That point is unlocking regen

okay makes sense, so no more spamming cure 1 😄

what relic? anima?

There's also the arr crafter relics but they boring

I assume I will be lv80 before I even finish ShB MSQ. What to do for gearing while progressing through MSQ?
warm snow
Just use the gear you get from quests/dungeons
Worry about gearing once you actually finish shb
You'll get your job artifact gear during the ShB story
You will need to have completed your role quest to get it

does tanker or healer need gear more?

Yes

both?

well, only one set from MSQ 😄

Does the gameplay/story/questing get better? I just started playing and of the many (too many) MMOs I've played, these early levels are mind-numbing and totally unfun.
Like, even for an MMO
leaden ginkgo
Serious question : will i get in trouble if i call people out for doing the bare minimum. Like if i say use earthly star once or they never used divination if they're playing AST

no

depend on how you play. For some people, the journey is where the fun is.

Good advice, thank you. I'll focus on those quests.

They might be dicks back but you won't get in trouble for it

Momo, so far this "journey" has been the least fun of any MMO I've played.

what level are you

5 or 6
scarlet arrow
early levels for all classes have a dearth of buttons to push
faint flare
You're in the entry of the entry of the tutorial
leaden ginkgo
They might be dicks back but you won't get in trouble for it
Aii I'll try to be nice about it but man its like some people don't use abilities past level 30
atomic forge
yeah, that's fair. I'm just comparing this to the first 5 or 6 levels of ESO/WOW/GW2/SWG and it's by far the worst
rigid wolf
So i got one pair of pants from eden promise umbra can i keep grtting antiques in the other eden promises or is it one piece a week period?

Is 3-4m gil enough to level uo most crafters
If you gather everything yourself it casts 0
silver ruin
Is 3-4m gil enough to level uo most crafters
depends on server prices for restoration materials, but what vinyl said is better
cuz you're gonna be bleeding gil if you just buy stuff off the marketboard instead of leveling gatherers
warm snow
Probably not enough to cheese all the job quest turn ins cuz those are stupid expensive
atomic forge
I love final fantasy games, but hell, by this time in FF6, I was completely engrossed.
warm snow
Especially in hw
forest lark
Meh, I'm thinking by buying mats on mb some are expebsive some are cheap, but I try to hop to workds and get thrm for cheaper like 100g a piece
remote lintel
ff6 isnt as long as ff14
forest lark
Cause evrything is 400-500g piece on kouisouix
atomic forge
I think putting the story at 15 might be hurting it.
faint flare
You're not even 1 minute into the story into the perspective
silver ruin
okay same thing
rigid wolf
Its not as tightly told as mainline ff games
remote lintel
no other ff game is as long as ff14
rigid wolf
Its an amusement park
silver ruin
ffxiv is like a jrpg worth for each expansion and the base game
atomic forge
Yeah, that's good to hear, I just need to adjust my expectations to match the pacing.
rigid wolf
Lol yea cuz its a service mmo game
scarlet arrow
the game has to spend a lot of time teaching people to play MMORPGs, so that takes up a good deal of the early going
silver ruin
honestly a lot of people agree that arr is a slog but it definitely gets better
remote lintel
note that during ARR the devs were still honing their writing skills os the pace will be a bit slower
but that doesnt make the story bad
atomic forge
ARR?
remote lintel
a realm reborn
silver ruin
base game
remote lintel

atomic forge
ahh
faint flare
Again, the game treats you as if you never played another game, its a simple basic start and ramps up steadily
faint flare
Plua you also have 0 skills so combat is a drag early

Well for someone whos never played an mmo like me it def felt less then engrossing but again goes with territory i think

is leveling other jobs only through dungeons viable
twilit arch
no
manic flare
is leveling other jobs only through dungeons viable
there is palace of the dead for classes under level 51
and heaven on high for classes between 51-60
twilit arch
there are multiple other ways of leveling alt jobs. Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High/Bozja, daily beast tribes, squadrons/trusts (though still dungeons)
your level ranges are wrong
potd is 1-60, hoh is 61-70
little swift
and heaven on high for classes between 51-60
Incorrect
leaden ginkgo
They asked if it was viable, not that it was the only way
little swift
HoH is 61 to 70
fervent prawn
I should probably start working PotD
leaden ginkgo
Levelling classes through dungeons is perfectly fine lol, for every job lower than your main you get double exp up to 70 and then 50% more exp after 70
twilit arch
and tbh is best source of exp, though for dps queue times can be long so the other methods i mentioned are the usual recommendation since those queues aren't as long (or don't have queues!)

enmity list
leaden ginkgo
If you check the enmity list and there's a red circle, you have aggro
Green means you don't have aggro, orange and yellow mean you've lost aggro but have SOME aggro, red means you currently have aggro

Hey, um...So I'm trying to use the Ixal quests to level crafters, but I reached the final quest...and I'm having trouble making the first item.
All the guides I've found are old, since we don't have actions such as Steady Hands anymore.
Does anyone know a good guide for both Ixal and crafting both?
I kind of breezed through them to lvl 30 using Ishgard Restoration and now I'm struggling b/c it really didn't teach one how to craft.
I do blame myself on that.
boreal storm
Ixal is just crafting but your glove slot isn’t as good as you want
Max out progress to complete craft, quality equates to chance of HQ item
If you aren’t maxing out quality you’re doing it wrong
weak flume
My issue is, I try, but I either don't have enough CP, or don't have enough 'rounds' to make it
even with food buffs
boreal storm
What are your CP numbers looking like
weak flume
Hm...well, my lvl 35 blacksmith has 206 CP
plain python
can I craft highest-tier collectible for Firmament at lv80 non-expert with white script gear?

What rank ixal are you on?
The final rank. I unlocked the last quest.
I haven't done the delivery ones...I should try those. I usually did the ones where they give you the mats.

You should have already started replacing that gear with dungeon gear a while back.
Around level 63 or so

as ive been going through the MSQ anyway
strange coral
Actually looking at, even the level 61 dungeon offers better gear than the chaos set

Will last you until 65 story

strange coral
Yea that's fine then. You don't need level 67 gear yet because you can't do level 67 content.
But Shire will last you a while in to the SB content

can someone help me with a dungeon im stuck
obsidian patio
Just stay in the queue, if you’re a DPS then having a queue time is natural
You usually wait 10-20 minutes depending on the dungeon and time of day
gray oxide
Anyone dark knights able to give me some advice on what stats to put on my 515 relic weapon.

Max out crit and det, and then use the remainder for skill speed

Is there something I can dump poetics on for the Anima weapon?
woeful nacelle
Yeah I have that step but isn't there one later on that you can use for sand?

you gotta buy umbrite
twilit arch
Also need it for umbrite
boreal storm

umbrite
woeful nacelle
yeah I'm just trying to remember what was the huge mat sing on the sand step

thavnarian mist/ink for zodiac relics
tradeable for sand but scrips from collectables are way better
woeful nacelle
oh yeah maybe it was umbrite
cloud lake
How do people solo dungeons as a blue mage I know basic instint plays a big part. But idk I guess how to play blue mage properly. I can mass kill a mob but thats only one mob when I'm up against 3 other mobs They kill me quickly.
gray oxide
Why determination? And not direct hit?
obsidian patio
Tank relics can’t pick direct hit since it’s not a natural stat for them
gilded forge
How many logos actions do I need to finish Pyros?
forest sage
you can also get crystal sands with poetics iirc, you can trade unid shells or whatever for crystal sands, terrible rate though
gray oxide
Awwww gotcha..thanks @obsidian patio
gilded forge
And is there a resource for combinations?
obsidian patio
And is there a resource for combinations?
In terms of the weapon you only need 35 or so learned
If you want to make the armor then you need 50 learned, with all learned for the glowy version
forest sage
@cloud lake dependant on the dungeon but generally, aetherial mimicry on healer, pom cure+gobskin, mighty guard on, use deep freeze from ram's voice to CC trash mobs, then instant kill them with ultra vib or slowly kill them by dumping all your cds
bosses are just do your rotation until they die and heal as needed
gilded forge
If you want to make the armor then you need 50 learned, with all learned for the...
All learned
Well that sucks, back to the grind I guess, thanks!
obsidian patio
Yeah Healer Mimicry + Basic Instinct + Pom Cure is basically a GCD benediction
forest sage
yeah gobskin/diamondback for anything that will one shot you, but anything that won't you can just pom cure

what exactly is interject used for, it doesnt seem to work the same way as in wow
remote lintel
!faq interrupt
zinc orbitBOT
devout lichen
I tried to use it on a telegraphed attack and it just said no effect
slate arrow
because it wasn't interuptable or you did it too late
it's specific casts
see the flashing castbar for which casts
gilded forge
So wait, how do I use the lograms to get specific skills in Eureka?
faint flare
Go to the logos appraisee guy to open them up
Then the logos device thing to make them into skills
gilded forge
Yes but how do I know which combination will result in which skill?
faint flare
Look at the link Wynne sent
forest sage
the website linked earlier has the combos
gilded forge
Got it, thanks!
devout lichen
I assume there is no things like weakaura and stuff like that here right
forest sage
there's ACT, which has some various plugins which do some of the things
faint flare
Like setting up triggers
forest sage
it's not nearly as developped as wow addons since it's unsupported, and based on a damage meter originally made for EQ2
devout lichen
i just wanna see which attacks are interruptable faster
forest sage
there's a spelltimers plugins though iirc which does a variety of things like weakauras
remote lintel
just look at the cast bar
devout lichen
dont I need to be targeting that enemy
remote lintel
use focus target
devout lichen
so there is no need to interrupt every second attack here like in wow?
forest sage
some of the trash have some interesting things to interupt, but it's usually 1mob per pack specifically made to be interupted so you can just target that
faint flare
No
remote lintel
no?
forest sage
like in the frog dungeon in ShB has those mobs that channel a spell at the start of the pull
faint flare
Interruptable attacks range from minor to "interrupt this or wipe"
forest sage
but yeah there's not even that many things you can interupt at all
remote lintel
a lot of bosses dont have interruptable attacks at all
forest sage
you can stun trash mobs to interupt normal castbars though, most of the time
devout lichen
so stun > interrupt
faint flare
Not necessarily
forest sage
so using the oGCD stun is nice enough
faint flare
Not everything can be stunned
remote lintel
bosses become immune to stun in like HW
forest sage
well on the few things that do have to be interupted, stun usually doesn't work
devout lichen
and when do you use provoke, is it more of a panic button
forest sage
depends on the situation, in dungeons it's used to pull/grab something you missed with aoes, in raids it's used for tank swapping
wild slate
so whats the least painful way to get the relic with the void ark/gyr abania/far east fates
whats faster raid grinding or fate grinding
devout lichen
I just use the shield throw from gladiator to pull things at range
forest sage
fates are faster, but raids are guaranteed if you hate not seeing numbers go up for a while
provoke has a longer range and is an oGCD
you can also use both to pull 2 mobs far apart at the same time
it's not an emergency tool though, nothing is
same for defensive cooldowns, they should be used often to reduce healing needed instead of keeping them for the last second
faint flare
Primarily for the dps
forest sage
exception is stuff like living dead and holmgang which are mor or less only emergency in casual content
forest sage
LB is shared for the party, so it's better to let DPS use it, or healers for raising(in 8man parties), tanks are only for specific mechanics basically
devout lichen
everyone I play with is a sprout and I havent seen anyone else use it yet
remote lintel
then tell them to when its up
faint flare
People tend to forget
forest sage
either mechanics designed specifically around tank LB, or to let people fuck up a mechanic and still survive, but it's all endgame stuff, there's basically never a time a tank should use a LB outside of raids
twilit arch
thats because most sprouts don't know about it, or got yelled at for using it previously so they're scared to use it
faint flare
Casters/range should use ir on large trash pulls
forest sage
also most people just keep it for the last boss
faint flare
Melees use it on the boss
boreal storm
Also they might not have it on their action bars
devout lichen
yeah I only learned about it because I was clicking around in the menus
forest sage
it's better to use it on trash pulls usually but most people just are used to keeping it and using it on the last boss only
devout lichen
why is there a second limit bar charging up on the final boss
remote lintel
thers 3 levels
faint flare
For lb 2
forest sage
there's up to 3 bars depending on situations
warm snow
When fighting boss you get an extra bar
forest sage
3rd bar only unlocks in 8man content though
3bar LB has cool unique animations for each job
warm snow
But during 8 parties you can charge up to 2 bars along the way
3rd bar also appears in 24 man alliances as they're basically 8 man content
With other 8 man groups

Is Stormblood still about Dragons
devout lichen
can you play a tank as a dps if you dont turn on the tanking thing or thats a bad idea
manic flare
Good, kinda burnt out on Dragons now lol
well technically there is a big baddie dragon but it's not main point of the story
devout lichen
so whats the use for turning off it, tank swapping?
scarlet arrow
pretty much
scarlet arrow
8-man trials and raids have two tanks and often include tank swapping mechanics
remote lintel
normal ones dont really have tank swaps
scarlet arrow
not egregiously devastating ones at least
warm snow
Some bosses have mechanics that target the two highest aggro players
Poor drg never stood a chance against the dual tank buster
oak ice
A5 does, but that's the only one I can think of
warm snow
You won't see this in normal content but it's a good habit to get into nonetheless

Not like an easy fast thing

A lot of the best weapon glams are both master and specialist recipes
Like the new zurvan weapons
twilit arch
only going to be specialist for this patch
warm snow
Oh, good to know
twilit arch
5.5 will have new specialist recipes anyway
rigid wolf
Zurvan weapons?
twilit arch
specialist recipes are not static, they basically switch every major patch, and the previous ones get shuffled down into non specialist
warm snow
Zurvan weapons?
Hw trial boss, not super memorable but got craftable weapons added in 5.4 that look pretty damn sweet

how do I use armor paint (dye actually)
tender ice
Right click on what you want to dye, select the colour and wala
cerulean notch
oh okay thank you :D
tender ice
Just make sure you actually have the dye
twilit arch
if you can't, then you need to go complete the quest "Color your world" in vesper bay to unlock dye
cerulean notch
nope I can't
Let's see if I have that quest, I have a shitton dyes in my inventory so I guess I should have it
btw is there any way to have chat bubbles
sometimes I miss the chat if the text is not over someone's head

Don't know I didn't enjoy arr at all
I honestly wanted to skip dialogues every single time
I enyoyed heavensward a lot, then I wanted to skip dialogues again in stormblood

Tried the game in 2014 on a free trial for 2 weeks or to lvl 35, wanted to try again now as it said you had a free trial to lvl 60.
When I log in, it says I got 2 days left of trial? does old account not get the same trial as new people?
slate arrow
It doesn't sound like you had the free trial
old saffron
I did, never payed for it before
slate arrow
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Never spent any money

there's been plenty of times FFXIV was free
so we don't know
contact SE support about this
old saffron
I have the FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Free Trial
twilit arch
the original free trial was 2 weeks to lv35
old saffron
Yeah, but when they re-did the trial, to lvl 60
twilit arch
that said, the changes to the free trial do not apply to those who tried that version
you need to make a new trial account if you want to make use of the new one
slate arrow
no
you need a new mogstation account
and you can't untie steam accounts to mogstation without SE support but even then they rarely do it
old saffron
Account should be connected to the steam cd key
for the trial
I played 8 years ago, I should have the benefit for the new trial way
You think support will give me a trial?

pls dont throw stones at me but...
do whm really use the cure 3?
Mainly in savage
obsidian tiger
Hello! Question, which server/data center is a good one to select?
dapper oyster
Mainly in savage
is it that powerful or its just because it activates the extra healing from confession?
i find it weird to use it... im still levelling whm tho
faint flare
Because its the strongest aoe heal
Just its range is shit
However in savage you're often stacked together
So that point is mute
dapper oyster
ah i see... so later in lvl 80 people uses medica 2 and cure 3 more?
twilit arch
ehh
faint flare
Affaltus moreso
obsidian tiger
The Chaos center or Light center?
faint flare
And ogcds
twilit arch
cure 3 even in 80 content is still kind niche, you'll get more use out if it in harder content
but the casual content, its not going to be used as often
remote lintel
@obsidian tiger any
twilit arch
as there's not a whole lot of stack mechanics that need the healing power of cure 3
tender ice
Anyone know why I can't store stuff in my Armoire
dapper oyster
afflatus is the lily heals right? and the blood lily, damaging skill
tender ice
Or the glamour one either
remote lintel
the armoire is for event clothes/the first AF gear
obsidian tiger
which one is more populated or are they all connected?
twilit arch
armoire is basically for event/acheievement/lvl50 artifact gear
remote lintel
theyre all populated
tender ice
What about the glamour chest, I cant put anything in there either
twilit arch
the dresser on the other hand, requires you to have a glamour prism on you
in order to put an item in
tender ice
I do
warm iron
why can't I send letters when I clearly have friends in my friendslist?
twilit arch
can you screenshot the the dresser when you have it open
tender ice
Tbh I don't really understand the glamour chest
dapper oyster
if only they could simplify the cure 3 to medica 1 -.-
but i guess that wont happen...
k thanks everyone
tender ice
Alright hold on
left moth
ah i see... so later in lvl 80 people uses medica 2 and cure 3 more?
cure 3 is a situational gcd heal for when stacked and expecting big chungus damage. most of the time an assize bomb (assize + Afflatus Rapture) works good enough (since meeting dps check is much more important in savage then raw sustained healing + being stacked for c3's small range)
remote lintel
@warm iron is the "compose" button greyed out or something
tender ice
Like what do I do
twilit arch
you need to use the drop down menu
dapper oyster
how big is afflatus rapture aoe?
should get it soon since im already 74
twilit arch
No
warm iron
<@!324995230011228160> is the "compose" button greyed out or something
when I click "New" on the Delivery Moogle interface I get the following message:
"You can only send messages to players registered on your friends list. You have no friends..."

So what does this do? Remove all stats off the items and turn it into glam?
faint flare
how big is afflatus rapture aoe?

Its just a free medica
twilit arch
it just puts the item into the dresser and lets you make a plate with it
tender ice
plate?
twilit arch
you take it out, it has all its stats just fine. spiritbond is however reduce back to 1%
dapper oyster
ah ok
forest sage
a plate is like a preset of glamours that you can copy paste onto your gear instantly
twilit arch
glamour plates basically let you make an outfit that you cna quickly and easily apply without a prism
remote lintel
@warm iron and you have people online on your friend's list?
twilit arch
but you can only do it while in a city or housing district
tender ice

Can I apply it anywhere? Or do I have to be at the dresser

nope, we both have complete edition
forest sage
did your friend accept your friend request? cause you can have people on your list but them not having accepted

yes, we both have each other in our lists

I still dont even get what Spiritbond does

hmm not too sure then cause it usually worked fine but I haven't sent a mail in years

any difference from one of them? : o

yes ^^
remote lintel
their play style
is the difference
white mage has more regens and scholar has more shields

Anyone know why I can't repair my Flower Crown? It doesn't even appear in the mender
remote lintel
are you selecting the right category
tender ice
ffs
obsidian tiger
so white mage is like dotting people up with heals?
tender ice
thanks
left moth
arcanist is a dps pet class ( 
) that grows into a healer option (fairy regens, aetherflow, and to a limited degree of preemptive shielding). cnj is a healer class that grows into whm (big numbers healing, limited utility, annoying cast times)
remote lintel
they both have the same cast time length
tender ice
So when I use a glamour plate does it automatically go over what I am currently wearing?
remote lintel
the slots that you filled in the plate yes
tender ice
alright, sweet

alright, sweet
Provided they're valid, you can't for example make a lv10 item look like a lv20 one or a make tank gear look like dragoon gear

which one of the two is a paladin alike?

gladiator (paladin) and marauder (warrior) are the base (non expansion) tank classes

I'm saying after you already have Law's order weapons

Oh the augmented ones
Dr or potd
That's the old way to get time worn relics
Or the middle step?
The one off?

That's not what it's asking me for though, it's asking me for 18 of two sets of memories

Fates can be faster but it'll always be rng

Nope
You only have to do that specific step once
Think of it as getting gerolt a new hammer
stuck kayak
Huh neat, the raids are a 100% drop rate right?
warm snow
Yeah
open ember
1 per raid
little swift
Just queue for the raid and farm fates while you wait
stuck kayak
36 raids is a fair lot though
warm snow
Void ark and rabanastre are fastest of their raid series
twilit arch
the fate drop rates are pretty decent now
open ember
18 isnt as bad as you think tbh
twilit arch
so as channy said, can just queue for the raids and do fates while in queue
left moth
alliance content yes is guaranteed drop in exchange for being longer overall time wise. fate grind is very hit or miss (and mind numbing)

I don't think blu parties are doing them any more but keep an eye on the pf and you might see one

It seems the retainer's city origins is where the items are sell, if your retainer is from Limsa, people in Gridania MB sees my items I put to sell (with that retainer from Limsa)? The MB dont share your content?

Where your retainer is is for tax purposes but the tax rates are standard across the board

I don't think it's a "new character" issue, I think I'm just sort of.. lost on what I'm supposed to do in general. Do I just do the main questline and all the sidequests? Is there anything I should keep in mind when I'm questing or should I just go wherever and do whatever I find?

Ah, I see, thank you!
Though, basic question. I've never really played Final Fantasy games before, though I want to get into the lore and understand the MMO because all of my friends love talking about the lore and what's going to happen. Is it easy to follow or extremely complicated? Like compared to WoW. Could I just do all of the expansions in order and have no issues or would I quickly outlevel main content from previous expansions?
remote lintel
the story is easy to follow but a lot of the lore isnt gotten from the main story
like world building stuff
boreal storm
Some lore stuff only gets discovered from job quests, but it doesn’t really matter
remote lintel
and unless youre on a preferred world you dont vastly outlevel the main story during expansions
strange coral
You can't finish an expansion early and move on to the next like in wow. You have to keep following the story quests, even if you outlevel them.
