Ah
dire prawn
In other words, there's no better gear from 60 to 65 than the Augmented Shire gear
remote lintel
technically there is but shire is just way easier to get
dire prawn
Way easier is an understatement with how much of a grind relic weapons are
remote lintel
and the raid weapon
twilit arch
i mean, not even talking about relic weapons

@obsidian patio one more question

creator savage gear is gonna be same ilvl as shire armour and higher htan weapon

So, can someone explain the DNC class and how it works? I always wanted to try it out, but I first wanted to hear what others thought of it.
remote lintel
all expansions have raids at the end of them thats how endgame works

ah okay, gotcha
tiny cliff
I have a main I been just messing aroun d on for year basically just did MSQ every expac and didnt really learn the game. Now getting into it more serious I wonder if I should start from scratch and actually play through and learn the game
leaden ginkgo
a lot of the guides are for max level
need to get the fundamentals down while im levelling it
dire prawn
WeskAlber on YT
faint flare
And most the time, you can just remove skills you dont have
Majority of the time new skills are just added to the rotation
dire prawn
It says 60 to 80 but WeskAlber goes through all the skills starting from Lv 1
tiny cliff
I am not quite max lvl but just kind of have no idea about anything haha let alone the story
dire prawn
So you can also use his guide to figure out what skills you will and will not have in lower level dungeons
remote lintel
if you want to experience the story (which i highly recommend you do) then yeah i would start a new character
halcyon stag
can just go thru with ng+

manic flare
what if i just wanted to redo a particular portion of the story in the middle
remote lintel
you can
faint flare
NG+
remote lintel
ng+ is divided into chapters

what about job quests?

They're in ng+

It doesn't change anything

Heya! new player here, just leveled my conjurer to lvl 18, and got out of my starting city. Now I'm seeing all these other cool jobs and wondering since conjurer is a pure healer and I kinda wanted to just dps, can I swap my job/class now and what should I do to get it ready so I can continue the main campaign

If you're not healing, then you're spamming stone
You'll end up spamming DPS spells alot more than healing
Healing is majority 95% dpsing
tender echo
I just asked if I am able to swap my job now and what would it take to swap to that..

do your lvl 10 class quest and pick up the quest for the class you want
then do hunting log/fates/challenge log to get it to 18

At 60+ is it best to do hoh for dps leveling? And, what level potd do you need to. Unlock potd?
analog island
Um hey guys, i got 10 ways to die on blue mage log challenge, what is that? I used 10 different spells and i still didnt get it
Edit: i need to use no more than 10, not just use 10, abilities, mimicry and healing counts
twilit arch
you need to complete floor 50 of potd to unlock hoh and 61-70 for hoh leveling @hazy shadow
twilit arch
dungeons are still gonna be better, but if queues are 15+ then hoh is going to be more time efficient

That's kind of what my queues are like at the moment.

Last night I got voted out from Akadaemia Anyder Dungeon I was a WHM and the tank pulled the beginning dungeon mobs wall to wall I used all my cool downs to try to keep up but we wiped and I got voted out before I get them to tell me what happened
I didn’t have my ACT up to check what happened
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening did I f’up or tank didn’t use something to help me out to keep up with 15-20 mobs around them

Players can unlock The Binding Coil of Bahamut after reaching level 50 and completing Ifrit (Hard), Garuda (Hard) and Titan (Hard). Afterwards players can talk to Urianger (x6,y4) in The Waking Sands to start the quest titled Primal Awakening and unlock the dungeon.

modest igloo
yeah no, they are way better than 2.x stuff
versed star
The leveling process sometimes feels so ass xD
twilit arch
the expansion post patch msq is pretty good, and much shorter
remote lintel
because theres 2 years between expansions
so people need things to do
and they have to be tied togather

Usually that rotation is talking about going deom nothing to phoneix
little swift
the "rotation" is 2 minutes because of how your phases work
you go from trance to filler
then to trance
and to another filler
atomic forge
I see
little swift
the filler phase is generally very basic spamming of your standard ability
and managing some of your cooldowns
atomic forge
A better analogy might be a dps cooldown (trance) that breaks up the filler?
than just saying "2 minute rotation"
little swift
the trances are what you would consider a burst phase
little swift
so you move through burst phase > cooldown phase sort of
and then burst again
basically burst every minute or so
where that part has specific actions you must do related to which trance you're in
faint flare
Or every 55s, depending if you're rushing
atomic forge
I'm leaning toward Summoner or Astro. Red Mage looked pretty neat too.
toxic aspen
do i gotta redownload the game cause I got the wrong launcher
little swift
how do you have the wrong launcher
red mage and astrologian aren't available right from the start

that's okay

So there isn't the "roll a tank if you want insta-queue" issue that thrives in WoW?
forest sage
no there is
remote lintel
i mean for queues dps are going to naturally have longer ones because thats just how it works in games
except in alliance raids
forest sage
just not a specific tank like doing wow mythic and trying to go as... whatever's not meta atm no idea, prot warrior still maybe?
but yeah tanks get instant queues
atomic forge

and healers get near instant
and DPS get 10-15mins queue depending on content

Yeah, I suppose something like "there are this many of this job in this raid"
remote lintel
all jobs are used
obsidian patio
The quests let you do 2 actions
remote lintel
theres no one popular job
forest sage
FFlogs can somewhat give you an idea for savage raiding, other parts of the games are not accurately reported though
but popularity doesn't necessarily mean that much
cursive abyss
The quests let you do 2 actions
Oh ok, so just progress the Pyros MSQ?
atomic forge
I am just curious, thanks Pyros
forest sage
like if you check FFlogs and see how many parses for each classes were submitted
you'll get an idea
MNK was the least popular DPS by a very large amount before, but I think it jumped up a little bit, so maybe BRD is now?
atomic forge
yup this is exactly what I was looking for Pyros
I was about to say "something like wowlogs"

very creative names

Samurai is far and away the most popular DPS in Eden's Promise.
Assuming I'm reading this correctly.

yeah it's the most popular DPS in every sphere really
remote lintel
samurai is one of the top 3 dps
forest sage
I mean, it's a samurai, so yeah
silver ruin
literally just pick whatever, parties just dont want 2 of the same class
forest sage
maybe they meant in terms of needing them
cursive abyss
I thought samurai was SB's tank
silver ruin
I thought samurai was SB's tank
no
remote lintel
just because one class was played a lot in this one raid tier doesnt mean its the best job
silver ruin
^ player skill matters a lot more
atomic forge
I wasn't asking about best job
forest sage
there's definitely classes that are more popular than others in numbers of people playing them, just not in terms of how they perform as much
remote lintel
it doesnt even mean the people playing samurai actually like playing samurai
atomic forge
Typically when you have a job/class/role that is much more popular than the others, it's because its value is higher.
That might not hold true in FFXI?

that isnt true here

SAM has been super popular for a while though, even when they were weaker during SB they were still popular in savage

SAM popularity is a combination of class fantasy and really high numbers
faint flare
And weebs
silver ruin

forest sage
last I checked a few weeks ago, the highest DPS(BLM) was like 2.4% off the weakest of the non ranged phys(DRG iirc), ranged phys are a bit below by design
silver ruin
actually sams the highest
atomic forge
As I understood it ranged phys don't have to stand still to do their thing?
forest sage
like some patches there's bigger differences but currently the game is absurdly well balanced
silver ruin
i think
scarlet arrow
they do not

Nope

all of Ranged Phys skills are instant casts

how long does it take for the game to know I've bought a subscription?

Immediately
atomic forge
So I may take a second look at Ranged Phys
faint flare
Long gone are the days of Bow mage and Gun mage
forest sage
as I said it was a few weeks ago, and at 99% percentile, but SAM might have over taken them, cause it was like .1% diff between the 2 or something dumb
remote lintel
from what ive heard WoW casters have like no movement abilities
which isnt the case here
black mage has lots of movement if youre good at it
it has like 7 movement skills

i personally find it fun and challenging
forest sage
ranged phys just are slightly lower cause they're ranged, don't have cast times, don't have ressources and they all come with a defensive utility skill, and still bring the 1% party dmg buff so most statics still take at least one anyway
and even slightly lower isn't that much lower

black mage doesn't have high mobility though
remote lintel
yes it does
silver ruin
I like high mobility with high risk/reward gameplay.
last part is called optimizing

it has "enough" mobility, it's literally the least mobile DPS though
atomic forge
Hmm, I don't mean optimizing.

they dont wanna move but they do have good movement

you are giving inaccurate information despite people telling you that is wrong
zinc orbitBOT
rigid wolf
Jeez chill
atomic forge
Well, let me put it this way. In WoW there is build for DKs using a skill called Breath of Sindragosa. This skill represents the vast majority of the classes' dps but it takes a lot of attention/focus/planning to use correctly.
If you screw up the Breath, you have 2 minutes before you're doing any damage.
rigid wolf
Im a month in savage will kill u a lot
rigid wolf
Thats not inaccurate
silver ruin
i know what im talking about
faint flare
Thats you failing mechanics
silver ruin
half the skills DO NOT kill you
remote lintel
not all savage boss attacks are instant kill
faint flare
Not failing dps
silver ruin

rigid wolf
Okie
remote lintel
@atomic forge theres nothing as punishing as that in this game
there are classes with strict rotations
faint flare
Unless you die as summoner
remote lintel
such as dragoon relying on getting the opener right
faint flare
Then your trances are fucked
silver ruin
and some classes if you drift gcd your dps goes in the crapper, but nothing on the level youre talking
forest sage
@atomic forge one potentially similar class would be SMN if you die during your rotation, and every class has the need to keep their buffs aligned with raid buffs
silver ruin
^ 50% ? stat reduc including damage
rigid wolf
If you guys are saying high lvl isnt shockingly difficult for new players also new to mmos...
faint flare
For double weakness
rigid wolf
Not sure wat to say
faint flare
25% for one weakness
silver ruin
we werent saying it wasnt difficult, we're saying you dont die to every hit
silver ruin
like you were claiming
forest sage
the closest to that gameplay though would be Warrior which is a tank, if you pop Inner Release and then have to do a mechanic, you're gonna be very fucking sad
silver ruin
some things claim half your hp and give you a50% damage down debuff

Summoner is decently complex if you want to optimise
silver ruin
^
faint flare
Due to pets being ass
silver ruin
think everything is complex on some level if you're trying 99%+ optimization
remote lintel
yeah i hate summoner
faint flare
Same and i main it
silver ruin
im too peanut brain for summoner
remote lintel
faint flare
I love pet tortue 
silver ruin
half the stuff that comes out of my smns mouth on vc during savage is bitching about his pets ghosting

missing whispering dawn is a lot worse though

So, I read races don't matter for throughput, but folks said that in WoW when some races were doing 5% more dps than others (e.g. Troll Arcane Mage)
Is there anything like that in FF?
slate arrow
races don't matter
forest sage
cause then you have to gasp actually cast heals
remote lintel
no
slate arrow
The stat difference is like, 5 points
faint flare
They do 0% difference
remote lintel
nothing on character creation matters except starting class
faint flare
Due yo how stats work
slate arrow
The current stats are in like 2-3k range
atomic forge
ahh I see
faint flare
The 5 point difference wont push you to a new stat tier, effectively being worthless
delicate field
So that's 0.001% more damage? Lol
faint flare
0

What’s tank mount for PLD?
slate arrow
Not even.
remote lintel
stats work in tiers
slate arrow
Due to stat tiers.
faint flare
Cause you dont hit a stat tiering
forest sage
PLD is a lion

Oh
forest sage
bear is WAR

Okay most serious question I've asked yet and I really hope you guys have the answer...

We might, yes

yeah if you be a bunny girl you do 5% more dmg

Okay most serious question I've asked yet and I really hope you guys have the an...

the answer is no, don't be a potato, it's not worth it
atomic forge
Why do these dragon-people have horns growing out of their ears?
remote lintel
because they do
silver ruin
void kin
shrewd owl
theyre not dragon people
boreal storm
Those are the ears
remote lintel
^
faint flare
Because 
silver ruin
related to voidkin
naive kraken
LIZARDS
remote lintel
thats just what they look like
silver ruin
no according to the lore they're closer to voidkin than dragons
slate arrow
Lore reasons
silver ruin
or something?
atomic forge
I'm so not feeling the aesthetics of these races. lol
remote lintel
that doesnt sound right
shrewd owl
no according to the lore they're closer to voidkin than dragons
the fact that shards exist disproves that instantly
silver ruin
huh, cant remember where i heard that then
wintry chasm
Yeah guys
forest sage
there's always human
wintry chasm
Hang on
wintry chasm
Hang on
wintry chasm
Never
slate arrow
nope
atomic forge
NUUUU
slate arrow
Espers don't exist in ffxiv
wintry chasm
The whole Au Ra voidsent shit comes from the concept art
slate arrow
Completely different universe
remote lintel
Au Ra just look like that and they hear out of their horns
faint flare
You get what you're given
wintry chasm
That's IT
silver ruin
oh
shrewd owl
ohhhhhhh
silver ruin
that might be it
wintry chasm
Au Ra aren't draconic OR voidsent based
warm snow
They are lizard people that are also edgy bois
wintry chasm
^ yes

with males that run like a deformed crash bandicoot

Is FFXIV set in the same universe as any other FF game?
shrewd owl
no
silver ruin
nope
slate arrow
no
silver ruin
diff universe
silver ruin
it has some stuff that are foudn in other games but its completely diff
warm snow
It's probably Canon to nier automata
remote lintel
although the NieR parts of it are canon in NieR
warm snow
But that's cuz yoko taro is fucking insane
slate arrow
There's crossovers with limited time events but they're considered canon adjacent at best unless specified otherwise
See: the FFXV crossover
faint flare
And references galore
forest sage
or the Lightning events
remote lintel
yokai watch canon in ff14
shrewd owl
and our inevitable ff16 crossover
faint flare
But those are usually dubbed as fairy tales and all
remote lintel
there are many references to other FFs
shrewd owl
you will find A FUCKTON of references
faint flare
And memee
warm snow
You can visit ff12 locations but I neither know nor care about how they're related
faint flare
It's its own ivalice
twilit arch
14's ivalice is not the same as 12/tactic's
warm snow
Fran is also in ff14
delicate field
But there's an ivalice in ff14 right? Since Viera are from there
slate arrow
yes
warm snow
Ivalice but alternate ivalice afaik
slate arrow
it's FFXIV's version of ivalice
warm snow
Events of 12 happened differently there
scarlet arrow
we also fight alternate versions of FF12 foes
warm snow
So at the very most it's an alternate universe to ff12 but the events take place on other continents so that relation is barely important at all
slate arrow
basically; it's a theme park ride but also has significance in the ffxiv lore
inner jungle
Hey is ruki here?
slate arrow
no, probably
remote lintel
who
inner jungle
Cap’n ruki
silver ruin
we have no idea who that is

hey is there a bug where i cannot join a DR savage raid PF?
ive joined several before
obsidian patio
You might have blacklisted someone or have someone that blacklisted you in that party
The game prevents you from joining PFs where you or someone else blacklisted the other
twilit arch
no
steep pelican
Hey ik this is possible. But idk how to trigger it cause I've always done so by accident. But how do I make abilities switch in the hotbar when I switch jobs?
zinc orbitBOT
atomic forge
What starting disciple should I pick if I want to go into AST?
steep pelican
Oh thank you!
faint flare
Any, but preferably healer
So you learn how to heal
Which would be conjuerer as the only starting hesler
steep pelican
What's cross hotbar?
faint flare
Or arcanist and swap to scholar later
faint flare
What's cross hotbar?
Controller hotbar
steep pelican
@faint flare oooh ok
atomic forge
ah, what's Arcanist?
faint flare
Primarily dps
It splits into a healer at 30 with scholar
Or continue as a Summoner
atomic forge
What splits into AST?
atomic forge
ahh okay, ty!
faint flare
And for astro specifically, do enough main story
steep pelican
@faint flare ok I'm annoyed now. When I turned sharing off it reset everything across all jobs
faint flare
Because it changed the hotbar to a different type
steep pelican
That's annoying af, is there any way to prevent this or a way to quickly set things up back to the way they were?
atomic forge
What's a good raiding/rp world on Aether?
rigid wolf
There are a lot of great videos on setting up hotbars they helped me
silver ruin
aether is primarily raiding, has some rp but you can go cross world so specific server doesnt matter
rigid wolf
Gilgamesh has good raiding comm i think
silver ruin
gilg is one of the more popular aether servers yea, but since duty finder/party finder/everything else is cross world regarding raiding it doesnt really matter
data center matters more
faint flare
Just unsync with a few people
silver ruin
^
worthy harbor
I get a lot of jenova in my lower level dungeons on aether
silver ruin
nobody really does old content synced anymore
rigid wolf
Havent been able to do hades ex
worthy harbor
like a LOT of jenova
silver ruin
are you queueing for it or setting up in pf bruxa
worthy harbor
level queue
silver ruin
most people at this point are looking for farm parties for fights that old
atomic forge
So it doesn't matter?
faint flare
Nope
atomic forge
kk
rigid wolf
Dont even think ill be able to get emerald weapon
faint flare
Emerald is piss easy and its current
silver ruin
So it doesn't matter?
not really, aether and primal are good raiding dcs, crystal is primarily for rp, has slightly less raiding population and more rp population but its still ok to raid there
what tails said
rigid wolf
Yea but cant join cuz havent completed
silver ruin
theres still learning parties for emerald up in a lot of cases
faint flare
Make your own party
silver ruin
for emerald?
faint flare
Since its current there's more interest
faint flare
Its current
rigid wolf
Wat?
silver ruin
emerald. is. current.
rigid wolf
Emerald?
silver ruin
yes
silver ruin
hades is older, like almost 2 years old at this point
rigid wolf
Oh was told yesterday glhf
worthy harbor
- turn off all sounds when ffxiv isnt focused except system sounds
- queue for something old and crazy
- watch netflix and wait for the sound
warm snow
Emerald has one mechanic that's difficult, one mechanic thats easy and no one seems to do properly and one starting mechanic that's a bit tedious but it's at the start so ez
silver ruin
emerald weapons are 515
rigid wolf
Uea
warm snow
Most lose out to the latest relic upgrade but said relic is also a massive pain in the ass
rigid wolf
Why i wana do it. But priority rn is shadowlesssssssss fashion
So close
Ruby was pretty simple
faint flare
Hades is probably the hardest Shadowbringers ex so far
rigid wolf
But you have to study vids for everything at that lvl
remote lintel
i thought people said hades was easy
silver ruin
really? thought sos ex was worse vinyl
rigid wolf
Just want the weapon
silver ruin
like you can literally cheese the last phase of hades
theres a safe spot for the exaflares
faint flare
Probably the same tier
silver ruin
orange in what
rigid wolf
But never did
silver ruin
if they're parsing orange in savage that kind of content is piss easy for them
but yea hades is long
you get 2 totems a hades fight instead of 1 since its long
rigid wolf
Long is intimating more time to cart
silver ruin
?????/
silver ruin
true, but hades is pretty forgiving with deaths depending on the part
rigid wolf
Idk i only play blm not sure how game is for other jobs
Bout to macro AM i think tho
Might help

Trying to do a relic reborn and need to do a howling eye (hard) trial as the second to last part of a quest. I can’t unlock the trial because it says minfilia gives a quest a recurring problem but she’s not in walking sands. Anyone run into this before. Thanks a lot in advance!

When did the Viera arrive in Eorzea? After the fall or before it

viera have icelandic names

@strange coral Yeah IK thats what I am basing it on

When did they start to appear in Eorzea then
twilit arch
¯_(ツ)_/¯
literally just go with whatever name you think is cool
that's their naming convention anyway for city name

Is there someone that knows, if in ps4 you can move the ui elements?

Technically never, afaik we've never seen a non player viera in eorzea

What is the lore on how like all the primary races are humanoid-like but we have like 5 half animal races, did the animals all happen to evolve to be humanoid?
Or did some magic tomfoolery happen, or did someone put their magic rod in a rabbit and boom viera
slate arrow
implied to be the latter, actually
not that literally
but ehhh somewhere in between
If you've seen the ascian origins you might know what I'm referring to
remote lintel
ive only read that miqo'te and regular cats are distantly related and thats about it
doesnt say why
cobalt mauve
Or were they all like one race and just evolved into the races we see today
