#

its not

#

yes, but get your skill speed/gcd to tier

#

no you aren't

#

if you read the blurb after you finished your lv50 job quest

#

it would tell you

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

Well lemme tell you what they are once my friend finishes crafting my level 70 set 😛

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

Lol

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

What’s the name of the last BLM job quest you did?

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

that you are able to accept a new set of job quests once oyu reach the next expansion

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

Ok thanks

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

and those unlock the next abilities

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 6:35 AM

Just said 52

Hey, a buddy of mine has been searching everywhere (gathering log, ffxiv official sites, and even the wiki page) for Elm Branches, and can not for the life of them find it. It came up for a GC turn in, and it isn't too terribly important, but I am now convinced that there is some hidden story behind it.

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:36 AM

#

rigid wolf So thought unlocked

from the official lodestone guide

📎 unknown.png

#

it says job quest

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 6:37 AM

#

Great great

#

Ill keep going

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:39 AM

#

tropic bramble Hey, a buddy of mine has been searching everywhere (gathering log, ffxiv officia...

is he sure it says elm branch and not elm log?

tropic bramble Jan 30, 2021, 6:39 AM

#

yeah, it is definitely an elm branch. And it definitely at one point in time existed within the game

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 6:39 AM

#

Elm Branch specifically is a leftover item from 1.0

tropic bramble Jan 30, 2021, 6:39 AM

#

so it is currently unobtainable?

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

Yep.

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

yep

tropic bramble Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

alright ty much

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

just submit a report for a bug

tropic bramble Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

i'll get them to do that, thanks!

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 6:40 AM

#

i expect they didn't expect it to still turn up since people level past that range

#

relatively quick

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 6:45 AM

@little swift last time you checked?

#

Sorry confused. How do you check on others progress?

Whats the proper use for transpose?

#

Was told early not to worry about it and never really learned

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 7:00 AM

#

it for maintaining a stack of astral fire or umbral ice when u swap elements

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

rigid wolf Sorry confused. How do you check on others progress?

i remember based on conversations i have with people here because it helps me continue to help them

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

So you have a stack of 3 fire you use transpose and cast ice when u cast fire you keep the stacks?

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

no

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

you were supposed to use transpose while swapping between umbral ice to astral fire and vice versa

#

it makes it so you don't lose all your stacks when you swap

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 7:02 AM

#

u will have 1 but that’s better than 0

THM/BLM leveling rotations

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 7:03 AM

#

later u will have skills that maintain all 3 stacks

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:03 AM

#

do you see this rotation sheet? it explains to you how you were supposed to use it early on

#

basically when you're out of mana from spamming fire

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:03 AM

#

Ok so cast fire. Run out of mana. Cast transpose. Cast ice. Get mana trans again. Have one stack of fire?

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:03 AM

#

yes

#

but now you have fire 3 and blizzard 3

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

Right

whole wasp Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

those spells automatically switch you to fire and ice phase with 3 stacks without having to cast transpose

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

What the hell is T1

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

Thunder 1

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

Oh

#

So F1 is Fire I then

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

yes

whole wasp Jan 30, 2021, 7:04 AM

#

yup

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:05 AM

Damage over Time which is basically Thunder

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

Got ya

#

Right

little swift Jan 30, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

means while it is up you will slowly burn down the target with it

rigid wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

Yea

#

Where does trans come into that

#

At end

#

?

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

ideally, never

whole wasp Jan 30, 2021, 7:07 AM

#

eventually you get spells that help never need to cast transpose again

raw casting fire 3 will eat your MP

whole wasp Jan 30, 2021, 7:07 AM

@obsidian patio DS4 controller help ty

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:13 AM

It’s that detached crossbar above the main one

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:13 AM

#

I don't have any of that

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:13 AM

#

You enable it in Character config > Hotbar settings > Cross and Custom

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:14 AM

#

Why does that look like a mix of controller and kb/m

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:14 AM

#

That’s me placing normal PC hotbars near my crossbar to track cooldowns

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:14 AM

#

you can enable normal hotbars via UI settings, most controller players use them to track cooldowns

@little swift Okay, my skill speed is 1200 and I'm at level 70. Do I need to add any more onto it with materia or am I fine with crit and direct hit materia?

What is WXHB

only usable before they pay for the first sub

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

dire prawn I see that I can add expanded controls by holding both L2 and R2 in Custom

That's different

full latch Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

who has one cause i'm about to buy my first sub

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

And also an 'Enable WXHB with simultaneous L2 and R2 double tap

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

W = Double
So it’s basically “double crossbar”

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

#

Or if anyone else knows, that would be helpful :x

sudden wolf Jan 30, 2021, 7:16 AM

Oh wow the launcher has ui backup

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:17 AM

#

rugged flicker <@!159553445232115712> Okay, my skill speed is 1200 and I'm at level 70. Do I ne...

what are you going for here

#

because I'd say just don't worry about materia until you get to 80

#

:V

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:17 AM

#

Honestly, I'm just doing this so I can get Shadow Walk with Me, so as long as I can get to 80 without people nagging me about my stats, I really don't give a shit.

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:17 AM

#

who even nags about stats before 80

#

before 80 you should be going for main stats first and foremost

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

Well look I have like a shitload of tier six materia lying around so I'mma use it. <_<

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

could just junk em at the materia goblin for more profitable crafter and gathering materia

#

that is if you don't mind playing on the ~~pachinko machine~~ materia transmuter

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:19 AM

#

Or I could get mileage out of them then scrap them?

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:19 AM

#

as a person who leveled up every job to 80

#

it doesn't really matter

#

as long as you have scaevan gear or HQ crafted gear above i400 you'll be good until 80

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:20 AM

#

obsidian patio That’s me placing normal PC hotbars near my crossbar to track cooldowns

I have many questions about these settings because this shit makes zero sense to me

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:21 AM

#

Well whatever, since I can't seem to get a straight answer like I've gotten when asking this question in the past, guess I'll just meld Crit and Direct Hit materia. <.<

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:21 AM

#

You are getting a straight answer

#

And that answer is it doesn't matter until you hit 80

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:21 AM

#

The answer is, Main Stats > Substats

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

Well as far as I know, main stats are typically already maxed out and can't be augmented with materia, at least not the ones that matter for your particular job.

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:22 AM

#

exactly

#

so you don't need to meld

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

Well I have it so I'm gonna do it <_<

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rugged flicker Jan 30, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

Guess I'm gonna have to suffer having slightly higher crit GASP

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

Besides that extra melds will go to waste as you level since stat weights keep changing

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

Yilmaz

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

Always display WXHB
Self-explanatory
Return to XHB after WXHB input
This means when you use an action that’s on the WXHB you’ll immediately unselect the WXHB and back to your main crossbar for those actions
Position WXHB separately from XHB
This lets you place it in a different part of the screen rather than being attached to the main crossbar.
WXHB input timer
This basically decides the window of time you have to double tap the triggers to activate WXHB. The lower you set it the faster you need to tap. A somewhat low number is good for avoiding accidental activation.

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

Are you typing an essay

#

Oh

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

yes, yes he was

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

Derp, I was relying on the image being on top

#

Oh well

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:24 AM

#

So what I did figure out

#

Was that with my PS4 I can have additional hotbars by double-tapping each individual trigger and also by holding both triggers

#

What I can't figure out is how to actually assign skills to these additional hotbars

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

Place them on the bar they’re copying from

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:25 AM

#

they're assigned to crossbar hotbar 7 and 8 respectively by default

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 AM

#

Cause using the pad button only lets me modify my original eight hot bars that I can cycle through with R1

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 AM

#

WXHB and Hold act as “mirrors” that look at the bar they’re assigned to

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 AM

#

You'll have to manually swap to those in order to assign buttons

#

not shortcut swap

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:26 AM

#

So if your WXHB uses set 4 of both halves, you go to set four and place the actions there

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:27 AM

#

Okay

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:27 AM

#

What WXHB or Hold XHB is doing is basically doing the bumper swap for you without needing you to actually perform bumper swap

#

So instead of R1 > O it's just R2 > R2 as an example

#

Or R2 + L2 or L2 + R2

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:28 AM

#

So if Rescue is the only skill on my 2nd hotbar with X Square Triangle and Circle how would I set that on the WXHB so it's there instead of me needing to hit R1

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:28 AM

#

so you'd need to either rebind WXHB to set 2

#

or go to the set WXHB is currently assigned to and place your skills there

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

Oh

#

Alright I figured that part out

#

So what's confusing me now is that there's an option to also use the d-pad as the cast button after double tapping L2 or R2 but I don't see an option to actually assign the d-pad hotbar to any of my sets

#

Oh

#

Never mind figured it out

#

It's one or the other

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:33 AM

#

You mean this setting?

📎 image0.jpg

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:33 AM

#

Yeah that was the one

#

Now then the setting above that

#

How does that one work

#

Do I have to press one trigger and then the other?

#

No I see how that works

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:34 AM

#

“Enable only 4 buttons” means it only shows the actions attached to the face button side of the crossbar half

#

So X/triangle/Square/Circle

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:34 AM

#

Yeah

#

I figured that one out

#

I lied I don't know how the L2 + R2 setting above that one works

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:35 AM

#

You hold one of the two and then also hold the other.

#

So you can have L2+R2 go to one set, while R2+L2 go to another set.

#

Personally I just have both go to the same set to avoid confusion

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:36 AM

#

That's what I'm doing so when I hold both down it pulls up the X Square Triangle Circle set and then also the d-pad set

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:36 AM

#

https://tenor.com/5RIm.gif

Tenor

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:36 AM

#

So is there a way to get that one to display as well as the other two

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:37 AM

#

no

#

only XHB and WXHB have unique UI elements

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:38 AM

#

So the Expanded Hold Controls hotbars I can't display along with the WXHB and XHB

#

The one that appears when I hold both triggers, that is

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

yes

#

Hold bar replaces your Active XHB when you perform the hold imput

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

Ohh

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

and then swaps back when you release

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

Do I even need that one as a WHM that can only go to 60 🤔

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

you might

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

I think I only unlock like three more skills from 48 to 60

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

I'm not sure how many buttons WHM uses but you do need most or all of them, unless you wanna curebot

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

idk

#

Let me check real quick

final steeple Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

i would like more mounts what are some mounts that are easy to get?

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:40 AM

#

Easiest early source is from Jonathas in Old Gridania with achievement certificates

final steeple Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 AM

#

i got those already

#

i also got the primal horses

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 AM

#

I lied

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 AM

#

They’re not fast to get, but each of the beast tribes have a mount to buy.

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:41 AM

#

I get six additional skills from 50 to 60

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:42 AM

#

Gold Saucer also has a small horde of mounts

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:42 AM

#

So the answer is I don't need the Hold hotbar

#

I can just use double triggers for now

final steeple Jan 30, 2021, 7:42 AM

#

obsidian patio They’re not fast to get, but each of the beast tribes have a mount to buy.

ok good to know thanks

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:43 AM

#

obsidian patio Gold Saucer also has a small horde of mounts

Now that double-tapping L2 and R2 mirrors my 2nd set if I take Rescue off the 2nd set will it also remove Rescue from the WXHB

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

Yes

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

The answer is yes

#

That's gay

frozen girder Jan 30, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I don't understand how this is used

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

Also why is it only applying to the skills I have on X Square Triangle and Circle when I hold R2 for the 2nd set

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:45 AM

#

It’s basically a reward for optimally using Third Eye.

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

Is it because of the Use only four buttons setting

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

In terms of potency per Kenki it’s slightly more efficient than Shinten

slate arrow Jan 30, 2021, 7:46 AM

#

only barely though, so it's not worth going out of your way for

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 7:46 AM

@obsidian patio wait so how'd you display that PC hotbar below the controller hotbars?

i mean you bought new content so obviously you need to download it

full latch Jan 30, 2021, 8:09 AM

I thought I downloaded the whole thing in one so when you buy the expansion you instantly can load in

it's like that in destiny since f2p players can explore the new locations

#

honestly with this games sub fee I feel like the base game should be f2p

remote lintel Jan 30, 2021, 8:10 AM

most sub games require you to buy the base game

and you can still play the entire base game for free

I hear that so often. Are people not aware that we've had subscription based MMO's for like...over a decade now?

its the norm.

I did say over.

#

it's the norm but I feel like making people pay an extra cost over the base game is kinda dumb. at this point make the game f2p and have them pay the monthly fee

thats kind of why I was very hesitant from touching mmo games. I only got into ff14 because I was bored of destiny and gained interest of another mmo game but it's not out yet

no

really?

agile laurel Jan 30, 2021, 9:50 AM

irrelevant as to what job you need to level to unlock others

Their only requirement is to have Shadowbringers and one job at Lv 60

for any job?

If any of your jobs get to 60 you unlock the ability to job change to both DNC and GNB

#

so long as you have one of them at 60, and own shadowbringers you cna unlock dnc/gnb

what happens when i get stormblood and shadow?

oh, but i can own the expansion not do the missions until i beat ARR and HW

there's no way to go straight to stormblood/shadowbringers (unless you buy a main scenario skip)

i'm definitely gonna buy it soon then XD

graceful vault Jan 30, 2021, 10:09 AM

On the other hand, I started in Ul'dah and now I see that I do not stop traveling doing the main missions (I completed now the pirate quest). Should I keep doing the main quest thread and ignore the Gridania and Limsa side quests? I see a lot of missions and it really overwhelms me. I would like to follow an order. Make Ul'dah first, then for example Gridania with the three classes there and then Limsa.

#

But I dont know if it is optimal. I see that there are lot of costs for traveling

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 10:09 AM

#

yes, general recommendation is to focus on the main scenario quest, your class/job quests and bluequest

#

sidequest can generally be ignored, they're not that great for exp and are mostly there for lore/story

graceful vault Jan 30, 2021, 10:10 AM

#

I wish teleports would be free, they cost a lot 😆

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 10:11 AM

as you get higher in lvl, they start getting pretty negligible

since the gil given from msq is generally more than enough to cover costs

If you're in ARR every bluequest that corresponds with another class or a DoH/DoL job is inside of a guild

Once you have done a few dungeons, you can do the leveling roulette once per day with a different job and slowly level it up

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 10:30 AM

So if you pull up your map and look at the quests you can just avoid all the bluequest that are at an area marked with '_____'s Guild'

Hello, kinda nooby question- my mainchar is a WMA (raiding and so on). for story-progressing, there is no sense to do it with a WMA/healer, even if its the mainchar regarding to high gear etc., or? a high single target dps char e.g. samurai/summoner is better; so the only question is at what item lvl my chars are. wma is 486 and sma is 480, so not a real difference

Assuming you don't fail mechanics, definitely

Using healers is mainly so that you can recover from fuck ups better

DPS do have the passive echo regen but even then they have a soft fuck up limit

Healers and Paladin? Psssh, just use your heals if you fucked up

I’ve downloaded ps4 remote play to try and get the drivers for the controller as suggested by someone in the novice network but I’m lost on how to fix this

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 12:34 PM

#

there’s no exact rotation unless u re a blm, u just need to learn the opener, after that it all depends on skill priority

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 12:34 PM

sorry for bad wording

What openers should I use? Does it depend on the enemy or the area I'm in?

Does the game run that much better on PS5 than on PS4 Pro?

fresh lodge Jan 30, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

Well the SSD vs HDD makes a huge difference

raven cliff Jan 30, 2021, 12:48 PM

Doesn't PS4 Pro use SSD too?

fresh lodge Jan 30, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

No

gritty cedar Jan 30, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

the loading time on ps5 will make u not a same man again, and the game is smoother

raven cliff Jan 30, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

Oh no

#

I'm scared now

#

I guess if I were to find a PS5 then I would literally have to get rid of the PS4 because I'd get spoiled by those load times

yes

How does that compare to a good gaming PC?

"good gaming pc" means nothing

i would not recommend using that website at all

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:01 PM

gotcha

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

especially if you're looking at the active section

as their method for showign activity is very very bad

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

also what is the "legacy" thing on servers mean?

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

servers that were 1.0 or are merged 1.0 servers

#

they dont really mean much these days

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

gotcha thnx

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Legacy server just means they're the oldest server(s) on that datacenter

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

oh

#

should that be "good"

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

like i said, it means pretty much nothing these days

#

because most of the servers have been around since ARR

#

with exception of 4 in EU

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

aha

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

but even then, those servers have been around for alteast a year

#

so its really a moot point all in all

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

The only servers that would be "good" would be the preferred ones for leveling up quicker

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

i'll just pick the one i like the most name wise then lol

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:04 PM

But the next patch comes out in just under a week and the preferred servers should change

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

oh

#

which one do you recommend me now if i want to go to chaos?

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:04 PM

Even then you don't need a preferred server to level up quickly

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT Jan 30, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
Moogle (Large amount of French players)
Shiva (Large amount of German players)

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:05 PM

thnx

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

I'm on Aether's legacy server Sargatanas and it wasn't until now when I hit Lv 48 that my MSQ finally caught up to me in level

#

So just pick any world on a datacenter in your region

#

Physically, all datacenters for a region are in the same location so it also doesn't matter which one you pick

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:06 PM

#

oh so that's why people say french and german well it's just 1 server on light and chaos

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:06 PM

#

For example Aether, Primal and Crystal, which are the NA datacenters are physically all located in California

#

And the EU datacenters if I'm not mistaken are in Berlin

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

that's what i've read

#

so it doesn't really matter

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:07 PM

it's a bit confusing so many posibilities to my brain XD

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:08 PM

Because almost everything is cross-world since you can just visit another World if you want to

#

Kael I has a question

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

ah

#

yes?

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

No Kaelwryn

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

no i meant like yes to the crossworld

#

xD

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Oh

#

Yeah

#

You can just visit other worlds

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

so you can travel for thru all the chaos "servers"

#

is that what you mean

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

basically if you're not sure where to go, either go for a preferred server or a server with the name you like that's in your region

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

or the light ones too

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

For example I have three people on my friends' list who are from different worlds on Aether

#

It's limited to your datacenter

#

So if you're on the Light datacenter you can visit any of the Worlds on the Light datacenter

#

But you can't visit worlds on the Chaos datacenter

#

And vice-versa

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

well chaos shows with a starry thingy xD

#

@dire prawn ok that makes it clear

#

thnx

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Yeah

#

Like me right

#

I'm on Sargatanas on the Aether datacenter

#

But I can go visit Gilgamesh or Siren or Adamantoise if I wanted to

#

But I can't visit, say, Balmung, which is on Crystal

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

it's like 2 different servers light and chaos but chaos has "clusters" (ok might not be that but you know what i mean)

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

Or Famfrit which is on Primal

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

aha

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

so basically

#

data centers are a group of servers

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

yeah i get it now

#

groups of servers of people that can visit each other

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

mhm

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

if you are in that datacenter

#

ok

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

Yep

#

So if you wanted to visit Worlds on a different datacenter you'd have to make a new character on that datacenter

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

then it's just like... pick 1 datacenter and just the server itself doesn't matter

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

Yep

leaden ginkgo Jan 30, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

i'm sure i could always transfer (paying)

#

to another datacenter

#

but it doesn't really afect on servers

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

The only exception is if you want to level quickly because you're leveling an alt on another datacenter, in which case you'd want to make a character on a Preferred World for the Road to 70 bonus

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

server itself doesn't matter too much, but if you have a particular guild you want to join then it kind of does

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

That too

oak ice Jan 30, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

The only real thing a server limits is that you can't join guilds on other servers

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:14 PM

as guilds (called free companies ingame) are server based still

#

and housing

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:14 PM

Do you think it's easier on controller than it is on kb/m?

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 1:25 PM

obsidian patio Jan 30, 2021, 1:27 PM

They’re like a slightly more tame Ninja in terms of burst

Instead of like 10 different actions

there aren't any "preferred" prog comps

#

all the healers are great for prog

#

white mage is still the most popular healer in the game

#

they are very easy to play well and have the most accessible emergency healing

sch+ast may be the highest dps combo, but sch+whm has the higher amount of parses

#

most raid teams are going to run white mage + ast or sch

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:42 PM

#

so for the most part, generally people go with what people are more comfortable on

#

but whm+ ast/sch is often times "safer" for prog

#

ast+sch would be more for reclears, if your group cares about speed on those

#

ast is flexible since they can swap stances based on their cohealer

Stances?

#

astrologian has two "sects"

#

which are effectively a stance

#

one specializes in regens and generally has higher output, the other specializes in shields

twilit arch Jan 30, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

nocturnal sect, which is the shield "stance" and diurnal sect, which is the regen "stance"

robust crow Jan 30, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

so an astrologian can switch to being a shield healer when paired with a whm

#

and a regen healer when paired with a sch

dire prawn Jan 30, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

Cause SCH has shields right

robust crow Jan 30, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

some prog comps run regen ast + whm as well

open ember Jan 30, 2021, 1:45 PM

#

Because it offers both sch & whm abilities
