Is there a way of skipping the cutscenes but reading the script after? i press escape, in the event log, it just shows the script up until i left. i want to know the sotry but not at the snails pace of the drama-free cutscenes.

no, only way to get the script is to watch it again via the unending journey or NG+
i dont think theres an actual script written out somewhere besides those books that are jp exclusive that are coming out for fanfest this year

theres probably summary videos somewhere but thats about it

Hunt trains

You can also get gear from eden raids and nier raids

Go around and kill Shadowbringers A/S ranks
You can also get a free 485 weapon if youve done the lv70 24mans
twilit arch
yes
leaden ginkgo
Can I do it unsynced, too?
twilit arch
if you go in as pld, it'll take like 13 runs max
could, though might be a bit slow to do unsync
leaden ginkgo
Oh...what if I go as DRK instead?
twilit arch
so if you do it as pld, you'll assure to get it within a specific amount since the end of dungeon thing can't give dupes
you can ofc still get it from boss chests
leaden ginkgo
So, as PLD it is 13 runs?
Nice.
I know the shield's name, but no idea about the sword.
Anything comes to mind?
Looks very familiar.
Could have sworn I saw it on market.
leaden ginkgo
Elemental?
twilit arch
shield is actually fae shield, so fae sword since those are dyeable
ritter shield/enhancing sword are not
leaden ginkgo
oh
lemme check those online

Ningguang master race.
They are!!!
Now I have to see where/how to get them.
twilit arch
they're from the dungeon, Dohn Mheg lvl 73

I wildly assume they are not sold in market, huh
hahah
Since, it says market prohibited.
twilit arch
correct, most dungeon gear cannot be sold on the marketboard
manic flare
the exception is dzemael darkhold
i believe there's another low level dungeon with gear that can be sold

dzemael isn't the only one

hi! if you play with the extended freee trial, how do you switch your account to a paid one? the trial lets you play as the two dlc races, so how does it work if i switch?
forest sage
you buy the starter edition
remote lintel
you buy the game and it upgrades your account
forest sage
for the race I assume you mean NOT play, you can fantasia to them once you have shadowbringers
you get a free fantasia from clearing the ARR MSQ at ~50(after that it's a few dollars/euros on the mogstation to change again)
white eagle
should i be worried about that crash or ?
strange coral
There's only one DLC race on the trial and it's included in the starter edition as well, so buying the game doesn't lose access to it.
remote lintel
restart the game @white eagle
forest sage
not sure but FFXIV is notably shit if you plugin or remove audio stuff while playing, so the crash might have been something like that?
white eagle
I just turned it on
Seems to be working fine
But didnt expect the game to Crash out of nowhere
strange coral
should i be worried about that crash or ?
If it only happened once, then don't worry about it. It's a fluke.

kind burrow
whats the difference between sleep and paralysis?
leaden ginkgo
like a couple mill expensive?
forest sage
well expensive is relative, it's an old mount so might not be that expensive
just check the market board
remote lintel
sleep completely prevents you from doing anything, paralysis stuns you every couple seconds
forest sage
it'll depend on your server(and then world visit to find a better price on your DC)
kind burrow
thank you
forest sage
paralysis is a chance to stun, not even guaranteed
once in a while you'll go like 10secs without any stun
sometimes it repeatedly procs
sleep breaks on damage too
like any monster that sleeps you will wake you up instantly if you're the only target(solo potd for example)
mortal current
It means they're going to parse the fight and upload it to fflogs.

googling saying its tied to chests or no chests
Savage reduces the number of chests based on how many people cleared this week
Usually log runs are 0 chests cause everyone has cleared and just going for numbers

raven burrow
chest runs are regular clears , no ? im confused

Yes
faint flare
2 chests are runs without anyone cleared this week
raven burrow
remote lintel
if no one in the party has cleared the floor you get 2 chests

Are you 80? Would make a big difference
fierce cobalt
Also what rank are you now

fierce cobalt
Ah once u hit sergeant second class you can zoom through it
So thats another 11k seal's and the rank 1 hunting log done
desert prawn
cool i've got like 17k i think
fierce cobalt
Oh ok
covert berry
hey, is it possible to press my skill to cast 10times instead of clicking it 10times?
obsidian patio
Using macros, yes, but macros are inherently designed to be bad for automating combat
fierce cobalt
Because once u get that rank u can do expert deliveries which means u can hand in green/blue gear for seals
covert berry
@remote lintel rip my fingers
fierce cobalt
I have gc question myself, if I'm getting close to all 80s and therefore reducing my runs of lvling roulette, what are my options to be topped off on company seals for ventures(which I assume is the best source for ventures)?
fierce cobalt
Hmm I desynth that stuff currently to get my desynth lvls up
obsidian patio
Fastest solo method is soloing HW leveling dungeons
Ones like Sohm Al and The Aery
raven burrow
if at least 1 person has cleared the floor you get 1 chest
ah thank you
fierce cobalt
OK that seems reasonable if I'm desperately low, thanks
faint flare
Lv80 expert stuff is like 1.8k or something seals
So only need like a run for a far amount
Or just solo stuff
obsidian patio
Yeah a level 80 dungeon can give like 20k seals if you’re the only one that rolls for loot
forest sage
well quick ventures basically pay for themselves GC seal wise
if you're spamming other ventures then might need to do something about it I guess
zinc orbitBOT
fierce cobalt
Seals into Ventures, nothing comes close to that for venture acquisition yeah?
Cos that's what I've been doing all this time
forest sage
hunts are also really good, old ones at least
obsidian patio
I like using my hunt seals for free teleports
forest sage
can trade allied/centurio seals into ventures at a fairly good rate
obsidian patio
I haven’t paid for a teleport since like the launch of stormblood
fierce cobalt
Hunt seals Id have to look into a hunt discord or something?
obsidian patio
forest sage
hunt linkshells and stuff, but I don't know how much of the old hunt people bother doing, not sure if new ones have ventures yet
obsidian patio
This is the main hunt discord people use
last tapir
Anyone know if Midgard will open for new players soon?
forest sage
that said if you're just casually trying to get ventures, just running a 60dungeon unsynced or something will give you a good amount
and it's easy to do without any commitment

I have a really dumb question for the amount of hours I've played, do all ogcds lock last the same time before I can gcd? What about dragoon jumps that lock you in place?
remote lintel
ogcds have a .7s animation lock
obsidian patio
Dragoon jumps are a bit longer than the normal 0.7s animation lock
Same for most skills that forcefully move you, like Displacement from RDM
fierce cobalt
Forcefully move you? Does that include gap closers like shoulder tackle, shukichi or intervene?
faint flare
Yes
fierce cobalt
So they're longer than 0.7?
faint flare
Yes, cause its adding the time to actually travel the distance
faint flare
If you use them close range and not actually move, you can potentially double weave them if your ping is good
fierce cobalt
Ah ok

Hi, WoW refugee here. Does this game have addons?
Third party addons exist, but they're technically illegal. The game doesn't scan your files, you'll only get banend if someone reports you for addons.

Unofficial ofc

Ive heard wonders about the story tho
the story is a slow burn in the base game and ramps up a lot
and its pretty long
but very good
its still ongoing

Most rotations are similar to their 80 counterparts, just remove skills you dont have
hushed lark
New expansion coming up as well
faint flare
Bards rotation is basically done once you get the third song
Cause you have a complete song cycle
Rest is just extra
tender ice
There are only 3 songs right?
scarlet arrow
you'll also find that many jobs in FFXIV (particularly melee DPS classes) have a combo-based rotation instead of a priority-based one, in that you do 3-5 abilities in a set order and then repeat while weaving in oGCDs
tender ice
Yeah yeah, I have those 3
I'll read this guide, I read somewhere else you open with WM
faint flare
Cycle through songs in that order, keep dots up, spam heavy shot and use straight shot when it proxs
Wanderers is your strongest song

Would you say it helps to separate songs from the rest of the abilities on the HUD?

Still a bunch of stuff. What about housing? Is that endgame as well?

housing is whenever but have fun spamming for hours

For levelling alt jobs
tender ice
Just what I needed
slate arrow
tl;dr do the highest leveled leveling dungeons
scarlet arrow
non-instanced housing is scarce and therefore pretty much always in high demand
instanced housing is readily available
spark cradle
also the optional trials, 8 man raids and 24 man raids offer their own stories
there's also... manderville

What about gold making which profession should i pick? Wait is it hard to get a house?
spark cradle
sorry yeah hildibrand

theyre an all or nothing package

Housing is a mess
slate arrow
for crafters if you want to make money you generally need to be self sufficient
spark cradle
also the things i listed are standards for each expansion
remote lintel
thers a limited number of house plots so people have to fight over them
spark cradle
they've been dabbling in different additions each expansions

The selling price on the marketboard is close to no or negative profit if you buy materiels

Hmm..damn. Was kind of hopeful to get a house lol
manic flare
just out of curiosity, what is your guys' ptime? (sry if this isn't the appropriate area to ask)
scarlet arrow
crafting is not the side activity it is in WoW. There are separate crafting classes, gear, rotations, stories, etc. Same with gathering. Gathering/crafting is more like a completely optional sub-game within FFXIV
spark cradle
how do i search playtime ingame again?
remote lintel
Hmm..damn. Was kind of hopeful to get a house lol
you can buy apartments which are 1 room and arent limited

mansions are 50 mil+ at least

50mil??? Jesus

110 days on my main and 18 days on my alt

most people in this game who have the money to buy housing still can't get one
hushed lark
Guess i should focus on something else instead of trying get gold to buy a mansion lol
spark cradle
rip people who wanted ishgardian housing next expansion
scarlet arrow
the number of non-instanced housing wards is limited by their server capacity. They try to put out new wards when they can but there still isn't enough housing for everyone who wants one
faint flare
How do I see if Pitch Perfect is stacked?
Yes its on the gauge

Housing was also first intended as a massive Gil silk to remove the large amount of Gil that came from 1.0
Mansions in some worlds were like 600m+
delicate field
Was gil income nerfed since 1.0?
obsidian patio
Yes
spark cradle
i always hover between 2-3 mil gil and make money from desynth now
tender ice
Is there any sort of way to have a different HUD per job/class?
delicate field
What made it so ez to be rich back then?
obsidian patio
They even cut everyone’s Gil from 1.0 by 9/10ths and there was still a ton
faint flare
You can have 4 different hud lay outs
scarlet arrow
The good news is that if you aren't going for a house or sinking massive amounts of gil into crafting classes or glamour there's really no need to go out of your way to make gil @hushed lark
remote lintel
not wanting glamour??
slate arrow
2.0 to 5.1-ish it was a pain and a hassle to level crafters and gatherers so it was generally a secure position to make money with if you put the time in
manic flare
also if you are a crafter, you aren't even needing to spend that much gil in the first place to craft glamour
remote lintel
heresy
manic flare
gil is just for people who dont want to craft their glamour
slate arrow
5.15 to now with all the DoH/DoL changes it's super easy to be a casual crafter/gatherer now

Wow is filled with alot more elitists than ffxiv that's why

And elitists get offended easily. We are happy to help each other in ffxiv

They said viera/Hrothgar is the last

Does Caustic Bite replace Venomous Bite or something?
Something the trait for upgrading your DOTs doesn’t mention, but the better DOTs also have a higher proc rate for your songs. 80% with both active instead of 40%
slate arrow
if anything, they'll just add in the other genders to the ShB races
faint flare
At least for a looooooooooong whole
remote lintel
if anything they will maybe possibly add male viera and fem hroths
slate arrow
but we don't know anything for certain
tender ice
Something the trait for upgrading your DOTs doesn’t mention, but the better DOTs...
Oh fr? Bit weird they do not mention that, thanks
leaden ginkgo
So do i just throw away regular benefic and Helios as a healer ?
tender ice
I always got confused looking at my later abilities, like Stormbite is literally Windbite but does more damage why would I have 2 of them
Now I realise
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo no
twilit arch
no
tender ice
Man I'm dumb LMAO
remote lintel
aspected helios is for the regen, helios has more pot
leaden ginkgo
Ohhh
remote lintel
and you need benefic for lower level stuff
twilit arch
depending on what sect you're in, aspected helios either applies a regen or a shield
remote lintel
oh right
leaden ginkgo
I just assumed it was better in general
remote lintel
people use noct
slate arrow
for healers, unless it's your DPS spells no healing actions replace each other
faint flare
Benefic is "I'm synced under benefic 2 or I'm like 0 mana and need to heal"
leaden ginkgo
Ahhhh 👍

do I even bother putting one up for sale? Would anyone in their right mind buy it?

leaden ginkgo

remote lintel
I have a friend who started ARR before the MSQ update and picked it back up, now...
yes he does
twilit arch
he does
remote lintel
its not character specific
craggy ore
I know I know, I thought because he made the character before the update and is now continuing after it was implemented, he wouldn't get whatever it was they did
Did it purely change the Post ARR grind?
slate arrow
if he's on a quest that has been removed the journal will tell him to abandon the quest and pick up the 'current' one
otherwise he gets to use the trimmed MSQ
some quests were untouched
but they're the ones that are generally considered better or okay
mainly the bad tedious ones were removed
like the costa del sol "lets run halfway across the map just to pick up some wine" titan
craggy ore
Gotcha! Alrighty, that helps clear things up
nova umbra
what do you mean by letting my retainer go?
strange coral
When you exit their menu
And they vanish. While you have them at the bell, they aren't selling
nova umbra
oh... well today I learned
remote lintel
it says when you summon your retainer that theyre no longer selling
tender ice
What does unaspected damage mean?
strange coral
Non-elemental, so not fire, not ice, etc
slate arrow
mainly flavour text, unless you're talking BLU
mortal current
It means it does magic damage, which is the only relevant thing about it unless you're blu or blm.

The npc dialogue
rigid wolf
In regards to hit box
faint flare
At the top
rigid wolf
Ok
faint flare
They tell you to use skills to deal with a few different things
Like killing adds
Otherwise its basic dodge generic Ultima attacks
faint flare
You're only being autoed by the boss
Unless you dont use the skill to kill the adds
If you dodge all the aoes then the heal from your basic attack is enough
rigid wolf
Which attk?
rigid wolf
Ok
faint flare
Like always read what your skills do in roleplay instances
And pay attention to NPc dialogue

Is diadem a good way to lvl up from 50+
rigid wolf
It stops healing
faint flare
Because you stopped hitting
rigid wolf
No
faint flare
It shouldnt stop healing
twilit arch
@static dagger its a decent way to lvl up, especially if you intend to lvl your crafters thru restoration. Leves/collectables are going to be better exp tho
main upside to diadem is that it doesn't have very high stat requirements so less gearing is needed

rigid wolf
I have
tender ice
Is it good to order your skills in correlation to rotation?
twilit arch
oh actually i think they may need to actually do the hard mode trials to unlock primal nature @craggy ore so if you can quickly unsync titan with them it should pop primal nature up
because the skip potion flags the quests as done, but the instances themselves are not
leaden ginkgo
So am i not meant to use blue cards on the tank ??
twilit arch
and that's a weird requirement for these quests iirc
You should, ideally, be using your cards as AST on dps
even if its not the correct 'type' unless your dps is like....really shit
leaden ginkgo
Yea but i thought bluee is melee, purple is ranged
twilit arch
it is
leaden ginkgo
So dump on dps...aii
twilit arch
but a card that's intended for melee is going to still be better on a ranged dps
tanks generally aren't going to do as much dmg as them, which is why you should still play cards on dps even if they don't match the type
unless your dps is really really bad
little swift
no kael
rigid wolf
@tender ice consider gcds and ocgs when organizing
leaden ginkgo
This healing shit needs way more rewards. How come only tanks get mounts :(
little swift
you want the value of playing the right card type to the right role type
over playing 3% to a wrong dps type
leaden ginkgo
Oh boy
twilit arch
faint flare
Tanks were severly underplayed so they added the incentive
rigid wolf
This terrible speedbump is more frustrating then last two savages
