Did they up the policing in this game

obsidian patio
#

About the same as it’s always been, though they do clarify rules every now and then

polar hound
#

Afaik infractions are permanent

leaden ginkgo
#

damn bro I can't stop flaming people

manic flare
#

how do i add someone as a roomate to my estate?

karmic niche
#

Well, i got a warning from them last time because i was being "rude" to someone that was being an asshole to new players

polar hound
#

Maybe seek help for that. Being friendly isnt hard.

leaden ginkgo
#

bruh

#

how am I supposed to not flame people who aren't playing well

dire prawn
#

Uhh

#

By not typing anything?

polar hound
#

Play a single player game

faint flare
#

Constructive criticism

polar hound
#

If you cant control yourself

leaden ginkgo

faint flare

leaden ginkgo

Get some help in rl

polar hound
#

This game you will get banned if you keep that up so, do you

karmic niche
#

There are many options

leaden ginkgo
#

i will just disable my enter key when I get in game

#

just unbind it I guess

karmic niche
#

Be passive aggressive that what most people do in pf savage :^)

little swift
#

its not hard to be nice

#

being a dick gets you punished its not that difficult

obsidian patio
#

I usually deal with it by complaining out loud instead of in game

#

Or using a linkshell with only myself and a few friends

leaden ginkgo
#

oh that part was easy

#

I got banned for "griefing" as well

#

I couldn't stop myself shit was funny asf

karmic niche
#

Or the fc chat

little swift
#

namazuconcern change your behaviour thats it

#

or be rude away from the game

leaden ginkgo
#

gleaming mist
open ember
#

ty

obsidian patio
#

Yeah with the loot changes in 5.3 they seem to be 100% chance from specific coffers

#

So just find the one or two that give it and spam the duty up to that point

open ember
#

#

ty guys

little nimbus
#

How mobile is ninja ?

faint flare
#

Its a melee and it has 3 Shukichi charges, Which lets you go to a specific location within range

And can use its mudras at range

gleaming mist

2 charges

little nimbus

I want dashes on 2nd job

#

All the dashes

tropic notch
#

faint flare
#

Dancer is the most Mobile job

tropic notch
#

I need it for story prog

faint flare
#

Ranged dps + 3 dashes

little nimbus
#

I only have free version rn

#

I started like

#

3 days ago

faint flare
#

Ranged dps in general are just very mobile due to free movement

gleaming mist
lost grove
#

What should I keep in mind while playing rdm/blm

polar hound
#

Well.. !faq blmleveling

#

Blm has one of the most changing rotations lvling up

lost grove
#

I suck a bit at playing caster

polar hound
#

Learn to slidecast

lost grove
#

N I'm how do I upkeep the buff for blm

polar hound
#

Is my biggest tip.. that alone is such a necessity

#

Oh thats easy. Their rotation naturally keeps it up

THM/BLM leveling rotations
lost grove
#

Oh ok

#

What about when I'm not fighting

polar hound
#

Fire 1 will replenish it, thats why its used all the way to 80

#

Transpose and or uhhh umbral heart? Ice?

#

You can spam them and keep enochian up inbetween pulls

lost grove
#

Ok

polar hound
#

Slidecasting is invaluable to any caster, practice that as you go when needed. Rdm is basically about "how can i cast less jolts" so you bounce between procs to achieve that

lost grove
#

When to use rdm buffs

faint flare
#

!faq rdmguide

polar hound
#

Uhh it used to be after 5th or 6th gcd i think, i can check

#

Or that lol

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
polar hound
#

Also good to join balance for more info, there are 5 or 6 listed buff windows there. Rotations etc can be found there

lost grove
#

Ok

BRUH it says wait time "more than 30m"

little nimbus
#

Wth does fishing do ?

#

And is it fun ?

obsidian patio
#

It’s pretty chill.

tropic notch
#

good if you do culinary I think

obsidian patio
#

Not that vital

little nimbus
#

I wanna do that yes

#

Just cant find it

#

Culinary that is

obsidian patio
#

Culinarian is at the upper decks of Limsa Lominsa

#

Near the marauders guild

little nimbus

👍

jaunty elk
#

I’m working on a new glamour but I need augmented drachen armor. I’ve been leveling alchemist for a while to work up to crafting them but I’m running out of money. Any tips?

slate arrow
#

stop buying eveything off the marketboard and use teamcraft to figure out how to manually gather everything you can

jaunty elk
#

teamcraft?

obsidian patio
#

A website for crafting/gathering that lets you make a “shopping list” and tells you the best/cheapest ways to get the items in the recipes you put on the list

jaunty elk
#

Ah alright that might help with the expenses lol

little nimbus
#

Aifht

#

also i knew rogue questlines led to ninja

#

But i didn't know i also got to be a pirate 😋

quasi thistle
#

i kinda got into some argument with someone ingame that told me "you didn't do enough DPS !" , a tank who didn't bother avoid the AoE carpet and do DPS where i was struggling to keep his HP above 50%...

dire prawn
#

oof

little nimbus
#

When do i get halls of novice access again?

shrewd harbor
#

Is there a place where I can easily see how all the eureka stuff looks?

gentle gorge
#

!faq dailies

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named dailies exists, Kupo!

dire prawn
#

@little nimbus when you change jobs to a starter class that begins at Lv 1 LUL

little nimbus
#

😑

#

I feel like the idiot

#

Also i just did

#

Still wont work

#

Unless...i gotta finnish that first quest first ?

raven sage
#

hall of the novice starts at level 15

little nimbus
#

Im 21

#

What did i miss ?

severe tusk
#

I got extra retainers, is there a retainer gatherer thats more useful than the others?

#

or should I just make them combat classes?

gentle gorge
#

Is it worth doing hunts at level 50? or just wait till ive finished the MSQ?

raven sage
#

@little nimbus Did you talk to the smith to unlock it?

little nimbus
#

No

raven sage
#

Then that's probably the step you're missing

little nimbus
#

K

leaden ginkgo
#

Are u not able to get primal servers on free trial

open coral
#

You can be on any server that isn't currently closed to new character creation, regardless of whether you're free trial or not.

leaden ginkgo
#

Isnitn andom when it's closed?

#

Cuz my friend got the trial yesterday and got on famfrit

dire prawn
#

As a free trial player can I create a new character on a different datacenter like Primal or am I limited to Aether

open coral
#

At this particular time, Famfrit is closed to creation of new characters.

leaden ginkgo
#

Do u know how long until it isn't?

open coral
#

It really depends on how many people are online. You can try at the lowest activity times, which for NA servers would typically be around 2-3am - so about 2-3 hours from now.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I see ty

open coral
#

The site I linked is the official server status page, so when it shows Famfrit as "creation of new characters available", you should be able to make a character there.

leaden ginkgo
#

K I'll camp it every 10 mins and see ty

gentle gorge
#

Can i still buy the non augmented ironworks ring?

open coral
open coral
gentle gorge
#

So as a tank can i just get the DPS one?

dire prawn
#

The restriction is 8 characters, one per world but it didn't mention if I was locked to a single datacenter or not

open coral
#

You're never going to be locked to a single datacenter.

faint flare
gentle gorge
#

So i can just buy 2 tank ones. Cool

faint flare
#

Just get Another tank one

crimson gale
#

also btw guys, forgot to ask before, whats the best way to actually level up solo? like if its too late at night nobody at queues for PotD or dungs?

brisk ember
shrewd owl
#

means you can fly there

lament basalt
#

lol seems like zelda must be a popular game around these main cities

glacial isle
#

Is the % health bar a mod or an option hidden in the UI settings?

#

(shows % of health an enemy has)

crimson gale
#

ui settings

#

in player config i think

#

but its def in the game, not a mod, i have it on just cant remember exactly where it is

obsidian patio
warped nest
#

It is one of those things that you just turn on and forget

#

There you go

glacial isle
#

i always forget char. config is a separate menu/button from settings

#

thx

lament basalt
#

ugh i'm getting sick of minfilia, i liked her at first but vesper bay is giving me aids

dire prawn
#

I has question

red apex
#

i'm lv 26 and didnt see the grand company mission

#

can someone please help me

#

i don't know where to find it

lament basalt
#

gotta keep doing minifilias quest line

dire prawn
#

Have you been to The Waking Sands after getting the Scion of the Seventh Dawn MSQ

lament basalt
#

the Main story questline that is

red apex
#

where can i find minifilias?

glacial isle
red apex
#

right now i'm doing A wild rose by any other name quest

#

it's a main quest

dire prawn
#

It'll be after that

red apex
#

oh okay

#

then i'm just over leveled i guess

dire prawn
#

Yep

#

As expected

#

I'm 8 levels over my MSQ

red apex
#

i see someone doing a youtube vid and he's doing my quest and has a chocobo already

lament basalt
#

thats because youre wearing the 30% xp ring

red apex
#

so i thought i could get it before

#

ohh didn't know that lmao

lament basalt
#

lolol same i just found out last night i was getting salty that ive only been doing the main quests but am so far outleveling it

red apex
#

i'm not complaining though XD

#

thanks for pointing it out

lament basalt
#

why are waking sands and the solar separated by a brief load screen?

dire prawn
#

I wonder the same thing

#

It's stupid

glacial isle
#

so they can load in the 50,000 cutscenes that take place in the Solar

gentle gorge
#

Whats the best way to get GC seals at 50?

lament basalt
#

the cut scenes seem like copy paste body movement with different lines each time, has to the least amount of effort put into anything ive seen so far in this game lol. if youre out in the world, it already takes 4 load screens minimum to get to that room as it is

obsidian patio
gentle gorge
#

Low.

obsidian patio
#

Complete your grand company hunting log and do fates until you’re Sergeant 2nd Class

gentle gorge
#

Fates it is

obsidian patio
#

At that rank you can turn in non-white gear in for GC seals at your grand company officer

#

Leveling roulette also gives GC seals if you’re the role in need

gentle gorge
#

so i can get rid of all the extra crap i have 😄

dire prawn
#

A friend of mine hit 60 on his Monk and finally finished the class quest (He's on free trial like me) and is about to go do the class quest for Dark Knight

#

But he doesn't know how to level up besides the MSQ since DRK will be his first class besides his MNK

#

So how should he level his DRK

glass oxide
#

The highest available dungeon + daily roulettes

rare verge
#

what about deep dungeon?

simple shore
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
#

There. That link has all the info you need.

iron rock
#

How do u level up fisher in ocean fishing? I've gotten to 40 just from mb leves so far

glass oxide
#

Tanks queue are faster than DPS

dire prawn
#

Stormblood

obsidian patio
#

POTD isn’t good for tanks since they have faster dungeon queues

#

It’s still accurate for 1-70

#

And you basically use the same fundamentals for 71-80

#

But there’s trusts as an option along with Bozja

leaden ginkgo
#

Why do some characters in this game have black at the bottom of their noses?

spark notch
#

How quick do you lvl up in potd

severe tusk
#

Hellguard Roe have the black on the nose as a racial thing I think.

obsidian patio
#

A floor set usually takes around 10-15 minutes depending on how good your group is

spark notch
#

Umm how does tht website work

whole wasp
#

tells you exactly how many runs of potd/huh you need to level up your job outside it

#

if you mean inside potd, its fast

severe tusk
#

Is there a retainer class thats better than the rest in terms of value?

whole wasp
#

not really. depends on what you need

#

if you craft much, gatherer might be helpful

severe tusk
#

I just bought 3 more retainers. I have a Combat and BTN at 80 and geared. Wondering what to make the new ones

whole wasp
#

fisher have some exclusive stuff that they can get from ventures but you can buy those from the marketboard

severe tusk
#

I see, having one wouldn't hurt at least

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone help do a Cutter’s Cry run for this old blue mage

full latch
#

Soo. I'm level 50. is the map actually bigger?

little swift
#

bigger in what way

#

the expansions have larger spaces

simple shore
#

If anything when you first hit 50 the map is, in practice, "smaller" - because you're going to have flying unlocked but no new zones

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it possible to do the dancing plague (extreme) with 5 players in total? Unsync, of course

whole wasp
#

im not sure but the fire fist mechanic is going to wreck you if you get unlucky

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay

#

How about the looting system? Is it the same as ARR’s extremes? (You get a chest with a random weapon) plus how many totems per clear?

whole wasp
#

yes. 1 totem per clear

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, thank you

little swift
#

dancing plague is current expansion content

#

and you can't unsync that

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

#

Can someone tell me why some of the characters have black shit on their noses?

wintry chasm
#

some race/face/etc combos can let you just have a darker nose tip

simple shore
#

"Current" content (stretching that word a bit) is never able to be done undersize/unsync

leaden ginkgo
#

Like this one?

little swift
#

its a shadow

leaden ginkgo
#

Are you sure?

patent citrus
#

what's your graphic setting 😂

leaden ginkgo
#

For some reason it's just very specific characters

patent citrus
#

only crystarium striking dummy is lv 80 right?

leaden ginkgo
#

And the first pic was from Google, second pic was my game

#

But because the fan arts include the black nose, I don't think it's a shadow

little swift
#

i mean if your nose was a flat precipice

#

from normal lighting it would be darker anyways

leaden ginkgo
#

What’s the enrage timer for Titania (EX)?

robust crow
#

lol i have no idea, are you guys at risk of hitting enrage?

rigid narwhal
#

hyperion or lamia

#

probs hyperion

leaden ginkgo
rigid narwhal
#

there are a lot of large spanish speaking fc's on there, and i regularly see people speaking spanish in say and shout chat

simple shore
leaden ginkgo
robust crow
#

i'm going to reassure you that

warped nest
#

I dunno what makes you think it is a lvl 73 extreme

robust crow
#

if your party's DPS isn't enough to do titania EX

#

then they are beyond bad

#

the fight is old as heck, and if people have current tier gear you shouldn't come close to enrage at all

open rivet
#

or hilariously undergeared

robust crow
#

people were doing that fight on shb release with like, i430

leaden ginkgo
#

i430? I’m relieved, then. Thank you!

warped nest
#

You can fail mechanics and wipe

#

But it is not very possible to hit enrage

robust crow
#

from my experience doing titania ex recently (with a party of i500 or more)

#

literally even with numerous deaths

#

you still won't hit enrage

little swift
#

the dps check is really low you can have people rolling in their graves

robust crow
#

you can literally drag a dead party to the clear

little swift
#

with teh gear everyone has now

robust crow
#

that's how low it is now with our gear

warped nest
#

The tomestone gear is 520 btw, off the NPC

robust crow
#

the only way you fail lthat fight is if everyone dies and you end up with a true wipe

warped nest
#

The max ilvl is 535 weapon, and 530 armors/accessories

robust crow
#

otherwise if your healers and tanks stay alive then you can still shitter out the clear

rigid narwhal
#
willow dune
#

Is the best DoL/H gear you can get at 60, from Ishgard's Jeweled Crozier?

rigid narwhal
#

no.

#

you can buy some crafted lvl 60 gear, or some with scrips in idyllshire

#

if you're not on free trial, i would just buy gear at 61/63 however

willow dune
#

Oooh ok thanks, was about to splurge.

kind burrow
#

Is there an indicator for Leves that tells you whether or not there is a treasure chest in it? or do you simply have to search?

robust crow
#

at 60 you should have unlocked custom deliveries

#

doing a few custom deliveries this week will get you enough for pretty much a full set of gear from the scrip vendor in idyllshire

willow dune
#

Is that unlocked through MSQ?

robust crow
#

it's a sidequest from MSQ

#

but you need to be done with heavensward before you unlock your first custom deliveries

willow dune
#

Oh alright then thanks

open rivet
#

like Channy said, gotta look for it

#

might be hidden behind a rock

kind burrow
#

thanks

orchid falcon
#

Anybody know the name of/how to get the face tattoo/facepaint on this viera? Maybe its a mod I dont know

#

I looked at all the options and didnt see anything like it and a quick google search didnt turn anything up so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

slate arrow
#

it's probably a mod then

green grail
#

do viera not get face paints like other races

#

i think even hrothgar get them

orchid falcon
#

They do, just not this one

green grail
#

looks like the heart face paint

orchid falcon
#

Unless its some unlock I dont know about

green grail
#

if you squint

orchid falcon
#

Could just be a mod

#

Reminds me of .hack lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Yo I got a question for timeworn maps. Is it one map per day, or one of each type of map per day.
Like say I get a goatskin map, will I be able to get a boarskin map as well?

slate arrow
#

thats correct yes

#

@granite hound

slate arrow
leaden ginkgo
#

@slate arrow thanks man 👍

slate arrow
#

no idea, I haven't leveled a new gatherer after ishgard yet

#

but leves should be the fastest

#

that + using the gathering manuals

robust crow
#

is there somewhere i can view possible datamines for ff14

green grail
#

but there isn't much datamined stuff that's unreleased, maybe some mogstation outfits or mounts

robust crow
#

yeah that's actually what i'm curious about, the mogstation outfits

green grail
#

they should be on the dlunch model viewer, since everything in the most recent patch gets uploaded there afaik

#

the dropdowns have most recent stuff at the bottom so just open the names you dont recognize

robust crow
#

hey that's pretty neat

#

never knew this existed

#

though it doesn't seem like there are any new mogstation outfits at the bottom of the dropdowns

green grail
#

there's "brand new ||alphinaud||'s attire"

robust crow
#

i thought we already had that

#

or is that his ||shadowbringers outfit||

green grail
#

got the 2.0 one, this one's the heavensward outfit

robust crow
#

oh

#

i saw some dumb meme about ||minfilia in shadowbringer's boots|| and thought it was real

#

guess i'm just dumb

stone plume
#

Hi everyone? So are there any lists of optional events hidden throughout the game? Maybe stuff with interesting items or storylines?

pearl perch
#

You can check "Fabled Ways" YT channel for the "FFXIV - Easy To Miss Unlocks (and where to find them)"

#

atleast that's what popped in my mind regarding ur question

obsidian wren
#

idk of any central places to list interesting storylines

slate carbon
#

just curious but why do the savage aim materia I (one) sell for so much?

#

they sell more than the 3 and 4 ones. Just wandering what they are used for

vernal urchin
#

crafting quests, relic weapons, and general materia min-maxing

simple shore
#

That doesnt really make any sense, actually

#

There's no good reason for 1's to be more expensive than 3's, based on the fact that 3's are used for quests.

marble drift
#

1's I would assume are harder to get?

oak ice
#

The market generally makes no sense

marble drift
#

you get them from spiritbonding combat gear

#

but who bothers to spiritbond low level stuff?

#

you generally just replace it in a few levels

slate carbon
#

maybe its just zalera marketboard the 1's are selling for 2000 each while the 3's and 4's are selling for lless than 200 each

loud ether
#

Guys should I give away my expert item for seals? When does it make sense to give away items for seals.

marble drift
#

by...expert item

#

you mean expert delivery?

loud ether
#

yes

simple shore
#

Priority for disposing of unwanted gear should be : Desynth > GC Seals > Vendor

marble drift
#

right. whenever you have no more use for it

#

turn it in

loud ether
#

When I turn them in do I lose option to turn them into glamour?

oak ice
#

Yes

marble drift
#

yes

#

if you want to save something but not have it take up inventory space use your glamour dresser

#

in any inn room

#

to store the image so it can be applied to a plate

loud ether
#

Got it

gentle gorge
#

Should i unlock extra stuff while leveling or what until i finish the MSQ?

marble drift
#

depends on the thing really.

#

some things arn't "technically" extra anymore

gentle gorge
#

THinking about the roulettes

marble drift
#

like the ARR alliance raid set "Crystal Tower" thats mandatory now

#

eh. when its your first character only really leveling roulette is any good

#

its probably determined on where you are in the MSQ

slate arrow
#

entirely depends on the data center and where you look

#

Can't tell you. Am american, but I've always found a few listings on Party Finder and the Aether Raiding discord

green grail
#

in the end it all comes down to experience and logs in most cases, so just play the job you enjoy and get good at it

#

and you'll get a group

cant find it on tab/auto translate function, but I've seen someone linked a dungeon name

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie and I'm looking for a FC to join. Is there any way I could look for a group of people to play with?

I'm from Spriggan, but I think I could switch to Ragnarok too

slate arrow
#

The best method is to just go to Limsa and /shout for an FC

#

Alternatively, use community finder

robust notch
#

What type of FC are you looking for? 😮

ashen anvil
#

How do you remove the sprout by your name?

dire prawn
#

Play the game

slate arrow
#

Specifically

ashen anvil
#

I'm almost on stormblood does it go away after a msq are done?

slate arrow
#

168 hours of /playtime + completion of 4.56 (aka starting Shadowbringers)

ashen anvil
#

Ah I've had the game 2weeks 200hrs played almost

gritty oracle
#

You can also type /nastatus, but I find the novice network to be a great place to ask for help/advice and generally hang out.

slate arrow
#

Oh and this is tracked per character so a new character will be stuck with the sprout status regardless of account state

dire prawn
#

I'm not in the NN since I have no mentor

ashen anvil
#

Been getting crafters and gathers to 70 only have like 4 more to do

gritty oracle
dire prawn
#

I've been told the mentors are shit

#

Plus I have this discord

#

And G2W discord

#

W2G*

gritty oracle
#

It's a per server basis tbh. NNs can truly be amazing. I personally like it.

full trail
#

Yes this discord is ftw,,why would you ever need a mentor,in the game :3

simple shore
#

in-game mentors are indeed shit on average

#

due to there being no real barrier to entry

dire prawn
#

If I need help in-game I ask one of four people LUL

gritty oracle
#

as a mentor who actively enjoys helping out people, I feel like you're generalizing just a bit.

full trail
#

If I need help I ask here, Chaney and vinyl seems to know all xD

#

Also a lot of,other people. But those 2 are the ones that came to,mind

#

I havnt chatted ing ff mostly due to trial, but also on ps4 its way easier to just type in discord

#

Can I have a keyboard hooked up to ps4 solely for typing and also have controller on for gameplay? Or do they not recognize both at once?

gritty oracle
#

Most PS players usually get a keyboard with direct chat just for chat.

obsidian patio
#

Yep you can have one just for typing

#

Great for chatting and using the market board

full trail
#

Cool

obsidian patio
#

Also making macros

full trail
#

Mmm, idk how to macro and never really needed it in a mmo tbh

obsidian patio
#

For controllers they’re nice for ground targeted aoes

#

Like Asylum and Sacred Soil

#

Since it avoids needing to aim the camera to place them

full trail
#

Super nee so no clue what those r :P

dapper pelican
#

How many 450 tomes do we get from a hunt train

obsidian patio
#

What’s your current class?

full trail
#

Current I was gladiator until I got rogue, I'm only around level 14

#

But in thinking ofbmovijg servers anyway so ill prob be making a new character

obsidian patio
#

For rogue you can use one for a later skill called Shukuchi, which lets you quickly move to a specified area

full trail
#

Hmm sounds handy

green grail
#

other way round oops

full trail
#

It hard picking a server, when you havnt met anyone yet on the game xD

dapper pelican
#

Ah so 120 tomes

#

Guess ill catch a train tomorrow

dapper pelican
#

Cuz i really want that 530 weapon

full trail
#

I'm on adamantoise, but I feel I might neee a lower populated server, I think I may be lagging some on it, maybe due to it being overcrowded

dapper pelican
#

The servers dont lag

#

Its your internet

full trail
#

Hmm, yea it has Been storming some lately.

green grail
#

that doesn't really ever happen, the only known issues related to overcrowding can be like, errors when trying to teleport/enter a really crowded zone that only happens on expansion releases

dapper pelican
#

Or rather server lag is so fucking rare

#

Gordon ramsey would scream

full trail
#

Lol

#

There's also always a wait time. But only 10-15 seconds for lognin

dapper pelican
#

Yeah thats normal

#

Since corona

obsidian patio
#

Small queue times are pretty natural

dapper pelican
#

But the waiting queue assures server stability

full trail
#

Is there a reason to play on a over crowdee server over another? Maybe its better for the market board or something?

dapper pelican
#

And ffxiv has the most stable servers i have ever seen

#

The smaller the server the more fucked the marketboard is

full trail
#

Ah so most populated servers have best stabilized economy

dapper pelican
#

But housing is easier to get on smaller servers too

#

Most populated servers have expensive items

green grail
#

market, roleplay, some other server-specific content like ishgard restoration rankings or deep dungeon rankings, gold saucer tournaments.. other misc stuff

dapper pelican
#

Across the board

#

Smaller servers are always cheaper

#

Due to heavy undercutting

simple shore
#

That....is both not entirely true and illogical.

dapper pelican
#

That also meand tho you can make as much gil

#

It is right

full trail
#

Is good roleplay a thing on ffxiv? I looked on youtube ,all I could find is like erp and stuff in taverns

dapper pelican
#

Twintania on light is the cheapest smallest server

#

With heavy undercutting and people not understanding how to do the marketboard

open ember
#

Balmung on crystal is the most populated yet has the cheapest items on Crystal.... So that statement doesn't always fit the bill

simple shore
#

Perhaps its a regional thing

#

because on NA its the exact opposite of what you're saying, Salt

full trail
#

Like I'm totally down to do role play,if its legit like making your own adventure and stuff

#

Not into that nightclub/erp stuff tho

open ember
#

Cheap items and shit are dependent on DC to DC so

simple shore
#

The most consistent thing i can say about NA markets is that if you want to get stuff cheap, go to whatever the current preferred server is.

#

because the flood of activity on those servers tends to create a flood of supply

dapper pelican
#

Point being smaller server economies are not that great

#

Thank god for world travel

#

Really

full trail
#

Can you use other marketboards while world traveling?

simple shore
#

I fundamentally disagree with you on the reason why, but yes, smaller server economies are generally bad.

dapper pelican
#

Yeah

open ember
#

You can always visit other marketboards yes

green grail
dapper pelican
#

Marketboard world travel is common

full trail
#

Hmm well thats very useful

dapper pelican
#

That reminds me

#

I need to make gil again

obsidian patio
#

If you can solo farm the coil turns yourself, replica Allagan/high Allagan/dreadwyrm can be very lucrative

dapper pelican
#

Im down 17 million after buying new house and some furniture i cant be bothered to craft

full trail
#

Hmm, so can I find everything in 1 server, rp,raiding/dungeons scene,pvp etc?

slate arrow
#

Always

simple shore
#

I imagine that you can probably make alot of money off of high allagan weapons just because even now thats a tough solo.

obsidian patio
#

Can always just enrage cheese it if you’re patient

#

Or bring a second person to make it 500% easier

simple shore
#

Hah, at that rate i'd rather go do something more efficient in terms of gil

full trail
#

I want to definitely get into,the raiding scene, but I heard its very hard due to statics clearing the new content in a few weeks and not wanting to touch it after that

gritty oracle
#

There's always new statics popping up, or you can make your own. Newbies have always and will always exist. Just make sure to label it beginner friendly and casual or midcore.

full trail
#

Fcs are like the guilds, but statics is the real goal, for finding people to dungeon/raid with that isnt roulette ?

simple shore
#

Well, to raid with, yes.

#

Nobody forms a "dungeon static"

full trail
#

:c

#

Idk if I'm a rare breed of mmo gamer, but I like to run stuff multiple times xd

#

And would rather do it with friends instead of random tbh

slate arrow
#

Statics are only really used in current raids due to loot lockouts

#

All 4 person or 24 person content is usually casual enough to be able to use duty finder for

#

You'll usually need those baits yes

simple shore
#

No. Fish require specific bait. Sometimes specific weather and time of day as well.

obsidian patio
#

Some fish are very picky in bait

slate arrow
#

Though the versatile lure is basically every bait so you could use that if you're lazy

full trail
#

Yea but I mean, I dont always want to be running dungeons with randoms. :/

slate arrow
#

But it does mean you can't be picky about what you get

#

@full trail you won't have a choice unless you manage to find 3 other people who have the same play schedule as you

obsidian patio
#

Yeah the fishing log is very obtuse on telling exact info

#

It likes being unclear

#

At most you’ll just get a time of day and if it needs a folklore book

slate arrow
#

It's just best to acknowledge that ffxiv in story progression should be considered a single player game

simple shore
#

ff14angler is good for looking up conditions/bait/etc but for the love of god turn on an adblocker before you go.

slate arrow
#

Trying to keep pace with friends can get hard after a while

#

Especially since even post 5.3 ARR still takes a while to do

full trail
#

I mean I dont mind running random ,but just not constantly . its nice after you meet people and become friends, to oooh and awh toogether over a dungeon boss or the music, or just chatting while playing the content

slate arrow
#

consider inviting your own friends then

#

It's free to play through the first expansion and to level 60 after all

#

If they aren't hooked by then oh well you tried

simple shore
#

Most bait isnt worth saving. Anything that i dont buy with scrips or isnt "current" i just toss after i use it.

full trail
#

I don't have friends that like ff sadly :( best friend is like Nah I never cared for ff art . I'm just like </3 bruh

dapper pelican
full trail
#

Ikr

bitter pivot
#

If you're looking for a frequent dungeon group that is going to consistently chat about the dungeons, thats pretty much unicorn territory. Some FC's will put it in their FC chat when they are running daily dungeon roulettes and fill up all 4 spots with FC members. But even in that case, its primarily because you trust the people in your FC to get through the content efficiently

dapper pelican
#

Dungeons are so easy that theres no dungeon groups really

full trail
#

Yea, I'm going just level up and enjoy the msq , but if I cant find a fc or static that likes the way I wanna play, I guess I can just make my own. Oof I can feel the headaches already from leading

dire prawn
#

I can't join FCs so I'm stuck solo :3

full trail
#

Going to try to nag my friend until he tries ffxiv. He would probably like it if he just gave it a shot. We both grew up on wow. It's similar but the fights are much more engaging and the music is so amazing

#

Plus story. Real story!

dire prawn
#

My MSQ is only at 25 but I can already tell this is going to be the longest story I've ever had to play through

simple shore
bitter pivot
#

If you want to run content that isn't endgame raids with a static-esque group, maybe consider looking at Blue Mage. Filling up the spellbook requires running a large list of dungeons, so you might be able to convince a dedicated group to go through and get all the spells together sequentially

full trail
#

Yea dead, its going be a long ride since its an mmo. But its going be great. I mean a quality rpg story that never ends basically

bitter pivot
#

Palace of the Dead is some other side content which sort of requires statics for 4 mans, but thats presuming you're consistently running toward floor 200

dire prawn
#

And one that I can't complete on free trial LUL

full trail
#

True, but you get first whole expansion of story for free so if you play all through that, its obvious you love the game and should buy and sub :)

dire prawn
#

If this announcement doesn't reveal an expac coming I'm buying FFXIV within the hour

full trail
#

What announcement?

dire prawn
#

The live announcement coming on the 5th

full trail
#

If its coming on 5th how would you know in a hr?

jovial tide
#

What use does Undraw have?

dire prawn
#

Within an hour of it endign

#

Oh xD

green grail
#

leftover from last expansion

jovial tide
#

Thanks

full trail
#

Are statics something we have to join again manually each day or is it something you can stay in similar to a guild?

warped nest
#

Statics are a group of people who agree to raid on a schedule

full trail
#

Also could a trial player be in a static I forgot. Statics and parties are 2 seperate things?

warped nest
#

Think of it as a yoga class

#

Statics usually refers to groups who do the current endgame contents

#

Static is not a in-game thing

full trail
#

Oh

warped nest
#

It is a group of players who agrees to play endgame contents together

#

Think of it as long term LFG

simple shore
#

Realistically a trial player couldnt be in a static anyway

#

Due to it being, you know, for max level Savage/Ultimate content

full trail
#

Or I always thought a static was like a term for a party xD

#

So are parties something 2 trial plauers would have to join daily, or is there a way to stay in a party even after log out?

simple shore
#

You'd have to join daily. The party will disband automatically if everyone (or everyone but one player) is offline for long enough

warped nest
#

Party refers to the group you formed temporarily, either via in game recruitment, or using match making, to do contents

full trail
#

Ok thanks. :)

warped nest
#

Statics means you always form a party with the same group of players you know on discord or on Skype (or a friend of theirs to sub in), in order to tackle endgame PvE contents

full trail
#

K

simple shore
#

Statics are a thing you form/join due to the necessity of consistency. For Ultimate, for example, you're talking about fights that will take a good group on average a month to get down (and that's with pretty aggressive raid schedule)

warped nest
#

To be specific, the fight doesn't last a month, you don't spend time chewing through 20 billion health point. Learning and practicing the mechanics are the part that takes time.

What’s the correct formula to message someone who’s in a different world in your DC?

silver ruin
#

First Last@Server

slate arrow
#

/message First Last@Server

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you

full trail
#

When making a character. Its fine to go with random name? But seems Like most of the cool ones are taken.

leaden ginkgo
#

Says the message could not be sent?

simple shore
#

I mean name yourself whatever you want, but due to the surname system the only way you should be running into problems of names being taken is you just stealing names from other games. At which point dont do that

slate arrow
#

They're likely offline or in an instance

#

The game is extremely picky with cross server messages

#

or /busy

agile laurel
#

yep. iirc cutscenes, /busy, in any kind of instance will block DMs

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, okay

simple shore
#

/busy is the worst

#

because people forget they have it on

agile laurel
#

i will say it's irritating to the point of 'do it if you absolutely must'

#

i try to communicate off-platform because it's so so much easier

warped nest
#

most of the cool ones
So... Anime, movies, and video game names?

#

mine is anime name, but I did it so cleverly, last I checked, I only have 2 duplicates on the whole planet

slate arrow
#

Clond Streef

simple shore
#

Klowd Steerife

warped nest
#

Klaud Striefe

slate arrow
#

The point is, if it's a popular media name, it's probably taken. Multiple times. Per server.

#

Because ' is a valid character

#

C'loud Strif'e

simple shore
#

Plus you really shouldnt want to be that guy. If you steal a name from another game/show/whatever, people are generally going to look at you in a certain way.

#

A very negative way

warped nest
#

Only if you use character name from Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Sao...

#

OK, I see your point

#

I'd recommend just taking your favored username and splitting it so it sounds good

#

Like Midnight Sea or something

simple shore
#

lowkey that's a lore appropriate and reasonable Roe name

#

lol

warped nest
#

Lol

#

is that when and where the conception occurred

wind skiff
#

Generally speaking even in none roleplay servers people use lore friendly names, generally (Just don't name your surname tia or nunh if you're a miqo'te lol)

#

Here's name generator that's decent, most of the will likely be taken but you can change it up a bit

full trail
#

Thanks guys. Yea I was referring to the random name selector . everytime I got one I liked it be like invalid already in use

#

🙃

open coral
#

The more original and personal a name you come up with, the less likely it is to be already in use.

wind skiff
#

Nunh gives people the impression you're trying to give off an ungabunga me alfa male kind of vibe, but it comes off cringe

#

and tia's give off the opposite vibe with the same result

dire prawn
#

What if I only play female Miqo'te 🤔

jovial tide
#

IIRC wasn't Nunh a name for miqo royalty lore-wise?

wind skiff
#

but don't take my word for it

open coral
#

Nunh is the name/title for a Miqo breeding male.

#

Tia are the non-breeding males.

#

So kind of.

wind skiff
#

yeah pretty much

jovial tide
#

Oh wait I remember, it was chieftain

wind skiff
#

so people who know the lore and see some dude strutting around with 'breeding rights' in his name is kinda yikesy lmfao

open coral
#

And yet you still see tons of "Tia" and "Nunh" catboys.

#

Probably because they used the random name generator, and that does create "lore friendly" names.

jovial tide
#

May I know where the breeding distinction is referenced ingame?

wind skiff
#

yeah, but even still nunh is rare in name gen, you pretty much have to type it in

jovial tide
#

I think I missed it

wind skiff
#

didn't they used to post naming conventions on the forums?

open coral
#

I know it's at least alluded to in Stormblood, if you do one of the bluequest to unlock the beast tribes.

simple shore
zinc lagoon
#

uhmm i need help

#

like what is this

wind skiff
#

I believe it's japanese

#

you're welcome

open coral
#

It says that FFXIV has encountered an error.

zinc lagoon
#

what error

open coral
#

It doesn't specify.

wind skiff
#

usually the japanese error goes away if you reload

#

in my experience

zinc lagoon
#

i did reload but it didnt

simple shore
#

Ive never seen this japanese error

open coral
#

Did you try restarting your computer?

#

That's literally the only thing I can think of.

wind skiff
#

it's overreaching in the game

#

like even graha is a tia lool

open coral
#

I'm pretty sure the naming conventions were only explicitly spelled out in the lore books. The forum thread would have just been a copy-pasta of that information.

wind skiff
#

probably but still, the game abides by it all

lilac flume
#

If I’m doing old content synced (like savage coils) what should I do for food/pots? Use old recipes or newer?

marble drift
#

I'd personally go 1 step above the ARR stuff at the time. it'll still cap to your stats

#

so. heavensward endgame stuff.

lilac flume
#

I’ll have to try and find out what used to be good for each role/class then

open coral
#

You'd still be looking at the same stat priorities as the current food.

#

What used to be good would be determined by the meta of the time, and things have changed since then.

marble drift
#

I mean if you're syncing old coils then you're not averse to a little research

#

cause good luck doin' those suckers blind

amber cosmos
#

is it okay to be a little overlevelled ? like say ~5-6 ish above msq level ?

marble drift
#

yeah

#

it'll sync you for important stuff like solo duties or dungeons

#

I would advise (assuming you're on full game) picking up samurai and red mage asap (they start at 50)

#

to soak some xp

#

cause its basically free anyway

amber cosmos
#

oh !

marble drift
#

you can also grab dancer and gunbreaker at 60 (again assuming full game status)

amber cosmos
marble drift
#

after completing the base Realm Reborn story

#

theres alot of filler.

amber cosmos
#

ahhhh

marble drift
#

it'll overlevel you if you're not already

amber cosmos
#

okay i get it haha

marble drift
#

yeah picking up those 2 lets you at least put it to use

patent citrus
#

msq is the best way to level your dps class, so would suggest to use this time wisely

twilit arch
#

post ARR is not a lot of filler

#

especially after the ARR rework

quasi thistle
#

i kinda confused with the rework, where is that legendary battle that need a "turn"

twilit arch
#

what?

quasi thistle
#

is it against the rules for asking some question that already gone after rework ? or is it considered spoiler ?

twilit arch
#

no? I don't understand your question

quasi thistle
#

i heard around ARR, in the past, we can fight the Bahamut ?

twilit arch
#

that's the 8 man raid series, the binding coil of bahamut

#

ARR msq rework didn't touch that

quasi thistle
#

umm... the last msq arr on me was the alliance raids..

twilit arch
#

yes, Crystal Tower was made a main scenario quest requirement because its required later down the line and is important to shadowbringers

quasi thistle
#

it's me that gone senile.... or i never able to fight baha on arr...

oak ice
#

Bahamut is a completely separate set of 8 person raids

twilit arch
#

^

#

CT is an alliance raid, which is 24man

#

aka 3 raids of 8 people

quasi thistle
#

bahamut is not part of msq ?

twilit arch
#

no

#

has never been

#

most likely never will be

oak ice
#

No, and thank god, because it's hard at 50

quasi thistle
#

ah.... no wonder i never found it...

#

and even with SHB , the level synced at 50 right ?

oak ice
#

You can do it unsynced, which would leave you at level 80, if that's what your job is at

quasi thistle
#

i heard on 50 is very brutal that now almost no one do it...

twilit arch
#

most people don't want to do coil sync'd, because as platt said its hard at 50

quasi thistle
#

i guess on 80 , bahamut turn into gecko prime Kek

green grail
#

you might be thinking of ultimate bahamut, which is a level 70 raid with forced sync

#

regarding that almost no one's done it

gritty oracle
#

which is the most efficient roulette, xp per minute? msq, leveling or alliance?

green grail
#

probably depends on the content you get

twilit arch
#

leveling is usually iirc the most efficient xp/minute

green grail
#

labirynth takes 10 minutes vs a 35 minute leveling dungeon with single target dps, roughly same exp

twilit arch
#

hm true

Does Huton affect recast timer of mudras? like the 1.5s gcd

:O how do I vc with people from pc to ps4 then :(

obsidian wren

discord i guess

full trail
#

Discord is pretty good. But it often cuts people off

wind skiff
#

Probably a problem with their voice gate, or using wifi, in my experience it works

full trail
#

I use yea most of us use wifi

wind skiff
#

could be worth lowering the quality of the voice channels you use, so that - yeah it will be lower quality, but atleast communications won't drop

full trail
#

Most of time when I'm chatting with someone over 20 mins it like mutes me or him, I could hear them but they couldnt hear me vise versa

wind skiff
#

could pay for a dedicated teamspeak server lol

full trail
#

Mmm idk, discord be fine, if it didnt cut off. Maybe I'll try l. Lowering quality like you said

Another question. Do all races have same attack animations and hild weapons the same?

green grail

yes, its just male and female characters have different idle poses, which would include holding weapons differently

Ok thank you

Small exception for roegadyns and lalafells

where normal weapon animations simply wouldn't work

Free days are generally used up first

If I ordered something from the MogStore but then discarded it/gave it back can I get it back from the calamity salvager/recompense person?

So last week, there were a ton of people in Hyperion's Firmament area, but it seems like it's been completely empty since the weekend. Was there something specific happening in Hyperion? I saw there was a livestream in New Gridania this weekend, is that related?

Folks, I'm brand new to FF14 and was wondering, what would be the best NA server for me to join? I'm looking for a large, active community.

faint flare

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT

Which world should I pick?

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)
faint flare
#

Tldr: they're all active and it doesn't matter

#

Only noticeable worlds are ones mentioned

long quiver
#

So the new ones with the +exp are a good idea? I was afraid there wouldn't be any established guilds there or active RP

faint flare
#

RP is mainly on Balmung and Mateus

#

There's sprinkling of rp here and there on others but not as major or prominent as Balmung/mateus

#

Guilds are primarily social aspects and there's fucking millions everywhere

long quiver
#

Strange, trying to create a new character now and it doesn't list any of those two RP servers as an option.

manic rune
#

keep in mind you can visit other worlds on the same datacenter (with limitations) so you can still visit balmung/mateus for rp if you play on another world in crystal

#

change your datacenter

faint flare
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

how do i overmelds my own gear? i am lv 80 gsm

faint flare

Just right click and meld...you do need to unlock it over at mutamix if you haven't

mutamix?

Sorry, a complete noob here to the game

faint flare
#

Not for you

proper junco
#

theres nothin about mutamix

#

and i still cant pentameld

manic rune
#

@long quiver, you’ll have to change your datacenter to crystal to make a character on balmung or mateus

Try during NA peak hours, or try party finder instead to get a level 80 to run you through it.

Hi, anyone got a Macro for the Grade 4 Artisanal Expert Crafts?

faint flare
#

That's the entire point of then

blissful lava
#

Surely there is a rotation

buoyant haven
#

Is there a guide to HD textures or similar graphics QOL stuff?

faint flare
#

There's openers and it changes based on procs you get

marble drift
#

No. the changing conditions and the difficulty of the craft prevent them

faint flare
#

You NEED to use those procs effectively

blissful lava
#

Ugh Marvellous SE...

faint flare
#

Otherwise you're not even going to reach the minimum collectiblity

marble drift
#

They're expert crafts

#

if a macro could do them...are they really expert at all?

faint flare
#

They're meant for BiS crafters, who want to test their skills

#

Not your average macro joe

marble drift
#

that me

blissful lava
#

How Admirable

marble drift
#

I am macro-joe

faint flare
#

For people who KNOW how to craft

#

They're crafters endgame

blissful lava
#

Thanks Anyways

tacit scroll
#

Anyone know how much Cocobolo Lumber generally goes for?

marble drift
#

that is entirely server dependant.

#

you can check in #kupo-bot-spam with some commands

tacit scroll
#

It can track market prohibited stuff?

#

because you can only trade it, so it's like the mats people put in party finder

faint flare
#

If its Market prohibited then you generally cant trade it

tacit scroll
#

I know, this one you can tho

marble drift
#

oh I was unaware it was prohibted. yeah Vinyl's right

tacit scroll
#

and all the other FC crafting mats

#

you can trade them

faint flare
#

No one really sells them. Because its for upgrading and use in Schematics

tacit scroll
#

Ok, I was just wondering if anyone knew the going rates, not whether or not they're trade-able, or if people sell them!

faint flare
#

Going rate is 0

tacit scroll
#

Clearly.

marble drift
#

we get it mate

faint flare
#

Dont complain if you dont like the answer

simple shore
#

yeah, idk what you want to hear here. i see a cocolobo PF maybe once every 2-3 weeks. its impossible to give you an answer.

tacit scroll
#

I only tried to clarify what I was looking for and you were a jerk.

simple shore
#

lmao

tacit scroll
#

So yeah, thanks for nothing lol

simple shore
#

imagine calling Vinyl a jerk

#

literally the most patient mf'er in this channel i think

tacit scroll
#

It's just the typoical reddit bs lol. I'll see myself out

marble drift
#

bye

simple shore
#

Well then

#

Respect to that man

#

He self-yeeted off the server

#

Way to follow through

faint flare
#

Just inters

pseudo quartz
#

This feels like a stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer:

I'm currently playing the Free Trial version of XIV, and I was wondering how you "get" Stormblood.

They sell the starter edition, advertised as ARR+Heavensward, and Shadowbringers, which is standalone.

strange coral
#

Shadowbringers includes Stormblood

faint flare
#

If you're on trial you need complete edition

#

Or starter edition + Shadowbringers

#

Which is the same thing

pseudo quartz
#

Ah, I assumed it was one or the other.

faint flare
#

No

#

You OWN NOTHING

#

You cant use dlc for a game you DONT OWN

simple shore
#

Generally speaking buying Starter is a dumb idea

#

idk why it even exists still

marble drift
#

yeah isn't complete just better?

faint flare
simple shore
#

Yeah, but i mean more along the lines of

#

The free trial being what it is

faint flare
#

Probably when expansion comes out and they toss stormblood into starter

#

Or something

#

Idk

pseudo quartz
#

That's sorta why I was wondering, whether the starter edition was just like, unlocking all the weird disabled stuff from the free trial or not

green grail
#

yep

simple shore
#

Yeah thats basically all it is.

#

So zero reason to buy it

pseudo quartz
#

Gotcha.

#

Thanks for the help everyone! I hit 60 and haven't even reached the start of Heavensward yet so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up buying it so I was just doing some more research

leaden ginkgo
#

If I were to do transfer to another dc rn, how long would I be unable to play for?

#

Is it instant or theres waiting?

green grail
#

its pretty much instant

marble drift
#

maybe 20 minutes if stuff is a little slow?

leaden ginkgo
#

So i just prepare wveything, pay for transfer, log in and thats it

#

Oh ok

worthy rain
#

The best is to wait info about new expansion to purchase complete

marble drift
#

expect instant but don't discount the possibility of a little wait

#

maybe do then go make lunch or something

#

just to be safe

worthy rain
#

As that new expansion will be included in complete

And free trial players should buy complete, not starter and SHB

#

But directly complete edition

pseudo quartz
#

Yeah, I was gonna wait till then to decide just to see if anything changes. The... 5th is the announcement, I think?

worthy rain
#

Rumoured it is about new expansion (or confirmed?)

marble drift
#

Nothing is confirmed until we see it

#

Rumours abound however

pseudo quartz
#

I'm excited regardless. I got a decent laptop over the holidays which is why I finally started trying it

#

I think the Crystal Tower 'oops all FF3' alliance raid sealed the deal for me, but it's all been pretty amazing so far, and I heard Heavensward is better

#

Then stormblood. Just is. Then shadowbri gers is amazing.

robust crow
#

crystal tower is a recurring story element

pseudo quartz
#

Ooh, more ff3.

lilac ingot
#

PS5 with 4k tv or suped up pc? Which is better for this?

marble drift
#

XIV has a myriad of other FF references

#

other main characters outfits, references, bosses, themes

robust crow
#

no console is ever beating a "suped up pc"

lilac ingot
#

I heard this game was an exception to that rule since ps5.

robust crow
#

you heard wrong

#

the ps5 version of ff14 is just a reskinned ps4 client

faint flare
#

Ps5 is just ps4 pro

robust crow
#

there aren't any enhancements to it

faint flare
#

For 14

leaden ginkgo
#

Well I am soon getting ps5 so I will try, but I always used ps for ffxiv, only lag is real on ps4

#

Hopefully ps5 runs lot better

robust crow
#

it will run it a lot better

pseudo quartz
#

If you're going PS4 normal to PS5, it'll definitely be better

leaden ginkgo
#

I literally have 15 20 fps in limsa lmao on ps4

marble drift
#

it will of course, but its not going to be perfect.

robust crow
#

ps5 users will get higher and smoother frames with effects on

lilac ingot
worthy rain
robust crow
#

well yes because the ps5 runs an SSD and the ps4 pro runs a spinning platter

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah ps4 loading time is annoyinf

marble drift
robust crow
#

of course the ps5 load time is faster

simple shore
robust crow
#

but you can fix that by installing an SSD in your ps4 or ps4 pro

leaden ginkgo
#

All my mates load in way earlier before me and Im awkwardly sitting at black screen xd

vernal urchin
#

ffxiv is the first ff game i've ever played so /shrug

robust crow
#

that cuts down the loading times significantly

#

Hey guys returning player and feel completely lost on the last thing i was doing. Can someone link an updated nin rotation i can follow and practice?

leaden ginkgo
#

Waiting to load in for me

worthy rain
leaden ginkgo
#

Pro

lilac ingot
leaden ginkgo
#

I never had normal ps4

#

I started ps4 when pro was released for the first time

robust crow
#

if your budget is $400 then yes the ps5 is your best performance option

leaden ginkgo
#

I have the last of us 2 edition rn

tawny hatch
#

Nice questions

robust crow
#

but no ps5 is comparing to a $1000 or more PC

leaden ginkgo
#

Last one was louad like jet tbh

Much help

wow
