you can from the east
It's a very long swim.
from the east, right side
Your best option is to go to Kugane and take the gate out to the Ruby Price.
Swim from there.
this is the full mape of the ruby sea
you do not need to go thru the isle of zekki
okay as someone who has not touched scholar
tf does "eating the fairy" mean and do
you just go east, then north
god i fucking hate not having a full map
the lvl 70 skill makes the fairy disapear
!action Dispersion
would have been great to see that earlier
!action Dissipation
Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.
Its this
okay that just really gave me whiplash when I saw that on the sub, thanks
Yes, that is possible.
😄
For the ShB Trust system, ||is the NPC dialog still available after you beat the main story? I'm about to finish ShB and I don't want to miss anything||
There's a scenario tab to be able to select story only trusts
Thanks
use of max out poetics?
!faq poetics
is there a way to see the hunts your on?
the marks are in your inventory in the 2nd tab
Open your inventory, and switch to the key items tab. You'll see items like this in there
You can right click and use it to see the list
cheers
Is there a % for direct hit before it becomes curve out flat?
what is det and what does it do
diminished?
Its actually more akin to Versatility if you're coming from WoW
Is there any gear I get from SB msq that I should desynt because the materials I got are more valuable than the gil I'd get for selling it in market?
Is there a way to check what master recipes I've learnt?
in crafter log, in special recipe for the class u want to check
Click this button in your crafting log, and then check the dropdown. The number corresponds to book number.
thanks
@wheat plume usually no
at which crafter lvl can I learn master recipe 5?
materials aren't worth much, and you need several+time to make items, so items are usually worth more than materials
5/6 are 70, 7/8 are 80
ok, thxs
basically 2 master books per expansion
Thxs, some players said that the best way to find some items was desynt some stuff, so I was not sure to sell everything I got in msq
hmm the only things that'd come to mind would be FC3 demi materias, but they only come from specific crafting/gathering gear desynth, not combat stuff
there are battlecraft demis, but they're worth basically nothing anyway
desynth dungeon gear and such if you want to lvl desynth/get some money and don't need GC seals, but anything you can sell on the market I'd sell there unless it's too cheap and not worth listing
You should basically desynth everything you touch that you arent going to use, you dont want the appearance of, and you cant sell on the MB
what should I do with all the looted materia in my bag? put it on market or is there other use for it?
Low level materias
a few options really. you can keep it somewhere incase you need it, drop it on the marketboard or toss it in the materia combiner near Black Brush Station to hopefully turn it into a higher ranked one.
note the 3rd option is super risky.
oh great forgot about the combiner

Are the SB Ex trails soloable on a consistent basis by now, with current gear?
I doubt it but just wanna make sure
when do scholars pop "fey illumination"?
i know people pop whispering dawn when they anticipate raid damage or to help provide HoT after raid dmg
Lakshmi was done recently, but it basically requires i510+ Emerald weapon and food/pots as a Warrior
So not really achievable by most people at the moment
I usually use it for the magic resistance
Is there a best order to level all the crafters?
Yeah, only Lakshmi so far
Not sure if it's appropriate to ask this, but while I don't intend on using ACT, are the percentile ranks absolute or normalized based on your item level?
FFlogs can't differentiate ilvl
fflogs however can compare accordingy to the time the log was uploaded. logs uploaded in first week of raid are obviously uncomparable to logs uploaded in 12th week of raid
Besides Culinarian, it’s generally best to level them all up at roughly the same pace so you can efficiently share gear to save room in your armoury
Also so they can make materials for each other, which is why I put Culinarian as not as important to keep up to pace
Noob question again: Even though I love RP, as a new player, would it be best for me to start on one of those +EXP servers? The RP servers tend to have queue times from what I've seen.
If you're on Aether looking to get on Midgardsormr I'd do it if you can actually get onto Midgard cause somebody earlier mentioned that in NA people tend to actually play FFXIV and then RP when there's a content drought
You can still world visit the rp worlds if youre on that data centre and still create on a xp world
And keep the buff
Ohh... that's pretty amazing! That's kind of how GW2 did things.
Guess I'll start over on the EXP server then. Only got to level 7 so far.
You might have to wait a bit depending on if Midgard is still closed at this time of day
Which it might be since it's only 9 pm but it's also Monday
nah
thing
aight
i think i gotta do that
afraid of isntances rn
i cut it close wit ran'jit lol
Anyone know a good glamour that samurais/pugilists can use?

I don't personally know of any, but the folks over in #glamour-discussion might have some way of helping.
so is it best to level up all of the doh jobs simutaneously, except culinarian?
Yes
even then CUL benefits because you don't have to hang onto old gear for CUL
you could probably level CUL just turning in leves without any crafting involved though, especially certain leve tiers have vendor food you can turn in as long as you have leves and money
could also live without CUL, I rarely bother crafting my own food cause it isn't worth getting the 25mats and then the time crafting to save 1k for 45mins of crafting for me
Would it be possible to buy the story skip even if you're already caught up on MSQ
I just want the area maps
can you bring your chocobo with you to eureka?
no
chocobo only works in the open world
since eureka is considered an instance, you can't use gryshal greens
why doesn't anyone use party finder to buy items?
for example....you want something...you create party finder listing saying you would pay "x amount of gil for y item"
are healers supposed to have mp pots
its rare but some people do sell items through pf
it's mostly service selling you'll see though
its more efficient to just world hop and look through the mb of the servers, and if it isn't an acceptable price, to just wait
mp pots are nice to have on healer if you're doing a lot of raising, but they aren't necessary to have
no spoilers but if minfilia doesnt turn out to be a villain ill be so surprised
No if you've passed the quests that the story skip covers, you're unable to use it.
Those are for the Skysteel tools. Crafting/gathering relics, basically.
But I mean the NQ ones
NQ, no.
So I should sell them
damn, thanks though
Yeah nothing else to do but vendor them if they're not HQ.
what are all the relevant raid buffs
like trick]
embolden
chain strategem .etc
this should mostly still apply, only difference I can think of is MNK was changed to all damage instead of just phys https://i.redd.it/gfk2chxgn7331.png
oh also BRD got song 2%crit buff or whatever it is

One songs a crit buff, ones a damage buff and the other is something I forget
Probably DH
is there addons in this game for dps charts like in WoW and ESO?
I believe so yes. They're third party tho and technically mods, so don't talk about them at all ingame.
look up ACT, there's a bunch of plugins for it but it's not nearly as well developped as wow
cause it's 3rd party
You basically get everyone's numbers in a given fight or dungeon.
yeah that's pretty much was I was talking about
As well as a comparison via graph, critical/direct hits, biggest hit per person, and it even has a spot for limit break all on its own.
so odds are a lot of people use em but don't say anything?
yes.
and "technically" your odds of running into issues for talking about it are low, however if you use the info to tell people they're not playing properly, that'd basically fall under harassment using a 3rd party and then you're very likely to get banned
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but otherwise no one really gives a shit, you'll see streamers with damage meters all the time
yeaaah nvm then i'll probably pass ;p
basically parse for yourself
yeah I just wanted to judge dps as a tank lol
Wasn't the word from YoshiP or Squeenix or someone official "we don't know what you're talking about, please don't bring it up" while wiggling their eyebrows?
well you can judge them, but silently
its effectively a "don't ask, don't tell" type policy
I'm paraphrasing extremely and/or just making things up with that statement, so don't take it at face value.
they know players are going to use it, but so long as you don't use it to harass/abuse others they don't care
there hasn't been a world first without someone parsing as far as I'm aware, besides maybe the first coil ones when the game launched
The company knows for sure, just don't be a dick to other players about it because the people runnin the game have reason to ban you and don't because it's mostly benevolent information.
I might download something myself just to see numbers and where I am (i like that sort of thing)
meh I don't need to be a raider I can just craft and be richer than them >;0
i think a dps meter is mandatory to improve your performance
is there really much improving to be done in a game with GCDs 😛
Hoooooo boy, yes there is.
besides boss mechanics right
Let me put this into perspective:
If a dragoon is .5 seconds off his GCD timer, he misses a DoT right as a boss goes invincible, losing out on a ton of damage that could make or break the given run of a boss.
I think that's specifically Shiva.
Also boss mechanics are mind-meltingly complicated in comparison to WoW (did you mention you were from WoW? I can't remember)
I just spam the buttons before they're up hehe
oh no I played BDO
just knew about addons from other games
Ah, gotcha.
To summarize:
Yes there's a thing, yes it's technically not allowed, if you don't say anythin to anyone ingame then you're off scot free.
yeah pressing buttons right when I'm able to isn't a thing I have to think twice about ... i'm also a tank so uh I think it's not as important anyways? dunno I haven't done a lick of research on raids
Tank DPS is categorically worse than DPS DPS, naturally, but it still makes up a significant portion of damage the party deals.
my current experience has been watching 3min dungeon/trial guide doing dungeon/trial and yelling at healers for dying to aoes
That's kinda how it do. What level are you currently?
77
oh
I have like 38 quest left in ShB
That's a lot further than I was expecting.
So how hard is O9S-O11S unsync currently?
lol
the damage tanks deal is still significant
I am definitely noob as heck in comparison to people at this point probably ;3 but at least I research my heckin dungeon mechanics before I do em
Well, there's guides on getting your rotation good and proper, as there is technically one perfect way to play each job, but "you do you" works for 90% of things as long as you stay alive.
oh yeah sometimes I feel like DPS are legitimately afking
so I can see that my damage is .. decent on hp bars
What tank job do you play?
DRK
Nice.
Once you have experienced a party when everyone knows what they are doing
That shit is heavenly.
pfft I love duties for that reason
It will become pretty easy to sense a party with people half assing their job
I feel like queuing into duties gives me better parties than when I'm first clearing for a quest
next xpac should give tank a healer pull so I can save my teamates from aoes
I should pick up PLD again...
are there any dungeons while leveling that are memorable?
i'm 37 and these dungeons have all been very bland
Visually or
all of the ShB ones because of how awful the experience has been with other players :]
Dungeons later are more visual set pieces
visually especially but mechanically too i suppose
I'm still partical to the 63 and 65 dungeons
the sunken temple of quarn finally required me to do something as a tank lol, the rest have been tank n spank
but the dungeon itself was ugly
Thats casual content in a nutshell
Arr dungeons in general are just eh
Definitely show their age
ARR leveling dungeons are basically 1.0 dungeons reworked, so they're all ugly as fuck pretty much, although there's a decent enough variety(brayflox, manor and vigil are alright)
ARR 2.1+ dungeons look a lot better and are a lot more interesting
How does Request Meld work?
it lets someone with the proper crafting class to overmeld your crafted stuff
do I need their permission or something? or can i go to someone who'd AFK and just use them for melds?
how does desynthing gear work
they need to click stuff
oh
I can only do it to certain pieces
so you look for someone, then use request meld to meld the stuff agreed upon without having to trade them the gear+materias
it's only for crafted gear though, normal slot melds can be done via a materia melder NPC
desynthing requires you have the corresponding crafting job at 30+
I think it's 30 at least, might be 25
that's the skill to craft and desynth too
so leather stuff you can desynth, but plate armor you'd need armorer and so on
you just need at 30 though don't need to lvl them further for desynth
gotcha
Any way to speed up Skysteel gatherer tools?
I uh
I thought the first step was bad

How can I invite a free trial player to my pre-existing cross-world party?
Go to their world
do people usually charge for overmelding services?
Usually not but it can be a nice gesture to tip them for their time for a small amount if they want it
Guy gave me a few hundred k for overmelding his stuff
Though i was lucky so
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
alright cool
minfilia is trying to romance me
but i know she is secretly a villain im just waiting for her betrayal
Does Second coil 4 (nael) normal have enrage
Yes
All coils have an enrage
As they're the original high end raids equilivant to savage
Ranking season ended a couple days ago. Rank points no longer apply.
Bruh
Yeah, that one is outdated
It says those nodes appear at certain locations and times and the times and locations are outdated
which node are you looking for?
Fire Moraine is up right now
granular clay too
here try using this, they have built-in timers for the ndoes
i just started FF14 shb, on MSQ 71
the first time i go through leveling dungeons, is there any particular benefit
to using trusts
other than the instant queue
What is the best way to level from 45 to 50? Without MSQ?
leveling roulette and then either POTD or dzmael darkhold until 47, and aurum vale after 47
POTD?
palace of the dead, a special dungeon
basically it, also trust members cannot fail mechanics
depending on your PF luck, might be a noteworthy point
but you dont really earn anything towards a particular goal like a title or achievement?
there is a title to level all trusts to 80 iirc but its not something you have access to while leveling
ah
i pick trusts the first time i do a dungeon so i can take my time, look around and figure out mechanics "blind"
with trusts do you still wanna aim to have at least 1 of each role
like you /need/ a tank?
You can't go with trust without TH2D
The game doesn't allow it
Every ID you would have at least 4 NPC each with a role
he switches job based on whats missing basically

is there a guide for setting up dps meters in this server?
Hey guys, my friends and I are thinking about transferring to Aether, any tips on whether to go to Gilgamesh or Faerie?
faerie is kinda the unofficial lgbtq+ server i guess
and gilgamesh is just full of memes
used to be the raiding server, now it's just washed up
What's the raiding server now?
@tranquil glen https://github.com/FFXIV-ACT/setup-guide
Every server is a raiding server now.
The gilgamesh server is a raiding server meme is when a long long time ago, content was done by server.
I mean the server isn't too relevant, datacenter is somewhat
Now its by datacentre. Yup
The meme was people would brag and say their server is shit and transfer to gilgamesh to raid. A couple weeks later, they will come back to their old server, still not having cleared.
do i close act after im done setting everything up or do i have to leave it running?
maybe the next raid will give a2
leave it running whenever you're in game
& want to see dps etc
go attack somethin
run act as admin
i think i will need to restart game 1 sec
act doesn't need admin if it's using winpcap as i understand it
can someone help me with story hades? being in que now for 50 min (light)
and in general it's a bad idea to run anything as admin if you can possibly avoid it, due to security issues being WAY worse if exploited inside an app running as admin
it should have prompted at some point during install/config of act
to use winpcap. it's a library which lets act capture ffxiv packets without admin
in your FFXIV settings tab in act, what is the parse mode?
Question if you beat the Mizukume FATE, Foxy Lady FATE will spawn right?
is winpcap network an option there?
tyes winpcap network
did you install winpcap? if not you should do that
wait no, install https://nmap.org/npcap/, as it's modern and superior, and works with act
Try your DC channel or put up a PF
this the correct site?
It is a little bit early in a weekday for EU queues
sorry please see my edited message
blame SE :) we're doing something they don't want us doing
you can use the memory only mode but it's less accurate so why bother
are they that against it?
or use the plain network mode but it needs admin which is insecure
not THAT against it, just do absolutely nothing to help
and don't talk about it in game, and never mention someone else's performance
you will get banned
oh yes i have read up on that
sweet
This is regarding a code for merchandise I purchased for the game itself, regarding Matoya's Hat, is the code for this item region locked? I apolgize for the sudden question as well.
i just want to see how good im doing thats all
idk if you ever played WoW before; the toxicity of community comes from DPS meter mostly, SE trying to avoid that kind of community
i actually play wow lol
so anyway just slap npcap in there in winpcap compatibility mode, and maybe restart everything
should work
mogstation/merch item/gifts should be region free
okay so in regular heroic / mythic dungeons i agree no reason to be toxic over dps, but in higher tier content i dont think it is toxic to call out somebodys dps
just my opinion
Oh, that's awesome, thank you. Because I have the Japanese edition of the merch
yeah, that's the thing. you can't do high level content without a dps meter. anything with a dps check just becomes impossible because you don't know who's holding the team back
they just don't want to have to deal with it, you can still kick people or leave if performance isn't up to par
There is a chance for foxy lady to spawn after outfoxed
@forest sage how do you know who isn't up to par without a dps meter?
yeah makes me kind of wonder if kicking somebody out of a group for not performing would be bannable
I didn't say without
oh okie
yeah IDK what the rules are in party finder groups with underperforming members
I said they just don't want to deal with the issue, but if you're using a parser you can still do things based on the numbers without arguing about them
I think most people opt out to leave though if there's someone underperforming too much
so long you don't say anything and kick it should be ok, as leader you can kick without reason
like if it's clear you're not gonna kill due to the enrage and stuff, for learning parties and what not it often doesn't really matter, and obviously for all casual content it doesn't matter at all
as for all the steps to go through to get the parser to work, a large part of the issue is there's no dedicated 3rd party for FFXIV, ACT is an EQ2 parser after all, then it was adapted to XIV with a plugin, and the guy who makes ACT has very little interest in fixing stuff for XIV
if xiv had something like curseforge that would be awesome
and I guess no one wants to spend so much time to make their own fully functional parser tool for XIV
what issues are there?
curseforge and wow addons in general work very differently
i use a bunch of addons on wow
wow addons have direct access to the wow API, it's a lot easier to make addons that way
thats why i kinda went the dps route in this game, i main healing in wow and i dont think i could heal with xiv frames
looks way way harder
wow addons work well because blizz provides an environment and api for them to run inside the game. this means that they don't have to hack into the game from 'outside', and are limited in what they can do so they can't be used for cheating
there is a mouseover mod, it makes healing nicer
yeah thats what i use in wow
no I mean in ffxiv
oh okei
I just select stuff but kinda got used to it, due to the longer GCD/more predictable damage, it's not too bad to heal in XIV with the base UI imo
btw did you get act working baepor?
in lower tier content in wow click healing is fine but in higher mythic+ keys it would be impossible for me to heal without addons
oh im doing it now one sec lol
lol I get kinda invested in these things
yeah but the pace is very different, in XIV it's a lot easier to switch target, cast an oGCD then target the boss again during a 2.5s GCD
it sure is possible, but ugh it's a pain
i'm lazy, addons which make my life easier are super welcome
yeah tbh the lack of addons is really one of the only things i dislike about this game
everything else i like
i have been getting used to the gcd
Will only 1 Eden Savage Chest spawn if only 7/8 players are eligible for rewards?
@tranquil glen https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher there are a few addons
the msq stuff is a bit of a drag but that isn't the game being bad, just my own impatience
yes, only one chest will spawn
all 8 players need to be eligible for rewards in order to get full rewards
i might get more addons in the future, for now i just wanna get meter working lol
sure
okay finished installing npcap
also, are there any other heavensward beast tribes that reward combat exp that isn't the bug tribe
do i just run it on winpcap network again?
yeah
the one other thing which can go wrong is the websocket url in the overlay, but first get into combat and generate some data
Both the vanu vanu and vath are combat
Moogles are crafting only

gottem! :)
is it suposed to stay that big?
oh okay i toggled collapse but i didnt see resize
the options are inside act, in the overlay general tab
i couldnt find a resize option
ohhhhh okay idk how i didnt see that earlier
thanks
nw, I love it when people enjoy using good tools lol
i cant play any mmo without meters on haha
Weekly
i saw someone wearing a the CUL outfit as glam for a dragoon, how do you do that?
Probably found a different gear with the same model?
!itemglam craftsman's apron
nope not that, it was the cul top
Earlier I got some Hetairos Jackboots while playing as gunbreaker, but for whatever reason it wouldn't let me need on them.
Why is that?
did yuo already have one in your inventory
Can someone tell me how Foxy Lady works?
I defeat Mizukume a few hours ago
will Foxy Lady spawn?

so you basically do the pre-requisite fates, and if she's not on spawn cooldown
her fate will spawn in one of the given locations
foxy lady has a 36 hour cooldown but the prerequiste FATE do not. you just gotta try your luck or do it just after server maintenance
as that has the highest chance of it being off CD
how do ppl on controller do filter targetting
something new with Foxy Lady
We havent gotten Foxy Lady yet
but this is Mizukume
and oh my god there's tons of dialouge
No, I was able to greed on it and obtain it.
That's what's weird
were you in a premade party before you queued in
Just bought the game, can anyone give me a rundown of what classes are considered good or bad?
!faq meta
Jobs are pretty well balanced in XIV
i wanna use a katana, my inner weeb is calling me
And if they are under performing, they will get adjustment
It is more important to pick what you like, as you will be more likely to put in the effort to improve yourself
huh, thats really nice
Should I expect to dump money on this game? hows the monitizezation?
no
money only buys you cosmetics and timeskips
there is a monthly sub fee, that and buying the base games are the only required expenditures
gotcha
The closest thing to P2W is extra retainers as an additional monthly payment, which mainly act as your bank/inventory storage for the game.
By default the game gives you two free retainers, which give a combined 350 slots of storage. For most people that’s enough unless you like to hoard crafting materials, tokens from fights, and furniture.
Are there no crafteable Shiva Weapons? Could've sworn I saw them once in my Crafting Menu 
Nope
the only glowy shiva weapons are obtained from trading in diamond dust and the weapons obtained from the shiva extreme trial
So next tuesday will be ishgard housing?
No
Nothing like that has been confirmed
If you're not from a jp world chances are your world isn't even remotely close to finishing this phase either
If we get Ishgard housing this year i'll be surprised.
The earliest I’m expecting Ishgard housing to come out is early 6.x, like 6.1 or 6.1x
If its anything like Kugane, we might get it as a christmas present at the earliest.
I think Kugane came in like 4.1 or so?
the next step of relic weap would be 5 lower ilevels than the edenmorn weap, right?

I think 515 or 520 at most
probably, though it could depend on how many bozja updates they want to release with 5.5 and later
Too early for relic to go to 530
actually yeah
non-raiders can only get 520's right now, and with a 7 week wait inbetween
Hold on.. Do you get spiritbond by hitting the simulation dummies..?
Oh, so it's basically a bind trigger, I see
I'd be down to smack the dummy forever if it gives you spiritbond no matter what though 😛
na starting combat binds gear to you, but you only get spiritbind progress on kills, not for fighting
There are far better uses of your time. Combat materia is not particularly valuable.
Honestly gear bonds pretty fast in current endgame stuff
kind of hate the new system though
What new system?
Yeah it’s a lot more annoying to get the lower grade stuff
I've only been playing for 5 months
Basically the current system only bonds gear when completing instances/dungeons
You get spiritbond at the end of the dungeon/activity, rather than per-kill. Which basically means i dont hear the sound anymore and i forget to actually extract materia half the time.
The old one bonded per enemy killed, which let you spirit bond farm on the over world
Oh, I see
oh you can't bind outside anymore?
Question: How do I make a good macro to target the lowest HP% party member on my team?
Are questions regarding ACT allowed here, and if not, where would I go?
there were a bunch of questions/answers earlier about it, I assume it's fine as long as you're not posting logs of people(or at least not with their names visible)
Oh heck no, I just wanna get it set up to see how I personally am doing, but I seem to have hit a setup snag.
...never mind. Apparently restarting it seems to have fixed my problem..
well can try to help, there is a FFXIV ACT and a usual FAQ on the guides
ah yes it'll do that, restarting it helps with a bunch of the stuff especially whne first setting it up
As far as I know, that's both not possible, and probably a bad idea for macro usage.
The "smartest" you can make macros is stuff like <t>, <tt>, <mo> (target, target of target, mouseover respectively)
etc.
if you're gonna mouseover, literally just click them
cant really think of a way to conditional target
The only real conditional targetting a macro can do is if it hits a condition where the thing its pointed at doesnt exist / is out of range it'll skip
at most you can make a macro that always targets the tank using <2> since as a healer, the tank should always be <2> but that may also be iffy in 8 man content where <3> could be the main tank instead of <2>
ok
Ehh okay, I got almost everything taken care of, then I got this on the Test Connection..
I'm not sure what I need to do here.
add antivirus and/or windows firewall exception, run act as administrator
...I'm an idiot.
I just re-read the message and saw it's looking for the game to actually be RUNNING
that too lol
Is there a place to see all the statue emotes like Odin's?

The ones you have to buy the physical figurines for
the omega ones are on the ffxiv instagram
but the old ones yeah, just look up zantetsuken/iceheart/ultima emote on youtube
thats all of them
Well I don't know the names of all of them so I can't look them up on youtube. If I type figure emotes or the likes nothing pops up but the most recent ones
thats the names
Ty. I guess the rest of the figurine rewards are something other then emotes? I see one of them is a minion for wind-up bahumat
yeah it's only the meister-quality figurines, if that's how you spell it, that have emotes
other merch is usually minions, orchestrion scrolls, sometimes an accesory or a hat
or nothing
Alright, tyvm^^ the one I hadn't found yet is the ice one so I'm looking it up now. Thank you for the help :)
yoo help
so
fishing in the diadem right?
i'm level 30 fisher, got some fishes, approved them from scripts
what do i do with them?
i can't seem to be able to desynthesise
I think you just sell them to a vendor for Gil
but they're only worth 1 gil
You need a level 30 cul to desynth fish for mats
Either keep them or junk them until then
i'm a bit confused about how the glamor works, you can only use glamour that that class could wear, how does that work with the stuff from mogstation, if i saw a thing i really liked, could i just apply it to every job if i want to be lazy
yes, mogstation sets can be worn by any class/job, crafters and gatherers included
is there decent glamour stuff that also works with every job, that can be found ingame?
yeah tons
or are you usually stuck looking at class stuff and working with that
honestly, a shit ton.
oh nice
Nearly everything is role based or universal
The only jobs stuck with class stuff is Ninja and Dragoon since they use unique pieces of gear
you can either buy it from market (in game) , or become a crafter and make glamour yourself
yeah if you go to the last few pages of the marketboard for e.g. chestpieces, that's usually where the lvl 1 all-classes stuff gets sorted
from shitty 100 gil shirts to the new casual attire that's still worth a couple mil
ah cool, i was thinking about starting out on crafting here soon, any like tldr,or a webpage to teach me how to get into crafting, i have read that crafting skills benefit eachother if all levelled at once, but that all sounds pretty overwhelming
oh, well okay
The main benefits now is so that you don't have to have ~10 different sets of gear
skill-wise they don't interact anymore, every crafter has the same skills now, it's more of a convenience thing now where a. you can replace all your gear for all of them at once, and only keep one set, and b. you can craft materials needed to craft stuff on other crafters
it's been simplified
so still worth it to level them all for making materials for eachother but no crazy synergy stuff anymore?
oh i see what you mean
oof
Oh No
I can't remember the last time I used more than 30 slots a page since I maxed everything out
That isnt considered normal?
looks at own armoury chest
If you don't know what you're doing, yeah that's normal
I've set mine to funnel new gear into my inventory first
And all of my gear turn ins and desynths have armory chest items filtered out

My Ishgard reward was not delivered because that mailbox tab was full, should I contact GM or wait some more?
GM mails shouldn't have limits, if you clear your mail then relog it should be there I think, assuming it's been delivered, not sure they delivered everything yet
maybe try emptying it and there's like a "receive purchased/received items" button
in the mailbox
I tried everything, and lodestone page on every language says the rewards will not be delivered if mailbox is full
then you probably won't receive the rewards 🤔
you can try the one-time item recovery service but not sure if that applies
na they'll get there later or you'll have to ask support
season one people got multiple letters if they ranked in a few classes, so I thought it was a common problem
and wondered how they resolved it
They solved it by only rewarding people based on whatever job ranked higher
I'll contact GM tomorrow if I don't recieve the mail by then
how to buy the full game on steam?
Go to Final Fantasy XIV Online
and then on that product page there is a complete edition bundle
That would get you everything
has the base game and all expansions
is a11s soloable with a i510 gear?
how does the Foxy Lady Spawns?
will she be a guaranteed spawn so long you complete the Mizukume FATE?

No, plus she has a long cooldown like other super fates
Im not sure about tamamo but all the other super fates have drastic weather changes when they show up
She doesn't iirc
Wave
Is there a place where you can practice your rotation w/o having to wait for cooldowns?
Is Machinist a viable job?
All jobs are viable.
I haven’t played in like a year so idk if much changed since
The split between top and bottom is like....10%. This isnt WoW where top DPS does twice the damage of bottom
stone sky sea dummies, but they only start at level 60
So I’m still trying to decide on a “main” Ik you can be every job..but I’m trying to decide between DRG, BRD or RDM. The end goal is to learn end game content/raids. Just looking for suggestions/ideas. Any help would be appreciated
do you have them all at 80
Is it possible to mail items across world servers?
Servers yes. Data Centers No

Apparently it stopped being bad with ShB
thank you!
tbh it wasnt really bad before either. it just became....alot less of a pain in the ass to play.
New MCH is very intuitive in comparison
RDM is at 76, other two are at 72
MCH is Edgar it can only be good
tl;dr combo wasn't guaranteed, was a % chance to proc, on top of juggling ammo, turret, heat, hot shot, and a lot more I'm forgetting
Wildfire + the 1.5 second GCD buff, flamethrower tick RNG/kinda
it was fun now its braindead 
It was very ping reliant
rng is never fun
I'd say get them all to 80 first and compare how they actually play at endgame, learn some openers etc
Basically suffered the "anything you can do I can do better" effect when you compared stormblood bard
I have yet found a use for flamethrower. I just use spreadshot and move
it was less rng than dnc and rdm have now, you could set up the "combo" in interesting ways with ammo, doing a 1-2-1 before raid buffs then 3-2-3 for higher potency gcds.. but that's #general-discussion talk
it's a DPS gain on 2+ enemies since it ticks every second
Yeah. The dragoon is cool, but I don’t really like the positionals it’s hard to see when everyone is all stacked up. I’m on the console as well
It's the only "DoT" to do so
But as a result it's 1000 potency on all mobs in the cone over 10 seconds
It's pretty neat for when you wanna lazy
Can just disable other player effects if you're having issues but you learn how to play with them on eventually
Why did your name change from orange to white
hey guys, quik question. i am a lvl25 lancer on free trial. can i still decide if i wanna main in steam or SQE? more like upgrade my free trial into one of those two.
Where did you get your free trial?
from sqe
Then yes
cool. how about buying gametime?
bcus steam store dont have that option other than starter edition and shadowbringers
^
thank you ❤️
You just don't buy game time off of steam
but if you use steam you CAN use your steam wallet for subscription
i see
Which is like, a non benefit
so lets say i want to buy an outfit. are they going to redirect me to the online store in sqe if i play on steam?
Yes
Yes
thanks. you guys been helpful. so i got upto lv60 to decide then.
No problem 👍
Mornin' everyone, where i can find info or help about monk (currently a lvl 60 monk looking for single target bar and aoe bar help)
^
Its literally free damage
You use it while waiting for your global cooldown to come back
Slap it on cooldown
There's no reason not to use it
Later on you'll get stuff that can reset the bloodletter cooldown much quicker so you can sometimes just be rapid firing that alot while doing other things
Yeah I’ve definitely enjoyed the bard so far. It’s cool when the dots proc your skills.
I currently have the waiver in craftsmanship 1277 and 782 of control in addition to 301 of CP. Is there a macro that helps me improve the quality of the objects to farm yellow coins?
at which level i will receive a quest to become summoner? 30?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
See here
thanks
I have 2k yellow scrips but I already bought everything that interested me
what should I get with em
If crafter, buy mats to sell on the MB. If gatherer, same thing or buy cordials for yourself.
Which mats sell for the most cash ?
I need them moneys
With crafter scrips ofc
gatherer
**
Can you recover Bozja weapons from an NPC? I really want to throw them away as they're filling my armory space
Do we know if the Ishgardian Restoration Mounts are going to be exclusive/unobtainable after the event ends?
You'll have to check your server's MB. I don't know what popular lately.
With Crafter Scrips, you can either buy materia for sale, or with yellows buy Slithersand / whites buy Sublime Solution. You'll probably get the most money for materia though.
You can buy gatherer materia with gatherer scrip
Oh. Gatherer scrips, not nearly as valuable. Yellows can be spent on old aethersands, a few old cosmetic crafting items / housing items, nothing special. White can be spent on levinstrikes which is likely the most efficient way to dispose those for gil.
Since gatherer materia isnt worth nearly as much
I don't have whites yet lol
The fates
notorious monsters, the fates that popup
im tryna find a FC in jenova but i don think theres any recruiting
anyone know where to search?
Try the community finder https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/?dc=Aether&worldname=Jenova&type=fc
would it be a good idea to pay for the world transfer service and move my character to a smaller world for the exp bonus or is that no longer a thing
the bonus only gets applied on newly created characters on that world
can't get it through transfer
Thanks for the clarification
might still transfer so I have better oppertunities to buy housing
probably will wait until I have lots of gil and stuff though
tbh any NA server you move to is going to be effectively equally competitive for housing if you dont already own a plot
I wouldnt waste my money on such a thing
isn't there a limit to how much gil you can bring with you when you transfer worlds?
So are there no options to get a plot?
There was a window of opportunity a week ago, but that's come and gone
there is auto-demolition of plots. so new plots will open up every now and then
you just have to keep checking
So now its "wait for a plot to get levelled by the timer and compete with 20 people to be the one that clicks when the hidden timer expires"
it 10 or 100mil, plus same on each retainer, even in the worst case scenario 30 mil should be enough for a small and a medium
so like even in the newest worldsd I'm gonna have this issue?
oh nope they lifted it to 999,999,999
On any NA server, yes
This has been an ongoing problem for over a year, lol
Do plots ever get auctioned?
That's not how the game works
I'm still new to XIV and trying to learn all the ins and outs
I don't know how housing works
only that there's a shortage
is there any downside to training at a dummy that's significantly lower level than you?
due to the random lockout timer the plot gets after relinquish/autodemolish, its practically impossible to sell it player to player
you can technically sell a FC house by selling the whole FC, inviting the buyer, transferring leadership and leaving, but you basically lock yourself out of joining all other FCs
no
do you have to pay like rent for the land or whats the timer about
no rent
you have 45 to enter the house or it is auto demolished
I more so mean in the longrun
after I do all the expansions
and am rich in gil
there is always apartment space available, and apartments aren't expensive
I have a dream to one day have 10,000,000 gil
it's trivial compared to a housing
how much gil
10m gil isn't alot
ok 100,000,000 gil
i believe it's 300,000
is there a way to make /read show SMN weapon?
but im not 100% sure
300K for FC apartment, 500K for private apartment
apartments are 500k
Seems like I have a while to go
I guess I'm poor right now
I have 14,000 gil
lol
I'm level 38 though
not very far thru the game
YouTubers are saying to just do the main scenario quests for a long as possible
The game is 90% story quests
ye because the main story unlocks a LOT of the game’s content
So yea thats accurate
Then housing shouldn't be your concern tbh
I know not yet
if you're only level 38 focus on story
Yea
I'll def start with an apartment but one day I want a real house in the game
😛
should I get a retainer yet?
it's unlocked
The best way to get gil consistantly is to level crafters but you cant do that until the end of Heavemsward
no reason to not get your 2 free retainers
Go to any major city state and talk to a retainer vocate to get your retainers
They're usually next to the marketboards
wait they're free?
I thought you had to pay for them lol
do they fight with you or are they just for item storage
the ones past the first two, you have to pay for
they are your storage/auction house, can also send them out on ventures to go gather things once you've done the quest "An Ill-Conceived Venture"
ah cool
I need to go back and do my class quests at some point
I've been ignoring them to focus on the story
U need to do class quests. If you are higher than level 30, you should upgrade your class
Usually
Do we know if the Ishgardian Restoration Mounts are going to be exclusive/unobtainable after the event ends?
All mounts except the Pegasus will remain market tradable
yeah need to take a couple of hours one day and do em

Regardless if the ranking ends or not
from what the devs have mentioned, the venue will continue as it is a resource for DoH/L levelling
but ye what estelle said
Class quests for fighting classes should be every five levels in ARR regardless. At the very least, get your job stone. Like....now
I'd try to hit your class quests as they pop up, but I'd say definitely. Although it's easy to level muhh faster then the main quests
I think I was almost 40 when I hit Sylph Management
So I had a stock pile of white mage quests to do
@rigid pecan catgirl might not be able to. Many people are overleveled in ARR. The job stone is locked behind msq
Very easy. I'm in free trial right now, hit 60, and havent reached the start of Heavensward yet
This is true. I am assuming they've reached that point. Regardless, it's good practice to do them as they pop up.
If your MSQ level is past 20, then you can go unlock your job
Yes, Sylph Management
I believe that also unlocks the chocobo?
no
the chocobo mount unlocks shortly before Sylph Management, when you join a GC
that's tied to joining a grand company
the combat choco can be unlocked as soon as you're 30 and have the mount, regardless of MSQ
Hey guys, so I was wondering when I join a grand company? It says online around level 20 I'll get a story line quest to join one but I'm already 25 still no quest.
Ah I see, thank you.
Do sale notifications on the MB come through in an instanced area? Specifically, the Diadem.
I've never seen it, but I'm generally not paying attention to my chat log in there.
No
tyvm Thought so, but wasn't positive
Should I worry about working on a crafting class at an early level or wait till I've advanced more?
It can wait if you want. It's completely optional.
You don't actually have to craft at all in this game
Up to you. Crafting/gathering isn't a required piece of content.
Don't give in to peer pressure
If you're on the free trial, I'd suggest waiting, though.
That's honestly the reason I got into it... Because everyone else was doing it. But I rarely do any crafting, even after leveling all of them to 70+
Do you need to be rank 15 in bozja to join the BA equivalent launching with 5.45?
probably rank 15 isn't the highest rank with 5.45 anymore if they make it like eureka were the lvl did go up in each new part
but we're not getting a new area afaik
just an instanced "raid" added to the current bozja
is this whole right half of the map locked behind story?
i'm supposed to be in othard right now but I came back to try to get aether currents
I tried but I can't find any entrance to the right half
yes, bottom right half will be available later on in the story
I can't get to the right half on top either tho
well, guess i'll go get what I can in the peaks
the only aether current thats in the upper half of the right side in in the river
and in the section that you already explored
You need to progress through story to get all the currents anyway
yea, I just thought I'd pick up the ones I could get first because I tried my best to keep up with them in heavensward
you should have access to 5 aether currents where you are currently in the story for the peaks
open world currents that is, with 2 quest currents
the rest will be available once you come back
You can get to the other side if someone has a multi seat mount and gives you a ride

as someone who just beat 4.0, should I watch the Announcement Showcase or would I be risking spoilers?
Probably not a good idea
Probably spoilers for 6.0
If anything ask again after it and we can tell you if there are parts you can watch
aight, thanks!
What do the letters next to enemy names mean?
Just an overworld id
Sorta to tell them apart from another
Its like this is mob A
Thats mob B
Etc.
Hello, i jst hit level 53 and still not knowing the rotations for a proper healer. Any guides out there?
Which healer
White Mage

sweet thanks
So hardware talk for a second. What would it be like to play FF XIV on a 65 or 75 inch TV vs my current 44 inch TV
Would it be too big to be useful?
Probably too big. I play on a 32 inch and i even find it too big
I find 44 so far to be a sweet spot for me
but been considering a larger display
My graphics card supports it
I bought a 24 inch Acer monitor
nice
we're moving in march, I gotta measure my new bedrooms wall to decide what to get
could also do two wall mounted 44 inch panels potentially
not sure what the viewing angle would look like though
that's the big issue
I'm sitting close to it at my deskk
So I have gotten WVR, GSM, and BSM to lv80. What is the next best/relevant craft to cap? I did those 3 first so I could outfit the rest of my crafters with gear for their levels
@gentle relic wanna take this to #technology-discussion I don't want to disrupt game questions
@south roost Hope someone here answers your question
All of them at once. You could have used the same gear from WVR, GSM, and BSM on the rest.
I found it difficult to make good gear while syncing them. The crafts where too hard(though I am more experienced now so it might be different)
But now that those 3 are 80 I don't see much point in syncing them as they don't scale much with the rest besides the odd cross class tool crafting
Well you can make stuff with weaver easily now with trained eye
just arrived at Kugane with lvl 61 crafters, should I buy gear from vendors or just lvl up to do crafter quests and get gear from there?
Assuming I wasn't going to sync, what class should I prioritize (and why)?
Which alexandra savage is best for light farm?
a9s
Hmm which one is that soul of creator?
"eyes of the creator"
Ohh
so my friend and i started characters in different areas. what lvl do we meet each other?
ty!
not your character level
Yes
yes
gotcha
I've been thinking of getting back into ffxiv but cant decide since id need tgo buy the new xpac, is it worth it? whats up w the end game content
The current expac, Shadowbringers, is fucking awesome. Endgame content is plentiful and difficult even in normal fights, with savage/extreme trials testing everyone’s limits.
Gear looks cool, skills look awesome, everyone’s chosen job is effective and excellent in its own ways (except for BLU, it’s still a very fun meme).
question is there a site to see the whole list of all the quests so i know on what expansion and stuff im on
kinda wanna hurry to the other expansions wanna do raids and stuff
Would I be able to catch up to current end game content before the next xpac? seeing as the new one is supposed to be announced in february?
oooh thanks love
Next expansion probably wont be released until like September or something so plenty of time
Plenty plenty
Hell, I started in august of last year, and I’m at current content
XD
With a significant amount of “I’m gonna do something other than the MSQ today” sprinkled in
XD
its not like there is that much current endgame content. but like all mmos its a do your thing kinda deal
thats a crazy amount not gonna lie
current content is only 4 savage fights and an extreme
How many hours ?@dense hound
with an upcoming ultimate
/playtime?
