You can.

twilit arch

yes

#

you can

forest sage
#

you can from the east

open coral
#

It's a very long swim.

vast torrent
#

the "open sea" part it shows

#

IS MOUNTAIN

forest sage
#

from the east, right side

open coral
#

Your best option is to go to Kugane and take the gate out to the Ruby Price.

#

Swim from there.

twilit arch
#

this is the full mape of the ruby sea

#

you do not need to go thru the isle of zekki

potent lava
#

okay as someone who has not touched scholar
tf does "eating the fairy" mean and do

forest sage
#

you just go east, then north

vast torrent
#

god i fucking hate not having a full map

forest sage

the lvl 70 skill makes the fairy disapear

would have been great to see that earlier

Thanks Vinyl 😄

Spell names >.<

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||

faint flare
#

There's a scenario tab to be able to select story only trusts

rose holly
#

Thanks

use of max out poetics?

!faq poetics

gentle gorge
#

is there a way to see the hunts your on?

forest sage
#

the marks are in your inventory in the 2nd tab

simple shore
#

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

gentle gorge
#

cheers

viscid fossil
#

I'm a noob RDM... what is the recommended materia?

#

I'm only lvl70 for now.

faint flare
#

Prior to 80 it doesn't matter

#

At 80 crit > direct hit > det

viscid fossil
#

Is there a % for direct hit before it becomes curve out flat?

dire prawn
#

what is det and what does it do

viscid fossil
#

diminished?

faint flare
#

Not really

#

Det is a small damage and healing increase

open coral
#

Det is short for "determination"

#

In other games it's called "mastery"

simple shore
#

Its actually more akin to Versatility if you're coming from WoW

wheat plume
#

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?

iron rock
#

Is there a way to check what master recipes I've learnt?

wheat plume
simple shore
iron rock
#

thanks

forest sage
#

@wheat plume usually no

wheat plume
#

at which crafter lvl can I learn master recipe 5?

forest sage
#

materials aren't worth much, and you need several+time to make items, so items are usually worth more than materials

simple shore
#

5 is level 70 recipes.

#

as is 6

#

7/8 are 80

forest sage
#

5/6 are 70, 7/8 are 80

wheat plume
forest sage
#

basically 2 master books per expansion

wheat plume
forest sage
#

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

simple shore
#

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

viscid fossil
#

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

marble drift
#

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.

viscid fossil
#

oh great forgot about the combiner

leaden ginkgo
#

Are the SB Ex trails soloable on a consistent basis by now, with current gear?

#

I doubt it but just wanna make sure

marble drift
#

Not that i know of.

#

Last things I saw solo'd where heavensward stuff.

twilit arch
#

afaik none of them are soloable

#

maybe lakshmi? but not sure

spare plinth
#

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

obsidian patio
#

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

gentle gorge
#

Is there a best order to level all the crafters?

oak ice
#

Yeah, only Lakshmi so far

jovial tide
#

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?

oak ice
#

FFlogs can't differentiate ilvl

whole wasp
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Also so they can make materials for each other, which is why I put Culinarian as not as important to keep up to pace

long quiver
#

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.

dire prawn
#

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

faint flare
#

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

long quiver
#

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.

dire prawn
#

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

cold crescent
#

yo

#

just curious

#

is the last tank job quest hard at all

#

marble drift
#

nah

cold crescent

i think i gotta do that

#

afraid of isntances rn

#

i cut it close wit ran'jit lol

fair blaze
#

Anyone know a good glamour that samurais/pugilists can use?

cold crescent

genji armor

#

you can get coool samurai armor from the pvp store too

hazy shadow
#

I don't personally know of any, but the folks over in #glamour-discussion might have some way of helping.

spare plinth
#

so is it best to level up all of the doh jobs simutaneously, except culinarian?

faint flare
#

Yes

slate arrow
#

even then CUL benefits because you don't have to hang onto old gear for CUL

forest sage
#

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

lilac solstice
#

Would it be possible to buy the story skip even if you're already caught up on MSQ

#

I just want the area maps

manic flare
#

can you bring your chocobo with you to eureka?

slate arrow
#

no

#

chocobo only works in the open world

#

since eureka is considered an instance, you can't use gryshal greens

manic flare
#

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"

tropic notch
#

are healers supposed to have mp pots

gleaming mist
#

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

gleaming mist
lament basalt
#

no spoilers but if minfilia doesnt turn out to be a villain ill be so surprised

gloomy ice
frozen girder
#

Do these have a use?

gloomy ice
#

Those are for the Skysteel tools. Crafting/gathering relics, basically.

frozen girder
#

But I mean the NQ ones

gloomy ice
#

NQ, no.

frozen girder
#

So I should sell them

lilac solstice
#

damn, thanks though

gloomy ice
#

Yeah nothing else to do but vendor them if they're not HQ.

hardy gazelle
#

what are all the relevant raid buffs

faint flare
#

One songs a crit buff, ones a damage buff and the other is something I forget

#

Probably DH

forest sage
#

oh you're right thought they were all crit

#

dmg 1%, crit 2%, DH 3%

tropic notch
#

is there addons in this game for dps charts like in WoW and ESO?

dense hound
#

I believe so yes. They're third party tho and technically mods, so don't talk about them at all ingame.

tropic notch
#

oh shit

#

gotcha

forest sage
#

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

dense hound
#

You basically get everyone's numbers in a given fight or dungeon.

tropic notch
#

yeah that's pretty much was I was talking about

dense hound
#

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.

tropic notch
#

so odds are a lot of people use em but don't say anything?

dense hound
#

yes.

forest sage
#

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

dense hound
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

forest sage
#

but otherwise no one really gives a shit, you'll see streamers with damage meters all the time

tropic notch
#

yeaaah nvm then i'll probably pass ;p

forest sage
#

basically parse for yourself

tropic notch
#

yeah I just wanted to judge dps as a tank lol

dense hound
#

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?

forest sage
#

well you can judge them, but silently

tropic notch
#

LOL

#

what a legend

twilit arch
#

its effectively a "don't ask, don't tell" type policy

dense hound
#

I'm paraphrasing extremely and/or just making things up with that statement, so don't take it at face value.

twilit arch
#

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

forest sage
#

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

dense hound
#

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)

tropic notch
#

meh I don't need to be a raider I can just craft and be richer than them >;0

lament basalt
#

i think a dps meter is mandatory to improve your performance

tropic notch
#

is there really much improving to be done in a game with GCDs 😛

dense hound
#

Hoooooo boy, yes there is.

tropic notch
#

besides boss mechanics right

dense hound
#

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)

tropic notch
#

I just spam the buttons before they're up hehe

#

oh no I played BDO

#

just knew about addons from other games

dense hound
#

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.

tropic notch
#

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

dense hound
#

Tank DPS is categorically worse than DPS DPS, naturally, but it still makes up a significant portion of damage the party deals.

tropic notch
#

my current experience has been watching 3min dungeon/trial guide doing dungeon/trial and yelling at healers for dying to aoes

dense hound
#

That's kinda how it do. What level are you currently?

tropic notch
#

77

dense hound
#

oh

tropic notch
#

I have like 38 quest left in ShB

dense hound
#

That's a lot further than I was expecting.

fallen niche
#

So how hard is O9S-O11S unsync currently?

tropic notch
#

lol

lament basalt
#

the damage tanks deal is still significant

tropic notch
#

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

dense hound
#

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.

tropic notch
#

oh yeah sometimes I feel like DPS are legitimately afking

#

so I can see that my damage is .. decent on hp bars

dense hound
#

What tank job do you play?

tropic notch
#

DRK

dense hound
#

Nice.

warped nest
#

Once you have experienced a party when everyone knows what they are doing

dense hound
#

That shit is heavenly.

tropic notch
#

pfft I love duties for that reason

warped nest
#

It will become pretty easy to sense a party with people half assing their job

tropic notch
#

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

dense hound
#

I should pick up PLD again...

lament basalt
#

are there any dungeons while leveling that are memorable?

#

i'm 37 and these dungeons have all been very bland

faint flare
#

Visually or

tropic notch
#

all of the ShB ones because of how awful the experience has been with other players :]

faint flare
#

Dungeons later are more visual set pieces

lament basalt
#

visually especially but mechanically too i suppose

faint flare
#

I'm still partical to the 63 and 65 dungeons

lament basalt
#

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

faint flare
#

Thats casual content in a nutshell

#

Arr dungeons in general are just eh

#

Definitely show their age

forest sage
#

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

raven cliff
#

How does Request Meld work?

forest sage
#

it lets someone with the proper crafting class to overmeld your crafted stuff

raven cliff
#

do I need their permission or something? or can i go to someone who'd AFK and just use them for melds?

tropic notch
#

how does desynthing gear work

forest sage
#

they need to click stuff

raven cliff
#

oh

tropic notch
#

I can only do it to certain pieces

forest sage
#

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

tropic notch
#

I have an 80 leatherworker

#

but I can only do certain pieces of gear

forest sage
#

only stuff that's LTW

#

you can check what skill is needed to repair

tropic notch
#

OH

#

ok

forest sage
#

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

tropic notch
#

gotcha

frozen girder
#

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?

frozen girder
#

Go to their world

raven cliff
#

do people usually charge for overmelding services?

faint flare
#

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)_/¯

raven cliff
#

alright cool

Does Second coil 4 (nael) normal have enrage

Why am I not gaining rank in fishing during isgard restoration?

It's still at 0

gloomy ice

Ranking season ended a couple days ago. Rank points no longer apply.

Where do you get Duskborne Aethersand in 5.4 now? The gamer.com site is outdated

jagged crow

Bruh

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah, that one is outdated

#

It says those nodes appear at certain locations and times and the times and locations are outdated

whole wasp
#

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

small marsh
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

What is the best way to level from 45 to 50? Without MSQ?

small marsh
leaden ginkgo
#

POTD?

small marsh
#

palace of the dead, a special dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah yes that

#

I have done that a bit but it was a bit....boring?

whole wasp
#

if you can stand the boredom, do POTD

#

if not, just do your highest dungeon

whole wasp
#

depending on your PF luck, might be a noteworthy point

small marsh
#

but you dont really earn anything towards a particular goal like a title or achievement?

whole wasp
#

there is a title to level all trusts to 80 iirc but its not something you have access to while leveling

small marsh
#

ah

whole wasp
#

i pick trusts the first time i do a dungeon so i can take my time, look around and figure out mechanics "blind"

small marsh
#

with trusts do you still wanna aim to have at least 1 of each role

#

like you /need/ a tank?

glass oxide
#

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

small marsh
#

ah

#

so the exarch can fill any role

glass oxide
#

Yes he is an all-rounder

#

Whichever role you want him to be

whole wasp
#

he switches job based on whats missing basically

tranquil glen
#

is there a guide for setting up dps meters in this server?

clear iris
#

Hey guys, my friends and I are thinking about transferring to Aether, any tips on whether to go to Gilgamesh or Faerie?

robust crow
#

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

clear iris
#

What's the raiding server now?

forest sage
tranquil glen
#

ty frendo

whole wasp
#

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.

forest sage
#

I mean the server isn't too relevant, datacenter is somewhat

whole wasp
#

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.

karmic niche
#

LOL

#

it just 2b and 9s i believe

tranquil glen
#

do i close act after im done setting everything up or do i have to leave it running?

karmic niche
#

maybe the next raid will give a2

rigid narwhal
#

& want to see dps etc

tranquil glen
#

it says the section under disappears but it isnt

rigid narwhal
#

go attack somethin

tranquil glen
rigid narwhal
#

run act as admin

tranquil glen
#

i think i will need to restart game 1 sec

worthy jewel
#

act doesn't need admin if it's using winpcap as i understand it

real skiff
#

can someone help me with story hades? being in que now for 50 min (light)

worthy jewel
#

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

tranquil glen
#

yeah i didnt really want to have to run as admin

#

what is winpcap

worthy jewel
#

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?

potent shale
#

Question if you beat the Mizukume FATE, Foxy Lady FATE will spawn right?

tranquil glen
#

one sec rip

#

@worthy jewel parse mode is network

worthy jewel
#

is winpcap network an option there?

tranquil glen
#

tyes winpcap network

worthy jewel
#

okay try that

#

and test

tranquil glen
#

maybe its my antivirus let me check

worthy jewel
#

did you install winpcap? if not you should do that

glass oxide
tranquil glen
glass oxide
#

It is a little bit early in a weekday for EU queues

worthy jewel
#

sorry please see my edited message

tranquil glen
#

oh okay

#

its crazy that so much is involved in installing a dps meter

worthy jewel
#

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

tranquil glen
#

are they that against it?

worthy jewel
#

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

tranquil glen
#

oh yes i have read up on that

worthy jewel
#

sweet

true furnace
#

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.

tranquil glen
#

i just want to see how good im doing thats all

gray plume
tranquil glen
#

i actually play wow lol

worthy jewel
#

so anyway just slap npcap in there in winpcap compatibility mode, and maybe restart everything

#

should work

hot eagle
#

mogstation/merch item/gifts should be region free

tranquil glen
#

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

true furnace
#

Oh, that's awesome, thank you. Because I have the Japanese edition of the merch

worthy jewel
#

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

forest sage
#

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

glass oxide
worthy jewel
#

@forest sage how do you know who isn't up to par without a dps meter?

tranquil glen
#

yeah makes me kind of wonder if kicking somebody out of a group for not performing would be bannable

forest sage
#

I didn't say without

worthy jewel
#

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

hot eagle
#

so long you don't say anything and kick it should be ok, as leader you can kick without reason

forest sage
#

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

tranquil glen
#

if xiv had something like curseforge that would be awesome

forest sage
#

and I guess no one wants to spend so much time to make their own fully functional parser tool for XIV

worthy jewel
#

what issues are there?

forest sage
#

curseforge and wow addons in general work very differently

tranquil glen
#

i use a bunch of addons on wow

forest sage
#

wow addons have direct access to the wow API, it's a lot easier to make addons that way

tranquil glen
#

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

worthy jewel
#

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

tranquil glen
#

yeah thats what i use in wow

worthy jewel
#

no I mean in ffxiv

tranquil glen
#

oh okei

forest sage
#

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

worthy jewel
#

btw did you get act working baepor?

tranquil glen
#

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

worthy jewel
#

lol I get kinda invested in these things

forest sage
#

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

worthy jewel
#

it sure is possible, but ugh it's a pain

#

i'm lazy, addons which make my life easier are super welcome

tranquil glen
#

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?

worthy jewel
tranquil glen
#

the msq stuff is a bit of a drag but that isn't the game being bad, just my own impatience

robust crow
#

all 8 players need to be eligible for rewards in order to get full rewards

tranquil glen
#

i might get more addons in the future, for now i just wanna get meter working lol

worthy jewel
#

sure

tranquil glen
#

okay finished installing npcap

robust crow
#

also, are there any other heavensward beast tribes that reward combat exp that isn't the bug tribe

tranquil glen
#

do i just run it on winpcap network again?

worthy jewel
#

yeah

tranquil glen
#

maybe i messed something up when installing the overlays

the one other thing which can go wrong is the websocket url in the overlay, but first get into combat and generate some data

#

Can someone tell me how Foxy Lady works?

#

I defeat Mizukume a few hours ago

#

will Foxy Lady spawn?

little swift
#

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

whole wasp
#

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

vestal zealot
#

how do ppl on controller do filter targetting

potent shale
#

We havent gotten Foxy Lady yet

#

but this is Mizukume

and oh my god there's tons of dialouge

That's what's weird

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh thats...a really convenient bot

#

thank you

warped nest
#

Jobs are pretty well balanced in XIV

leaden ginkgo
#

i wanna use a katana, my inner weeb is calling me

warped nest
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

huh, thats really nice

#

Should I expect to dump money on this game? hows the monitizezation?

robust crow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

obsidian patio
#

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 E_MonkaHmmm

little swift
#

Nope

#

the only glowy shiva weapons are obtained from trading in diamond dust and the weapons obtained from the shiva extreme trial

stone eagle
#

So next tuesday will be ishgard housing?

little swift
#

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

simple shore
#

If we get Ishgard housing this year i'll be surprised.

obsidian patio
#

The earliest I’m expecting Ishgard housing to come out is early 6.x, like 6.1 or 6.1x

simple shore
#

If its anything like Kugane, we might get it as a christmas present at the earliest.

obsidian patio

I think Kugane came in like 4.1 or so?

Yeah. Figure 6.0 is likely september.

I think 515 or 520 at most

green grail
#

probably, though it could depend on how many bozja updates they want to release with 5.5 and later

obsidian patio
#

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

sullen lark
#

Hold on.. Do you get spiritbond by hitting the simulation dummies..?

obsidian patio
#

Only to bind the gear to you

#

But yes

sullen lark
#

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 😛

forest sage
#

na starting combat binds gear to you, but you only get spiritbind progress on kills, not for fighting

simple shore
#

There are far better uses of your time. Combat materia is not particularly valuable.

obsidian patio
#

Honestly gear bonds pretty fast in current endgame stuff

simple shore
#

kind of hate the new system though

sullen lark
#

What new system?

obsidian patio
#

Yeah it’s a lot more annoying to get the lower grade stuff

sullen lark
#

I've only been playing for 5 months

obsidian patio
#

Basically the current system only bonds gear when completing instances/dungeons

simple shore
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

The old one bonded per enemy killed, which let you spirit bond farm on the over world

sullen lark
#

Oh, I see

forest sage
#

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?

hidden lotus
#

Are questions regarding ACT allowed here, and if not, where would I go?

forest sage
#

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)

hidden lotus
#

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..

forest sage
#

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

simple shore
#

The "smartest" you can make macros is stuff like <t>, <tt>, <mo> (target, target of target, mouseover respectively)

#

etc.

whole wasp
#

if you're gonna mouseover, literally just click them

#

cant really think of a way to conditional target

simple shore
#

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

whole wasp
#

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>

steep pelican
#

ok

hidden lotus
#

I'm not sure what I need to do here.

green grail
#

add antivirus and/or windows firewall exception, run act as administrator

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

#

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

green grail

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

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

obsidian patio
#

I think you just sell them to a vendor for Gil

kind gale
#

but they're only worth 1 gil

slate arrow
#

You need a level 30 cul to desynth fish for mats

#

Either keep them or junk them until then

forest sage
#

you do desynth them yeah

#

they give random materials out of a pool for each fish

placid girder
#

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

green grail
#

yes, mogstation sets can be worn by any class/job, crafters and gatherers included

kind gale
#

mogstation sets are level 1 all class clothes

#

some are gender locked

placid girder
#

is there decent glamour stuff that also works with every job, that can be found ingame?

green grail
#

yeah tons

placid girder
#

or are you usually stuck looking at class stuff and working with that

kind gale
#

honestly, a shit ton.

placid girder
#

oh nice

slate arrow
#

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

kind gale
#

you can either buy it from market (in game) , or become a crafter and make glamour yourself

green grail
#

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

placid girder
#

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

slate arrow
#

not as much now

#

Cross class crafting skills have been removed

placid girder
#

oh, well okay

slate arrow
#

The main benefits now is so that you don't have to have ~10 different sets of gear

green grail
#

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

kind gale
#

it's been simplified

placid girder
#

so still worth it to level them all for making materials for eachother but no crazy synergy stuff anymore?

kind gale
#

yes

#

and for not having a bunch of useless armor sets

#

from different levels

placid girder
#

oh i see what you mean

kind gale
#

and having this happen

#

to your poor armory chest

placid girder
#

oof

slate arrow
#

Oh No

#

I can't remember the last time I used more than 30 slots a page since I maxed everything out

shrewd owl
#

That isnt considered normal?
looks at own armoury chest

slate arrow
#

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

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

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.

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.

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"

oh nope they lifted it to 999,999,999

simple shore
leaden ginkgo
#

oof

#

Has square said anything about an update to fix this

simple shore
#

This has been an ongoing problem for over a year, lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Do plots ever get auctioned?

simple shore
#

That's not how the game works

leaden ginkgo
#

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

manic flare
#

is there any downside to training at a dummy that's significantly lower level than you?

green grail
#

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

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

no rent

manic flare
#

@leaden ginkgo you can buy an apartment

#

if you want to explore housing

twilit arch
#

you have 45 to enter the house or it is auto demolished

leaden ginkgo
#

after I do all the expansions

#

and am rich in gil

manic flare
#

there is always apartment space available, and apartments aren't expensive

leaden ginkgo
#

I have a dream to one day have 10,000,000 gil

manic flare
#

it's trivial compared to a housing

manic flare
#

10m gil isn't alot

leaden ginkgo
#

ok 100,000,000 gil

manic flare
#

i believe it's 300,000

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to make /read show SMN weapon?

manic flare
#

but im not 100% sure

pearl perch
#

300K for FC apartment, 500K for private apartment

green grail
#

apartments are 500k

leaden ginkgo
#

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

wispy parcel
#

The game is 90% story quests

eager widget
#

ye because the main story unlocks a LOT of the game’s content

wispy parcel
#

So yea thats accurate

timid geyser
#

Then housing shouldn't be your concern tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

I know not yet

timid geyser
#

if you're only level 38 focus on story

leaden ginkgo
#

What should I be doing about earning gil

#

will that get easier later

wispy parcel
#

Yea

timid geyser
#

yes

#

And you get a bunch thru story

#

so just focus on story

leaden ginkgo
#

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

wispy parcel
#

The best way to get gil consistantly is to level crafters but you cant do that until the end of Heavemsward

manic flare
#

are you on the free trial or sub?

#

you can't get a retainer on the free trial iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

No I bought the game

#

and have a subscription

twilit arch
#

no reason to not get your 2 free retainers

open ember
#

Go to any major city state and talk to a retainer vocate to get your retainers

#

They're usually next to the marketboards

leaden ginkgo
#

I thought you had to pay for them lol

#

do they fight with you or are they just for item storage

twilit arch
#

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"

leaden ginkgo
#

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

little swift
#

They aren't optional

#

They give important skills

manic flare
#

U need to do class quests. If you are higher than level 30, you should upgrade your class

little swift
#

Usually

upbeat veldt
#

Do we know if the Ishgardian Restoration Mounts are going to be exclusive/unobtainable after the event ends?

open ember
#

All mounts except the Pegasus will remain market tradable

open ember
#

Regardless if the ranking ends or not

eager widget
#

from what the devs have mentioned, the venue will continue as it is a resource for DoH/L levelling

#

but ye what estelle said

rigid pecan
#

Class quests for fighting classes should be every five levels in ARR regardless. At the very least, get your job stone. Like....now

pseudo quartz
#

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

manic flare
#

@rigid pecan catgirl might not be able to. Many people are overleveled in ARR. The job stone is locked behind msq

pseudo quartz
#

Very easy. I'm in free trial right now, hit 60, and havent reached the start of Heavensward yet

rigid pecan
fresh lodge
#

If your MSQ level is past 20, then you can go unlock your job

manic flare
#

I think it's one of the sylph quests

#

After u do those, u can upgrade

fresh lodge
#

Yes, Sylph Management

manic flare
#

I believe that also unlocks the chocobo?

twilit arch
#

no

proud willow
#

the chocobo mount unlocks shortly before Sylph Management, when you join a GC

twilit arch
#

that's tied to joining a grand company

proud willow
#

the combat choco can be unlocked as soon as you're 30 and have the mount, regardless of MSQ

deep patrol
#

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.

twilit arch
#

its lvl 20 in the main scenario quest

#

not your character's level

deep patrol
#

Ah I see, thank you.

rigid pecan
#

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.

fresh lodge
#

No

rigid pecan
#

tyvm Thought so, but wasn't positive

deep patrol
#

Should I worry about working on a crafting class at an early level or wait till I've advanced more?

strange coral
#

It can wait if you want. It's completely optional.

manic flare
#

You don't actually have to craft at all in this game

open coral
#

Up to you. Crafting/gathering isn't a required piece of content.

manic flare
#

Don't give in to peer pressure

open coral
#

If you're on the free trial, I'd suggest waiting, though.

manic flare
#

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+

left cedar
#

Do you need to be rank 15 in bozja to join the BA equivalent launching with 5.45?

open coral
#

Maybe.

#

Nobody knows for sure though.

hot eagle
#

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

green grail
#

but we're not getting a new area afaik

#

just an instanced "raid" added to the current bozja

halcyon radish
#

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

twilit arch
#

yes, bottom right half will be available later on in the story

halcyon radish
#

I can't get to the right half on top either tho

#

well, guess i'll go get what I can in the peaks

twilit arch
#

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

timid geyser
#

You need to progress through story to get all the currents anyway

halcyon radish
#

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

twilit arch
#

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

halcyon radish
#

yea, can't get to the bottom half of the peaks either

#

you're right

gloomy mortar
#

You can get to the other side if someone has a multi seat mount and gives you a ride

gusty hare
#

as someone who just beat 4.0, should I watch the Announcement Showcase or would I be risking spoilers?

wispy parcel
#

Probably not a good idea

little swift
#

Probably spoilers for 6.0

#

If anything ask again after it and we can tell you if there are parts you can watch

gusty hare
#

aight, thanks!

stone stone
#

What do the letters next to enemy names mean?

little swift
#

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?

#

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?

gentle relic
#

Probably too big. I play on a 32 inch and i even find it too big

leaden ginkgo
#

I find 44 so far to be a sweet spot for me

#

but been considering a larger display

#

My graphics card supports it

gentle relic
#

I bought a 24 inch Acer monitor

leaden ginkgo
#

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

south roost
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

@south roost Hope someone here answers your question

strange coral
south roost
#

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

faint flare
#

Well you can make stuff with weaver easily now with trained eye

wheat plume
#

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?

south roost
#

Assuming I wasn't going to sync, what class should I prioritize (and why)?

leaden ginkgo
#

Which alexandra savage is best for light farm?

little swift
#

a9s

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm which one is that soul of creator?

little swift
#

"eyes of the creator"

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh

#

so my friend and i started characters in different areas. what lvl do we meet each other?

little swift
#

lv15 msq

#

lv15 based on those quests

leaden ginkgo
little swift
#

not your character level

leaden ginkgo
#

ahh

#

that is the story quest i believe?

faint flare
#

Yes

little swift
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

gotcha

faint flare
#

Your character level doesn't mean much here

#

Its all your story level

leaden ginkgo
#

i see

#

thank you!

wispy mason
#

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

dense hound
#

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).

hollow zealot
#

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

wispy mason
#

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?

hollow zealot
#

oooh thanks love

faint flare
dense hound
#

Plenty plenty

hollow zealot
#

thats a disgusting amount of quests

#

lmao

dense hound
#

Hell, I started in august of last year, and I’m at current content

hollow zealot
#

XD

dense hound
#

With a significant amount of “I’m gonna do something other than the MSQ today” sprinkled in

hollow zealot
#

XD

little swift
#

its not like there is that much current endgame content. but like all mmos its a do your thing kinda deal

hollow zealot
#

thats a crazy amount not gonna lie

little swift
#

current content is only 4 savage fights and an extreme

gloomy mortar
#

How many hours ?@dense hound

little swift
#

with an upcoming ultimate

dense hound
#

Uh

#

A lot
