does it cost anything?

glacial isle
#

some gil IIRC

whole wasp
#

2000 gil

full latch
#

so it's asking date of birth on my character. does anything of this characters age matter?

shrewd owl
#

Nope

#

It’s flavour stuff

full latch
#

ah. I have zero clue of this fifth astral moon stuff

shrewd owl
#

yeah theyre just the months

glacial isle
#

its the months

full latch
#

what about deity?

glacial isle
#

also flavor

granite hound
#

It's like zodiac sign

#

purely cosmetic

glacial isle
#

If you’re crafting gear for glamour, making it HQ is just cosmetic right?

full latch
#

apparently my diety actually affects elemental resistance

shrewd owl
#

Not that it matters

#

None of the starting stats matter now

elemental resistance has been removed

#

Is there any substantial difference between Light and Chaos?

granite hound

These are the data centers

They host different worlds you can join

Oh boi I can’t wait to run Final Coil turn 1, 5000 times just for those rare items

patent citrus
#

doubt it's pride either 😂 it's just that you can craft low level stuff super easy as lv 80

glacial isle
#

I’m lvl 60

patent citrus
#

doesn't even need to know a rotation

#

then you must look for a rotation ^.^

glacial isle
#

And I have to get all the mats myself

patent citrus
#

either way hq glamour doesn't matter hehe

error code i2501 when trying to make an account?

obsidian patio
#

Pretty general error with no clear solution.

General things that solve it is a better/stable/not-public internet connection, not using a VPN (though using it can sometimes help), and using other browsers or using mobile

raven granite
#

dang okay i would try on mobile or another browser but idk how to get back to the page where i can enter the confirmation code

#

i had a problem with a confirmation code earlier this morning too but now i was trying again

#

with a different email

elfin edge
#

yeah I had the same problem; ended up using a different email and only using my phone to access it

full heron
#

For making gil, should I lvl mining, botanist or culinarian? culinarian seems fun but don't wanna lvl it first if it's just a gil sink

warped nest
#

Mining/Botanist

whole wasp
#

leveling crafters are a gil sink until you maxed them and make latest stuff. Even then, you prob need to max all of them since recipes often require stuff made by other crafters. (except maybe CUL since they are very self-contained)

#

For gatherers, either mining or botanist is fine but you still need to max them

warped nest
#

For example: to make a weapon, you might need metal from blacksmith, gemstone from goldsmith, and glue from alchemist

whole wasp
#

CUL mostly needs stuff from gatherers and also fish/seafood

When do you lose your sproutness?

hot eagle
#

at the end of stormblood and 168h playtime iirc

slate arrow
#

168 hours of /playtime + finished 4.56

#

(aka, just beginning Shadowbringers)

granite hound
#

Oh well that's interesting

hazy shadow
#

If you bought a slip you'll still be considered a sprout I believe until after you finish the msq or fulfill the playtime hours. Not sure which exactly it is

timid geyser
#

slip!

#

if you bought a skip you must fulfil the playtime

open rivet
timid geyser
#

Yeah but by the time you reach mentor status you'll probably have the 168h playtime

open rivet
#

yes but you can easily reach trade mentor before finishing hw

#

so it's worth noting that it's an alternate way of losing the new adventurer status

little swift
#

Can also use the command /nastatus off

#

But why remove your get out of jail free card

south roost
#

I'm lv72 and want to hit lv80 before doing shadowbringers story. What's the best way to do that?

little swift
#

Your roulettes

open rivet
#

roulette bonus should give you 2 lv ups a day (if prae is gotten in msq)

little swift
#

Since shb friendly methods of leveling will be locked to you

little swift
#

Praetorium

open rivet

The Praetorium

timid geyser
#

Second level 50 dungeon

little swift
#

One of the 2 8man dungeons you can get in the game from msq roulette

granite hound
#

The meme one

south roost
#

So spam msq roulette?

timid geyser
#

monologueland

#

no

open rivet
#

no, just do each roulette once a day

little swift
#

Doing msq roulette, alliance raid roulette, leveling, Frontline every day will net you a lot of exp

#

Those are the big exp ones

#

Also turn in your wondrous tails once a week for half a level

open rivet
#

finish your challenge log each week as well as khloe's wondrous tails book,
those 2 are a massive boost as well

south roost
#

Alright, ty^^ I'll do all those now

granite hound

Good luck!

Hey! I just bought the game's Complete pack on the square-enix-game.com website. I activated the key, and it led me to log in with my square enix account through the FFXIV launcher. When I put my Square Enix ID and Password on it, it tells me that it is incorrect when i know for a fact is is exactly the one i put. I also did some prior research to figure out this problem. Many people online said that there are two accounts that you have to make, one from the square-enix-games.com website(this one i can log into fine, and I paid for the game already). The other is from the ff14 mog station. I made an account here too on multiple emails. Everytime I try to log in afterwards, it says that it is wrong. Any help? I don't want to waste my money.

robust sail
#

Does bozjan even give global exp?

obsidian patio
obsidian patio
full latch
#

is there an easier way to move huds? Like I want my experience bar to move above but not use my mouse because it will go left and right and be unbalanced

robust sail
obsidian patio
#

IIRC, when you target a hud element you can use the arrow keys+shift or control to move stuff on a grid

#

Bozja is basically the equivalent of POTD/HOH for Shadowbringers. Good if you have long dungeon queues

robust sail
#

Ok

obsidian patio
#

Though if you’re actively working on resistance weapons then it’s good to do since you’re getting multiple things done

full latch
obsidian patio
#

Apologies, it’s just dragging the hud element with the mouse, but with holding down shift

#

That makes it snap to the grid

full latch
#

oh yeah I see it now. thank you!

obsidian patio
#

As for why the accounts you’re making on the mogstation can’t log in, I can’t say for sure. :/

haughty tangle
#

Yeah i know that they're two seperate accounts and the prior one is used just for the activation key, but yeah. The mog station isn't working

full latch
#

is there any way to pick more than one?

haughty tangle
#

it just repeatedly says ID or password is incorrect even though i just made the account, confirmed it, it even gives me the ID in my confirmation email. But it still says incorrect id or password

obsidian patio
#

Unless you can click-drag to select multiple things, then no.

dreamy tartan
#

how do i start melding?

full heron
whole wasp
#

yup

#

the gathering gear required to get the latest and thus profitable materials also require gil unless you craft them yourself which also requires gil

haughty tangle
#

i got it to work, for the people who are on here answering questions, if u ever see someone have this problem again. Tell them this: the reason why the login for the mog station keeps telling you incorrect id or pass, it is because the website is really bad and it doesn't create ur account for awhile. It finally worked after like 2 hours. Then once ur inside of the mog station and it gives you an error i5201 when putting in the activation key. That is also because the website is trash. The fix to that is putting in the key through your phone. This will work, and everything else should work. I did go into another small error afterwards where the launcher told me "Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.

Please log in using a Square Enix account that has not registered a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account. " The fix to that is by going into the .cfg in the FFXIV folder and changing StartupCompleted 0 to StartupCompleted 1. Hope i helped a fellow soldier.

#

hi guys i have a question for eureka weapon if i upgrade anemos to pagos..do i lost the anemos one? i want to keep all for glamour

timid geyser
#

Yes, you lose the previous version

#

But you should be able to get a glamour version or shit like that

inland topaz
#

oh i see

#

thanks Kiyomi

sullen lark
#

What's the command for a macro to cancel a running macro?

timid geyser
#

@inland topaz Staelhundr - Kugane (X:7.8 Y:14.1) to get a replica of your anemos weapon

inland topaz
#

thank you very much

full latch
#

So in this game and other mmos you play with the mouse on the screen. is there a way to make the game do it the other way around? like when I want to click on something in the screen I press my right mouse button to see my mouse?

#

basically I like to move my mouse to look around

whole wasp
#

There is also now a dedicated stop macro button in the keybinding settings.

#

Dont necessaerily have to use a macro to stop another macro anymore.

#

lv 36 msq, want to level crafter, but run out of leves

#

beside leves and crafting log, what do people use before ishgard restoration?

whole wasp
#

ixal beast tribe quest

simple shore
#

Best waiting until Ishgard tho

whole wasp
#

you gotta complete the lvl 42 msq though

#

to unlock ixal

patent citrus
#

ah i see that in my menu I think hmm, i'll give that try out

#

ty ty

#

wanted to experience it another way hehe, i experienced ishgard

#

I see, so just wait for leves i guess

#

ty ty

#

is BLM the class that requires most planning out of all others?

#

hmm the question is a bit vague

agile laurel
#

not really no

patent citrus
#

but which class requires deep knowledge of the fight to plan out everything beforehand

agile laurel
#

blm is like samurai, you can map out a short rotation and do it til hell freezes over

simple shore
#

I'd argue it requires the best knowledge of the fight. But its rotation is actually very easy.

agile laurel
#

however unlike samurai you're more likely to be stopped by mechanics

patent citrus
#

yeah in the context of knowledge of the fight

agile laurel
#

so if you're minmaxing, yes blm really needs to know the fight movement

#

i'd say if you have a competent grasp of blm in general it's hard to outright crash the rotation due to having to do mechanics, but you certainly lose a bit sometimes

patent citrus
#

that was really random question, hehe

#

ok ty ty

agile laurel
#

in order of 'casters impacted by movement' it's gotta be blm rdm smn

#

ranged physical have no problems, possibly besides dnc not being able to reach melee range for its flourishes

patent citrus
#

ah right this is my problem, i haven't tried other caster yet

warped nest
#

I would like to point out that despite their dualcast trait, rdm actually has very low amount of continuous movement time outside of their melee combo

agile laurel
#

Yes. RDM's amount of hardcasts is deceptively high

patent citrus
#

oh right, rdm might be tricky too cause of the melee combo hmm

warped nest
#

BLM can line things up to gain a good long window of free movement if they really need one

agile laurel
#

Especially compared to smn which, if necessary, can just use egi assault and ruin 2/4 to skate across the entire stage

#

blm is tricky because saving triplecast for movement is crippling, so you don't want to do it without an INCREDIBLY good reason

#

and often 'because i need to move here' is not a good enough reason

warped nest
#

But it is there if you really need one

patent citrus
#

i think you knew the word for it, hehe. Do other caster/healer have that kind of restriction where you can't skate around.

#

as melee i know you can, since no cast time

drowsy stag
#

i think i am doing something wrong in Ishgard Restoration.. i delivered at least a hundred LTW crafted itens but I don't have a single LTW score. Can anyone help? y_y

agile laurel
#

whm doesn't really have much

patent citrus
#

I think it takes 24 hours to update the ranking hmm

#

i'm not sure myself, maybe other can help

#

I see yeah, maybe I should look from different perspective since i'm leveling both whm and blm now hehe

#

ok ty ty

agile laurel
#

of course, movement questions for healers are reserved for when you've got comfortable enough to settle into glare monke

drowsy stag
#

since the website said it would update each day at 1am (PST) i thought what i did yesterday would be there already... but you can be right

patent citrus
#

i mean in some way, melee need to also plan their dodge so they can maximise their burst window

#

but I think caster have it in different way

marble drift
#

basically

#

melee need to minimize time spent away from the boss whenever possible

patent citrus
#

@drowsy stag which recipe did you do? the highest one?

marble drift
#

casters just want to minimize movement in general.

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty ^.^

drowsy stag
patent citrus
#

idk if a recipe around that level gives ranking tbh...

#

afaik you gotta score the lv 70+, but not sure...

drowsy stag
#

this is so unfair if it is how it works 😦

patent citrus
#

cause i level'd my weaver to 80 last ishgard restoration, didn't get any point..

#

that's lv 20-80..

#

but my memory is vague in this context, i might remember it wrongly

drowsy stag
#

this is really a pain then.. to not reward new players or leveling players

patent citrus
#

ishgard ranking is very high end stuffs, hehe

#

even if you are pentamelded, you'll barely made it out 100th

#

well depends on the server I guess

drowsy stag
#

I see

#

well.. will focus on leveling all classes then

hot eagle
#

the ranking and expert/artisan crafts are more a challenge for the lvl80 that don't have much else left to do as crafter

cobalt mason
#

Do you get lower ranking points for DoL ishgard restoration if you turn in mats that are below lvl 80 compared to lvl 80 mats?

#

I'm currently rank 200 as botanist so I might go for it

drowsy stag
#

i dont think so Sill

#

my miner rank is higher than botanist and i havent touch a single node.. all i donated was drops from monsters

patent citrus
#

for gathering you'll get a few point for gathering non 2 star materials

obsidian patio
patent citrus
#

i've tested this, the case is different to the crafter one

obsidian patio
#

And those can easily be done with facet gear or white scrip stuff

cobalt mason
#

Ohh I've been gathering lvl 60 mats since lvl 80 mats only has 40% success rate

hot eagle
patent citrus
#

I see 🤔

obsidian patio
#

Top 100 gatherer definitely requires a bit more effort and sacrificing profit for points

cobalt mason
#

Ahh I see

obsidian patio
#

Since sometimes the plain 80 stuff sells higher than the artisanal stuff

halcyon radish
#

is there a way to disable auto renewal without flat out cancelling my subscription every time I resub?

#

google isn't helping with its 5 year old forum answers

patent citrus
#

hmm isn't that what you wanted to do? to stop the sub

magic light
#

would be nice to know

#

so, I've been using crysta

open rivet
#

cancel subscription, you should have the option to just "top up" gametime

patent citrus
#

stop sub means no auto-renewal lol

jovial tide
#

Is there a better way to time equilibrium so that your healer doesn't slap a heal on you at the same time?

patent citrus
#

if you want no auto-renewal you gotta buy game time

magic light
#

once my sub expires, it gets an error as there's no crysta for it to take from

jovial tide
#

So normally I have an idea of what a crit equilibrium will give me, so I wait until I can maximize it, which is ~70% ish of my HP and downwards

#

But I can't count the number of times when I use it and see a heal or two slapped on me at the same time from the healer

#

Just feels wasted

halcyon radish
#

I read that as a solution on the forums.
but no, I want to turn off auto-renewal without cancelling it- cancelling it means I have to put the card information in again and then go in and cancel it after I pay for it again every month (and it ate my $15 once and took my game time so I'm afraid of this)

magic light
#

planning for it with your healer is suggested, otherwise, predict it

#

well, not sure what kind of solution you're after.
I use credit/debit card, buy crysta, spend crysta on sub.

patent citrus
#

really doubt it ate the $15

magic light
#

game tries to auto renew, but fails because i have 0 crysta already

patent citrus
#

cause i did cancel my sub multiple time and had to enter the credit card details all over again

#

all i lost was the 1 euro sub fee which they will return later

magic light
#

1 euro sub fee?

twilit arch
#

its a test charge

halcyon radish
#

No cus I paid it and then cancelled it, and then it made me pay for it again because it took away my game time when I hit cancel iirc

patent citrus
#

i may not name it correctly, hmm

#

yeah that's it

twilit arch
#

if you had paid for it, it wouldn't take away game time

halcyon radish
#

basically "eating my $15"

patent citrus
#

that's impossible 🤔

magic light
halcyon radish
#

then idk

twilit arch
#

once you've paid for your sub, canceling doesn't remove time

halcyon radish
#

Nono this was a while ago

#

so i'm not worried about it

#

I'll just cancel it, maybe i'll try the crysta thing

twilit arch
#

but basically cancel sub and crysta are really your only two option to not auto renew

halcyon radish
#

i wish I could just turn it off but leave my stuff in there like most other subscription based things have

hearty rover
#

will they add more crafted gear before the next expansion or exarch is the last?

twilit arch
#

exarchic is the last set of combat crafted gear

hearty rover
#

ah thanks!

halcyon radish
#

it's not worded very well nor are a lot of things on mog station

obsidian patio
#

That’s for extra retainers

halcyon radish
#

Ohh

I thought that might be it.

twilit iron
#

I’m a new player and I just want to get onto the same server as some friends, anyone know how long it can take for a server to start accepting new characters again?

twilit arch
#

usual recommendation is to wait for late night/early morning

#

since the temporary character creation lock is based on how many people are currently logged in

twilit iron
#

Ye okay, guess I gotta be patient

#

Ty

twilit arch
#

yes free stance means they use whatever abilities they have learned

#

in general, healer is the best tree for your chocobo since its generally the most useful

#

you can put points into attack after choco cure if you want to, but for most people going full healer at the start can be better

#

attack is generally 2nd best with tank being pretty...meh

#

so its not recommend to get at all until you've finished the other two trees

warped nest
#

You are better at tanking and dealing damage compared to the chocobo anyway no matter what Job you have

mint ferry
#

Whats the difference between the normal Ironwork raid gear and the Augmented Ironwork raid gear?

warped nest
#

Normal ironwork is i120, so it has slightly weaker stat

mint ferry
#

ie the normal gear you buy with allagen tombstones at mor dhona and the augmented stuff you can get at the sundry

warped nest
#

And cannot be dyed

mint ferry
#

aaaah, I see

#

does the augmented stuff cost more tombstones?

warped nest
#

No

#

Normal just don't exist anymore

twilit arch
#

you can't buy unagumented ironworks anymore

warped nest
#

Augmented is what you get off the NPC

mint ferry
#

ah, perfect

#

Is there a weekly/daily limit on the amount of raids you can run?

green grail
#

only the most recent level 80 ones

warped nest
#

But to answer your question: you get items and trade it with you normal ironwork to get augmented version

#

For QoL improvement, SE just let everyone get augmented version directly

green grail
#

right now only eden's promise normal and savage have weekly lockouts

mint ferry
#

Wow, that's rad

#

not just to the lockout, but to the qol for the gear

#

I'm a wow convert

#

and that's like, way better than wow lmao

green grail
#

also it's not a limit on running the raids ig, just the loot you can get

mint ferry
#

Oh, so would I get the same amount of tombstones every time?

warped nest
#

The lock out applies to chest drop

#

Not tomestone

#

To be specific

#

Normal raid lock you out for the week once you claimed one loot, this is done per floor

mint ferry
#

aaah, I see

warped nest
#

Savage raid loot lock out is a tad more complicated

mint ferry
#

I also misunderstood myself, I just did castrum meridianum and the praetorium and thought those were raids, 'cus they have more than the normal amount of people I was used to

warped nest
#

These two are very unique

#

In that they are the only two 8-players dungeon

#

They are unfortunately not very well received by the community for various reasons

#

To roughly give you an idea on what's what, we have dungeons, trials, raid, and alliance raids

#

Some dungeons have Hard, but they are more like remix than just a direct difficulty bump

mint ferry
#

aaah, gotcha

#

ty for the info! :>

#

I saw there was a Monster Hunter crossover, I looked it up and the mount drops from the savage difficulty, yeah?

#

Is there a lockout on that?

#

'cus I need that mount lol

oak ice
#

Ex Rathalos is permanent

warped nest
#

Trials have normal and extreme, extreme are a tad harder and people don't use duty finder for them.

oak ice
#

And there's no limit whatsoever on extreme content

warped nest
#

Alliance raids are 24 players raid, they only have normal difficulty. Each expansion has one alliance raid series, with 3 raid per series

#

ARR: Crystal Tower (compulsory for story)
HW: Void Ark
SB: Return to Ivalice
ShB: Yorha Apocalypse (aka Nier Automata raid)

cedar compass
#

how many supply and delievery things can u do a day?

warped nest
#

Raids are 8 player content, each expansion has one raid series, with normal and Savage difficulty, ARR is unique in that their raid series is basically savage difficulty, but it isn't marked as one (ARR is very inconsistent). Raid series each have 3 tiers, and each tiers have 4 raids.

#

Oh, above all these, there are Ultimate trials. These are the hardest 8-player PvE content this game has to offer. There are three of them. They are basically a 10-15 minute long boss marathon with tough as nail mechanics to learn and practice

#

It can take weeks or months for a group to practice and clear these

mint ferry
#

oh that sounds rad

cedar compass
warped nest
#

Close enough

mint ferry
#

I'm genuinely amazed at how much this game values your time compared to WoW lol

#

Thanks for the info again!!

cedar compass
#

well its a different business model

#

wow is all about ENGAGEMENT

#

to a very bad point

#

where u need to no life

#

to keep current

mint ferry
#

yeah, the lifestyle/daily gear grind really got to me

#

esp. in shadowlands

wispy parcel
#

yea since XIV is a narrative based game, they needed to make sure new players weren't screwed from moment one

terse grail
#

the downside is that xiv ends up having less content to do than WoW. whether or not thats an issue just comes down to what your looking for in a game at the end of the day

#

but what xiv lacks in quantity, def makes up for with quality

mint ferry
#

mhm, I enjoyed mog hunting and stuff and I think I'll really enjoy that in xiv too

cedar compass
#

Glam is miles ahead of wow mog

#

Tho managing it is a pain

terse grail
#

pls yoshi p give us WoW's xmog system

mint ferry
#

I still don't fully understand how it functions

cedar compass
#

You obtain the gear

mint ferry
#

I know there's like, a dresser you put gear in? I'm used to the WoW collection system lol

cedar compass
#

Put it in a wardrobe

#

That has like

#

Limited slots

#

400? I think

#

And then you mix and match the pieces in plates

#

You can have like..m idk 8? Plates

#

And you can apply a plate to yourself

twilit arch
#

15 max plates

do you remember WoW's old transmog system where you had to keep the items, then go to the xmog npc to be able to apply the outfits? its very similar, except instead of going to an npc, you use these items called glamour prisms, which are consumables, to apply the appearances.

warped nest
#

There is enough plate for all combat Jobs that shared gear

#

But not the rest

terse grail
#

but theres also the glamour dresser, which other ppl are explaining rn

mint ferry
#

oooh shit that's actually kinda great

cedar compass
#

Well the dresses is much less of a pain

terse grail
#

its not bad, but def not even close to as good as what wow has

mint ferry
#

That's exactly what I wanted really, a clothing option for each job

cedar compass
#

Than doing glam piece by piece

terse grail
#

the collection system in wow is so nice

cedar compass
#

Yeah

#

I also wish the mounts were account bound

terse grail
#

but yea managing outfits with the glamour dresser, i think xiv does better than wow for sure

cedar compass
#

Not character bound

#

But I guess you have less reason to have alts

#

I have one to raid without static

mint ferry
#

What is a "static"? Like, a set raid group?

cedar compass
#

Yeah raids are only 8 ppl

#

So usually people don't raid with their FC (guild)

#

Also FCs are server limited

#

Whereas you can raid with anyone from your data center

mint ferry
#

aah, gotcha

terse grail
#

yea, this game doesnt require guilds to raid like in wow

#

bc all content is done across your entire data center

cedar compass
#

The only issue is loot lockout

#

So if you cleared a week

#

You can enter a raid but you make one chest go puff

#

You need 4 uncleared ppl for 1 chest

#

8 for 2

mint ferry
#

I see

#

What's the reset day?

#

I'd assume tuesday?

cedar compass
#

Tuesdays

mint ferry
#

Rad lol

#

that's what it is for like, everything

#

makes it a lot simpler lol

cedar compass
#

Well the weird thing is raid reset is earlier

#

Than roulette reset

#

It's 8am GMT

terse grail
#

another way to put it: weekly reset is earlier than daily reset*

Hello, is there any LFG site/discord to look for the players for Hard Mode Trials? I'm still progressing through the main story etc. and know i need to do the Ifrit Hard Mode and it take much more time to find a party than the regular one. Is it normal or i should look for the group some place outside the game?

patent citrus
#

hey @rain umbra have you tried enabling all language on your duty finder?

#

if not you can contact a mentor and ask to invite you to novice network

green grail
#

it's casual level 50 content that's in a duty finder roulette people queue for everyday

patent citrus
#

they usually help you there with queue

green grail
#

the queue should be nothing above average

#

15-20 mins for a dps

rain umbra
#

Ok, thank you. I will try to expand the language options.

#

I'm waiting 25 minutes now with the tank...

green grail
#

its like late noon on a work day for most of EU so there's not many people playing

#

it'll pop eventually, it's not content that requires grouping outside of the game or even in party finder

rain umbra

Yeah i know - home office rocks for me as i have not so much to do today 😄

How long does it usually take to receive purchased items?

west spruce
#

few mins

twilit arch
#

usually a few minutes, but certain items can take longer

#

also can take longer depending on how bogged the system is

#

Can use the "request delivery" button when talking to the mail moogle to try and speed things up, but ultimately just have to be patient

Fair enough, not used to non-instant delivery of items when you buy them ingame

lone zephyr
#

does desynth skill ever reset?

twilit arch
#

nope

#

since you can level them all now, there's no reason for them to reset

green grail
#

you can reset it manually with specific items i think but.. yeah why would you

lone zephyr
#

so its basically a permanent rate-up for rare mats?

twilit arch
#

no, the item is no longer available, vis

green grail
#

oh rip

lone zephyr
#

does it have a max?

twilit arch
#

its 530 now, i think?

green grail
#

it's 510 now but it increases with each patch as new items are made desynthable

twilit arch
#

right, 530 stuff cant be desynth'd yet

green grail
#

and it's always basically ilvl = reccomended desynth level

lone zephyr
#

eh what?

#

i think we are talking about different things

twilit arch
#

No, vis is right

#

Basically if an item is item level 430

green grail
#

like desynth of an i495 weapon = reccomended desynth level 495.00

twilit arch
#

that's the recommended desynth skill you should have to get the best rewards for it

#

So you can desynth it even if you aren't at the appropriate skill level

#

you're just not going to have the best chance of getting the rare rewards from that item

lone zephyr
#

oh i see

#

but for some reason the number rises after every desynth i do

twilit arch
#

you still get a bit of level when you're roughly around the same lvl as the item

#

But the bigger the gap, the small the exp you'll get from that item

#

until you dont get any exp from that item

#

so when i desynth a ilvl10 item and my desynthesis is 490

#

i get no xp from it

#

because there's a huge lvl difference

lone zephyr
#

I didn't get a single thing about how this works, but k

robust sail
#

I made this leveling method, is it good?

#

1 - 15: Hunting log, guildhests and Potd

15 - 50: Spam your latest RRB dungeon

50 - 51: Alliance roulette or MSQ roulette

51 - 60: Spam your latest HW dungeon

60 - 61: Do your rouletts

61 - 70: Spam HoH

70 - 71: Rouletts again or more HoH

71 - 80: Bozjan and tribe quests

twilit arch
#

the basic gist is, desynth items that are around your desynth level or higher than it

green raft
#

potd/hoh and dungeon spam are interchangeable it depends on your queue times

#

also you should always do roulettes

robust sail
#

You can do roulettes yeah. FC members pointed it out

green raft
#

yeah i just mean not just in the level ranges you mentioned

green grail
#

1-70 is basically roulettes/deep dungeons/highest dungeon/beast tribes

lone zephyr
#

Oh so I can still rise my desynth skill level? even if the item is lower? I honestly just want to know the limit of the skill thingy

twilit arch
#

you will get some points for items are low

#

but they will be pretty low, and the item can't be signficantly lower than your desynth level

#

kind of like how if you're lvl 50 fighting lvl 10 mobs

#

you get no exp from those lvl 10 mobs because they're well below your lvl range

lone zephyr
#

I just want to have rare drop rate up tbh idgaf about how long it takes

turbid mural
#

I have my first crafter (cul) at lvl 70. Should I keep doing tradecraft quests or focus on ishgard restoration

twilit arch
#

if you wanna level desynth fast

#

@turbid mural if you still have leve allowances, i would focus on using those first assuming you can easily HQ the items requested

#

otherwise restoration is pretty easy/lazy way to level

turbid mural
#

Thanks

#

I forgotten does anyone know what the command is to copy cross hotbars are ?

#

oh lord. Any estimation how long that takes per class?

twilit arch
#

not sure on how long, but if you're already 20 in anemos, probably not too long?

#

correct gcd healing only @hollow wraith

That... kinda sucks. But thanks

Morning everyone. I have a quick question. Is there a way to keep the "sprout" and "flower" next to my name? I made it to Lv79 in about 2ish months. I still don't know what im doing but want people to know that I'm still new

twilit arch
#

the sprout icon is automatically removed when you have 168hrs played and complete the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes"

#

so there's no real way to keep that without not progressing msq

zenith iris
south roost
gritty oracle
#

Is there a big RP hub on Light like Omega is on Chaos?

twilit arch
#

basically just say at the beginning of a dungeon "Hey, i'm new and still learning!" but no, there's not really anything else to indicate visually you're a newbie still

#

you can buy it with the titan cobaltpiece or with gil @south roost

eager widget
south roost
#

Ah ok ty

worthy basin
robust sail
#

Ehhhh-

#

Ok

green raft
#

it's useful to do msq as soon as you hit 50 because if you get prae you get to level 52 real fast but other than that you can do the good roulettes (normal raid and 50/60/70 are sorta bad) every day regardless of your level
I think that if you're instant queue dungeon spamming it may not really matter that much whether you do roulettes or not but especially late in a level bracket the deep dungeons get kinda sluggish

I need halp crafting >_<

I don't remember half of those skills

#

But I can swear that you use at least some of them incorrectly

sullen lark
#

So if you click craft but don't execute any actions, and you press "Quit", is it 100% not going to use up any materials?

twilit arch
#

yes

warped nest
#

For example, you used Waste Not at the very end of your craft

#

!action Waste Not

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Waste Not** : lvl 15 CRP (56 CP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces loss of durability by 50% for the next four steps.

Waste not should proceed 4 synthesis or touch action

hey! anyone here using samsung odyssey g9 display? I'm curious about performance, your settings and gpu

At level 77, I can swear you should have a skill that gives you 4 stack of Inner Quiet directly

frozen girder

the waste not is late because they're using prep touch which can't be used with waste not

#

i don't know much about what a good rota is don't get me wrong i just know how the skills interact lol

frozen girder

I fixed it XD

That's fair

Either here or the role lounge related to the job

@dusty canyon join a FC and ask if people are willing help and give pointers

If you're talking about just people to play with, your related recruitment channels

I hate sounding like a noob but what is FC

Don't worry about sounding confused

Just ask here

Which Materia is best for gatherers?

#

I assume GP?

manic flare

Gp to hit 800gp gathering to meet breakpoints and then dump the rest in perception

#

Thats how I approach it

manic flare
little swift
#

At least 11 hours snack. This could be a second or third devaluation based on what the initial price was

#

And how much it devaluates

manic flare

is there an upper bound for long a plot is on sale?

little swift
#

No

#

Its random

manic flare

so it can be days to weeks?

Usually isn't

Can be less than a day too

Yo guys, I just unlocked dirk knight but the quest that was supposed to unlock the level 30 didn't unlock it, is this a bug?

hi does anyone know a good way of moving FFXIV to a new drive without reinstalling? is it as simple as moving the folder in the steam apps/common folder?

agile laurel
#

Because yes, that should be all you need

#

it'll mess with your mods/shaders a bit but if that's not an issue then no problems

gritty oracle
#

Here

#

A lot of us are regulars

#

Like always here

#

Otherwise I'd join a beginner friendly FC

#

Or linkshell

agile laurel
#

(i know this is obviously not xiv but same point)

leaden ginkgo
#

Steam just installs the FFXIV launcher but does the launcher install the game in the same Steam folder?

#

I'm on Linux so I had to do some unconventional stuff lol

#

And also don't read enough

frozen girder
#

That'd be a very large launcher

#

XD

strange coral
#

The move function in Steam only moves the files that Steam knows about by my understanding. So it might not move files downloaded by the launcher

agile laurel
#

i don't play XIV on steam so i can't say with confidence

frozen girder
#

it moves the entire folder that it installs

#

That includes anything you added to the folder

#

So yes

#

It should move all of FFXIV

you don't have the primal role

#

so you can't access primal's recruitment channel

#

#

I thought that was a recruitment channel for Primals ._.

#

It's early- I can't think

#

Can you make 6 deliveries per vender per week?

#

Or is it 12 total

robust notch
#

Yep, 6 per vendor, 12 per week

frozen girder
#

Aw

robust notch
#

So 6 to one person, 6 to another person

frozen girder
#

So I'm all done with mine :(

#

So close yet so far

#

Why is my Botanist leveling so much slower than my Miner

robust notch
#

You could always to regular collectables

#

Gives a ton of exp

frozen girder
#

Like.. the custom deliveries for my Botanist gave me 2.7m EXP, while my Miner gave me 12.8m EXP at that level

spring tendon
#

Does anybody still have interest in farming HW content? I mean I assume not cause it's been out for so long plus Post Shadowbringer and now the Ishgardian Restoration

strange coral
#

People still do it from time to time. Prime time hours for your region are the best times to try to get groups for it.

spring tendon
#

What times are those?

robust notch
#

When people are home

faint flare

There's occasionally bird and glamour farms here and there

robust notch

Just throw up PF and grab a few people, dont need many

How do I do party finder?

10 kills for a weapon, 99 totems for the mount if your luck is that bad

Although the 2 newest primal mounts can't be bought

Which in this case are seat of sacrifice and emerald

You can, however, purchase an apartment which has no such time lock on it.

Also it's 1/10 the price

So I'm aware that the 14 hour stream is postponed and they'll still do a live letter in Feb. Is that the Feb announcement they were on about?? I thought it would be like an online (mini) Blizzcon paid event - hyping up 5.5, 6.0 and any other 14 related stuff.

faint flare
#

Its just announcement stuff

#

That they're leaving up

#

SE usually always does a 14 hour live stream once a year for fun and messing around, occasionally talking about stuff

unborn light
#

Fair enough. I don't know why I kinda assumed it was like an online blizzcon with exclusive items as well as the trailer and announcements

#

@faint flare fank' you

faint flare
#

All that's left is 45 minutes of probably expansion reveal stuff

#

Probably trailer, job teases and stuff

#

Due to fanfests being cancelled and all

unborn light
#

Can't wait for that 🥳

wheat plume
#

for lvl 60 AST, is it mandatory to do Lightspeed ALL THE TIME, with malefic II and weaving heals/cards?

forest sage
#

you can weave without lightspeed

wheat plume
#
  1. How can I weave without lightspeed it otherwise Malefic II has casting time?
  2. If I don't use Lightspeed all the time, doing it perfectly with weaves, am I a wipe cause in EX and savages at lvl 60?
proper bobcat
#

Is there a recommended crafter job to start out with or could I just start with any of them? I'm mainly looking at repairing gear and pentamelding

forest sage
#

malefic has a shorter cast time than recast

faint flare
#

Malefics cast time is 1.5s

forest sage
#

so you can weave after it regardless

faint flare
#

You can weave 1 thing

#

Malefic > draw > Malefic > play

forest sage
#

and no you're not wiping because you don't play perfectly,, you wipe because you mess up mechanics, generally

wheat plume
forest sage
#

if you get to enrage without too many deaths and don't make it, then you look into improving your gameplay

#

I mean you should look into improving regardless

#

but you don't need anwyhere perfect play for EX, and even for savage there's some leeway

wheat plume
faint flare
#

Lightspeed is primarily for healing on the move

warm snow
#

Be aware that there is a sizeable difficulty increase between EXs and savages

forest sage
#

not really but you can check balance for AST guide and learn when you're supposed to lightspeed

#

iirc it reduces mp cost so you do want to use it a bunch, but mostly it's for healing while moving

wheat plume
forest sage
#

and potentially hard casting rez

warm snow
#

Probably not

faint flare
#

Majority of pug astros barely use it

forest sage
#

you can probably clear savage without using cards

faint flare
little swift
#

Lightspeed is primarily for.movemebt and your opener now you don't need itas much

forest sage
#

it wouldn't be good, but it'd most likely work out

wheat plume
warm snow
#

It's a great o shit the other healer died and everyone's low button

little swift
#

You can weave with everything in an Astros gcd kit

#

Even the heals

forest sage

that's gonna clip

little swift
#

Itll be tighter

#

And itll clip

#

but its doable if you really really needed it

wheat plume
little swift
#

Learn your weave windows

#

And how to slidecast

#

Those are super key for caster gameplay

warm snow
#

And ofc learn the mechanics

forest sage
#

I don't know if anyone does synced alex savage though(besides BLU parties)

warm snow
#

Cuz mechanics don't give a shit about how good you are

wheat plume
warm snow
#

I mean it's a free 800mp and a damage buff

#

Can does not mean should here

forest sage
#

obviously it's "mandatory" but point was, there's a lot of room

wheat plume
warm snow
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
forest sage
#

a lot of people who do savage are playing far from optimally

warm snow
#

This is a better place to ask

forest sage
#

and yeah check the AST guide in balance

little swift
#

Pre draw your card

warm snow
#

This is more of a general question channel

forest sage
#

it'll answer most questions tbh

warm snow
#

Not a how do I git gudder channel

#

Balance is your gitting gudder discord

little swift
#

And precast malefic at about 2 seconds before pull

#

Combust at pull start

#

Weave your plays and draws

frozen girder
#

How can I improve :3

forest sage
little swift
wheat plume
faint flare
#

Delaying your gcd because of animation lock

little swift
#

@frozen girder make use of manipulation and preparatory touch

forest sage
#

when you weave too much/too late, it'll clip into the next GCD, preventing you from using it

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

little swift
#

Please try to avoid slamming everyone into the balance for every little class/job related thing. Especially if its not current endgame related stuff. Plenty of people here are equally capable of answering the questions in here @warm snow

frozen girder
#

Okay what about that?

kind eagle
#

how to accept clan hunt board

little swift
frozen girder
#

I haven't done my class quest yet ._

#

So I don't have Manipulation

faint flare
#

You probably should really get in that

#

Like

#

Now

little swift
faint flare
#

Manipulation is extremely strong

frozen girder
#

The mats for the class quest are just so annoying to get ._.

proper bobcat
#

Is there any prefered crafter to start first if you're only looking to repair gear on the fly/pentameld?

faint flare
#

60-70 give you the mats

frozen girder
#

Depends on your class

faint flare
#

Plus with low level class quests you could just buy the items

little swift
frozen girder
#

See the little icon under Perception

#

That's the class you need to repair it

little swift
#

So its best to level them concurrently

kind eagle
frozen girder
#

Or ignore it completely until you are in the end

little swift
#

Besides culinarian

forest sage
#

isn't it generally going to be 5 crafts per class? 2 for armor, 2 for accs, 1 for weapon, unless they overlap some

little swift
#

@kind eagle have you done any of the unlock quests

proper bobcat
#

Ohhhh alright

kind eagle
#

i dont think so

frozen girder
#

My accessories have 3 dif crafters needed

#

XD

little swift
#

Depends on the item too

proper bobcat
#

So it doesn't matter which one you start with first item wise

little swift
#

Some accessories are carpenter some goldsmith

frozen girder
#

I need 5 different crafters for Weaver

forest sage
#

some ltw too

kind eagle
#

only hunt gives centurio seals?

forest sage
#

there's daily/weekly bounties for centurio seals too

twilit arch
#

its best to do all crafters because it saves on inventory space, and they're going to rely on mats between all of them (barring cul which is independent from the others for materials, and alc to smaller degree, it feeds more into the others rather them feeding into it)

forest sage
#

can find them in ishgard and kugane/rahlgr(different ones)

faint flare
#

Heavensward/stormblood hunts give centurio seals

kind eagle
#

the hunt board?

#

i cant accept it

forest sage
#

then you haven't done the hunt quests

twilit arch
#

You likely need to do the initial unlock at your grand company headquarters then

kind eagle
#

where to accept it

forest sage
#

starts at your GC as mentionned

proper bobcat
#

Alright, seems good enough, so just try and do all of em at once

twilit arch
#

once you've done the quest "Let the Hunt Begin!" at your grand company HQ, you can then go to ishgard and unlock centurio hunts at the forgotten knight

nova flicker
#

is weaving only called for ogcd stuff or do you say it for the BLM fire into fire 3 procs the ones part of gcd

warm snow
#

that's not a weave

#

as it still triggers the gcd

raw solstice
#

weaving is only for oGCD stuff

warm snow
#

a weave would be using ley lines after a scathe

forest sage
#

cursed example

kind eagle
#

how to unlock let the hunt begin

warm snow
#

or after a procced fire3

proper bobcat
#

One more question, is it recommended to start gatherers alongside crafters?

faint flare
#

Yes

kind eagle
#

require flame rank?

twilit arch
#

its at your grand company headquarters, as i said

faint flare
#

So you can gather your own mats

nova flicker
#

scathe not even on my hotbar lol

twilit arch
#

you need to be 2nd Lieutenant to pick it up though

faint flare
#

Blm has a number of places to weave

forest sage
#

up to you, without gatherer you'll need money, but obviously if you lvl gatherer it also takes longer

faint flare
#

After a shortcast fire/blizzard 3, after a proc, with xenoglossy or using Swift/triplecast

proper bobcat
#

Alright, thanks guys

#

That clears things up

cold steppe
#

Just to confirm i suppose, that link with ast general guide also links to other discord about builds and such, and there's said diffrence between melds is so small it doesnt matter as much what you meld as long as you meld it (between stats you make use of), is that generally true and basically whatever i feel comfortably with it basically good regardless? mooglethink

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Having SOME stats is better than no stats

cold steppe
#

I've been basically melding determination > crit whenever possible, if i were to overcap on a gear was switching to crit and so forth, so i was wondering if it's basically just fine to go that way and dont think about it too much. lol

little swift
#

The ones that really matter are skill/spellspeed and piety for comfort

twilit arch
#

not the most optimal, but yea that's fine

little swift
#

Other stuff is almost imperceptible

#

Because half the time you can chalk up crits to lucky exclamation mark streaks

cold steppe
#

skill/spellspeed i didnt bothered much because im not really sure how much for me would be comfortable yet, but i probably should try around and see what sits with me

little swift
#

There are suggested ones to help line up rotation/raidbuffs

#

Like for example gunbreakers/paladins like 2.4 or 2.42

cold steppe
#

those i havent seen then yet. mooglethink

little swift
#

To help get the right amount of gcds inside their burst windows and the right amount of gcds inside the minute loop of the rotation

cold steppe
#

hmm, i see

hearty rover
#

what time does beast tribe daily quest allowance reset?

little swift
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 19 Hours, 49 Minutes, 16 Seconds

faint flare
#

Same time as roulettes

#

Which is ^

little swift
#

It resets with the roulette reset

#

Only different ones are the weekly timer

#

And gc turn ins

hearty rover
#

when you take beastribe quest before the reset will it still reset or not?

faint flare
#

No

#

You cant have previous day dailies

hearty rover
#

ah i see, thank you

wicked blade
#

are there any bow/ribbon head glamour pieces?

final osprey
#

the quest called "the goblet" involves housing i think. How can i do this quest? I swear its off limits for free trial users? or am i just not doing something right?

elfin edge
#

shisui

#

the head pieces for shisui have ribbons

faint flare
#

You just have to go to the ward

#

Trial people cant BUY houses but can go to the ward

little swift
#

It unlocks teleporting into the housing wards from the main aetheryte

#

You're fine to do it

south roost

Having an issue I can't figure out. I'm trying to craft a "Wrapped Crowsbeak Hammer". One of its requirements is a "Steel Crowsbeak Hammer" which is sold by a Junkmongerer. I have bought the hammer but when I go to the recipe it says unselected, when I try to click it to select the hammer it says "You do not have the required material in your inventory". I've tried resetting the game and it didn't fix it so I can only assume I'm missing something. It even shows when I hover over the item in the recipe that I have two of them

elfin edge

make sure it's in your inventory and not your armory
