like a stack marker
Of these, 3 start at level 30, 2 start at level 50, 2 start at lv60 and the rest start at level 1
like stack, earthshaker, 'stand with someone else with this marker', etc
tethers, the gaze thingy etc
Ok, well, Im gonna read the wikia for Titan and Ramuh to understand hahaha
Oo so you can max all classes and jobs
once you recognise most of those then you can at least give many instances of the marker being reused a good attempt
Oh yeah
if its normal you can just faceroll it tbh lol its not that hard
Is it useful to do that?
Current level cap is 80
The message that pop ups above primal's name?
Or are there any benefits like a cape or a special item?
no, that's just the name of the cast
usually recurring mechanic markers are what's projected above players
If you level cap all combat jobs there's a special mount
This is my favorite guide for "what indicators do what"
the marker tells you what you need to do to avoid/mitigate
There's also special titles for hitting the level caps on certain groupings, like all casters etc
a lot of mechanic markers imho are learned by seeing it once or twice and associating it with a certain mechanic
One of the titles is "God of War" if you're a Sony fan
like instead of 'stack on other people with this marker to resolve', i just think 'oh, gilgamesh tiny song'
Do you get it next to your name or smth
how useful are the revelations tomestones? compared to the allegory ones
Yup
About 30 item levels
What about a cape with some perks
what's the gear you buy with revelations called?
Damn but you will basically be able to do anything in the game right
Yeah
@manic flare cryptlurker
Cryptlurkers
and allegory?
How do you get xp in skills do you get like combat xp every cast or every dungeon
crystarium
Crystarium
Ok, a symbol that appears above the members name, never saw it, gonna check the guide then
For example when Ramuh stopped some members, in the chat they said: collect the orbs
But, when or how did they know to do that?
No skills exp, just job exp
2 specific jobs share exp but they're an exception to the rule
Experience
I meant job exp
that would just be experience
How do you get more experience
doing dungeons, quests, etc
Quests, fighting in dungeons etc
you get it from a lot of places
Crafting/gathering for those jobs
Are the most legendary items in this game trade able or they’re rare and you have to have high crafting levels to craft them
Not tradeable
Since you're coming from Runescape, its worth clarifying - at no point is it ever optimal to go out and just mindlessly grind overworld mobs - except for Blue Mage and its the exception to most every rule in this game so i wouldnt think too much on that/
only crafted gear are tradeable and crafted armor is never the best at endgame
The best combat gear is usually locked behind raids
So theres no such thing as efficiency and fastest route to maxing certain jobs
there is for alt jobs
Yeah i read that
but its not grinding mobs
Not specific jobs, no. But there are guides on how to level alt jobs.
But its the same advice for all of htem
The fastest way to level outright is just doing main scenario quests
Rather than "this job should do this, that job should do that"
For other jobs it's pretty much the highest level dungeon you currently have access to
Are there many players with maxed jobs or people mostly just dont do it because its not really essential
Starting in shadowbringers there's a fairly tangible benefit to having a max level job in each 'class'
Tank, melee dps, caster, healer
role
A class is a job but a job isnt a class?
technically
Sorry role
And that's only in arr because arr is fucking awkward
like lancer is the class, dragoon is the job
expansion jobs dont have prereq classes tho
Alright thanks guys im hella buying this game as soon as it goes on another sale it has jobs pvming pvping
!faq freetrial
Ill download it tomorrow
Oh yeah that
i wouldnt get your hopes up about pvp
Yeah i know but still the important thing is it has all the concepts with no micro transat
Transactions
Yea
yeah thats against ToS
You can't buy gil from squenix but people do sell it unfortunately
As a dps, in a trial, you have to wipe out the adds right? I mean, I for example targetted Leviathan's tail and one sahagan, not all the entire trial Just on Leviathan
take out the sahagin first
For leviathan the tail and head share a health pool
Yes, the adss
But focus the adds
and you target the head or tail based on what kind of dmg you do
The head and tail deflect different types of damage
One deflects melee the other magic iirc
Can't remember the specifics
Yeah but i dont mind it because i hate it when the company itself is selling the currency , it mostly means they’re just trying to milk whales but this is different since this can get you vabned
B
Yes, it is an example, Ramuh was crazy, I took out the adds, but almost died...
They sell glamour sets, mounts and minions
head reflects physical ranged, tail reflects magic damage
You can also pay to skip story content and level certain jobs
technically melee can do head but its not safe
also wont hit positionals on head either so
So you can pay to skip hundreds of hours of grinding?
Yeah
iirc msq skip doesn't level your jobs, and job skip doesn't level your msq
so it's not a be-all-end-all
also don't do it or you're cursed for life 🙂
anyone on Coeurl server?
ff14 has an extremely major amount of focus into its story
it is a final fantasy game after all
Are there any limiting systems in this game or if I play 24/7 I can earn XP all day everyday etc?
you can just play as long as you want yeah
As a player who only buys expansions and subs can you get on with playing it and getting to endgame content without paying an extra penny on mtx?
yes
by mtx do you mean the cash shop?
the cash shop is entirely optional stuff
there is no meaningful skip mtx that is punishing to not
mostly glamour
my man got scarred by korean f2p mmos
cash shop stuff is mostly just cosmetics
theres nothing on there that will give you an advantage
not even the skips
Fast passing a job while honestly make you a liability since you won't have learned how to use your job
to say you get an 'advantage' from skipping is wildly off
Closest P2W thing is extra retainers for more inventory storage, room for selling more items on the marketboard, and greater ability to farm for items from ventures
Lmao
And even then the 2 free retainers the game gives you is more than enough for most people.
Cant you buy that with ingame currency?
You get 2 retainers with 175 inventory slots each that can sell up to 20 items each on the market board to other players
If you want more than that you'll have to add an extra buck or two to your sub
Does this affect your gameplay
no
No
it only gives the hardcore crafters more room to sell more stuff
Youre limited to an extra 350 slots for storage that you honestly shouldn't need, and you can sell less shit on the market board to make gil
retainers are essentially banks
and little 'send me off for a time and i bring back An Item Of Some Kind'
(that is otherwise obtainable)
which is very important
Anyone of you guys never paid for mounts / cosmetics and shit like this and got it endgame without having a more difficult experience than an oil pribce
Prince*
the cash shop cosmetics arent obtainable in game
I started in June, already at endgame
I was really enjoying myself so I bought the special edition version of shadowbringers
That's about the most 'extra' I've spent
ive bought too many cosmetics and fantasias
cash shop cosmetics are either exclusive to cash shop, or from dated seasonal events
Ok guys thanks guess ill just try the game and see if its my type
prices also tend to reflect any practical gain like the fucking choco carriage holy shit
inb4 the 8 man whale is 40$
It's probably gonna be really fucking expensive, yes
wouldn't surprise me


Ey there, may this is not a long question, but people could not help at all with this, maybe someone here can?
How important is to get best gear (50:130,60:270, and so and so, ironworks gear), if when you join an instance, for example Titan Hard, your character level and also the items are gonna be downleveled?
So, how does RDM's Embolden work, exactly?
That one 4-seater is like $36 iirc
Can't imagine how it's not like $60+
The whale I mean
exactly as it seems. don't put too much thought into it, use it in the opener and then use it on cooldown on availability
!skill embolden
@halcyon stag boosts your dmg and party members' dmg and gets weaker over time
@tawny quest That whale mount is a 2 seater
its not important to have the best ilvl gear for that content. basically if you meet min ilvl to queue, you're fine. having higher ilvl just means it'll probably be a easier to complete @worthy rain
10% increase to all in range for 4s, then 8% for 4s, 6% for 4s...
Oh huh
I think Xita is talking about the 8-person Lunar Whale mount.
yes
Yeah I am
the 4 seater is the chocobo carriage
Well... anymore
Wait, so the effect itself gets weaker? Not the party dmg?
Half are limited times returning.
Half are unique
it says "both effects"
Shit, I need to read more carefully...
Your magic dmg increase and the party physical dmg increase
Thanks
Why easier? It is all downleveled(?)
(Example): Titan Hard, character level 50
Your ilevel: 130
Character level, 56
So, sync
What then is all the top gear for? It is downleveled...
Q: ilvl 530 blue gears can only be acquire from Savage runs (books)
Ish
because titan hard was intended to be done at ilv 57
The current tome gear ilvl 520 and can be augmented to 53
and 130 is significantly higher ilvl, therefore more stats/more dmg
Your ilvl 130 gear is at full strength in level 50 content that doesn’t have an upper item level sync.
Aug to 530 needs savage ?
@viscid fossil yes
The augment can currently only be gotten through savage content at present but will also be buyable from materials from the alliance raid in 5.5
aw thanks
titan hard also doesn't have a hard ilvl sync to it, so you'll get the full effect of 130 gear (since when sync'd with no hard ilvl, your gear is put at the highest ilvl for that content)
I just don't have a static group
you can pug
And you can also try find one
In other words, you are telling me that items are not sync?
they do
There a European Raiding discord where people recruit, probably are other ones for other continents
you get synced to 130 max because thats the max ilvl of ARR
And @obsidian patio
can definitely PF although it takes a while, but yeah eventually you can upgrade armor/acc once a week with 5.5 nier raid, then later on you can upgrade with nuts from hunts in 5.55 or so maybe even later, and at some point you can upgrade weapon too(5.55+ too)
but not all instance have a hard ilvl sync, aka a specific item level they will sync down to
so if the instance is a lvl 50 content that only has a level sync, not an ilvl sync, then you will be sync'd down to the highest item level for that content
which is 130
for ARR
Level 60 content would be i270, 70 would be 400, and 80 content once Endwalker comes out would be 530
Example of a "hard ilvl sync" is like Amdapor Keep. Which syncs you gear down to i110
is Delibrum Reginae loot locked in any way?
Nope
No
cool
It's just fucking looooong
its not that long
so you would not have the full stats of 130, but it would still be pretty easy because the dungeon's min ilvl is 45 and the stat jump between 45 and 110 is pretty significant
there isn't really much loot so to say, mostly just coins and a really low chance at the hair(and mount I think?)
took about as long as an average alliance raid tbh
well judge armor isn't going to buy itself for me 😛
I'm on... urg.... 4th run lvl60 raid
this isn't rants
I have to put music with YouTube breakout overlay video while running it. xD
which earring for bard
whichever one has more dex
they al dont have dex xd
the one that gives stats you can use, so dex for BRD
aiming or take the cash
then they don't matter
Then either throw a dart at one, or take the gil
you'll get dex in the next quest
ok thanks
well usually they just alternate
im not high enough level i am so sad
And eventually they just give you a coffer
Memory of the Dying did not drop for me after the 4th run. Void Ark ? 😮
In other words, you can character level sync, but not ítem one? I though I saw the items in yellow... Then I thought something like (for what then all this top gear? I could have saved the Tomes)
no
There are TWO syncs
the duty tells you the level sync
if there is a yellow square that means theres a specific item level sync
if theres no yellow square you get synced to the max ilvl of the expac if youre above it
if a dungeon has both, it is noted in the duty finder information
I mean the top level gear of each expansion is also better than the buyable/dungeon gear at lv x4/x5 of the next expansion
with this "Item Level Sync: X"
GUYS ANYONE KNOW IF WE GET TJE TIMEWRON PIECE WITH ANOTHER CLASS?
Doing Delubrum I mean
if it doesn't have the tag "item level sync:" then it will sync to the highest item level for that level range
Sorry
You can get time worn as any class
It doesn't matter
The quest just has to be active
none of the current relic stuff requires you to be on a specific class, just need the quest
how do i check with what date i registered for ff14, because ff14 won't accept my ID or my password for some reason
are you sure youre inputting your MOG STATION login and NOT the square enix store login
Checking the earliest achievement on the lodestone can give you a rough idea
they are different accounts
Oh, right
Good afternoon!
Is there a way to scale down the size of these names?
When a lot of NPCs it becomes kind of a mess.
Random question, have played before up to mid-Stormblood and want to return soon-ish. I tried coming back before and got burned because I couldn't play. Is anyone aware if the issue stemming from certain AMD GPU chipsets that made the game unplayable (crashes immediately at launch) ever got fixed?
Name size is Character Config, Display Name Settings, General for Size options. But it starts at standard, and only scales up
Yeah UI scaling doesn't affect it, and Standard is the smallest.
That's a shame. It's quite large to me.
You could always turn them off
@slim fossil #technology-discussion might be a better place to ask
looks fine to me and there's not that many places with crowded NPCs(that have names)
It's probably to help people see through crowds, since you can click on names to interact with NPCs. But yeah, you'll probably have to turn them off.
I could, but then I can't see the names.
I do hide player names though
True. Thanks @remote lintel
if you hide the names I assume you can see quest markers though
No, I just want smaller names. Guess not. Thanks for the help though!
so shouldn't matter too much
how does one get their chocobo to fight?
this game is quite frustrating to start out on
Use gysahl greens to get it to come out for half an hour
do the quest "My Feisty Chocobo" in south shroud, and then use gysahl greens to summon it
had to disable firewall and restart the client about a dozen times to get it to install. Now at character creation I'm getting this
did you disable vpns?
I dont use a vpn
ask in #technology-discussion
https://www.fflogs.com/reports/kT43dnbyv8HrMt19/#fight=8&type=damage-done
How come this isn't showing up on fflogs if I go to the trials I (Extreme) section?
is it because it's a non standard party? (1 healer)
This is a noob question so sorry in advance:
Who dictates what mob to focus in dungeons? Anyone specific or is everyone supposed to know beforehand who to attack when?
Ok but what about for a mini boss with two mobs?
For the most part you'll aoe everything. You'll learn to focus something if there's a mob with an annoying spell or some crazy heal etc. But those are few and far between. You only need to focus burn if there is a mechanic that requires it etc.
Ahh ok
I think the "example" part of that during the MSQ is Ifrit with his nail
That's good to know. I just felt confused I dont play a lot of mmos
For the most part, if you ask about something in a dungeon group, they'll answer ya
No one answered me lol
I think everyone was new as well. They all had the sprouts
Ah, yeah. Then no one would know 😛
It's all good. I just figure as a tank I should try and know this stuff
Potencies are set up so that 3+ mobs is the break point to just spam aoe

Does all jobs have the aoe at low levels? Like 35 and under?
No
I know I have mine on warrior but I dunno who else gets theres
Ah ok
All tanks get an aoe early enough on
As the tank, so long as you're gathering up the mobs and holding aoe aggro, you're golden for the vast majority of content
as far as target order I mean
Alright cool. I find tank a lot easier to learn then the healer and dps so far. It helps that you get into dungeons instantly haha
If you're super running into issues, just say "First time tanking this" at the start of a run. Provided you aren't all sprouts, someone will usually give a heads up if there's some crazy out there mechanic etc
Lol I just copy paste "noobie tank sorry in advance" every dungeon
how do I get to back to out front of eulmore?
Walk down the stairs, use the crystal to port outside, or use the elevator attendant
how do I get there without flying from crystarium
Teleport to still tide?
They should have a quest marker on their heads
thanks
I have full Level 60 Augmented Tacklekeep Gear, yet a lot of spearfishing fish get away, will this get better with Level 70 gear or is it just a balancing act to make spearfishing not 9999% more enjoyable than normal fishing?
Splendors vender in eulmore still closed. Finished shadow bringers
How do i spend these revelations?
The large row of traders in the north of eulmore?
Spear fishing has level 61+ fish, which the tackle keep isn’t best for.
Also, are you trying to catch the first “burst” of bubbles immediately?
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlock Idyllshire’s house of splendors and the quest should unlock/appear
You mean the small "whoosh" when you start gathering?
Yes
How do i buy crystarium weapons?
Nope, I wait until it has a permanent bubble
@rigid wolf with allegory tomes and the token
You need to do the corresponding Eden Bossfight 7 times and then trade for a tomestone to buy the weapon
not 7
Where do i buy?
What is the name of tomb exchange person?
Just checked ... Tigerskin (Level 65) Gathering gear gives a miniscule amount of more gathering ... doesn't look like going for anything but Level 70 gear is really worthwhile (as when I am Level 68 for the next tier I just need two levels for the better upgrade)
Well yeah
It's better to go for the next tier directly
Make sure to pick the highest ilv gear too
Leader of my former fc is threatening me of reporting me for harassement.
The fc was created 1 month ago and the leader is a new account (with just 1 job with a payed lvl up), and was asking members to donate gil and items, and gave them tasks (obtain some exact items to put in fc chest, recruit a number of new members, etc) with the reward to have a better rank.
Today I got out of my fc after saying in the fc chat that what the leader does seems like a scam. And she has told me she's going to report me for harassment.
What should I do?
Looking for a basic and concise guide for a begininer. Also a guide on what class to play. Didn't see anything on pins. I'm the type of player who just likes playing on 1 character mostly. Anything is appreciated
!faq newplayertips
theres a video on the jobs in the pins
Also the larryzaur video
oh ok didnt see that thanks
As for class to play on one character, just remember that one character can be all the jobs here
So you're not locked into anything
Thanks, thought that was for expansion since it had the shadowbringer
Its updated for Shadowbringers
it just means its updated
This is what I told in the fc chat
Even still it doesn't matter if you're trial or not
Thanks much appreciated.
Yeah there's no harassment case here
Yep, not harassment. You're fine.
Just want to be sure I dont have anything to worry about, I was thinking of asking in S-E forums what to do, or ask in support desk
dont do anything
Or just abuse in general
because they fc leader cant do anything
Also even though I bought the game, should I subcribe now or near to the end of my trial sub
Wait
up to you
Once you input the code you're immediately locked out of the trial
And have to pay the sub after the 30days free time is up
Glad to know that. I'lll wait then. Since I haven't even launched the game
I'll look at these guides you guys showed. Thanks for the help again
Just hit 80 on my gun breaker today and need to get through the patches from 5.0 but when can I start the relic quest for gnb?
after 5.1, unlock the relic in the Bozjan southern front area
You'll also need to have completed the ivalice raids from stormblood
@modest igloo thanks. And you think it's worth buying 480 gear if it's cheap or just work my way up
Remember to have finished Ivalice raids to unlock Bozja
buy 510 gear if you can afford it
otherwise allegory gear will do
Otherwise the 490 gear you can buy with allegory tomes should be able to tide you over
For ivalice is that pretty easy to find groups for?
Atm easy enough,
As a tank farming allegory will be quick if you want to save the gil (need to save the gil, etc)
Yeah, they're all quick queues right now because of the relic
Just unlock them and queue for them while you do the patch content and you'll be done before you know it
Why do some people have different crafting station design thingies. Like, when I use Culi It is a pan over a fire. But this guy next to me have a stove o.o
And allegory are from shb dungeons, right? Didn't look too deep before logging
If you've got a 70 dps, you can queue on that for a faster timer.
The 80 ones, yes. And your roulettes when 80
If it's empty, the fates won't be as hard. You should be able to solo them all easily on a DPS or Blue
azya la has more groups
It changes based on your equipped tool and the exact craft
I can farm red memories in azys la too?
Ooh, that makes sense. Ty
azys lla will have more population because everyone can fly
there's two areas for each memory
Blu mage nukes fates
That's the ultimate pro tip
Hmm i yried with blu but its even harder lol
Maybe I dont have the right abilities for fates
Just get rams voice from cutters cry
Get the standard BLU dps spells
Rams Voice, Ultravibration, and Choco Meteor will carry you through almost all of them
Dragons voice from the same dungeon can be useful for multiple enemy ones
It admittedly usually dies too quick there
For boss fates just use normal BLU ST rotation
Tingle whistle trident, bristle mantra, nightbloom etc
you could be a gigachad and do proper level 70 moon flute opener, but it doesn't really matter so long as you've got plenty of good buttons and you're pressing them
hey , anyone care to enlighten me where/how to get the most recent gear ? im i488 and havent played since september (5.3?). doing the msq right now. and whats this bozjan front about?
Grab Choco Meteor and use your Chocobo. You'll have a spamy 300 potency aoe
because deep freeze isn't broken by anything besides dragon's
Grab choco meteors from the red chocos outside tailfeather
BSF is Eureka
and current tomes are Revelation
Spear Fishin question: Do more spots get unlocked with level? Cause I can't seem to find any fishes around the sunken junk in yanxia
what can i find in this BSF ? special gear like eureka ?
i believe so
Sort of. It's for developing the relic
Or, one method of doing it
and kinda its own standalone content i guess, there's some stuff to be got and it also functions as a 71-80 not-quite-a-deep-dungeon leveling method
wdym , ive read that the fastest way to get the 20 memories is by doing fates in HW regions
so basically its just irrelevant content
no, not really

yeah, you can do SOME of the relic without stepping foot there
Its technically FASTER to do Bozja for that step
If you have a cluster party that can seperate into different regions
But its optional
however most recent step requires rank 10 and completion of Lacus Litore, which is sort of baldesion arsenal but not
hm i see
rank 10 in BSF is like, under a week's work depending on your playtime
there's no challenge logs, and the fates are a lot more commonly spawning
im already 6 , so ye it doesnt seem too slow
about as much as actual fates, really
Yeah no you absolutely need to do Bozja for the recent relic weapon step. Its not an option
Because the relic is locked behind your first run of Delubrum Reginae
yeah, just regard the hordes of people pissed off that they didn't know that and are also playing catchup lol
Delubrum Reginae isn't
No
you just queue it
Its queable
Its a special alliance-ish raid
No role restrictions
how do i unlock those ?
CLL, be rank 10
Castrum hotfix was mentioned as something that will happen. A hotfix is happening on Tuesday, so hopefully they are one in the same
Castrum is a special Critical Engagement. Spawns every hour
Continue the Bojza story line
DR, continue the story line
mhm
Castrum at rank 10 story, Dr after it
When you get to rank 10, it'll unlock Castrum. When you finish Castrum, you go do Delubrum
im catching up on msq right now , but good to know nonetheless
what about gear progression ? still the eden raids ?
Edens or Cryptlurker gear
Just new tier of stuff
cryptlurker ?
New tomes
e9-12, revelation cryptlurker gear
ah
Gear from relevations
kk
there's no 3rd nier raid yet
Its basically allegory last patch
alright, thanks for the info guys. appreciate
How you progress is the same, just new tier od it...new names and all
Where can I find the Bozjan earrings that gives exp to lvl 80?
talk to jonathas to claim them once you have gotten the achievement
oh
Then go pick up from ^
Do you know the name of the achivement?
lost and found iv
I remember once reading someone saying to leave DoH/DoL class quests for high levels because they would give more experience. Is this true?
aight
Esp if you intend to do expert crafting cuz manipulation
Ok found it, not sure what is the forgotten fragments I have been collecting.
Its only obtainable in Stormblood class quests
how do i unlock the bozjan front
for relics
do i have to go through the ivalice raids
ew
They're the Fragments of X dropped in bojza
They are a part of the bozja story
Sorta, kinda
Guessing race doesn't play a major role
They do give significant experience and you can cheese it with overgearing the quest requirements if you do it this way. If it is within your means to do the class quests as you go it doesn't hurt. But its not awful to leave them till later as long as you understand that some of your crafts will be tougher to execute without some vital skills
Oh ok these ones
Thanks
Yes those
lol my bad just got back into the game, overwhelm with many items
looks like I have to farm more after my relic :c
uh, how do you switch performance mode hud from keyboard to controller hud version
i clicked everything and it didnt do anything lol
im in gamepad mode
Oh
You didn't turn on cross hotbar
You have to enable cross hotbar in the hotbar settings
do i need a specific lvl to enter bsf ? i heard its good to lvl alts
71
meh , ok
You'll be synced to 80 in Bozja however you will gain exp for the class you're trying to level regardless
wait , do i need 71 to unlock bsf ? can i go with a lv 52 when ive got it ?
No
Whats the best way to find a static group? My buddies and I are trying to find one to do clears

You can't even enter the instance unless you're 71
alright ty
For 1 - 60 : Palace of the Dead
61 - 70 : Heaven on High
71 - 80 : Bozja
For leveling
Alright
I gots a question
So that I don't get flamed to hell and back if I ever need to use them and don't use them
What's the Limit Break meter in trials for
to use the limit break ability
generally, in trials melee dps should use it since their limit break is single target dmg
if you don't have one, then one of the dps should use it for dmg
that said, healer lb3 can potentially save a wipe as its a party raise
Just two things to keep note of about LB: Tank LB3 is needed for a select few and far between mechanics or it's a wipe. Healer LB3 is a full party raise with no sickness and full HP/MP
Isn't Healer LB3 also a full hp raise unlike Raise or Verraise which raises you with like no hp and 0 mana
Oh so it is
ye
What does LB/LB2/LB3 do for each role
Yeah, it's a full on second chance button. Heals the people alive too.
so melee dps: single target dmg
physical ranged: line aoe dmg
caster: circle aoe dmg
tanks: party defense
The 1/2/3 just makes them more powerful with each bar.
!faq limitbreak
The bottom of this guide details the LBs, using the LB1 as the scale for how much damage they do
Also healer lb is very situational
Tank lb is required for some fights
But also situational
Most of the time, it'll be dps lb
Lb3 animations are unique for every class too
RDM LB3 has the added perk of blinding the entire raid during mechanics. 😉
so I'm a bit confused about potions in this game. why do stronger potions say it restores a less percentage of hp than the weaker ones
I've died in titan unreal because of rdm lb3
Because they all have a hard HP cap, and HP grows quickly as you level.
Walked straight off the edge because I couldn't see the limit
IE: HQ Potion and HQ Hi Potion both do 40%, but the Potion will heal a max of 200 points, while Hi Potion does 440.
which is the strongest potion? max potion?
Pretty much just means you need to use the potion in your level range, and not suck down a stack of Super potions at level 5 to live forever
I finally got the game working, and played for a bit with a fresh character. Wasn't sure how the UI worked and expected to see my old character in the list but didn't realize til after that I have to change data center to see them. How do world transfers work exactly? Do they always cost money even for returning players/players coming from other platforms?
Super I think. 6k heal on the HQ.
I'm getting confused by how segregated the websites feel. Going between lodestone, mogstation, the SE page... I can see my old character but not the one I just made.
currently which beast tribe can be used to lv up gatherer? and does spamming leves still work well like before?
if you just made it then it will take the system a bit to update
spamming leves still works
namazu (60-70) and qitari (70-80) can be used to level gathering jobs
Ok yea, I can see it. Just doesn't seem to be "clickable". I'd like to merge the two characters onto the one homeworld (where I made the fresh character). Is Tonberry the unofficial Australian server?
👍
tonberry and kujata are both unofficial SEA/Aussie servers
not sure what you mean by merge tho...do you mean you want to transfer them to tonberry?
I made a new character on Tonberry. I want to bring my old one over to Tonberry too.
do aetherial wheels have a timer on them
My old character from the PS3 days lol.
When does the quest to expand your holster size with those fabrics become available?
you can use the world transfer service on mogstation
Salvager, melder, and steward/hokonin(basically sells a variety of little things) @wet cradle
whenever you're on a job that's below your current highest you get a bonus to xp
do aetherial wheels have a timer on them or do they last till you remove em
iirc they basically sell stuff similar to the housing vendors
Is there a point in level difference where the bonus kicks in or will it apply all the way until your class reaches your other class' levels
the latter

@jagged crow afaik once the wheel is primed, it stays there until you remove it

That's dope
what are the aetherial wheels for?
Xp boosts n other stuff
Fc buffs
to make rank 3 free company buffs
Can i get both zonureskin and gliderskin maps on a day?
Why is iLv important? I'm comparing an item that has 480 iLv but Crit and Skill speed vs another that has none of those but 510 iLv
as a Sam
You can do as many maps as you want. You can only harvest one.
Substats affect your dps by sub 1%
@thorny sinew ah ok thanks
What differences are there between Titan (Hard) and Titan (EX)?
Like, mechanically?
Yeah like does he have new mechanics that his Normal and Hard forms don't have
Any Australians had experience with transferring home worlds? I'm getting an error when trying to finalize the payment.
Yes
It's my next blue quest in the trials chain
where can you get melder NPC permissions?
Already did Garuda EX
You can get table flip (Mountain buster) from hard if you want.
Independent Sutler in the housing district/apartment merchant in the apartment buildings
And the area is much Much smaller
I see.. but still though, Crystarium coat has 1 more Strenght than Exarchic while Exarchic has 510 iLv but 55 less Defense and worse sub stats
For extreme, landslide has multiple lines instead of one. After the heart phase, he'll summon two adds that drop a debuff on the ground and you'll want to murder them.
in that case, isnt Crystarium coat betteR?
1 weapon damage is massive
And the strength gain is worth alot more
Also
I think the bomb rock phase has a new formation too, but it's been so long since I've done hard that I'm not sure 100% on that.
I hate the bomb rocks
So much
oh shoooot
Nobody told me Titan (Hard) drops bombs
thats a lot of strenght
And I got exploded
They're easy. Watch where the first one drops, stand near the last one, and once the first ones blow up, head towards where it was.
That mechanic is repeated in one form or another in a ton of content.
They don't all drop and explode at once?
1 set does in extreme
Nope, they come out in order, and explode in that order
My solution since I didn't know about the bomb rocks was to stand next to my tank
Don't stand with the tank on Titan, or pretty much any boss
Standing with the tank is bad
Mountain buster is a cleave that applies phys vuln
I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. how long does a Primed Grade 3 Wheel of Confrontation last?
2 stacks and tanks need to swap
All FC buffs are 24 hours
If you're lost during a fight and not melee, you're usually safe to follow a healer that knows the fight.
If you are melee, get used to staring at butts.
oh...

That's what I do when I do new dungeons with Aura 
You can also ask, for trials etc, if someone is willing to mark themselves for you to follow. There are a lot of us out there that will happily toss a symbol on our head so you can see us in the arena and fall into step
I'm not even kidding
can you change the appearance of NPC's that you place in your house?
When I did Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium I was literally following her even though she was a healer 
The vendors are set looks
Everyone has to learn somehow. Just do your best. ^.^
I learned Garuda (Hard) by dying to it twice
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/288965-Housing-NPC-Images has images of what the vendors all look like @wet cradle
ah thanks!!
if I know the name of a fc, how can I join?
You could look it up on the Community Finder, to see if they have contacts listed. Otherwise, if it's a large FC, keep an eye out for people with the tag. Iirc through targeting them, you can apply directly.
how can I access the Community Finder?
For Glower (Aurum Vale Blue Spell) can you unsync it or does it need to be synced?
Just google it. It's online and free to access.
Unsync has a RNG droprate. Sync has a 100% droprate. I recommend synced.
is there any reason to use arbor call I over II once you get it?
Arbor Call 1 detects closest, which can be different from Arbor Call 2, which detects highest level
ohh
Arbor call is the "locate node" skill, right? AC1 is used for finding the nearest node, any level, AC2 is for finding the highest level node in the zone, regardless of distance.
So it depends on what you’re searching for
fantastic, and i'm almost certain that's the spell i need to access the Masked Carnivale
Not quite.
If it’s a dungeon spell needed for BLU quests it’s always 100% learn rate
Oh really?
guess I had some major dirt in my eyes because even after reading the tooltips thrice I didn't spot that difference haha
Regardless of if you do unsync
thanks
Im level 7, how do you earn gil besides quests? Do monsters ever drop gil?
they drop like 10
At that low of a level, quests is basically your only option
early on just do the MSQ (after finishing the main ARR ones I was at about 200k gil)
The best way to earn gil is not to spend it. Use the Return spell and favoured destinations liberally, or just leg it to places.
Community Finder isnt working, or is there a spacial place to put the name?
I put the name in the search words part and says 0 results XD
yep, in that one
lol, i was searching in another world, but still isnt there
In that case, try to track down a member of that FC. Ask NN.
oh, so not every fc is there?
Nope, only if the leader chooses to advertise
So is it even possible to level up all tradeskill while leveling my character or will I run out of gil or something?
I found it in lodestone, any place to click there to join?
Pick up gatherer skills and collect your own materials. At level 7, you should probably focus on the MSQ, but who am I to judge for being interested in that.
Is there a contact listed? Discord server, discord username, carrd, website, even in-game members?
WEll I cant craft until level 10, I was going to work on all the tradeskills while leveling. Im in no rush.
Then yeah, the only long-term sustainable option to level crafters is also leveling gatherers.
nop
Leveling up crafters while at low levels will drain your Gil unless you entirely self-sustain yourself
Is it worth doing FATES solo at level 7?
Iirc there should be a comment section. You could post your discord and/or in game name and hope Senpai notices. Apologies, I've only used the CF for a brief while.
Not particularly, but it’s one of the few methods of exp/Gil you have at this low of a level
Not really. Fates are kind of useless unless you need it for a specific reason, like atmas or beast tribes.
unless it's Odin. Don't go near Odin and report it to the NN.
Ok last question, I noticed there is crafting gear, gathering gear, magic gear, and war gear..... Is it easy to manage all this or will it become an inventory clutter nightmare (I plan on playing multiple classes AND craft/gather)
roles share gear
all healers share the same gear, all casters share the same gear, etc
If you level up all crafters equally then it won’t be as bad.
Crafters share gear, gatherers share a gear, and there's quite a few jobs that also share gear. It can become a clutter if you don't clean out old gear often.
^^^
Is there a big bank and also is there an auction house?
Auction house, yes, but it's not really worth buying off it unless you're rich and lazy.
you cant use either if youre on free trial
Free trial has some rather draconian restrictions to help curb bots.
I have a ring which gives plus +1 to determination. whats that do?
open character window and hover over the stats
Determination increases damage dealt and healing dished out.
determination is a very small boost to attack, defense, and healing
and I mean very small
oh
in increments of .01% I think?
Right that
(Only accurate for level 80)
In general unless you're level 80, listen to the "recommended gearŰ" button
Nope
You can stay trial as long as you like. I've met someone on NN who wanted to get all classes to 60 and make relics before upgrading. Ugh.
whats with the random level 50 monsters showing up near low level areas?
ah. fellow mad lads
Those are B-ranks. Basically weak "bosses" that you need a special hunt bill for to get rewards for
does smn want direct hit or det?
!faq balance
Specifically the blue icon ones are passive, they will not attack you. Red icons are aggressive, so don't poke around them.
smn uses either one
So I have no idea which Blu spells are worth while or how to sort my hotbar
I love it when I'm trying to get around on foot on alts and an A-rank is spawned in the middle of the road so I have to go around and aggro half the zone anyways :)
Crit > dhit > det is the meld priority
is there a guide for Blu or is it a special case (the hotbar specifically)
What role are you? A few must-haves are mimic, Bristle, Song of Torment, all non-conflicting primal skills and Final Sting
its for relic. same thing?
I just unlocked Glower for the quest
Yes thats fine @runic prawn
ty
Water Cannon, Ice Spikes, Thousand Needles for sure are pretty worthless
It depends on what content you're doing, what role you're doing it as, etc. If you mean is there a good way to set up the bar like a typical 1-2-3 combo? No. There are spells that interact with each other, and you'll want to weave your oGCDs, but set it up however you're comfortable.
Thousand Needles are situationally good, like with stage 2 carnivale or swifting it at low levels
Well, all three of those have use in the carnivale. But out in the open world, yeah.
a spell that really is useless is toad oil. Most stuff that can kill you has 100% accuracy anyways
unless you want to self destruct
Toad Oil is great when solo farming fates and using Hydro Pull so it's easier to get Ram's Voice off
So what spells should I use for this one?
cause i really need to trim down that hotbar
I suggest trying them out on your own by simply looking at the info on the page. If you don't feel like that, there's a page on the wiki/reddit with all the stages and how to do them.
Look at the page itself and you'll see the monsters. Mouse over them and they'll give you some info, like weakness and what status effects are useful against them.
so i heard bards are pretty weak in this game. is it true or is all classes fairly well balanced
in community finder, when it says active members and recruiting members, is that online and total members?
!faq bluguide @glacial isle
"active" is all members
and recruiting?
the amount they want to gain
thxs
what's the first thing you should try to learn as a Blu mage?
self destruct
was that a real response
doesn't that also kill you?
yeah
what's the point of that one
for fun
It deals a lot of damage to trash packs, but it's been obsoletised since the update
so from level 1 to 10, just go about with water cannon?
You can grab other low level spells
If you have a buddy to help, you can get thousand stinger
(and power level you to 70)
where would you get thousand stinger, a dungeon?
Cactuars
There's some near little ala mhigo
Or you can get it in a dungeon like cutters cry or something
There's Multiple locations for various skills
For point of reference, all Blue spells are level 1. If you can get to the mob, see it cast it, and survive til it dies, you have a chance of learning it even at level 1.
So long as its your tagged mob (Or in a party with them etc) nope. Just be in combat with them and see the cast
Is there a drop penalty for killing lower level mobs?
No
no
Why am I being charged an extra dollar to renew my services? And should I still be charged even though the payment keep getting error? Also how come I’m getting an error?
The 1 dollar thing usually is a test on the card to see if its real
If you're seeing 12.99 and 1.00 as charges, the 1.00 is usually a test and it goes away
it should be refunded eventually
Mmmm okay, is there a maintenance or something I can’t seem to renew?
whats the error
@primal relic got a screenshot of it? I was getting an error on mogstation when trying to do a world transfer earlier.
I don’t know it’s in Japanese(I’m assuming).
No screenie
I’ll take a screenie when I try again, after the system refund my $2.
how do blue mages get their canes?
Job Quests unlock them all through Carnivale or a Vendor
Job quests
Their canes dont affect their damage much
So they're primarily glamour. Outside the few that can be melded
All BLU damage scales on Int though, not the cane. The only thing the canes are good for is slotting stronger materia
There's like 7? Or 8 now
Six I think
does the Blue Mage role set thing people in PFs keep asking for unlocked via the Blue Mage quests or?
Pharos Sirius Hard
First boss specifically
Level 60 dungeon
Aetherical Mimicry
That and Basic Instinct are two of the best spells we have.
For soloing stuff yeah
Ah, just going down the Blue spell list and doing Carnivale now that I’ve unlocked it
If you're soloing dungeons for your spells vs grouping for them, grab Basic Instinct out of order. You'll want it. Get Aetherial Mimicry asap as well, since it augments you even as a dps.
Yep
Its basically mandatory in anything
is there any prerequest to use the seasonal shop? I turned up to the NPC and there is no item in all options...
Complete the seasonal quest generally
I finished the Valentine event just now and was looking for the valentine shop but it is empty too 
are you checking the maid next to the gate at mih khetto
when do the 'go here talk to X then go there talk to Y and so on so forth' quests end
I'm lvl 33 archer, did 4 dungeons, those wete cool yeah but like
^
well yea but like
walk around for 2 hours
15 minute dungeon
i like the game but it's a bit stale
thats how story games work
Oh I saw it now thank you! I was looking at the NPCs that do seasonal items after the season
i hope the story gets more interesting at least then, i liked the ifrit thing but the bit with sylphs had me falling asleep at my keyboard
yes it does
ARR is a slow burn but it sets up literally everything else that happens in the story
ARR?
ooh
2.x content
and when it gets better, it gets a lot better
I has questions
hell yea, that's the motivation i needed
I don't see either inthe reddit list
back to no-lifing
@signal mica Stick with it, trust me. I just started recently and there are definitely slow points
but when I hit the 2.55 patch, hoooooo shit
So I just did the long chain of Primal fights from Urianger and the Scions (Unlocking the Hard and EX versions of the trials) and got three Rowena's Tokens, and now her assistant has a recurring blue quest with more Rowena Tokens
Where do I go to use these
Hello when does character creation lock lift?
When there aren't a bunch of people on
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
I just deleted a character to remake them and now I cant rip
If you're trying to get on Famfrit have fun waiting until probably 5 AM EST before it opens
@dire prawn you can trade them for i90 weapons in mor dhona
leviathan
I have Ironworks weapons on my WHM and SAM and my RDM has that starter i115 rapier
i90 is disgusting
What's the SAM katana I can get with these tokens look like
Where do you get Basic Instinct and Aetherial Mimcry? They aren't in the Blue spell lists
i dont think theres a katana
Basic Instinct is from the coeurls in the northwest corner of Upper La Noscea
you're in famfrit now?
https://ffxivcollect.com/spells
Instinct is from across the lake from Camp Bronze Lake, from the Master Coreol. They cast it on pull.
