oh i was using the wrong keyword, jeez had to be in the junk mail that i find this almost took an L
thanks
so using paypal, subbing directly and subbing by crysta only differs in that for crysta its safer for the forgetful subber?
yes and it may be unviable for people in some countries to use creditcards
so they use paypal as an intermediatary
ok, I entered at this fc, it was created 1 week ago, 1 of the leaders has only 1 lvl 70 job and nothing more (lvl up buy with money), and they are telling members to donate gil and shards to fc. In 1 week we have like 4.5 mill, 4 days ago that leader took out all the gil and 10 minutes later put almost everything back.
is that a long term scam?
just leave
yeah, I'm not dumb, but I'd like to be completely sure this is a scam, to warn other members
you should never be obligated to donate or what not for the "purpose of the guild"
or maybe report ? dunno if that works
no not really worth a report tbh
yeah, they're telling the members who donate more get higher ranks, and the shards will be sold and part of the income will be divided in the highest ranks
Taking from the FC chest is not really reportable since it’s up to the FC to set responsible privileges and for the members to be careful with what they put in
sounds mostly like an attempt at making a gil farming with only actual players
What could have been the reason for the leader to take all the gil and put everything back 10 minutes later?

Any PS4 Pro players? I have a question for people who play on the Pro specifically
Do you ps4 pro users play with High or Normal draw quality ?
Does it really affect performance?
I play with high draw quality and barely notice a difference in performance
Though I do recommend lowering the water refraction stuff or whatever settings the water has in system config
Woah why?
I didn’t even know that was a setting I could change in ps4
What does water refraction even do ?
Something with reflections from the surrounding? I don’t really know the specifics but I don’t really notice when it’s on or off
Why do you recommend turning it off ? Do you notice better FPS ?
More of a “I don’t notice when it’s on or off, so better to leave it off”
When will the emerald mount be purchasable with totems?
Not until 6.0, based on previous trends
They've reworked a lot of gatherer XP. I leveled up faster in ShB than just about any other time in the game besides the first 20 levels or so.
It usually takes 2 main patches or next expansion for extreme mounts to go into the token exchange, depending on which happens sooner
All up to Ruby
memoria doesn't have one btw
I assume we won't be able to unsync Diamond until 6.1/6.2?
6.0
was rathalos an exception then?
yes
Probably because it was a collab
Also
im just trying to remember if it was 5.0X or 5.1 when we got it unsynced XD
supposedly 5.5
5.51
oh on a x.x1?
So in like a month?
Since 5.5 will have the final Shadowbringers alliance raid
It was the same for TEA I think
Closer to two-three months for the actual ultimate
Still not halfway through 5.4
5.45 having mainly resistance weapon/bozja and blue mage level cap increase
have they said anything about hildy?
It’s been canned for Shadowbringers to give it a temporary rest
probably not a priority currently
They felt they’re tiring it out and want to wait for it to feel fresh
how on earth would hildy even arrive in the First?
they probably do put a few too many quests in when they go. feel like 2-3 lines about every other point patch is a bit much
The SB ending made it a possibility if they ever wanted to go for it
They actually never intended for it to go past ARR, but players loved it enough that they continued it some more
its been 2 years, they probably could. if it was always X.5 patch

question: how does the new DoH collectable system work?
half the time I get a decent collectability and the thing breaks anyways
It's the same as before, but just streamlined.
I didn't do it before
tl;dr raise Collectible rating, make sure to not go over node durability
most nodes only last through 4 hits
yes i click "Collect" with 1 durability remaining and 1/2 the time it breaks
that's just your gear not being good enough
just do scrutiny > meticulous > scrutiny > meticulous, collect if 1000, meticulous again if close.
Means you don't have a 100% chance of gathering
great
thx
there's slightly more nuance but that should work most of the time
tbh i'm on smth with a 100% gather rating so its just "more collectability" so i can get better gear
DoH/DoL in a nutsheel right there
yuh
im actually upset the simplified collectables even more
the white scrip gear is... fine. it's not aesthetes but it's fine enough
is 1-60 in diadem supposed to feel super slow
get some survival manuals from your grand company
gotcha
also use food for 3% more. once you hit 50 you'll need to buy survival manuals from the yellow scrip vendor
I see
You can still use the ones from the grand company, they’ll just be harder to use up
I see
these?
ah
id say use those until 60
50-60 will be more of a grind
but once you're at 63 iirc you can buy cheap mb gear that'll be good to level you until 80 (along with the manuals coleridge linked)
do any NPCS aside from GC sell Cordial (in ARR/HW)?
yellow scrip exchange has hi-cordials
and ishgard restoration scrips has another type of cordial i think
thx
is there any way to sort my inventory with a button or something so it auto stacks on retainers?
right click any item and sort
it won't autostack but they'll be next to each other so just stack them yourself
ahh i was more going for from my inv and merge it with existing stacks of same item on retainer for my whole inv but its not:(
a thing
do people in Light DC use POTD to level at all??
I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
Entire data center based on your currently selected languages
It is among all world in the same data center
(I dunno if cross data center means within data center, or between data center)

but if you aren't doin floor 51-60 the que is rly bad, faster to make a pf for floor 1-50
also it's rly early for europe
yeah, just glad found the other 3 to help me climb 1-50
i will try tonight
sorry for misunderstanding
i mean all the worlds in aether is included within the queue like duty finder haha
for example
how do linkshells work? Are they just a group chat channel so people can have communities other than their FC?
more or less
yeah linlshells a like a small private chat group, like fc, novice network
i see, thanks
recruitment only has FCs and so on, i was trying to find out if there were ways to find and join communities other than FCs
i usually play for a couple of months every now and then, not really holding a constant sub
so i usually get the novice network, which is nice
but once that goes away, i kinda miss the banter
Reminder: the blue scrips gear is used to craft the Ironworks Crafting/Gathering gear right? (as in: it gives you the stats to make them)
morning everyone
Mornin'
I need some help with a glamour
I really wish to make a kirito outfit, if you can give me any ideeas would be great
please :))
#glamour-discussion would be the better channel to ask
oh, sorry for wrong topic than
nah it's a valid question
Just better fitted for that channel because most of us don't have gear pieces memorized like the back of our hand
got it
I just got a timeworn dragonskin map, should I use it or sell it?
up to you
the loot may not be that pricey nowadays, but potentially it might be worth more than the map itself
i feel after 75++, healing is kinda wanning gradualy....... i have less time to do dps.... more healing healing healing and healing....

not wrong. leveling healers feels a bit of a falloff in the 70-80 bracket
don't get complacent and make sure you're using all your tools
it won't stay that way forever
it could also be the quality of your groups, bad dps drains healers of tools
@quasi thistle
yeah tbh if anything i felt like i was doing more DPS on WHM the higher i got while levelling. might just be a glut of shitty tanks.
i mean you're quite close to Malikah's which is the death of leveling healers
You'll really notice a lack of understanding of your kit, or dps that're slow at clearing, there
I never really had any issues with that one. For me it was always Dohn that was the "oh crap people are bad" one.
It's probably most of them, tbh. Mheg just has the runoff issues of people boosting and not understanding
Is there a color code guide to quests
Not sure what you mean
Like orange, blue and the main quests?
The last of those can basically be completely ignored on your initial playthrough - and should be.
If it has recycle sign, its repeatable
Recommendation is usually area based
You can safely ignore all the "so you want to be xxx"
until you are ready as well
Does gear matter when gathering in Diadem pre-60/80? Also, is the yellow scrips gathering gear necessary or will vender gear work when leveling 60+?
Yes, mainly for maximum GP which helps with maximizing gathering, vendor stuff is good enough for the most part
While leveling you just want more GP
Only really have to worry about stats at 80
doesn't blue scrip gear have better stats than ironworks

Ironworks is better when melded, but either way getting a full set of yellow scrips for level 60 is pretty overkill since the sets are class-specific
Best to only get belt+accessories and maybe tools, and use the level 61 crafted set instead

Returning player noob question......
On my lvl 80 whm I have Ingrimm equipped, is there a further part to the wepons questline yet to make it more powerful? It is currently ilevel 485.... Or should I look to replace it with something else if no quest exists yet? Tia
The resistance relic currently goes to i500
But if you’re looking for a quick increase, I recommend checking the prices of the exarchic weapon (i510) for your data center and decide if it’s worth the cost
Okay, thankyou for the help 🙏
For a frame of reference, on Aether the cane is between 140k and 190k depending on exact server
I would still get the relic though. Unless you want to do current tier savage, which I don't recommend if you're new, the i500 relic is "good enough". Plus you're gonna Probably want to get the upgrade done at some point anyways.
Think I will spend the day crafting a set of i510 stuff (80 in all crafts, just gonna have to watch some video to recap on crafting, haha). Then work on the relic quest tomorrow. Thanks for both your help 😀
I could send you relatively low stat requirement macros
Thanks friend, but I'm just hoping it all comes back to me when I start, haha. I see there is like a crafting practice option in the menus now, thats a nice touch...
Yeah there is. Although I must warn you, making a full Exa set from raw mats will take over an hour so don't recommend crafting by hand.
Unless you had a fully melded set of Aesthete's when you left, gonna be pretty rough for you to make Exarchic gear.
Also yeah, you need at least 1-2 overmelded aesthete
Or handsaint
I'm fairly sure you can make it with handsaint
Pure hand saint isn’t good enough
Oof
Handsaint suffers from low CP and low Control
Rome wasn't built in a day, haha. I will get my head around it
Aesthetes with some melds will let you make it, but you have to HQ alot of intermediary stuff too. Full melds lets you make it without almost no HQ mats.
My current setup for Exarchic lets me make it with only the sand and 78 item HQ
I never bothered to get bis pentameld, I can HQ from like 14k-ish starting qualt
isnt that like 4 mats
peopel pentameld to have to hq less mats
Yeah thats the real appeal is the time saving.
any savage discord around?
Not having to run obnoxious macros on 4 star mats is nice
I'm fine with my current setup. I'm not gonna waste all the scrips to remeld.
your data center might have something specific, but as far as i know theres no cross data center discord specifically for savage
theres a few recruitment discords i think but htats it
Were there any changes to payment method on mogstation?
No
when the tank is kinda on high, like agroing bunch of monster, his HP drop to 30% in 4 second, got into emergency and spamming Holy,Holy,Holy to buy time for Regen + Med II DoT regenerate some HP, then even before the Tank got enough Hp to agroing another mob, he go sprint and kite another bunch of mobs leaving me behind....

how to make the tank survive in that situation ?
i kinda feel bad
if you're using your abilities correctly, and the tank is still spiking that hard, its probably them thats wrong.
Watch to see that they're using their cooldowns

don't use medica 2 if you only need to heal the tank btw, cure 2 heals the same potency (if only tank needs it) and both costs 1 GCD
sorry, where do i have to write that i need people for a PF?
melee dps kinda often give ma a fright... one second they got full HP, the next second they only got 10% hp left...
Can you rephrase that question? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
hey, I made the 1v1 bozjan fight trigger but I couldnt join it ? any idea why ? it was like 4/1, are we choosen random ?
or maybe I couldnt join cause I was in a group ? I dont know, first time I see this fight
Yes
If you don't get any vuln stacks in the required fights you get the invite and then it picks at random among everyone meeting that requirement
oh I see
if that happen again to me, can I still join the fight if im in group ?
or I must leave it
and may I ask more : what does this fight gives ?
You can join it when in a team
It will just transport you into the arena alone
And I don't know what it gives, when I did Bozja only the baddies got the invite since they focused on avoiding vuln stacks and not doing any damage to the bosses, so no one beat it
I see lol
I was just trying do avoid aoes while fighting nothing more then I got this invite
its 99 lockboxes, a bunch of mettle and buff i believe?
the 1v1 fight you mean o O?
yes
Says 99 lockboxes, 30 tomestones, 1800-30000 (jeebus) mettle and one of those text thingies
is there any way to recover items that I couldnt get cause of full inventory btw ?
Nope

Does "glamouring counts" in fashion report mean that if I glam say, false nails over an exa piece, it will count as both wearing exa and wearing the false nails? Or just the false nails?
the false nails
You don't have to equip the actual piece if it's glamoured on top of what you have
for fashion report, what matters is whats visible
hey guys, i just bought general purpose pastel blue dye from the marketboard but im unable to dye my things with that color because icant find the option 😮
is that not for clothes?
it is, its quite possible teh thing you're trying to dye cant be dyed
im trying to dye the allagan set, which ive already done before so i know its dyeable.
i can send a screenshot of the general purpose pastel blue dye in my inventory
Make sure it's the Replica Allagan set
and a screenshot of the lack of option for it
i dyed allagan set and it wasnt a replica 😮
Only the replica version is dyeable
They look the exact same, but replica is dyeable
does the name have the word replica in it?
Yes
well mine doesnt and i dyed it
What’s the full name of the item?
Oh, that's pvp gear
Ok that’s a different allagan set
oh i didnt know there were two.
There are multiple
There’s like 5 or 6 different allagan sets
Allagans got around
oh did not know that, i apologize. maybe that dye is for a different set only?
Dyes aren’t gear-specific
This isn't dyeable
You don’t have the dye on you
Go to the final category of dyes
The ones with a green background are in that set of dyes
oh im stupid
All of those are dyeable since they have the small circle in the top right showing a different color
thank you, i see it now. i thought they were all only store bought. sorry!
im just a few weeks in to this game. thanks for helping me out.
where can i find all the looks for weapons and shield?
What time does daily reset occur? I am in NA
!reset
0 Days, 1 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
0 Days, 6 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
0 Days, 18 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
0 Days, 18 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
5 Days, 12 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
5 Days, 6 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
4 Days, 23 Hours, 22 Minutes, 35 Seconds
aka, in 1 hour and 22 min
thanks
iirc, gamerescape site probably has a picture of all weapons?
ok
trying to find a good looking shield lol
like, I am in a PF, but no people are joining, so in what discord room I say about this PF?
Does stone 2 and regen 2 do the same amount of damage/healing?
Since they’re both 200 potency
is there a quick-guide to understanding parses?
I'm nowhere near going into endgame content,
but knowing how to at least start reading this stuff would be greatly appreciated u_u
Does anyone know if "Chat support" is by a voice call, or chat. I just want to make sure to prepare and connect everything 'I because it says 'Mute"
Regen’s potency is per “tick”
so it does about 200 potency of healing every few seconds
upload act parse logs to fflogs via their uploader application
from there you can paste the report link into sites like xivanalysis to give you a rundown on how people performed with their classes based on uptime, their use of debuffs, etc
try asking in the fflogs discord if you’re unsure about how to find anything specific in the fflogs fight report/how to use their site

how much more damage is a direct crit ?
thank you
x1.20 or x1.25, not sure @raw granite
oh direct crit
then it's that (static dh multiplier) multiplied by the crit multiplier, which scales with how much crit you have
the extra damage adds up over the course of a fight
low roll technical step can hit for like 99k, direct crit technical step in opener with all the buffs hits for like 215k
they drop as consolation prizes from the ishgardian restoration kupo of fortune
so they’re insanely cheap on mb as well because everyone sells the trash prize
i’m not sure, since it’s not a direct drop like a quest reward
they probably don't have an easy way to list it if it's some niche way like kupo of fortune
they already have a system set up for listing quest rewards so they just add that
other sites have it listed under kupo of fortune https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Magicked_Prism_(House_Fortemps)
no
not that i can recall
theres event stuff like prisms (fireworks etc) that are seasonal but i cant think of anything else
if you count that as separate from events then i think some irl promos had glassy wings as a limited(?) prism? dunno
What exactly do I do in HoH to get the Juedi mount?
clear floor 100 four times
also from wedding irc
deep dungeon loot is usually in silver haloed sacks
oh nvm
consumables imply that it applies some kind of effect, and apart from the prisms as pure cosmetics, i’m pretty sure all other consumables can be obtained indefinitely
yeah, i got two different types of wings prisms from my eternal bond ceremony
well in that case... mounts and minions would be considered consumables too 
sigh... i need to stop pretending i actually know what proc means.
someone please give a gal a hand with some of the niche-r lingo haha
proc basically means that a skill can trigger another effect/skill
!action fan dance
so fan dance has a 50% dance of procing flourishing fan dance
“programmed random occurrence” or something like that
i can't believe I didn't just google that lmao. i was like but what does it stand for?! then I googled it and was like what a second....
when a skill procs, the skill icon lights up with the yellow dotted border
anyone know a solution for cannot use this function error when creating SE acc?
How can i reduce or get rid of this big ass ‘say’ in the middle?
Just noticed but, what do these arrows indicate?
Thanks
am i missing something or is there another instance with Baelsar in its name aside of the dungeon?
but just baelsar's wall
there's an npc 
baelsar at sturdy would be under bonus
so, for mutamix's whole deal of transferring materia: I have a bunch of MKVII battle materia I don't need from quest stuff, and aim to turn as much of it into gatherer's materia as possible, probably to sell
someone told me the best way to do that is to always pick 5 different types of battle materia for each meld, so that it's always in a 1/1/1/1/1 ratio
is that right?
Yes it can't give you a materia type you put in
But there are more than 5 types of combat substats so it could still result in a combat materia 7
hi guys I have a couple questions is there any way to be better warned about party finder? I mean Im a dps so takes a while, and sometimes Im watching youtube,and the program doesnt shine or make a sound when party is ready like wow for exemple or have to change some settings for that?
do i need to use my relic through out a duty in order to get light or do i just need to have it equipped before leaving it?
enable sounds while game is minimized and turn up system sounds @umbral hollow
System settings. Make sure you have play sounds in background checked off and system sounds is the only one
Final boss in the duty must be killed with the relic
Unless it specifically says can be in inventory
okay
and is it normal to be overleved I mean I was sent to a few dungeons and I think I leveled to much im level 29 while most of msq still are level 20 and its very boring play like this
Any tips for a new tank I’m new to mouse and keyboard too bit is there any things I need to know

Sweet thanks!!
Why is king moogle (extreme) so annoying and difficult
@serene cloud future reference do this in #kupo-bot-spam if it doesn't answer a question
Thats not specific
The fight itself has many elements that are challenging when synced
Most notably not killing all the moogles off
cool thank you good to know!
What happens when you change free company city allegiance?
Do you lose FC rank or seals?
Your fc will lose rep with the gc you were originally with
but afaik the fc credits are untouched
Hey! Where do I find the setting to pass "recruiter" permissions on the Lodestone?
e12n have rewards available 2 times per week? 
other fights shows rewards already received, but i noticed today that on e12 it says 1/2
You get 2 rewards from e12n, 1 token and 1 blade
blade is automatically dropped into your inventory when you clear the fight for the first time in a week
ah
i must've lost the token roll then it seems and i didnt noticed lol
good i noticed before rollover.
As a free player if I pay for a month can I go back to being a free player?
Oof
Hello. Where can I pick up the initial quest that starts the new tier of SHB’s raids?
the trial is just that, a trial to test out the game
I just want to be a bunny girl
mord suq or however you spell it @leaden ginkgo
entry
how much is it though
which is 13$ a month
I'm getting a 90001/90002 error when I try to log in how can I fix this?
I'm not sure if anyone could help me on this. So I wanted to get back into playing ffxiv and so I went to my account on mogstation to reactivate my subscription but it's saying I don't have a service account. I checked to make sure I didn't cancel my service account but that wasn't it. It's like my account is brand new and doesn't register that I purchased the game previously. I played it in 2013 to 2018... I'm super super confused. Idk what to do.

I suppose the crystal tower comes back into focus later ? Cause I just finished it and I don't see why they'd make it MSQ mandatory
yes
I would contact SE customer service
Hi! If I roll for loot and leave the instance before everyone rolled, I loose the chances of getting the loot?
You lose the loot
yes
Ok, thanks
Cant give you stuff if you're not there
you need to be in the instance when the loot is distributed to get it
👍
some ppl wait with rolling since they hope you leave and they get it
Any tips for a healer going into eden promise
Dont stand in bad
Besides that
What do I do with skybuilder stuff that is too low collectability to hand in to Potkin?
Pay attention to the boss and casts as there's alot of boss tells with short telegraphs
sell/toss
Discard
@faint flare ok ty
run dungeons unsync for the gear and turn it in saves you the gil
gear from duty, dunno if crafting greens/blues is worth the money on mats you toss
retainers on quick search tend to get a good chunk of gear you can turn in. isn't 100% but its often enough
Is it possible to change race and appearance after character creation?
Yes
With a fantasia
You get 1 via completion of the base arr story
Rest is paid with real money
You can change a few details via the Aestitiosion summoned via the crystal bell in inn rooms
do you need a proper food for extreme actually? 
Need, not really but should you? Probably eat something
The extra vit and stats are helpful
are there any crafted primal weapons from ShB?
fair
No Shb primal weapons
Can anyone just tell me if it's possible to buy mogstation items with paypal, I am aware that Subscription can't be paid with paypal, what about mog items like costumes, boosts, etc?
I can't check cause acc is inactive
And I wasn't paying attention before xD
You buy crysta via paypal and use that to pay subscription and optional items

Oh I thought it was availble, welp then! Ty
you buy crysta first with paypal and with the crysta you buy the items or sub
As I said
darkness weather, what does it mean?
hey, should I spend my tomes on materia as I level up or what should I buy?
just aesthetic?
so i just reached lv70 and got the antiquated set, but where do i get the antiquated jewellery set? and where do i buy the lv70 equivalent of "ironworks"/"shire" set?
Kugane or rhalgars reach after 4.0
For scaevan
There's never any antiquated jewellery
400
@patent citrus for the most part. Unless your fishing it usually has no difference.
Again, brought in kugane or rhalgars reach
After completing 4.0
Kugane is via splendor vendors as usual
oh wait sorry, is the currency used still the tomes
Yes still poetics
every past expansion gear is poetics
or well everything that was tomes at the time
some stuff gets converted to centurio seals during the expansions
so i suppose when i hit level 80 its centurio
No
i was wondering why i cant access the store when i first arrived in kugane
will there be a in game guide about it?
No because lv80 currency is thr same methods, just different names
i see
You do 80 content for lv80 tomes
when I say centurio, it's the early gear in a given expansion, for example 4.0 tome gear becomes centurio, but 4.4 gear is poetics
whats centurio ilvl?
it became centurio during Stormblood so it stayed that, but all the tome gear at the time of 5.0 release became poetics
lower
it's irrelevant other than for glamours
Hunt currency gear is always lower than tomes
As its the old gear from the start of a expansion
Not the end of it
ok so i do hunts for centurio seals
once 6.0 launche,s all the current ShB tome gear will become poetics
i see, sounds fun
but the older 5.0 gear that already was converted to nuts(equivalent of centurio) will stay that, if you want them for glamours and stuff
thanks for the info, imma look around
for lvling purposes the main thing to know is you buy the good gear with poetics at 50/60/70, rest is just for glamours
btw, i know that you upgrade the antiquated gear
you can, if you want to dye it
do they surpass the lv70 poetics in the end?
no
Upgrading it is mainly to make the gear dyeable
eureka technically has a set of armor that can beat tome gear in some slots when melded, but it's not really relevant
it takes dozens of hours of grinding to get there
and it'll only very slightly better on like one or two slots
the only relevant gear to compare to tome would be savage drops, but you're probably not getting into a group farming those at this point in time, and it's just not really worth it over just farming some roulettes for poetics
what about pvp side of the game, is it popular?
Not much
no it is not, but some people do it
pvp also doesn't reward actual useable gear since SB, just glamour rewards
in pvp, you have standardized stats
let me guess, the same group of people who gets toxic to new pvp players?
Would it be possible to get a team to teach me dungeons properly as I play tank, I’m about to unlock war I’m on like the last msq and I wanna be a better tank to help my team
the pvp is kinda weird and floaty in this
Put on tank stance (defiance) > hit mobs > rotate defensive cooldowns > dont stand in bad
Well dine you're great tank
game code is basically not really made for pvp in mind so it feels weird to play, and most of the population just doesn't care
I play on chaos
No
F
Tanking is one of the easiest roles
I doubt you're on the last msq if you've yet to unlock warrior as a job
I play on that French sounding world in chaos
So just take your time to learn
louisoix
Louisoix
All you need to do
Warrior doesn't change drastically upon upgrading from marauder don't freak out
but yeah playing a tank isn't too complicated, the shortened version listed earlier is good
I was taught to grab boss aggro and then run through him so he turns around for dps but are there any other tips like that
This
Literally all you do
I know the basic stuff but any niche tips that can help out
if you have tank stance on, you will have aggro, they made it irrelevant, so after that it's just a matter of making sure you hit every enemy(you have aoe skills, Overpower for WAR), make sure you don't stand in aoes(but don't move if you don't have to, so melees can hit positionals) and use your defensive cooldowns not only whne you're low, but more to prevent getting low in the first place
There's not many niche tips really
Just use 👏 your 👏 cooldowns 👏
all of them
Every cooldown has a use
so they’re are universal cool downs like my 1-4 and non universals like my stuns or def boosts
Your defensive cooldowns
!faq abc super important
Shit like rampart, vengeance, ARNS LENGTH And reprisal
You want you global cooldown to always be rolling
Is there a way to check who replaces waypoints to intentionally mess with new people?
After that its just a matter of cycling defensive cooldowns
And not dumping them all at once
what waypoints?
Waymarks
What’s a good cycle I’m getting used to mouse and keyboard
Because you want to be tanky for longer rather than sorta not squishy for 10s and then paper after
Do it by how long the cooldown is generally
Trash does MUCH more damage than bosses
You want to use a longe r cooldown one earlier so that it has time to recharge before your next pull
So use fort first then when that runs out reprisal and then after that arms?
yeah trash is where you take the most dmg
well it'll depend on the pull and such, also don't use a cooldown is stuff is almost dead
you'll want it for the next pull
Arms length should be combined with another cd usually
Since while it slows attack speed it doesn't reduce the damage the attacks do
reprisal+arm's length is usually what I couple, since they're both somewhat weak on their own
I typically squeeze it together with reprisal
ahh makes sense thank you
you also get another defensive a bit later(big % one, but shorter duration/longer cooldown)
This would be the one you want to use first
DRK is nice at 70+, feels squishy before but is fine if you keep your gear up to par
Ah I’m a free player so that suck
Can’t afford it At the moment but when I get another job I probs will
well something to look forward to in the future
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
This thing
You can use that on teammates right I heard you could
yeah you can
although for tanking dungeons it's gonna be on yourself 99% of the time
but it has such a low cd you can use it a few times every pull
and it negates a ton of dmg as a result
what do i do with the fish from diadem
Does DRK have its own heart attack button?
Should still pop a mitigation cd too with tbn
you give it to the NPC, then they give you back fish you cna desynth for mats
And yes it does
kk thats what i thougt ty
!action living dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
Basically the warrior holmgang with a caveat
and a longer cd
Maybe I should attach a macro to that to warn the healer
its the worst tank invuln
Also longer duration
2 secs yeah
Absolutely not the worst
id disagree
realistially you shouldn't have to use it, and if you do use it it's hard for the healer to get you back up without TBN to mitigate dmg or if the healer is a WHM with benediction
ive seen many a drk die to it
although in endgame content you will use it
but people are prepared for it at that point
That doesn't mean its the worst aceneo
It has the highest durational value
Of up to 20s of it
When should I use !action Thrill of battle
Its another defensive
Thrill is basically a shield
Is there a recommendable guide for GNB?
It increases your health and heal you
!faq gnbguide
Use it for hp
Ty
^
at lv78 it increases healing received by 20%
so you can use it when youre low to help your healers
Drk knight can cheese all 6 tethers of titania ex comfortably alone
Should just use it all the time
Same cd as rampart so use one after the other ?
Don't hold cds for the next fight
its a 90 sec cd aswell yes
Heal hyourself with it
Rep has 60 sec
Fort and thrill have 90 sec
Arm has 120 sec
So fort then rep+arm and use thrill if I need it
But don’t use fort twice in one pull
Not relatively valid reasoning for explaining why its the worst in a qnh chat. Anecdotal logic falls flat in that sense here
now if you said its because the caveat of requiring to be healed can be argued as difficult to manage
Thats more reasonable
Expert roulette denies me the ability to queue until I “complete the following : ???” What is that?
Msq dungeon
Expert always has the 2 latest dungeons in it
Which are both in the msq
So finish the msq up to the latest dungeon
And complete it
you need to have both completed, not unlocked to do expert roulette
I see. Thank you
I've check just about everywhere online before asking here: Is there a command I can macro to switch from controller to K+M? I know you can hit K then switch that way. I was kinda looking for a one button option

sadly last time I checked there wasn't, had to go through the menu everytime
Do you know if you can macro menu items? I have a feeling its gonna be a no
There's some you can. I know you can macro all of the volume settings, for example
Though ive never looked beyond that
any tips on how to level my dps classes ? potd or squadrons dungeons ? or smth else maybe ?
What blue quests should I do cause it doesn't seem like some of them aren't that important and don't unlock much
class quests, the rest tend to be somewhat optional
Anything that unlocks a new feature
they unlock dungeon or old content or features(like treasure maps) but can ignore them until you need them usually
Like mounts, challenge logs, dungeons etc
Ok thank you
weather swaps at 12am, 8am, 4pm Eorzea time
it's usually off by a few minutes(ingame time), like it'll swap at 8:03 or 8:02 or whatever but yeah
daily roulettes, dungeons, potd/hoh
dungeons queue time can be bad for dps though, so potd can be faster sometimes
hunting log and fates if you're waiting on a queue
what about squadrons ? I remember getting good amount of xp with them one day
they're fine if you have them leveled
potd/hoh still better I guess ?
those are pretty good too, though i found managing the AI to be a bit frustrating
potd is about the same
so matter of what you prefer doing, and iirc squadrons have "holes" where you're missing a dungeon
squadrons are good if you want to play smth else or watch a movie while doing it
you can do that in potd too though
I see, I think i'll stick to potd/hoh, btw is HoH better than potd over lvl 61 or they give same amount of xp ?
yes you should switch to HoH at 61+
hoh is better for 61 and above, yes
potd doesn't scale past 59 so it gives garbage xp at 60+
71+ should do bozja or trust dungeons (assuming dungeon queues are meh)
I found on internet potd is best to tag for floor 51-60 and 21-30 for hoh, is that right ?
yep
Im doint bozja for my 71+ classes its crazy fast 😮
but I also need to progress into bozja to get my relic, maybe thats why I dont feel it painful lol
Is POTD worth checking out if you want to level an alt and haven’t done it before or is it dead/hard to get into content?
it's worth it for leveling alts, it's not dead content BUT you need to get to 51-60, which can be annoying since 41-50 require people aren't sniffing glue
Which is hard to find
The floor 51 to 60?
Glue sniffers populate the lower floors
so it's a one time unlock thing
Can I run the same Lv 60 dungeon over and over for the bitter memories?
yes
yeah just the one memory for that step
I see, thank you. I might try it out when I level MNK
well 6x that one memory
Awesome
Think there's a potd guide
Resistance has been piss easy
That tells you how many runs
you can also solo potd up to 51 if you're playing a semi decent class, it's not really too hard imo, although you'll probably have to run 1-30 twice for aether levels
I mean you can solo it on everything, it's just easier on some classes than others
is armory bonus from higher gatherer class to lower a thing? just like combat classes?
gochu
Is the only chest that drops Fine Wax the one right after the first locked door in haukke? or can other bronze chests drop it too?
The only chest that drops it is the one that is just past where you would turn to fight the first boss.
So not the "first" locked door
yeah. I was talking about that chest
Just making sure, because theres another locked door before that one that also has a chest in it that DOESNT have anything in it
actually isnt retelling preety nice way to get best materias? Assuming the glamour stuff from this arent limited only to faux? Or mouts/whatever else is there?

The glam from faux is exclusive iirc. If you want materia, go on a hunt train and earn stellaclusters, or do pixies.
using faux leaves to buy materia is incredibly wasteful
i just wondered if it's viable alternative since i was able to clear it, that's all
Battle materia should be obtained via hunts. Its not even close in terms of how efficient it is compared to all other options
gochu, tho my server hunt discord doesnt seem to be very alive, right now at least. lol
pixies is a good alternative to hunts if you got limited play time or aren't online when hunts happen
what does the faux hollows glam look like?
i'll take a look at pixies then, i assume you mean the pixie tribe?
Should I use allagan tomestones on materias while leveling up?
is there any good use for tomes while leveling or should I just buy gear ups?
Buy gear
ok thanks
Its the best gear at that level cap
And will last you 5 levels when story and dungeons give higher ilvl gear
Sell them for money
What are the talles exterior furnishings I can jump on? Trying to get on my roof
The heaven on high miniature is your best bet
It’s basically a mini jumping puzzle on its own
O
I wonder if Kupo has it on iglam...
hi!!, if i want to transfer from Crystal to Aether, thats possible with the Home World Transfer service that costs 18$
Yee
!iglam Miniature Heaven-on-High
That looks taller than the edge partition I have rn
Sorry, @faint flare that Yee was for my question?
For a direct visual reference, here’s mine sitting at our FC medium house
Yes
Thanks that will work
thanks!
Wanted to make sure before buying it for 180k
How am I supposed to craft this...
It's all VIII materia ._.
What can I do better XD
You NEED to overmeld
And abuse the procs
The expert receipes are aimed at people in BiS gear and who know how to craft and use the procs
Expert Crafts basically require pentamelded gear, max CP, and making use of the procs
It’s not something you can use the same rotation on every time
is there any guide for scraps for from the ishgardian place thingy?
They’re meant for ranking on the leaderboard
Scraps?
anyone know why my client isn't downloading the newest patch?
yeah, they added new glamour stuff to the shop so i wondered
Oh you mean earning scrips? Do the level 80 non-expert recipes
Or whatever highest level you can do
hmm 
The base 80 recipes are very easy to do, and can be macro’d
yeah i dont have lvl 80 crafter quite yet but i suppose it can wait until i actually manage to lvl up my first crafter
anyone know why my client isn't downloading the newest patch?
I think the ishgard fate is pretty good for leveling if you happen to be around
dont you need to gather stuff in diadem to do the things in the first place?
the fate is just a click quest in the firmament
I honestly recommend searching up your error code yourself and see what other say, since there’s tons of probable solutions like Firewall, port settings, updating Internet Explorer, and more
it happens every 8 hours or so? depending on progress I think
doesn't require crafting
Yeah, or buy the mats
but for regular ishgard rest crafting you could also just buy the mats, but I'm not sure if the prices went up or down because everyone's trying to rank
i see
if you have decent gatherers you should just gather to level them up too
Prices are very chaotic at the moment
I recommend buying out the cheaper materials and manually gather the expensive ones if you want to be a mix of time-efficient and Gil-efficient
If you can gather the materials, that is
as for the event, i participated in it only once and well, it was hard to even click on the thing:x
do the building sites disappear as they get completed?
I wasn't sure if it was just my game not loading some of them or they get "built" so you're supposed to go to different ones
Yes
ah okay
They respawn when you do a full loop
heh my first time doing it yesterday and sadly I only got to 4
hello just got the game and i dont know what server to pick (im in eu) is there any server recomendations?
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Tldr: pick a data centre for your region (chaos or light) and picked a preferred server if possible
thank you
You can have people as tenants for shared personal housing but no true co-ownership
If you give them the permission to, yes
oh good
They can also tend the garden
so it's basically co-ownership
sweet
anyone able to help with the ffxiv a version update is required 1012 loop on loading the game up?
Retainers can be the same job, no direct downside to it
Besides not having the gatherer ones which may or may not be better depending on what you need
So I can just use 4 Arcanist retainers
And then 3 and 3 for the gatherers
Not including fish
Yep
Is there any way to play the game with the subtitles for what the Japanese audio is saying, instead of having the english script be backed by the jp va?
Like, I want the dialogue to match the text but I wanna stick with jp audio

You’d likely need to change the entire launcher to JP, though I’d have to double check
Just to clarify, you want JP audio with JP subtitles?
Yeah, so that what's being said matches up
It's not really a necessity but it'd be cool if that were possible
@quick pine sorry to bug, but is the above possible without making the client language JP?
Can you take a screenshot of the exact error code?
Curiously
May have asked this but what’s the deal with changing FC GC?
Does it reset rank or just change the home city
...is it even possible to change the GC your FC is aligned to? 
Might be a leader-only thing since I’ve never seen the setting anywhere
But I assume it just changes which GC you go to for doing FC stuff
Yes but unsure if it will screw anything up
Like I wanna swap them but only if I won’t lose anything
You lose standing but I don't think it touches anything else
rep yeah
Does the rep even do anything?
It shouldn't touch rank at all
you can change your FC's GC but it will slowly decay
I mean the previous GC's rep
@leaden ginkgo
can you lvl fisher on diadem just like gatherer/miner or do they need to be lvled "normally" ?
Yea you can do fisher there
ic ic, great
since i kinda want to do gatherers first before crafters since thier gear is the same for the most part, it'll help with armory management for me
bait for it you can buy in diadem or firmament
Do em at the same time imho
thats the plan Zerg
i want to do gatherers together basically
thats why i wonder
thanks~
@gritty oracle any clear thoughts oj rank of loss or action seals?
it looks like the only thing you would potentially lose is the discounted price of actions for the allied gc. Everything should stay
But not rank or currency?
No like i said
That’s not bad 🤔
no idea, I just saw someone here who complained about rank decay
It shouldn't touch anything other than the reputations and their bonuses
My smol house is in Mists, pretty nice spot so I don’t know if I want limsa GC or Uldah
Well unless you're trying to max out more than one (which you can't) you have time to think about it
Lol I just dunno where is optimal or if there’s a difference
FC rank won't change if you mean that
Yeah i said that
🤔
Nothing changes but the standing
Can you change personal Gc allegiance ?
You can swap gcs
quick question. im on free trial but heard i can become a scholar. i got my arcanist to 31 and finished all arcanist guild quest. where do i goto get the scholar class?
Arcanist guild after passing Slyph management msq
do the msq quest where you meet the sylphs, then iirc marauder's guild
arcanist's guild is smn
No
both are in the arcanists guild
fair
Danke
wheres maradurer?
@leaden ginkgo do you plaay starcraft?
When I was young :3
You need to past slyph management msq ontop of finishing arcanist quests
XD
I swear..that I'm max height Hrothgar, but this other mancat is way bigger than me ;~; is there something I'm missing or is he just clearly the alpha?
@leaden ginkgo not the correct channel for shitposting thanks
is like the outfit or shoes making him bigger*
he seems to be straightened up
hm
ohh I guess that was the case..the height difference is pretty big then
thanks for clearing that up
I used one for my main class to get handmedowns and hunts and one for a gatherer
Is it possible to create 2 characters on one world with entry sub?
No
Cause I swear I was able to create 2 on Zodiark yesterday with entry
Unless its only on zodiark
Or something is weird
Or the very least you wouldn't be able to play it
definitely can't make a second character on the same server on entry
very impt
mostly lore. Sometimes emote or item
