Returning player with <5 hours/week to play. I want to prepare for endwalker. Iโm finishing up patch 5.2 onwards and leveling classes in between. Should I prioritize leveling a class for every role or all classes in my main role first?
it really doesn't matter @red torrent just level whatever job you find to be fun
As someone split between Paladin and Warrior, what should I be aware of? Assuming that I play 85% of the time solo
if you want to experience all the role quests though, you could level 1 job of each type since they have different quests in shadowbringers
Story wise it's best to have one of each role
Like warrior looks cooler, but Paladin seems like such a tanky boy
Both are viable and used in all content
paladin might be better if you want to solo old content
Does the dps trait give warrior a huge upper hand in solo play?
Not sure if trait is the right word
Strictly speaking at the absolute cutting edge Paladins have a miniscule dps advantage, and are more likely to off tank than main tank
Paladins actually deal more damage at the top end right now
Oh damn unexpected okay
It's absolutely miniscule though
Fair
We're talking like <2%
And top tier gameplay, I'm a shmuck lmao
Guess I'll go warrior then, if the stats are that close
Paladins might be better at soloing content because of clemency, but Warriors are also extremely good at it
Now that nascent Flash doesn't need a target
And by solo, are you talking old instances or just world quests/Fates
Strictly old instances
paladins also have HG, which helps with certain mechanics in older fights as well
compared to holm
tbh tho balance is extremely good in this game, everything is very close together and everything is viable. if you have trouble choosing, either "play what you think looks the coolest" or "play both"
Yeah moral of the story here is absolutely "choose the one that appeals aesthetically"
at the end of the day, you can level them both up to max and if you find out that you enjoy one's gameplay over the other, then play that one more
not sure if you know, but you can level every job on 1 char in this game

sorry i got that wrong.
anyone here from aether who also plays on elemental? i'm in australia and play on aether, which i love for its active community, but i'm thinking about picking up an alt on a more local server (jp language is fine) like kujata and wondering how raiding and whatnot compares over there
with the new patch, should I still run void ark and other alliance raid?
do you guys still do doman enclave every week, even after finishing it?
@nova umbra Yes, free 40k
I do it when I remember as I pass through to bozja
it's usually more like 19k too cause of teleport costs
Despite having hundreds of millions
Might stop now that I've run out of the 5000 Gil demimatetia though
Yes, the drop rate on the fates is not 100%, so you should still queue for the raids and just do fates while you wait for that step
Don't math us smh
what happens if you mimicry a crafter/gatherer?
Nothing
dang, and yet their battle/victory stance is paladin ๐ค
what would be cheaper to level culinarian, goldsmith or alchemist?
If you want cheapest leveling of crafters you kinda want to do them all at the same time
wdym
Well a lot of crafting recipes use materials from different crafting classes except culinarian
so for example....if you leveled goldsmith
you might need cloth and leather still
Guys I did this hair dresser quest line and it says that I can find it in inns
and definitely alchemist items
but I cant find anyone ๐ฆ
and if you don't level the crafters at the same time then you won't be able to make those alchemist items you need for goldsmith items
so you'd have to buy it
for a lot
from other players
I see, ty
also there is the aspect when it comes to making your own leveling gear
instead of buying it
and crafting is really easy to level up so it's not too bad to do them all at once
If you HAD to pick one crafter I'd do cul or alc since they don't really need other crafting class items
You're not putting steel ingots in your soup or wax 
lol, how much gil would you say it would take to go from 1-80 for cul or alc?
depends on how shittily you're wasting your gil
if you're just buying leve items and giving them into levemetes
a metric fuck ton
@leaden ginkgo there's a barber bell in your inn
Also how expensive your server is
it calls the fancy guy to your room
if you're only getting what you can't craft or is a real ballache to craft...100 thousand maybe
if you're getting all the materials because you can't gather it for some reason
uhh
for a single crafter?
for alc is probably more expensive in that regard
idk
some of those items are bullshit like holy water
somewhere in single digit millions
Holy water from lvl 51 recipe?
It was a pain to deal with in 2014, still just as painful now
how many haunted memory of dying should i farm?
ah, alrighty cool, yeah, was just planning to do single crafter, this is pretty solid advice thanks
you need 18 for the quest so... 18
The quest is one time so 18 nothing more
i see ty2
there's also that one alchemy item that's annoying to make..
How do you bring up the class guide for samurai like this one
So do drop rates for relic FATE's suck less?
!faq samguide
Boxer's Beginner's Guide:
http://bit.ly/SAM-Guide
Jahaudant's Shadowbringers Compendium:
http://bit.ly/SAM-Compendium
from the patch yeah.. but they didn't specify how much increases in droprate -_-
Sam doesn't really have a rotation leveling guide though
since Black Mage is the only one where it changes a lot while leveling
is the only place to exchange allied seals at the blue mage sahagin and the GC hunt npcs?
yeahhh
How do I sell on the market btw? I finally checked in on it, and could only see buy options
Simultaneously, how do I increase bag size? Gonna do some gathering later but default space is fairly tight
unlock ur retainer and sell stuff through them
the answer is retainers, and retainers
just to clarify - at what point does Addle/Feint take effect?
And not keeping every piece of garbage you can find
like is 'any point in or before the cast bar as long as it's active for the damage going out' fair game?
before the bar fills past 80%
It needs to be on before the cast bar is full, like every other buff or debuff
after that the skill will clip and nothing takes effect
feint you can use it anytime, since it also negates auto attack I think
riiiight. so just 2 seconds or so before damage output?
addle just before magical which most raidwide are...
and feint idc really, imagine playing melee
the logistic of addling e10s dualspell just threw me for a loop
yoooooo, fishing professionals
the new fish eyes. does it work on legendary timed fish? because ive been at this hole for hours now and no luck
i note it says "has no effect on some fish" any onw know what fish this refers to?
it only works in areas up to HW iirc, and it only removes the time requirement, and doesn't work on the special fishes of each expansion that are part of the optional quests
so I just did a duty the whorleater and got 0 experience?
what dungeons can I do to get exp?
lv 50/60/70 barely gives exp hehe
actual dungeons, trials aren't dungeons
1-49
also yeah not cap dungeons
doesnt the exp scale down because im a higer level?
but not sure what you need xp for, just do the MSQ? if you're leveling an alt and at 50, you can do potd until 51 then 51 dungeon
1-49 / 51-59 / 61-69 so on
oh okay got you
the xp doesn't scale so you want to do the closest dungeon
but 50/60/70 stuff gives little xp cause it's not designed for lvling
right ๐
so doing the previous dungeon is more xp(aurum vale for ARR for example)
one leveling roulette and some daillies or something will get you past 50 to 51 where you get a new dungeon giving a ton of xp though
does this give me exp?
trials hehe, avoid that
trials aren't for lvling, other than the roulettes
its lvl 49 tho confusion in my brain ๐ hehe
dungeons are
yeah roulette is must do before doing dungeons
Are there any News for FF14 coming to xbox ? Cause years again they talked about FF14 coming xbox and they are still talking about that, but i cant wait anymore ๐
this isn't a dungeon
ohhh ๐
even if it's 50/60/70 one, it stlil gives decent exp
so its the level 41 one sorry
the highest ARR dungeon pre 50 is Aurum Vale
which is 47
you have to do the quest to unlock it
okay dokey doo sir
is there a better way to get exp than quing for dungeons?
apart from msq
!faq altlvlguide
i usually just do roulette once a day o_o
When will I be able to unlock mounts?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Lol
so close
Hi! Does anyone know how i can unlock estate teleportation? I create a new character to visit a friend's house in Shirogane estate but there is an error that says "Unable to execute command" when I try to TP to any estate
The owner of the house needs to go into the estate settings and enable teleportation
ahh! I guess the people i tried TP-ing too all had their teleportation off T_T

You can only actually teleport to a friend's house
If you can't teleport to a ward, I'm guessing something is messed up with lag or you don't have the housing district unlocked
ahh I thought i needed to do a quest or smth similar to be able to do that. As I only did the initial quest (attune with aetheryte etc)
ay, quick question here:
FFXIV is currently 50% off on the playstation store, and I'm currently playing the free trial on pc
if I were to buy the game on the PS store could I play it on pc ?
What would a basic conjurer rotation look like in a dungeon?
Would I just spam cure and medica?
I didn't either until I started playing this game
But Healers in FFXIV are also DPS
So your basic Conjurer rotation in a dungeon is Stone spam, refreshing Aero every 15s
Cure on the tank as required
While you're still a Conjurer there's pretty much no content where Medica will be needed if I'm not mistaken
Also, Repose and Fluid Aura - just drop them off your hotbar, they're actually worthless
You lose nothing by not having either skill
I see, so I only need to worry about healing the tank?
For the most part, yes - all tanks by Lv 15 have an AoE and a tank stance that makes it pretty much impossible to pull aggro off the tank
Good stuff
I think I might level my tank today. I have a gladiator and conjurer you see.
Oh would you look at that
Babeh, you're still... too inexperienced. Your information is not exactly accurate.
Here comes the resident WHM main
@golden ferry As a WHM, a healing class, your priority should always be to keep the party alive. You'll get more tools to do this as you go, but make sure to read the tooltips to see exactly what your spells do. While you don't need to necessarily keep the entire party at 100% HP all the time, it is a good idea to know where your limits are so that you can do damage while also filling your role as healer.
do alliance raid yeield exp?
Everything yields exp
But they don't give that much no
Not a lot.
I just ran all three parts of Crystal Tower as WHM
i did a level 50 thing that only gave currencies
Alliance raids are endgame content, so much like 50/60/70 dungeon, they're not designed to give xp.

alliance roulette does give exp, but beyond that the raids don't give much
Catching up since I took a break for a little while, but I assume Landsaint/Handsaint gear isn't BiS since it can't be melded?
is duty roulete the best way to get exp ๐
First time per reset roulettes are a good way to get xp in general.
what's a good use for the nuts you get from SHW hunts
However once you've done your first per reset, doing your highest-level leveling dungeons are going to be better.
Cosmetics if that's what you're into, or materia/upgrade items if those are available.
okee thanks
Guys why do i get "Screenshot failed"?
how do I start crafting? i only have one crafting ability which tell me I need to be crafting to use it?
Are you equipped as a crafter?
yeah ๐
probably not running the game as admin while trying to save a screenshot in a folder/directory that requires admin
You have to choose a recipe to craft in your Crafting Log
I see. I'll try it Vis. But before this maintenance was doing fine
okay cheers ๐
what did the current small update add?
did they fix relic material drop rate?
They did increase drop rates in Bozja and some FATEs and added more rewards to Castrum
And mettle
not sure what it is, but I expect it to be roughly on par with doing an alliance raid roulette
Why is it so hard to find a small laid back free company that is beginner friendly?
if I buy crafting gear on the marketboard, can I equip it or is it locked to a certain level?
works the same as normal gear can't equip it if you aren't at the right lvl
oh okay thanks
is it possible to solo Alexender normal with BLU? ๐ฎ
wouldn't be surprised if so
GUys im playing the Free trail and got done with ARR , I want to play arcanist . WHat is the best way to lvl him up?
you do still have more msq on the free trial you know - but, you should do hunt logs, dungeons, or Palace of the Dead to level
or just your roulettes
!faq altlevelguide
hunt log and fates till 15/16, dungeons/potd/roulettes after
thanks guys
what was the hotfix for ?
Doman Reconstruction is just donating weekly and see it grow?
@plain python ye , do a quest here n there too
Oh wow so u get 5 loathsome memories from castrum?
guys can someone tell me why ATC not working
Time to do some castrum
how much does tsukuyomi's moonlit grimoire usually run for?
around 1.5mil iirc
good gods...
ACT breaks every single patch
wait a day and there will be an update(there's a beta too available on the ACT discord earlier if you're in a hurry)
Where is it
where could i find the beta

So, this is going to sound super stupid.
But I've been playing for 4 months and finally got into patch 5.4 - I'm interested in finding a static because my FC doesn't want to do things like raiding/savage content etc. But I don't really know where to start besides getting my total item lvl up first for my preferred jobs.
short answer? exarchic
Might be difficult to get a static for the current tier as most people who do savage have already cleared. But you're best bet is to ask around either in game or online in places like the Balance
i'd say that's not true, quite a few people are still starting brand new statics
And yea if you have gil just buy the current tier of crafted gear off the MB
make sure you keep an eye on recruitment boards and such
Sounds like a plan lol
Thank you
I joined a brand new static last week so yeah
but a lot of the recruiting ones are definitely on the higher tiers
that said you can start learning/clearing in PF, I did E9S and E10S in PF in a few days(last week too)
Balance discord sometimes has a "starting BiS" type set, that shows the easily obtainable gear to get started, it's generally a mix of Exarchic(crafted) and Eden normal, with now some Bozja stuff mixed in if you can get that(Judge armor) and Emerald/Tome/Relic weapon
I'll definitely look into it!
Beginner question...Can I ask what to do with the low level equipment (1-20) besides extracting materia?
where can I find the outlandish man in revenants toll?
i need to do crystal tower quests
keep for other classes, vendor, desynth(need to have related craft at 30+ and you get some crappy materials back, not worth it imo unless you already have it lvled), green/pink gear can also be traded for GC seals once you have Expert Delivery unlocked
He's right next to the aetheryte
if you don't see him, you might have already picked up the quest. It's called The Legacy of Allag
reventant toll is in mor dhona
as long as u in the over world u donโt get kicked
How long does it take for CLL to spawn ?
what is over world?
Whats overworld?
Just... everywhere that's not in a dungeon
stuff like la nosca, cities
so xiv won't auto kick?
Kick what?
if i just leave it on all day?
Depends
or do I still have to use auto clicker?
It shouldn't now
so long it's not a special instances like bozja, diadem, firmament or duty
During when theres a new big thing and there are a lot of players
They had it for Shadowbringers launch because servers were packed, but I haven't been kicked for months now
You will get kicked
oh okay guess I will still use my autoclicker
When Endwalker comes out in fall they will probably kick afk players for a few months
if you're not endwalking you can take a walk
i decided to return to ffxiv and got a sub but now i'm lost. i have completed the heavensward questline and now i'm on "the eye of the beholder" which is a part of the "as light goes, so does darkness" questline. i'm playing scholar but i think i want to try summoner. what is the best way to get the gear i need to continue the questline as a summoner? also is there any reason not to accept the "return bounty" for now?
You should either buy Ironworks + marketboard HQ gear, or buy Shire gear
there's no reason not to accept it, can cancel early if you want to leave novice network or hide the channel
I'm not sure if that's HW 3.0 or 3.x
and for gear yeah you buy poetics gear, you get poetics doing roulette and old cap content
if you advance your MSQ you'll also get gear so you can do a few quests as SCH until you have enough stuff for SMN
and obviously you can just buy things on the market to fix any holes
make sure you do your SMN job quests too for skills
alright so i have 2k poetics (capped)
what ilvl items can i get from them? currently my scholar has 170ilvl stuff mostly
are you 60?
yes
then buy augmented shire gear
then Shire from Idylshire if you have advanced the story enough
or from the sundrys splendor npc in ishgard
i have completed the heavensward quests a google search showed me i am currently on "post heavensward quests"
then yeah youll be fine
yeah so you can get Shire, go to one of the 2 towns, find the poetics vendor and buy a full set
note for weapons it's a different category than the rest of the gear(in Idylshire, it's the Token vendor instead of the Tomestone vendor)
just talk to the npc in ishgard
they come augmented and theyre all from the same vendor
alright what kind of gear should i get?
casting
get the weapon, chest, and legs first
Augmented shire casting
The one with intelligence
wait no shire doesn't use the standard naming scheme
Uhhh fuck
Philosophers iirc
you can just select the category
whats the best way to cap revs in a day?
do your 80 roulettes then spam matoyas relict, i would assume
ty
fastest way is to get on a hunt train
would i be allowed to ask about setting up ACT here?
sure, although ACT is broken currently since there was a new patch a few hours ago
oh, i picked a bad time to figure this out then lol
oh
he's switching from scholar
i misread
then yeah select the magic dps instead of healer
oh yeah misread that you were showing the window
well maybe this will be unrelated. Im following a guide and got to this part
get the weapon, body and trousers first they give the most stats
but my act looks completely different
what is this guide
who is that vendor?
admittedly i misread, i thought it was updated 18 days ago, i now notice it says the uploader was last active 18 days ago
theyre like 20 feet from the ishgard aetheryte
you got tricked by google I think @fast talon https://github.com/FFXIV-ACT/setup-guide try this
yep i just found that now on a re-googling, thanks
yeah seems whatever i found was outdated, though at least the first few steps seem to still be the right order (firewall, admin, etc)

found her
is there guide to getting mettle early on? trying to climb from rank 4-5 seems to be kinda blegh, since skirmishes dont appear that often
@forest sage you said earlier that ACT is broken because of the new patch, broken how exactly? As in I won't be able to see if it's working umtil a new version is up?
it won't pick up info from the game because the plugin is not updated with the current ingame hooks
but it'll launch and you can configure some stuff
just you won't be able to parse anything basically
Ah okay. When ACT gets updated, do i have to re-setup everything or does it auto update on its own.
you can get the beta plugin on the FFXIV ACT Discord
it'll ask you when it finds an update, the config stays the same
it just downloads the plugin then ask to relaunch ACT and then it works
okay, dope. thanks for the help.
Hey! Is patch day reset (Tomes of Revelation) separate from weekly reset? Meaning that I can run Expert twice today?
i got weapon, legs and chest i have for some more is it the same what i get after that?
probably helm/gloves/feet, then accessories and belt
ty
yes you can, but i believe daily reset is in like 6 minutes....
!reset
0 Days, 0 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
0 Days, 5 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
6 Days, 17 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
2 Days, 17 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
4 Days, 11 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
4 Days, 5 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
3 Days, 22 Hours, 4 Minutes, 56 Seconds
yea, as you can see weekly reset is tuesday at 12AM PST
aka 7 hours before now
daily reset is every day at 4 minutes from now
Gotcha! Thank you for the info :)
Hello, does anyone know how I can tell ffxiv to use specific ports to open a connection to disable upnp?
#technology-discussion is probably a better channel for that type of question
do we have a trading section here
or where i can request a crafter for something like pentamelding exarchic gear
How worthwhile are the levequests?
Trash for combat
Yeah
Great for crafters and gatherers
Only good for leveling crafters and gatherers
One way yes
Do the buffs make SB fate farms viable? Also, how many revelation does CLL grant?
ah ty!
how do people get ingrimm to glow?
Go through the steps/quests to upgrade it
starting from?
In Gangos, either Gerolt or Zlatan depending on where you are in the quest chain
ok ty
!faq blmguide
But whats priority
Are you going high speed or high crit
both are equally viable but it's basically stacking crit or stacking spell speed respectively
Hmm if I want high speed then I just stack spell speed materias?
melding a bunch of sps is fine yeah
It's the only caster which really enjoys that much spell speed though so you're going all in on BLM if you do
Ok So as a WHM first Timer for Castrum, any lost Actions and items that I may need to bring
potions and auto rez but it's pretty easy as long as one to two parties know what to do
Steelsting is useful for increasing caster DPS on melee weak bosses
Death is also nice
okay so now that castrum is overpopulated, i actually ended up not getting picked for it after waiting for an hour for it to spawn. anyway my question, how does the bozja priority thing work. is it a buff that only works for x amount of time, an item i use, or what?
im lvl 75 can i get good gear by this coin
Nope
Its a buff for an hour
Hey i dont see approved grade 4 skybuilders ore but i jus bought some yesterday
On the MB
If I see castrum is available, buy the priority, and then register, will the priority apply for castrum?
Yes
sorry im still confused - will this duty yield exp for me?
Trials give extremely minimal xp
is a trial just a boss batlle?
how do the servers work in this game?
@mild lark yes a trial is just a boss battle. usually you only do the "normal "mode when you're forced to during the story. they also have a hard/extreme version which is usually for weapons and a mount
thanks - is there a way to filter the marketboard results in terms of price or ilevel etc?
by default they're sorted by ilvl
but no way to sort by price as each item opens its own tab. which is then all sorted by price
Is house purchasing time random?
Yes
Completely random and invisible
alright, thanks. annoyed that i waited for castrum for an hour and didnt even get in. yet yesterday i had to attempt it with 19 people
Who would have guessed that buffing castrum makes people join it
5 crystals
do i lose the memories if i abandon the shb relic quest? i wanna do the quest for another class first
my black crystal is only ilevel 30 - is there a way to upgrade that do you think?
No
so im safe to switch ?
Yes
ok neat , thanks
im amazed that it didnt have an experience reward prior to today
yeah I'm not sure why it took so long to make castrum worth doing
is there a way to get crafting recipies or do you just learn it once you level up?
you learn most of them, and there are also 8 master recipe books
Mostly by levelling. There's additional receipes at the old level caps in master books
learn most automatically*
thanks ๐
Yea but even if an item is not for sale wouldnt it still appear in the search results?
I think so. Check the spelling?
I just got the gunbreaker class. is it normal to not get any xp at level 60?
Like ive seen items i wanted and noone was sellin but they still appeared in the search
wym not get any exp
You just unlocked iy
did you do any quests or anything to gain exp?
Can you provide a screenshot of your search for the ore?
which gear would u guys recommend upgrading? lvl 51 samurai , got most basic armor and weapon i received when i became samurai and like really low ilvl accs (5-30)
was thinking to get accessories
get ironworks gear
Get Ironworks gear
I'm about to do a quest but my item level isn't as strong as it says for this duty
i got like 800 poetics
get shire gear @full latch
where that\
idyllshire
Idyllshire
Yes
ty
Weapon>chest/legs>helm/gloves/boots>belt/accs
I'm trying to do home world transfer and it giving me - An unexpected error has occurred. is that normal no explanation giving or the servers are full Hyperion>Leviathan
When is 6.0 being released?
fall
who do I speak to?
When is fall?
september-november
Like US fall?
yes?
what?
Thanks
as opposed to southern hemisphere
you can also buy ironworks gear from a vendor located next to the aetheryte of the 3 ARR cities
rowena
Q3 is "fall" for businesses.
they need shire gear not ironworks

in that case there's a vendor by the Ishgard aetheryte too
if you completed HW
You only have to get to Idyllshire.
is it really worth the upgrade? i am still new, just wondering ๐ the difference is really small in my eyes ๐
You don't have to complete HW to access the Shire gear vendor.
9 weapon damage is extremely massive
Only SB locks the tome gear that way.
really?
huh
Anything above 2 weapon damage increase is massive
wow.
Weapon damage is king
i didn't expect that.
Its literally the best stat in the game
isn't weapon damage only for AutoAttack?
You're going to deal increased damage every time you attack, so yeah, it will add up over time
No
no
Its EVERYTHING
Weapon damage is very nearly the most important stat in the game.
All damage up, all healing you do up
Aside from your class's primary stat.
By a massive scale
1 weapon damage alone makes it automatically better than lower weapons
Weapon damage adds to the base number that your attack and healing potencies scale off.
In 99.9% of situations
thanks for explanation, it didn't look that much tbh ๐
the pain of playing 3 classes.... now i need 3 weapons.. ๐
In time that won't really be a problem.
The game throws poetics at you once you start unlocking the various level cap roulettes (50/60/70 dungeon, Alliance raid, MSQ, and Normal raid)
Nearly every post-patch instance rewards you with some quantity of poetics just for doing them.
yeah i can easily make 500 poetics today thanks to daily roulette and msq
more than that
Alliance raid and 50/60/70 roulette reward a base 100 poetics (+ whatever value you get from the specific instance)
that's just the bonus
Yeah. You can literally cap poetics just doing roulettes for 2 days.
It's very very easy.
and for alliance raids it's fairly easy to get the new player bonus reward if you get CT because everyone ahs to do them
i dunno , should i focus on gearing 1 character first?
you dont need a full set of ironworks
You should generally focus on leveling a single class at a time for story progression.
you can level multiple classes on a preferred server
i do that
Just buy more gear to get ilevel as you get poetics.
i have paladin summoner at 58 and samuari at 52
As I said, they'll come to you very easily.
will do , thanks ๐
The Ironworks gear will last you until the level 55 dungeon, and can stretch as far as the point where you can buy Shire gear.
i doubt i can even get a sniff at shire gear....
i just started doing poetics dungeons
By the time you get to Idyllshire in the MSQ, you'll have enough poetics for Shire gear.
Trust me.
Especially if you're doing roulettes daily.
Holie just got over 1 level form a single dungeon
yeah poetics wont be an issue, but msq takes a while
yeah i do all dailies every day
even pvp ones.
MSQ takes forever but you get enough exp to compensate for that
From the beginning of HW to the point where you get to Idyllshire is actually fairly fast.
great!
not like theres any reason to rush anyway
Also true.
how do i write a macro to make people aware that trick attack is up ?
you can make a recast macro but i dont know how people use them
Are you talking about one that tells you when TA is available to use, or one that tells the party when you've used it?
Because those are two different types of macro.
is there a way to make multiple craftings without goign back to the craftings menu>
@open coral the latter , like a text popping up with sound that tells everyone TA was used
i mean its possible but it would also suck
and they should be able to use their eyes anyway
/ac "Trick Attack"
/p Trick Attack has been used! <se.6>
/micon "Trick Attack"

@mild lark not really. most items you can do "quick synthesis" after youve made it once to make as many at a time as possible. but not all items can do that. and you dont get the opportunity to make them HQ
thanks a lot :)@open coral
ahh okay thanks
i dont have enough CP to make anything high quality yet i dont think
But yeah. You shouldn't need a macro to tell people that the window is up.
Because they can (theoretically) see the debuff on the boss.
If you're not using trick every 60s you fail as a Ninja
yeah but ive seen plenty of people burning through their cds without my TA buff
then tell them
well, at high level play. dunno if pugs know what trick attack is
I mean, that's gonna happen in pugs.
In dungeons people burn and misalign stuff cause of trash packs
i guess thats true
But in raids and stuff things should be aligning naturally
if you do decide to make that TA macro
1 important thing to do is repeat the /ac line a bunch
I mean, as long as you put the /ac line first it's usually okay.
and on the last on you put <wait.1> before you put the message
so that you're not flooding chat
especially with the sound effect
nothing is natural in roulettes XD
what's the best way to get a feel of a multiplayer content? I'm on a Trial Version with a level 20 character. I joined a few 4-player battles on a Roulette, and I'm kinda confused... I'm new to MMO. Any pointers for a Trial player?
@little swift uhm do you mind telling me exactly how to write it ? ive never used macros before

i would say overall though that its not worth for a TA macro to be made
you're gimping yourself of the natural queue that a skill can have
and you should be using it off cooldown anyways
^
Mhm
besides specific encounter adjustments
if others aren't lining burst for that window
Macro wont help dumbasses who dony know what trick is
they're monkeys and its not your fault
buff stacking is something to pursue for statics, in random groups it's incredibly unlikely to happen organically
And as several of us have said, people should also be paying attention to the debuff.
And people who do are doing their rotation and will naturally align with it
It's not your job to police other people.
If they want to handicap themselves, that's on them.
in regular content
the the % the chance of it being a high quality item?
worry about your own play, not others
@mild lark yes
yes @mild lark
So play the Main story? What lvl is the dungeon?@remote lintel
your first dungeon is at 15
The first dungeon becomes available during the level 15 MSQ.
then you get 2 more after that
You get two almost immediately after at level 16 and 17
Those "four player" battles you've done were probably the dungeons.
This is a somewhat non-standard MMO in that the MSQ locks nearly all content behind it. If you follow the
you'll eventually experience the larger part of what the game has to offer.
thanks! I thought it was a character Lvl 15 for a moment, haha. I'll follow the MSQ then.
the only thing character level unlocks is some expansion jobs
Character level is largely irrelevant. So long as it equals or exceeds the level of the MSQ you're doing, you should have few issues.
and like a few lvl 50 dungeons
One thing I'll add, that many new players miss is that you should be doing your class quests every 5 levels back at your guild (until level 30 - after which they'll be at a new location that you'll be directed to). Those lock important class skills and you'll be handicapped without some of them.
When does the act update come ?
a couple days
is it possible to disable this on login somehow?
Class quests and novice training from a Smith are great. Without it I'd be clueless.
awesome, thanks!
Building off that, I assume there isn't a way to totally disable the achievements near completion
no you cant
really need that XD
Where can I see the patch notes of today's patch? Or there are none
lodestone
Okay, gonna look, since launcher said nothing I thought there weren't. Thanks!
Oh, so, the ACT thing doesn't seem to be working. Is that because the game updated today, and therefore I need a new version of ACT?
the dev needs to fix it
it breaks after every update/patch so get used to it
Makes sense.
what determines the statue a world gets in ishgard for restoration
the crafter class that got the most points or whatever
the points from the rankings, we dont know if only last season or all
Can someone explain me Dawon boss mechanics from CLL
is there a way to craft a ~~bronze ~~brass ingot please?
he does a cross or a donut
What's difficult about them
obey shows you which ones are crosses and which ones are donuts
Just follow the crowd
They're just as bad as me
when he does the plumage thing the red feathers are point blank aoes and the white feathers are donut aoes
What about those meters whatever they are
when he does the feathers with wind the feathers switch quadrants
what meters
obey?
he does 4 of those
the number of bars is the order theyre in
the symbol is what attack it is
the cross is a cross attack
the circle is a donut attack
o means stand inside his hitbox at that marker
the x depends on the direction he's facing
so just don't be at his cardinal positions
he'll always do 2 of each
the markers also pop up in order
but the order isn't the same every time
Oh ok, I always die at that part and ppl I follow dont seem to know either
So we all die together
just pay attention to what order they pop up and what attack it is
Why won't the "idle imperial" in azys la play triple triad with me
?

Looks like you basically need to finish the Azys Lla portion of the MSQ to make it available
Question where can i advertise myself, im searching for a party to do ultimates?

Guys on the chaos server what is the best world to join? Iโm currently in spriggan
any except moogle if youre looking for an english world
Aha okay what about most populated ?
all of them
Hey guys. So hopefully I'll be getting a laptop soon to play ffxiv (I've been playing on ps4 for all this time) but now that 6.0 will be coming out idk if I should wait for that so I can get a special deal to buy the full game with expansions or should I just buy the game rn
You need yi aee "dodge" on your flying text
Aka you need accuracy downs or evasion up
Via like Breathtaker
Kinda
You can cheese it. Mainly for duels
Using it is part of duel speedruns
Or using constant room damage like castrum 2nd boss tornados
I'm not sure tbh. Will there be a good deal or smthing with freebies when 6.0 comes out ?
Font of power/magic+ banner of Noble ends/Sacrfice
Usually
As generic dps
- dps essense
Is the bozja armor better than the 520 armor you get from tombs of rev?
No
@leaden ginkgo unlikely they would give out things for free
Its 510 with law gear
Is the ACT working?
What about the 1% per haste..seems like 10% haste is pretty significant
the complete edition tends to sit around the same price outside of sales, just up to you if you want to spend extra money on the expac and monthly fee or just coast on freebie until then
Ok Guys I'm about to do my First run of DR 24 man, what lost actions do I take with me into DR?
I seem to not be able to turn on the dps meter thing
That only works inside bojza
no
Act breaks on patches
there was just a hotfix
oh ok
Aoes don't hurt enough to kill you in normal mode
depends on class but unless youre MT probably ones that up damage for your class
With Sacrifice bring resistance pots if you're scared
Well I'm playing as a WHM
Friends, I need someone who settles for me (Glitch) in my house in chose Spriggan plz ๐๐ anyone?
@strange coral I'm literally in post shadow bringers endgame ๐
Aetherweaver + whatever you want...font of magic + banner for more dps
@remote lintel @naive kraken alright ty
Just noble ends then
And get healed up after
If you're super scared just use Beast essense
The lifesteal works through Noble ends
Dont bother with focus
Its a meme
Its a meme for just big lost slash hits
Font of power will win out
Over focus
is there any reason to do dungeons like Halatali (HARD) or copperbell mines (HARD) ?
ah they will add there right?
Well people are doing castrum now so you'll get more fontd
So what is Blue Mage exactly?
But it's not like a proper class you can queue as?
And you don't level it normally, right? You have to do specific tasks to unlock spells or something?
You farm overworld mobs to level
For spells you find mobs/enemies who use it and wait for them to cast it before killing it
For a chance to learn it
And what makes it so good for farming?
A ton of instsnt kills
oh
And really high potency attacks
Neat
!action Ultravibration
KOs all nearby enemies afflicted with Deep Freeze or Petrification. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own, and certain others.
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.
By manipulating aether to imitate the minute wingbeats of a kongamato, a caster generates an ultrasonic wave which ripples visibly through the surrounding air. The vibrations are lethal to frozen or petrified targets, causing them to shatter with dramatic force.
Kongamato / The Peaks (11, 25)
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 1
Example
Sounds like a fun thign to waste time on
Guaranteed instant kill in an aoe on frozen mobs
I can only cast so many rocks before i get bored of leveling WHM
On mobs that can be instantly killed
That sounds dope tho
oh
Deals an unaspected eightfold attack, each hit with a potency of 50.
Potency is increased to 100 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: DPS.
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.
A variety of magic employed by New World voidsent, this spell pummels the target with a barrage of incandescent orbs. Its name, likely familiar to scholars of the arcane, is said to have once encompassed the Whalaqee arts of near-death curses and converting life force into mana.
Learn 100 spells.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
800 potency attack as dps mimic
Like how much of a time sink is it? Like worse than Relic Weapons?
Anybody know whats up with this 45gb ps4 download for version 8.82 of FF1xiv?
Like having to go through two downloads for one update
That stinks. Thats so much space for a hotfix.
Cause the "copying" process of some shiz
My rural internet is crying lol.
The achievements it shows me when I login...? Are they just like trophies, or does meeting them give exp or other good stuff? I literally donโt care about trophies/hitting every achievement. Not at my baby level.
you can turn it off
Items yes pls! titles nah. If thereโs x million players in the world, I am probably ranked number x million-47.
There's no real ranking
Literally why did I just express something algebraically
do we know if the dlc later this year is going to raise the max level again?

If you're there for FATEs, you'll not have time for cluster farming since FATEs pop up too often. If you're there for cluster farming you absolutely don't want to waste time on FATEs.
