It ticks every second iirc, it caps at 1600

#

Plus it continues to channel even when silenced due to moon flute

austere meadow
#

DoTs tick every second? Thought it was with GCD that's why spell speed helps, right?

faint flare
#

I believe moon flute openers end with a phantom flurry

#

Only some very special skills tick every second

obsidian patio
#

Yes, you exchange the yellow scrips for blue scrip tokens to get them from that vendor

faint flare
#

Flamethrower being the main one

austere meadow
#

Well if PF ticks every second and works through moon flute, hot dang that's good. Thanks for the tip.

wheat plume
faint flare
#

Example of one of the ongoing Moon flute openers

austere meadow
#

Gross. I love it. Thanks.

#

Why not whistle nightbloom? It's boosts it's PoT to nearly 3k.

faint flare
#

Its off global

#

Its not affected by Bristle/whistle

#

Bristle/whistle only affects globals

austere meadow
#

No way really? damn just checked and yeah.

faint flare
#

And whistle in this case is consumed on Triple trident

austere meadow
#

So mantra magic and tripple trident are the only ones that benefit from it.

faint flare
#

Whistle is physical only which is why you can Tingle after

#

Bristle is casted after trident for Mantra

austere meadow
#

Thanks for the help.

@wheat plume Scrip Exchange NPC

In the level 50 option

#

What time are "off hours" in Europe to create a character on a full world ?

open coral
#

The same as anywhere else in the world - sometime between 1-5am local time

jolly sky
#

Alright ty

gleaming finch
#

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.

open coral
#

If I'm correct, that option will automatically soft target the next enemy to hit you.

#

If you have no other target already selected.

gleaming finch
#

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?

open coral
#

If you're facing an enemy and hit an attack command, it should automatically target the enemy I think.

jade quartz
#

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.

open coral
#

(I honestly don't notice because I play on controller and just automatically hit R1 when my target dies)

gleaming finch
#

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

top right slot

open coral
#

I think it should be in your offhand

it's not a main hand tool

sick basin
#

do demolitions happen at the daily reset time with everything else?

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

They’re on their own invisible timer

sick basin
#

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

manic flare
#

demolition is ongoing, and occurs automatically if a person fails to enter their house for 45 days

open coral
#

Even after a house is demolished, the opening won't be immediate - it goes onto the normal housing timer after that.

sick basin
#

yes, I understand, but the question is at what time on that 45th day does the demolition actually happen

manic flare
#

if u previously had a plot and it was demolished, do you still have to go through the timer process?

open coral
#

Yes

slate arrow
#

yes

sick basin
#

I'm relocating so the lockout timer isn't an issue

obsidian patio
#

From my observation it’s exactly 45 days since they last entered

#

So it could be any time of day

sick basin
#

ah

#

ok, thank you

glad quail
#

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

jade quartz
#

Couple weeks

faint flare
#

Average 50-60 hours or so

open coral
#

Based on my current replay, about 50 hours in-game time.

jade quartz
#

At a casual rate

open coral
#

That's watching cutscenes, doing roulettes, and unlocking side content.

tidal yarrow
#

where is the "blue badger gate"?

glad quail
#

What about the exp boost you get from the preferred servers?

tidal yarrow
#

context: first quest of botanist my first hacket

faint flare
#

Doesn't change anything

#

new gridania, southeast

#

@tidal yarrow x14, y14 of new Gridania

sick basin
#

you can see place names if you zoom in the map

tidal yarrow
#

thank you

open coral
#

Character level is different from MSQ progression in this game.

#

oh ok

crystal bluff
#

bozja gold coins are only used in buying the new armor right?

faint flare
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

crystal bluff
#

Thx

celest shuttle
#

if you block someone does that also prevent them from sending you FC invites?

open coral
#

It should.

#

It won't stop someone else in their FC from sending you an invite though.

celest shuttle
#

how hard is it to start your own FC? I'm getting tired of the invite spam

remote lintel
#

not hard

open coral
#

You just need enough gil, and a few other people to sign a charter.

faint flare
#

Just need 3 othets to sign a thing to form it

minor wadi
remote lintel
#

i mean if you dont care about the little notification you could just start the fc process and never finish it

crystal bluff
#

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

remote lintel
#

and it prevents people from sending you invites

faint flare
#

!faq worldpick @minor wadi

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

Read here

minor wadi
#

ooo

#

appreciate it

celest shuttle
#

they really should just add an option to auto-reject FC invites

faint flare
#

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

open coral
#

I think if you set your status to "Busy" it auto-rejects both FC invites and whispers.

celest shuttle
#

yeah but I don't want to reject whispers

light gull
#

There's no re-run for this v-day event right?

open coral
#

Correct

light gull
#

Thanks

faint flare
#

There's a valentines event

#

Combined with little ladies day

light gull
#

Oh wait, shit wrong discord

#

Lol

open coral
#

Seasonal events are unique every year. There's always an event, but the storyline is different.

grizzled rampart
#

if i have 2 characters on the same world, what happens if i get the entry subscription?

twilit arch
#

you can only log in with the top most character

#

other one is effectively frozen until you switch back to standard

grizzled rampart
#

ohh ty!!

dire hawk
#

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.

open coral
#

Are you tapping R1 while holding R2 by accident, maybe?

#

That will automatically swap between bars that you have abilities on.

remote lintel
#

do you have the auto hotbar switch when you sheathe/unsheathe your weapon

agile laurel
#

for ivalice, ridorana wins for speed doesn't it?

#

in terms of farming

open coral
#

Yeah, Ridorana's the fastest.

agile laurel

grim jackal
#

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?

remote lintel
#

bozja is required to fully upgrade your weapon

grim jackal
#

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.

faint flare
#

It wasn't required for the first steps but its directly tied to bojza

grim jackal
#

So a waste of time, essentially.

faint flare
#

Relics are always a time sink

#

Its their sole purpose

grim jackal
#

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.

remote lintel
#

i mean you can solo a lot of bozja

faint flare
#

^

#

All of it excepy castrum

remote lintel
#

you can just do fates by yourself

grim jackal
#

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.

faint flare
#

Ranking is piss easy

remote lintel
#

i ranked up to 10 in like 3 days

faint flare
#

???

remote lintel
#

11 actually

jade quartz
#

It's really fast

faint flare
#

Mettle scales as you level

obsidian patio
#

Bozja is miles ahead an easier grind than eureka

jade quartz
#

it's pretty silly to make assumptions about how fast or difficult it will be without actually experiencing it.

faint flare
#

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

remote lintel
#

i dont have brain cells to clear a duel :(

faint flare
#

Just dont stand in bad

#

And bring the needed actions

#

And hope reraisers proc if you mess up

fading plover
#

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?

jade quartz
#

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.

fading plover
#

Ah ok, Makes sense

finally got to end of heavensward but im short ilevels, where's a good place to farm it

whole wasp
#

get the lvl 60 tome gear from idyllshire

its good enough to lvl 65-ish

buoyant haven

no, im short ilevels to do aetherochemical and complete

faint flare
#

You can still get it

buoyant haven
#

oh, sweet

faint flare
#

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?

#

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

rough anchor
#

keep in mind viera cant wear many hats and helmets

limber parcel
#

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.

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?

faint flare
#

Tanks want some speed

obsidian patio
#

Most combat classes prefer smoked chicken for crit/Det

#

Crafters want Crab Chili for CP

faint flare
#

Tank usually prefer around 2.4 ish

obsidian patio
#

Gatherers depends on what you need, for the most part

robust magnet
#

Ah okay. ty.

faint flare
#

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

ashen crater
#

Does anyone know how often the Gilgamesh server restriction comes off? It was open earlier today

twilit arch
#

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

ashen crater
cursive rose
#

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

glad quail
#

So how's the raid content in this game? It's one of the main things I'm looking forward to in the endgame

marble drift
#

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

glad quail
#

that's good to hear

#

are the trials any good too?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

raid tiers are added like every 6 months

#

with 24 man raids between

#

along with extreme trials

glad quail
#

👀

true vortex
#

What is the highest raid difficulty called

marble drift
#

Ultimate

boreal storm
#

Savage

remote lintel
#

its ultimate

marble drift
#

I suppose the Ultimate fights are "trials"

#

but. yeah its still Ultimate

jade quartz
#

Ultimate content is not labeled as a trial or a raid

boreal storm
#

I see ultimate fights as boss rushes

jade quartz
#

Ultimates are Ultimates.

marble drift
#

What is it labeled as then lyon?

jade quartz
#

Ultimate

marble drift
#

eh. when people said raid they just mean stuff you can fight

jade quartz
#

Ooh actually

#

Eorzean Database does categorise them as "Ultimate Raids" uwucarby

marble drift
#

woo!

remote lintel
true vortex
#

does end-game gear come from crafting 🤔

remote lintel
#

not the best gear

marble drift
#

but good starter stuff does

remote lintel
#

crafted gear is mostly for catch up except in like week 1 of a new raid tier

true vortex
#

I see, gotta save my money then

marble drift
#

but yeah. due to those week 1 raiders we know its possible to clear the tier in only that crafted stuff

remote lintel
#

best endgame gear comes from tomes and savage

marble drift
#

its not required to have to raid.

#

you can substitute with normal raid gear and tomes.

faint flare
#

It helps you catch up and skip the early gear grinding

true vortex
#

also is there a lfg channel where I can find some peeps to level with :c

remote lintel
#

not really

#

join novice network and/or a guild

marble drift
#

also leveling is a mostly solo affair

#

at least the first time

true vortex
#

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

marble drift
#

eh. I feel that task is secondary. are you having fun with your current class?

true vortex
#

Not really, kind of thinking of trying out samurai as I started with BLM, then switched Drk at 50

orchid shard
#

Any healer tips? I'm a new player and chose conjurer :)

marble drift
#

dead mobs don't hurt your team. stone em to death

marble drift
#

Also irhonn. If you're only a trial account you won't have samurai

true vortex
#

No I own all expansions

#

So sam will start as my BLM level?

marble drift
#

no Sam will be 50

#

as you can pick it up at 50

true vortex
#

Ah that makes it quite easy then, nice

worthy rain
#

There is a social option chat called "alliance", what are alliances?

marble drift
#

the 8 man parties that make up 1/3rd of an alliance raid

#

24 man big raids.

jade quartz
#

Alliance chat talks to all 24 members (three parties) in a 24-man raid

marble drift
#

3 parties, alliance chat talks to all others

jade quartz
#

or in PvP content

marble drift
#

silly Lyon. pvp doesn't exist in xiv :3

worthy rain
#

Ok a raid or pvp chat thanks 👍

leaden ginkgo
#

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

What more?

#

all classes are fun to people. just try whatever

Any of them works, just don’t suck

#

I remember playing red mage it wasnt fun.

stuck kayak
#

Everyone's opinions will be different

civic spoke
#

Just to make certain, when you level a scholar, you’re also leveling a summoner, correct?

stuck kayak
#

yes

#

They share job xp

marble drift
#

that is the only time that happens

civic spoke
#

Sweet Azeyma

#

I’m going to cheese the crap out of leveling my summoner, then

marble drift
#

yep. I did the same

stuck kayak
#

Yep, literally the only case in the game, which makes it really convenient if you want to do the role quests.

#

Queue healer in duty finder

#

marble drift
#

pretty much

south roost
#

What do moonstones do?

marble drift
#

crafting material, you can also trade them for some stuff in the level 60 anima weapon quest

robust magnet
#

Gathering is my lowest stat but idk if I need more. I'm at 2568/2681/794

obsidian patio
#

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.

robust magnet
#

I usually just gather crafting materials, for new gear and lower.
I don't touch Diadem.

obsidian patio
#

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

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.

obsidian patio
#

Job dependent. I think the healers like being around 2.42

crystal bluff
#

tanks like 2.4

#

some classes avoid sks like the plague
some want a very specific amount

obsidian patio
#

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

modest igloo
#

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

robust magnet
#

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.

remote lintel
#

2k is way too much

fast talon
#

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.

remote lintel
#

and if you dislike slow gcd then play ast

#

malefic cast time is 1.5s

forest sphinx
#

If I continue to play Shadowbringers MSQ with my max level BLM, will I receive tomestones instead of xp?

remote lintel
#

no

#

you get nothing

gusty pasture
#

Is it just me or are people in leveling roulette generally bad?

forest sphinx
#

Gotchya

robust magnet
fast talon
#

Well if they're in leveling they're presumably leveling alt jobs that they might not be used to yet.

robust magnet
#

So unless there is negative piety melds, idk if I can do anything bout that lol.

gusty pasture
#

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

fast talon
#

Unless theyre already 80 in that job then idk maybe they just dont feel like it lol

remote lintel
#

prob new or returning

gusty pasture
#

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

open coral
#

You don't.

fast talon
#

i mean even if you tell them i doubt theyd listen

forest sphinx
#

You just continue playing the game like a normal human

boreal storm
#

If I was a returner I’d at least spend 5-10 minutes just relearning my kit

remote lintel
#

if a tank doesnt know how to pull you can tell them

fast talon
#

Unfotunately that's too high a bar for most people lol

gusty pasture
#

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

open coral
#

There are limits to what you can say, basically only things that are observable without additional tools, like watching castbars and buffs.

gusty pasture
#

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

open coral
#

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.

remote lintel
#

if its leveling roulette it doesnt really matter

open coral
#

^

gusty pasture
#

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

remote lintel
#

and ACT in dungeons isnt a totally accurate measure of dps

forest sphinx
#

Then do a different queue I guess

open coral
#

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.

gusty pasture
#

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

open coral
#

Mostly you're just unlucky.

remote lintel
#

i also dont expect casual players in leveling roulette to completely fire off their rotations

fast talon
#

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.

faint flare
#

You're slowly pulling back the curtain and seeing the truth

forest sphinx
#

I really dont feel like you need super-optimal play for Lvling queue though. Like, that's not endgame content by any means

jade quartz
#

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

open coral
#

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.

gusty pasture
open coral
#

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?

remote lintel
#

no

open coral
#

No.

mint ferry
#

rad

open coral
#

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.

Ah, perfect!

and that costs prisms, right?

Yes. One prism per piece.

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

whole wasp
#

you unlock materia melding as part of lvl 20 msq

#

you talk to a materia melder NPC, they have hammer icon on minimap]

#

they slot materia into armor/weapon for you

warped nest
#

For dow/m, it matters at endgame if you want stat boost

whole wasp
#

just slot in critical hit into empty slots if you have no idea what to do

fresh wing
#

keep hearing that astrologian getting nerf 6.0?

warped nest
#

For doh/l, you can meld whenever to get stat boost

faint flare
#

We dont know what will happen to astro

warped nest
#

Astrologian is getting changed in 6.0

fresh wing
#

is it gonna be better or worst lol

crystal bluff
#

we dont know

faint flare
#

Other than its shifting to a more "pure" healer akin to white mage

crystal bluff
#

but all jobs will end up being balanced

faint flare
#

We have no idea

warped nest
#

The rough idea is, Astrologian will lean toward White Mage

faint flare
#

Everything is going to change

#

All jobs will

fresh wing
#

okay

warped nest
#

So we have WHM and AST as the pure healer, while SCH and SGE will be barrier healer

fresh wing
#

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?

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

faint flare

Each relic is seperate

If you want to start the ShB one, you just need to do the SB 24 man raids

crimson flume
#

alrighty

warped nest
#

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

#

I'd take one look at the SB one and just nope right out.

warped nest
#

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

crimson flume
#

Alright so I guess I will just unlock the ShB alliance raids and all to get started on the relic for it

faint flare
#

Stormblood raids

warped nest
#

ShB relic is a quest line set in Stormblood area

crimson flume
#

ah okay

#

I see it now

#

thanks guys

#

I am assuming this will take a bit to grind out to max

crystal bluff
#

a lot of grind

faint flare
#

First few steps are easy but then it takes abit longer

plush hound
#

First steps aren't bad. The latest one's gonna take some effort.

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

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?

hey guys

is there a best version of the game to get the trial?

marble drift
#

not really. get whatevers nice?

#

they're all the same

narrow venture
#

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...

marble drift
#

ARR = Base game

remote lintel
#

the complete edition includes the starter edition

#

thats why its called complete

manic flare
#

@narrow venture if you buy the complete edition you get everything

narrow venture
#

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.

manic flare
#

complete is base game (which is ARR) plus all the expansions

remote lintel
#

starter edition: a realm reborn + heavensward
shadowbringers: stormblood + shadowbringers
complete edition: all of the above

#

there you go

narrow venture
#

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

remote lintel
#

no

#

you need to buy your region license

twilit arch
#

mogstation just redirects you to the appropriate store front

remote lintel
#

if youre in EU you need to buy from the EU store

twilit arch
#

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

twilit arch
#

some of the locations might not be correct

#

as the nodes got shifted with 5.4

not your local time

fyi

yea, i got that

not server time

based on eorzea 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

remote lintel
#

are you looking at gamerescape

neon aspen
#

that i pasted that from

#

basically btw the point of all of this is i need dawnborne aethersand

boreal storm
#

Did you mine the regular nodes? Because it think that’s how it pops up

neon aspen
#

and when i looked it up it said go find a ephemeral node and desynth

#

i did, yes

twilit arch
#

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

with three channels that i could ask it in, I wasn't sure which one was best

i forgot about that

also yeah, none of the bright fire rock nodes are active right now

next steppe
#

thank you though, will ask there!

#

Theres an active node in sea of clouds

gusty pasture
#

Is this acceptable damage? that monk is beaten by DNC, the lowest personal DPS job, and Dark Knight, the lowest personal Tank DPS?

fast talon
#

25.6, 33.2 acc to teamcraft but i dont know if its up to date

neon aspen
#

are these nodes supposed to show up with luck of mountains

#

or is that a diff thing

twilit arch
#

that's lightning

fast talon
#

no

remote lintel
#

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

sorry @gusty pasture i was replying to @neon aspen

neon aspen
#

sorry, truth of mountains

gusty pasture
#

because if not then idk why a Tank would deal better single-target dps than a monk could

fast talon
#

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

remote lintel
#

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

fast talon
#

@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

neon aspen
#

yea, i just grabbed it

#

i get it now, that site is helpful

teamcraft has been my go-to for crafter/gatherer stuff as of late, pretty good

i got a lightning rock, now to desynth

fast talon
#

though they do get some coordinates wrong sometimes for regular mats oddly enough

#

well reduction but basically the same thing

twilit arch
#

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?

cool, got 1

#

need 1 more

they announce it days in advance

narrow venture
# twilit arch you don't buy the game from mogstation itself

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.

def not something you can do that with

narrow venture
# remote lintel

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

remote lintel
#

weird

#

i would just go on the EU store and buy it

#

and not do that

twilit arch
#

i mean if you can buy it thru mogstation

#

then you should be fine

#

as it should use the region of the account

remote lintel

they said it gave them problems with licensing before so idk

neon aspen
#

it said you could get an item as bot too but that was not true

narrow venture
#

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.

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%

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

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

whole wasp
#

20-ish sounds insane, is that pre-exp buff for trusts?

little swift
#

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

hidden lotus
#

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

Ugh that's right.. Y'shtola, Alisaie and goddamn Ryne

#

Making things unbalanced

little swift
#

yah

#

so 1 dps to fill in and then 1 tank to fill the difference

#

or multiple since you'll level faster than them

hidden lotus
#

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.

haughty flicker
#

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

slate arrow
#

you can't have the relic equipped

#

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?

haughty flicker
#

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 -_-

slate arrow
#

just get yourself some ironworks gear and look for a cheap stack of t1 to t4 materia on the marketboard

neon aspen
#

when youre crafting, and theres a thing where it says like control required: somenumber

slate arrow
#

that's the minimum control required to even attempt the craft

neon aspen
#

does that mean you will always fail if you dont meet that number?

whole wasp
#

you cant even start it

neon aspen
#

ok, it wont even let you

#

got it. i didnt try since i didnt want to burn these mats

#

thanks

haughty flicker
#

Don't forget, there's a trial synthesis button you can use to test crafts 🙂

grand light
#

@slate arrow i dont have the tomestones for that, anything cheaper?

#

also it doesnt look like ironworks gear has materia slots

slate arrow
#

not really, since that stuff generally requires a bit of grinding and most people usually have spare tomestones laying around

#

huh, it doesn't?

grand light
#

no

#

wait

#

i might be wrong

haughty flicker
#

can't you just buy a cheap piece of gear on marketboard?

grand light
#

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

slate arrow
#

eh, just get one piece of gear, meld > retrieve > meld > retrieve

haughty flicker
#

what do you mean combo?

grand light
#

nvm

slate arrow
#

you don't need a set, just a single meldable piece of gear

haughty flicker
#

was the gear not high enough ilvl?

slate arrow
#

probably

#

since to meld you need a crafter at the same equip level as the gear

grand light
#

if i try to meld anything i have in my armoury chest, none of the materia i have works with it

chilly crater
#

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 🥲

slate arrow
#

@chilly crater don't worry about it too hard, nobody should yell at you in alliance raids

grand light
#

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

slate arrow
#

@grand light 1-4 is meant mostly for ARR stuff, since the t4 materia can meld on anything minimum item level 70

chilly crater
slate arrow
#

5 was introduced in heavensward with a requirement of 160 or higher, 6 is stormblood with 290 or higher

haughty flicker
#

@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

slate arrow
#

@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

haughty flicker
#

It also says above your party list

little swift
#

its also right above your party list

chilly crater
slate arrow
#

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)

chilly crater
#

Ok that helps a lot. I’ll just have to do a few more to get used to the colors! Thank you guys ^.^

grand light
#

nothing makes sense but i just clicked on things until it worked so cool lol

slate arrow
#

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

grand light
#

i dont even understand what "t8 materia" means

#

im new

#

it's fine tho im sure i'll figure it out eventually

remote lintel
#

rank 8 materia

#

they have roman numerals on them

grand light
#

i just wanted the quest off my log

slate arrow
grand light
#

so it's fine

#

thanks :)

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

haughty flicker
#

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

whole wasp
#

generally, you run through all of the mobs you wanna tank, turn around so you face the party then smash them

haughty flicker
#

especially when the mobs are big and start circling around me

steep lotus
#

Is it possible to back up my ps4 character data settings and dowbload it onto pc?

faint flare
#

Yes at the character selection

whole wasp
#

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

dire prawn
#

Oh

whole wasp
#

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.

dire prawn
#

Oh is ROG in Limsa

#

Or what other classes besides MRD can I go pick up in Limsa

whole wasp
#

ROG MRD ACN in limsa

#

dire prawn
#

So ROG is here uwu

#

Down by Fisherman's Guild right

whole wasp
#

#

sisters of the edelweiss next to the fishing guild

fallow axle
#

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.

5.5

#

Raids are always major patches

alpine shadow
#

You only get like 450 tomes per week anyway

leaden ginkgo
alpine shadow
#

hunt trains?

#

doubt that gives enough

leaden ginkgo
#

20 mins until reset so duty finder is empty

leaden ginkgo
alpine shadow
#

you get 100 tomes for lvl80

#

and 60 tomes for expert

abstract vapor
#

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 🙁

alpine shadow
#

120 tomes for 50/60/70

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't have expert roulette unlocked yet

alpine shadow
leaden ginkgo
#

hunt trains is faster

#

and you get materia

alpine shadow
#

sure i guess. But trials and normal raids is more fun.

leaden ginkgo
#

it's more fun indeed

alpine shadow
#

You could queue with a class that is in need.

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

faint flare
#

You'll get a coin which you'll trade in for it

#

Just like how puppet works

#

You'll need new coin + puppet + manufactured coim for crypt upgrade items
