So the actual world chosen doesn't mean anything unless you pick a preferred one for exp boost?

faint flare
Not
Server choice is drastically reduced due to everything being cross server
And world visit
little swift
it only really limits what player guilds (free companies) you can join, what people you see in the overworld, what housing is available (if at all), and what player marriages you can attend
faint flare
^
dire prawn
Oh so even if I pick Midgard I could still visit Sarg for example
little swift
but for the 2nd one
faint flare
Guilds and housing is the biggest parts
little swift
just visit another world 🤷♂️
faint flare
But not super major
dire prawn
player marriages 🤔
little swift
attending them gets you free cosmetic stuff 🤷♂️
dire prawn
oh
little swift
you'd have to be invited anyways 🤷♂️
dire prawn
Oh okay
umbral hollow
what do you think is the best role for a chocobo companion?
slate arrow
DPS with some Healer in free stance
forest sage
tank is useless, and 4 heal is enough for the good stuff(choco regen and choco cure)
I'd aim at getting the 4heal maybe early if you want to solo boss FATEs and stuff
otherwise just regen is enough(1pt)
chocobo is optional though, can do all intended for solo content just fine without it, just goes faster for pretty much free since ghysals are so cheap anyway when you can use it
like there's people playing this game for 6years that still haven't bothered maxing their chocobos
forest sage
completely irrelevant
dire prawn
Irregardless of what class you're picking?
forest sage
yeah
I mean technically some races might be very very very slightly better, but that wouldn't even translate to a 1% increase
probably not even .5%
forest sage
and since you'll be playing the character for a long time, picking something you like is a lot more useful
dire prawn
So it literally doesn't matter
slate arrow
the current stats are like ~4000 and race stats differ like 5 points at most
forest sage
yeah I guess it's 0% nowadays
scarlet arrow
the differences between races maybe come out to a +5 total swing in a stat. I have over 5000 main stat on my main
play what looks cool
faint flare
And those points wont push yoy to a new stat tier
scarlet arrow
and racial abilities aren't a thing either
forest sage
nope
dire prawn
On an unrelated note my fixation on cute cat girls has ended
Because I've made the discovery that Au Ra are actually adorable
forest sage
also worth noting, once you reach the 50MSQ and clear it you'll get a fantasia, in case you want to change your race/don't like your choices
dire prawn
My Au Ra is 5'0 
forest sage
fantasia potions basically let you redo the char creation, minus the name
slate arrow
:hmmm:
dire prawn
The base Au Ra it's giving me is cute af I can't handle this
Oh and now she's dancing during character creation
This is adorable
I love this game already
scarlet arrow
😄
dire prawn
Wait I can have pigtails on her
God save me I'm gonna spend like half an hour just in character creation
little swift
only half an hour
dire prawn
Maybe longer cause I just discovered the shorter hair styles
slate arrow
#general-discussion or something lmao
dire prawn
I would but they're discussing Genshin Impact
little swift
just ping a mod
dire prawn
Oh wait are they done now
slate arrow
doesn't mean you get to use questions and help as discussion 2 :p
dire prawn
Oh I think they're done actually
Wait do I have to set five different voice types
Or am I just picking one 🤔
slate arrow
just one
little swift
they give you a sample of emotes and how the voice sounds in them as well
things like cheer/anger/etc
dire prawn
Ohh
little swift
and there are 15 voices essentially
its a mix of japanese and english voice acting
some of them sound more pleasant during battle as well
dire prawn
I picked one of the giggling voices that sounds more japanese to me
zinc orbitBOT
dire prawn
And now we're at the actually important part
Class selection 
Is there a guide anywhere that goes over each of the starting classes and their specialties as well as the job they advance into later on, like Lancer -> Dragoon, Archer -> Bard, etc.?
torn heart
Hi, I used to play back in 2013 and made it to coil turn 1 or 2 before i quit. I played a monk and had the lvl maxed out.. currently im still downloading the game.. and I added 30 days to my time. would you recommend continuing on with my monk or starting from scratch? would I need to buy the 2 expansions to continue leveling my monk?
forest sage
you can play heavensward right away
it was added to the base game
as for restarting or not that's kinda up to you, if you have attachment to the character or don't care, and if you want to redo the story or not
and I said you can play HW, but actually you'll need to do 2.1 to 2.55 MSQ first
just you don't need to buy expansions for now
torn heart
is msq the coil?
forest sage
MSQ is main story quests
dire prawn
I googled it and that was also the first thing that popped up
forest sage
it's somewhat decent tbh
torn heart
I dont remember what all classes the game launched with.. are their new job classes that are interesting to play?
forest sage
there's a ton of new jobs, as for interesting, gonna depend on the player obv
scarlet arrow
dire prawn
Why do Healers have so many damage spells jesus
faint flare
So they can actually solo
warm lily
To survive solo
faint flare
Also its much less than previous expansions
scarlet arrow
also mostly their damage spells upgrade previous spells rather than add new ones
faint flare
healers are just a nuke, dot, one aoe and maybe one or two other things
forest sage
they have like 4dmg spells though
a nuke, a dot, an aoe and sometimes an instant
and hybrid spells that do dmg/heals sometimes too I guess
99% of healer DPS is press one button, and refresh your dot
torn heart
thank you for that video. I already got hyped i can basically be squall in ff8.. gunblade class it is.
forest sage
have to be 60 and have ShB to play gunbreaker though
torn heart
ok
forest sage
so you'll probably have to pick something else inbetween
they start at 60, so you can just switch over when you get there
with no loss
torn heart
so use my 50 monk to get 60 and buy shb expansion?
forest sage
that'd be the shortest path yeah
torn heart
and my gunblade class will start at 60?
wintry chasm
Yeah
dire prawn
Why do Archers/Bards have so many DoTs 
wintry chasm
It also comes with okay level 60 gear minus accessories. You'll want to get the shire accessories asap
silver ruin
Why do Healers have so many damage spells jesus
they have like 3 or 4 at the most lmao
wintry chasm
Depends on the healer
warped nest
That's their design
silver ruin
yea sch has art of war, broil, biolysis, energy drain
whm has holy, glare, whatever the hell the dot is and assize
ast has like 3 4, forgot earthly star
dire prawn
Well
Now I'm stuck between choosing Archer or choosing Conjurer
Or Thaumaturgist and just nuking everything
little swift
i'd go with conjurer if you want quicker dungeon queues
otherwise if you don't mind
then a dps is fine as well
dire prawn
I've been told that trying to queue as dps while leveling is hell
little swift
its not as bad as it was before
forest sage
queues can depend a bunch
scarlet arrow
tbh I've found that it's not as bad as people make it out
silver ruin
yea it was worse
forest sage
but it is definitely still worse as DPS
little swift
increase in general population
polar hound
Its only hell if youre impatient and/or just standing there waiting
little swift
has made it quicker overall
polar hound
It is longer, but theres stuff to do in the meantime.
dire prawn
On an unrelated note none of y'all would happen to play on Midgardsormr would you
scarlet arrow
you might have to wait 10 minutes and do FATEs while you wait
faint flare
Zone events
scarlet arrow
basically a public quest that pops up on the map
faint flare
Purple circles on the map
dire prawn
Wait when you're queued up for dungeons you can still go do other stuff???
scarlet arrow
yes
polar hound
You can even swap and level crafters
faint flare
You'll be asked to change back when que pops
forest sage
you can't do other instanced stuff though, like no dungeon or whatever
but you can do crafting or your beast tribes or fates or whatever

i have a random question. i am a blm and just learned about opener sequence vs. rotation sequence. what's the point in changing to a rotation sequence? wouldn't it be best to just spam opener over and over and that be the main rotation?
faint flare
You move into your rotation while waiting for everything to realign again for reopeners
scarlet arrow
Midgard is closed ;-;
wait for off-peak hours

ah!! thank you that makes sense!!!
dire prawn
wait for off-peak hours
When are off-peak hours
forest sage
well if it's closed closed, that won't help, not sure about the pops
faint flare
Rotations are just a cycle of abilities you do. Openers are optimised skill usages at start of fights and whenever stuff realigns
scarlet arrow
When are off-peak hours
when most people are asleep/at work

that status changes dynamically with current server population

you can try again later, best during the mornings and such, or check another server
past sinew
Need some quick advice. I have plenty of Gil to spare, so I'm gonna get Crystal Sand with the discontinued Materias. Remind me of the Astral based Materia needed?
silver ruin
yea what pyros said
scarlet arrow
so when fewer people are online you'll be able to make a new character there
forest sage
if you don't have a reason to specifically play this one
scarlet arrow
preferred worlds generally are locked to new characters during peak hours because, well, people want that road to 70 buff
dire prawn
I guess I can come back before I go to bed and make a cute cat girl when it's like 3 AM for NA
forest sage
yeah it's somewhat counterintuitive, but also means it works
that's how they keep worlds pop somewhat balanced
unlike wow with dead servers and merges and shit
warped nest
The exp buff from preferred world is fantastic for leveling multiple jobs, but it is not a must
scarlet arrow
also once you have a character on a server you'll be able to log in any time, you might just have to wait in queue for a minute or two
warped nest
You can still do story with a job, as you will be fed enough exp to keep up
dire prawn
I've also been told if I do one class on preferred worlds I end up hideously outscaling MSQ
warped nest
And leveling other jobs on the side is never difficult anyway
scarlet arrow
it's only creating new characters where it gets a bit wonky
forest sage
yeah you will if you don't switch around
warped nest
I've also been told if I do one class on preferred worlds I end up hideously out...
That is correct
forest sage
on the flipside preferred is great if you're planning on lvling several things, especially gathering/crafting classes
warped nest
You need to have 2-3 jobs to absorb the exp, if you don't wish to be over level
forest sage
since it's double xp on everything
warped nest
Yup, but I still want to say that even without, it isn't that bad to begin with
For example, the rough estimate of leveling another combat job is "7 dungeon runs for 2 level"
But the bonus is very nice to have if you planned to do multiple jobs while doing story, so if you can, make arrangement to wake up in odd hours and make a character
But don't beat yourself up if you can't

You can't put bound items in FC chests, right?

thank you
marble drift
Notice on gear it'll say who can wear it

HW gear kinda doesn't
marble drift

forest sage
accessories in HW are "all classes"
marble drift
yeah. glad they put a stop to that
final steeple
Notice on gear it'll say who can wear it
the coffer doesn't show
forest sage
well it somewhat made sense then, although it meant tanks all used slaying too
marble drift
wish we could now. the ilvl 520 tome ring for tanks is utter garbage
dire prawn
I've finally started FFXIV
forest sage
I think I prefer them having set stuff so you don't have terrible geared tanks using DPS accessories cause it's meta and not popping cds even though they have the same hp as DPS
bardam's mettle with tanks in unupgraded shire with DPS accessories is not something I want to see ever again
marble drift
well they used to for damage anyway but to combat that they class locked them all and made everything gives main stat + vit

I've been having this issues with my account for days and I was wondering if any of you could help me out
I can't transfer to the full version of the game. I keep getting this i2501 error code
I've tried waiting inbetween attempts and I've tried making different Square Enix accounts and nothing seems to work. My game is stuck in the trial version it seems

I had that too, a different computer and using Microsoft Edge fixed it for me. I'd try different computers/tablets/phones and browsers. Someone else here had the problem too recently but not sure how he fixed it.
leaden ginkgo

In the context of registering the game, i2501 is a very general error with lots of potential solutions that may or may not work

Once my trial is up, I don't know if I'll even be able to play this game anymore ;w;
obsidian patio
They’re pretty self-explanatory, you gather items and craft
Gathering is simple as you just click nodes to get the items
narrow arch
They’re pretty self-explanatory, you gather items and craft
But like is there combat? Is fishing a minigame like animal crossing? I honestly have no idea what the main idea is. What sort of things do you craft?
obsidian patio
Crafting revolves around using your actions to fill the progress bar while also filling the quality bar as much as possible for more experience and the chance at HQ
They don’t do combat at all.
warped nest
Crafting is not a simple A + B = C
obsidian patio
Each crafting class makes different items
warped nest
As what Wynne said, you have a few things to consider : your CP (your mana for crafting skill)
Progress: this must hit 100 percent for an item to be produced
obsidian patio
warped nest
Quality: more quality means higher chance for an item to be HQ 
obsidian patio
This post I made a while back gives a general overview of which crafting class makes what
warped nest
Durability: each time you use an action to improve progress or quality, the durability of your craft goes down, if durability hits 0, and you didn't hit full progress, the craft fails, and the ingredients will be lost (low probability to recover them)

So I'm new to ffxiv and have been multi classing and getting a lot of my secondary classes to 50 as I've now have reached Heavensward and hope to alternate classes on MSQs until their all at the level cap ive done every class except healer and decided to go with Astrologian but between the cards and buffs I'm so frustrated and confused and the guides I've seen have only added on to my confusion can someone please or explain this class to me so I'm not screwing my role and dont have any issues with teammates when I start doing duties ?
faint flare
Keep people alive, they dont need to be full hp
Draw and play cards every 30s
Dps when possible
Look at your job gauge when you draw a card...blue boarders go to melees, purple go to range
forest sage
card UI tells you which card you get and who to use on, it's been a while and I can't switch atm but iirc blue dot > melee, purple dot > ranged
and then there's a little moon, sun and star, and you want all 3
slate arrow
Blue Outline and Purple Outline
faint flare
Use essential dignity as your First line of healing, not last
slate arrow
but yes
leaden ginkgo
So watch peoples hp , occasionally do damage and just draw cards and when cards are blue target them to melee and when cards are purple target them to range ?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
If you're not doing anything, dps
Again people dont need to be full hp
Do dps until they drop low
Essential dignity
robust crow
astrologian isn't hard to grasp
forest sage
yeah but you want to assemble the 3 little signs for the aoe dmg cooldown, so say you draw moon, and you already have moon, you redraw and hope you get something else you don't have. And if you have all 3/no redraw, you can use Lord/Lady to make the card stronger, and then buff the relevant class with it
faint flare
Then dps again until you need to benefic
robust crow
they're just busy
obsidian patio
Damage is very scripted and doesn’t require fast reactions for the most part, especially for dungeons
little swift
In terms of spell based healing use benefic ii over benefic when its available to you
Don't worry too much about mana efficency
Its more about how much you heal per cast
faint flare
Oh yeah, Lucid dreaming
For mana
Cards also give you mana as well
Mana shouldnt be an issue at all if you actively use those skills
forest sage
might be easier to start healers with whm to get healer basics, before you do SCH/AST which have a bit more going on on top of the basic healing
halcyon hinge
is there a way to instantly lose aggro of a FATE boss that you synced down for?
crimson crystal
run away
halcyon hinge
my queue popped but i was doing a FATE on another class
marble drift
get out of fate range
halcyon hinge
i couldnt switch classes
i started running the other way
and i didnt lose aggro for the entire 45 seconds
the boss had de-rendered on my screen
marble drift
once you leave the fate range it should unsync you
halcyon hinge
i couldnt even see it
but i still had aggro
i ran halfway across the map
for 45 seconds and could not lose aggro
crimson crystal
yeah in general try not to be engaged with battle on a class different than what you queued for
for that reason
halcyon hinge
thats really silly...
crimson crystal
kinda lame yeah
halcyon hinge
i thought leaving the FATE range and unsyncing would do it
the boss wasnt even doing anything, just standing there cos no targets
but i still had aggro
how long does penalty last for?
30min?
crimson crystal
I think so
halcyon hinge
mightaswell get my 20 leves done then
crimson crystal
one penalty doesn't really matter tbh
halcyon hinge
ah nah this is my 3rd penalty today i think, my internet went down after reset
that was the 1st time
and 2nd and 3rd was both locked in FATE aggro
i guess ill just make sure to be on the class im queueing as

I am discovering that I do a surprising amount of damage for being a Healer with two damage spells at Lv 6
warped nest
Later in game, there are some solo instances where you need to fight stuffs alone or with NPC helper
So the dev made sure no matter what you choose to play, you can dish out damage to clear these story related battles
warped nest
Yup
whole wasp
Thats actually the easiest way since you cant really die
warped nest
For solo contents, tanks, healers, and DPS are somewhat balanced
whole wasp
Dps classes have limited self-healing so they gotta kill the mobs before they run out of HP.
dire prawn
I just remembered that I have a DoT spell 
warped nest
Tanks is stronger than healer, but weaker than Dps in terms of damage, but they are bulky
What smug said about DPS
dire prawn
I kept using the spell for its instant damage and just remembered it has a DoT effect
warped nest
Healer is weaker in damage compared to tank or Dps, but they can heal themselves whenever necessary
analog gate
healers deal more damage than tanks if they don't heal at all afaik
whole wasp
Nope

Tank still higher

leaden ginkgo
You can get them from grand company seals.
okay ill look into how to get those. thank you
little swift
Thats not an accurate comparison chronos since they don't scale the same
Misery is 4gcds worth of casts for 900 pot
On single target you lose 1 glare worth of damage if your sole purpose was to smash heals out for it
slate arrow
It's a reward for using your lilies to heal rather than using cure
warped nest
Even ignoring stat scale, there are a lot of other factors
Fell Cleave happens much more frequently
But Misery doesn't, it is gated behind spending 3 lilies
warped nest
Plus what Channy said about burst
little swift
The only thing whm has thats remotely close to a burst phase is presence of mind
analog gate
no, not misery, i really meant glare

why do people complain about syrcus tower a ton
i feel like it's a very fast raid
much quicker than WoD
barren turtle
Hey so I boosted a character on another DC but I literally cannot use materia melding NPCs...?
Do I literally need to unlock basic melding via crafters
obsidian patio
why do people complain about syrcus tower a ton
Because it, along with the other Crystal Tower 24-mana appear very often in the Alliance Raid Roulette
So it can become very boring/tedious to get the same raid multiple days in a row

Do I literally need to unlock basic melding via crafters
yes
manic flare
WoD can often take 30+ minutes
barren turtle
thats, so fucking stupid
manic flare
one run took an hour
slate arrow
well for the materia melders you dont
slate arrow
but if you want to overmeld yes
obsidian patio
Crafters aren’t needing to unlock melding. Do the quest “Forging the Spirit” to unlock the NPC melders
obsidian patio
syrcus tower is so fast to clear tho. i dread when i get WoD
Being fast to clear still doesn’t redeem it from appearing very often due to people forcefully lowering their item level to make the roulette pick at, at the possible detriment of others
I hate the level 50 raids since I have so little of my kit, compared to if I got a HW or SB raid
manic flare
what do you mean by this:
often due to people forcefully lowering their item level to make the roulette pick at
slate arrow
item level cheese
manic flare
what does that mean
slate arrow
since the roulette only queues you for the stuff you can play with your current item level
hasty musk
wearing level 50 gear so you can't get stuff from HW and beyond
slate arrow
so if you're level 80 item level 130, only ARR stuff can be done
obsidian patio
that requires crafters
Not from what I’m seeing

i equip scaevan gear on my characters, and after maybe 40 alliance raid roulettes, i've only rouletted into void ark once
little swift
Just because you are queued this way
Doesn't mean the other 23 people you are matched with are
obsidian patio
If a single person lowers their item level you’ll never get anything but the ARR raids
(This isn’t considering the people who are naturally queueing for it or are still leveling up, of course)
manic flare
wait, so the game matches you with a party first, then a duty?
when using duty finder for roulettes
obsidian patio
Yes, the duty is selected when the queue pops for roulettes
barren turtle
faster
manic flare
wait so that means if you do duty roulette
that means the game matches you with other people who are also doing roulette?
if you are saying the game matches you with a party first, then selects a duty

Those are arrows pointing to nearby fates, which are basically randomly spawning events

You can only overmeld gear that does not say "advanced melding forbidden" so mostly white gear.
dire prawn
Are fates something worth doing early on or should I continue with the MSQ
whole wasp
Every materia you try to slot past the empty slots avaliable has a chance to fail. Losing the materia
worthy basin
continue with your msq
whole wasp
The chances get lower the more materia already in the gear and the higher the grade of the materia.

is there any way to increase chances?

lavish vortex
hi!!, quick question: at lvl 51, what gives more exp? one run in MSQ roulette, or two runs in PotD?

prob MSQ
but overall PoTD might be better because of the queue times just to get into an MSQ roulette
MSQ is also a 40 minute dungeon if you get prae

we cant really tell you because we dont know the queue times to compare
