warped nest
#

You can form a party of 3 and still queue for duty finder and let the game recruit the rest for you, bit odd, but doable

steep vine
#

So people who join the party. For example I put up one for thok ast thok (extreme) depending on what the person wants to do, we could run the trial over and over and over again?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

This is called a Farm party

#

By the community

steep vine
#

Right sweet, so if I were to make one myself I should put farm party. So people know exactly what I plan to do

warped nest
#

For Ravana ex, the general expectation is lvl 70+ party members, and around 4+ members

#

Note that while Ravana ex is level 60 fight

#

The advantage of pre-made party is you can go in without level sync

#

So everyone doesn't drop down to level 60. So they have level accurate hp and defense, and all the skills they have unlocked so far

#

This makes the farm goes much faster

steep vine
#

So to make the trial go faster would be to un sync, as dps would be higher

warped nest
#

4 lvl 80 party member can probably whack Ravana EX in around 2 minutes (when I helped out in Stormblood, 6 lvl 70 can do it in 3-4 ish)

#

Yup

steep vine
#

Right ok, so to start the farm. I need to find a party. Through party finder. After finding a group I would unsync the trial. And rinse and repeat

#

Until 99 totems, it the chance of the mount dropping g

warped nest
#

After you got a party, you check for undersized party in your Duty finder (this unsync level, and let you go in with your current party with no match making)

steep vine
#

Right ok, I get it. Thankyou for the help 🙂

warped nest
#

Then you use duty finder to queue, but since you applied the correct setting, you will skip match making, and will go in with your existing party (even if you don't have 8 players)

vernal urchin
#

Also, generally once you get a group going and actually running the fight, it's proper etiquette to run it until everyone gets their mount

warped nest
#

Or set up expectations in recruitment, like 15 runs

vernal urchin
#

That too

steep vine
#

That’s fair, so you can set it up. To specify what you want to do. So if I were to put 15 runs, the majority of people who would join would expect the 15 runs

little swift
#

Some people may loot and scoot thats not uncommon. You can always put up the pf again to replace numbers

#

Its also happens that people can't stay as long as youd liek

warped nest
#

People can come in and say "I can do 10"

#

And you just manage them accordingly

steep vine
#

Ok, I get it. I understand why people would leave. Either due to selfish reasons (getting the mount) or real life things

warped nest
#

You will get the hang of it after a few times

#

I guess that's all there is for using party finder. So, Good luck and have fun

steep vine
#

Would it be easier to make one myself, or join one? Going to YouTube how to do it, so I can prepare and understand it fully before doing it and running the risk of messing it up and people leaving

warped nest
#

Either or

#

If one is recruiting, just join and help out

steep vine
#

Ideal thankyou, whilst on the subject of mounts. Is there a particularly easy one to get out of most mounts. Excluding MSQ mounts

#

Or the ones from Jonathan

warped nest
#

Beast tribe are the easiest, just need to do beast tribe quest daily

#

You will get them eventually

#

If you have a lvl 70+ combat job

#

ARR EX mounts are easy too, because you can unsync solo them

vernal urchin
#

The gold saucer has some mounts for sale as well

warped nest
#

So the first drop is always yours

steep vine
#

What’s ARR EX

vernal urchin
#

Though they require the gold saucer currency, mgp

warped nest
#

Lvl 50 EX trials

#

So Extreme Ramuh, Titan, Ifrit, Leviathan, Shiva, and Garuda

#

These 6

#

Has horse mount

#

They can be soloed comfortably with lvl 70+ combat job

steep vine
#

So it might be easier to do these before doing the birds?

#

As I’m level 69 close to 70.

warped nest
#

It is easier

steep vine
#

So these horse mounts, how do I go about getting these, are they just random drops?

vernal urchin
#

Yeah they're random chance as well

warped nest
#

Yeah, once you hit 70, do your job quest, get lvl 70 Scaeven gear, and you are more than comfy to farm these ARR EX

#

I want to remind you that ARR EX doesn't have the 99 totem trading

steep vine
#

So these horses are based on chance

vernal urchin
#

But since the fights are easier you can run them fairly quickly

warped nest
#

99 totem trade exist for other EX mounts

steep vine
#

Right ok, thankyou again. I might go for the horses first, then birds and so fourth. I just want a different mount to either behemoth or chicken

vernal urchin
#

Haha

#

If you get all 6 horses plus the seventh one called Nightmare, you can do a quest to get a golden horse

hearty crest
#

does armory chest = inventory?

warped nest
#

Nightmare is not required

#

No, Flab

vernal urchin
#

Oh I thought it was

hearty crest
#

how do i access armor chest

ruby granite
#

ctrl+i on pc

warped nest
#

On PS4, Press Option, look at left most Column, below Inventory

gloomy mortar
#

If you’re never going to do a trial 99 times, should you throw away the totems? I have a dozen here and there from several trials

warped nest
#

You can use them to trade for weapons

#

Then give the weapons to your GC for seals

#

At least you'd get something out of them this way

gloomy mortar
#

What are good fishing pole glams?

ruby granite
#

what are skywatchers for? how does weather play into this game?

#

Not quite

#

But yes, weather is mostly used for deciding which fish can be caught at what times

which lvl 80 retainer hunt exploration do i do for money

steep vine
#

Hello again. Back on the horse mounts from earlier. I’m a level 69 ninja, could I solo them to get the mounts. Or would it be wise to get other players

oak ice
#

At 70 with Augmented Scaevan gear you can do it pretty easily

runic tartan
#

would anyone mind doing some palace of the dead with me ^^ im a new player who just got that lvl 30 black mage

#

im trying to level up faster (:

#

ive been told that potd is the fastest way to level?? im not sure if that is accurate though

agile laurel
#

it's fastest if your queue times for dungeons suck

#

and also bear in mind, if this isn't an alt you're leveling you're not actually achieving anything

#

everything is locked behind msq

runic tartan
#

i know dw

#

but thank you!

#

im trying to level fast and play a bunch

obsidian patio
#

Without that you’ll probably only be able to solo Garuda, Titan, and maybe Shiva

steep vine
#

So would be best to still make a party for it then. Right thankyou 🙂

primal comet

!faq macros

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why are lines repeated in macros?

Macros execute one line for each frame in-game. This means that the repeated lines in macros are executed over the course of 12~15 frames, making them more reliable than the single-line macros which often require mashing the button in order to work.

robust notch
#

Hmm, idk

primal comet
#

trying to find out how to write mouseover macros

robust notch
#

Queue pop, aah

#

I'll see if I can help you after

primal comet
#

much love

#

i find others struggling with mouseover as well, trying to get mouseover heals to work like in wow, but i'm not used to the syntax of ffxiv macros

#
/micon Cure
/ac Cure <mo>
/ac Cure <tt>
/ac Cure <t>
/ac Cure <me>

the syntax seems to be "ac spellname"
i'm guessing "<mo>" stands for mouseover, but what are the others?

#

<t> target? <tt> targetoftarget?

agile laurel
#

i'll put it like this

#

XIV's macros, compared to wow, are abysmal

#

Like, actually cripplingly abysmal

primal comet
#

yeah reading forums now, ppl are not keen on macros it seems

agile laurel
#

As someone with experience in both, I can only say that by trying to do what you're doing, you will probably fail and certainly kneecap your actual effectiveness

primal comet
#

there's delays when using mouseovermacros as opposed to just target and heal

#

?

agile laurel
#

yes

primal comet
#

fking hell haha

obsidian patio
#

TL;DR: macros don’t queue into the GCD

#

so there’s always an inherent delay when using them for GCDs/oGCDs

agile laurel
#

and since they don't queue at all, you'll find yourself spamming them for them to actually WORK

obsidian patio
#

!faq macrogcd

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

primal comet
#

what's the most efficient way to play then, cuz coming from wow you use mouseover heals to be able to just pump damage into your target when healing is not required

obsidian patio
#

This shows it off visually

primal comet
#

having to switch target all the time will not be efficient

agile laurel
#

xiv is not a game where you need to keep someone on close focus for healing

#

it just doesn't work like that

obsidian patio
#

You rarely need to do spot healing on anyone but the main tank

#

And damage is very scripted out

agile laurel
#

nobody is going to die on any content if you look away from them for 3 seconds

#

and even if they might, you can know well in advance when that's likely to be

primal comet
#

does that include highest difficulty level?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

agile laurel
#

yes, nobody is going to randomly die even in Ultimate

#

well, they might, but that's their own problem for being oneshot by mechanics

gritty oracle
#

On the 22nd, will the houses be demolished at exactly the time patch released (6am est I think?) or at a set "house reset" time?

agile laurel
#

I like to draw a direct relation to WoW - compared to WoW, succeeding at your role (i.e., healing or not dying while tanking) is not difficult, in any level of content

#

however, the difficulty is picked up in high levels of content by comparatively blinding levels of mechanical intricacy

obsidian patio
#

If no one entered their house after the auto demolition timer pause was removed, then yes they will demolish around that time

primal comet
#

@agile laurel can you rephrase it a bit

gritty oracle
#

Do the usual rules about house camping, like waiting for prime time, still apply?

primal comet
#

the last phrase

agile laurel
#

Mechanics in XIV can be broadly described as a dance

#

There's a lot more movement requirements, prepositioning, and exact handling of mechanics required

#

compared to WoW's 'this hurts' or 'hit this' or 'this checks your healers'

gritty oracle
primal comet
#

so throughput is not as big of a factor?

agile laurel
#

HEALING throughput, hell no

#

honestly as a healer you should be aiming for damage throughput to truly gauge your skill at the game

warped nest
#

You have a lot of tools to heal

agile laurel
#

while obviously still healing the content successfully

warped nest
#

You don't need to be on it 24/7

primal comet
#

yeah, that's what i'm trying to solve, the dmg throughput as a healer

#

that's why i'm trying to check macros etc

agile laurel
#

honestly you'll find that it's not difficult to heal

#

especially with WoW experience

#

especially as if you're trying to macro Cure I'll assume you're quite early level

primal comet
#

i'm a cutting edge wow player, played for over 15 years XD trying to get a grasp of ffxiv atm cuz i'm havin a minor break in wow (got two kids, cant commit to raidnights needed)

gritty oracle
#

Even savage is, in my experience, either really hard or incredibly easy. If you haven't got the dance, it's hard. Then it's easy since there isn't any wild variables beyond "which of these two mechanics is going out first, then second" which isn't all that common anyways

primal comet
#

yeah, im just at the start, just making ui settings etc

#

haven't stepped outside yet 😄

agile laurel
#

Stereotypically difficult mechanics in savage are the sorts of things that require full precise party positioning

#

and i mean hell, there's also different viable ways to handle that specifically

primal comet
#

interresting

gritty oracle
#

I'd say light rampant is harder than hello world because in HW there are precise markers you need to stand on, if you do Sharingan you can do the mechanic near perfectly and still accidentally clip an orb and wipe the party

#

HW is "stand on this marker, then stand on this marker, then go to C you're done"

agile laurel
#

Yeah, I just cited hello world because it's the stereotypical 'haha stand in the correct obscure place or the whole party dies instantly' mechanic

#

but LR fits that bill too

gritty oracle
#

It's not obscure anymore since we have the markers
In LR you gotta move and it can be very tight in Sharingan

agile laurel
#

potato potato

#

was only to demonstrate a point

gritty oracle
#

Fair fair

south roost
#

What is the point where item level starts outpacing gear level? Trying to level my DoW retainers and the gear requirements are bleeding me dry

warped nest
#

Gear lvl 45-50 ish

south roost
#

So not even close, at 30 now. Guess I'll just out them on the back burner for now since I def can't afford them

warped nest
#

Btw, your retainer cannot out level you

south roost
#

I'm lv70

#

72*

warped nest
#

Oh, ah

gritty oracle
warped nest
#

/\

south roost
#

I tried that and bled out even faster from venture cost

gritty oracle
#

You should do more roulettes and hand in the gear you get for GC seals

south roost
#

I found I just spent all my time doing duty finder to get seals to get ventures

#

It might be relevant to mention I have 10 retainers so my venture expenditures are higher then the norm

gritty oracle
#

Oooooh. Yeah. With 10 that'll do it.

warped nest
#

Just to be sure, you are aware that you can trade gear for GC seals?

south roost
#

Yes it's still not enough

warped nest
#

Just making sure you are aware of all your options

gritty oracle
#

10 retainers are 20 ventures per hour

south roost
#

^ which is 4k GC seals

gritty oracle
#

What are your retainers' classes? I'd focus on three and leave the others alone. A miner, a botanist and a combat retainer.

south roost
#

4 DoW/M 3Miner 3Bot

gritty oracle
#

Focus on one of each and leave the rest at low levels. Then repeat until you got 10 80s.

south roost
#

Oh yes I can cycle the gear to the others behind it

#

That's smart

#

Thank you

fresh isle
#

If you have pre-made party can more people use the role?
like more than one tank or healer in case of 4 member party?

green grail
#

yeah, premade parties ignore duty finder's party comp requirements

ok thx

#

Do the different classes have different stories, at least in the beginning since you start off in different areas? (i heard you start in different areas so ignore me if I'm wrong). If that's the case though, would it make sense to play the game again later as a new class for the new starting area?

Hey! I Started FF14 two days ago and I've reached lvl 50 as BRD but I'm looking to find a new job. I've read a lot about SAM, NIN and BLM but I struggle to choose between these. My question is which class allows me to get to play endgame content in the future? I've heard BLM and SAM arent desired jobs in raids.

green grail
#

the story is "different" up to level 15, but it's just short inconsequential intro storylines in the 3 starting cities that don't matter to the rest of the main scenario @final osprey

final osprey
#

Thanks. I'll probably just watch YouTube videos to see the differences

warped nest
#

@fervent nexus the important part is you can play well

green grail
#

it's only possible for crafted gear, you need to have advanced materia melding unlocked and you can meld one mat8 in the first "invisible" slot, then mat7s in the rest up to 5 slots in total @iron rock

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

open coral
#

FFXIV, even at endgame, is very much a "bring the player" type of game, unlike many other MMOs where you "bring the class".

fervent nexus
#

Thanks for answers, in that case I believe BLM is my choice as I tend to choose caster dps in most of the games. I can imagine it's close to playing warlock in WOW, especially in earlier expansions

open coral
#

BLM is most similar to Fire Mage in WoW. Big burst damage.

#

SMN is more similar to 'lock, using pets and dots as their primary mechanics.

fervent nexus
#

I dislike playing around pets tho. Dot part seems appealing as I've always raided as affliction lock in the expansions where I've chosen lock. Black Mage in the otherhand appears to be closer to lock in positioning (correct if im wrong) and it has lots of casting which I like

#

Only afraid of not getting to enjoy the endgame in the future because of all the talk about "meta jobs" in internet when doing research about classes 😄

gritty oracle
#

tbh all jobs are viable. Bard was in one of the frist TEA (the hardest content in the game) clear groups when bard was a meme.

proud willow
#

That's kind of surprising tbh; people are very vocal about how all jobs are viable in this game, all the way up to Ultimate

gritty oracle
#

every job has its strengths and weaknesses. BLM has the most damage out of any casters, but it has zero utility to offer the group and you have to really know the fight to bring the most out of it

open coral
#

Like DRG being floor tanks due to their animation locks.

green grail
warped nest
#

Summoner rotation has natural AOE in it

#

So it has significant advantage in certain fights too

gritty oracle
#

so if I'm playing TT with a NPC that has cards to offer me, how do I know that their card supply is exhausted and I'm better off challenging others?

open coral
#

You can see when you challenge them whether they have cards available. If you've already obtained all of the cards they offer, they'll all be visible. Otherwise the cards you haven't gotten will still show as ? icons.

#

Under "possible rewards" in the challenge window.

You shouldve been redirected to a code input whenever you finished up registering right after

#

i believe when i registered trough the launcher, i got email first after registering, then i could input the code.

fervent nexus
#

is there a way to modify castbar? interrupted text and time remaining positioning are nasty imo 😄

alpine shadow
#

Should be on System -> GUI settings?

#

like where you choose your positioning of hotbars?

fervent nexus
#

i was only able to adjust size and transparency

raven granite
#

i will try again tomorrow thanks for the help thaun. game looks fun im excited to try it out

gritty oracle
#

You can split enemy hp bar to separate the catbar

robust notch
#

He means his own castbar

gritty oracle
#

ah. What do you mean you can't reposition it?

robust notch
#

And no, without third party mods you're unable to remove or reposition the interrupt message or the cast time.

fervent nexus
#

i can resposition it but not change the way it looks. like it displays ugly "interrupted" text

robust notch
#

And those aren't allowed by ToS, so it's kinda up to you

fervent nexus
#

this game has addons like WoW?

robust notch
#

No.

alpine shadow
#

Yes

#

or no?

robust notch
#

Not like WoW does.

#

WoW's addons are fully supported by Blizzard

#

FFXIV doesn't have that same support

fervent nexus
#

ok ty, i quess i just gotta learn to deal with it :&

alpine shadow
#

is it so you want to remove the interrupted sign out of the cast bar?

fervent nexus
#

yes and preferably chance the way it displays remaining cast time

#

change*

alpine shadow
#

Caraxi said that they could add that option with their plugin Simple Tweaks plugin in the XIVLauncher.

fervent nexus
#

this looks great, im gonna try this plugin ty!

thick summit
#

Ricochet and Gauss Round don't share a cooldown?

#

or am i misunderstanding this

green grail
#

they don't

thick summit
#

lol

green grail
#

they're separate ogcd's

#

use both

thick summit
#

time to schüt

green grail
#

they "share" the cooldown reduction from heat blasts

#

since it reduces cooldown on both

thick summit
#

that's why i was asking

#

good lord

#

so much pew pew

pale saffron
#

anyone know how reduction works D:

there's a section about it here

pale saffron

ooh

but theres like some purity thing

#

which is wher eim confused

analog grail

Hi i cant seems to access the game or the website is there any maintenace or smntn?

green grail

pale saffron

oh cuz i looked at the wiki and theres this purity variable involved?

green grail

old info, the system got reworked with 5.4

#

no more purity

ahhh ok, thanks!

#

this section is better than NN :3

gritty oracle
#

If I ress a random person but they don't take it or have another rez pending, does it count for the achievement?

rugged lagoon
#

hi

#

I am first time player trying to choose a starting class

#

any suggestions?

green grail
#

whatever you like the looks/idea of most peepoHappyShrug

rugged lagoon
#

not a long term thing?

gritty oracle
#

You can pick up any class later

rugged lagoon
#

oh cool

gritty oracle
#

and you can switch between any classes you have at a snap

rugged lagoon
#

still I would love suggestions. which would be easiest to play on a controller

gritty oracle
#

for example I got almost all classes unlocked and reasonably leveled

gritty oracle
#

Iirc the game was made so it's easy to play on controller. That being said, I think marauder/warrior, conjurer/white mage and archer/bard are pretty simple.

green grail
#

bard's a good starting job, combat gets faster earlier than some other jobs, not too many buttons, lots of mobility

fervent nexus
#

@alpine shadow do you know how to install this simple tweaks mod? I installed advanced combat tracker and some other plugins using it but it seems simpletweaks isnt installed trough it

gritty oracle
#

I personally recommend marauder because it'll put you in Limsa, which has the best opening story.

gritty oracle
alpine shadow
#

^

rugged lagoon
#

okay. thank you all.

fervent nexus
#

ok thanks I'll look into it

rugged lagoon
#

bard is archer?

gritty oracle
#

yes

#

classes, at level 30, "evolve" into jobs

rugged lagoon

cool

manic rune
#

good for first timer if you don’t quite know what you’re doing yet

rugged lagoon
#

okay i'll take archer then

gilded ravine
#

is there any preference for which server to play on, or it's just a personal preference?

rugged lagoon
#

there is something called a preferred server

#

idk how it works

manic rune
#

play with friends if you know ppl

#

otherwise pick a preferred server for exp bonus

gilded ravine
#

i'm playing this solo unfortunately

rugged lagoon
#

@gilded ravine are you starting as well?

gilded ravine
#

alright then, i think i'll selected whatever then...hah

green grail
#

preferred servers have double exp under level 70 so it's a good choice

gilded ravine
rugged lagoon
#

okay im playing on chaos - spriggan

#

i just started as well

#

chose archer class

manic rune
#

try tonberry if you’re playing on elemental

gilded ravine
#

oh no, i'm afraid i might get a lot of lags on an european server though

manic rune
#

it has the biggest SEA population

rugged lagoon
#

okay

gilded ravine
#

honestly, i don't mind NA as well, as i do get decent pings on NA server

manic rune
#

yeah, a lot of australian players there too

gilded ravine
#

but European servers tend to lag me a lot

#

ahh, cool, got it, many thanks

manic rune
#

but mainly timezones will help a lot

gilded ravine
#

true

manic rune
#

since i play on NA from australia and queues get pretty dead past a certain hour

gilded ravine
#

ahh, got it

rugged lagoon
#

ah! I did not think of that

gilded ravine
#

much thanks, i have another 8 days of quarantine to sit in, and possibly another 14 days more if i'm entering China....i'll be stationed there for 3 months...will need to get a VPN before i enter

Hey everyone

fervent nexus
#

is the dps meter plugin for only dungeons/raids or world aswell because I cant seem to make it work while killing random mobs for testing purposes

manic rune
#

it works on all mobs

#

have you made an exception for ACT in ur firewall?

crisp edge
#

With Materia Transmutation is there a cap on how high materia can be made? Ie, can 5 VII be used and you get a VIII, same for VIII > IX or is the cap on how high transmutation can make capped at VII

I consider downloading the game. Last time I played I was so confused and overwhelmed by everything, I need a guide..

so if you put a bunch of 5s in, there's a chance to get a 6

manic rune

hmm, try exiting and relaunching ACT. if it still doesn’t work, try asking the ACT server

leaden ginkgo
#

Alrighty then..

But if I put in 5 IX will I have a chance at X or will the game say "sorry but no, you're only getting lvl IX from that we don't allow it to make Xs"?

yep

fervent nexus
#

@manic rune got it work, thanks for help. these plugins will definitely improve game experience 😄

cold steppe
#

oh? newest eden needs only 485 IL to enter? the non-savage ones. mooglethink

twilit arch
#

yes

#

normal mode generally has fairly low ilvl requirements

cold steppe
#

good to know, i was kinda concerned i wouldnt be able to get in without buying gear for 510 but if thats the case then crystarium set is more than enough for normals

manic rune
#

you’d only need 510 if you’re doing savage pretty sure

hollow urchin
#

Can I do all professions, like minner or goldsmith at the same time?

cold steppe
#

it seems like it yeah.

manic rune
#

yes, you can level all classes at the same time

#

especially for gathers and crafters, since they share gear

hollow urchin
#

And what does it gives?

manic rune
#

if you do them one by one your inventory will get super full with different levels of gear

#

uhh

#

the ability to craft items

hollow urchin
#

Should I go to main missions or doing at the same time that kind of missions

twilit arch
#

crafting/gathering is entirely optional

manic rune
#

and you get to mend your own gear

twilit arch
#

and general recommendation is to do it once you're max level since its usually easier to level them then

manic rune
#

yeah, focus on your main scenario quest and your combat class

twilit arch
#

you'll have gil from the main scenario quest, easier time unlocking the various ways of leveling them, and have teleports, etc unlocked

hollow urchin
#

Okay hehe

#

thanks!

cold steppe
#

teleports/flying make alot of diffrence when doing those, especially gatherers i feel. lol

unreal python
#

Which diadem mobs drop electrum ore?

fervent nexus
#

that's up to date*

cold steppe
#

i assume those eden drops like armor of lost antiquity and such are those weekly eden drops? mooglethink

twilit arch
#

ye, eden's promise is weekly locked

#

so you can get 1 token per floor

#

and 1 blade from e12n a week

cold steppe
#

doesnt that mean you need 7 weeks for a weapon from eden? mooglethink

open coral
#

Yes

cold steppe
#

dang

open coral
#

It is what it is.

#

You can get one in... four weeks? I think? If you do Savage.

twilit arch
#

3ish

green grail
#

three weeks of tomes

twilit arch
#

since the roadblock is the tomes themselves

open coral
#

Yeah. But less time than Normal.

cold steppe
#

If. :p But yeah i guess im not in too big of a hurry to try Savages yet anyway, and i feel like bothering with extremes first would be better, to get practice in for more tight content

#

so i guess it doesnt matter as much

open coral
#

Honestly you can do just fine without the Savage weapon

cold steppe
#

i've seen you can get 515 from the uhh, newest extreme?

open coral
#

EmEx weapon is also good, yes.

scarlet arrow
#

yes

cold steppe
#

yeah

#

well that'll always be something to look forward to anyway tho.

gloomy mortar
#

So if you had a complete lvl530 set, what do you do with it?

scarlet arrow
#

show it off

cold steppe
#

thanks for explaining.

open coral
#

green grail
#

faint flare
#

Flex...do parse runs

wispy parcel
#

Pretty much once you get the best gear ur kinda done

unreal python
#

Which diadem mobs drop electrum ore?

scarlet arrow
#

full 530 set is basically an achievement of its own

manic rune
#

try asking in diadem

unreal python
#

Kk!

manic rune
#

if your miner is at level 80, the drops from min-related mobs will only be lvl 80 items

#

which varies depending on the mob

#

so if you want to get lvl 60 min mats, you can only mine them manually

#

otherwise if you’re at 79 or under, the mobs drop level 40, 60-70 and 80 mats

raw granite
#

Do you still get a little more xp if you do a dungeon through roulette if you already got the reward for the day ?

faint flare
#

No

raw granite
#

fair enough

manic rune
#

no, you get the same exp you would get if you just did the dungeon normally

#

so good luck if you queue into sastasha at lvl 75 after doing the daily roulettes already

raw granite
#

oof

scarlet arrow
#

if you've already gotten your roulette bonus you should manually queue for the highest-level dungeon available instead of taking your chances with the roulette again

lavish vortex
#

hi!!!, whats the best new method to farm for Gatherers yellow scripts?

thick bolt
#

so I uhhh ran out of inventory space on my retainers and got another one, how do I actually get it?

the retainer vocate?

#

whichg ever one I pay $2 extra a month for

#

got it

oak spindle
#

i started shb relic with scholar and got some tortured memories, can i abondon the quest and redo the relic quest with ast and keep the tortured memories

open coral
#

You should be able to, yes.

#

The memories are inventory items, and they carry over between weapons.

hot eagle
#

yes can also farm with ast only need to have the quest for them to drop

open coral
#

If you really wanted to you could farm out all of the memories for every weapon before turning in the quest with even one job.

Sharp vision is for the rest of the node

#

does FFXIV have dailies or weeklies?

crystal bluff
#

yes

gloomy ice
#

That is to say it has both. Duty Roulettes, beast tribe rep quests, and Grand Company deliveries for crafters and gatherers are on a daily timer. Current raid drops, end game currency drops, and Custom Deliveries for crafters and gatherers are on a weekly timer.

little swift

But all of it is optional you're never obligated to do them

as a free trial can i party with other free tirals?

so basically i can't run a dungeon with another free trial?

in short its a free RPG that has bad story until like 30 hours in

so RNG queue?

have a lower storage cap

#

lower currency cap

hearty crest

basically mute?

you can talk, but only if youre in party

like really close

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

Arr jobs are kinda fucky like that

leaden ginkgo
#

So...the next raid will be tougher than this right?

jaunty mason

the last quest i just finished is "in nature's embrace"

scarlet arrow
#

there should be another bluequest in the conjurer's guild that will unlock white mage

warm snow
#

Until the next expansion

scarlet arrow
#

but before you do that there is ALSO a quest in the same area that unlocks a unicorn mount, but you have to be a conjurer do it (not a white mage)

its 4 quests, like turbo said

then do more msq until you reach Sylph-Management

once you do that go back to the conjurer's guild and you'll see the bluequest for white mage

#

it is after

was gonna take arcanist quest coz of google 😅

if they are on lord of the inferno

they are about 7-8 quests from sylph mgmt

it was removed in 4.0, yes

So dark knight doesn't have a class requirement to go into but does have a level requirement. If my retainer is a lv80 conjurer and I swap him to dark knight does he become a lv80 dark knight or a lv50 dark knight?

each world's progress is different because its based on participation

half kraken
#

oh different stages, but same phase, gotcha

frozen girder
#

I'm having issues

#

._.

little swift
#

With those stats you should be fine

half kraken
#

there's macros for 80 crafts

little swift
#

Lead with muscle memory

half kraken
#

even scrip gear is enough

frozen girder
#

It's a 60 craft

little swift
#

Thats not an 80 craft

half kraken
#

oh wew

#

You may be doing something wrong with your rotation if you're running out of durability before finishing.

frozen girder
#

The issue is that you need at least 300 quality

little swift
#

Do you use inner quiet at all

frozen girder
#

I do

little swift
#

What are your base stats like

frozen girder
#

Base stats?

little swift
#

Yah unbuffed stats

frozen girder
#

This is unbuffed stats

little swift
#

1300 control is unbuffed

#

?

frozen girder
terse grail
#
frozen girder
#

Yes

terse grail
#

you dont have enough cp looks like

little swift
#

Those only work if you use the food to make the breakpoint

#

The pieces are melded as well

frozen girder
#

What food

leaden ginkgo
#

What is the purpose of these Stone sky dummies?

little swift
#

It says in there

leaden ginkgo
#

They dont even show anything..just time

terse grail
#

the level 60 rotation requires 622/643/430. craftsmanship/control/cp

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
terse grail
#

make sure you meet those stat points before using the rotation

agile laurel
#

oh wait

little swift
leaden ginkgo
#

I see. So stay away

terse grail
#

it aint the best tool, but its still very useful

agile laurel
#

Basically, if you can kill a SSS dummy in the timer, you're theoretically qualified to clear the relevant content

little swift
#

They reset your cooldowns so its good to practice your openers with them

frozen girder
#

How do I get more GP

#

I have all level 67 accessories

terse grail
#

food

frozen girder
#

What food

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea i tried it with both smn and rdm. They are too easy to kill

terse grail
#

crafter food gives a ton of cp

frozen girder
#

Where can I get it

terse grail
#

read the guide, it says it on there

#

what food you need

#

you can also click on the teamcraft link to sim it yourself

#

food can be bought from the marketboard or crafted yourself

little swift
#

I'm pretty sure the cp amount they have now is almost enough anyways currently

#

Cp food won't give 100 cp

terse grail
#

you could also use the teamcraft simulator to adjust the rotation according to the amount of cp you have. take out some steps, or add others, etc

#

learning how to craft properly is very much a trial and error thing, as everyone will have differing stats

#

its finding a rotation via a guide, and adjusting it based on your current stats

frozen girder
#

I just don't know how I can get this exp

#

If I'm 100 CP behind that's pretty big

little swift
#

You aren't

leaden ginkgo
#

Im so undecided now when it comes to selecting a main. I like both rdm and smn alot. I practiced alot with this summoner and got the gist of his thing but on synced content its basically a dot mage..i dont like that lol. Without bahamut its more boring than redmage

little linden
#

Hello I am having problems registering my product. I was using he Windows Free trial but I bought the game on steam, did I mess up?

little swift
#

Just change how you rotate

terse grail
#

eat some crafter food and adjust the rotation a bit, and you should be fine

#

take out some touches here and there

twilit arch
#

what problem exactly are you having registering

little linden
#

i get Error Code: i2501

little swift
#

Give me like 5 minutes@frozen girder ill help you out in a sec

frozen girder
#

Idk anything about crafting

twilit arch
#

unfortunately i2501 is a broad error that can be hard to figure out a solution for. Some common recommended solutions are: trying a different browser, try using mobile data, turn off vpn if you're using one.

frozen girder
#

I really just want to get a crafter to level 80 and learn endgame crafting ._.

little linden
#

Yeah it doesn't make any sense I'm not using a VPN i'm on my PC. Someone said it's steam related : /

twilit arch
#

its not

pearl pecan
#

I've been seeing a lot of ppl named lik Asadhasjkdh Kczjkls going under the ground and just killing mobs across whole areas, is there a way to report these people?

little swift
#

Learn starting now. Crafting is like combat you can't just skip to the end and expect it to be easier

austere agate
#

Can you get reported for saying the f word even if the game censors it?

twilit arch
#

something is tripping their system into thinking there's an error

terse grail
#

well, you cant learn endgame crafting without learning leveling crafting. its the same as any combat job.

frozen girder
#

I've been reading every skill

twilit arch
#

try the first two suggestions, see if that does anything

frozen girder
#

I get the gist of it

#

I'll watch a leveling guide once I'm at 80

little linden
#

yeah i'll try thanks kael

warm snow
#

Well I mean someone can report you but the mods probably won't do anything

twilit arch
#

sometimes i2501 goes away on its own, otherwise can try contacting support cos there's really not much can do about it if those things don't work :\

warm snow
#

You can even turn off the profanity filter

terse grail
#

mess around with this and get a feel for how adjusting your rotation works

#

if you need an example, i can help you out further

austere agate
#

Also, for some reason when i was fighting the chrysallis i got disconnected from the game and when i tried to login again the game didn't let me

little linden
#

OOOOOHHH I wonder if I was logging into the steam website using my other steam account I have two....

agile laurel
#

could be it didn't have time to remove your character

#

happens to me all the time when my vpn throws me out

#

@austere agate

austere agate
#

Remove my character?

little linden
#

nnope that wasn't it

warm snow
#

Game still thinks youre logged in due to dc

twilit arch
#

so sometimes when you get disconnected your character isn't properly logged out from the game

#

it can take a couple of minutes for the game to properly log your character off before you can log back in

austere agate
#

Yeah, but when i tried to open the launcher it says a connection error has occurred. please try again later

warm snow
#

That means your launcher is failing to connect

#

So fucky connection

austere agate
#

My internet connection is fine

#

I don't know what happened

twilit arch
#

your internet connection as a whole may be fine, but the connection to the ffxiv servers for you may not

austere agate
#

oh

twilit arch
#

its possible that a node that your internet takes to connect to the server is down or something

gritty oracle
#

In Onhai Hakair, is it possible for an oovoo to switch hands once claimed?

tardy patio
#

how come some diadem node resources are worth < 30 gil already and others are still holding > 500gil each

#

I have to research each item from a node slot before going in to make sure if the 20 gil item pops up, I get another slot instead 😦

little swift
#

@frozen girder whats the minimum collectability theyll accept? I don't remember off the top of my head

austere agate
#

Should i do something or wait?

frozen girder
#

300

little swift
#

i made the macro under the assumption you don't have manipulation

@frozen girder

#

far from optimal but it works

frozen girder
#

Imma wait to look at that and make my own

hey is there a way to turn off auto target team?

IE.. doing a campaign duty, and my char auto targets friendlies instead of enemy, is there a way in settings to make it so enemies are targeted first?

twilit arch
#

@gritty oracle no

frozen girder
#

@little swift that look good?

#

887 quality?

little swift
#

oh you have wn2

#

true

#

thats fine

frozen girder
#

wn2?

twilit arch
#

waste not 2

frozen girder
#

Ah

#

It seems I do

little swift
#

wait you're inputting fully buffed stats

#

i don't think you have 1300 control @frozen girder

frozen girder
#

OH SHIZ

#

Crap yah

little swift
#

i was wondering why my input of your rotation attempt wasn't lining up

frozen girder
#

Either way

little swift
#

you get about 4k that way

frozen girder
#

Yah

little swift
#

my rotation is a tad higher

frozen girder
#

Tho it's 300 / 850 / 1320

#

So uh

little swift
#

it doesn't really make a difference then

#

save 2 steps and go for minimum

frozen girder
#

I was so happy about getting 850

#

Cries

#

hits the minimum

also remember if you have cp left over, you can put that into buffs

little swift
#

no reason to if its not going to make a difference in the collectible reward

terse grail
#

true, was just a reminder

#

if you cant hit the 2nd tier, then yea no point

austere agate
#

Sorry to ask again, but should i wait until it connects or do something?

cold steppe
#

is it shown somewhere in-game if you got loot for your eden stuff already from specyfic fights or do i have to memorize it?

hearty crest
#

how is WoW end game compare to FFXIV's endgame

raven sage
cold steppe
#

gochu, thanks!

little swift
#

the raid tier has both normal mode and savage difficulty

#

the order of ascending difficulty with some overlap is

#

normal/hard mode > extreme/unreal > savage > ultimate

#

unreal is basically old extreme fights tuned up to the endgame level cap

#

its an old fight that gets recycled out between every major patch

#

ultimate fights are like 15-20 minute boss gauntlets that require extreme mechanical precision

austere agate
#

Yeah, it's something about my internet for sure

#

Other pages not related to ffxiv are having the same problems

#

Thanks for answering

final osprey
#

in the kicking the hornets main story quest, how do i make my character say "face me" to draw agro?

polar hound
#

You type /say "face me"

final osprey
#

in the general chat?

polar hound
#

/say will make it go into say chat yep

#

Make sure you have the npc targetted

final osprey
#

thanks. In battles later in the game are there any abilities that draw agro? i can't imagine having to type that in an actual fight

polar hound
#

For tanks yep

#

This isnt a normal thing youll do outside of quests. Its just more interactive i guess

final osprey
#

ah

#

ok, well thanks for the help

gritty oracle
#

Do squadron missions have a 100% failure rate when not all 3 stats are above the requirement? Despire the lala bastard saying "yeah it's gonna be challenging but they can probably do it" I haven't had a single successful mission when a stat was below the requirement.

obsidian patio

The priority missions need all 3 stats met

faint flare
#

Its 33% per stat met

And priority is ^

can you do this quest solo unsynced?

if it's a quest scenario battle

probably not

they usually force sync

only duty finder content can be unsynced

Oh those

#

yes

#

you can

Yes unsynced is fine

Only the current relic has the synced caveat

Hello i'm brand new to the game and i was wondering how i could see my FPS (adjusting settings before i really get into it)

Do you need to cap 240/240 for anima phase 3 before you can proceed?

Yes you need to cap out the points
