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
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?
Right sweet, so if I were to make one myself I should put farm party. So people know exactly what I plan to do
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
So to make the trial go faster would be to un sync, as dps would be higher
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
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
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)
Right ok, I get it. Thankyou for the help 🙂
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)
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
Or set up expectations in recruitment, like 15 runs
That too
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
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
Ok, I get it. I understand why people would leave. Either due to selfish reasons (getting the mount) or real life things
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
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
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
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
The gold saucer has some mounts for sale as well
So the first drop is always yours
What’s ARR EX
Though they require the gold saucer currency, mgp
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
So it might be easier to do these before doing the birds?
As I’m level 69 close to 70.
It is easier
So these horse mounts, how do I go about getting these, are they just random drops?
Yeah they're random chance as well
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
So these horses are based on chance
But since the fights are easier you can run them fairly quickly
99 totem trade exist for other EX mounts
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
Haha
If you get all 6 horses plus the seventh one called Nightmare, you can do a quest to get a golden horse
does armory chest = inventory?
Oh I thought it was
how do i access armor chest
ctrl+i on pc
On PS4, Press Option, look at left most Column, below Inventory
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
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
What are good fishing pole glams?
what are skywatchers for? how does weather play into this game?
More fishes when rainy

Not quite
But yes, weather is mostly used for deciding which fish can be caught at what times

i need alch help. first quest said i'd need master alch 2... then i did the quests and now it says i need master alch 3
but i didnt do master alch 2
but uhh. do i just do master alch 3 for scrips now?
You don’t need the 1st or 2nd master craft books
thanks @obsidian patio and @leaden ginkgo
which lvl 80 retainer hunt exploration do i do for money
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
At 70 with Augmented Scaevan gear you can do it pretty easily
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
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
Hitting level 70 and using scaevan gear will be a massive boost in stats and HP
Without that you’ll probably only be able to solo Garuda, Titan, and maybe Shiva
So would be best to still make a party for it then. Right thankyou 🙂
can anyone shed some light on the hud settings for status info, three boxes. i've googled but haven't found anything that makes my head clear of what to put where
(just started the game, total nub, trying to set up my ui)
hey guys is there any good way to level dps than waiting in duty roulette for eons
Do you mean Enhancements, Enfeeblements and Other?
yeah
What about heaven on high
Enhancements are positive buffs
whats an on level dungeon
on myself or on my target
Yourself
ok, so enfeeb is debuff on myself then
Yes.
Status Info is for yourself
Target Info (Status) will have all of your targets buffs
Be it buffs or debuffs.
Dungeons at your level. What level are you?
i just started rdm so 51
ahh, on the target bar settings
cheers mate
👌
👌
what skill speed should a ninja be at?
The Balance's Ninja BiS set seems to have 2.5 without Huton, 2.12 with.
So no Skill Speed
Does the ShB post campaign quest unlock anything besides Dungeons?
Do you mean 5.1 5.2 5.3 and 5.4 MSQ?
yeah

but it's the MSQ so you'll have to do it sooner or later either way.
There's also one trial. Forgot about that one.
!faq macro
!faq macros
Hmm, idk
trying to find out how to write mouseover macros
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?
i'll put it like this
XIV's macros, compared to wow, are abysmal
Like, actually cripplingly abysmal
yeah reading forums now, ppl are not keen on macros it seems
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
yes
fking hell haha
TL;DR: macros don’t queue into the GCD
so there’s always an inherent delay when using them for GCDs/oGCDs
and since they don't queue at all, you'll find yourself spamming them for them to actually WORK
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
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
This shows it off visually
having to switch target all the time will not be efficient
xiv is not a game where you need to keep someone on close focus for healing
it just doesn't work like that
You rarely need to do spot healing on anyone but the main tank
And damage is very scripted out
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
does that include highest difficulty level?
Yep
yes, nobody is going to randomly die even in Ultimate
well, they might, but that's their own problem for being oneshot by mechanics
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?
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
If no one entered their house after the auto demolition timer pause was removed, then yes they will demolish around that time
@agile laurel can you rephrase it a bit
Do the usual rules about house camping, like waiting for prime time, still apply?
the last phrase
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'
In FFXIV, all damage is incredibly predictable. Let me fetch the chart of E9S as an example
so throughput is not as big of a factor?
HEALING throughput, hell no
honestly as a healer you should be aiming for damage throughput to truly gauge your skill at the game
You have a lot of tools to heal
while obviously still healing the content successfully
You don't need to be on it 24/7
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
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
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)
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
yeah, im just at the start, just making ui settings etc
haven't stepped outside yet 😄
Stereotypically difficult mechanics in savage are the sorts of things that require full precise party positioning
https://streamable.com/24iuj This as a prime example
and i mean hell, there's also different viable ways to handle that specifically
interresting
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"
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
It's not obscure anymore since we have the markers
In LR you gotta move and it can be very tight in Sharingan
Fair fair
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
Gear lvl 45-50 ish
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
Btw, your retainer cannot out level you
Oh, ah
I recommend leveling your retainer through quick ventures. It's slightly more expensive (it's not like ventures are hard to obtain....) and you get worthless crap like 99% of the time, but it's fixed XP depending on retainer level and iirc you level up in 4 ventures
/\
I tried that and bled out even faster from venture cost
You should do more roulettes and hand in the gear you get for GC seals
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
Oooooh. Yeah. With 10 that'll do it.
Just to be sure, you are aware that you can trade gear for GC seals?
Yes it's still not enough
Just making sure you are aware of all your options
10 retainers are 20 ventures per hour
^ which is 4k GC seals
What are your retainers' classes? I'd focus on three and leave the others alone. A miner, a botanist and a combat retainer.
4 DoW/M 3Miner 3Bot
Focus on one of each and leave the rest at low levels. Then repeat until you got 10 80s.
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?
yeah, premade parties ignore duty finder's party comp requirements
ok thx

I've heard that the castrum litore is apparently a bit dead nowadays, should I avoid wasting time working to it? what about the rest of bozjan
eureka is busier than bozja lol
but i'd try to get to like, lvl 12~ish at least
for 5.45 bozja update
What are the differences between Costume Sets and Armors from Mogry Station? Just set vs single parts?
So I'm thinking of changing Worlds. If I do, what happens to my GC Seals, my FC inventory (I run an FC), my retainers, apartment, etc?
GC seals and retainers, nothing happens and you keep everything
You have to leave the FC so no more FC chest, and you have to relinquish all housing so no apartment either
So I'd have to take my items from the FC chest and from my apartment and put them in my inventory or the retainers inventory to keep it all?
ye
What happens to the FC since I'm the leader? Does it just disband?
You can pass leadership to someone else
You have to leave the FC so either disband it which would be shitty to the members if you have any, or give someone else the leader
And my beast tribe rank and GC rank also come over?
yes

I'm also going to transfer DCs. Does my friend list get deleted or do I have to clear it myself?
it stays but 99.9% of people will be (Unable to retrieve), and if you had any people that moved to the same DC then you'll be able to refresh them for names instead of the unable to retrieve
Ty!
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?
How do u meld more than 2 materia? I've seen people with more than 2 materia melded
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.
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
Thanks. I'll probably just watch YouTube videos to see the differences
@fervent nexus the important part is you can play well
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
FFXIV, even at endgame, is very much a "bring the player" type of game, unlike many other MMOs where you "bring the class".
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
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.
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 😄
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.
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
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
All jobs are viable. That doesn't mean that some of them end up as memes due to other factors.
Like DRG being floor tanks due to their animation locks.
well fwiw it also depends on the fight, tea was mostly 2-target so bard dots were busted, rdm in world first shiva was a bigger outlier
Summoner rotation has natural AOE in it
So it has significant advantage in certain fights too
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?
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.

I've got two cards from this guy already, even though only two "bags" are shown in the reward window
is there a problem with the server? i keep disconnecting
You can get the same card multiple times. TT NPCs will usually have 1-2 "common" cards, and 1 "rare" card.
You have to actually add the card to your deck for it to count.
ah ty! Also just claimed the two cards he gave me and the TT mark above his head disappeared.
Which server, specifically?
light lich
No, there doesn't seem to be any current issue with any of the servers or datacenters.
ok thank you
just a question, is FC based off data center or specific server?
Specific server
so if my friend is from a different server and i would like to join their free company, it would be impossible?
yeah
😦 time to make new character
Are you registering the game trough mogstation?
are the coins from nier raids guarenteed for augmentation for crystarium?
what does finishing the nier questline do ? beside unlocking the raid
What is an effective way of leveling a 2nd job? I'm trying dungeons so far but I feel there are better ways. *(Currently level 17)
we'll find out in 5.5 when it ends
!faq altlvlguide
^
thank you
One drops every run for both. Its 100% guaranteed.
ok, thank you!
the mogstation gave me an error, i've restarted my cache and everything, it still doesn't allow me to register my game
hi i am having trouble making an account. I registered on the free trial website and it sent me a code but now I have nowhere to enter the code. Tried to register again and it said my email is already in use. I have the confirmation code just dont know where to put it.
What error?
i2501
different network? you mean changing up my IP?
alright, lemme try it with my phone then
i've tried with microsoft edge as well
same issue
is there no link on the email where to confirm?
no link to confirm
Did you attempt to login to mogstation? I think you did do input your password before registering
oh my, you're a savior!
Is there any rewards from doing the restoration sidequests?
yeah i cant login there either says i need to wait 24 hours
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.

is there a way to modify castbar? interrupted text and time remaining positioning are nasty imo 😄
Should be on System -> GUI settings?
like where you choose your positioning of hotbars?
i was only able to adjust size and transparency
i will try again tomorrow thanks for the help thaun. game looks fun im excited to try it out
You can split enemy hp bar to separate the catbar
He means his own castbar
ah. What do you mean you can't reposition it?
And no, without third party mods you're unable to remove or reposition the interrupt message or the cast time.
i can resposition it but not change the way it looks. like it displays ugly "interrupted" text
And those aren't allowed by ToS, so it's kinda up to you
this game has addons like WoW?
No.
Not like WoW does.
WoW's addons are fully supported by Blizzard
FFXIV doesn't have that same support
ok ty, i quess i just gotta learn to deal with it :&
is it so you want to remove the interrupted sign out of the cast bar?
Caraxi said that they could add that option with their plugin Simple Tweaks plugin in the XIVLauncher.
this looks great, im gonna try this plugin ty!
they don't
lol
time to schüt
they "share" the cooldown reduction from heat blasts
since it reduces cooldown on both
anyone know how reduction works D:
aetherial reduction?
ye
!faq dolcollect
there's a section about it here
Hi i cant seems to access the game or the website is there any maintenace or smntn?
scrutiny or integrity? there's nothing called purity involved
nope, everything's up and running
If I ress a random person but they don't take it or have another rez pending, does it count for the achievement?
whatever you like the looks/idea of most 
not a long term thing?
You can pick up any class later
oh cool
and you can switch between any classes you have at a snap
still I would love suggestions. which would be easiest to play on a controller
for example I got almost all classes unlocked and reasonably leveled
cool!
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.
bard's a good starting job, combat gets faster earlier than some other jobs, not too many buttons, lots of mobility
@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
I personally recommend marauder because it'll put you in Limsa, which has the best opening story.
Simple tweaks is in XIVlauncher, not ACT. Get XIVlauncher first, then install ST as a plugin.
^
okay. thank you all.
ok thanks I'll look into it
bard is archer?
cool
dps is harder to fuck up than tanks and healers
your bow both shoots arrows and acts as a harp. do not question the practicality of the harpbow, just go with it 😛
good for first timer if you don’t quite know what you’re doing yet
okay i'll take archer then
is there any preference for which server to play on, or it's just a personal preference?
i'm playing this solo unfortunately
@gilded ravine are you starting as well?
alright then, i think i'll selected whatever then...hah
preferred servers have double exp under level 70 so it's a good choice
yup, just started, i'm currently playing from Hong Kong
try tonberry if you’re playing on elemental
oh no, i'm afraid i might get a lot of lags on an european server though
it has the biggest SEA population
okay
got it, mostly english speaking crowd i assume?
honestly, i don't mind NA as well, as i do get decent pings on NA server
yeah, a lot of australian players there too
but mainly timezones will help a lot
true
since i play on NA from australia and queues get pretty dead past a certain hour
ahh, got it
ah! I did not think of that
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
good luck 
good luck
Hey everyone
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
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..
@manic rune yes I did that
for most fishing holes every fish has a set "pull time", like fish A will hook after 6s, fish B after 9s, fish C after 13s etc, but once you get a hook the fish you'll get is already decided
materia has a chance of being a grade higher, and no more

hmm, try exiting and relaunching ACT. if it still doesn’t work, try asking the ACT server
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"?
checked pinned for resources
yep
@manic rune got it work, thanks for help. these plugins will definitely improve game experience 😄
oh? newest eden needs only 485 IL to enter? the non-savage ones. 
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
you’d only need 510 if you’re doing savage pretty sure
Can I do all professions, like minner or goldsmith at the same time?
it seems like it yeah.
yes, you can level all classes at the same time
especially for gathers and crafters, since they share gear
And what does it gives?
if you do them one by one your inventory will get super full with different levels of gear
uhh
the ability to craft items
Should I go to main missions or doing at the same time that kind of missions
crafting/gathering is entirely optional
and you get to mend your own gear
and general recommendation is to do it once you're max level since its usually easier to level them then
yeah, focus on your main scenario quest and your combat class
you'll have gil from the main scenario quest, easier time unlocking the various ways of leveling them, and have teleports, etc unlocked
teleports/flying make alot of diffrence when doing those, especially gatherers i feel. lol
Which diadem mobs drop electrum ore?
is there a simple UI plugin that's update, similar to this one https://github.com/rien-doll/minimal-ui ?
that's up to date*
i assume those eden drops like armor of lost antiquity and such are those weekly eden drops? 
ye, eden's promise is weekly locked
so you can get 1 token per floor
and 1 blade from e12n a week
doesnt that mean you need 7 weeks for a weapon from eden? 
Yes
dang
3ish
three weeks of tomes
since the roadblock is the tomes themselves
Yeah. But less time than Normal.
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
Honestly you can do just fine without the Savage weapon
i've seen you can get 515 from the uhh, newest extreme?
EmEx weapon is also good, yes.
yes
So if you had a complete lvl530 set, what do you do with it?
show it off
thanks for explaining.
Stick it in your glamour dresser after you're done with it?
get better parses/do next ultimate
Flex...do parse runs
Pretty much once you get the best gear ur kinda done
Which diadem mobs drop electrum ore?
full 530 set is basically an achievement of its own
there aren’t many mob drop guides for <80 gatherers because the drops sync with level and most people won’t be able to check if their miner is at 80
try asking in diadem
Kk!
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
Do you still get a little more xp if you do a dungeon through roulette if you already got the reward for the day ?
No
fair enough
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
oof
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
hi!!!, whats the best new method to farm for Gatherers yellow scripts?
so I uhhh ran out of inventory space on my retainers and got another one, how do I actually get it?
the retainer vocate?
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
You should be able to, yes.
The memories are inventory items, and they carry over between weapons.
yes can also farm with ast only need to have the quest for them to drop
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.
I use this site since Garland Bell hasn't updated yet https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/50.php You can click on the yellow scrip items to select (turns the text red) and click the Watching tab to show only those.

Hello guys, do you know the difference between sharp vision and clear vision as a miner? Both cost 50GP
Combat macros are virtually pointless in this game right?
ohh okay so which one should I choose usually? (I just started I'm lvl 25 miner rn)
In 99.9% of situations. Macros are rarely the answer for combat
Usually sharp
Yes, broadly due to the fact they're awful in functionality and quite bad to respond
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:

it is however sometimes useful for using off-globals you have to place with a targeter
Alt question UI: So i made a new alts, is there a way I can transfer my UI from my main to my alt? Or I have to re-set my ui up?
was Unearth and Unearth II changed recently? or am i just going crazy
Can do it on pc. Go to my documents > my games > ffxiv and look for the specific character log that belongs to your main
And copy it to the alt
tyty @little swift
Do I get the cost of my plot reimbursed if I transfer data centres?
You have to manually give it up to transfer
So no
Only way to get the money back is to let it auto demolish
Where you'll get 80%
is there a way to make a your chat channel input to be free company by default?
Hello, are the new glamour coffers from the ishgardian project for all jobs?
Yes
the fiend coffers are still class specific
So.. let's say.. the MIN set can only be worn if your job is miner?
correct
Ah
Exactly

does FFXIV have dailies or weeklies?
yes
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.
But all of it is optional you're never obligated to do them
as a free trial can i party with other free tirals?
Trial players cannot create parties or invite to them, but a sub player can invite trial players to group them up.
where do i get gear for lv76?
Qitana ravel
as a free trial character what can i do with other free trial characters
!faq freetrial
See limitations
@hearty crest free trial is basically MMORPG without the MMO and have a bunch of inconvenient caps
in short its a free RPG that has bad story until like 30 hours in
You can que for stuff
theres a queue
You just cant make parties yourself
so RNG queue?
Yes
Duty finder will automatically match you up with whoever. You just don't get to pick who.
or talk right?
lower currency cap
basically mute?
you can talk, but only if youre in party
You can use Say, party, alliance, Linkshells and novice network chat
basically you cant use global chat or dm people
Im asuming nobody is using duty finder to enter savage Alexander instances?
also you can't join free companies
which are basically what other games call guilds
Nope
Extremes and savages are never qued for
Any of them
..I once managed to get a rathalos ex queue to pop after like 4 hours of queuing.
@toxic ridge how did that turn out?
Unsync in duty finder?
how many wipes until someone quits
Okay
We actually cleared it surprisingly, I was dumb and new and didn't know about Pf
jesus
Rath EX is barely difficult
Im guessing firs5 alexander raid is easiest on savage
actually yeah you guys dont have communication issues
us australians get thrown into same servers as the japs
main issue is being stunlocked, instakills you whilst synced
the translation thing barely works
I hate the stunlock. Really gives that authentic Monster Hunter feeling
Well that was too easy
the other irritating thing is rath hitting a kansai drifto and talon raking you from across the whole arena
with job changes, retuning, retuning for the sake of BLU, and the fact it's boss 1? probably
Did eyes creator
Thats a derogatory term for Japanese people careful of its usage
oh, a9. i guess you did it unsynced for anima?
Please either use jp players or use the full word
A9s has like 1 mechanic to be wary of
And its the exact same as normal
You skip everything with enough dps
i assume this is unsync for light so the fight dies without doing literally anything
How much of alexander savage is soloable? Im watching a streamer solo soul of the creator and i was wondering if other alexander savage raids have mechanics needing multiple people
That's like calling people from Pakistan pakis, just don't
do i need to change class to arcanist to become a white mage? im currently level 30 cnj
no
cnj becomes whm through job quests at level 30
@jaunty mason
arcanist leads into summoner/scholar the same way
8s has gaols you have to deal with unsure if its possible to solo as a result
4 and 8 are impossible
Ty!
how come it still says cnj? i already finished the cnj level30 quest
Equip the soul stone
have you completed the main scenario quest "Sylph Management"?
Get a soul stone
!faq job
And equip it
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
So...the next raid will be tougher than this right?
the last quest i just finished is "in nature's embrace"
there should be another
in the conjurer's guild that will unlock white mage
Afaik that was the last raid
Until the next expansion
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)
there nothing there
Lord of the inferno...
You need more story progress
you're not far enough in MSQ
i just finished the unicorn quest
aahhh
yes, so they are not far enough in the msq to unlock their job quest
msq should also be level 30?
Slpyh management
It's a 20 iirc
sylph management is lvl 20
just checked, you're 4 quests away
i think sylph management is after u fight ifrit (which is the current quest they are on)
no its not
so just keep trucking on msq
its 4 quests, like turbo said
oh msq right now is lord of the inferno
yeah do that
spoiler for quest names
then do more
until you reach Sylph-Management
once you do that go back to the conjurer's guild and you'll see the
for white mage
thansk alot!
was gonna take arcanist quest coz of google 😅
yeah there are duplicate quests for each GC in that list
company you keep (gc name) + for coin country/til sea swallows all/wood's will be done
you will never need to do other classes to unlock a job for a specific class
What is this 1.0?
2.0 had that too
It was very bad
well.. i didnt notice the reply was 6 years ago in reddit 😅
yeah that will do it 😅
canonically it takes place before the current game
'fond' memories of needing 15 levels of MRD and 5 levels of PUG to unlock DRG
no issues here
having to level other classes to unlock jobs was something they removed almost 4 years ago if your curious lol. i believe it was removed during stormblood at some time
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?
I am having issues doing level 60 weaving ._.
Specifically the level 60 skybuilder's broom

when exactly does the lodestone ishgard rankings reset
rankings update every hour
Same as daily 4am est
They don't update on site every hour kael
was looking at the wrong page @_@
what's world progress
how far each world as progress the stages
isn't every world the same?
For the reconstruction, no
each world's progress is different because its based on participation
oh different stages, but same phase, gotcha
With those stats you should be fine
there's macros for 80 crafts
Lead with muscle memory
even scrip gear is enough
It's a 60 craft
Thats not an 80 craft
oh wew
You may be doing something wrong with your rotation if you're running out of durability before finishing.
The issue is that you need at least 300 quality
Do you use inner quiet at all
What are your base stats like
Base stats?
Yah unbuffed stats
what rotation are you using? is it from here? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vgtU7HFtG87TrJ9U47vnzkFMhSl5HKz7bjJhRXbxaas/preview?pru=AAABdyY6iCA*FKpI64eUjyH0tiX2FhdqdQ#

Yes
you dont have enough cp looks like
Those only work if you use the food to make the breakpoint
The pieces are melded as well
What food
What is the purpose of these Stone sky dummies?
It says in there
They dont even show anything..just time
the level 60 rotation requires 622/643/430. craftsmanship/control/cp
!faq sss
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- 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
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
make sure you meet those stat points before using the rotation
oh wait
Rotation practice. They're intended as a check to see if you do enough damage to clear a fight but they're tuned badly so it's kot representative
I see. So stay away
it aint the best tool, but its still very useful
Basically, if you can kill a SSS dummy in the timer, you're theoretically qualified to clear the relevant content
They reset your cooldowns so its good to practice your openers with them
food
What food
Yea i tried it with both smn and rdm. They are too easy to kill
crafter food gives a ton of cp
Where can I get it
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
I'm pretty sure the cp amount they have now is almost enough anyways currently
Cp food won't give 100 cp
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
You aren't
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
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?
Just change how you rotate
eat some crafter food and adjust the rotation a bit, and you should be fine
take out some touches here and there
what problem exactly are you having registering
i get Error Code: i2501
Give me like 5 minutes@frozen girder ill help you out in a sec
Idk anything about crafting
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.
I really just want to get a crafter to level 80 and learn endgame crafting ._.
Yeah it doesn't make any sense I'm not using a VPN i'm on my PC. Someone said it's steam related : /
its not
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?
Learn starting now. Crafting is like combat you can't just skip to the end and expect it to be easier
Can you get reported for saying the f word even if the game censors it?
something is tripping their system into thinking there's an error
well, you cant learn endgame crafting without learning leveling crafting. its the same as any combat job.
I've been reading every skill
No
try the first two suggestions, see if that does anything
yeah i'll try thanks kael
Well I mean someone can report you but the mods probably won't do anything
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 :\
You can even turn off the profanity filter
@frozen girder https://ffxivteamcraft.com/simulator/29808/33729/JrrQxwBo2jCswMlMk1eC i highly recommend using this website. plug in your stats and adjust the rotation, taking things out until you meet the cp required. it also has inputs for food and will account for that as well
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
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
OOOOOHHH I wonder if I was logging into the steam website using my other steam account I have two....
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
Remove my character?
nnope that wasn't it
Game still thinks youre logged in due to dc
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
Yeah, but when i tried to open the launcher it says a connection error has occurred. please try again later
your internet connection as a whole may be fine, but the connection to the ffxiv servers for you may not
oh
its possible that a node that your internet takes to connect to the server is down or something
In Onhai Hakair, is it possible for an oovoo to switch hands once claimed?
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 😦
@frozen girder whats the minimum collectability theyll accept? I don't remember off the top of my head
Should i do something or wait?
300
this should be fine yes?
i made the macro under the assumption you don't have manipulation
/ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.2>

gives you 500 collectability
@frozen girder
far from optimal but it works
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?
@gritty oracle no
wn2?
waste not 2
wait you're inputting fully buffed stats
i don't think you have 1300 control @frozen girder
i was wondering why my input of your rotation attempt wasn't lining up
Either way
you get about 4k that way
Yah
my rotation is a tad higher
do this instead
hits the minimum
/ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not II" <wait.2>
/ac Innovation <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>

/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.1>```
@frozen girder
also remember if you have cp left over, you can put that into buffs
no reason to if its not going to make a difference in the collectible reward
Sorry to ask again, but should i wait until it connects or do something?
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?
how is WoW end game compare to FFXIV's endgame
The duty finder will tell you on the page when you select the duty
gochu, thanks!
in terms of direct comparison to amount of content, xiv has much less per expansion. each expansion we get 3 raid tiers with 4 bosses each (12 total), about 7 extreme bosses, and 2 ultimate fights
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
Yeah, it's something about my internet for sure
Other pages not related to ffxiv are having the same problems
Thanks for answering
in the kicking the hornets main story quest, how do i make my character say "face me" to draw agro?
You type /say "face me"
in the general chat?
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
For tanks yep
This isnt a normal thing youll do outside of quests. Its just more interactive i guess
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.
The priority missions need all 3 stats met
I'm just running random level 20 dungeons but even at level 26-30 they can't do it
Sorry for the dumb question, but any of you has an idea of what chest piece that is ? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/795688944213819395/799356459782766592/402a5b2b-b4d7-4a0e-9fa4-8a140fe43cca_rw_1920.png?width=676&height=676
Many thanks
Oh no
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
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?
I think you can only see it on the System Config menu for PC.
Yes you need to cap out the points
oh i see it now TY
Thanks
