it immediately heals, and the regen that is applied ticks every 3 s
you see the effect where your buffs are
you see green flying text every 3 seconds indicating how much the regen healed you for
Thanks, now I shouldnt get flamed as much. I'm short on tomestones tho for the full set
The Regen and Medica II's Regen, if you cast one regen and then Medica II's regen will reset the tick timer and combined together.
but the timer buff still separated whichever first expires
Whats the best gunbreaker weapon in the game?
you wont get flamed for not having scaevan gear in Stormblood
looks wise or actual gear wise?
stats
!item edenmorn gunblade
should be the edenmorn gunblade
the best one you can get if you dont like hard content is
relic
the Crpytlurker weapon or Relic
^
relic is hard though
even then both are kinda hassle to get
Relic is just grindy
not hard just time consuming
relic isn't "hard" just grindy and boring
yeah
savage isnt hard
if you want to do relic.. turn on Netflix while doing it
just takes practice and time
i would argue clearing Eden 12 and getting the weapon is harder
it is
what mila said, that being said if you dont play your class decently you wont clear savage to get the weapon
bc you have to clear eden 9-11 and 12
savage is doable but you need luck
but if you were to put time and effort into it you can clear anything
yes that can also be said for a lot of things
you're talking about Pug group or static?
just some content require more effort than others
but savage isnt grindy in the bad way like relic
depends on if ur pugging it lol
8 weeks of 12s clears is the max it can take to get the weapon
if you dont win a coffer
or your static prioritizes whatever class you play last
Or random drop
^
I thought people failing runs
that too
yeah ive had trouble finding parties that can meet dps check these days when my static decides to cancel reclears for the week
thats why i said clears
Back in ARR Turn 4 -> Turn 5 T_T
yea im not sure i trust pf in 12s tbh
Someone in the group has bad internet connection whole time
I'm glad Fiber internet is available for consumers... kind of done with 56k modem connection. lolol
anyway sorry to derail your question, here are two none savage choices
!item augmented law's order manatrigger
oops ignore 2nd one
I'm guessing patch 5.5 would have relic ilvl 525?
aug requires savage
Augmented is savage though
wrong one
5.55 puts it to 535
where is that info ?
For the final update
!item cryptlurker's manatrigger
Relics are always x.x5
based off past expansions and literally how they've been doing this relic
its been x.x5 patches
5.25, 5.35, 5.45
I also find it strange in a patch launch a relic ivll510 -> 515... the 510 is very short life
no it went 485>500>510>515
Well finished steps
Not counting middle
You can get relics for all jobs
yeah the 510 is like... just another grind away to 515 from the same patch
Thats how relic upgrades go
They go through a few different ilvls in each steps
Only the end step of that patch stays long
I feel like they just threw it there to get things for people to do like events.

custom stats would be useful for old ultimates
Why is everyone mentioning how cross-datacenter is gonna be this amazing thing where you can trade and play with other people, but I heard that it's gonna be extremely limited visiting to the point where you're just an avatar? Is it just people's over-expectations are am I misinformed?
I mean. Most relics come with custom-ish stats
When you have an MSQ skip is there a way to get he quest rewards? Like wind up minions etc
No one knows what we'll br able to do with cross data centre, we can only guess based on world visit
oh it looks like i got some
when is the patch when the savage raiding get uncapped/farmable? 5.5(xomething)?
nvm
Okay
5.55 or 5.58
Depending if they wanna do it early
Due to covid and all
I could not get the scaeven pants yet, I am iLvl 344 now instead of 302, I am OK to go back to Hydatos for a bit to farm more tomestones?
Your accessories could be better but otherwise yes
I have everything else
having some scaevan gear shows people you're at least trying, i think you should be fine
I would have had the full set...had Allagan Tomestones not have a cap.
you should spend them before you overcap
cause I thought tomestone gear wasnt as important
tomestone gear is the best gear you can get for each expansion
it is important at 50/60/70/80
and lasts 5 levels
Kinda important
tomestone gear is generally what people expect as bare minimum below level 80
Wait did someone complain about gear in Hydatos?!
What do I do with SIlver Choco feathers?
Trade at calamity salvager
ty
im maxed on allagan, what are they for?
you sell them for gil
so just sell them?
kk ty
How much does a data center transfer cost
18$
what's the default color of calfskin rider's set? is it jet black or gunmetal black
does the Barb of the Whorl drop from unsynced leviathan EX? or do you have to do it synced?
sometimes it has its own texture and sheen to it too
It's a 5 star spell so the chance is low
is there a website that allows me to preview dyes? I find that the dye preview window isn't always indicative
barb is the crafting material
Barb is a mat
barb is the item
Level 70 post stormblood, what splendor should I buy from for DRK?
that said BLU is the best way to farm it so that's kinda related
Kugane
since you can just one shot leviathan I'm pretty sure
ty
I've never touched BLU, but I'm farming with a friend so it only takes a minute or so
BLU takes longer to load than to kill it, but yeah need to get a few spells first, not that many for that though and mostly easy to get, also need to lvl it but can be done in like an hour or whatever if someone's helping you
it's great for farming old content
What emote is the big Namazu doing?
on the mogstation
uhm the ballad is so hard to find a healer...
the ultima's bane is so hard omfg i been in q for like 45 minutes +
Use party finder and unsync it
Where To buy lvl 60 BTN gears ?
howdo i unsync
Duty finder settings (cog at the top of duty finder) > Undersized party
you can buy some with yellow scrips in idyllshire or ishgard (assuming you've completed the main scenario quest "Heavensward") but generally its recommend to just push to 61 and buy 61 vendor gear @pale jungle
You'll enter as you are with your current party
Thanks
@faint flare It's Scaevan Gear I want from Splendors right?
Yes
how long will it last do you think?
75
Do I ignore Scaeven Pants and go straight for accessories or do I finish the main set?
Wuts the ilvl of the pants
@faint flare is this correct
@ancient whale no
Not level sync
not minimum ilvl
Just Undersized
just click undersized?
Yes
unsync doesnt have a queue
you need to get a party before you go in
Which is why you party finder
just leave
For at least 1 80
i was trynna do the quest thats why
Just get 1 80 to face roll it for you to clear it
180?
1 lvl 80
1 lv80
Yes
They'll murder it instantly basically
soo.. uhm anyone wanna help me...
use PF
whats PF?
Just open party finder and advertise first time bonus
party finder
What jobs should use tenacity-enhancing materia?
None, really
Basically none, except warrior if there's literally nothing else to meld
prioritise weapon chest legs right?
Yes
for poetics vendors
It sometimes sees use in Ultimates for a bit of comfort
In terms of pure stats it goes Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Feet > Belt > Accessories
Though priority should not be a strict thing to follow, as you can sometimes get bigger stat gains from replacing a much weaker accessory or belt
Rather than a chest or leg
!aether
when im crafting the magicked bed mount
wheres that site for aether
does it need to be hq?
No

I believe that's one that only works when you're fully underwater, not just on the surface
how do i go down deeper?
You can't until part ways through stormblood
ctrl+space is default keybind
is any water?
costa de sol?
Basically stormblood onwards
basically needs to be stormblood or shadowbringer zone
any recommendations?
Quick question, is there as much double weaving in BLM compared to SMN?
not really
No, there's not much to weave
In certain areas like the ruby sea, if you swim straight down you should go fully underwater
Okay, thanks
Lost my signal there for a sec, but yeah it's generally only in stormblood areas and onward
That you can deep dive
can you stay under water forever?
Yes
I'm confused as to the point of the recollection resistance weapons...
All I got was a cosmetic upgrade, and considering I lost half my materia from unmelding before I exchanged the damn thing, I'd say I actually lost out from that exchange. <_<
I'm talking about the recollection weapons.
The upgrade you get after the main 5.35 upgrade.
i mean you have to get to the recollection stage in order to get to the law's order stage
Yeah... But the upgrade is only cosmetic... So why have the stage at all? <_<
why are you asking us
I've done past relics and I don't recall a stage that gave me a purely cosmetic upgrade.
well, it is something to do
Relic steps are always new wep -> make it shiny, next patch do it again
Probably cause the relic started later
I'm more pissed about the materia I lost when I unmelded it before handing it over.
So not much wiggle room in ilvl improvements
this isn't a vent channel
make relic grind easier make it lose the special feeling when you gain it, and like rubbing salt to the wound for people who do it in hard way
Yes but I generally always recall there being some stat upgrade when you make it shiny.
Alright it’s been a while, I’ve played FF14. I don’t remember. I’m based in Australia and going buy the game on PC. Would it be the Europe version?
probably
I forgot what is the story patch interval, is it still every 3 months?
theres no oceania version so i think they just use EU version
yes, next one is april 13th
and small patch bi-weekly?
yes, major patches are roughly every 3 mos
no
and no, small patches are a month or so between
the bi weekly things you're prob seeing are like hotfixed and stuff
they are
but they're like a month or two after
like rn we're on 5.45
it went 5.4 > 5.41>5.45
anything else was emergency maint or a hot fix
good to kno ... still a bit more than a month away u_u
But should he play on EU? I think NA is closer for him?
assuming you're looking strictly at ping, OCE players should play on JP servers
But that said, some OCE players get better ping weirdly to NA than they do JP
Mmhh but I never been on those server, aren't majority in foreign lang?
but afaik EU is generally the worst of the lot
if he was asking about buying the game region wise, ithink most aus players pay for the eu version
that ive seen anyway
not in tonberry or kujata
a lot of aus/nz /oceanic english speaking players play on those servers
DF is still going to be majority JP
Oh nice
but kugata/tonberry will have a lot of english speaking fc/linkshells atleast
ye what kael said, but you'll be able to find statics/fcs etc in english on those servers
Ahhh. Does anyone know where to find the square enix username? Trying login into mog station
link there
Welcome hope you enjoy
trying to find an fc in Community Finder.. seems like that website doesn't notify people reply on it.
might be best to contact them ingame
Tried, some in like opposite time zone
if i unsub , can a tenant pop in my house and reset the demo timer?
45
if i demo, does the random timer thing activate?
Yes
are there any furniture items i can actually sell things from besides a mannequin? i just learned the new showcases are appearance-only ;-;
The timer is put on anytime the plot is freed up
no
im new to FFXIV, and im wondering if there is some type of Token that can gain you a free month, that u can buy from the market or something, like a WoW token?
market board is your other option
no
gotcha. thanks!!
are all outfit coffers scrip-exchange able?
The ones from the ishgard restoration?
so how the heck do people "sell" their houses?
To people who relocate
Question! How much time do you have to pick up a chest before it dissapears? This one was gold.
Through ownership transfer of an FC, too
Relocation bypasses the timer on a freed spot
I am just NOT having a good day today man
Is that from treasure maps?
so.. if i already own a house and i go to a plot on a random timer.. if i hit relocate i can insta buy?
Hydatos Bunnies
yes
thats insane
you also have to pay the placard fee
Don’t know how long they last then
theres a 5 minute cool down between relocations
but basically as longa s the plot is open and you have the gil, you can get it
can I eat different foot at once to have more stat bonus?
no
it'll overwrite the old one
Is it helpful to be in a FC?
fcs are mainly for social things
Oh okay, so it's not something that's mandatory
not really no
Hey guys I'm super confused here... both said SMN but only one can be equip for SMN
Because if you have a book that both summoner and scholar can use, summoner can techincally equip it
At what point do people expect you to be running completely optimal rotations and set ups? I’m (somewhat) new and kinda freaked out by all the job guides that talk about optimal rotations and ensuring specifc cooldowns are ready at specific times
Like, do I need to start studying all of that now if I want to avoid letting my party down? Or is that just for like, hardcore content in the future?
savage+ content
Extremes and savages, mainly savages
thats about it
oh it's because of the book?
I expect it in savage. Do I get it? Sometimes.
oh ok the crystal allows you to use the job weapon from diff jobs
Oh thank god ^^; I was getting a little overwhelmed by all that talk of optimization and efficiency
Thought id have to be ready for it by the end of Heavensward or something
@viscid fossil and so you dont have to switch back to arcanist every time you want to switch between smn and sch
it lets you go from smn -> sch
how much does FFXIV cost each month?
!faq subprice
!faq subprice
hguaerfh;
LOL

do you have to buy the game first then pay a subscription?
Yes
Or if I'm on the free account can I just start pay the sub
You get 30days free buying the game
you get 30 free days upon buying the base game
You must buy the game, yes
Ok
If you plan to play only one char, just stick with Entry I guess
Is there a way to check when Framfrit will be allow new characters?
!faq worldstatus
Ok so we bought the game, but we already have the free trail
trial*
can we just use the activation code or do we have to redownload it again
Where do we put the code in?
once you apply the code to your account the trial launcher will update and start downloading the game
Mogstation
on mog station
!faq Mogstation
Game says you can't create new characters on congested worlds, but can you move to congested worlds?
no
Okay
Sorry, another question.
So my wife just upgraded to the full account, but she still has the little 
that's normal
ok
guys
Thanks
the sprout has nothing to do with free trial or standard accounts
Thats removed on stormblood full story completion and 168h played
^
it's just a status put on new players
if you don't want it you can turn it off by typing /nastatus off in the chat window
When I see a sprout I try to help like in a dungeon
If i have only really played tanks, how hard is it to pick up healing with AST?
Or start healing, I suppose
not hard
the only health point that matters is the last one
AST is pretty 'easy' for new players, since you don't really get mechanics for healing, but you do get a lot of buttons to press that just do heal (except for the card buttons)
Don’t die, don’t let tank die. And when that’s not happening, hit enemies.
Healing stresses me out
I like punching things
Yeah honestly tanking for me hasn't been stressful, but when i consider the idea of healing, I uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
IDK if I could take it
Same as a dps main
with Healing, you have less DPS buttons in exchange for utility buttons
so you can usually just spam one button while focusing on the field and your party list
coming from a person who was sweating while healing the praetorium of all things and now mains a healer in savage, healing is piss easy
Just press your buttons and baby sit the 3/7 other idiots in the group
I mean then again other people will say dps is hard depends on player at the end of the day
I should pick up a melee class
Which one you thinking about
Alright, thanks for the advice, everyone
Yes
I guess...monk
I’d say go for it it’s a fun job currently my main
RDM has like a little bit of melee in it, and is REALLY fun
I’ll get to it eventually since I wanna max all dps jobs
Ok, it shares SAM gear which is the main goalpost
I guess Sam is next 😂
Another question for the DC's.. if i move onto a preferred server do i get the road to 70 bonus?
no
What rank do you unlock castrum in bozja
How does rested xp work? is it a certain amount or a certain %?
10
Proportionate to your current level. It covers up to 1.5 levels but only covers direct XP gains from kills, gathers or crafts.
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
oh so I can take my lvl 12 lnc into potd and not feel like I wasted billions of xp that I coulda used on a lvl 70+
Cuz it doesn't count towards the completion xp
Is it possible to make a guild with only 4 people?
correct. There is no modifiers for the PotD Exp gains.
Once its made there's no minimum, just needs the 3 signatures from others
can the 3 signatures come from free trial accounts?
no
Awesome thank you. Trying to decide on a dps. Think it's between DRG, RDM and Nin now. Decided against the others except DNC. Kinda stopped using it cuz it seemed too strong.
Currently lvl 58 and ilvl 102 RDM, what's the best way to farm better gear that isn't via the tomestone vendors?
Need ilvl 105 to continue the story tho
Are you not equipping stuff story gives you
spam the highest dungeons? Slower than buying
Is Ishgard a legit way to go from 70 to 80 in crafting?
Well balance for jobs is based off their introduction level. So for DNC anything from ARR or HW the DNC is going to outclass due to it starting at 60.
Very
Worked great for me. Lost of crafts, but it's doable.
I am. But it's not giving me the slots I need to upgrade
...wow, my ears wrist and neck are bad
Okay, how do I get high ilvl accessories?
Just get some HQ gear off market
Got it
If you have no tomes left
They sell everything
what kind of rewards do you get from those?
sorry to keep asking questions I wanna be a miner, but when I go to do the quest "my first pick axe" it says I need a job MIN
I thought that's how I got the job
Ahhhhh!
then you can accept the quest
Thanks

being able to fill other roles duties, keeping things more interesting, being able to make more money as adventurer in need
@dark copper more gil? How?
Hello, how long does it take on average to do Eureka for the weapon maxed. For someone playing around 4 hours daily.
Adventure in need bonus
when you do roulettes, they all have an adventurer in need
Its not much but its something.jpg
you get bonus gil from fulfilling the adventurer in need role
it's a good boost of gil in the early levels
not so much for late game players
Depending on how active the instances are, probably a month or a bit less
Oh i see
First one takes the longest since you need to do the story and level up
most of the time, the adventurer in need is tank or healer role
Other job's chain quests' stories are good?
Nice
Lore is what i after
I see, pretty long hmm. Is the story relevant to the MSQ? Cause I only just finished Stormblood MSQ. If not, I'll probably skip it for now.
do you get your beast tribe allowance back if you abandon a quest before finishing it
DRK is a solid experience and asks some pretty candid questions about tropes you encounter as an adventurer
yes
as long as its same day
Not really but you must do it to advance the relic
you wont get your beast tribe allowance back if you abandon it after the daily reset
kk ty
does it take very long to upgrade gatherer skysteel tool, considering you need to mine like1,000 items? 🤔
So when End Walker hits
Each job will add more quest chain right?
there will probably be additional role quests
theyre replacing job quests with role quests
Oh
because theres too many classes to write individual stories for each one
That makes sense
also some of the classes have their storylines wrapped up, so it would be pointless to continue them
Im mained Ninja
What is the 2nd class would you recommend?
what do you like
whichever one looks coolest
I recommend a tank or a heal
Dragoon looks coolest
and a magic class, cuz role quest
then play dragoon
Any pally mains able tell me how much better the relic weapon or the 520 weapon is
is there any way for me to have different hotkey layouts for different jobs? / different hud layouts?
How do I turn auto-attack on by default?
@silent zephyr you can have 4 different hud layouts in system > hud layout
but I can't have separate keybindings for them?
not sure
damn, alright
at what level does WHM get the unicorn?
30, but you need to be a conjurer to do the quest
thx
im honest to god confused but are the haunting and vexatious memories of the dying drops that low in fates, or do you have to be the class you initiated that quest to progress it. ive done 15 fates and nothing??
or am i just unlucky lmao
its at the Conjurer's Guild right?
Yes ^
thx
@mild raptor I read it was about 20-25% droprate but RNG gonna RNG. Just make sure you're in the right areas, the other day someone was farming Bozja for them, and they drop in SB areas
oh but didnt they buff the drop rate in a hot fix? or am i just remembering wrong x.x
is there something that determines the quality of map in (for example) the Dravanian Hinterlands or is it random if I get Wyvernskin vs Dragonskin?
that's after the buff
before it was like 10%
map depends on the level of the node
or well, the ability to get the higher tier maps is dependant on it
but you'll still see the lower maps on higher nodes
in hinterlands you should be able to find both types since it's a high tier zone so all the nodes should be 60 or whatever
so its just random if a lvl 60 node gives the Dragonskin map?
yeah just open the node then close it if no map and rotate like this
usually can find a map in like 30s-1min
thx
you don't have to gather anything, just need to rotate all the nodes and they reset as you go
When farming exp in eureka what do chain kills actually do
Is it ok if i set up a pf and say if ppl pay me i wil rp with thme?
in gil yes

any particular reason there are only 24 wards?
Are people really logging on and off that quick?
because housing wards take up a lot of server space
and covid makes it pretty hard for SE to go and look sites to purchase more server space
Thanks
is there a way to report bots from crossworld?
whats the point of aether currents in HW?
to allow you to fly in those zones
i assume post HW msq?
you can unlock flying in a zone after finishing the MSQ in that zone
although some zones have a 2nd batch of MSQ in them at later levels(Sea of Clouds in HW)
well that's the limited, but there's other currents
Does cure potency get effected by how much health you have (as a tank)
bunch you have to gather by clicking, rest from sidequests in the area(blue quest markers for them)
@jagged crow if you mean your self healing, unless it specifies, no, 400potency is always 400potency same as attacks
So there is no way to make brutal shell recover more health @forest sage
well better gear will scale the potency just like damage
but it's not meant as a strong heal, just a small reliable heal that adds up
aurora will heal a bit more, but GNB isn't really about self healing, PLD and WAR are the better classes for that
In a party of 2 tank 2 healer 4 dps (1 of then is rdm)
Why when half of the party is dead, healer still raise RDM last?
Wasnt a raised RDM with lucid still can help raise while healer focus on topping up member + dont need to wory about 8 second cast compared to raise other dps
people aren't smart sometimes
I was more referring to the more brutal shell heals the more it ignores damage too
It ignores damage equaling how much it heals
the shield is just the same amount as the heal, the heal is potency so it scales with gear as normal
Forgot to add. Its on lvl 80 content. (Ex trials / eden raid)
but it won't get crazy amounts and doesn't scale with your hp(but since your hp increases with your gear and your gear increases potency values, it'll scale with your health indirectly)
Anyone know which 70 dungeon to spam for exp or is Doma Castle spam better?
neat, I am trying to get an op build for unsync solo 70 content
GNB is rarely going to be the best option for soloing unsync content, it's adequate for the easier stuff since it's a tank
but WAR/PLD are better options since they have a lot more healing(or BLU, which even on 70 content is pretty scary effective)
Okay thanks for the info. Its a relief that i'm not wrong by thinking prioritize to raise rdm when mosy of party is ded
castrum abania until 71 @rose scroll
Awesome thanks
Ty @forest sage
depends on the content, usually PLD is better but WAR can be better cause it doesn't have to waste time casting the heals(has less potential healing though)
like I believe PLD hasn't cleared A12S solo while WAR has for example
I only have war at 50
I am assuming that war gets heals around 60+?
Because as of now I don't think I have any
Equilbrium is HW levels iirc
Other than thrill
but not 60, like 56 maybe?
they can also "eat" their buffs with Shake it Off and have healing on their main combo like DRK/GNB
Oh thats neat
so they have quite a lot of self healing without needing to spend ressource/time on it, but PLD has crazy healing potential if you just focus on that, you just lose a ton of DPS doing so, so for some thing it's not great
Yeah I have noticed that when doing solo ex content as pld
oh and BLU is also great at soloing stuff, especially pre 70 stuff, but surprisingly isn't bad even for 70 stuff even though they're capped at 70
well 70 is the cap for blu
sorry only have blu at 60*
you can do tsukuyomi ex, lakshmi ex
I don't know about the others
well suzaku you can't do on anyone I think
don't think anyone can for now, maybe next expansion
Are we getting 90 next expansion?
yeah the usual +10lvl
although it's mostly the gear that'll make it easier, so in 6.0 it might still not be doable but maybe by like 6.2 it becomes soloable, depends on class changes and stuff too
I have seen no duty finders for hells kier in 2 days
Make one
also does tenacity effect nothing
I have put on like 4 and my health hasn't changed at all
Tenacity is damage taken and healing received iirc
Just purchased the complete edition on PC, added to MogStation and it gave me 30 days as well. How does this synergize with the PS version? I assume days are unversal? Cause I used up the "free trial" a long time ago on the PS version.
Regarding soloing Stormblood trials in Endwalker
Take note that some of them are mechanically not possible to solo
Ah, once per platform. Cool! Wanna get into it again. Just yday I logged in on my PS account and it even said something on the bottom right like "2 days left" or hatever. No idea what that was cause i haven't played in years. Have a Dragoon at like 57-58. Not sure if I should keep going or make a new character.
there is/was a free login campaign
I see, so I happened to time that. But it said "2 days" or something. That's not really end of march?
it starts when you log in
and you get 4days
so you probably logged in to download the client or whatever and it started at that point
Oh yeah, downloaded a few days ago, that might've triggered it (kinda weird but not complaining about free stuff).
yeah you can't download the client without logging in, and it starts when you do(which effectively wastes a bunch of your free login if you have slow internet)
nah that's normal yeah
you get 4 days free and it starts counting down when you log in
But that's weird. You download it on PS and then when you open it you get the login page. You don't have to login or anything prior to download. Either they trigger at download regardless or maybe the login to MogStation triggered it?
you sure it didnt auto log in or something when you opened it on ps4
Nah that's not possible. It did have my username saved once I opened it, but the password field was blank. They could've simply checked for "If User Download Client -> Start Trial" and not check for login tho.
Just noticed there's a companion app! Sounds fun, hope it makes things easier. I'm not much of a MMO player but I love FF. I hope I can manage the whole "2395895 combos and keys used" part of the MMO lifestyle.
theres not that many skills
is crit most important for gnb?
some classes have less skills than others if youre worried about it
crit> dh=det
so yes
think the min amount of skills a class has is 22, max is like 30 something?
It's just that when I logged in, I had like 64 pages or something of combos just for the PS version (Hold L2 or R2 and each having 8 different keybinds then that times 8). Seemed so overwhelming at the time but I haven't gotten into it yet so there's that.
make sure you hit your gcd tier as well @jagged crow
wym
1320 sks for 2.4gcd is the recommended alignment but find whats comfortable for you
I have all skill speed on my gear, trying to tone it back
is there a tome shop for HW?
yes in idyllshire
just reach a comfortable amount
okay yeah im not there yet
2.4 is the balance recommended number thats all
helps you align the correct number of gcds in and out of no mercy
@lethal mist you only need 2 cross hotbars for most classes. the holding L2/R2 thing just lets you access your second hotbar without having to manually switch
Thanks mate, I'll keep that in mind. I just need to get into it again basically. I remember I was comfortable with my rotation at the time I did play a few years ago.
Btw, the companion app is asking if I want my profile public or private. Any benefits either way?
I really like the idea of the app seen as how there's an event tab andother things. It's a very smart play by Square; makes the whole experience nicer if I have to access anything or if I want a notification. Can it notify you for specific events when they start etc? It seems like a really smart use of the app!
it's mostly for social things afaik
i mainly used it for the extra favored destination
What's that btw? It said I'd get it by using the app but I don't know what exactly it is.
lets you register a destination as "favored" so it costs 50% less to teleport there
Oh I see, that's nice.
What are the benefits of being in a Fellowship (which I assume is like a guild in other games?)?
fellowships are just like, weird message boards kinda
they're more or less completely useless
mostly good for finding a discord link to something relevant for your server like hunts
theyre fine if someone is like planning an event or something
HOLY SHIT! DID I JUST!?! NO WAY! AM I DREAMING!?!
i dont do eureka so i dont know what this means but congrats
it's the ugly mount
OH
the manta ray looking thing
up to you
I kept mine back in stormblood, then never used it
personally if that thing was worth a few mil it'd be gone from my inventory
I kinda didn't need the money though, if you do need money I'd sell it unless you really like how it looks
What's the point in having a battle job retainer
I've a lv 53 summoner
they gather mats
Gathering mob drops
Is it worth it
I feel like gathering might be better
Like skins and slimes for leather and potionsb
Atleast fisher might bring fat cat that I can sell
does it worth to work a meld set toward perception/GP for Diadem? I don't mean pentameld as I can get toward required perception/GP with triple-meld and low-tier materia.
is the fat cat still even worth anything? but like they all do the same thing, combat ones tend to be fairly consistent money
I don't wanan bombard with questions so is there like a beginner's guide or a "returners" guide or something to look through to learn the lingo and what everything is / does?

Fat cat is like 120k in my server
Entirely depends on what you want. The node bonuses exist at fixed points in the diadem map so you could just chain a specific sequence to always get the +Yield bonus
Very helpful, thanks! I wanna play but I also don't wanna do things extremely slowly if there's a way to automate some things or whatever.
only things you can really automate in this game is crafting/gathering
You can only really automate crafting with macros
Macros in combat are intentionally bad
Hmmmmmmm....What would be a good price for this thing?
an endgame venture for combat should net you like 8-10k maybe, for 1hour, so a 120k fatcat with a really low % chance isn't very worth it
6,999,999
@slate arrow If I break the point of +2 Yield, I will get 4 material per attempt or just 3?
Yeah I wasn't thinking of combat and stuff but more like you mentioned, gathering. SOunds like something that might take time and could be delegated so you can focus on better things. Those types of improvements I don't mind. At any rate it's a lot of text so I'll go and read through it, thanks guys!
crafting/gathering is like a whole nother mini game within the game
its very extensive
depends on the node bonus. I think the yield is always like, +3 though. There's no scaling
are coffee biscuits worth selling
What will I even do with 8-10k :/
worth to use with your excessive leve
you repeat it 15times and you have more money than a fat cat
can I craft expert skysteel tool's materials with just white script gear?
you can probably hit the minimum requirement but doubt you'd hit anything higher
so you'd need the maximum amount of crafts for the step
use teamcraft to simulate it(or use the ingame trial synthesis if you're already on the step)
well teamcraft wouldn't be great for expert I guess
so trial synth it
outside of firmmament turn-in and skysteel upgrade, does anything else use expert crafting?
no they were added just for the firmament and later to skysteel
they're adding more of them I think next patch and might re-use the system next expansion for some things but it's still kinda fresh
sort of end-game crafting I guess
yup
direct hit has a minimum stat to start working, and less than that is the same as 0 ?
Is Gil useless in this game?
you dont need loads of it but it can make your life a lot easier
for certain things anyway
Like how I just got the Eurekan Petrel Horn and am selling it on the MB for 6.5 Mil?
it's nice to have a good amount if you want to buy new stuff when they release, but past that you don't need much
min stat to start working yes because of stat tiers, any excess above a stat tier but not meeting the next tier is effectively useless
im not sure if you're trying to brag or not but
no I'm not bragging
actual answer: if you're not a crafter and you raid you can buy food or pots off the market board
vs lving crafters yourself and making them manually
What are those tiers?
same with buying crafted gear at teh start of a tier or when its close to release
gil can be used for stuff like glamour etc as well
it has its uses its just not necessary to enjoy the game to teh most extent
glamour is very important
where other mmos have a heavy basis on money currency , ff doesnt
cause gear is mostly earned through dungeons and isnt tradable for the most part
Do the bunny fates require a certain number of players for them to spawn?
tldr: gil is used to buy vanity stuff or shit you're too lazy to make yourself
Is Bozja as much of a gil sink as Eureka was?
Is the level bonus for lower level classes higher if your highest level class is higher?
“Lazy” is a strong word
depends what you're trying to do but generally no
i mean in most cases lazyness prompts people to buy stuff in the case where they have the ability to make it themselves
certain things take a lot of time, too much time even. And then there’s luck too >.>
true, luck in regards to what though?
stuff like rng drops?
yea i can see that
like that bozjan hair or the bed mount materials
I mean the catchup experience for your lower level classes
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
What if it's an FC
anyone in the fc
but fc leadership automatically transfers after a certain point if the lead goes inactive for a certain period of time
So if no one in the FC logs out inside the house itll eventually release even if they are active?
no, you have to go in the house once eveyr 45 days
ya
Ty lycilla
logging out boots you outside the house lmao
What can I do with these plates?
In the character configuration menu I've hide unassigned slots turned on but it doesn't hide them why is that
Is there a limit on how many bunny fate mounts you can get?
like, one per character?
did you hit confirm in settings? otherwise idk why else it would be doing that, id double check that its on that setting
you mean like the petrel or whatever you got? no
can i do unsynch on DG?
I'll check after this 50 mins praetorium
But I'm pretty sure i did press confirm
I double checked like 3 times
dg?
dungeon
yea you can
but unless you're 20~ levels higher its probably gonna take a while
and likely not be worth it
ok ty
What exactly is Eureka?
is it worth buying levelling gear as i go up or just get quest reward gear?
a special set of zones with a separate leveling system, with emphasis on exploiting elemental weaknesses
it was the way to get the level 70 relic weapon in stormblood
though it has other stuff you can get as well like mounts and glamour gear, etc
very grindy though
I don’t mind grinding
I just don’t understand it really and what it’s for
Or how to access it
Glamour and mounts sound fun to grind for though

What are Aether Currents?
especially since the last stage of the eureka weapons can look kinda meh
eureka relies on partying up with other people to progress
@mint ferry things you need to unlock flying
Got a weird question, if a player doesn't have a crafter leveled up, can they still turn in leves above where their crafter is?
You know how wow has the undermine journal? If you dont know what it is https://theunderminejournal.com/#us its basically an online database of auctionhouse (Marketboard) trends that you can refer to. I was wondering if ff14 had something like this? I'd do a search but I dont even know what to look for.
no
U collect them all to be able to fly in that specific region@mint ferry
What does DR stand for?
delubrum reginae
24 person raid (read casual raid) for the new relic/bozja
Yellow for quest currents green for environment currents

bbuing
Eh?
He got a ban for something apparently
ah bbuing is a user name lol
But hes still able to use public channels so idk
you can talk in jail
i can only use say
Oh you mean in game?
Jail in the game ?
But that's like a ban isn't it?
It's not a temporary ban?
it can result in one
a ban prevents you from logging on
Wait
whats the longest anyones been in jail for
Yes I've unassigned slots turned on but they're not hidden @silver ruin
Its an ACTUAL place?
yes
Oh god that awful..
your character is physically teleported to gaol
and you cant leave until a GM removes you
Ehhh??? @remote lintel 4 real?
yes
can you show me a screenshot of your settings with that in it? i dont know why its not working for you
Alright
Kinky 😏
dont shitpost in this channel
Surely they can ask for the reason no?
whenever the GM shows up yeah
no
but if you dont contact support you might be waiting for a while
contact support ingame i mean
ive heard of people waiting for 6+ h
cause they didnt contact support
Oh god... glad I asked, that was educational
Thats so funny
What could be possibly be a reason to get jailed?
Bro take a screenshot of where you are I want to see
anything that breaks FF14 rules
^, harassment mostly
harassment, inappropriate behavior, etc
yea basically those are the main 2things you'll be goaled for
uh
im not sure if that setting works for the ps4 controler hot bar
cerb do you know if it does?
ono
i saw you posting ps4 hotbars earlier
I'm kinda interested.. is it like a real jail?
you cant teleport or move your character anywhere else
