DoTs tick every second? Thought it was with GCD that's why spell speed helps, right?
I believe moon flute openers end with a phantom flurry
Only some very special skills tick every second
Yes, you exchange the yellow scrips for blue scrip tokens to get them from that vendor
Flamethrower being the main one
Well if PF ticks every second and works through moon flute, hot dang that's good. Thanks for the tip.
thxs, u remember which npc exchanges them?
Gross. I love it. Thanks.
Why not whistle nightbloom? It's boosts it's PoT to nearly 3k.
Its off global
Its not affected by Bristle/whistle
Bristle/whistle only affects globals
No way really? damn just checked and yeah.
And whistle in this case is consumed on Triple trident
So mantra magic and tripple trident are the only ones that benefit from it.
Whistle is physical only which is why you can Tingle after
Bristle is casted after trident for Mantra
Thanks for the help.
What time are "off hours" in Europe to create a character on a full world ?
The same as anywhere else in the world - sometime between 1-5am local time
Alright ty
Stupid question maybe, but under Target options, there's an option for "Enable auto-target when no target specified." Not sure what this actually does? I'm finding, especially in groups, that my target dies really fast and I waste a few actions (especially during burn phase for MCH) before I realize and tab to a new target. Is there not a way for the game to auto-target a new enemy when you hit an attack command? That's what that option sounds like it's supposed to do but it does not.
If I'm correct, that option will automatically soft target the next enemy to hit you.
If you have no other target already selected.
Oh, well at least it does something. So I'm guessing there is no way to hit an attack button and have it execute on an enemy without manually tab targeting it?
If you're facing an enemy and hit an attack command, it should automatically target the enemy I think.
Other than what Aura just mentioned, no.
Er
the thing Aura mentioned before that.
It won't do it to an enemy you're facing.
(I honestly don't notice because I play on controller and just automatically hit R1 when my target dies)
Darn, that's really frustrating 😛 I guess I should just be happy my target died mid-burst and restart my 123 on the next target
I dont see the scythe in my armory chest
top right slot
I think it should be in your offhand

do demolitions happen at the daily reset time with everything else?
as in it's different for each player's house?
I'm just wondering if there's an ideal time to log on to check for new openings
demolition is ongoing, and occurs automatically if a person fails to enter their house for 45 days
Even after a house is demolished, the opening won't be immediate - it goes onto the normal housing timer after that.
yes, I understand, but the question is at what time on that 45th day does the demolition actually happen
if u previously had a plot and it was demolished, do you still have to go through the timer process?
Yes
yes
I'm relocating so the lockout timer isn't an issue
From my observation it’s exactly 45 days since they last entered
So it could be any time of day
so how long does arr take to complete? i'm worried i'll get burned out from the slow pacing of this part of the game
Couple weeks
Average 50-60 hours or so
Based on my current replay, about 50 hours in-game time.
At a casual rate
That's watching cutscenes, doing roulettes, and unlocking side content.
where is the "blue badger gate"?
What about the exp boost you get from the preferred servers?
context: first quest of botanist my first hacket
Doesn't change anything
new gridania, southeast
That has no impact on completing the MSQ.
@tidal yarrow x14, y14 of new Gridania
you can see place names if you zoom in the map
thank you
Character level is different from MSQ progression in this game.
oh ok
bozja gold coins are only used in buying the new armor right?
Yes
Yes.
Thx
if you block someone does that also prevent them from sending you FC invites?
how hard is it to start your own FC? I'm getting tired of the invite spam
not hard
You just need enough gil, and a few other people to sign a charter.
Just need 3 othets to sign a thing to form it
Threw this in the other channel as well, but had a follow up question. Is it even worth doing a preferred server?
Other than picking a preferred server, is there a look into what servers are known for what? Or would they all be roughly the same these days? I found https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bg78ct/a_comprehensive_server_guide/, but noticed it's pretty out of date.
i mean if you dont care about the little notification you could just start the fc process and never finish it
does potd ever have a guaranteed drop for the timeworn fragments? Because i really don't want to do a 50 minute dungeon 14 more times lol
and it prevents people from sending you invites
!faq worldpick @minor wadi
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Read here
they really should just add an option to auto-reject FC invites
Tldr there's no server stereotypes anymore really outside od noted worlds, and server choice itsepf doesn't matter due to everything being cross world
I think if you set your status to "Busy" it auto-rejects both FC invites and whispers.
yeah but I don't want to reject whispers
There's no re-run for this v-day event right?
Correct
Thanks
Seasonal events are unique every year. There's always an event, but the storyline is different.
if i have 2 characters on the same world, what happens if i get the entry subscription?
you can only log in with the top most character
other one is effectively frozen until you switch back to standard
ohh ty!!
so controller issue. Whenever I switch to a different hotbar in a run, the first time I use a skill it reverts back to my main hot bar, then i switch back and everythign runs normal as it should.
Are you tapping R1 while holding R2 by accident, maybe?
That will automatically swap between bars that you have abilities on.
do you have the auto hotbar switch when you sheathe/unsheathe your weapon
Yeah, Ridorana's the fastest.
right

!faq newplayertips

and 
are terrible for leveling
is the main story
i have a current main scenario and it says La Noscea and i have no idea how to get there
what does it say exactly
take the airship from the uldah airhsip landing
i assume you're on "the ul'dahn envoy"
it tells you in the quest objectives
How do I receive my mog station items?
Can someone send me the link to the leveling guide on Reddit? I’ve been looking and can’t find it.
!faq altlvlguide @magic wren
Thank you!
They'll show up in your mail eventually.
go to mailbox
What should I put my choco skills on :3
not tank
Healer, then Dps, then tank
No matter what you play, you are a better Dps/tank than your chocobo
ok
anyone down to help with whorleater? ive been searching for almost 15 minutes
Which version of it?
hard
You're on Crystal? I can help.
im in casual voice chat 2
So I feel like I'm missing something. I was told I could get and upgrade my Resistance Weapon without having to go into The Bozjan Southern Front. I've gotten my weapon, but can't progress further then Resistance is (Not) Futile. Am I not allowed to upgrade it any further without going into that grindy area of Bozjan?
bozja is required to fully upgrade your weapon
That's kinda dumb. Here I was hoping to finally get a fully powered Relic without having to go into another crappy Eureka clone. Oh well. Waste of my time yet again.
It wasn't required for the first steps but its directly tied to bojza
So a waste of time, essentially.
Yeah. They were, but they became a waste of time once they tied them to Eureka, and Eureka 2.0. Relics before, I could go all on my own and work away at it. Now I'm tied to other peoples progression, and I don't like that. I refused to do Eureka because of it's stupid grindy nature, and reliance of other players to get things done, and I'm avoiding Eureka 2.0 for the same reasons. Relics tied to things like that are just wastes of time for solo players.
i mean you can solo a lot of bozja
you can just do fates by yourself
And spend the next year trying to rank up. No thanks. I don't have that much time to waste on a weapon. At least other relics only took me a month total to get through. Now they'll take way longer because Eureka. Again, what a waste.
Ranking is piss easy
i ranked up to 10 in like 3 days
???
11 actually
It's really fast
Mettle scales as you level
Bozja is miles ahead an easier grind than eureka
it's pretty silly to make assumptions about how fast or difficult it will be without actually experiencing it.
And Northern areas give nore mettle
And if you're not fucking retarded (and not fucked by the game) and have some brain cells to clear a duel, thats basically a full level there
i dont have brain cells to clear a duel :(
Just dont stand in bad
And bring the needed actions
And hope reraisers proc if you mess up
how do i get different leves to appear? im trying to do "book of skyfire 1" but the leves i need aren't there do just wait for new ones?
assuming you're looking at the right levemete, sometimes you have to do a leve or two so the other one becomes available
levemetes can have more possible leves than there are slots to show them
so you gotta clear the queue, so to speak.
Ah ok, Makes sense
Anyone bored enough to carry my wife and I through Turn 2, 3 and 4 of Second Coil for the first time bonus in 5 minutes or so?

finally got to end of heavensward but im short ilevels, where's a good place to farm it
no, im short ilevels to do aetherochemical and complete
You can still get it
oh, sweet
You can buy shire the moment you get to Idyllshire
Heavensward is special with its tome vendor
Also just do your job quests
Free i200 gear
Job quests always gives you entry level gear for the level cap
How exactly do I get a mentor , it needs to be an irl person right?
Mentors are people with crowns next to their name

Just go to any populated city and you'll see several
alright thanks!
why's he say that they're definitely not ready? they're all lvl 40 and i'm missing just one small bit of one stat...

Wondering if someone can help me settle on a race, I understand there's a bit of preference on this question, but I'm torn between Male Miqo'te and Viera 🤔
I plan on mainly focusing on Dancer and a Tank class, though I'm undecided on the tank class at the moment
keep in mind viera cant wear many hats and helmets
Yeah I read about that, found a website
woops, entered too soon, found a website that shows the helmets they can wear
and there was quite a lack of visible appearances
That and i'd hate for me to pimp out a viera, and have some simp fall for me and start flirting 😄
Had that before in an MMO where a guy kept harassing me because he liked the way my character looked
Play whatever you feel most comfortable playing.
Not a fan of the Horns on Au'ra, i feel like they get in the way
I play Mi'qo because I like being a catgirl.
said no one ever in this game
Said me, so thanks for calling me "no one".
Depends on job
Relic is better cause more substats that you want in general
Usually
But other jobs may prefer emerald
What is the go to food this patch for Crafters/Gatherers, and Combat classes?
Tanks want some speed
Most combat classes prefer smoked chicken for crit/Det
Crafters want Crab Chili for CP
Tank usually prefer around 2.4 ish
Gatherers depends on what you need, for the most part
Ah okay. ty.
There's one more upgrade in 5.55
To be the best weapon of the expansion
Relics are just time sinks
Hardcore grinding them really isn't a good idea
It does compete with unaugmented tome for some jobs
Some job tome weapons aren't that good
White mages tome weapons are lower than relic and emerald
It happens occasionally
Does anyone know how often the Gilgamesh server restriction comes off? It was open earlier today
The temporary locks on character creation lifts depending on how many people are logged in
so best times to try and make a character are usually late at night/early morning
Thank you, it just closed on me lol
Question: Im currently chewing my way through Eureaka to get the relic weapon, but is it worth it to keep the Aenemos Crystals, or can I safely break them down?
If you're not going for the armor, or if you already have it, go ahead and break them down

So how's the raid content in this game? It's one of the main things I'm looking forward to in the endgame
solid
differs alot from other MMOs
as XIV plays to a script very heavily
but its challenging and fun so it should scratch your itch
yes
raid tiers are added like every 6 months
with 24 man raids between
along with extreme trials
👀
What is the highest raid difficulty called
Ultimate
Savage
its ultimate
Ultimate content is not labeled as a trial or a raid
I see ultimate fights as boss rushes
Ultimates are Ultimates.
What is it labeled as then lyon?
Ultimate
eh. when people said raid they just mean stuff you can fight
woo!

does end-game gear come from crafting 🤔
not the best gear
but good starter stuff does
crafted gear is mostly for catch up except in like week 1 of a new raid tier
I see, gotta save my money then
but yeah. due to those week 1 raiders we know its possible to clear the tier in only that crafted stuff
best endgame gear comes from tomes and savage
its not required to have to raid.
you can substitute with normal raid gear and tomes.
It helps you catch up and skip the early gear grinding
also is there a lfg channel where I can find some peeps to level with :c
ah I've done arr msq
working towards the rest, but I wanna get other jobs up so I can figure what I want to main, or something
eh. I feel that task is secondary. are you having fun with your current class?
Not really, kind of thinking of trying out samurai as I started with BLM, then switched Drk at 50
Any healer tips? I'm a new player and chose conjurer :)
always be casting. it doesnt have to be heals.
dead mobs don't hurt your team. stone em to death
DRK shifts down to 35 but samurai starts at the level you can pick it up at
Also irhonn. If you're only a trial account you won't have samurai
Ah that makes it quite easy then, nice
There is a social option chat called "alliance", what are alliances?
Alliance chat talks to all 24 members (three parties) in a 24-man raid
3 parties, alliance chat talks to all others
or in PvP content
silly Lyon. pvp doesn't exist in xiv :3
Ok a raid or pvp chat thanks 👍
Hi guys i wanna pick up ff14 again. What DPS class is the most fun atm ? which one can u recommend? for pve stuff
How can I entry a completed lowlevel instance alone?
Undersized party
Uncheck sync
What more?
Any of them works, just don’t suck
I remember playing red mage it wasnt fun.
Everyone's opinions will be different
Just to make certain, when you level a scholar, you’re also leveling a summoner, correct?
that is the only time that happens
yep. I did the same
Yep, literally the only case in the game, which makes it really convenient if you want to do the role quests.
pretty much
What do moonstones do?
crafting material, you can also trade them for some stuff in the level 60 anima weapon quest
welp I went into Balance for answers and now I have a headache so I'm back.
Which foods do Gatherers use, and do all combat classes use Smoked Chicken?
Gathering is my lowest stat but idk if I need more. I'm at 2568/2681/794
Not to cop out on an answer, but it really does depend on what on you’re gathering. If you just want GP then Crab Cakes or Peppered Popotoes will do.
I usually just gather crafting materials, for new gear and lower.
I don't touch Diadem.
yes
As for combat, if you need Skill Speed you take Chicken Fettucine. If you need Spell Speed you take Twilight Popotoe Salad or Zefir.
Golden Pineapple Juice if you need Piety
To circle back on gatherers; Mushroom Sauté for Gathering, and Arros Negre for Perception
@robust magnet
I see.
Do we have the "sweet spot" for sks sps listed anywhere?
iirc my healers are at 2.39 and tanks 2.40
for cd
or gcd, idk the correct term.
Job dependent. I think the healers like being around 2.42
tanks like 2.4
some classes avoid sks like the plague
some want a very specific amount
Gunbreaker can work at basically any GCD, but the rest of the tanks want somewhere around 2.36 to 2.42 depending on ping and comfort
for the steps in bozja, i dont need to have the weapon on me to get the materials right? just present them at the end
healers don't like being too low because mana costs right? I currently have 2k Piety which looks like 1400 more than Balance recommends lol.
I personally dislike slow gcd, something like 2.43 feels really slow for me.
2k is way too much
GCDs are job dependent and usually revolves around buff windows or weave timings. Interestingly enough most DPS want as little SkS as you can, at least based on the BiS of the Balance. Samurai is the only one that really wants specific values for it I think. Maybe Monk and Bard too but only a bit.
If I continue to play Shadowbringers MSQ with my max level BLM, will I receive tomestones instead of xp?
Is it just me or are people in leveling roulette generally bad?
Gotchya
it's just what my armor gives me 
Not the melds.
Well if they're in leveling they're presumably leveling alt jobs that they might not be used to yet.
So unless there is negative piety melds, idk if I can do anything bout that lol.
Tanks don't know how to pull properly and don't use AOE, Healers don't DPS, and DPS players are always beaten by my tank, says ACT
Actually scratch that. Even in SHB dungeons my fucking WAR out DPSes Black Mages and Summoners
Unless theyre already 80 in that job then idk maybe they just dont feel like it lol
prob new or returning
So how do I tell them they're damage is low and that they should do their rotations properly without getting banned for ACT?
or do I just straight up tolerate utter incompetence
You don't.
i mean even if you tell them i doubt theyd listen
You just continue playing the game like a normal human
If I was a returner I’d at least spend 5-10 minutes just relearning my kit
if a tank doesnt know how to pull you can tell them
Unfotunately that's too high a bar for most people lol
because I've been telling a lot of red mages to use veraero II and verthunder II while using their ogcds and they still double jolt adds
There are limits to what you can say, basically only things that are observable without additional tools, like watching castbars and buffs.
and Samurais who can't keep both buffs and higanbana on boss
Black mages who use mana-generation spells at 10k mana
the list goes on
Like, I've asked people to use specific spells because I didn't see the debuffs/dots on the boss or buffs on their nameplates. That sort of thing.
if its leveling roulette it doesnt really matter
^
I'm just, starting to get frustrated that dungeons are doable in about 18 minutes turn out to be 25-30 minute runs
all because of massive incompetence
and ACT in dungeons isnt a totally accurate measure of dps
Then do a different queue I guess
The only way around that, really, is to make a group of friends and run with them.
There's not much you can do about random people.
but it's still inexcusable for a tank to outdps both DPS players in all encounters
with all the "great community by the way" banter going around, it seems that casual player quality is so low. It's like people don't even look up how to do their rotation or play their job properly.
Either that, or I'm just extremely unlucky
Mostly you're just unlucky.
i also dont expect casual players in leveling roulette to completely fire off their rotations
Yeah gonna have to go with being unlucky. The worst player I've ever had was a SMN that only used Titan or a NIN that didnt trick attack.
You're slowly pulling back the curtain and seeing the truth
I really dont feel like you need super-optimal play for Lvling queue though. Like, that's not endgame content by any means
Just say "I've been watching your fighting, and the rate enemies are dying, and it's clear that you're underperforming."
Don't bring up numbers or act.
But you can still justify why you know
There's also an aspect of proximity to max level content - the closer to endgame the instance, the more likely that most of the players will be at least somewhat competent.
oh thanks I'm gonna macro this
That's not to say that all players in higher level instances are going to be great, but you're less likely to see complete facerollers in, say, the level 79 dungeon than you would in Stone Vigil.
Is there a currency/glamour prism cost to applying a glamour plate?
no
No.
rad
The cost is all front-end when you put the gear into the glamour dresser to make the plate in the first place.
After that it's free to apply.
Yes. One prism per piece.
Rad, thanks!

when does melding materia into armor matter. I have literally never done it since I started ARR last year. Currently ilevel 484
wondering if i should just sell all my materia because i've like 50 -100 of them
you unlock materia melding as part of lvl 20 
you talk to a materia melder NPC, they have hammer icon on minimap]
they slot materia into armor/weapon for you
For dow/m, it matters at endgame if you want stat boost
just slot in critical hit into empty slots if you have no idea what to do
keep hearing that astrologian getting nerf 6.0?
For doh/l, you can meld whenever to get stat boost
We dont know what will happen to astro
Astrologian is getting changed in 6.0
is it gonna be better or worst lol
we dont know
Other than its shifting to a more "pure" healer akin to white mage
but all jobs will end up being balanced
We have no idea
The rough idea is, Astrologian will lean toward White Mage
okay
So we have WHM and AST as the pure healer, while SCH and SGE will be barrier healer
just getting a little discourage lol cause keep hearing ppl say astrologian shield will be taken away and they will be useless
Quick question, i just finished the base questline of ARR, now in the transition quests, someone told me i had to do something called Crystal Tower before i can progress or something. How would I find that?
People are stupid
Noct AST is already mostly unused
^
its hardly a nerf or big change
Mor dhona

You are worrying for nothing
its part of the
now so you'll do it automatically
DW about it
Astro was mostly "pure" healer or Discount white mage already with the option to be discount scholar if required
I have a question, I have yet to start on my relic quests, do I have to start with the very first one and work my way up or is it possible to start with the Stormblood one and work my way up?
Even if they meesed up Astrologian on 6.0, they can tune it again in subsequent 6.X patches
Each relic is seperate
They are all separate
every expansions relic are unrelated except a small part from ARR to Hw
ah okay sweet
If you want to start the ShB one, you just need to do the SB 24 man raids
alrighty
Imagine needing to grind lvl 50, 60, 70, and 80 contents to get a lvl 80 weapon
And the ARR to HW transition is optional.
That will become obsolete by end of 2021
But my levelling gear
peak by Apr/May, obselete by july/auguest


I'd take one look at the SB one and just nope right out.
ARR relic can be used for the first step of HW relic, but it was just a bone thrown by the dev to the players who wasted spent the time grinding ARR relic
true
Alright so I guess I will just unlock the ShB alliance raids and all to get started on the relic for it
Stormblood raids
ShB relic is a quest line set in Stormblood area
ah okay
I see it now
thanks guys
I am assuming this will take a bit to grind out to max
a lot of grind
First few steps are easy but then it takes abit longer
First steps aren't bad. The latest one's gonna take some effort.
sweet
took me about 2 month but that was before echo
I don't mind the grind as long as it gives me something to do in return for a reward
Its easy enough to get it up to ilvl 510
After that is a fucking doozy tho
sweet
Is renting a chocobo worth it?
if you dont have one yes
Its cheap transport to a place
Just hit lvl 10
yes
Does being in a party increase your contribution for hunts? I joined a hunt once on a whim 'cause I was in the area but barely got anything out of it. It was in ShB.
Contribution is party wide so
Contribution is party wide but tagging is induvidual.
the amount of enmity a party can generate is gonna eclipse 1 peron's enmity generation
Hey hey.. just started playing BLU, and the required dungeon for learning Mind Blast is Tam-tara.. but it looks like I can't queue for Tam-Tara using a BLU? I get the "limited jobs can only join pre-formed parties" message. I've heard you can solo it, but how do you actually join/queue up for it?
Yeah I did attack. Was there from start to finish but only got like 4 tomes and nuts
HI so i was playing FFXIV on free trial on the non steam version and can i transfer it to steam ?
You can solo by turning on Undersized party, you'll go in as you are
thanks @faint flare
to solo it you'll need to be much higher level than it and possibly have some skills other than just the basic water jet
how do you create a single-person party? Party Finder?
in the duty finder window theres a little cogwheel at the top right
click that to get options and hit undersized party
What good is basic instinct + final sting
are faeries the only tribe in shb?
No
what's the other one? and where to start?
They're the only COMBAT beast tribe
ty
hey is there a recommended DoH/DoL retainer, i have a miner and it took ages to level up from 70-80. wondering if there is a recommended retainer for crafting and perhaps sellable items
@faint flare but you can only use basic instinct on your own
Annnnnnd?
Then what's the point of using final sting
But you get nothing from it
Drops???
if you kill the boss with the sting
Hello
you still win
although you need to fish for crits
I wanted to ask something here again regarding upgrades via Mogstation; as someone who plays on the 'free trial', and has it downloaded (not steam.), on the Mogstation, I have option of both Starter edition and Complete edition. Note I've literally only played free trial, yet whats confusing to me is the 'base game' i need before say expansions... like ARR, iirc.
I've done research, some people saying that the Complete does have ARR, but does it include the 'base game'? Note that I've tried the code things; did not work because of other issues but I did get a refund. I just thought I should ask again, before I attempt this a second time
I just need to know if I need Starter before Complete edition because I've seen lots of mixed answers.. that and if Mogstation upgrades auto go to your account correctly, since last mishaps were about my region, wrong codes, etc...
ARR = Base game
@narrow venture if you buy the complete edition you get everything
Okay. I've just seen people say 'oh you need beginners edition first etc' and its... quite confusing since complete says it has it.. but I guess i'd get what they mean since complete is mostly expansions, yeah?
Okay, I just really wanted to make sure you guys because gosh this is sorta confusing to me.
complete is base game (which is ARR) plus all the expansions
starter edition: a realm reborn + heavensward
shadowbringers: stormblood + shadowbringers
complete edition: all of the above
there you go
And; since it is mogstation directly, it goes straight to your account regardless of regions right? That was my main issues last times since I bought US codes but I played in EU. So it should... work fine?
Alrighty
mogstation just redirects you to the appropriate store front
if youre in EU you need to buy from the EU store
you don't buy the game from mogstation itself
Oooh, okay
i dont understand how ephemeral nodes work
im looking online and it says theyre availabe at certain times, but i go where it should be avail at the right time and i see nothing
are you looking at gamerescape
they are based on server time
not your local time
fyi
yea, i got that
not server time
eorzea time
in game time
for instance right noe
`miningThe Churning Mists (29,19)12:00 to 16:00EPHEMERAL
should have another 12 in game mins of this
im at this exact spot and i see just regular nodes
i have truth of mountains on
are you looking at gamerescape
this is ffxivclock.com
that i pasted that from
basically btw the point of all of this is i need dawnborne aethersand
Did you mine the regular nodes? Because it think that’s how it pops up
you don't need to mine near by nodes to make it appear, unless you've already hit once
and expended the empheral node
but like i said the locations have shifted a bit
so some of them may be off
When we getting hotfix for castrum?
for e12s p2 if you select "Final Phase" in practice phase selection can you skip to p2 immediately?
this might be really obvious to a lot of people, but who is the narrator for the Endwalker trailer? Like character-wise? feel free to spoiler tag your answer if you like, it sounds so familiar but I can't pin who it is.
ffxiv clock doesnt have it unfortunately
Im looking at teamcraft and it says the churning Mist eph node doesnt spawn for another hour
tbh that's more appropriate for #retired-patch-6-3-discussion
oh right
since its talking about EW
with three channels that i could ask it in, I wasn't sure which one was best
i forgot about that
Gonna go back to this topic since I finished Malikah in 24 minutes when it's doable in less than 20
also yeah, none of the bright fire rock nodes are active right now
thank you though, will ask there!
Theres an active node in sea of clouds
Is this acceptable damage? that monk is beaten by DNC, the lowest personal DPS job, and Dark Knight, the lowest personal Tank DPS?
25.6, 33.2 acc to teamcraft but i dont know if its up to date
that's lightning
no
dark knight is hardly the lowest pdps tank
luck of the mountains show legendary nodes, not eph nodes, you have to look for them manually

wait no luck of hte mountains is the hidden item skill
sorry @gusty pasture i was replying to @neon aspen
sorry, truth of mountains
But it should be higher than a monk right?
because if not then idk why a Tank would deal better single-target dps than a monk could
No, truth of the mountains is for legendary nodes. Eph nodes dont show up with it. But if you are near one and you use Lay of the Land it should say "an ephemereal node is xx yalms away"
They also have a slightly different icon than a normal gathering node
i have no idea how ACT would do in a dungeon because for most pulls people cant get their full opener off
and if its anything like in raids/trials youre all doing terrible damage
@neon aspen you need dawnborne right? acc to teamcraft, which i can't guarantee as accurate, there should be an eph node in the sea of clouds rn at (X: 25.6, Y: 33.2) and you want to gather bright lightning rock
but again i dont know how up to date this is
after you mine one eph node, use lay of the land and it should point you to the next one, and it'll be a standard 3 node rotation until the time is up (which is in about 3 mins)
2 mins actually
teamcraft has been my go-to for crafter/gatherer stuff as of late, pretty good
i got a lightning rock, now to desynth
though they do get some coordinates wrong sometimes for regular mats oddly enough
well reduction but basically the same thing
usually the locations are rough estimate of where they are
not exactly
since nodes spawn in a general area
I have a question. How we know when we get the hot fix? Is the date random and not always on Tuesday?
they announce it days in advance
I just checked in on buying it; it doesn't redirect me to any page. On my Mogstation, it has input of card info and doesn't seem to redirect me to any store. It seems you buy it directly through the Mogstation, my friend says they never had a redirection when buying it either? So I guess I'm confused about the license part still unless thats after confirming payment or whatever that it redirects.
Ok
i was looking for the plant you need to make alkahests in lakeland and the coords in teamcraft were like way off, way up in the north west when its supposed to be to the south east.
how tf are you supposed to find this stuff without guides lol
i dont remember if eph nodes are in the gathering log but i know legendary nodes are
they are
Stumble on em then eventually realize there’s a pattern
is it possible to change what chat channel your game defaults to when logging in?
it defaults to whatever you left it on
welp that was a lie
and it always gets set to NN
huh
guide said furymint for aetherial reduction
maybe its cause youre in NN
def not something you can do that with
@neon aspen from teamcraft assuming you still need dawnborne
I don't have those options as of yet since I haven't completed the purchase yet, I just have a Transfer to Regular service, then goes to this eventually. After that, card info, etc... which is why im confused about license part from the EU store if I'm using Mogstation
i mean if you can buy it thru mogstation
then you should be fine
as it should use the region of the account
they said it gave them problems with licensing before so idk
yep got all i can on this cycle
it said you could get an item as bot too but that was not true
Ah. My friend just used the Mogstation themselves and they had no problems... I might try it through the station, if something happens again.. guess I learn for a second time
I'm just scared of accidently buying the wrong codes again even knowing I'd be on EU store, smh.
Thanks ya'll
Seems youre right, Furymint. Weird if it wasn't the case but then again a lot of this is old stuff that most people don't really use anymore. So idk.
garlondtools shows these at the items that can be reduced for dawnborne
5.4's changes to the nodes messed with the databases/wikis a bit
so they're all kind of off
water mint coiuld be available in a few mins
seems Furymint is the only extra one that teamcraft has listed
yeah woudlnt be surprised if some wikis are off, 5.4 made some significant changes with gathering, especially eph nodes.
anyone know how to fix "the lobby server encountered an error" on ps4?
are new expansions $40 or 60 dollars?
Some channels you can do that with because they're functional in a default state. Party and Alliance, because you have to actually be in active groups to use them don't have that capability.
You need to do the quest "Absolutely Glamorous" to buy them from the vendor. You can also buy them on the market board
curious to find out, is there a recommended list of Delubrum Actions/Items for DPS?
Generic: Skirmisher...Font of Power/Magic + Banner of Noble ends/Sacrfice
If your job has a guaranteed crit buff like WAR/DRG/MCH, you can take Lost Slash and use your crit buff with that
Lost banish is very useful on the Phantom boss as its undead and boosts everyone's dps by 25%
how bout NIN? @faint flare
Just generic dps stuff
generally font of power / banner of noble ends
Can't really abuse anything
gotcha, np thanks 🙂
If you have no interest in Savage then i guess you can toss in Rend armour to stack with trick
no one knows how to fix this error?
gotcha
what is the consensus for best website to use as resource for this game? like wowhead
Depends
For like a wiki sort of thing, gamerescape is pretty good
For rotations and BiS and stuff like that, the balance server
was hoping there would be a popular one where everything had a ton of comments for each quest, item, etc lol
behemoth helm replica nobody cares about probably
Question
If I've already subbed but I'm in the free 30 days before the paid sub kicks in can I still use a friend's friend code
bet
How does Nidhogg's rage compare to Thordans Reign in difficulty? I just did Thordan's Reign via duty finder and it was blast :D, but I was not expecting the amp up in mechanics.
What are the odds of page 64 casting level 5 death
Around the same difficulty
Surprisingly you found the 1% of people who actually cleared in duty finder

is fient basically just a useless ability
not at all
its great to help reduce the damage taken your tank
in trash pulls and for boss tankbusters
really high
they always cast it
Both addle and feint are EXTREMELY advised mainly for savage content
Especially with high damage this tier is
Just throw it out
Free mitigation
Covers autos at least
Autos is the biggest damage source tanks take
i see
Do i have to get hit by level 5 death to learn it?
No
With every blue spell, you just have to see it happen, not be hit by it.
You dont need to be hit by any ability to learn it
Techically need to be hit by Cold fog in the burn as you need to fail the mechanic otherwise he casts something else
I was about to say that there is that new spell, but that's less "have to be hit" and more you cant dodge it.
Is there a looking for teamate page here?
So I just found out that Trusts can level up and.. that I have to run -shudders- Holminster Switch like 20 times or something. Is there an optimal job to run this as?
Why do you have to run this dungeon so many times?
to level the trusts
im not sure but DPS helps go faster while healer ensures you wont wipe
its about 6~ ish runs per 2 levels
20-ish sounds insane, is that pre-exp buff for trusts?
so its about 12 runs to get all trusts to the next dungeon
pre-nerf it was like double yah
you want typically want a dps job and a tank to help level
There's an achievement for getting all Trust NPCs to 80
I want it.
But apparently I have to really hate myself to get it.
since the trusts that need to be leveled are healer*2/ dps times 2
1 tank
sorry 3 dps
So maybe once Thancred's maxed out I can just go DRK for the rest
Ugh that's right.. Y'shtola, Alisaie and goddamn Ryne
Making things unbalanced
yah
so 1 dps to fill in and then 1 tank to fill the difference
or multiple since you'll level faster than them
I did Switch on my MCH (506) and it seemed like a slog. Doing it on my BLM (503) felt a bit faster, but I kept messing up because I don't have Umbral Soul at 71.
Nah, any jobs I'd do this as are already at 80
I suppose I could do this on my 74 SAM, but I don't particularly want to.
why can't I turn in For Want of a Memory relic quest? I have 20 of each yellow/blue/red and I have brd relic Brilliance equipped
you can't have the relic equipped
Ty
hey guys, i need to do the Melding Materia Muchly quest, which makes me melt 8 materia. Does anyone know a cheap/easy combo of clothing/materia to quickly meld?
That's really annoying that it's like that.. having to waste gil on a weapon you're literally only using to turn in the quest -_-
just get yourself some ironworks gear and look for a cheap stack of t1 to t4 materia on the marketboard
when youre crafting, and theres a thing where it says like control required: somenumber
that's the minimum control required to even attempt the craft
does that mean you will always fail if you dont meet that number?
you cant even start it
ok, it wont even let you
got it. i didnt try since i didnt want to burn these mats
thanks
Don't forget, there's a trial synthesis button you can use to test crafts 🙂
@slate arrow i dont have the tomestones for that, anything cheaper?
also it doesnt look like ironworks gear has materia slots
not really, since that stuff generally requires a bit of grinding and most people usually have spare tomestones laying around
huh, it doesn't?
can't you just buy a cheap piece of gear on marketboard?
thats kind of what im asking for
but im just looking for a suggestion of a combo
because when i tried to do it with what i had, none of my materia comboed with any of the gear i had
eh, just get one piece of gear, meld > retrieve > meld > retrieve
what do you mean combo?
nvm
you don't need a set, just a single meldable piece of gear
was the gear not high enough ilvl?
if i try to meld anything i have in my armoury chest, none of the materia i have works with it
Ayo. Did my first alliance raid today and I was super lost. Anyone have a good resource to learn about the waymarkers? I don’t want to be yelled at again 🥲
didnt know that, thanks
@chilly crater don't worry about it too hard, nobody should yell at you in alliance raids
so i am just asking for a combo of a piece of clothing with a certain materia, bc i cannot find this info online anywhere
@grand light 1-4 is meant mostly for ARR stuff, since the t4 materia can meld on anything minimum item level 70
That’s kind of you. I just want to be helpful as a tank, how do you know which group I should be in? Apparently there was A, B, C?
5 was introduced in heavensward with a requirement of 160 or higher, 6 is stormblood with 290 or higher
@grand light When you hover over materia, there's a requirement section that tells you what item level the gear needs to be to accept the materia
@chilly crater look at the alliance party UI, it shows the ones you're not in
so if you see Alliance A and Alliance C, you're in Alliance B
It also says above your party list
its also right above your party list
Ahh maybe I have the text too small, I didn’t see names on them. Are the A, B, C markers people lay out always the same colors?
waymarks are always the same color and letter
it's generally so that people stay in their parties
as non-targeted AoE heals can only affect the party you're in
(so if you're standing with A and you're in B, you won't be getting that Medica 2 regen)
Ok that helps a lot. I’ll just have to do a few more to get used to the colors! Thank you guys ^.^
nothing makes sense but i just clicked on things until it worked so cool lol
basically, you won't be melding a t8 materia onto an item level 130 piece of gear because that t8 materia has like, 4 times the stat of the piece of gear
i dont even understand what "t8 materia" means
im new
it's fine tho im sure i'll figure it out eventually
i just wanted the quest off my log
If Overpower is my only AoE ability do I try to position myself to where I can hit 3+ enemies with it while tanking? Cause it's a cone AoE
Ideally you'd want to be hitting all of the mobs you're tanking
I move around a lot more as a warrior than as gunbreaker or paladin because of that cone, lol
generally, you run through all of the mobs you wanna tank, turn around so you face the party then smash them
especially when the mobs are big and start circling around me
Is it possible to back up my ps4 character data settings and dowbload it onto pc?
Yes at the character selection
do this and the mobs should be roughly grouped up in a bunch behind you then you turn and overpower
if a ranged mob is shooting you, drag all the mobs to the ranged mob and smash all of them there
there is some tricksy method where you break the ranged mobs Line Of Sight and they will chase you causing them to move but thats advanced tanking.
I dont know if this is the right place to ask but I'm having this issue with playing at 200%(WQHD) setting for higher UI resolution but is there any way to lower the size of some of the words. As you can see down below, free company is in huge letters and it's overlapping the chat. Is there a specific setting for that.

also cast this all the time and people will love you
!action trick attack
Delivers an attack with a potency of 350.
500 when executed from a target's rear.
Additional Effect: Increases target's damage taken by 5%
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Hidden.
Positional
Why did I pick a melee then ;_;
lol melees without positionals is kinda boring
probably true
Is it worth casting that off cooldown if I can't get to an enemy's rear for whatever reason
yes just cast
For the 5% dmg boost
like true northx3
they got both this one and true north
so
yup
its not hard
its like one of the easiest melees
also ninja only has 2 positionals
a shield

basically a shield yup
ninja has good survivability for a melee
coz you gotta do some quest
oh
Is there anything else I have to do for my relic weapon after the crystal tower memories?
Why
In the fuck
Did my class quest spawn a zone inside a FATE a higher level than I am
Game
pls

i believe in you
what's the name of Standard Touch for use in macros?
I'm already Lv 4 doing a Lv 1 ROG quest 
oh i realized my mistake, nvm
Why do I have to talk to this dude every time I want to enter the Rogue's Guild
because
top secret
wait til you become a ninja and you still have to talk to another guy to enter the hq
Its not real
for future reference, im pretty sure you can use the auto-translate name in your macro to ensure there is no spelling mistake
haha
each class has its own
hunting log is per class yes
Which of the three Crystal tower instances is best for loathsome farming?
syrcus tower

hello, I wanna cap tomestones before reset, I know it's kiinda late, but how can I do it?
do people spam a dungeon or something in the duty finder?
either do roulettes then spam the 80 dungeon roulette
or if you are lucky, hop on a hunt train

You should be able to get tomes fast enough if doing roulettes daily. Or, doing bozja fates.
You only get like 450 tomes per week anyway
I usually run trains, but I have been busy and couldn't make it today for the last 100 tomes
20 mins until reset so duty finder is empty
it's fast, it gives 10 tomes per kill, you get 10 kills per train, that's like 100 tomes in like 30mins max
I saw a bad ass DRK in a raid and he told me he got his crazy stuff from relics and the cool stuff coming from them ... I'm trying to start working on it from where do begin / learn more about it 👀 couldn't ask them cause they left 🙁
120 tomes for 50/60/70
I don't have expert roulette unlocked yet
sure i guess. But trials and normal raids is more fun.
it's more fun indeed
You could queue with a class that is in need.
I usually leave like 50 or 100 tomes so I cap with those
yeah I tried, but the expected wait time just goes up
I'll just cap tomorrow after reset
100 tomes isn't much anyway
already behind on raids, trying to catch up with my friends
do you know if the new nier raid will give the tokens for augmented crystarium gear?
