[gritty oracle]

Belly is standing in the gastric juice so you get mini, then you stand in purple so puppy eats you up. Then you destroy its stomach.

[gloomy ice]

Everyone else focuses on adds, more or less.

[gritty oracle]

Chains is when puppy slumps to the ground in pain, two people fetch the chains in the back and tie it to him

[remote lintel]

@forest lark yes

[rigid dust]

i honestly had no idea that gastric juices served a purpose other than being a damage-zone thing o.o tysm!!

[forest lark]

Ok, and why is there always 1 or 2 players that afk 24/7 in limsa

[remote lintel]

because they want to

[forest lark]

Every world has that one player...

[remote lintel]

like 50% of the people i see in limsa are afk

[forest lark]

I mean I don't understand xd

Why would u keep it on

If not aying

Playing

[spare bridge]

cuz thats just limsa being limsa

[forest lark]

For 24 hours a day

[rigid dust]

behemoth has a couple people that just self-destruct in limsa and then stay there, for forever. 😂

[remote lintel]

ask them

[forest lark]

Actually sometimes I see them still afk early in morning haha

Like they never moved

[spare bridge]

see thats just dedication

[forest lark]

And ten next day again

I was wondeeing like are they accumulating something or what

[remote lintel]

who knows

[forest lark]

Is there any benefit from being afk all day every day

[remote lintel]

not really

[forest lark]

Or they just promote their glams

Which is most likely the reason

[remote lintel]

probably

[forest lark]

I mean this one player on Chaos I've seen them last sunday lmao

I swear they havent moved since then

[remote lintel]

theres people like that everywhere

[forest lark]

Ohvwell 🤔

[gloomy mortar]

Why though?

[remote lintel]

who knows

[forest lark]

How can I make fem midlander pretty XD

I tried my best, its impossible

Highlander*

[gloomy mortar]

🤷‍♀️

[forest lark]

There isnt a single pretty face option 😩

They all look in their 40s

[plush hound]

To add, C is also referred to as Cerberus, indicating the tank designation. So C's tank would be the MT for the fight.

[forest lark]

No offense to any fellow highlanders

[gloomy mortar]

Are there any story characters that are Highlander?

[open rivet]

bad answer: the mid & highlander refer to their age :P

[remote lintel]

arenvald

[gloomy mortar]

Any female highlanders?

[remote lintel]

fordola

[forest lark]

Sorry for quality on ps anyways

Yikes lost the pic

Do you think this looks pretty, I am struggling to make decent looking elezen or highlander

[gloomy mortar]

Chin is off

[vernal urchin]

if you think it looks good then that's all that matters, honestly

[remote lintel]

you can look at other peoples elezen on websites like eorzea collection or something

and what eternal said

[forest lark]

Yeah thats what I do but there I can't dee what settings they use

See

I can only guess from the pics

And theyre all full of effects XD

[gloomy mortar]

Is Fordola popular?

[forest lark]

Honestly, I totally forgot aboit her

[robust crow]

[forest lark]

I just had to google her now

[gloomy mortar]

lol

[severe shoal]

Does it cost mettle to enter the new 48 man savage raid?

[remote lintel]

no

[gloomy mortar]

no

[forest lark]

No

But you need to amass at least 700k mettle I think

[minor dagger]

It'll eventually cost you all the mettle you have, if the streams are any indication.

[forest lark]

But I also heard you get kicked out of instance if u arent ressurected in times and many more things haha oh boi

[severe shoal]

Ahh gotcha lol

[forest lark]

Sounds chaotic

[severe shoal]

Indeed lol

[rigid narwhal]

the fights are 9~ minutes long

and you have 10 minutes

so longs you dont die right at the start of a fight, dont die in the duel room, you will near always get rezed

do i need to complete a certain portion of ARR msq to do my lvl 30 job quest?

[warped nest]

Yes

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[remote lintel]

you need to have done sylph management

[open kernel]

So how does the glow on The Relic tools work how do you get it to go over your whole crafting table

[remote lintel]

only the tool glows

[normal tusk]

I swear I've seen people with the whole thing glowing

[earnest wraith]

Hi, I have a question. Does choosing prefer world affect DoL / DoH or only exp for main class?

[remote lintel]

it affects doh/dol iirc

[earnest wraith]

Thanks

[worthy rain]

For a BLM, what is best?

Crítical hit (savage aim materia 2)
Or
Direct hit (heaven eye materia 2)
Or
Determination (savage might materia 2)

[remote lintel]

crit

but it doesnt matter when leveling

[worthy rain]

How these objects are used? Place them in the weapon?

[remote lintel]

yes as long as the gear has open slots

[worthy rain]

I also have a meal, how are they used? You eat them and all the effects are always?

There is no time effect

[jovial tide]

Did 4.5 include every quest up to just before the Syrcus Trench? Or was there some 'bridging' MSQ to connect 4.5 end-of-MSQ to syrcus trench in 5.0?

[worthy rain]

Only the exp bonus

[remote lintel]

it lasts for 30 minutes

[worthy rain]

All the effects?

Ok thanks 👍

[remote lintel]

yes

@jovial tide wym

the patch quests were the bridge to shadowbringers

#retired-patch-6-3-discussion

[red apex]

I see

[fallen niche]

do item's dyes get removed when you store them in the glamour dresser?

[robust crow]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/dfec99cb2767cfdaebe44eff697cb3eb6ad193bb

oh vinyl already responded

yeah

[fallen niche]

yeah as an answer to my question or to someone else's

[robust crow]

yes

if you store an item in the dresser it removes all enchantments, including dyes

and materia and glams

[fallen niche]

aight

[robust crow]

which is why it's highly advised against dyeing an item that isn't in the dresser

especially if your dye is expensive

[fallen niche]

aight

[abstract vapor]

does it matter what order I get my sen as SAM if I'm trying to do AoE attack?

[green grail]

no

[abstract vapor]

thanks wanted to make sure xD

[green grail]

but you need to do start single target combos for the buffs first i think

and you get speed first then damage up

but beyond that it doesnt matter much

[abstract vapor]

also how important is positional for dmg generally speaking

[little swift]

It matters no matter which melee you play

[faint flare]

Extremely important

[wintry sable]

I have yet to unlock blu log. But is it a matchmaking or just showing what rewards for completion each instance?

[crystal bluff]

it matters quite a bit
thankfully sam only has 2

[little swift]

Part of the skill expression

[faint flare]

Samurai loses the most dps for missing positionals

Due to DPS To kenki potency

Its like 66 potency per missed positional or something

[little swift]

It just shows what rewards you get on completion. On top of that you get weekly duties that give rewards for completing those ones specifically

[faint flare]

If kenki is purely spent on Shinten

[abstract vapor]

ooof 66 I no wounder why I was 3rd in dmg last A.raid

[faint flare]

Its higher lost if you spend the kenki on more efficient tools like Seigan

But yeah positionals are important

They make Melees a melee dps

[abstract vapor]

I'll start working on my position and take it seriously

[faint flare]

!faq positional

[zinc orbit]

Visual Example of Positionals

[crystal bluff]

Gekko is rear, Kasha is flank

[faint flare]

The Ass corner is the best place to hover around

Shorter movement

[abstract vapor]

that's a great pic

[warped nest]

Easy way to remember, Kasha is flower, you hold flower with your hands

Gekko is moon

[remote lintel]

if the target ring is a fully closed circle then all positionals will hit no matter where you are

[twilit arch]

just to correct, putting items into the glamour dresser does not remove dye, the armoire however does

you can dye an item before putting it in the dresser just fine and it will retain the dye

[warped nest]

Fully closed circle are common on super large bosses that don't even stand inside the arena

Or deep dungeon enemies

[faint flare]

Or places like Bojza/eureka

[fallen niche]

Ah, ok

[abstract vapor]

I know about the circle thingy

[gloomy mortar]

What is the significance of the ‘ass corner’?

[warped nest]

You can wiggle left and right

Just a little bit

And you will be able to fulfill rear or flank positional

Don't need to move into 3, 6, 9 o'clock perfectly for your positional to count

[little swift]

it works well too typically melees are assigned rear sided clock positions so you'll end up moving less overall for mechanics too

[gloomy mortar]

So the optimal place for monk is the corner?

[warped nest]

All melee wants to stay on the ass

Monk especially so

[forest lark]

Guys if I subscribe enough months for leonhart outfit, do I get it immediately or need to wait months to pass?

[faint flare]

Immediately if you bulk buy the months

It says when bulk buying "you'll receive X day rewards"

[gloomy mortar]

If you stand in the center of the circle, directly underneath the enemy, where are you hitting?

Flank or rear

[forest lark]

Oh alright I dont want to buy and then have to wait all 360? Or was it 320 days to pass

[warped nest]

Whatever the game thinks

It is almost impossible to stand perfect on the center

[forest lark]

I mean less than that cause I am already subbed for few months now

[warped nest]

So whatever that minute difference calculate to

Is whatever positional the game puts you in

[gloomy ice]

It will give it to you ahead of time if you buy a bunch in bulk. As long as the total time passes that threshold.

[forest lark]

Ahh ok thn

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there going to be a liveletter after the announcement?

[gloomy ice]

If you were doing a normal monthly sub, you would have to wait however.

[forest lark]

Thx

[warped nest]

Liveletter is for 5.5

[twilit arch]

yes, but the LL is about 5hrs or so after the announcement @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha! Thank you :D

[gloomy mortar]

Off tank get bonus for hitting the rear or no

[agile laurel]

nope

[twilit arch]

no

tanks dont have positionals

[warped nest]

They don't have positional skills

[agile laurel]

just the default best place to be without any other reason to be elsewhere is 'behind the boss'

[warped nest]

Positional bonus and effects are included in a handful of skills, most skills don't have them

It is not like games where positional are included naturally in damage calculation, like tactical RPG

[gloomy mortar]

Are trusts good for exp leveling or no? Dungeons too long?

[warped nest]

OK for DPS, but you can just do bozja

[little swift]

depends on how long your queue times are

if your queue time with real players and completion is longer than 30min on average

trusts will be faster

but usually in prime time dps queues are typically 5-10 minutes

with a 15-20minute completion window average as well

so its about the same on the longer side of things

bozja leveling works out to the same time as well

since you have to sign up for every CE and do every skirmish thats within timing/distance for you

also you can't start bozja at 70

but can start trusts/dungeons at 70

[gloomy mortar]

🍺

[dense hound]

Do Blue Mages even have a LB3? If not, does the bar just cap out at 2 with 8 party members?

[faint flare]

No

You generate LB

But can't use it

[dense hound]

That's sad.

I suppose asking "why not" is rather pointless, considering the answer is "Squeenix shenanigans"

[slate arrow]

You do have a "limit" break

since a fully buffed Final Sting does silly amounts of damage

you just happen to die after using it

[little swift]

Having access to at least 7 moon flute whistle off guard primal spam final stings

In 1 raid

Can be enough to take a boss down from 20%+

[plush hound]

BLU has a LB3. It's called the right spell combo. 😄

Hi, saw the twitch stream and really wanna get into the game

How far can I go as f2p player

And did the new patch have any new updates for f2p

Are there any discounts for a yearly membership?

I'm on pc if that helps

[strange coral]

To the end of Heavensward, the first expansion. But it's more of a trial than F2P. Some features, mostly social stuff, is disabled for trial players.

[remote lintel]

there is currently a sale on the game if you want to buy it and keep the code

[leaden ginkgo]

Damn, that sucks but understandable. Are there any other restrictions than the social stuff

Thanks Cerberus, I'm definitely gonna check that out. How long is the sale up for?

Thanks Aril and Cerberus, you've been great help. Last question, what would you both recommend. Buying the game now or waiting till I'm done with the trial content

[remote lintel]

play the trial and if you think you want the game then you can buy it on sale and hold onto the code until youre done with the trial

[leaden ginkgo]

So, how would one find trial players and you know kinda play along with them?

@obsidian patio Thank you

[obsidian patio]

you need a non-trial player to make a party

and for finding trial players you just have to ask

[civic spoke]

where can we repurchase antiquated gear?

[obsidian patio]

ARR/SB sets are bought from the calamity salvager

HW set needs to be rebought with Centurio Seals in Ishgard.

SHB sets are bought from Grenoldt in the Tempest

[civic spoke]

what about the weapons?

[warped nest]

ShB is the same

Uncertain about the rest

[obsidian patio]

ARR sets don't have a weapon directly tied to them, as they're the relic weapons

[civic spoke]

nvm, found it

[obsidian patio]

HW/SB sets same as getting the armor

[civic spoke]

[twilit arch]

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[worthy rain]

Thanks 👍

This rotation is "updated"?

I mean those patches rotations as "BLM 5._ rotation cuide"

[rugged flicker]

Could I get by wearing level 70 armor throughout doing the first Bozja front until I reach level 80 without people getting pissed at me?

[twilit arch]

blm's rotation hasn't changed since 5.0 afaik

[worthy rain]

Ok thanks 👍

[twilit arch]

yes, bozja syncs you to lvl 80/ii430

so as long as you've got something on, you're fine

[rugged flicker]

It doesn't show my armor stats as increased, not like it shows them decreased when they are synced down.

[twilit arch]

the only gear that has any significant effect in bozja, is the bozjan gear

lost actions are more important than gear, tbh

[narrow arch]

How do you buy weapons at Eulmore?

[worthy rain]

From where is this information about rotations and so?

(BLM rotation)

[faint flare]

You need the blades of antiquity from Eden raids and 1000 of their respective tomes to buy the rowena tokens

For weapons

[rugged flicker]

No I mean I don't see that the stats are scaled on the armor stat window.

[narrow arch]

Ah, so you can’t just use Tomes to buy them like armor?

[faint flare]

Not directly

[forest lark]

Is new relic better than non augemneted cryot weapon?

[faint flare]

You use the tomes to buy the tokens then trade the blade for the upgrade tomestone

[twilit arch]

no @forest lark

[faint flare]

If the tomestone has extremely bad substats. Otherwise no

[forest lark]

My healing feels awful with crpy than it did with relic somehow

[narrow arch]

Okay. I haven’t gotten to the eden raids yet. I ended up skipping all the Stormblood raids so I’m working through those now

[twilit arch]

regardless, everyone is sync'd to lvl 80 and ilvl 430. so again, as long as you're wearing something you are fine in bozja

[faint flare]

Weapon damage is the most important stat

[forest lark]

I'm struggling to he with crypt weapon

Heal

[sand grove]

Can you ride mounts as a new player before getting your chocobo?

[faint flare]

As weapon damage and increase mind increases healing

[twilit arch]

no

you need to unlock your chocobo before you can use any mount

[sand grove]

Gotcha. Ty

[forest lark]

Is emerqld extreme too hard? I see everyone getting em weapons, even sprouts and Im still here without it

[faint flare]

Its like the second easiest extreme this expansion

First being ruby

[crystal bluff]

is there a reason my chat always defaults back to party cjat after i say anything

[faint flare]

But that didn't even lift the bar of the ground

[forest lark]

Would I have a chance at it if I never did extreme contents for weapon like that?

[faint flare]

Yes

[crystal bluff]

@forest lark its not too hard, theres like 1 or 2 annoying mechanics but thats it

[uncut delta]

What is the fastest method leveling BLU now?

[faint flare]

Extremes are the next step up in content

[uncut delta]

60-70 I mean

[proud willow]

If you have never done EX, you may not be prepared for the step up in difficulty

[faint flare]

Get a lv80 to murder mobs in Khlosuia beach for you

[forest lark]

Btw how do u get weapon from em, is it a drop or totems?

[faint flare]

Drops

10 totems if yours didn't drop after 10 runs

[forest lark]

So I have to run it until i get whm weapon?

Ah alright

that would explain it

and it stays as an icon even after i get rid of the item?

[jade quartz]

nope

only while the item remains in your inventory.

[iron helm]

Will we get replicas of the new Law Order attributed weapons?

[remote lintel]

down the line

[twilit arch]

you can get replica of the first step

for law's order

[fringe talon]

Okay, why cant I just set "map" as an micon then? Since its an action?

[twilit arch]

second step will be made available with the next step

[fringe talon]

"./micon map"

[iron helm]

Ahh, so we'll get the glowing Law's Order replicas when the next relic step comes out in 5.5?

[twilit arch]

mhm

[iron helm]

Sweet, I still got like 30 hours of grinding to do before I even get the attributed version

I need to get the 2 sets of 18 memories now... gonna take awhile

[remote lintel]

@fringe talon "map" is not an action

[jade quartz]

there is no map action

[fringe talon]

The map button that I can pull up from "Actions & Traits", is there a way to set that to micon?

[remote lintel]

dont think so

[jade quartz]

I don't think it counts as a general action

try /micon map general

if that doesn't work, then I don't believe it's possible.

[fringe talon]

Ah, bummer

Thanks for the explanation anyway

[remote lintel]

where do we watch the live letter

[slate arrow]

[remote lintel]

i dont see it on youtube

Hey guys, I want to start FFXIV and was wandering if someone want to start with me?

theres an in game chat called the novice network that you can be invited to

[celest inlet]

Can someone tell me why is my paint exterior function locked plz?

[twilit arch]

what walls do you have in your exterior

cos not all walls can be dyed

[celest inlet]

medium shirogane castle walls

[twilit arch]

hrm

[celest inlet]

Cause I saw some other people having this wall with different color

Do I need to have the dyes in my inventory to unlock the function in the first place?

[haughty osprey]

yo y'all relic grinders, what crystal tower raid is the fastest for me to spam to get memories?

also, lemme just ask the obvious dumb question, can't unsync right?

[twilit arch]

ST

and yes, has to be done sync

[haughty osprey]

ok

[twilit arch]

You don't need dye in your inventory to be able to select it

[worthy basin]

syrcus/void ark/royal

[twilit arch]

i would say, try logging out and back in

maybe the game's just being a bit finicky

if that doesn't work, my only other thought is have you unlocked the dye function as a whole?

Gearing up by level

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[remote lintel]

gear up first

you need i510 to do all the savage raids

but EX is a good baby step into savage

[raven sage]

Yeah but if you put up a party finder people will typically join pretty quick

you might even find one up already

[silver vessel]

Found one for Striking Tree

Yeah seems pre common

[solid heron]

@remote lintel After 510, what's the move

[remote lintel]

get tome gear/do savage

also do the relic weapon if you want to

[ivory rover]

What is the best website to check the market? I've tried FFXIVMB but a lot of stuff on there is months out of date

[remote lintel]

do !market world item in #kupo-bot-spam

note that it wont be pinpoint accurate

[sharp spire]

I'm at lvl 46 and need to be lvl 49 for the next MSQ step, what can I do to level up besides waiting for dungeons

[ivory rover]

Fates and hunting log

[remote lintel]

beast tribes

[ivory rover]

Ty Cerb

[heady cobalt]

What's this for?

[remote lintel]

its your job gauge

at your level it just tells you whether your tank stance is on or off

you have it on

later on it will change into a gauge, tied to certain skills

[obsidian patio]

Universalis is the best at this point

But it still relies on players using their plug in to get the data

[heady cobalt]

@remote lintel Can I move the icon or turn it off?

[tardy hollow]

yo

do i need

DLC for astro?

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No, free trial/starter has heavensward

[tardy hollow]

what do i need? just the base game/trial

okay cool thank you

[remote lintel]

heavensward is part of the base game

[ivory rover]

Does the starter edition include all expansions besides shadowbringers?

[remote lintel]

no

only ARR and HW

[ivory rover]

so there's really no reason for the starter edition as you could just play the trial

[faint flare]

Only if trial limitations really annoy you

Plus you need starter edition to use Shadowbringers

[remote lintel]

i mean if you want to play the rest of the game you need to buy it

[ivory rover]

yeah I get that I was just wondering if friends were to play if there would be any benefit for starter over trial

[remote lintel]

you can join guilds, friend people, form parties, use party finder

[fringe talon]

@ivory rover having access to the market adds a lot to the game, for me personally, once I realized I would be continuing to play I figured it was worth it to upgrade and so far it has been.

[drifting current]

So I just got sucked back into XIV but I don't remember a thing plot wise

it is announced

its coming in the next expac iirc

Ishgard housing confirmed for 6.1

[gusty pasture]

So I've been sitting in bozja for a couple of hours now, 2 castrums have spawned and apparently no one is joining?

[gusty pasture]

How do I even manage to clear this for that fucking resistance weapon upgrade?

[remote lintel]

https://discord.gg/px8CZjxf

[slate arrow]

you should use a discord server to find people

the team have acknowledged that the current queueing and rewards system are pretty ass

[snow lynx]

• there announcement stuff going on rn, ppl probably watching that today... good luck, i know they are adding hot fixes to rewards for castrum :)

[gloomy ice]

We don't know yet. Just have a time frame for it.

[gusty pasture]

this is still difficult to find a group

takes hours for people to answer an LFG for castrum

either that or nobody bothers talking about it

I just typed LF castrum there just now

[remote lintel]

look in the recruiting channel

[gusty pasture]

oh wow so it takes FUCKING DAYS for a group

thanks Bozja

[wraith crater]

So my wife has only ever really play WoW, but is constantly jonesing for another hit of the holy priest healing experience.

Would FFXIV give her that healing rush? I really miss gaming together and would love to play something that takes us back to the Wrath of the Lich King.

[remote lintel]

healing in ff14 is like 85% dpsing

[west spruce]

healers dps 80% of the time

[wraith crater]

So not really

[remote lintel]

i mean

what do you mean holy priest healing experience

[wraith crater]

She loved topping off the green bars while avoiding standing in the crap.

[slate arrow]

Healing in FFXIV is really simple

[remote lintel]

there are definitely times when youll need to know what youre doing healing wise

[slate arrow]

the common raider mantra is "only the last one matters"

[remote lintel]

but like

you dont top people off in ff14

you only heal just what you need

dps matters

[wraith crater]

How does the dps compare to WoW? Sorry for the inane questions, but this really helps. Guild Wars 2 and Knights of the Old Republic failed to really draw her in

[willow valve]

(what's the go-to for this patch's relic step 2? Like Syrcus Tower is kind of the go-to for step 1)

[wraith crater]

And I'd be so thrilled if she took to FFXIV

[remote lintel]

ive never played any of those but i heard in WoW healers heal way more than dps

[west spruce]

maybe she will like the story? hmm

[wraith crater]

Oh yeah, in dungeons and raids they typically just heal unless the team is really good or well equipped

[remote lintel]

do you play ff14?

[wraith crater]

Nope

[remote lintel]

ah

[wraith crater]

Trying to figure out if I should invest or not

[remote lintel]

i mean the free trial lets you play the whole base game and first expansion

[wraith crater]

Oh geez

[remote lintel]

only problem is that neither of you will be able to create a party, you'll need a third person to make it for you

[wraith crater]

Ah

[remote lintel]

nor will you be able to friend each other

[wraith crater]

Fairly significant barriers, those

[remote lintel]

not impossible to play tho

most people will be glad to make a party for you if you just ask

[wraith crater]

Yeah, worth maybe trying a little and seeing if it takes.

Thanks, I didn't realize so much content was free to play

[remote lintel]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[remote lintel]

if you want to see the limitations

id say give it a whirl

[wraith crater]

Yeah, that all seems pretty generous still.

[remote lintel]

i should say that this is a final fantasy game first and an mmo second, so it is VERY story heavy and makes you do some solo instances

[sour oxide]

so with what was explained for the relic in the live letter... does that mean we only have to do the crystal tower 15 times and delubrum reginae 15 times for more relics?

[wraith crater]

Thanks @remote lintel

[obsidian patio]

@sour oxide yes, if you choose to do that method

[graceful vault]

Hi! I get the chocobo companion and I can summon him to fight with a Gysahl. My problem is that everytime I was not fighting, my chocobo was also with me and this was spending the summon time, so I withdraw him. Can I summon him again without using Gysahl if he still had time and was not death ?

Is there a way I can unsomon to save this summon time ?

[sand flame]

Is there a channel for discussing live letter?

[remote lintel]

does role quests give quest gear?

[west spruce]

what's the best way to lv blu from 60 to 70? and what spell to use?

[lost mango]

@plain python no but u can get the artifact gear for ur class from a dude in the last zone.

[plain python]

is it expensive?

[lost mango]

Nope

[plain python]

cool thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

If i don't do Hardcore raids, and just the usual matchmaking content, does my gear and stats really matter at lvl 80?

[remote lintel]

not really

i mean you have to meet the minimum requirement obv

[leaden ginkgo]

Cerberus, what should I be focusing on? I resubbed because I want to prep for the upcoming expansion. What should I do in the mean time?

[remote lintel]

msq, eden and nier raids

[red apex]

there's so many quests...what should i do once i max out my main and still have tons of MSQ?

just keep using main to finish quests or work on another job class?

[remote lintel]

get another class and do msq

[red apex]

i would need to level it to the same quest level tho right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[red apex]

ouch. that sounds like it'll take forever

unless i do like a dark knight

[remote lintel]

only ARR classes start at lvl 1

[red sail]

say, if i already have a class over 60, can i still play for free leveling alt classes ?

[remote lintel]

yes

wait

[red apex]

there are only 2 HW classes right?

[remote lintel]

over 60?

[red apex]

drk knight and red mage?

[remote lintel]

no

dark knight, machinist, astrologian

[red apex]

ohh okay

when does red mage come in?

stormblood?

[remote lintel]

stormblood

[red apex]

ah i see

does the starter pack come with stormblood?

or is it shadwobringer expansion

[remote lintel]

stormblood is part of shadowbringers

[red apex]

so I need to buy shadowbringer to play it? 😦

[remote lintel]

yes

[red apex]

dang. there's a sale on SE site but i got it from steam

[round juniper]

can i transfer to a server in a diff region?

for example aether in NA to elemental in JP

[remote lintel]

yes

[red apex]

i think you need to pay

[round juniper]

in saying that

which of the NA datacenters are the most populated

[remote lintel]

all of them

[slate arrow]

yes

[round juniper]

for queue times etc

oh

[remote lintel]

all of them

[red apex]

join the one with the exp boost

if you can

[round juniper]

cause im from aus

[slate arrow]

you can't get the road to 70 bonus on transferred characters

[round juniper]

and usually my playtime would have long queue times last i played

[naive magnet]

Some Japan Data Center has lots of Aussie.

[round juniper]

so im wondering if playing on JP would be better

[remote lintel]

did you enable the JP language in the duty finder settings

[round juniper]

just less english speakers

[red apex]

is the japan servers busy too?

[remote lintel]

yes

[naive magnet]

Very

[red apex]

i wonder if a lot of people there play

[remote lintel]

all data centers are populated

jp is the most hardcore

[red apex]

cool to see the game still busy XD

[naive magnet]

Jp DataCenter is easier to do Savage and stuff.

[red apex]

would be cool to play with Yoshi too

i wonder how often he plays

he must be a very busy guy being the creator of ff14

[remote lintel]

he is very busy

[slate arrow]

there's a reason why their private characters are private

[remote lintel]

sometimes he plays during live letters and stuff

hes a lalafell black mage

[red apex]

i heard

haha that's cool

he probably favors it more with events

[round juniper]

hm does anyone on here play on elemental? just to ask abt stuff there

[red apex]

lalafells are so cute and small

especially the tanks XD

[devout cargo]

I play on elemental

[round juniper]

o neat

what server? hows the eng speaking pop there

and like what times are the most active ig

[devout cargo]

I play on Unicorn but most of the english speaking people are on Tonberry

[round juniper]

so do you like

guest tonberry for it?

is it mostly raid/content focused?

[devout cargo]

[remote lintel]

english speakers are mostly on tonberry and kujata

[fresh wing]

hows the Exarchic 5 materia compare to 520 gear using tomestone

[round juniper]

ah

kujata preferred but non character creatable atm hm

[remote lintel]

tome gear is better

[analog gate]

it's peak time

[round juniper]

otherwise id probably just pick between midgard/famfrit/zalera in NA

[delicate field]

Can you cross play with the english game and japanese game?

[remote lintel]

you can play with japanese people yes?

[analog gate]

you need to enable the languages

[delicate field]

Can you cross play with console players?

[remote lintel]

yes

[analog gate]

eg if you disable japanese, you won't get matched with any japanese player

[delicate field]

Oh nice

[devout cargo]

but longer queues

apartments dont have an outdoor area

you will have access to teleporting to the entrance of your apartment building when you have it

thats the best you'll get

Hmm one more question

Is it possible to preview house/apartment interiors without actually possesing the items needed to change it?

Such as this

[empty parrot]

You can't preview interior you don't own, no

[round juniper]

is there a major diff between Aether/Primal/Crystal

Oh yee, I remember now @empty parrot

I used to use this site for that

https://en.ff14housing.com/itemview.php?id=ac8b6e026f0

[glass wave]

Quick question: when I first started my third person camera was zoomed out enough to see my whole character. Now the third person camera really hugs my back and my character takes up way too much of the screen. Is their anyway to zoom camera back out so my character is in full view as I much preferred this angle

[gloomy ice]

Page Up/Page Down, mouse wheel, or L1/LB + right stick to adjust camera zoom level.

[ruby plover]

Wait are waist items gone in 6.0?

[gloomy ice]

Yes. They're being removed completely.

[ruby plover]

Wow

So stats will fall?

[gloomy ice]

Stat squish is incoming with 6.0, yes.

[ruby plover]

Ooof

[worn scaffold]

[austere knot]

aaaaa

is there any that is more welcoming of new players in terms of fcs?

[glass wave]

Fantastic!

Sorted

[slate arrow]

Not really

[austere knot]

ah its ok

[gloomy ice]

Dried hi-ether for grade 3. Spirit extract for grade 4.

[worn scaffold]

Ty

[obsidian patio]

Please note that a stat squish does not necessarily mean we are becoming weaker

It’s done to avoid technical limits with how the engine handles large numbers

A number they gave an example of was the mob with the highest HP in the game, being at 440 million.

Enmity generation was also slowly creeping up on their engine limits.

[slate arrow]

If it kept going any longer we'd encounter an overflow error and suddenly tanks don't have aggro anymore :d

This isn't something they can simply replace with a different thing like a double or float it sounds like

It's just a hardcoded engine issue due to the hasty nature of making 2.0 from what they had

[obsidian patio]

With the example they gave how much damage a player does now VS when 6.0 hits, a Black Mage hitting 50k with Fire 4 will do around 10k instead.

And a slide that shows the reasons for it.

[slate arrow]

Doing some quick math based on preliminary calculations (not at all accurate in the slightest) applying the compression would mean that since the ironworks axe gives 50 strength and the shire axe gives ~200, the shire axe would instead only give 80 strength instead

But it's still the same item level and everything else is scaling down with it

So the time to kill and crit rate and stuff should still be the same ish

[little swift]

People shouldn't panic too much about unsyncing stuff too

As they should be scaling enemy stat values similarly

Would be a bit unreasonable if we lost all our hp/damage and they still hit just as hard

[slate arrow]

and also remember they're adjusting for the loss of the belt slot as well

[haughty hemlock]

I need your guys honest answer if there is still a time for someone who quit after first raid was released to get back into the ff14 this expansion and find a raid group(with a spot in it). Or has that ship already sailed? I always find it difficult to get into raiding groups if I had not started at the beggining of expansion

[slate arrow]

There's always party finders up

You don't have to find a static to raid

[little swift]

There are still groups up and about for recruiting as well

Some are at various points of progress for the tier

It's better for me to find a regular group. For learning, getting in sync with them etc.

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Up to you then.

[haughty hemlock]

also regular raid times where i can rely that it will happen 🙂

[little swift]

Thats your choice but its entirely possible to clear the tier without a static

Just check all the various recruitment channels

[haughty hemlock]

ok, thanks

[grizzled mural]

Do you need to be a member to get the choccobo mount

[slate arrow]

which one

[grizzled mural]

The one you get at level 30

[slate arrow]

there isn't one you get at 30

[grizzled mural]

Yeah it’s after you join a company

[slate arrow]

You get one after joining a Grand Company in the MSQ

then you need to trade in 200 seals for a company chocobo license

[grizzled mural]

Yeah do you need a membership to buy the thing that lets you get a license

[gloomy ice]

Subscription? No, trial players can get mounts. It's required to do so in fact. You do need to reach the point in the main quests where you have to pick a Grand Company however.

[grizzled mural]

Alright thanks

[swift pasture]

is there an item that lets you fly instantly without the need to find aether currents?

[graceful vault]

why should people use withdraw with his chocobo if he loses the remaining time of the summon?

[leaden ginkgo]

If you're doing a quest that's low level and you're high level.

[swift pasture]

stabling the chocobo too

[leaden ginkgo]

And you need to not kill something or w/e, your Chocobo will go after it and (if you're lazy and don't want to change the stance) can withdraw it.

[swift pasture]

you can't stable unless you withdraw

[gloomy ice]

ARR zones are the only ones to skip aether currents entirely. All others, you need to find currents. Chocobo/falcon porters can fly but only on preset paths, otherwise there’s no way to skip.

[leaden ginkgo]

And stabling, yes.

[swift pasture]

i see, thanks!

Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

how hard is alphascape v1 savage unsynced? Can I go in blind?

[obsidian patio]

The link in this faq shows where to find aether currents and the quests that give them

You can easily get a zone’s currents in well under an hour for the most part, not counting the need to do story to unlock quests that give currents or the MSQ itself that gives currents

[haughty hemlock]

what is bozja? I've just saw that you cnat do it anymore(because noone does it) and it somehow blocks your progression?

[obsidian patio]

The specific thing people are talking about is Castrum Lacus Litore, which is a mini instance in the Bozja Southern Front, which is similar to Eureka from Stormblood.

Bozja Southern Front, or BSF, is a large group instance where you complete the equivalent of fates to rank up, unlocking more of the Resistance Relic/Bozja story and allows greater access to Lost Actions, which are unique abilities only found there.

Castrum Lacus Litore, or CLL, is a special mini instance that spawns every hour or so in BSF. At minimum you usually need around 20 people to clear it, and can hold up to 48.

[haughty hemlock]

is this somehow needed/relevant for the raiding? Or is it side content?

[obsidian patio]

Completing CLL at least once is required to unlock Delubrum Reginae.

Most people didn’t initially do CLL under the assumption that it wasn’t needed to continue the Relic Weapon, since the weapon was initially separate from the bozja story

[haughty hemlock]

so you basically cant make your relic weapon? How much needed is it? Is it be all end all of weapons on the current patch?

[obsidian patio]

If you don’t do CLL then the highest you can make the weapon is i500

As for how the weapon stands currently, it’s i515 with customizable stats, along with having more stats than a regular i515 weapon would.

So for most jobs it competes with or slightly beats the i520 tomestone weapon, while the i530 upgraded tomestone weapon and Edenmorn weapons beat it.

[opaque pewter]

What skill is this for summoner?

[haughty hemlock]

the more i learn the more im incentivized to wait for expansions xd

[obsidian patio]

Sic. Used to change the current target the pet is attacking

[opaque pewter]

ah. Thanks Wynn

[obsidian patio]

Or used to make the pet attack before you use your first attack

Since you can press it while casting a spell

[opaque pewter]

Oh, okay, thanks for clarification, opener makes more sense now

[placid girder]

[leaden ginkgo]

[warped nest]

@leaden ginkgo it has nothing to do with your wxhb

That's caused by hotbar sharing

[obsidian patio]

Character config > hotbar settings > sharing

[warped nest]

Since you are using wxhb, it means you are on controller, you want to scroll down in the Sharing tab to make adjustments with the CrossHotbar

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhh ok fixsd it, ty!

[warped nest]

👌

[fervent silo]

is there an easy to track down an npc that moves a lot if you forgot the last quest you did?

[grim pivot]

Ehem, could someone help me? Im trying to resubscribe to the game, it says inactive and always refers me back to the page which lists all the payment options, but when I try to press "Cancel subscription" it says I have gametime left?

Though when I try to log in I obviously cant

eh... and now I was able to resubscribe for 1€??? and nothing happened still

[brave drift]

I wanted to share this link, what’s the best room for it? https://youtu.be/7-bkJ2ZoW6k

[placid girder]

assuming queue times dont matter should i duty roulette, or just do the highest level dungeon available to me, for low level content

[obsidian patio]

If it’s part of a job quest then the MSQ tracker will show the next quest in the chain

@brave drift #retired-patch-6-3-discussion

[brave drift]

Trial version?

[obsidian patio]

Trial doesn’t have subscription

[fervent silo]

I'm trying to find Hildibrand but I have no idea where he is

[obsidian patio]

What was the last quest that shows in your journal? It’s in the side stories section

[grim pivot]

Shadowbringers

I have a level 80 Paladin and finished the Sin Eater story

[obsidian patio]

@grim pivot can you screenshot your mogstation so it shows everything that’s in my example picture? Might be another issue

[grim pivot]

@obsidian patio

[gritty oracle]

Your subscription is inactive

[obsidian patio]

And you’re trying to launch the game with the native launcher and not steam?

[grim pivot]

@gritty oracle Well yes, thats why Im asking here. I cant resubscribe

Yes

I then go to Manage Subscriptions, Crysta-Payment, and when I want to choose my payment method and click Continue it just reloads the page

[obsidian patio]

The 1 euro charge is generally a check to make sure the money goes through and no errors happen

So you might just need to wait

[grim pivot]

[minor dagger]

Blame all the RMT scum.

[obsidian patio]

If the error is still around tomorrow I recommend sending a support ticket through the top menus

[grim pivot]

RMT?

[minor dagger]

They can make it very difficult to properly process stuff.

Real Money Trading -- gilsellers, etc.

[grim pivot]

ah

well, thanks for the help

[placid girder]

how do yall heal in this game, i'm only level 40 and i'm missing grid from my old WoW days lol

pain in the butt swapping targets from enemies to allies

[obsidian patio]

You can use the party menu for targeting people.

[agile laurel]

you can use F1-5 for targeting and so, too

[obsidian patio]

The enemy list UI can also be used for targeting active enemies

[agile laurel]

plus I find it's good to get into the habit of changing your target mid cast, because while you're doing filler dps spells you don't have much else to do

[obsidian patio]

So having those two near each other can help with fast target swapping

[agile laurel]

plus just tab targeting back to enemies usually doesn't go wrong

[placid girder]

can i change the "modifier key" crom ctrl to shift or something ctrl is a stretch for one hand and the number keys for me

[agile laurel]

for keybinding? unsure

for keybind modifiers iirc FF accepts ctrl shift

not sure about alt

I know I use shift modifiers, and ctrl modifier for the stuff I don't actually want to mispress like tank immunities

[placid girder]

jsut gotta find the keybind stuff then thanks

[exotic sorrel]

i used ctrl, shift and some alt
(sprint on alt tilde on hotbar, character window with alt C, and weapon sheathing on alt Z)

mount key is bound to ctrl shift M (on a hotbar)

[pale juniper]

Does anyone know what the music was in the background of the Sage reveal trailer? Like if it's an orchestrion roll already?

[warped nest]

6.0 soundtrack

[agile laurel]

yeah, best you'll find is high quality rips on yt

[pale juniper]

Ah okay, thanks Wasn't sure if it was already in the game or not

[high basalt]

[timid geyser]

Equip your job stone

[fervent silo]

[timid geyser]

That's why they're gone

[fervent silo]

[warped nest]

For future reference

You want to save your gear as gear set

And swap classes/Jobs by swapping gearset

[fervent silo]

[timid geyser]

yeah

yeah you lol

[warped nest]

Gearset remembers soulstone for you

[fervent silo]

yeah i had all that but i recenlty upgraded my pc and forgot to backup all that data

[timid geyser]

I put my gear sets on my hotbars because it's nice

[warped nest]

Ahhh, fair fair

[fervent silo]

all my gearsets, hotbars and keybinds are gone

big sad

[timid geyser]

Well, in doubt

Always check if you have your soulstone equiped

[fervent silo]

haha i will thanks 🙂

[timid geyser]

I think there's a way to save that ?

[fervent silo]

there is but i forgot to

smol brain ::\

[warped nest]

Unsure, but I can tell you that once they have a proper release date, you will be able to pre order

[green plover]

Are there any Indians playing of aether or any free company?

[warped nest]

So my best guess is May, that's when they will talk more about 6.0

[warped nest]

And they would need to talk about preorder bonuses, collector editions vanity items, etc first

Before they will open the flood gate

[dreamy tartan]

where can i buy lvl 70 stuff from poetics?

[west spruce]

kugane

[obsidian patio]

Rhalgr’s reach too, directly north of the aetheryte

[spark lava]

I have a question. Currently I’m with PC full edition, I wanna switch to my PS5/PS4 version but the version there stayed at heavensward.
Should I buy the shadowbringers psn version to upgrade and play now or wait for the new expansion which will include previous of expansion and at cheaper cost?

[obsidian patio]

It’ll be the same cost.

So it’s up to you if you think spending an extra $40 is better than waiting easily 7-9ish months for the expansion to come out.

[spark lava]

Cause now the psn store uk got discount at around 20eur
I was afraid that when the preorder endwalker opended up then it will cost me another full game price

[obsidian patio]

We won’t get preorder open until a concrete release date comes out most likely.

Also I must note that preordering the expansion means you still need to wait for it to come out to play the other expansions bundled with it.

[spark lava]

I understand. I thought the expansion include the previous expansion and can immediately access them. I was wrong at that

[slate arrow]

I mean they can't exactly give you something that isn't out yet

[spark lava]

True. It’s “preorder”. I was thinking that they’ll send out out license key to upgrade Mog account for pre expansion access first

[graceful vault]

I read that the limits for the triple triad decks are the following ones:
If you own less than 30 cards, your deck can contain four 1 star cards and one 1-5 stars card.
If you own between 30 and 59 cards, your deck can contain four 1-2 stars cards and one 1-5 stars card.
If you own more than 60 cards, your deck can contain four 1-3 stars cards and one 1-5 stars card

But I have less than 30 cards and my deck is all 3 stars + Terra.
Am I missing something?
Will I be able to place more 4-5 cards when I get more cards?

[kind burrow]

what does this do? XD

i dont want to play with fire 🤣

[alpine island]

anyone knows how do I obtain Mowen's Token (Phantasmagoria) now? Seems like Eulmore only sell Allegory only....

[frozen violet]

if I buy exarchic crafted gear off the mb is it bound on purchase or can I give it to my friend who just returned

[kind burrow]

try the Hunt vendors maybe?

[slate arrow]

Binding only happens if you slay or die with it equipped

[oak ice]

As long as you don't kill something with it equipped it won't be bound

[frozen violet]

cool ty ty
