Honestly I don’t really recommend mutamix’s transmutation unless it’s a bunch of grade 7/8 materia
Grades below that you’ll rarely see profit from transmutation

Yes less power

TBH I won’t fault you for just removing blizzard 2 from your hotbar entirely. It has very low damage, it doesn’t stay good for long before essentially being replaced by Freeze, and it requires you to be in Melee range

Why does "Craftsman's Command Materia VII" provide only +9 when the one below it, "Craftsman's Command Materia VI" provides +10?? Does the Base Item level have something to do with it?
obsidian patio
No?
obsidian patio
Why does "Craftsman's Command Materia VII" provide only *+9* when the one below ...
Grade 6 and 8 materia can only go into visible melding slots and the first overmeld.
faint flare
Why does "Craftsman's Command Materia VII" provide only *+9* when the one below ...
Gear cab only have so much of 1 stat
obsidian patio
So for melds past that you need to use grade 5/7
(Also 1-4 but not much reason to use those due to their low stat amount)
faint flare
Oh the 7 vs 6 difference
forest sphinx
So I want... both?
forest sphinx
Tier 6's are better than tier 7's then?
slate arrow
no

I have little else to trade the Scrips for, given that most of the other items seem to be pretty cheap on the market
agile laurel
Yes but to make it with more styles, not always the same (though is the best)
this isn't a game where there are different 'ways' to play your job - there's a right way and a wrong way
that's why the levelling rotation guide is there
faint flare
In terms of amount of stat...but 6s cant go past the first overmeld slots
slate arrow
You want T8s over T6s, and T7s over T5s
little swift
If an enemy gets to approach, sprint and keep casting it seems
you can't sprint and cast, you break the channels
slate arrow
Overmeld rules means that T8s and T6s can only go into the first non green slot at most
which is where T7s and T5s come in

worthy rain
you can't sprint and cast, you break the channels
Of course, I meant stop after sprint

noobie here
just wanna make sure. what does the choice of my very first town matter for really?
slate arrow
nope
faint flare
None
slate arrow
unless you want to unlock Rogue early
little swift
it just affects what city you start as your home
slate arrow
but it's only mentioned in passing at a level 22 quest
little swift
and what side jobs are available to your mildly earlier
slate arrow
because the quests merge at level 15

Later parts of the story may make small nods to it
Same with your chosen grand company

acoustic phoenix
Hello ! I have a little problem
little swift
Go on
acoustic phoenix
I bought a mount from the Mog Station and I did not receive the item in game. I don't really understand. But I noticed something in my payment history. I already bought an item on the Mog Station and it says the item is fort my character on Twintania but for the Mount it says that the receiver is "FINAL FANTASY XIV" and not my character like on the other item. I did something wrong ? ><
faint flare
It takes time to be mailed
forest sage
some mounts are account wide so it wouldn't say a specific char
but yeah it's probably just delayed
acoustic phoenix
Oooh okok
forest sage
some stuff takes time, and they've been spamming ishgard rewards by mail
acoustic phoenix
I was scared because of the delay + the fact there wasn't my char's name
forest sage
so probably just a matter of waiting, make sure your mail isn't full, and check every now and then
faint flare
Just be patient and give it time
acoustic phoenix
Yep there is nothing in my mail !
acoustic phoenix
Just be patient and give it time
Okay nice thank you very much

Doman reconstruction
As of patch 4.4, you can donate a total of 250,000 to the effort
Is there any other use for allagan money pieces other than this? Also sounds like once I donate that amount I can no longer donate weekly?
raven sage
It's the best use of them
And you can still donate after you finish the reconstruction
You just stop progressing anything

Do dungeons scale? Like if a high level wanted play with a low level ?
whole wasp
if you do it synced, the high level will be scaled to a maximum level and item level for gear for the dungeon and do it together with the low level
if you do it unsynced, the high level can solo clear the dungeon and carry the low level

That's literally the quest that will give you access.
true kestrel
Lominsan envoy ?
open coral
Yes
open coral
Your objective will be "speak to the attendant at the airship landing". Once you complete the quest, you'll also have access to the airship routes to the three major cities. I think the sea routes will also open at that time.
dire prawn
Is this just a minion of a airship? lol
Where are you that it's almost 3 am
open coral
That's 3am server time. Doesn't mean their local time is also 3am.
But that would be... GMT
So England, basically.
open coral
You are. ST is just weird.
true kestrel
omg the time is broken
open coral
I always set my clocks to show my Local Time rather than Server Time because ST doesn't make sense.
dire prawn
Mine shows Local Time by default
warped nest
true kestrel
Im going to access airship now 
open coral
Yes. Congratulations.
true kestrel
uh yes? deadzombie
dire prawn
You're required to for that MSQ
open coral
For your first trips you'll go to the cities in a specified order.
true kestrel
whats your ign?
dire prawn
You have to visit both Limsa Lominsa and Gridania
open coral
But after that you're free to travel between them as you wish.
dire prawn
My char's name is Tsuya Sakiri
open coral
Make sure to attune to the aetherytes when you get to Ul'dah and Gridania.

I can go to gridonia dead :3
true kestrel
I'm starting to hate walking for thousands of mile back and forth
full trail
Thats why u teleport
dire prawn
Midnight did you start in Gridania
full trail
Nope but ove unlocked airships
true kestrel
big crystals or the small blue crystal to teleport?
open coral
Big ones are the main aetherytes.
Those are the ones for teleporting between cities.
Always attune those.
The small ones are the city aethernets, internal transport only.
dire prawn
I have all three main city Aetheryte as favored destinations with Limsa as my home due to Maelstrom being my GC
true kestrel
Oh man, I've been walking forever just to get to places
full trail
You set the crystals u think you'll use most often to favorute for cheap price
full trail
Like right now I can literally just teleport to gridonia I dont even need a ship
open coral
Every time you reach a new town, always make sure to attune the aetheryte (if there is one) and speak to the Chocobo Porter to unlock the chocobo taxi route.
true kestrel
I'm veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery poor. @dire prawn
dire prawn
Don't teleport then 
true kestrel

She can't yet anyways.

You'll get plenty of gil to teleport with eventually.
More than you know what to do with.

How to travel with a broke budget #ffxiv
dire prawn
I didn't start teleporting everywhere until I started the Scions quest line
true kestrel
open coral
For the most part you don't need to teleport between towns early in the game.
Especially if you remember to unlock the Chocobo Porter taxi routes.
Those are significantly cheaper, albeit relatively local-based.
dire prawn
I haven't spoke to any Chocobo Porters ;-;
open coral
Can't take a chocobo from Gridania to Ul'dah.
I mean, once you reach the point where you're earning lots of gil from quests and dungeon stuff it's not a big deal.
open coral
Chocobo taxis are mostly an early convenience. A cheaper alternative.
dire prawn
I'm at 50k gil right now with most of the Aetherytes unlocked
open coral
Yeah. The game really throws gil at you.
true kestrel
doing side quests got me to 9k gil
full trail
Honestly it slipped my mind to talk to most porters as well kek
open coral
Oh you poor thing. Doing side quests for gil?
dire prawn
oof
true kestrel
lmao yes, cause idk what to do
dire prawn
Just wait until the MSQ throws you into the dungeons
open coral
Don't do side quests for gil. Always just stick to the MSQ
dire prawn
Keep side quests for leveling up other jobs
open coral
Once you get back to Limsa, there should be a 
called something like "Up For A Challenge" available in the Drowning Wench (adventurer's guild).
faint flare
The only thing you use gil on early levels is teleports
open coral
Grab that to unlock the challenge log, which will toss free gil at you for things like completing dungeons.
And commending players.
dire prawn
Holly you're in Gridania now right
open coral
Gridania's pretty straightforward.
true kestrel
yes, I left the airship part
dire prawn

what's the best class to do the duty in the "will of the moon" with?
i believe this was the duty that caused my friend to quit the game

If you're failing then you're either undergeared or failing a mechanic
I think thats the duty with Ysthyola and Hien
faint flare
Because RP instance
slate arrow
You're playing Y'shtola while your character is off dueling someone else about halfway through the fight
manic flare
wait, u aren't yourself this duty?
slate arrow
also, if you fail, you have to restart from the beginning of the whole instance
manic flare
oh is it the y'shtola part that gives people trouble
faint flare
If you're failing RP instances you're missing mechanics
slate arrow
Well, at least that was how it is
dunno if they put in checkpoints for story instances yet

leaden ginkgo
Gotcha thanks
I meant moreso not that is queues but that every press will know wihch one to execute in the combo.
slate arrow
we don't do combat macros here
faint flare
On purpose
leaden ginkgo
Not asking for the button to hit all 3 at once, but for it to rotate to the correct one in a combo chain
Ok my bad
slate arrow
because the in game macro rules are purposefully dumb
faint flare
They're purposely designed to not be able to one button rotations
slate arrow
no conditionals and you can only <wait> whole seconds
quite literally they're only there to execute commands in order
faint flare
You can comfortably fit every single skill on controller
With duplicates
With extra space to spare
You have access to 48 slots easily
Far more than whats needed
manic flare
what is recommended to use macros for?
slate arrow
anything but combat
slate arrow
sure if you want
whole wasp
targeting and crafting
manic flare
what do you mean by targeting
slate arrow
placed abilities
whole wasp
warrior nascent etc
slate arrow
stuff that requires a lot of precision to place
kinda ass on controller sometimes but people make it work
it's mainly GCDs which are a big no-no
faint flare

whole wasp
yup

whole wasp

faint flare

macro on target. macro on myself, manual target
then i push those buttons depending on which i need

Ground aoes in general its fine

is there macro to let you always just target the closest enemy, and never cycle through them?

Wind Slash: 5-6 subsequent circle AoEs on 5-6 random players.
Blizzard Breath: Long, cone AoE pointed at a random player. Targets hit will be inflicted with Deep Freeze for 10 seconds.
Flames of the Apocalypse: Donut AoE. Targets hit will be inflicted with Burns for 12 seconds.
Mind Blast: Melee AoE. Targets hit will be inflicted with Paralysis for 10 seconds.
Megaflare: Stack AoEs on 2-3 random players.
Civilization Buster: Line AoE from Archaeotania's position when flying around the stage.
Touchdown: Proximity AoE. Follows with Blizzard Breath.
Tidal Wave: Long knockback from the geyser on one side of the stage. Knockback can be nullified with skills like Arm's Length and Surecast.
Ice Boulder: 3 icicles drop down in random spots on the stage. Later they dash at 3 random players.
Twister: 3 small, slow-moving tornadoes spawn in random spots on the stage. Getting hit by one knocks you back a short distance and applies Windburn for 14 seconds.
When Archaeotania drops below 60% HP it will teleport away and summon 3 Ancient Aevis adds. Keep an eye out for Civilization Busters while killing them.
Gigaflare: Enrage. When Archaeotania drops below 15% HP it spawns 3 Aether adds and tethers itself to them, making itself invulnerable until all 3 Aether adds are killed. Players have 120 seconds to kill these adds and Archaeotania.

that's... curious, considering you should be able to go there since you already went there
subtle halo
I haven't been teleported there, which is kind of a headache
Since it seems like I'm stuck with no way to resume the MSQ

the exit should be by the skysteel manufactory is it not

It's gated, so I can't use it

I've been trying to buy some things on mog station but I keep getting a i2501 error.
I sent an email about 12 hours ago but no help yet, I don't know how quickly they check those.
subtle halo
The option to hire a chocobo isn't even there, it just lets me pick between renaming and the other thing
I can't walk through, it's gated
manic flare
https://goatcorp.github.io/DalamudPlugins/plugins.html is the use of this dangerous?
as in more likely to get you banned than using ACT or graphics mods?
proper junco
whats faster, bozja grind or dungeon grind for leveling
forest sage
@subtle halo try relogging, the gate should open when you get close but it's possible it's buggy?
fresh marten
Is paladin's hollow ground still bugged?
forest sage
or well try to get close in case you didn't
subtle halo
I'll try relogging, thanks for the answers regardless
forest sage
I don't think it was ever bugged? if you mean is it truly instant, no, it still takes .7secs to apply or whatever
might be less but yeah if you press it too late you'll die
little swift
whats faster, bozja grind or dungeon grind for leveling
depends on your queues/if there are parties available
fresh marten
AHH so all those videos are just making fun of it
proper junco
instant queues with friend, dungeon faster? if not bozja is faster?
forest sage
dungeons should be faster if you clear them at a decent pace, bozja gives stuff you can make money with though
little swift
dungeons overall is more exp for time
little swift
mhmm go for it
dire prawn
How knowledgeable are you in what stats are useful on WHM
little swift
enough
for you because you're still leveling just take whatever highest ilvl items you can get
that provide you with the main stat MIND
dire prawn
My MSQ quest gives me a choice between three different materia which gives crit hit direct hit and det
Which should I take for later use
little swift
don't worry too much about min-maxing your substats because the difference between them is pretty irrelevant
simple shore
Caring about materia pre-80 is irrelevant
dire prawn
oh
little swift
the materia you're getting is pretty weak at endgame
dire prawn
So take any cause they're not useful rn
little swift
just take whatever sells well
simple shore
They'll never be useful. There's better materia later.
dire prawn
They all sell for 60
leaden ginkgo
I've been trying to buy some things on mog station but I keep getting a i2501 error.
I sent an email about 12 hours ago but no help yet, I don't know how quickly they check those.
forest sage
might as well put the materia in your gear but yeah doesn't matter
little swift
2501 is such a general error
its hard to give a proper solution
things like, " have you tried other browsers"
leaden ginkgo
Okay, thats a start at least
little swift
"have you tried a vpn, or turning off a vpn"
forest sage
generally speaking, crit > all other stats for most classes, once you're past the first patch in a given expansion, so can't go wrong with crit @dire prawn but yeah for lvling it's kinda whatever, although it's "free" stats if you buy some materias to put in gear as you can remove them and put them into upgrades and so on
little swift
substats work in tiers where you need x amount to increase your output by y amount
leaden ginkgo
things like, " have you tried other browsers"
Still has the same error in Chrome as well as Firefox. Lets see if it also does on my PS4's browser itself
little swift
so the amount those materia give will be miniscule when your stats are still double digits at best
stone eagle
Should I change her skill?
dire prawn
What is MGP
dire prawn
oh
stone eagle
Which one is easier to farm?
faint flare
Both are easy to farm
Seals more so since you can trade dungeon drops in
For 800+ depending on the level, lv80 gear is like 1.7k seals
Per piece
faint flare
Tbh I'd take mgp cause I'm just lazy...though depending on your roster its condition is annoying to activate
The seals have a easier trigger
faint flare
Seals are infinitely more easily farmed since you just run dungeons so often so
So its whatever
leaden ginkgo
things like, " have you tried other browsers"
I also tried my PS4's browser straight from the portal in the launcher to the same result.
little swift
Do you have a VPN running?
leaden ginkgo
No, I've been too poor to for a subscription lately and too wary to use a free one
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
I doubt it is those because its the same result from both my computer and ps4
I'll try it on my phone while not on wifi

Turn off proxy server?

Also doesn't work on my phone even when off of the wifi

Honestly I'm as stumped as you are on the error

It just keeps saying:

I have a question with NG+
I want to do the Alliance Raid of FF Tactics for NG+ but for some reason it aint showing it

I have to beat Umbra Savage before Litany Savage EVERY week?

I regret skipping it because I was rushing for Bozja weapons and I regret it

even tho i've beaten Umbra Savage already before... but I have to do it in order every week in order to get all teh rewards?
faint flare
Yes
slate arrow
yes, that's correct
hot eagle
I have a question with NG+
iirc you also need to do the sidequest that open up in the prima vista, for ng+ you need to do all quests even sideones
leaden ginkgo
that is ridiculous
slate arrow
no, it's to keep people from raiding with the same small groups
and so that new people have a chance of getting into the raid tier while it's current

pliant quest
can anyone recommend me a server on NA?
i'm playing on JP atm. want to try NA..
i like endgame content, so a server (FC) / DC that do alot of savages in their PF is preferable.
leaden ginkgo
It worked if I paid through Amazon oddly enough
leaden ginkgo
can anyone recommend me a server on NA?
i'm playing on JP atm. want to try NA..
...
Faerie, really friendly really pro-lgbt+
faint flare
Anything on aether/primal
Server choice itself doesn't matter, data centre does more so
little swift
Jp does endgame content quite frequently
simple shore
JP better at endgame than NA
little swift
If the luckybanchou stats are anything to even consider
They have better clear rates and participation
Its fine to stick with japan
But if you want to try na
Any of the three data centers are fine
leaden ginkgo
Or you could just do a server with an exp boost if you still have things to level
simple shore
Transferring to a preferred server doesnt give that bonus
pliant quest
Jp does endgame content quite frequently
i know but.. im kinda hate this "JP only" BS
there's alot of PF but like 80% of em is JP only
little swift
You don't really need to speak jp to join them
simple shore
Welp, then come to Aether or Primal. then you can just be mad at the PF for being trap
little swift
You just have to have fast Google translate skills or be cooperativd
faint flare
Evade the JP captcha
pliant quest
and yeah.. i just want to feel what NA like.. im thinking of primal
any server with alot of active raiding FC there ?
faint flare
With world visiting and all, everything is spread out
simple shore
idk what its like over in JP, but on NA we dont really raid with our FC's
pliant quest
ah ic... kinda used to WoW actually, where we go to guild for raid
simple shore
Most raid statics are cross-server
slate arrow
since you only need 8 people to raid you don't need a big big group of people
faint flare
The only thing fcs would give you is the social aspect and buffs
pliant quest
another question then... which server is the busiest on primal ?
faint flare
Mainly xp and food
simple shore
"Busiest" is a bit general. What are you specifically trying to figure out?
faint flare
There's no dead servers
pliant quest
^ dead servers i mean
faint flare
Dead servers dont exist
simple shore
Ah, yeah, there are definitely no dead servers
faint flare
Anywhere really
pliant quest
ic
faint flare
It would be slapped with preferred tag
And people flock
I feep like complimentary
!faq worldpick
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
literally everything is done datacenter wide except for FC's (which are only really social) and housing, basically.
faint flare
Again. Due to world visiting and people chasing preferred server status. Everyone is nicely spread
And server meaning is basically gone
simple shore
Hunts are on specific servers, but there's usually a datacenter wide discord that world visits to do them. Map parties in PF are often done DC wide. etc.
pliant quest
what is RP really
faint flare
Roleplay
pliant quest
and what do i need to prepare before joining "RP" server
simple shore
At the risk of running afoul of certain people - you dont want to play there.
pliant quest
oh lol
faint flare
Just that's where a large amount congregate
timid geyser
Yeah lol, I'm on balmung and I don't rp that much
fresh marten
do ast have those additional card effects still? i saw videos of these different cards having different effects, but i only have 2 types of dmg buff for ranged and melee
timid geyser
Been rping on early December when I was on early stormblood, didn't write anything since
faint flare
Unique effects were stormblood and heavensward
timid geyser
Saying that "server is an rp server" is not the best way to see things
faint flare
For the argumently better
pliant quest
so i can just go to any server regardless its "RP server" and just be myself
faint flare
Yes
simple shore
I mean, you can. But if your primary goal is endgame raids like you said
timid geyser
Yes
pliant quest
is the endgame raiding on RP server dead ?
timid geyser
No
faint flare
People usually dont bother or pester others with RP unless you tag yourself
timid geyser
There are people running endgame content
simple shore
RP servers are on the Crystal DC. Crystal is....not as good at that stuff as Aether/Primal.
pliant quest
noted
dire prawn
I has question
simple shore
Its a statistical thing. Do they run stuff still? Yes. But not as often and not as successfully.
slate arrow
i may have an answer
faint flare
Raiding sence exists on crystal. Just smaller than others and primarily in statics
dire prawn
So I noticed that characters created on a Preferred or New World get 15 days free when their character hits 30 in any class
simple shore
Yes, thats correct
dire prawn
I'm assuming that does nothing for Free Trial players right
faint flare
I think its completely gone if you're on trial and pass that point
dire prawn
So even if I bought the game later on it wouldn't happen if I leveled another class to 30 right
pliant quest
slate arrow
no
pliant quest
can someone take a look
slate arrow
server populations shift so much that any articules become outdated usually whenevr preferred status shifts
slate arrow
looks like a site just preying on new players
pliant quest
oh lol
dire prawn
How often does the preferred status on worlds change
faint flare
On patches
simple shore
It only changes on major patches, generally
slate arrow
during most patch maintenences
faint flare
So it should change 5.45
dire prawn
And is Crystal being known as the RP datacenter why five of its worlds are set to preferred
slate arrow
so like this upcoming one for 5.45
dire prawn
Do we know when 5.45 is coming? 🤔
slate arrow
faint flare
Because crystal is a self fulfilled prophecy

deft skiff
Oh ok. Yea my gear is just like level 8 stuff right now from some of the quests
Also gear is only from completeling quests and buying from vendors right? They’re not monster drops right?
faint flare
Not mob drops
Gear mainly comes from quests, chests mainly in dungeons or brought for various currencies
Or crafted
As stated. Story and class quests keep you geared, along with the few dungeon pieced you'll naturally pick up
As levelling dungeons give you at least 1 piece of gear
Upon completion
deft skiff
Ok. Tysm. I was a little worried lol.
hot eagle
when you reach lvl15 you can do the hall of novice duties for some good gear and a ring that gives you more exp till lvl 30, for hall of the novice duties talk to a npc named smith
also in arr the stats of gear dont rly jump big till you reach lvl50
deft skiff
Ok most of the gear is just like +8 def or +1 strength and stuff. Is the smith npc in every city? I started at Limsa I think it’s called

10 seconds

obsidian patio
Weapon damage being the “Physical Damage” or “Magical Damage” on a weapon
simple shore
What the fuck did the second boss do to me
I assume you mean the third one. The bubble that got put around you needs to be broken. The DPS should have broken it off of you. If they didnt, they suck / are new
obsidian patio
...wow that picture is such bad quality
obsidian patio
You can also break yourself out of it

How do I break myself out of it when I run that dungeon and get bubbled again

Yeah the bubble is just an add that spawns on you to trap you
Or whatever target the boss deems

Is it something I should do or should I unlock it and then forget about it

Its basically a amusement/theme park/casnio

Heyy everyone,
So I’m honestly not one of the best players and I feel like i‘m doing sometimes not a good job (i‘m playing on playstation and switching thru the display for attacks is really stressing me sometimes aswell) also sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding the attacks correctly cuz of my English ahaha. 
... but i wanted to ask for advice.
I‘m playing white mage 70+ and while being in an 8 man dungeon someone said i was trolling for using medica II when everyone was low after an attack. Now i‘ve googled about it and ppl say only bad white mages do that cuz it costs too many mp. I don’t really struggle with mp though so i was wondering is it really that bad to use it? 👀 sorry if it‘s a stupid question, i just wanna understand and get better.
faint flare
Medica 2 is fine, however when it comes to healing in general you prioritise your off global healing and lilies first
Medica 2 is nice to heal people up after an aoe when there's no Damage for awhile
twin kayak
I do make sure my tanks are fine at first and then would maybe use medica 2 afterwards if necessary
faint flare
You can just drop asylum and call it a day...Remember you have your co healer as well who'll probably use at least 1 healing cooldown as well
One cooldown each will cover damage
twin kayak
Yeah but it was the co-healer who didnt want to revive me after i died ( was the first time doing this boss so i didnt know it that well) cuz of that 🙈 .. and at that point i thought it was okay to use it until she said i was trolling with it.
