#

So how do you download a FF14 FT on PS4 if you're in the Asian Region of SEA nations

#

🤔

faint flare
#

The game is primarily solo

#

With a number of required multi player dungeons

potent shale
#

I need to help my friend because she wants to play the game

whole wasp
#

its primarily solo but you see people everywhere

faint flare
#

Mainly in limsa because they're degenerates

whole wasp
#

its also friendly to new players as in it assumes you never played a game before in its handholding at the start

arctic crescent
#

May I know if theres a way to take picture of background only?

whole wasp
#

you mean without your character?

arctic crescent
#

yes!

faint flare
#

Go first person

whole wasp
#

you could zoom in all the way

oak ice
#

The Home button

faint flare
#

Zoom alllllllll the way in

whole wasp
#

what vinyl said

faint flare
#

Or that

arctic crescent
#

ahh! I never knew about that. Thank you guys

untold mural
#

How is the crafting in FF? I actually enjoy this aspect of games and want to be able to craft without needing to perform in end game raids, is that possible?

faint flare
#

Its entirely optional

remote lintel
#

endgame raids are always optional

faint flare
#

And raids are optional

remote lintel
#

crafting is like a whole other system

untold mural
#

Nice, so no raid drops required to be able to craft all items

remote lintel
#

sometimes

untold mural
#

That is great to know

faint flare
#

Well raids drop some stuff

untold mural
#

oh...

faint flare
#

But its usually just glamour stuff

#

Or housing items

untold mural
#

ahhh, thats ok

faint flare
#

Not actual gear

remote lintel
#

you can buy them off the market board

untold mural
#

Since it sounds very solo focused, does the game have anything like guilds or families?

remote lintel
#

it has guilds

faint flare
#

Free companies

#

Are guilds

remote lintel
#

the only solo focused thing about it is the main story

faint flare
#

Its a final fantasy game first, mmo second

remote lintel
#

its just that being social is optional

faint flare
#

Due to story

gritty cedar
potent shale
#

oh no

gritty cedar
#

but SE store is global and no regional restrictions so u might want to try the SE pc version

potent shale
#

she doesnt have a PC tho

#

her PC is a company PC, and because of covid she has to put off of buying a personal laptop

slate arrow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

can't help you then

#

short of using a VPN on your PS4 or something

cloud palm
#

Can someone explain to me like im five what the umbral pip things for BLM do? I'm only level 38 but i feel like i missed some explanation or something

faint flare
#

They show your stance

#

Ice stance massively regens your mana

oak ice
#

Astral Fire increases your damage and mana cost, Umbral Ice reduces damage and greatly increases mana regen

worthy basin
#

or create a us account (this is what i did for me)

faint flare
#

Fire stance buffa your fire spells alot but stops all mana regen

cloud palm
#

I know all that but every time i land a spell i get a pip. i havent figured out the pips

faint flare
#

Its a stacking stance

oak ice
#

Bigger effect

cloud palm
#

like more damage?

oak ice
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yes

cloud palm
#

oh gotcha

faint flare
#

3 fire is 1.8x fire damage

cloud palm
#

hard to believe i didnt figure that one out

oak ice
#

It's something like 120, 140, 180% damage for the stacks

cloud palm
#

does it reduce cast time?

faint flare
#

Only if you have 3 stacks, it halfs cast time of the opposite element

oak ice
#

3 stacks of fire reduces cast for the next ice spell and vice versa, but only do that when you're done in fire/ice phase to switch back

faint flare
#

Which you use on Fire 3/blizzard 3 to swap your mode

cloud palm
#

of the opposite element okay

faint flare
#

There's a general description of your gauge in Actions and traits

#

The question mark at the bottom

cloud palm
#

yeah i read that but i was still confused so thats why i asked for the dummy version cause im a potato

#

BLM is by far the most complicated class ive come across so far

remote lintel
#

it really isnt

cloud palm
#

you underestimate my idiocy

faint flare
#

There's alot more complex

#

Its just understanding what which stance does

oak ice
#

Summoner every expansion rework

whole wasp
faint flare
#

Still wont fix pets

left moth
#

The basic idea is get 3 fire stacks with fire3 for more damage and use fire1 because it uses less mp. Then transpose into ice in order to get mp back and also throw lightning (dot). Then go back to fire 3 again to get 3 stacks to repeat. That is the low-er level general idea of blm(not optimal but whatever)

cloud palm
#

the stances i understood cause they're pretty straight foward. Whats the point of Scathe? just a quick poke tool?

faint flare
#

Well fire/blizzard 3 to swap stances

#

Its basically useless

cloud palm
#

i figured

left moth
#

Use a lot of mp, get it back, use most of it all again

faint flare
#

Itd the nichest of niche

cloud palm
#

cause it didnt seem to fit into anything

oak ice
#

If you really, really need to move and have no other tools available

raw solstice
#

scathe is a movement tool/last tap of damage before something dies. It's something you increasingly have more options that are better to use than it as you get to higher levels, and it's often detrimental to use because it costs just barely too much MP

oak ice
#

I think Rika gets a ping every time someone mentions black mage

raw solstice
#

even if you really have to move like, legitimately just casting an early B3/F3 is better than scathe, which is pretty frequently still a possible thing to do

#

do not remove scathe entirely

faint flare
#

You could say the leylines called her

cloud palm
#

Actually? Like its that pointless?

raw solstice
#

do not remove it entirely from your hotbar. While niche it still has its use, and it's not like you'll be really running into issues with hotbar space

faint flare
#

Put it in a far corner of the hotbar

cloud palm
#

No but I'll admit BLM was the most hotbar intensive class so far

faint flare
#

The "just incase the blue moon and pigs fly space"

#

All jobs use at least 2-3 bars

whole wasp
#

except SCH use at least 3 bars

#

most button intensive job

left moth
#

Yes scathe is nearly pointless. Its supposedly for shoot and scoot on later leveling you get triple cast and ability to go to a party member amd back to lay lines. Its better to learn that in muscle memory for mobility enjancement than depend on scathe

raw solstice
#

its use for movement is essentially pointless. Its use elsewhere is not. It can, for example, be an invaluable choice in TEA on jagd dolls

left moth
#

(disclaimer: i dont play blm because i never learned that and get tripped up on mobility)

raw solstice
#

of course that's not super relevant while leveling, and scathe for movement has a good bit more value while leveling too compared to at 60+ when it starts to actively hurt you a decent bit more

THM/BLM leveling rotations
worthy rain
#

@cloud palm following that guide and seeing what the phases do maybe you realise it better

cloud palm
#

well i got the jist of it and i've been looking at rotations. honestly I just couldn't figure out the pips for whatever reason but now that i got that it makes sense

#

I use that Salted site cause it looks nice

raw solstice
#

we have the BLM stuff ported over onto akhmorning, if you want something a bit more visual

oak ice
#

Rika knows everything and more about BLM

faint flare
#

And Weskalber does nice videos on YouTube

#

For every job while levelling

drowsy rapids
#

I seem to recall SCH and SMN sharing level progression when I last played. Is that still the case?

faint flare
#

Yes

oak ice
#

Ye

fresh wing
#

how do i make a raid party? lol like more than 4 player in a party

worthy rain
#

(Have to say, that guide is outdated, there is no "cold Flare")

raw solstice
#

it is not outdated

drowsy rapids
#

Is it 1:1?

left moth
#

Yes they still share xp

faint flare
remote lintel
#

@fresh wing invite them?

fresh wing
#

o

oak ice
#

You specifically level up Arcanist

faint flare
#

You can have 8 people by default

worthy rain
fresh wing
#

ty

#

thought i had to form a raid pt first

drowsy rapids
#

Oh...so if I level as a summoner to cap, I can just crystal swap and be a lvl capped SCH as well?

faint flare
#

There's no raid parties, other than alliance raids

grizzled rover
#

!exp

faint flare
#

Which is just 3 full parties

remote lintel
#

@drowsy rapids you would have to unlock smn but yes

#

and do its job quests

oak ice
#

You don't get "summoner experience" or "scholar experience", you get "arcanist experience", and summoner and Scholar share levels with Arcanist

raw solstice
# worthy rain (This will go off topic)

not especially, I can answer briefly here. It lists the general recommendation for most cases which is hot Flare, and refers to the BLM guide for more information such as cold Flare, etc. The command itself is just meant for a brief overview, not for details on every specific use case

left moth
drowsy rapids
#

Yeah job quests are ez pz now with flying mounts, I’m not too worried about that

grizzled rover
#

whats the rested xp thing again

drowsy rapids
#

Is conjuror by chance linked to AST?

grizzled rover
#

the bot command

remote lintel
#

no

faint flare
drowsy rapids
#

Aww

remote lintel
#

sch and smn are the only 2 classes that share exp

left moth
#

If dont have suitable sch/healer gear set will need that too

drowsy rapids
#

I woulda expected WHM and AST be joined like SCH SMN

grizzled rover

wait so am i lvel 50 now or

#

it blue

#

blue is good right

cloud palm
#

oh hey that Akh site is the one i was using. Salted just links you to that. Neato

faint flare
#

Blue means you have enough for the next level

drowsy rapids
#

Blue is rested isn’t it?

oak ice
#

Blue means you have rested exp

faint flare
#

In rested xp

grizzled rover
#

how do i claim it

remote lintel
#

you dont

faint flare
#

Kill mobs

oak ice
#

You do stuff

raw solstice
drowsy rapids
#

By gaining exp lol

crystal bluff
#

doing stuff

remote lintel
#

it just gives you an exp boost

#

it doesnt mean you have the exp

drowsy rapids
#

Blue just means it’s gonna count for more than usual

#

Aka fill up faster

grizzled rover
#

oh

faint flare
#

No

oak ice
#

It's 30%(?) more per mob you kill until it runs out

worthy rain
faint flare
#

It just means yoy have enough rested xp bonus stored up for the next level

worthy rain
#

Thanks 👍

raw solstice
#

again would stress that the leveling command is not out of date, but is just specifically light on details for general ease of access

worthy rain
cloud palm
#

^^

#

It helped me a lot though made me sad that trash pulls until 50 is just Freeze spam 💔

faint flare
#

Yeah fire 2 is just that pathetic

cloud palm
#

but their later AOE route is pretty bomb diggity. Once you get there of course.

worthy rain
#

Talking about aoe rotations, I only see their use in dungeons, not in anything more...

remote lintel
#

trials and raids have adds

worthy rain
#

Someone recommended me only when there are 3+ enemies

faint flare
#

There's not many bosses that summon adds

#

But when they do people briefly aoe them down

cloud palm
#

oh well for me I do a lot of dungeons so its pretty good to know for that

#

hell its been like 70% of my experience at this point since i aint got no raid buddies

worthy rain
#

You are gonna use aoe a lot in dungeons, and raids, in trials... I use it, but not so much, sometimes I prefer a fast kill single target rotation to defend a healer or other dps

raw solstice
#

a vast, vast majority of time that will be the incorrect play

#

adds will generally be tanked and they won't be on the healer or other dps

worthy rain
#

I mean if I see an enemy slashing a healer, I target it and take it down

#

Yeah well...

raw solstice
#

the tank can and should be able to easily pick the add back up

remote lintel
#

just keep using aoes

oak ice
#

Be a darling and tell the tank to stop eating glue

cloud palm
#

oof

whole wasp
#

blast the largest concentration of mobs

oak ice
#

Extremely few adds cannot be tanked

whole wasp
#

healer can take care of themselves

cloud palm
#

but that gorilla glue be fire tho

raven burrow
#

hey , do the memories for shb relic cap at 20 ? also if im at 20 for one sort will the other drop more frequently ?

whole wasp
#

in fact healers will know to drag the mobs to the centre of all the mobs

faint flare
#

You can farm as many as you want

oak ice
#

You can have as many as you want and if you're doing FATEs, they're 100% for gold

faint flare
#

Speaking of i need to cluster farm soon...

raven burrow
#

thats kinda whack , ive double the amount of tortured compared to sorrowful

oak ice
#

Change zone

raven burrow
#

and 0 of the 3rd

#

im lvling in bsf rn

oak ice
#

Bsf?

faint flare
#

Blues are in the middle zone

oak ice
#

Oh

faint flare
#

Reds are in the 3rd zone

#

So

oak ice
#

Yellows are bot, blues mid and reds top

raven burrow
#

ah i see, that makes sense

faint flare
#

You generally get alot more yellows cause people prefer to cluster farm there

#

Closer to base and all

oak ice
#

Outside of Bozja, you have yellows in western coerthas and the floating islands that I'm blanking on, blues in forelands and Churning Mists, and reds in Azys Lla and Hinterlands

raven burrow
#

whats the point of clusters anyway , i dont see anything worthwile in the shop

faint flare
#

The items can go for alot of money

raven burrow
#

do they ?

faint flare
#

Plus the new fragments are Required For savage Delerum

#

The mount can go for a few hundred thousand

raven burrow
faint flare
#

The new fragments are like 10k +

#

Depending

#

On the type

#

So if you want quick cash while in Bojza

#

Just check the market to see whichs high

raven burrow
#

are these savage duties mandatory for the shb relic ? or whats their point

faint flare
#

No

#

Savage Delerum is if you want the dyeable judge gear

#

And the cerberus mount

#

Which is a 4 seater

raven burrow
#

yeah i can tell , the thing is huge

rugged flicker
#

Is doing Castrum on the Southern Front something I should join a Discord server for?

oak ice
#

The maintenance in just under 2 hours is supposed to increase drops to actually make people run it after completing it once

faint flare
#

You dont need to but its more reliable to get people in

#

But ^

rugged flicker
#

Like difficulty wise, how does it compare with that final dungeon in Eureka? Is it anything like that?

faint flare
#

Tbh i need to run it for more Fonts...

#

Its nothing like BA

#

Its a glorified 24man

#

Just get your splits right and use Essense

#

And you're gucci

#

And a party with half a brain to do Lyon on last boss

left moth
#

Discord callouts helps for some mechanics but the biggest problem is herding cats for door boss (even split top side and bottom)

faint flare
#

As long as someone takes control in ordering parties can calling for splits it generally goes fine

#

I personally take control whenever I've done it and cleared every run

raw solstice
#

if you're trying to figure out commands and otherwise use the bot outside of answering questions, please use #kupo-bot-spam

!chocobo

#

raw solstice
#

you are looking for !faq mount, by the way

rugged flicker
#

How Feasible would it be to win the final battle of the tank questline in 5.0 using level 70 armor?

clear blaze
#

@raw solstice thank you!!

rugged flicker
#

Not that much?

#

Meaning, I wouldn't have much of a good chance?

oak ice
#

It's not that bad

faint flare
#

Kinda doubt it

left moth
#

I think last role quest syncs to 420 so it might be doable if are a god gamer but youre really going to be having a bad time

faint flare
#

Maybe with good cooldown mitigation and healing

oak ice
#

The difference in stats isn't nearly as sharp as SB leveling

rugged flicker
#

Oh wait

#

I'll just buy some nq gear from some NPC's

#

Should be good enough.

oak ice
#

No

crystal bluff
#

No

rugged flicker
#

?

crystal bluff
#

Do dungeons

oak ice
#

NQ gear is worse than Scaevan

left moth
#

(meaning dependent on npc healing and prioritizing mechanics)

oak ice
#

You lose like 50 item levels worth of stats without HQ

rugged flicker
#

But I'm almost to level 80... so I'll be getting my job armor.

#

Also

faint flare
#

You make yourself weaker

oak ice
#

Just do the fight, it's without risk of dying anyway

rugged flicker
#

I really don't intend on using htis job at all. I'm only doing this for Shadow Walk with Me.

oak ice
#

The tank one takes a long time but deals almost no damage

rugged flicker
#

So I'm not going to waste money on high 70 HQ armor when I'm two levels and two quests away from the job armor. I'll just buy NQ from some NPC's.

oak ice
#

What ilvl do you have now?

rugged flicker
#

390, been leveling via Bozjan so I've been able to get by with it.

oak ice
#

If you have Scaevan you should be able to do it

left moth
#

Should be able to get 400 scavean to help but dungeon dropa are better

oak ice
#

If you're really scared you can spam dungeons

#

But like I said, it's extremely low damage in it

rugged flicker
#

It's just for one fight, and I can't see NQ and HQ being the difference between winning a job fight if I'm at an adequate ilevel.

left moth
#

Its not just item level but main stats and amount of hp/vit difference

oak ice
#

i410 NQ gear will have a lot lower stats than i390 Scaevan

#

Since Scaevan has the HQ boost

dusty pond
#

i am looig for an fc to join in midgardsormr i just started

rugged flicker
#

It's just for one fight tho... LIke literally, I'll have this armor, go back to Bozjan to level up to 80, do the rest of the quests, get my job armor, then probably never touch this job again until 6.0 so I can do additional story content.

oak ice
#

Listen to me, you're actively shooting yourself in the foot by getting NPC gear

#

It is objectively worse than what you have now

finite solar
#

Guys! I need a help, backing to the game Today, I have the Game+Stormblood DLC on Steam but I want to play trial in steam with new account (I think I lost my last account)... How I do that? my fear is: download Trial Version on steam and dont unable to upgrade to stormblood in my new account even though the game has already been purchased...

timid geyser
#

Because you just can't do that on your current steam account

#

You can't go back to trial once you bought the game

rugged flicker
#

Also, I was wrong, only like four of my current gear is 390, the rest is 385. And the one that is 390 is from the Ivalice raid.

crystal bluff
#

If you've already ought it on steam, you'll have to make a new account and download the trial from the website

timid geyser
#

^

oak ice
#

That's fine if the i385 gear is HQ hq

timid geyser
#

You can't get it from steam for a new SE account

rugged flicker
#

I mean, I'm comparing the stats and even at NQ they are objectively better.

#

Vs the Dwarven armor at 78, that is.

timid geyser
#

Just buy tome gear

left moth
#

Just trust us when we say augmented scavean is better (and then lv75+ dungeon drops)

finite solar
#

I made a new account and play in Free Trial client, but not in steam, now I download it on steam but my fear is I can't use my old Stormblood key, what do I do with this dlc in the account now?

rugged flicker
#

I'm not farming tomes for a single job fight. <_<

timid geyser
#

Your old stormblood key is linked to your old account

crystal bluff
#

Then go do some high-70 dungeons and get some tank gear

finite solar
oak ice
#

According to what I'm seeing, you're getting lower strength but like 1% more defense

#

From the i390 piece at least

#

Roughly, depends on the piece

rugged flicker
#

Which I only have four of

oak ice
#

And the i385, assuming it's HQ is like 1% loss in stats overall

#

The difference is so minimal you won't even notice it

#

And if you fail, I'm pretty sure that fight has a very easy mode

rugged flicker
#

So basically you were originally saying I would have a very hard time with level 70 armor doing the final fight, but you're also saying I'd have an equally difficult time by using NQ armor of that particular level?

oak ice
#

I was saying from the start that the fight is super easy

#

And you should just go in your current gear

gilded forge
#

Feel free to make fun of me if this is simple but is there a way to rotate the stairs so they're facing the other direction? I've tried placing them and rotating but that doesn't work at all and no matter how I try to place them they're always facing the one way.

Warrior looks a little selfish, but very badass

all tanks are easy

The way you say it makes it look like the whole game is easy xD

there is no class in this game thats too complicated for new players

Should I pull the trigger and buy lol. It’s on sale for another 14 min

finite solar
#

In the free trial version can I release the Samurai? one viewer asked about that

remote lintel
#

you can hold the code until you want to use it

oak ice
#

You need Stormblood installed for SAM

finite solar
#

And if I start playing the Free version out of steam, can I migrate the account to Steam in the paid version later?

remote lintel
#

youll have to

#

once you touch steam youre locked to it

#

oh

#

yeah you can go from windows trial to steam full

#

you cant go from steam trial to windows full

finite solar
#

Got it, I have a steam account with Stormblood's dlc but I don't have access to the old FF account. So I created a new one to return to the game without paying a monthly fee (windows trial), but I didn't know if I could go from the windows trial to the steam full later. (I will probably have to buy the latest expansion and use it on the new account)

remote lintel
#

youll have to unlink your steam account

I've not messed with glamour at all, but can you not glamour say.. a machinist jacket for a gunbreaker?

Kinda lame, but ah well

lavish vortex
#

So you see how on controller, you cycle through your enemies with r2/l2 + r1/l1... can you make it so that instead of cycling through your enemies, it cycles through your party list?

raven burrow
#

@lavish vortex the d pad is used for that

#

up/down

lavish vortex
#

But when healing, doing that with dpad won’t let you move, so you have to get into position and then select... Id like use the method I’m asking, is that possible?

finite solar
#

Do you think it's worth it to play Stormblood again one month (pay monthly fees), and buy Shadowbringers later? I believe I still have level 60 content to do. I'm almost 3 years away, sorry for the question.

elfin wagon
#

is there any macros 4 when u change jobs it changes the glamour plate as well

Well there’s other rooms, one for each role, and two more for the other regions.

Okay, thanks much. One last question. I'm looking for an FC, so where would I go in here to scout around?

Yes, with dpad it respects the filters I’m setting up, but what I wanna do is cycle through my party list with R2 + L1. Not with the dpad

Lol same

hoary fossil
atomic apex
#

Dkm

shut panther
#

If you want a general idea, try thinking about the functionality of skills and grouping them that way

#

So on a paladin you'd have your basic 123 comboes, your damage cooldowns, defensive cooldowns and utility oddballs

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

remote lintel
#

I have my 123 combo and aoe on right trigger and movement/ogcd attacks on left trigger

#

and buffs/defensives/etc on hotbar 2

shut panther
#

Oh right, your AOE stuff.

atomic apex
#

So far everytime I do a dung I get commodations so I think I am doing something right lol

shut panther
#

Think about the fact that ogcd timings can be tight, whereas you know you've got ~2.5s between weaponskills and spells

remote lintel
#

you can fit 2 ogcds between gcds

atomic apex
#

Ok I will train and try to master my timing

remote lintel
#

timing isn't really an issue

#

as long as you're not clipping

shut panther
#

So yeah, nobody can really tell you the "correct" hotbar setup, just what to think about when setting them up

atomic apex
#

What's clipping

shut panther
#

?ogcds

remote lintel
#

delaying your gcd because you used an ogcd too late

#

there's a .7s animation lock on ogcds

shut panther
#

Whatever the bot command is

remote lintel
#

it's not that serious

#

that's like basic stuff

atomic apex
#

Lol

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

remote lintel
#

basically don't try to use more than 2 ogcds between gcds

shut panther
#

The tldr of that image is

#

Everything has a cast time

pliant flume
#

whats the dps difference between clipping and non-clipping

remote lintel
#

big

shut panther
#

Depends on the class, but big

remote lintel
#

that's why you don't macro gcds

#

because macros don't queue

#

and will clip

atomic apex
#

Do u guys know a gambling discord for ffxiv

shut panther
#

Essentially the #1 tenet of being effective in this game is your gcd should always be rolling

#

And clipping means that isn't happening

remote lintel
#

I only know the player run casino on primal haha

shut panther
#

There's some very limited exceptions to this rule of course

#

Assize for example

pliant flume
#

kinda seems weird that this is a thing, is clipping an intended mechanic?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

they put a .7s animation lock for a reason

shut panther
#

Honestly in arr it might've been coincidental

remote lintel
#

clipping is a natural effect of that

shut panther
#

But they've absolutely designed combat around it since then

pliant flume
#

hm interesting

remote lintel
#

and they intentionally made macros bad

shut panther
#

Macros being useless is such a bad design imho

pliant flume
#

true, haha, why put it in the game if players cant use it effectively

shut panther
#

Luckily illegal tools can get around some of the dumbest problems with them

remote lintel
#

not all of them are useless

#

and crafters use them a lot

#

and it's to stop botting

shut panther
#

I mean, even the useful ones are glitchy as hell

#

"to stop Botting" is an incredibly weak reason to make them as bad as they are when Botting absolutely runs rampant regardless, though

remote lintel
#

to further prevent botting from becoming a bigger issue

#

same reason why free trial players have all those social restrictions

shut panther
#

Making macros neigh useless doesn't actually prevent Botting at all though

remote lintel
#

it does from running dungeons

pliant flume
#

well, i think it's a new player's first instinct to macro abilities together if they have too many abilities to choose from, seems like ability bloat is a real thing on a few classes in this game

shut panther
#

If you don't actually need to be efficient (and bots absolutely do not) macros can do combat just fine

remote lintel
#

it really isn't

shut panther
#

And again.. there's plenty of bots, broken macro system or not

#

I'll be over here hugging my moactions for giving me basic UI functionality

remote lintel
#

and there's less bots in dungeons

#

you can't automate the game

#

you have to actually play

shut panther
#

You absolutely can automate the game, lmao

remote lintel
#

with mods sure

pliant flume
#

rn im playing PLD and it feels like i have too many abilities

remote lintel
#

you get used to it

shut panther
#

Well yes, that's sort of the point. You wouldn't be able to automate the game with functional macro, either.

#

There's no conditional system

remote lintel
#

they're not going to make macros better

shut panther
#

I'm just pointing out that their thought process is laughable.

remote lintel
#

and this isn't the channel for it

shut panther
#

But yeah, back to the point: don't use macros for combat abilities with a very limited list of exceptions -- the incredibly poor design makes it a terrible idea

pliant flume
#

yea, sounds good

#

I wish I could though, I come from WoW and Combat macros are a way of life

shut panther
#

The exceptions list is pretty small -- shirk macros are pretty standard

remote lintel
#

you have to actually play the game

atomic apex
#

So basically u cast 1 gcd then 2 ogcd on a 2.5 sec window then gcd asap and rinse and repeat?

remote lintel
#

press your buttons

#

@atomic apex basically

#

assuming you have ogcds to press

pliant flume
#

Eh, I do press buttons in wow, I think i have higher apm in that game

remote lintel
#

because tanks don't have high apm

atomic apex
#

Watching a youtube video on clipping and weaving

shut panther
#

Yeah lol functional macros are not about "pressing buttons" lol

shut panther
#

I don't have Paladin experience but I'm pretty sure it's the same principle -- you want to use the cooldown at ~1.5-1.7 into the previous gcd

#

So basically the cooldown animation lock finishes as your gcd rolls

#

Varies a bit depending on latency

At the very minimum throw poetics at your weapon

There's zero reason to not be using a poetics weapon until you get to like 74 or whenever endgame weapons start popping up

remote lintel
#

endgame weapons are 80

alpine quest
#

If you unlock bojza weapons at 80 through a tank class can you pick a dps weapon when it gives you the choice?

forest sage
#

well you need the poetic stuff to "buy" new weapons

#

if you finish the quest as tank, if you don't, you'll have to redo the quest as DPS to switch

remote lintel
#

you take the quest as the class you want the weapon for

warm snow
#

And you need to be lv80 to do the quest

shut panther
#

After the first weapon, later weapons just require 1000 poetics though

warm snow
#

Also just woke up, any patch notes yet?

shut panther
#

So if you complete the quest once on your tank and save 1000 poetics you can get the first tier relic immediately on your later class

poetics

forest sage

poetics ones, the "old expansion" tomes

shut panther
#

Poetics, the pre max level tomestone

if you have BLU you can farm like 550 of them in 5mins so that covers half a weapon

#

provided you haven't done the weeklies yet

scarlet heart
#

is it worth joining guilds

forest sage
#

yes, if only for the buffs

#

most FCs run 10% combat xp buff permanently with another buff on top(gathering or crafting xp quite often but can be other stuff)

warm snow
#

Patch download is up

forest sage
#

there's no penalties for leaving a FC, so if you don't care about that anymore/don't like people you can just leave after so no downside to joining a random one with big recruitment

silver ruin
#

atleast on primal

forest sage
#

that'd be a really weird thing to run

#

but I haven't seen a FC run that over combat xp

warm snow
#

Tp and combat are the most common fc buffs I see around, both are excellent for new players

forest sage
#

might be datacenter specific but most open recruitment FCs are about getting newbs in, and the combat xp buff is what newbs want

silver ruin
#

fair, probably data center ya

#

ive seen most primal fcs run the teleport buff cause it cuts 30% off the costs of all teleports and noobs dont normally have a lot of gil

max rank increases xp from beast tribe daillies though, they don't necessarily give the same xp if you're not maxed, but yeah they're nice enough to do while waiting for queues or whatever

can do moogles from 50 to 60, and birdbois earlier but that one's not great for lvling crafting iirc

silver ruin
#

expansion beast tribes are made to assume that you automatically have the base level for starting the expansion 50/60/70 respectively

forest sage
#

can probably level CUL on the cheap just to do these tbh

namazu beast tribe is available to level 60 crafters and gathers

yea mb was thinking shb

#

its 60 for stormblood stuff

fervent vale
#

just do the ixali beast tribe from 1-50

#

then moogle from 50-60

or if you have like 400k, pay someone to make you a levekit or buy mats for ishgard restoration

fervent vale
#

ixali is especially good because when you rank up more daily quests will open up so you can get multiple levels a day below 50

silver ruin
#

and you can get it to like

#

80 in a day KEKW

basically they make levequests items

#

and you turn them in

#

for levequests

#

since they're just normal items that are tradable

hoary fossil

silver ruin
#

but levekits normally have levels like 1-50 or 1-60 things like that etc

#

yea thats fair, idk about jp servers but na servers sometimes have people selling levekits for various levels that are cheaper to buy than stuff off the marketboard if you're looking to do a bunch of levels

#

like in na a levekit for cul for 1-80 could be 400k, but i could spend 600k on the market board buying the same stuff

fervent vale
#

keep in mind that while levekit is an option, but if you are looking to get beast tribe rewards such as mounts, emotes, and minions etc. You should just do them daily to get reputation with them and rank them up while gaining decent exp for your crafting/gathering jobs

i tihnk thats from a combat tribe

fervent vale

you can go back to them after you reach max level but personally I don't find that as efficient

hoary fossil

One message removed from a suspended account.

fervent vale
#

yeah that's from the snake tribe in stormblood

silver ruin
#

honestly it depends, like, at higher levels you can 2 button hq synth stuff etc so it depends what your goal is

#

i found going back after leveling to be more efficient for me because i had to spend less time doing it

#

each day

#

but i also wanted to craft endgame stuff so that played a big part in how i did it

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

silver ruin
#

yea

#

i levelled my doh/dol classes to 80 to craft 80 stuff mostly, then i went back and did beast tribes for several reasons, one of which was: trained eye lets you 100% hq anything 10 levels lower in one button

hoary fossil
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

silver ruin
#

and some of the beast tribe doh/dol classes require hq things so instead of 4 buttons or whatever to hq it , i hit 1(trained eye), then another to complete the craft, so i had to spend less time doing it each day

#

but if you're on a budget and wanna level the doh/dol classes beast tribes are a good way to do that

Should I not be worrying about DoH/DoL leveling till a certain point? Whenever I get tired of questing I’ve just been spending time crafting. But I’m pretty new to the game so I’m not sure if my time is best spent.

I mean, if that's what you want to do is not really a waste of time

silver ruin

its not really a waste of time either way though

jaunty mason
#

whats the difference between them?

shut panther
#

Nothing about being higher level combat really makes creating easier except for zone and materials access

jaunty mason
#

only the color and name?

silver ruin
shut panther
#

No big difference, they're all dyeable

silver ruin
#

so

#

name mostly

jaunty mason
#

oohh, is it permanent in the store?

Soooo... I haven’t touched the game since late summer of 2015. Just yesterday I decided, since endwalker is releasing soon, that after 5 years of not playing, NOW would be the perfect time to hop in. The problems is that it’s been 5 years since I played the game and feel super lost and have honestly forgotten how to play or how I should go about figuring it out >~< can anyone here kinda guide me or direct me on what my next steps should be?

for bozja, my friend is really confused on relic steps. he says he "can't progress dnc until he completes castrum, and gnb is on the first step of needing 60 memories (3 kinds of 20 each, which how does the game decide which ones you get from bozja fates????) if you do the hw fate zones for them, they're determined by which zone you're in in bozja it's just critical engagements how does it know which ones you have or how much or what you need"

excellent ty, do you know which is which for the memories? it didn't say in game, he said

shut panther
#

I don't recall off hand, I want to say that the order inventory sort places them in South/centre/North but I'm not sure

#

The most efficient way to farm them is to cluster farm all 3 zones at once with split groups

ephemeral node locations have been shifted

they're permanent locations now

that only spawn in the given time

That might be it

I'm pretty sure I do, I do custom deliveries and thats collectible right?

little swift

and this message from the pins has the updated locations

shut panther

It is, that leaves me at "you're using old locations information"

most likely then.

#

Noobie question here, what exactly is direct hit?

shut panther
#

Providing you've done all of your quests

little swift
#

direct hit is like a mini-critical hit

#

does more damage at a fixed multiplier

#

increasing the stat will increase the chance

granite hound
#

Oki, tysm

shut panther
#

Direct hit is chance to deal 25% bonus damage, stacks with crits

#

Increased stat = increased chance, unlike Crit which increases both chance and strength

I found a Ephemeral Node, now I just need to find the right one, hehe.
