I'm reading more SAM and the rotation I have few questions :
-
How do you active weapons skills like Higanbana, you hit Iaijutsu to activate whatever you build on your gauge.
-
Most guides I've seen like the one on Saltedffxiv focus on single target rotation and I can't seem to find AoE guide to read about most videos just mention it and go back to single target. Anyone have a recommendation to an AoE rotation or a guide for it

Hello,
Returnee here (2015 last play). I still need a subscription if I wanna play, right?
abstract vapor
Oh I get it now
agile laurel
if you want to play past the free trial, yes
stiff summit
Am I considered free trial? I have an account and all
agile laurel
however you word it like you had a sub before, so that's off the cards
stiff summit
Exactly
agile laurel
if you've ever had subscription you're locked out of free trial
agile laurel
I think so. It should stop there, and then buying Shadowbringers will come bundled with Stormblood
stiff summit
Ohh, cool. Would you reckon it's better to start over and get that free trial or continue where I left off. 5 years of inactivity, I'm pretty outdated
agile laurel
don't quote me but i think stormblood would still require an additional purchase, however it'd be quite difficult and really stupid to not just buy it as part of Shadowbringers license
Shrug. Depends how you feel. There's an easy 100 hours of content in the free trial, so if you're just looking for a fix then probably start over
stiff summit
Can I share my profile and judge it from there?
agile laurel
however you could just as easily carry on, albeit it'd probably be good to find an ARR refresher writeup
there's one in #archived-lore-spoilers iirc.
Wouldn't really mean much, it's purely your decision honestly
unless your character's from 1.0 it's unlikely to have something of collected value on it
stiff summit
Like from XI?
stiff summit
Oh, right. Yeah, didn't get to play that
agile laurel
alright then in that case it's unlikely there's any key attachments to the character besides any you feel
stiff summit
I'll give the free trial a try then. I reckon healers still have good queuing time for runs, eh?
agile laurel
it's solely up to you, resuming play would be a tiny bit more costly in sub price but just as easy
yep. basically.
stiff summit

do i need to complete a relic weapon in bozja before starting another one?
surreal rapids
like getting it all the way to 520
agile laurel
you only can't be on the same step

ah ok
agile laurel
because ofc there's multiple steps to upgrading the relic
so in pure theory if you were on bitter memories on one relic, you could be collecting 20/20/20 memories on another, but you wouldn't be able to advance to bitter memories until completing the first

I made a ton of cash early patch by arbitraging stuff between market boards
used to buy from tonberry and offload to Kujata
ofc now prices are horrendously low everywhere
manic flare
isn't that a good thing if you aren't a crafter?
leaden ginkgo
do u buy gazelle hide?
quasi spire
It's a pretty good thing for prices to be low in general. Just a trick I know is that if your server has a low crafter population relative to others on the data center, then demand for crafted equipment when patches drop is very much higher than supply. So you can buy from cheaper and sell at home, making a tidy profit without having to be a crafter yourself
This only works in the immediate aftermath of patches, first 48 hours or so
manic flare
i agree. it's much better to create a character in a world with a seller's market. since u can't hop worlds to sell
have you tried arbitraging stuff like furniture, hairstyles, and various glam items?
zinc orbitBOT
manic flare
u can easily net 1 mil / transaction this way
the price differential for those can be really high across worlds
quasi spire
Yeah I do that too. With crafted equipment it's really about volume - it was literally selling within minutes of going up, every time
With furniture you might end up with something that just doesn't move at all
Hairstyles are fairly low across the board in elemental so no point
manic flare
oh really? the gyr abanian plait sells for 2-3 mill in crystal, depending on the world
quasi spire

Because old extremes will be easier than normal due to gear progression

No one's really doing old expansion extremes, except unsynced to farm mounts and such. If you check PF you'll probably find some learning parties for ShB extremes.

best way get crystals
is just to get myself ?
or should i get vendor lady
gloomy ice
Crafting shards can be gathered by hand or alternatively grown in a garden. Crafting crystals have to be gathered by hand. Both can be purchased from the market board but prices may vary wildly. Neither are sold at a vendor.
vast crown
you can send your retainer if lazy yeah
leaden ginkgo
to venture for them though?
yeah
doesnt she only get lke 60 though
or does she get more?
gloomy ice
If you have a gathering retainer, they can get shards, crystals, or clusters, yeah.
vast crown
gathering yourself is probably more efficient
gloomy ice
Higher gathering stat allows them to get more crystals and faster but I think their yield caps at 100 crystals per 40 minutes.
leaden ginkgo
ill just do both then
have them go out and ill grind them hourly
cuz i grinding for next 10 hours for 3 weeks
how many crystals is considered a lot?
im currently around 1k for ice and 4k+ for the rest
gloomy ice
You can hold 9,999 max of each type.
leaden ginkgo
ahhh
so ill just get 9999 for each
gonna stock up on fking cordial and grind for 5 hours

What does 3/9 mean in this context?
cinder patio
Hey, does anyone have any advice for how to recruit people to a FC without being one of "those people" who just spam everyone?
I am in a large FC (rank 30, large house, discord, etc) that is kind of dying as too many people have gone through endgame and are taking breaks. Our leader doesn't play anymore, so I kind of taken up the role. So we really need fresh blood so I can rebuild the FC and make it active again. Only problem, I am having issue recruiting people. I have tried advertising in shout but nobody ever responds (too many people do this I guess, so it just is lost in the noise). Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
cinder patio
Alright, I will try that out, thanks! ngl I forgot community finder even was a thing lol
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
What does 3/9 mean in this context?
Workshop projects do the turn-ins in sets of 3. So that means it wants a total of 9 of that item, donated in 3 sets of 3 items.
cinder patio
Go personally ask people nicely without FCs
Is there a way to tell if someone is a trial account or not before asking them? Don't want to waste their time if they can't even respond to tells after all

No

Since the GCD is a set time, machines can see "your Gcds would have gone off normally at X times"
Any that dont go off at the set times is lost uptime

yeah that much i understand

im not sure i see it tbh
but i think there's small clipping
when i zoomed it
since i assumed the grayed out area is cooldown

Are Khloe's Gold Certificates of Commendation still available? On the reward list for 3 lines, all I see is the MGP cards and silver certificates (or do I have to unlock something further?)

Are the coins dropped from old alliance raids useless now? Now you use poetics to upgrade old tome gear.
twilit arch
what level are you @burnt otter
burnt otter
80
twilit arch
and you only see 2 rewards for 3 lines?
silver ruin
they're definitely still there
burnt otter
twilit arch
did you pick up the book before you were 80?
silver ruin
thats why
twilit arch
ok then thats why
the book is "locked" to the rewards for <80
once you get a new book, you'll see all 3 rewards
halcyon rune
Should I get rid of the old alliance raid coins? I can't see anywhere to use them.
twilit arch
@halcyon rune yeah coins from 60/70 raids have no use now
halcyon rune
Are they still obtainable tho?
twilit arch
afaik no
cold steppe
can the clipping be caused by the play macro?
i tried using diffrent hotbar next to party icons for draw, can this sometimes be slower than directly pressing on a unit and then play instead?
halcyon rune
Now I kinda wanna keep them if they are unobtainable.
faint flare
Macros are naturally slower Yes
cold steppe
hmm
faint flare
Due to lack of skill que
cold steppe
maybe thats why
huh shame, if it's the cause then thats sad as that separate sidebar for plays seemed like a good idea at first
jovial tide
Is ruby ex a prereq for emerald ex?
faint flare
No
cold steppe
you can do emerald ex without previous extremes
faint flare
All extremes and savages are seperate from each other
slate arrow
The only time extremes have a prereq are in ARR and Heavensward
cold steppe
yeah i';ve checked it and it seems like yeah it's the macro hotbar that can cause a clipping?
slate arrow
yep that would do it
cold steppe
ofc assuming im fast enough to press people - play - tab to enemy back instead lol
slate arrow
Not much you can do outside of skipping the macro and manually targeting lmao
faint flare
Use the F keys to target allies
Or some bind for them
You can targrt people during the cast, hit play then tab
cold steppe
if id want to target them via hotkey i'll definitely need to get used to it first
since area around wasd is ocupied for the most part anyway
faint flare
Having a hotkey to target people is really useful especially when you need to swap targets often
Cause again, you can just press the button during a cast bar
cold steppe
thats true
faint flare
Basically using the gcd to think in advance
cold steppe
im aware what you mean honestly lol
i just kinda always kept clicking with mouse since ususally my right hand is less ocupied
as left is doing movement/skills and right is basically camera/modificators so i thought pressing them by hand with mouse would be probably best for that setup
i guess it's trial and error time
zinc orbitBOT
cold steppe
also i've seen some people pushing single healer in emerald, is that a thing?

probably whm too? idk about sch

i've seen it sometimes on pf and i just wonder if it's actuall strat for pf or smth
that i dont know of
silver ruin
nah its just they wanna kill it faster
but like, in pf its debatable if thats actually worth it cause you get pepegas
faint flare
Tbh there's like no damage in Emerald outside of Orbs
Its entirely possible. You're already throwing everything at orbs anyway, tank mitigation etc
cold steppe
i always sweat at orbs
lol
but yeah makes sense, if everyone knows what they're doing there's not much guarenteed teamwide damage
tho tbh i myself at this point started to save horoscope + celestial for bombs when people group up at the middle to top off, even if i clip
thanks for explaining~
icy kiln
if I use both Rampart and Sentinel, do they stack to 50% damage reduction? (but I wanna do them separate to prolong a defensive buff, correct?)
dire prawn
If I'm not mistaken the buffs are multiplicative rather than additive so it would be something like 44% instead of 50%
faint flare
Its like 44% or something
0.8 x 0.7 (damage taken)
Is 0.56, which is 44% damage reduction
icy kiln
ah, alright, makes sense
leaden ginkgo
Hey, decided to give this game a try again since I'm itching for a good RPG
I'm on the EU Chaos data centre, but I'm not sure which world to choose
Are there differences between each?
faint flare
No
dire prawn
nope
faint flare
!faq worldpick
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
You play with every server on thr data centre
And you can visit them via world visit
dire prawn
Only Worlds that are different are Preferred Worlds because they have Road to 70 bonus
leaden ginkgo
Ahh cool then
It looks like the two preferred (starred?) worlds are greyed out for some reason
faint flare
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Read here
dire prawn
:^)
leaden ginkgo
I'm guessing congestion
faint flare
Wait until late at night, its based on people online
dire prawn
Yeah bunch of people on them
leaden ginkgo
So I guess I just play later then
If I make the character on say Omega, can I transfer it to Louisoix or Spriggan?
I'm also a free trial player if that matters
remote lintel
it costs 18 usd to transfer
faint flare
For money, or world visit for free (for other chaos servers)
leaden ginkgo
Ah then its best to wait I assume
faint flare
Transferring wont give you the buff anyway
dire prawn
If you want the Road to 70 bonus which you don't really need then yeah wait
If you don't want the Road to 70 bonus then don't wait and make a character on another world
leaden ginkgo
How big of a difference is it?
faint flare
Doubles all xp
leaden ginkgo
I'd rather play on a server with more people and more active
dire prawn
Road to 70 is a 100% exp boost to everything
remote lintel
all worlds are active
leaden ginkgo
Oh thats pretty big
faint flare
However
leaden ginkgo
I think I'll wait then
faint flare
Your levels mean nothing
dire prawn
But you don't need it to level up stupid fast either
faint flare
Story locks EVERYTHING
leaden ginkgo
Oh?
remote lintel
everything is story locked
faint flare
There's no point rushing levels without doing story
leaden ginkgo
Ah so I may as well just make it on Omega
faint flare
You can be lv80 with lv20 story and have 60 worthless levels
leaden ginkgo
So I can play now
dire prawn
I'm on Sargatanas on Aether datacenter which isn't a Preferred World and my MSQ didn't catch up to me until it jumped from 46 to 49
faint flare
The buff primarily helps level alt jobs
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Okay so the preferred world thing doesn't really matter
And I can ignore it and play now
dire prawn
Does the +100% exp from the Armoury EXP bonus apply to everything you do like Road to 70 does
faint flare
It just makes levelling alts less tedious
remote lintel
@dire prawn no
faint flare
Only mob kills
dire prawn
So that's why people say spam dungeons on alts 🤔
faint flare
Pretty much
remote lintel
you spam dungeons when you dont have anything else to do
faint flare
Plus they give good xp anyway
leaden ginkgo
I guess I'll get dinner and see if the restriction is lifted by the time I'm done
If not fuck it I'll just play on another English-speaking server
remote lintel
theres only 2 non english worlds in eu
leaden ginkgo
Ah then I should be fine
This is gonna be my first MMO so I'm excited
I think I'll play the whole free trial before deciding whether or not I want to spend money
remote lintel
thats usually what people do
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, makes sense

Which 2 are non english btw?

echo solar
if i buy the game+dlc on steam can i use the codes on my SE trial instead
open coral
Going from trial to sub is the only time you can switch between PC and Steam.
So if you buy the game on Steam, you'll be locked to that platform permanently.
icy kiln
is there any benefit between for one over the other?
remote lintel
steam has less frequent sales
twilit arch
Steam lets you pay sub/mogstation items with steam wallet
echo solar
so rn im not using the steam trial
but if i buy the game and dlc on steam can i reg it on my SE trial
twilit arch
yes
remote lintel
you can go from windows trial to full steam
open coral
You're registering the game to your account, not to the trial.
twilit arch
the point they're making is that once you buy and use the steam code, you're locked into steam for any and all future expansion purchases

what were you queuing for

That one suffers from longer queues due to being a sidequest dungeon, along with bots hoarding the “instance limit” of it to farm for gil.

Just a quick question.
If one was to make an alt and for example wanted to buy a samurai job level boost from mog station, does that mean I’d be able to start the game as a samurai at the starting city?

you would pick a starting class and then change to samurai after you use the job skip
