Outside of social aspects, gil cap is the main one
I'd say people probably start feeling the trial restrictions if/when they get into crafting.
Since story gives you alot of gil and there's not toooooo many ways to dump it easily
@open coral I'm guessing you mean market restrictions
Yep
tyty
That will probably make me cave in then. Tradeskills are one of my main activities in MMOs
Nobody is obligated to play the game. If your friends aren't interested, you can't force them to be.
Q_Q
they wouldn't even give this game a chance
my one friend skipped every piece of story and rushed to level 30
and quit
@leaden ginkgo I feel your pain đ˘
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
my other friend potion skipped to 70
If they don't respect the game the game won't respect them
like your obviously not gonna find the game fun if you do that
Nothing you can really do about that
It sounds like they weren't interested in the game in the first place.
If they were, they wouldn't have skipped everything like that.
my friends mostly play either LOL or FPS
Yeah, so there's the problem.
does more blizzard during ice phase = faster mp regen for blm?
Yep that would do it. It requires a big shift in mindset to tackle MMOs
@runic prawn yes
This game is about as far to the other end of the MMO genre from LOL and FPS games as you can get.
I am really good at LOL and as I have gotten older I prefer FFXIV
so more spellspeed is more mp huh? blm doesnt like piety?
just more laid back
ah
It's not about spellspeed = MP. It's simply the function of Umbral Ice.
my friend got put into a jail cell thing how long till he gets out?
It regenerates per tick
So you'll need to wait ~3 seconds minimum to max out your Mp
@leaden ginkgo whenever a GM drops by
Sounds like he did a very bad naughty
yeah he plays a lot of league so slurs are common
You mean GM jail? Yeah, whenever a GM gets around to talk to them about whatever they did.
and I think he spammed his N word macro 2 much
Yeahh, your friend might not be getting out of jail.
yeah no that would do it
If it's close enough for GM discretion
It's functionally the same thing.
my friend uses that macro in league to bypass getting banned
That won't fly in XIV
That's what the GMs are for
When we say "this game is the opposite end of the spectrum" that's in every way possible.
Including enforcement of the TOS
I had 6 friends download this game. One liked it and is now level 34, the other quit after he hit level 6. 3 potion skipped and quit cuz the game was resident sleeper. One of them got banned and my last friend skipped all the story and has no idea what is going on
glad that GMs are doing there job, no offense. I hate toxic communities. Which is why I couldn't enjoy LoL
yeah, that sounds about normal for people who don't try to play it the normal way
If they're all primarily FPS and RTS players, then yeah. That sounds about right.
This game is a final fantasy first and MMO second
If you want to play it, 90% of the time you stay because you like the story and character development
yeah I think most of my friends didn't like the community
10% is all of the side content
they thought people were being nice in a sarcastic way

Nope. People here are (mostly) genuinely being nice.
Or just mostly passive aggressiveness because the GMs can and will draw hard lines on behavior
And by "here" I mean "in FFXIV", not "in this Discord"
it's like a fun single player game till you get to group content
In this Discord we're all sarcastic assholes.
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I've played a lot of MMOs in my time, but this is the 2nd one where I actually stopped to read dialogue and pay attention to the story
Anyways the point being is that unless they're looking for a final fantasy game they probably won't stick around
It's telling when usually the new players are either single player game fans or WoW fans looking for something new most of the time
And if they try to pull the kind of ban-dodging shit people pull in games like LOL, they're gonna get flagged and banned.
At least, that's what it feels like
I explained this to my friend
Of course you do have people like me who picked it up on a whim back when it was free for a limited period
well, he'll learn eventually.
If he can't not be toxic, he's got bigger problems.
Hopefully.
he has 10+ permabanned account
in LOL
Yeah, he's definitely got bigger problems.
I think he has bigger problems than just being toxic, yeah.
is there a way to disable chat in ffxiv?
I think it's possible to delete the chat box from the hud
But it does reappear if you press enter or relog
You can hide the chat or swap to a tab that doesnât have chat in it
Or Change log filters to filter out the chat
when my friends gets unbanned I will try that
I don't think they're getting unbanned since slurs are pretty heavily looked down upon
^
yeah idk he called the gm the N word and when I asked him why he told how is he supposed to not say the N word to someone who has a dark skinned character

...
Oh yeah. That's a lifetime ban right there.
Definitely problems.
Yeah not happening
can he make a new character?
No
No.
he was on trial
Especially since he was rude to the GM too
can't he just make a new one
Yeah, but his IP will probably be flagged
So uhhhh
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Good luck, I guess.
We don't know what goes on behind the scenes
bruh I am so sad I wanted to make a static with all my friends to play savage raids
Make new friends.
^
Ones who aren't toxic.
They don't sound like healthy people to be around, no matter how good they are at games.
If they literally can't take a moment to read what they're about to send and just not send it

There are plenty of Actually Decent people who play video games and are also good at them.
there actually not that toxic compared to most people who play LOL
What he said.
You're just making excuses for them.
I am pretty sure my friend is in the top 50% of the community in league when it comes to being positive
But that doesn't make them not toxic
like honor level 3/5
League isn't accurate in the slightest
Like you said, they use a macro to get around word filters.
Honestly I'd say that XIV would be a better morality measure because they police it so tightly.
oh so league is diff than ffxiv. Like people in league just hold u hostage for up to 45 mins at a time and waste ur time. So if your only toxic in chat imo it's not that bad
In community
Yes. What we've been saying this whole time is that XIV is not LOL
You're comparing a banana to an orange
A rotten banana
FFXIV'S Tolerance is much, much lower. It's so low that people have been banned for harassing and demeaning people without using in game chat whatsoever.
I think we reached the overall end of the original question. Your friendâs attitude will keep getting them banned if they donât keep themselves in check
^
for some reasons, my game becomes super lag and keep spawning 90006 error
Check your internet first. Might be a node failure.
how to check node? :shy:
You can't
You can check your router, and try pinging your datacenter's IP to see if data is getting "lost" on the trip.
And FFXIV can't report on every node failure since that's out of their jurisdiction
(gotta love ISPs amirite)
I'd recommend pinging your datacenter first, to see if it's a pathway issue, and resetting your router if the IP ping doesn't return any meaningful information.
100% lost
100%???
well, I ping the datacenter like you said
Yeah that sounds like a dead/down node somewhere along the way
That usually wouldn't happen, but if it's not getting lost at your end, then I'd guess that a whole node is down.
So you just have to wait either for the node to come back up, or for the network to start suggesting a different route for the data.
could someone explain to me the gearing/stats in eureka? Someone recommended I get a Kirin's Osode because it gives better stats apparently than shb gear?
will VPN help?
new here got a couple of questions
Only if the malfunctioning node isn't a unique pathway @plain python
Eureka as a whole syncs you to i300, gear above that will have materia ignored and stats synced down.
Some of the gear from Eureka, like the Osode, has the âEureka Bonusâ stat, which is basically a stat that boosts your overall damage and damage mitigation
Itâs basically like having extra Magicite in every element
Basically, you either need Eureka relic gear or Eureka Bonus gear if you want to get past the i300 limit
would melding these specific eureka gear give bonus stats?
I don't think you can meld but yes they would function like normal if you can
I got the relic boots but they don't really seem to do anything special?
See that Eureka gear tag?
When you put them on in eureka they shouldn't have the sync symbol applied
The Kirin Osode and Vermilion cloak are i300 with meld slots, so their materia is useful
Nah that gear still has the restriction
Itâll be a green stat on the item
doesn't look like it syncs to me
Wynne I have trust issues now
âEureka Effectâ and the things below it
Does eureka gear sync or not sync
It should be syncing
That galatyn certainly doesn't look synced
What happens if you put on those boots
oh it didn't change
The anemos boots
going from galatyn to emerald

I feel betrayed.
Correct
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
how confusing xD
so if I understand it, focus on getting gear that has specific eureka bonus, if they're ilvl 300 i can materia them, but anything that's synced down i can leave them as is?
I get 430 gear left side from tempest, bout what bout right side?
Basically
Run the level 79 and first level 80 dungeon for accessories
I see
@fresh marten get 430 right side from The Last Days, The Twinning, or Anyder academia
Alternatively you can get 450 from the first raid tier of the expansion
What about the tomestone gear
Can also spend tomestones of Allegory on i490 accessories in Eulmore once you finish up the leveling story
They do cost a pretty tomestone each so you should probably do the dungeons for the first time allegory bonus
Where do you obtain the bigger brothers of tiny tomestones
what
The ones after 70
Level 80 content
wtf happened to the market...
Aka you won't be getting them until the last days in the MSQ
I hear it's a weekly thing?
Someone probably did some melding
There's a max amount per week
Only tomestones of Revelation have a weekly cap
The current tomestone is always capped
Allegory arenât limited
not really
2000 yes
Here's a general guide on how to gear up at 80 without grinding too hard
I mean what else is there other than gear
thereâs not much point to getting BiS every tier unless youâre a savage raider
is there a list of eureka-specific gear outside of relics like the kirin?
and even then people clear with crafted gear just fine
will there be another model change for relic or is it just glow change left?
Elemental gear @nova umbra
model change
cool. 5.5 im guessing?
ah
And 6.0 MSQ build uppp
is .6 patch a thing?
5.56
.5 is generally the last major patch
How often are patches
unless they decide to be weird and add an extra but that's highly unlikely
Once a month?
@fresh marten which kinds
Build up one's
big patches like 5.1 5.2 etc approx every 3 months
I see
(replace 4 with any number in an expansion patch cycle)
im just super sad about smn relic model. like wtf is that thing. glad theres at least another model change coming
but with 5.5 being the last one of the expansion it'll last longer, probably like 5-7 months, until whenever the next expansion releases
The sole exception is 5.3 because crowonavirus
Oh and an early Heavensward patch because the team hella burned out

restoration is permanent content
So, yes you can still participate. if your server's completed all the stages, the only thing you won't be able to do is the FATES that spawn after a work stage has been completed/see the changes of the zone
how do I know if my server is already done?
Does the restoration event give any special mounts?
its not an event
all of the rewards from restoration can be gotten via restoration scrips or kupo of fortune scratch card
the ranking was kinda an event, and it's over, rewards were titles
the actual building stuff depend on your server, some are over, all it gives is 500scrips and a bunch of xp when there's a FATE after enough turn ins, so you don't miss much, everything else is permanent stuff, you can still get points for titles/mounts, you can get scrips for all the scrip stuff(glamour/mount/emotes/hair etc) and you can still get xp and everything else is still in
when do daily roulette rewards reset?
!daily
oh nice haha
will eureka zones be dead for a while since the new bozja stuff came out?
probably see a drop in participation in eureka for a while, yeah
whats the FFXIV Announcement Showcase going to be about? does anyone know?
New expansion announcement with some major details about it.
seriously?
hi!
I am playing with an XBOX One controller and I am not sure if i am doing anything wrong but when I see the enemies and I am inside a fight with more than one enemy, sometimes I get in the bottom left a screen with the names of the enemies with a bar with their health. And I can move between them with left and right arrow. But sometimes I dont get this window. Is it normal?
Sometimes I fight against 2 enemies and I only see 1 bar. Or fighthing various and seeing less that the real number of enemies.
Do people actually play xiv with a gamepad?
whatever the expansion's name it is, I am buying it
@graceful vault try the controller guide vids on youtube
Yeah if it wasnât for the Covid delays, we would have already had all three fan fests, which is where expansion announcements usually happen. Since the live venues were canceled, theyâre doing this âannouncement showcaseâ and a digital fan fest in April.
i hear no expansion till fall 2021
Absolutely it's good shit
Final fanfest last time was in march so...almost
my friend raided savage with a controller back in SB but he he the only person I met in game that used a gamepad

It'd far from niche Elder
Yikes. I need to make 3 Grade 1 Intelligence Dissolvents in HQ and I do not have not have enough gil to buy them from the market boards nor do I have the Mogporn or Deepeye Tears to make said Dissolvents. I can really use the help. And I do not want to use a Tales of Adventures for Alchemist either. I should know, I made that mistake once.
That little window is the enemy list. You need to hit each enemy at least once to have see them in the enemy list.
To progress from the CT memory farm to the HW memory farm, do you have to turn your CT memories in?
Buy the mogpom and deepeye tears not the actual potion. Buying the actual requested item gets ridiculously expensive and the only people who do that are amazingly silly or literally had a billion Gil and does not care
Please be sensible in your buying for crafting
How much is the Mogporn going for? I can farm the Deepeye Tears easily.
Shell protects from raid wides
In my experience, whichever you don't get will be scarce in your group :P But I'd say shell for anything other than MT because raidwides are usually magical
Protect is primarily physical
Market value differs on world, find out yourself
We can't really say
Though DR first boss raid wide is physical
the ||discount ravana||?
Yes
Yeah i kind of dont want to have bith there are better actiosn that Id like ti use xd
I may or may not have enough gil to buy the Mogporn. Is it a type of seafood?
I don't recall but you can just look it up
Itâs a fish, yeah.
Just swap them out after buffing people
I politely disagree. Switching makes you run out of them real quick, and after rezzing, you'd have to reapply them. I just stick with lost shell and lost bravery.
I did check the forums on Gamer Escape for FFXIV. And I found out the Mogpom is indeed a seafood. Except one problem. My Fisher is not even high enough level to catch them.
But I do know where they can be caught. The Churning Mists in Dravania.
Then buy it? This'll come out wayyyy cheaper than when you tried to buy the potions outright
But this is not optimal. If i play in a raid and my team is hitting an enemy, I would like to have it in the enemy list so i can easily go and hit the same đŚ
However. I can see if my FC has some.
There is an easier and arguably faster way to switch targets on controller. While youâre holding either of the triggers for your skills, tap LB or RB to quickly cycle between visible targets.
Ill try, thanks !
If I can farm enough Deepeye Tears. That will cover 1/3 of the materials needed to make the dissolvents.
it is an unspoken etiquette rule to queue for roulettes/duties with people in your FC?
whats the quickest way to complete resistance remember quest. I see many farming void ark. Can i get both types of dying memories from there? and how many memories u need?
Depends on the FC maybe? I would usually say "anyone wanna join me?" when queuing for common stuff like roulettes as tank or healer to offer faster queues, but didn't bother as dps.
i usually queue solo because of the AIN bonus
if you queue as part of a party, you dont get the AIN bonus i believe
AIN alone usually isn't worth it in my experience. Even the clusters these days, I'm sitting on a pile of them because I get so much free materia from other sources.
but yeah there is no etiquette about this
just wondering because there was reddit thread about this
how you are being an ass if u dont queue with your fc mates
That sounds like someone who got spurned in a roulette party or two.
Might be a personal issue
Not to be rude but that sounds like someoneâs personal opinion and not so much an etiquette thing
Nobody is required to ask friends or guildies to do content with them.
Anyone who feels like other people should always be asking them if they want to queue just comes off as entitled.
In most other MMOs, Free Companies are called guilds yeah.
I know it's weird to ask such questions here, but...
So âguildiesâ are your FC mates
Anyone has stella nox fleuret preset xd? Or know any cause nothing on eorzea
Ok, not the same as friends e.e
There really isnât anything in game that resembles Stella or Lunafreya sadly.
One of the wedding dresses maybe? But itâs kind of a stretch.
This is closest I could try with stella look, just need to switch to hyur
Sorry fir quality haha on ps
Can you have more than 4 chat logs?
What is the best optimal way of having the logs? I want to quit exp from general, and move it to second log, but of all battles option I dont know exp what is
I dont see any presets for hyurs that look like stella Im bad at creating characters lol, I guess Ill just have to experiment
Not much options tho
Thatâs a cash shop costume set btw.
And yeah that might be the closest thing
I was wondering if there are any chestpieces close to this
Minfilia top isnt really doing a job xd
Only four max I believe. As for âoptimalâ Iâm not so sure? Itâs kind of a preference thing.
Unsure if thereâs anything quite like that? Although the #glamour-discussion channel might know more than me. đ
Ok, I have an odd question now, can you make disappear the hud? Hide log window option right?
Does anyone here have a OLED tv?
Is this the last relic stage or is there gonna be more?
There will be at least one more stage in 5.5
Thank
Scroll Lock is the default bind for hiding the UI. To hide the chat during a cutscene, rightclick the chat box iirc. I don't know about on controller though.
Can a house roommate play their orchestrions that you donât have in your house?
Scroll lock? Where is that in settings?
It just hides the entire hud? Great
Ok lol
Or at least, not gaming keyboards.
As I feared. I do not have enough gil to buy the Mogpom.
Houses, yes if theyâre made a tenant. Apartments, no because they canât be shared.
What happens if they add their songs to the list and then stop being a tenant?
Theyâll keep playing as long as you donât change it.
Cool, thanks!
As you can all see. These are all the prices of Mogpom on Goblin.
Complete challenge log entries.
They're worth a good chunk of gil each, and the ones for completing 5/10/15/20 etc. are worth more.
Do the dungeon ones (3 roulettes, 5 dungeons, comm 5 people) and the chocobo or beast tribe ones, for an easy 30k
There are challenge log entries for it? Geez. What locations?
Locations? The Challenge Log isn't location based.
You unlock it with the level 15
"Up For A Challenge" in the Limsa Lominsa adventurer's guild, and you can then complete the challenges weekly.
They're in your Logs menu.
You mean Hunting Logs?
Anybody got a recommendation on what job I should play as a beginner? no healer : (
Play whatever interests you. You're not permanently locked to a single job, so if you don't like what you've chosen by the time you hit level 10, you can switch.
Are there Beast Tribe Daily Quests where I can get Mogpom from?

If I queue up to Alliance roulette with the daily bonus down, do I still get the 100 poetics for completing Syrcus?
is there a macro to dragon sight a certain party member?
You can set up a macro that will automatically target a specific party member @crystal bluff
What's your question, exactly?
A Time to Every Purpose
Have you completed all three instances of the Crystal Tower raid?
Labyrinth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower, and World of Darkness?
You've only done the first Crystal Tower raid.
3Âż?
You need to finish the whole story for Crystal Tower
Go back to St. Coinach's Find in Mor Dohna
i complete crystal towers 4
There are three raids in the Crystal Tower series.
you only have 1 crystal tower raid
You need A Light of hope done. Which is the end of the crystal tower quest line
There are Labyrinth of the Ancient, Crystal Tower, and World of Darkness
You completed "Labyrinth of the Ancients" which is part of the Crystal Tower, but not its entirety.
Back to the NPC at St. Coinach's Find in Mor Dohna.
yes
hey guys, wanna ask a few question. im on lv51 free trial. so which edition should i buy to get complimentary 30days game time upon purchase? i believe the expansion ShB itself dont give you gametime upon purchase. so if i want to save a bit money. i should buy the starter edition first then the standard ShB?
You NEED the starter edition to use Shadowbringers
Alternatively complete edition has everything
Either the Complete Edition or the Starter Edition will give you the 30 days of gametime.
In one package
so i cant just straight buying Shb Standard on top of my free trial?
No
i unlocked the syrcus tower
You OWN NOTHING
I see
You cant use dlc for a game you dont own
is that so?
Good, you'll need to run that, then do the last quest to unlock the last wing, and do that as well.
now that clears thing abit. fortunately i didnt buy ShB standard first. lmao
any news when they will go on sale?
ALL THX
i have my inventory full of forgotten fragments of many genres. what can I do about it?
or Starter > ShB standard?
Appraise them for lost actions
Those are how you get more actions
i really have no idea what you're talking about
They don't have a regular schedule for sales. The last one was around Christmas, so probably not for awhile.
what's actions?
will i get locked out if my char hit 60 on free trial?
The Starter is basically the same as the free trial, but without the social and gil restrictions.
No
where can I spend them?
okay thank you
You were taught this
Speak to a Resistance Appraiser, either in Gangnos or at one of the camps.
You can still play, but can't earn exp past 60 and can't access Stormblood content
i see. thank you people for ur time.
What is the fastest way to farm poetics tomes? Is there a way to farm them somewhere unsynced with a higher level character? Or some other fast way?
If you want
But if you're doing bojza content you should open and get a stock of actions
They're VERY STRONG
Use them to get lore
Or trade at the historain at base for lockboxes
!action Lost Slash
Delivers an attack with a potency of 800 to all enemies in a cone before you. When critical damage is dealt, potency is tripled.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
oh wow
and you use those in like instances bossfights?
i did the Red chocobo the other time
You can use it anywhere in Bojza
Or in Delerum
Or castrum
They also give you the Essenses which are permanent buffs until you swap jobs or leave the instance
Like Essense of the bloodsucker, which increases damage for tanks and make all attacks lifesteal
Lost actions make and break bojza
oh that's pretty cool
They're the same equilivant to Logos actions in eureka
how does leveling a job work in there? as of now im using a lvl80 but im curious
Fates/Ces give you xp
The mobs are for fragments, clusters (for magitek) and relic memories (for the first two steps)
Itâs the semi-replacement for PotD/HoH this time since weâre not getting a new deep dungeon this time. In other words it works only for jobs that are 71+.
Magitek only
ahh I see
what is construct 7?
huh
does drk double weave a lot?
In the opener yes
because Lost Slash is a weaponskill, does that mean it procs actions that modify the next weaponskill used (i.e. Life Surge)?
How many hours away is the 6.0 reveal?
about 31
Yes bran
Its a off global but also weapon skill
Reassemble, life surge, kaiten, inner release all work
nice

is it possible to dye the dancer starter gear?
No, but the Thavnairian version is dyable
Crafted, or buy from the MB
but it's gone after you use it 10 times right?
time to grind riders and gravekeepers I suppose
If only i could trade these 200 lost deaths for them...
lol
after which msq are you allowed to buy stuff on eulmore
Quest called Shadowbringers, end of 5.0 MSQ
Does this guy give DR savage?
Yes
You can also get it from the Aquapolis, or get the materials for it in Aquapolis and craft it
ty!
if I'm in the middle of a conversation of a quest, is there a way to abbandon the conversation?
not skip it, just abbandon, like when you start a duty during a conversation and after that have to start it again
is there any good use of allegories rn other than market boarding crafting mats?
pretty much gear for alts or crafting materials
is there even any point of getting crystarium gear rn?
don't want to buy exarchic
is there a channel here or another discord server that sets up parties for the delubrum reginae savage raid?
there's discord servers in #resources that run DR, look for ones that are eureka/bozja
thanks â¤ď¸
Max ilvl is 510?
530
Ahh okay
With 535 weapon
to clarify, the level 70 blu quest awarding Predatrice requires me to beat the capstone Carnivale fight again, right?
Yes
thought so. mkay.
The other weapon needs you to be it under 6:30 with no vulns
Do I need to buy all expansions + a monthly subscription to play the game?
After the free trial
Do you get XP from NG+ ?
no
You get nothing
damn
can i earn memories for the relic weapon without having an active quest for it?
no
So I have to by all titles to play after the trial?
Yes

Starter edition +Shadowbringers is everything
Alternatively complete edition has everything in one package
So Iâve briefly like looked at fflogs for my stats after someone looked at it. Iâm confused about parses. I know the term is about how the program reads the combat log but how do you get higher parses?
By doing more damage
Act parses the information to make a log with the numbers and people upload it
If you want better numbers, do more dps
Oh this is a lot better now haha I was just confused with these
is this 5.3?
Lower number the worst it is
Kupo bot has been timing events out prematurely.
Any insight on this issue?
So how can I have lower parse and be green in that instance
kupo bot issues should be in #discord-feedback
Thx
btw is the relic update the last one, or will there be another before expansion?
there will be another in 5.5x @weak sail
ok thanks
@faint flare is that better XD Iâm trying haha
You can plug your parse into xivanalysis to see some basic stuff to improve at @hazy flint
Il look at that
âGabriel mark III identification keyâ whatâs this?
ok
each job has only 1 optimal rotation , right? for each amount of enemies
correct
so isnt there any variation in different ways to use a job? isnt there any kind of customization or a way to use a job in the form u most like, unless u are less productive?
No trying to "pioneer" your own rotation typically results in some rotational errors
not in this game, no
or, as long as I do well the mechanics, even is extremes and savages, I can not be optimal 100% (so play the character how I like it) but even do well and avoid wipe?
anyone know if its alright to co-stream the letter from the producer live?
yes
tldr: Can I play how I like, not how its the only way to do it perfectly, and even so do well even in ex and savages just if i do well the mechanics?
No because in savage the dps checks matter so everyone should try to do their rotation to the utmost
@little swift how do I get to the link I have to copy to paste into that website
Especially as a dps, if you don't do damage and mechanics why are you even there
savages have pretty tight dps checks
if youre not playing at least somewhat optimally its gonna effect your clear
@hazy flint click a log and copy the web url
cool thank you!
and outside of the phases with dps check?, just when doing damage not in a do-or-wipe situation?
there is no rotational or build flexibility in this game. Each job has exactly one correct way to approach a given situation
I copy it and it says itâs not right
Savage has hard enrages at the end of the fight that wipe the party. So the whole fight is a DPS check
Theres no outside of phases with a dps check.
The whole fight is a check
If you don't do enough damage even with perfect mechanics
You wipe at the enrage
Even parts of a fight with downtime matter
go do the training dummy for e9s
if you cant clear that
then you need to change your playstyle
if you don't like the way a given job plays you don't tweak the job, you swap to a different one
I like the jobs, only I was thinking it was a little boring doing the same pattern of attacks all the time
and because someone here said some time ago mechanics are more important than perfect rotation in savages, and that no one does the rotation perfectly, I thought there was some space to "fail at 100% perfect rotation" and even get a clear with good mechanics
that's just how jobs are built in this game, the devs have intentionally sacrificed job flexibility in order to keep the jobs balanced against each other
yep, I get that, thanks for the clarification tho
There is space to mess up a rotation
To be specific its the Golden Gabriel mount
Only from Dr normal
But not space wholey do something cursed and wrong @wheat plume
^ you can mess up the rotation a bit but you can't alter it
there's a reason 'freestyle samurai' is an insult
Like mistakes happen but knowing how to recover and adjust matters in those fights

@little swift I made an account on fflogs and linked my character profile to it. How do I make reports? Granted im using the mobile phone haha
You have to upload your own log from act using fflogsuploader
Ah ok I see
But if you want to use xiva
Just copy and paste the log link
From any preexisting log
Ok
How do people on console type messages in game
Is it quite laborious
Just wondering cuz there was a duty where one guy just ignored everyone in the party
Some people are just that good with the virtual keyboard. Most use a usb keyboard though.
You can plugin a keyboard. There's also chatpad attachments for the controllers. I'm sure there's some people that are good with the on screen keyboard as well.
And people not talking doesn't necessarily correlate to their console of choice
Some people just don't type
Thats a very broad/baseless assumption to make snack
Well he was doing what we were saying so he could read message
But when we were asking him to acknowledge he didn't say anything
When I was on PS4 I just plugged in a keyboard and was fine
So I thought maybe typing for him was hard
Some just choose not to type
Not everyone has to use the chat function
Tis optional
Yea but it was never a requirement

Yeah let's. Uh. Drop this conversation
Were not going there
Its not really a question anymore
most people dont realize either that the PS companion app has a keyboard on it also, its more tedious to use it to type but does offer a solution when a usb keyboard isn't one.
I use a cheap nasty Bluetooth one haha
I wonder if playing on console generally hampers your skill compared to pc players. Im assuming it would be better inputs on pc
no
Or should I say keyboard
Oh thank god I can feel decent haha
i play on pc with a ps4 controller still
I just love how it plays
Itâs so comfy on a controller I could never change it outside of like mentioned above typing

Hi, could anyone point me to like a guide on BLU? I don't really understand what the class is. Like what do you do as a BLU, how do you get all the abilities, and what is it most useful or fun to use for.
!faq bluguide
should have enough stuff to get you started
though there was an update a couple days ago so it might not be fully caught up yet
Thanks so much!
So with blue mage, armor stats don't do anything?
best way to farm poetics?
The little help thing mentioned something about the stats not being used except intelligence
2nd link
thanks!
i mean they still are used
substats like critical hit and direct hit still impact your skills
What about stuff like spell speed?
Guess I read it wrong
That said you don't need a terribly high amount of spell speed
Stuck on the class mission that requires a duty mission and since you can't do it without an undersize party I need to find people manually...
party finder is pretty full of blue mage parties these days
Which quest? There are some that require masked carnival duties, but those are solo.
The dungeon ones required for job quests are unsyncable anyways
You'll learn the spell if you survive
Its guaranteed
In your duty finder window select the âď¸ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Oh then i can just solo it then
Base instinct is pretty useful for soloing
Optional spells are rng though in duties unsynced
Where do you get base instinct?
If they can't be synced then you don't have a choice then anyway right?
Ooh yea I know the area I'll have to try there, what level are they again?
Full parties bypass job restrictions thatd how party finder makes it work
Like lv23
Ok yea I can def get that one then.
So in order to guarantee getting optional spells you need to find a full party outside of the duty thing
Heya, would anyone know if there is any Linkshells that bring on free trial accounts? (Looking to do Lv50/60 content as a BLU group eventually)
Im not too sure where to look on here for that sort of thing, or if this discord is suited for such a request or not. (sorry in advance if not)
does someone have an up to date SAM rotation guide? all of the ones i see ignore ikishoten and rely on hagakure instead for early kenki
!faq sambestopener
Higanbana 1st and Midare 1st rotations both output exactly the same potency every 60 seconds so the difference between them comes down to the small difference in timing for your 3 burst phase Iaijutsu.
Higanbana 1st gets your DOT ticking sooner giving it a slight head start thus it is ahead by a few ticks of potency at any given point in a fight. For this reason, generally speaking, Bana 1st is preferred in most cases.
However, when optimising at a higher level you have to consider the encounters phase timings and/or your groups kill time as it relates to your Tsubame timing. Midare 1st is the better option if you can gain a Tsubame cast where you wouldn't have done so when doing Higanbana 1st.
oh hm that doesn't actually have the opener
for the openers specifically

Okay. My Fisher is level 44. What is the best spot in the game to level it up?
Ocean fishing when it's up
Well you probably got your mount in the form of an item so you go into your inventory and then use that item
and then you can go to the character menu
and go to "mount guide"
and find it there
Hey, can I put any gear on my retainer? If they're a ninja, can I give them tank gear?
I have done ocean fishing before. Any good places?
can I put any gear on my retainer?
Yes
If they're a ninja, can I give them tank gear?
No
Sorry, I mean the fishing expeditions from Limsa that run every 2 hours. They give a lot of exp.
Wineport I take it?
Limsa docks, next to the arcanist guild
i see the items for the mount
You also need to unlock it from a quest at the fisher guild if you haven't already
but in mount guide it does nothing @wintry chasm
Did you unlock your chocobo?
You have to keep doing main story and unlock your chocobo mount before you can use any mount
What quest is it
Yes
All the Fish in the Sea
But getting your chocobo mount in MSQ unlocks being able to use mounts at all
You cannot use mounts until that point in the story
Oh. I have not done that quest yet.
Where in Limsa Lominsa do I pick it up? I am outside the Arcanist's Guild
i have a chocobo
Okay so what error do you get?
i see the Carbuncle mount in my inv i think thats it
but it doesnt let me use it and i dont see it in mount guide
Also, if you're inside a city or other instanced area, you can't mount.
@faint flare which whistle?
You said you had a carbuncle mount item in your inventory?
You said you couldn't "use it"
But you're not really being specific
Is it giving you an error?
Is there just no "use" option?
And if there is no "use" option was is the name of the actual item?
Oh
Did you retrieve it from your mail?
Yes. Ocean Fishing is now unlocked
It doesn't just magically drop in your inventory
When did you buy it?
If you bought it like, a minute ago, it can just take a bit to come
it can take a few minutes to an hour for mogstation items to arrive
Account wide mounts notably take longer to process as well
they unlock at 10 with DR
so you only need to beat DR to start getting the coins needed for them
You only need 10
you also need to beat DR to unlock, so lvl 10
For relics
Lovely ty
you can't do Potd with Blu right?
Correct
figures
Any idea why my weapon disappeared from my back? Appears again when i âunsheatheâ
did you accidentally hit the "hide weapon" option on the character info panel?
the left most button

waz the difference between cancel service account and cancel subscription?
Cancel service account is like "delete my account"
how should I level from level 1 when I finish the storyline?
!faq altlvlguide
Hello, a bit new here, but what crafters and gatherers would people recommend lvling first? Or should they be done alongside each other? Also, is there a good place to stop in the msq to do so?
you should ideally level them all at the same time. not only do they share gear but all of the crafting classes are interdependent to some degree
Where can i find whm lvl 70 rotation?
Oh, ok thanks!
and you can level them at any time, however completing the msq first will make sure you have access to areas you need to gather from
Ah, that makes sense
glare > refresh aero 2 when it's down
heal reactively, use divine benison on cooldown on the tank
neither gathering nor crafting is required for msq progress
Glare is 72 no?
Then Stone IV until you get Glare
Ok
best place for a support to level from 71-80?
roulette then bozja
Hey if I bought a scenario skip for my character but not a job skip, is it basically levelling up from scratch without having to do the MSQ?
Im on PS4 now so have to start again as I already have the game on there
Bozjan Sothern front
Yes, which IMO is a waste of money
Since the story is the best experience for your first class
Yes.
But youâre making it harder to level up without the story
Since youâll have to spam a lot of dungeons to level up
what's the purpose of unlocking gemstone merchants
I prefer that than story, as I can choose what I want to do and itll be very long term
They sell various stuff like monster materials (meats, reagents, skins), orchestrion rolls, TT cards, Minions, and furniture
@obsidian patio i think the only reason I want to skip the story cause I heard the final 2 ARR dungeons drag with 40 minutes unskippable cutscenes
I dont want to do that
Its the reason I skipped it on PC
And also cause I wanted to pick and choose my content
you're gonna have to do msq no matter what you wanna do
such is FF14
@modest igloo yes and I wanted to buy the scenario skip
Hi everyone!
Started FF14 yesterday for the first time as a marauder.
Just been grinding marauders guild and MSQs to get to level 16 but just wondered what you'd all recommend I aim to get into first?
Really keen to do some dungeons asap and harder tasks that would require teaming with other players
MSQ and job quests for now
so what you've already been doing
Around what level should I do this to? And when will I be able to do dungeons etc?
MSQ is a constant thing all the way to the level cap.
to mention yourself you gotta use "em" right
you will be doing it until 80 to unlock most of the rest of the game, and dungeons start with the quest "its probably pirates"
Main story quests lead the way to all content. Almost all dungeons are unlocked as part of the main story.
Ah ok! Got it.
Will crack on with the same plan then
When can I begin to travel to more of the world?
Currently seem limited to my starter map
do story
msq
everything is story locked
Ok
its around msq level 20 that you leave your starter area iirc
:o
is it possible to go to eulmore if you decided to go to ahm araehng first/

I saw something online saying that the live letter was part of a 14 hour livestream, is the live letter all 14 hours?
mmmm I think I have a problem my friend and I made a free trial account first me with my email then he with yours on the same pc and now I can play but my friend cant i2501 error says any idea of how to fix it?
@raven cliff no, it is part of the 14 hours
@umbral hollow did you disable pop up/ad blockers, disable any vpns, try using a different browser, try using a phone/phone hotspot
i got a "duel" thingy i accepted and then it said "you were unable to join the following critical engagement: Aces High"
what?
only one person gets picked from the pool of eligible people
pretty sure most attacks are insta kill anyway so no?
Not really since you have to fight the boss alone and do enough damage
You need the right lost actions more anyways
did you download the trial launcher
yes on the first account but we are two and dont allow 2 it seems
you tried to log in to the trial launcher with his account and it shows that?
why are so many people doing hullbreaker isle?
i've rouletted into it 3 times this week
is it one of the duties required for bozja relics?
nope
yes
did you try disabling your firewall
yes even with other pc on the house can only play with the first account

Hi everyone! I'm wondering why the calamity salvager isn't showing me any of the level 70 items? Any help is appreciated!
Which ones are you looking for?
Job specific gear > DOM
Hey guys so Im lvl 80 and doing "Light of inspiration" for shadowbringers
I just started Eureka the other day
What quest do I need to do "Im a healer'
"complete any of the role quests at the wandering stairs in the crystarium"
it says
what is the BiS for weaver's secondary off-hand gear?
@raven cliff i mean,t since i decided to go to ahm, can i also go to eulmore before i complete the ahm storyline
Go to the Crystarium and do the quests from Giott
@floral willow Did you do your level 70 job quest?
@raven sage I'm pretty sure I did but maybe not. I'll look into it. ty
@strange coral The entire questline right?
What does it give me?
aka what am I looking for
Yes, the role quests are the ShB replacement for job quests, and at least one completed is required for the MSQ
whole questline
At least one questline I mean, not just one quest
I have the memory of a human
Aesthete
what is the new best practice for buffing up a final sting? (that wont take up way too many hotbar slots)
I wonder, would it be wise to spend my 4 e11s books on ester for the 530 tome weapon instead of waiting for more weeks for pants?
the hansaint spinning wheel has slightly better craftsmanship
830 compared to 806
i cant see all the buffs lol. my eyes are terrible
Aesthete is better when melded
read what he casts
Weapon is much bigger upgrade. If you dont think you're clearing 12 soon then get weapon
