Does that mean another 30 days is automatically added then?
im not 100% sure, but you should be able to just check your transactions and that should tell you
i dont think it adds another 30 days just to swap from entry -> standard
Yeah, it probably just allowed more char creation
i would just check your mogstation account, that should tell you everything
No, I don't think so
Aw darn, alright

Hey guys, new to the game here. Im a level 12 archer, and I REALLY want a minion. Which is the easiest way of getting one? Thanks!
From achievement certificates at Jonahas in Old gridina
Only costs 2 which is 100 achievement points
Which you'll get naturally via story and playing
Oh great! Thanks
alternatively if you don't have any achievement certs, there are 2 sidequests in Aleport once you hit level 15 that you can do for minions

you can see the numbers on the NPC you turn in at too, the guy in the MCH shop
do people occasionally form organized PF for things like the binding coil of Bahamut or is that just a thing I'll have to hope for my FC to do? 
I've been queuing for four hours for the second turn and is sad lmao
Only unsynced
Is there anyway to set something like that I get notified if certain things get posted on mb?
PF only for coil, can find people willing to run you through unsynced, synced would be harder
No one ques for what's basically savage
No one likes the binding coil of bahamut
Use party finder and/or do it unsynced once you're level 80
I like it, it's just not something you can queue for since it's not in any roulette
well maybe mentor
where is the FFXIV crash log file located
is there a way to tell what hairstyles I've unlocked? Don't want to buy something from the MB if I already have it. Will it not let me?
or error log?
the hairstyler lets you check what you have
This is the final Firmament, right? Does that mean I have to acquire the mounts with Skybuilder's Scrips before this phase is over or will the Firmament remain open forever afterward?
it's the final ranking, it'll stay open after that
at the very least until they announce something about it

Restoration is permanent until we're told otherwise
huh
what gives
I was invited to do my first 1v1 in bozja
but then it says I couldn't..?
"You were unable to join the following critical engagement: Aces High"
It means you weren’t chosen
how long does it usually take to get purchases from the mog station optional item store?
Qualifiying for duels is easy
Account wide item will take longer
Just dont get vuln stacks
Otherwise, anywhere between 5-15 minutes, I suppose
But its still randomly selected from all qualified
You NEED specific actions for the 1v1s otherwise you're guaranteed to fail
@warped nest it is the Collegiate attire
All 3 need Lost Manawall.
Lyon’s Duel needs Dispel
Fire Guy’s duel needs Esuna or the lost action equivalent potion
And you can buy the fragments for those actions via clusters
are healers class with lowest vitality stat? my AST have like 508 IL with roughly 5000 VIT, but i've seen some dancer at 515 having almost 6000, which is preety big diffrence in hp pool...
They’re tied with casters for lowest HP
so thats normal i take it, well then 
Yeah it goes tanks > dragoon > other melee + ranged > casters+healers
No wait, looks like dragoon gear has the same bit as melee/ranged
i guess im just surprised since i thought healers would have a bit bigger hp pool given thier dps isnt big, while providing the way of actually sustaining the fight
fair
it makes me kinda concerned about savages, if i'll ever attempt those cuz i was watching some streamer attemtping e11s and there were times they had like lower 5% side of hp after the mechanic, tho i assume if the damage was "magic" healers would just get less damage outright anyway
but i assume it's balanced the way if done correctly everything survives anyway
This tier is very high damage in particular
You're meant to be mitigating aoes anyway
Yeah casters and healers have more magic defense
Which is the damage they’ll be taking most of the time
Since most raidwide aoes and mechanics tend to be magical
gochu
also im aware about mitigating damage, if you're talking about shielding here, i already noticed it being very usefull in unreal titan tbh so far as i tried playing around it
basically always using nocturnal sect with WHM lol
There's more to it than shields
^
There's tank mitigation via reprisal
damage reductions also exist im aware.
Addle from casters, ranged have a 10% (I think) damage reduction for nearby party skill
Some stuff I'm convinced scales on how many people are alive, like the e9s transitions
I might, if I get there...
thanks for explanation overally anyway, appreciate it, tho idk how i actually didnt noticed that healers are tied to lowest raw hp pool while playing thru basically whole MSQ lol
Healers are traditionally the squishiest party members in rpgs
for wondrous tails, how many floors of potd do i have to do for it to count
Can anyone help me with tanking, i want to do msq daily for xp, but I've never done 2 tanks trials and stuff, do I keep grit on for drk if I dont want to be main tank or what?
I'm not sure if I keep enmity on if I'm not the main tank or do I turn it off
Oh and I probably should have asked that in #tank-lounge xdd
Just one floor set
So 1-10 or 51-60 is enough
Generally speaking I only turn on tank stance as offtank if mechanics necessitate adds being away from the boss
Or if the tank dies and I can immediately be the next target without needing to worry about the boss smacking a DPS
Oh ok, so I do keep it off unless there are adds that come during boss or if the main tank dies
I turn it on after a little bit to secure 2nd spot in case MT dies, but in MSQ runs no one's gonna die anyway
WELL
So I beat E4S Stone Sky Sea as a DRG with 14 secs left, my gear is 460-510, and my overall ilvl is 476. Should I be getting a faster time or is that good?
14s in plenty, but you're at a higher ilvl than BiS was during that patch
Ah ok
particularly if your weapon is 510
My weapon is 485
I’ll go for my 510 weapon then, thanks
np
you'd be better off trying current patch stuff
e4s required 75~k rdps to clear
while e9s (the lower floor of this patch) requires 97~k
@obsidian patio ty
I see
485 is the base relic weapon. So it might be worth upgrading armor via tomestones where possible and aiming for the 515 weapon from emerald extreme. You can also upgrade the relic weapon to 500 and eventually beyond in later patches

!faq SSS
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
Yeah you’re outgearing an outdated fight that barely anyone does nowadays
So clearing the dummy for it doesn’t really mean anything
pat pat ;-;
Noted, thx
Your best bet is get a friend who uses act to do it for you
Yeah
Anyone experience in fashion report could suggest me any boots beside ala mighan fending Calligae??
Esp for someone who only has ARR unlocked
!fr
are you going for 80 or 100?
80 sorry.
anybody know what pant are these?
Not sure how the number works. If i buy one of the crafted headgear, would i make it to 80?
you can try using ala mihgan shoes of crafting/gathering but they are crafted only so they have to be bought on the marketboard. Otherwise, use any random shoe dyed soot black and pick one from the other 3 categories
you might also try using jet black dye instead of soot black dye
so false nails or thorax for top and gloves if you have them unlocked
since jet black gives u one additional point
over soot black
but again i dont think it's worth the trouble
can also farm gubal library for the dungeon drop for less $$
gubal drops jet black dye?
Righto ty ty
for the green gloves
Ill try to mix and match i guess 😄
the only way to get jet black dye for free(without mogstation) is from the marketboard or from retainer's ventures
ah darn. uhhh claws of the beast from Golden Saucer might work for gloves
since false nails and claws of the beast are usually interchangable
but im not 100% sure
Ok
btw
if u get 4 tries
to hit 80
so u can experiment a bit
but again, i dont think worth the time or money
since there's a new fashion report every week
and some of them are ridiculously easy to achieve
i almost even didn't do it this week, since the foot piece is kind of a hassle to get
Yes
Yes
is aesthete gear also the best gear for main-hand/off-hand?
Is it a good idea to recruit technically every applicant to your squad?
it depends
I haven't touched squads
sometimes u want specific combination of classes, but u can always change their class for an EXP penalty
sure, the difference is mostly cosmetics
also sometimes you want a certain aesthetic
you can use company seals to change the squaddie's class directly anyway
cuz your adventure squad people all look different
but aren't they sorta seen as collectibles
yea but you cant get them all so pick whoever you like
yes there is a limit
ok
and let's say you dismiss one, can you get said recruit again later?
ohh
i went for all potatoes
D:
i wish u could change the squadron sargeant tho
lol
the maelstrom one is a potato
i think i might switch GC so i wont have a potatoe for a sargeant
D:
D:
do u know what the adder or the immortal flame sargeant looks like?
can you track your progress of getting combat/trade mentor status?
yes by using the achievements log
use the crafter collectable (i made this) and gatherer collectable (i gathered this) achivement to track how many collectables you still have to get
for combat, you can track your dungeon completion with the dungeon master achivement and obviously commendations is on your character profile

Do people use the market board for fraud or something ? I'm seeing items i bought for 1000 and someone is selling it for a billion
people are free to put up joke listings and people are also free to buyout the joke listings
@leaden ginkgo it's also a way to get extra storage
since items on sale on your retainer does not take up retainer inventory space
Oh shit true
What is the cutscene or group of videos that occur before The Heroes Gauntlet? Are they in the Undending Journey?
Ok but what do people mean buy they're selling raids and Savages im the party finder ?
Thanks for the answers
my guess is some kind of RMT activity
"selling Eden's promise,blu,Ultimates, primals"
maybe a gil/cash transaction for a clear
Isn't that against tos ?
They usually sell clears for real money
And they control your account for it
SE cant do much about it cause they dont speak about such transactions in game and SE doesn't take 3rd party evidence really
So they get away with it
selling clears for gil is not against TOS unfortunately
really?
specifically selling anything for real money is against TOS
that's surprising
oh, u said gil
not real money
well if you hand them control of your account
what's to prevent them from emptying your character's gil stash?
Nothing
piloting is against TOS. but if they somehow manage to drag your ass through the fight, its not against TOS
yea but it will also ruin their reputation. There is still a risk tho
How non-viable is it to have two WHM for Eden Savage?
Its the worst healer pair
why is that
Because you have no raid wide mitigation or shields outside of temperance
And this tier hits fucking hard
Like shields are KINDA NEEDED

Like have fun healing Cycles in e11s or e12 icicles
Or having no shields for Relativity casts
You're basically down 1 healer in terms of mitigation
At least with sch/sch, you have shields and scholar itself has a very good suite of off global heals
whats the best combination?
Any non duplicate
I always thought WHM and SCH was great to cover all bases.
Correct me if I am wrong, last time I check, doesn't AST shield have some issue with crit or...?
mp
no
Ast shields don't stack with scholar
so AST is in between WHM and SCH in terms of shield potency?
But Scholar/diurnal Ast is prerty good
Ye. Regen Potency too
wh,m has no shields but a single target every 30s
All the raid buffs
Yeah
it has damage reduc tho
I was unfortunately including the thing that spreads a given shield to local party members in that, my bad.
SCH is the job i'm least familiar with.
Asylum is regen + more healing receive (high level trait) right
Yeah
Yes
SCH bubble is mitigation + regen (high level trait)
AST "bubble" is damage/burst heal on a timer.
And collective
^
Oh, my bad. Yes, collective
That's damage reduction and regen but the AST can't do anything.
yes it can
But hey, one of those two sticks around afterward.
you dont stay still for both stances
Collective is mitigation + applying regen/shield buff
You just flash it
My apologies again.
Unless you are talking the best combination measured and observed from high end raids
Tbh, any non duplicate pair are good
Yeah
So - not exactly a Q&H question but - do we have any sense of when Ishgard housing is going to arrive yet?
No
Eventually, maybe
Not even confirmed at all
^
Ugh
If anything, no earlier than 6.0
no earlier than 6.x1 probably or whatever
they wouldnt drop housing with a brand new expansion
@simple shore it's possible ishgard restoration may stop being a thing if they release housing in ishgard
no
?
so you are tradding one thing for another
they never said that
they're keeping it in
theres just no more ranking for saint titles
That seems highly unlikely that they would remove the most popular crafting feature they've ever created
Following are just my assumption: housing is not top priority feature, with covid affecting work flow, if they have to push something down the line. Housing is probably the easiest target.
is this the moogle mount, i cant tell
Yes
yes
yes
Yes, that's the moogle tribe mount
ok cool thanks
Lol
yea moogle tribes are a bit ridic
Follow up question - and i realize this is some asked and answered territory but i did just come back like a week ago or so. As i understand it, 5.4 turned auto demolish back on, yes? Has enough time passed for those to already have occurred, or is that still to come?
making you always run all the way to the other side of the map
for a quest objective
At least they don't always ask for HQ turn in
yes they do, wym
they dont?
some quests do
some have demoed, more will demo in the future
Bah, already. That means ive already missed the "wave" on that one.
Remember it just froze not reset peoples timers
Ah, that i didnt know
I assumed it was going to be a hard reset on the timers as well
So if you are 1 day away before the freeze
What's the default timer?
45 days iirc
u really didn't miss out on much, most of the plots that went available for sale, almost always had like 5+ people camping them
45 days default
Hmmm
Once you reset your timer
so you weren't guaranteed to be able to buy a plot anyway
Nah, that means the big wave probably hasnt happened yet.
There's probably a significant wave coming when that 45 runs out.
How do I suspend auto payment for my subscription without nullimg the remaining days?
just cancel it
Cancel subscription button
because that would account for everyone who quit during 2020 and never came back
On Mogstation
i wouldnt expect too many per server, or as many as you're thinking, they had a free login campaign recently
Well everyone who quit after resetting their timers
But doing that will null tue remaining days, no?
No
no?
is "the burn" considered a huge step up in difficulty from previous dungeons?
i've heard people having to do the final boss for 10+ times
Not particularly. The final boss is just hard for people.
and really its just one mechanics thats hard which people dont get
It has a dps check and some of the mechanics can be a bit rough at times
When the boss at the end disappears, sprint around the edge of the arena until you find it.
Thats basically all there is to it
Yes
I have never found it
What? There's a boss in the Burn?
From Nevereep or E11
I always just run and pray
trial account, is it limited on the palace of the dead?
You need to get close to the edge
No
trial gives you both ARR+HW
Potd is techincally HW
It was added then
Prior to trial being upgraded, trial people Could only go to floor 10
ok I saw a post it was limited to lv 10 but could not verify
other then the not being able to chat in game / free companies this is a great trial
Full limitations
yes, and just say out loud. Threw me at first how no one was talking in the city
so, does the relic replica glow?
Replicas are visually identical in every way to precisely what they're a replica of
PRECISELY
so no
oh...
the Recollections are not available in replica form
they will be when the next step is made available
ok ok
What Emu said
It will glow and match the original, just that it ain't available just yet
check the wording against the name of what you actually want
tyty
Hi! The Allahabad Tunic of Casting is a direct drop from The Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 2? And is it dyeable?
You can search it up in Garlandtools (website)
To check for its sources and whether if it is dyeable
Look for the dye icon on top right (looks like a drop of ink being poured out of a potion bottle)
Thanks!
(note: replica version will likely take 500 years to grind the mats and stats to make it)
Well it unlocks varies on relic
Arr replicas unlock at the end
Heavensward unlock at the Sharpened/light step
Stormblood and Shadowbringers are unlocked like at the start after the first upgrade
yeah... I had to finish the arr relic quest to get my step 3 replica orz
whats the best way to get crystal sand?
If you have a crafter or gatherer leveled up then the blue scrip tokens
If not, the extreme primal materials is a decently fast option with a level 80 DPS and buying whichever ones are cheap
Hi, how do I know which bait to use in the fisher quests?
The dialogue or journal usually hints or tells you outright
Worst case scenario just use the versatile lure which works on all fish at every hole
im lvl 70 @obsidian patio my gatherers are 30ish
the relic weapon from ARR, can be sold or traded?
Nope
Relics are untradeable
Basically any gear that’s not directly crafted is usually untradable
Level 70 is good enough for most, but if it’s not a healer then Ifrit might be annoying
I see thanks
I have some weapons of blue icon that cant be sold in market, cant desynth, cant turn in for company seals. What should I do with them?
just sold to any vendor/discard? Or are they worth for anything?
If they’re worse than what you have, then pretty much, yes.
What are they specifically?
Why do people undercut prices by a lot of money?
Like... there's this person who completely changed the economy of one item by undercutting it by 80k
I always found it kind of fun.
Quick sell and can like you said change the market. Feeds the ego

Some just randomly get the item from a quick venture (if applicable) and just want to sell it fast
Or the item was originally overpriced as hell due to being cheap to make and they’re wanting to shake things up
I just found out assault 1 and 2 are different spells
Is there a way to set a macro to swap between ruin 1 and 2 depending if it can be cast?
no
Macros are very dumb in this game for combat
well maybe, not too sure how it works, but you wouldn't want to do that anyway generally speaking, doesn't queue and is bad habit for when you want ot pool stuff for burst phases
i use my brain for macro 😂
So just keep draging my spells around when I get level synced
?
any spell that has multiple ranks is automatically changed when you get synced
Ruin 2 is not always better than Ruin 1
I think ruin 2 is the one that cast while repositioning right? 🤔
they're not the same skill at all
You use Ruin 1 when you don’t need to move or weave in abilities like Energy Drain and Fester
ruin 1/3 is the one that sync hehe
different cast time makes them different spells
Ruin 2 is used when you need to move or use stuff like Energy Drain/Fester
yeh
Ruin 1 will be upgraded to Ruin 3 and do more dmg as long as you cast, vs Ruin 2 to be used when you're forced to move
also upgrades to Ruin 4 with procs later on
but Ruin 1 and 2 are basically 2 "routes", you will need both on your bars
ahhh so I need to rework my hotbars and rotation
if I use the player search web site, can I see deleted or banned characters?
are you summoner or scholar?
sch doesnt have ruin 3 hehe
summoner right now I was going to look in to scholar but thats for later
oh right 🤦♂️
yeah so you'll need both buttons definitely as part of your main rotation
No
well I guess SCH too
but Ruin 2 on SCH is used to weave, while on SMN it's integral to your main rotation
even at low lvl though, Ruin 1 does 180potency, Ruin 2 does 160
so for dmg you'd use Ruin 1
when you need to move you use Ruin 2
My thought was the instant cast time would over all equil higher over all damage
the game has a lot of things like that, bigger number isn't necessarily a better version, and often just a different spell entirely
na cause they're both on the same GCD
so you cast the same amount of spells regardless
Is heavensward the only expansion required to get Ishgard Restoration or do I need to get the other expansions?
I'm on free trial as of now
only HW afaik
not really, due to the GCD
you still have to wait 2.5 seconds between casts
might as well stand still and deal more damage for those 2.5 seconds when you can
Cool. Thanks!
Anyone has a Idea, why I cant use mooch on fisher?
need a HQ fish
also not everything can be mooched
gbenerally only the smaller fishes can be mooched to catch a bigger one, but it's specific types basically
I think HQ was the reason
well if it's a fish you can mooch, then you need to catch a HQ one to mooch it
or use Mooch II if it's NQ
but if it can't be mooched, it can't be mooched
Can the leaders of an fc take decisions that have huge impact to the fc and its members?
they can steal whatever is in the FC chest, and kick people out of the FC house rooms, and obv kick people out of the FC
I think that's about it?
so as long as you don't get a room in the FC house and don't put your valuables in the FC chest, the worst thing is getting kicked out
which has no penalty
lol, yesterday my fc leader told members who donate get rewards divided in both leaders and top3 donators, today they're saying the top3 also get power to decision making.
That's 100% fishi, but I'm kinda new at the game, so I wanna be sure about what they're offering
hi!!! question, im on ps4 and when im logging in, connection says poor, is it a square enix thing? or my internet? I’m on PS4 connected to an Ethernet cable and my internet speed is 20 mb so it should be fine on my end right?
I wouldn't donate fucking shit to a FC I don't know, especially a new-ish FC
unless it's friends obviously
I wont, no worries, but I wanna see what the leaders keep saying, and also keep in check other members so they dont get robbed
some FC run events and stuff though and have actual rewards so that's nice enough
like my old FC had an event where you had to find various officers in specific spots in the world based on pictures of the place, and at the end they gave mounts and glamours and what not which was fun
Try over in #technology-discussion
also you might be logged in the wrong datacenter?
if you connect to japan from europe, it's... not great, obv
Yeah, maybe its ur speed, having NAT2 helps too.
@lavish vortex try !faq datacenterip at #kupo-bot-spam
and check out which connection + playtime suits you
each region has their peak time, match it with your playtime and then consider the ping ^.^
so you won't have trouble queueing and finding a party
when you buy the 20$ standard edition for this game on PS4, does it act like the free trial on PC where its sub free and locked at 60 content?

no, the trial does that
if you buy the game, you get the free month to start with as usual but after that you need to pay a sub, and you can't switch back to trial
there's a trial on PS4 too, you can start that instead
is there a way to do the feast without waiting for 1 hour
when you're completely new to ffxiv, the entire ff franchise, and mmos in general on top of having 0 friends also in the game

Does gshade for ff14 have any potential of getting me ban?
How can I use /gpose to take pictures of actions, like weapon skills? Do I need to perform the action then immediately activate gpose?
none unless you scream "I HAB GSHADE ALL UR SHADERS ARE BAD"
ahh ok
when you activate /gpose, it allows you to repeat the last used animation. i think there are ways to do hard to activate stuff like limit break but im not well-versed in gpose
np, lemme just delete it
anyone got a good gshade preset?
hello! I'm super new to the game, and I came from WoW, so I have some noob-ish questions! first of all: when you get to the end game, what are the main activities? in WoW for example it is raids, PvP, and Mythic+
Savage and Ultimates are the main endgame
Savage: harder versions of the Normal/Story/LFG raid which have unique mechanics
Ultimate: remixed versions of previous expansion raid sets/story bosses(usually) with high mechanical complexity, and no checkpoints
And then there's extreme trials which are harder versions of trials, basically
Alliance Raids are more or less the same difficulty as normal/story raids
hmmm and what are trials?
basically raids, but not associated with the specific raid tier.
Raids have a story and trials have a story but trials is usually one per patch
Trials are one fight with their own loot pool
While raids are 4 every even patch
Raids are one fight, but they come in group of 4
And share loot drops in the same group
Alliance raid are very different from normal raid
oooh got it! are there dungeons as well?
Yes
not mythic dungeons
but yes there's dungeons
They're not really used for gear outside of specific circumstances, like getting BiS for a specific ultimate raid (Shadowbringers first Ultimate to be specific)
Alliance raid are 24 players PvE contents, 3 groups of 8, Alliance raid has 3 raid per series. We have 4 series, one per expansion
If I may, I can explain this from the other end
OK, to get BiS (best in slot) gear
You need to get a mix of Tomestone gear and Savage raid gear
Savage raid is the savage difficulty version of normal raid. 8 players, and has weekly lock out
Tomestone gear you can purchase by spending a high end Tomestone, which you earn from doing endgame activities like raids, trials, Alliance raids, dungeons etc, you can only earn 450 of this tomestone per week
As is, tomestone gear is slightly weaker than savage raid gear, so you will need to get items to augment them once so they will match the item level of Savage gear. These upgrade items are dropped directly by savage raid as part of the loot pool, but can be acquired from alliance raid later (via a slightly different method)
Everything else: trials, raid (normal), alliances raids, are alternative sources of gears for players who don't want to commit to getting BiS or don't want to attempt savage raid
ah i see! so the gear treadmill works around being ready for the savage raid then
kinda? The gear treadmill is mainly focusing on getting to maximum item level and then BiS
There's no RNG in gear for the most part. (There used to be in Heavensward but it's been phased out due to the zone that dropped it being changed entirely.)
Gears don't come with RNG stats
that's great, I'm getting sick of the RNG on WoW
So I have heard
Ah yes, Diablo 3 of Warcraft
but yeah this game is very stable in terms of everything really
so it's very reliable if you're looking to move over
But that does become a point of criticism by a few
A new raid tier is the same process, just with new coat of paint
But they do make the raids very mechanically challenging
And always seems to have new mechanics for players to learn and dance around on
that's great! I've been playing as Gladiator and wanting to be Paladin! I main tanks on WoW so it was a natural choice xD
ty for the info! it was super useful!
👍
Have fun
for anima light farming,we have to equip the relic weapon right? in A9S
yeah you can use a good weapon, then equip it before leaving to get the light on it
but if you forget, you don't get shit so if you're lazy just leave it on, even with bad weapon it dies super fast
So I recently just learnt about parsing and realised that mine are, to put it plainly, pretty terrible. Is there anything I can do about it on PS4 or will I forever be at the mercy of some random dude that will always, without fail, upload my worst clears.

There are options to set yourself to private
but you can just BE terrible. unless you do something that truly matters. Who cares?
Yeah I guess. But part of me thinks it may be useful since it might be able to help me figure why I'm terrible. But since I'm on PS4, the only way for me to get parse data would to be in a party with someone on PC that's using it right?
Yes
That said
Are you following any rotation guide?
Another thing you can do is compare your log to someone else's on the same job, and see what's the difference between yours and theirs: do they use a certain skill significantly more than you, do you have the same timing in using specific ability as them, etc
if they are clears that aren't awful, someone usually uploads them.
also, throw your clears that someone else has uploaded into xivanalysis
what would be the best class that pairs with a samurai? buddy is running samurai and i wanna run with him using a class that pairs well with it.
kinda like how tanks and healers should go hand in hand.
in endgame or just for leveling?
so he got the lvl 70 boost for samurai but not the storyline boost.
so wed be playing thru the story but already have lvl 70 characters.
okay
if you've already boosted a character
i'd suggest you level another job
through the msq
cos the msq gives you enough xp to level one job
Kinda? I just checked and my rotation is 90% the same as the guide minus a few differences that shouldn't be making to big of a difference
well im new too lol. i planned on just boosting the class to 70 since the things are on sale. i was just wondering if any classes paired well with the samurai
I'll try this, although i kinda don't even know how to use the site lol
i'd suggest being a healer or tank, in that case. for queue times sake more than anything
its kind of pointless
But as long as you guys are happy...
cos you can't do content at lvl 70 with a boosted job
as everything is locked behind the story
I'm a brainlet, I have no idea what this is or how to do it
okay well aside from the boosting. what job goes well with samurai lol
xivanalysis is a website where you paste an fflog url and it'll analyze it for you
and give you suggestions
go to fflogs, open your log, copy it and go to xivanalysis
oh really?
Will you trust me if I say in the grant scheme of things, it doesn't matter
for queue times for dungeons
Yeah, tank/healer for faster queue, that's it
lol i figured it didnt matter but i was thinking some things just clicked together better than others, ya know?
yeah in this game, not really
There is no "if this pairs with samurai, Samurai can kill even the Gods themselves" job, if that's what you were thinking
Okay I'll try that, but for it to be useful, I would need up to date parses right?
ok
just from this tier is fine
just throw one in and see if what it's suggesting is something you are already doing now instead of before
I would say that if you aren't feeling it on becoming a healer
Doing tank is a good choice
Tank plays like Dps
You just need to learn some additional things like aggro, how to group enemies to let your party member nuke them efficiently
Where to place/aim a boss, and how to use your defensive skill correctly
anyone want to level
@sturdy sundial feel free to take a screenshot if you want us to give you some pointers
Lvling is boring
ikr
so other than summoner, do any other jobs summon?
ive heard summoner is a shit job.
of the fflogs page or the xivanalysis page?
XIV analysis
None of them are
Whoever said that is... Forgive my bluntness, is a moron
lol
Scholar (a healer) summons fairy
Scholar (Healer Job) and Summoner (DPS Job) are unique in that they branch off the Arcanist (DPS class)
All of them summons
i have no idea what to screenshot so here's a link https://xivanalysis.com/fflogs/AqCTrmhgzvGwKj2d/36/610
I think that's the best one I've got
Arcanist summons carbuncle, Scholar summon fairy, Summoner summons primal Egi.
I need to go get laundry, can anyone here help Browncloak out
tomestone for lv50-60-70 gear are no longer used for lv80 one?
lv80 is weekly-gated?
only 1
I think the Checklist in xivanalysis is probably what you want to take a look at first
yeah
I think just reading through everything would still be a good idea, just to get a sense of places that can improve your parse
Based on what im seeing on that, you're just flat out not doing the standard opener/rotation.
Note: for samurai in particular. XIVanalysis inncorrectly asks you to cast Hagakure. zero sks samurai's don't even need to use it
Busy for a few minutes but if you cant find it on The Balance i'll get it for you when im done.
so its incorrect on that front
lol really? i'll admit, before today, the last time I checked a rotation video was maybe 5.1 lol
but from the video I watched today, it didn't seem that far off 😕
what video? 🤔
Wake the Fu.. up Samurai, we got a Balancing to burn...and of course, test out, if the Samurai can still hold up against the Monk and Black Mage !

desperius 😂
yeah desperius is kinda a memelord rather than rotation expert
can check out #kupo-bot-spam and type !faq sam
you'll get the resources there hehe
lol well he had the most views so i went with him
or go to the balance. !faq balance will get you there
veiws =/= information
youtube is a fickle mistress.
when in doubt, go to the balance
you're not wrong, but when the only others videos have 1.2k and 200 views then I'm going to have to trust the dude with 22k views
that is a fallacy
Uh... so, how does a person enter eureka?
Have you done the quest to unlock it?
the entry is at kugane's port hehe
a quest in the stormblood hub area
"And We Shall Call it Eureka", right? If so, yes, I have
then talk to the person at kugane's port ^.^
Thanks!
Should be an NPC on the Kugane docks.
good luck in eureka
also, my opener for SAM is pretty much identical to that, only i swapped aorund the flower things with the moon one (as in the order is swapped). but everything else is that same.
based of the rotation guide i just saw that is
flower?
Sen
the pink one with the flower petals
i cant remember the name
i remember it as "the flower one, the moon thing, and the ice one"
blue/green/pink sticker is my thing. kek
but yeah you're waiting on the Meikyo which is probably wrong.
if you are doing exactly what the rotation tells you and you are doing it correctly, then you don't have to worry ^.^
it might be your ilvl is below average or maybe melding/stats priority
lol my way of remembering the positionals is that the enemy is mooning you, hence you using the moon thing from the rear
but I only samurai for giggles. Im a tank main
and keep rolling ur gcd
i was MNK for the longest time but i got tired of losing my stacks during cutscenes so I've been looking for something new to play. i've leveled SAM, BLM, DRK, NIN, and GNB. I actually like NIN the most but I acidentally bought on of the SAM pieces so I just wen't all in and I'll stick with it until 5.5 lol
i know MNKs don't have GL stacks anymore but now I feel like its boring to play so I'm just sticking with SAM
lets beat around the bush. Browncloak. Do you have any intention of going into savage content?
or are you just playin' this game for funsies?
he cleared 3 alredy lol
NIN is by far the most fun for me though, although I kinda want to try SMN
how difficult is ninja?
Those logs are normal @west spruce
No thats fine. not everyone wants to do savage
true
i've done a few but not while they're recent. i want to, but i either never have time or don't have good gear so i rarely have a chance to do them. I've done a couple extremes though, but I don't have a group to play with anymore since I moved from Shiva to Tonberry so that's made things more difficult
kinda rough to learn but everyone loves a good ninja player.
i think its easy but chances are i'm playing it wrong
Did you want to actively move into a savage raiding lifestyle tho?
or are you content just chillin?
Remember. its not mandatory
you can just chill
i would say no since i don't even know what that is lol
Then your dps doesn't matter
Hah, that's pretty similar to how i approach the class. When i was learning the SAM opener/rotation i wrote it out as "speed combo, damage combo, ice combo" because fuck SAM ability names.
but i kinda want to sometimes
you do rotations. you hit boss. it'll kill anything that you do.
especially between patches when there's not much else to do but i still want to play the game
it's not something that you want to do sometimes 😂
it needs dedication and time, not really instant gratification thing
Unless you push content that requires actual performance then it doesn't matter
Dank's right. stepping in and out is difficult
lol yeah, i probably won't have the time for it
you either want to push the content and clear. or you don't have the time/resources/paitence/whatever
then I repeat. it doesn't matter.
whoevers putting up logs for normals is a bit of a tryhard tbh.
but i do want to do extremes, they're fun
That's the thing, savage content is always be there haha. So you can take it really slow or fast it depends on the people
if you want to avoid people picking on you (which btw is reportable directly to gms, as use of the combat tracker program is not allowed to be used to berate people)
you can set your fflogs profile to private
I don't think he said someone picking on him, hehe. He was being self concious because someone else uploaded his parse
Right well thats a personal problem
just understand that it doesn't really matter. hit boss, have fun, try not to die

lol i've only ever had one person mention it, but that was more during the actual fight and not so much my actual previous stuff. still, at least i know how to improve
the grey really is unsightly though 
you can actually report the person if he use it to grief you, lol
^
ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker) and FFLogs are a "don't ask, don't tell" situation with the devs
don't parade around claiming "wow hes bad cause of X log" all the time
and they won't clamp down on its usage
if someone IS doing that. reporting them is a good way to get them out of our community
we don't need that shit in here. We're not fuckin' WoW
Eh, i have no problem with log shaming people. Just dont do it in game.
ah okay, well hopefully it doesn't happen again but at least I know I can do something about it now
As long as you keep it out of in-game you're safe
I don't mind if someone gives suggestions, it just depends on how they say it
Arn't you just a chipper little friend Bal :/
when is weekly reset?
check out #kupo-bot-spam and type !reset
20 minutes tho
Is it known if housing timer rng resets on the second, minute or top of the hour?
is there a hidden nerf when you mass hand in leves? I was doing some dwarven mythril files and I have a less amount of gil and fire crsytals several times in a row instead of the ingot rewards I got earlier on
No, reward is randomised
What do people find is the best way to farm poetics outside of the roulette?
!faq poetics
Thanks!
thanks for all the advice btw
is there a way to invert the LMB and RMB?
within the game, don't think so, but with some external mouse software probably yeah
question abt pld, im still level 70 but for requiescat phase its goring blade -> req -> holy spirit x5 -> conf right
but so far the 5th holy spirit has always been outside req so I thought I couldnt get the confetti out in time, will my casting speed be increased later?
ah ok
the only way to improve casting speed is to build spell speed
but isnt that do bigger dmg when im out of mana tho
but you definitely don't want to meld that
usually you cast 3 holy spirits to keep your rotation in a more tightly lined 60s loop
if you're missing the 5th holy spirit, make sure you'rewaiting to like the last 1/3rd or so of th gcd till you use requiescat
ah ok
it also costs 2k mana to confiteor
so you don't have enough to do 12k mana worth of casts
confiteor basically replaces your last holy spirit
i see
and when you get atonement that becomes more powerful than holy spirits so you drop 1 to get more atonements out per minute in that sense
but rn i do 5 holy spirits right
yes
from the warrior guide but same thing applies for holy spirit
!faq weaving
you want the second weave window generally for self buffs like that
this applies for Fight or Flight as well
okay thank you!
what do i do with all the excess gear i have like lvl 60 gears ? my inventory and retainer inventory is also full from gathering materials how do i tell which one is useless
sell items from retainer inventory > check current listing prices
though in general.. if you're not using it then it's useless, and if you got it by accident then it's almost definitely as easy to get once you end up needing it again so in 99% cases you can just sell/discard it for now
if it's green/blue/pink gear you can turn them in to GC for seals
and for gear switch onto other jobs you have and gear them with the highest ilvl you have, check if you want to save anything else for glamour and get rid of the rest
I've basically stopped keeping mats that I can buy directly from NPCs
What do you need help with specifically?
having a group to finish the quest and farm some of its material for gears
I recommend party finder for that.
if its just the normal mode
you can use duty finder and its part of trial roulette
its only the extreme version that requires a party finder set up
i see ,thank you
The extreme version can also be done unsync at level 80, which makes it way easier
any tips for what i could be doing to get efficient exp while waiting for me dungeon queue to pop?
im 71 now, leveling dancer, i never really leveled an alt
ive been doing hunts and the odd side quest
hunts are over sort of quickly and side quests give really underwhelming exp
the problem is that i just finished stormblood expansion and started monster hunter quest,, didnt unlock extreme yet :(
do fates in shb while you wait in que, could do sidequests while you wait or level a gatherer or crafter
Ah I see
could also do bozja if you got it unlocked
bozja?
Well do your normal quest then, it gets you a minion
ah, i havent got it yet
I was talking to Hajya_Games lol
i was talking about this bozja, which i guess is a duty i can repeat
sorry, i didnt mean to jump into another conversation
How do I get glowing weapons?
serious answers only please
Bozja is for your ShB relic's upgrade
there are a couple kinds of glowing weapons oz
Which weapon are you thinking of in particular?
sorry
they come from the deep dungeons, a few of them at least
crafted weapons which can be purchased from the market board
deep dungeon ones which require completion of palace of the dead or heaven on high
or the relic weapons
which have a long series of steps involved to improve and create them
And also some trial weapons
and some of the lv50 extreme trial weapons
then i'll do that later cause there is nobody right unfortunately and thanks for the info :)
the hard mode ones usually have a mild/non-existent glow
Yeah
I'm also pretty sure Ultima weapons have a glow
But that's Ultimate content lol
ultimate weapons have a glow as well but they're technically rehashes of relic weapons
Ye
I am overwhelmed with Blue+sign quest after I am done with ARR storyline.
That's because there's a lot of post ARR dungeons
it's likely he means the deep dungeon ones, i'd say those have the most striking glowing effect
if so, they take quite a long time to acquire
gods help him, if he means the eureka weapons
Eureka weapons aren't the hardest to grind
Just do FATEs
Zodiac weapons are hell to upgrade
That's what I am doing rn cuz didn't find anymore glowing gear to now
Should I buy the Aug. Ironworks mon weapon and then start working on relic weapon?
Any ideas of the glowing weapons you want in particular?
No, just get the Aug Ironworks
The ARR relics are only useful for completionists
only for looking pretty
Yes
statwise, its useless. yes
Idk any other.. Pretty new to the game haha just so many ppl looking good af so I asked
What's your level and where are you in the story?
Glowing and oversized weapons are cringe bro. My NIN has Vampire Knives as glam. Two daggers with a nice bluish hue to them. Sun dancing off of then just nice
Gonna take an to the farmers market....
I only started to make my Paladin Zodiac weapon at level 70 lol, do the same
🆗🆒
Lv 76 whm story around 65
Keep doing your story then, if I were you I'd care about my looks later
this is questions and help not give your opinion without assistance 🙂

Sorry man. I'll never do it again
No. I tried that one. It doesn't work.
kept getting error 6d
And I know this pc can run it.
I played VR chat on this thing.
Like are you unable to install or lauch
I assume I need flight to reach this spot of the map?
👍 thanks
what is the command for savage loots?
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
for SMN, is there a command to make the phoenix size smaller
nope
get shire
once you finish heavensward (the quest, heavensward) you will get access to shire gear
Ty
you buy it with poetics
then once you finish stormblood, again the quest stormblood, you can get scaeven
ooo glove drop in e10s nice
there's a person called rowena's representative in heavensward main city, and another in stormblood main city
(near the aetheryte) 🙂
Tyvm
Basically you can get level 50 stuff from rowena representative in any of the 3 ARR main cities
60 from the Rowena representative in Ishgard
and 70 in Kugane
theyre not up to there o.o
Kugane is featured prominently in the Stormblood trailer, we try not to be too hard on publicly avaliable from SE "spoilers"

Cities are also barely a spoiler in itself.
Reached lvl 20 on the free trial and need some advice, should I grind to lvl 60 and then buy the game or what should I do?
If you don’t mind the trial restrictions you can wait until you hit 60 from doing the story
!faq freetrial
Most of the limitations are social stuff and retainers, which act as your bank for items
But if I would buy the game for example now, I would get more out of it cause I could join a FC and do stuff with other peoples right?
Hey all! I'm about a week new to the game. Is Gil pretty easy to come by? I've bee taking a look at the auction house and there's so much I want to get (Like the pegasus night whistle). I'm only in the first expansion right now, so I'm guessing gil won't be that easy to come buy till the level 80 range?
Yes. But if you don’t mind that then there’s no immediate need to buy the game
For very expensive items like that, you’ll definitely want to be at level cap
there are also very little gil sinks in the game so you will normally accrue gil as you level unless you blow it all on fashion
That's good to know. I've noticed I'm already at about 400k! So only 16 million 500k left!
old event items go on mogstation mostly
mostly a few days before the new event, so moonfire stuff from 2019 is on mogstation around the 2020 event
Kinda mad I missed the 2020 summer event, the glam from it is kinda lit
Hi All. So I last played when..heavensward was in full swing.. so 2016? Is there any great refreshers to what's changed/happened since?
is it possible to add tenants to apartments, or just housing?
Where can I get the best gear that isn’t acquired by doing savage content?
i think next best should be cryptlurker which is the tomestones ones at 520 ilevel
so just do daily roulette and etc, will take some weeks due to caps but u dont need to do savage e9s+ to get the 530+ ones
^ and the casual way to upgrade those will be the third nier raid in 5.5
One coin from every raid
