yes but why is it cheaper ?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah it seems the better one is cheapre lol
I wanna say it was originally harder to get when it came out, than the one on the left. But now since it is outdated, it is easier to get
should I buy the gear for my main job or my off jobs first
The more expensive one is also an "augmented" tier, while the cheaper one isn't.
Mineking was a lower tier, plus its augmented so it costs more cause it was an upgrade
Always gear your main job first.
okay that makes more sense
ty all ! ❤️
What are some sunglasses glam?
Why not?
EDIT: Oh, "what" not "why"
Hmm

what are the requirements to unlock emex'?
Clear Emerald Weapon Normal and do the unlock
for EmEx
emerald weapon normal is unlocked through msq?
No
No
It's a 
You need to have beaten Ruby and sapphire weapon
Part of the Sorrows of Werlyt side quests.
Well be getting diamond weapon in either 5.5 or 5.55
oh damn
Pfft. We're getting the moon cannon in 6.0
Best trial in ShB is still sos imho
diamond will be 5.5
What barding is this?
no barding
Ye
Oh that makes my life a lot simpler
Just a different colored chocobo
Just got me a black chocobo
Or maybe it's the default color?
no, default colour for chocobo is yellow
black chocobo?
Yes, you feed it food
don't you get that through the msq
to make it change color
Thats only a mount
This one is a companion chocobo
(Mount + Fighter)
That's just the normal chocobo given from the side quest
dyed black
black chocobo from msq can't have its barding changed
And it can't fight either
You can turn your GC chocobo's plumage a whole rainbow of colors by feeding it the right foods.
Yeah
Its just super expensive
like it prolly cost me 200-250k
to make my bird black
Smhsmh game gonna make me do the entire game just to do things that get money
So i can own a house
Ah yes. The dream.
Getting money is the easy part of getting a house
You could probably get an apartment instead, which is not only much cheaper, but much easier
No camping of a placard for 20+ hours hoping you're the first one to click the buy button
you can
you can always garden at your FC house
just can't crossbreed
You can have flower pots
Yes
you can make money without crossbredding
How 😳
Other things also sell
voidrake/Althyk Lavender
How much does dat make 😳
look at what you can exchange them for, and see which one of those sells well
you would have to look at your own marketboard
Am I able to residence share an apartment
Currently sitting at ilvl 515; is this sufficient for progging e9-12s?
No. Apartments are single-occupancy.
F
Yes, 12 is 510 minimum so
515 should be enough to get started with prog.
Thanks

Where can I get x4 Phials of aetherial sealants?
Did they fix the FATE drop rate for the Relic Quest 2nd part of the 2nd weapon?
with poetics from either mor dhona or idyllshire
I got Aetherial sealants with poetics
but not the actual phials
do I also get the phials on said stores with poetics?
Those are the phials
I need them to realocate stats on my weapon
the aetherial sealants are the phials
but the npc wont take em
😦
Oh i need to go to house of splendors it seems
not the allagan node npc
do we know when 5.55 is coming?
Is there any way to increase the odds of getting the shadowless chestpice of fending?
I legit can't obtain it
Nope
I have never once seen it either in my 80+ runs of the dungeon
I have every other set just about
You search for ventures craft items in the MB one by one by name, or is any option to see the demand of venture items?
Anyone know roughly how long it would take to level an alt to 50?
!faq leveling
2-3 days
Hm the link didn’t work for me, but thanks!
!faq level
!faq altlvlguide
That what you looking for?
Anyone here have an updated leve guide since the XP buffs for crafter levels etc?
Also is Rogue not available until later in the story? It wasn’t relevant to me in my main play through but the story seemed to suggest it was a later feature
It's available after you finish your first class's level 10 class quest and when you have access to Limsa.
Quick exploration ventures has a chance to give items which sell very well on MB, whereas the 18 hr exploration ventures gives usually similar level monster drops (if DoW) or crafting mats (if DoL)
So maybe 40 minutes in, if you start as arcanist or marauder.
Oh well sweet! I was afraid you’d have to get to that part with Yugiri or something
nope
Rogue was added in a later patch I believe, so that's why it is not available at the game start
note that you still start as level 1 if you switch to rogue
Yea, it was added in 2.4 and was the first new class added after 2.0 launch and before expansion jobs, so it's a bit funky
Yes, blu was added in 4.5
And despite that being Stormblood, it doesn't require the expansion
but lvl 60-70 blu does. kinda weird
how does prismatic works on e11n?
i swear it's so different from savage we wiped twice
Yea, but that's a recent addition. Blu was originally capped at 50.
There's 8 clones...if your clone doesn't raise its sword but your partner on the other side does (usually indicated by them moving in), then that lane isn't safe
in normal
In normal there's only 3 clones and theyre all next to each other
So you can just run around and find one and just stay next to it
Why are Hydatos instances generally more quiet?
yeah for e11n just pop sprint and run around the perimeter of the arena
that's really all there is to it
as soon as you find a clone, run out of its aoe and just start jumping to signal to other people
thank you, worked out
So, are there particular stats different GC gear lean towards, or not really?
Dow exactly does "deaths drain LB gauge" work?
If everyone is dead at the same time, it resets

Even if someone is in the process of raising
deaths don't drain it moreso they delay/reduce the amount of gauge gained if its not a full wipe
since resources have to go into raising and weakness happens
what gc gear? the combat ones?
the set bonus and the GC bonus aren't really worth mentioning/gearing towards
I just got in DR and people kept dying left and right, When I died, there were only 3 deads including me, but the lb gauge completely reset from 2.5 bars to zero. I've seen similar things before too.
are you sure someone didn't disconnect
Is AV's Lance as expensive as the mount?

Thats a bit of a shame, but at least I have something cool if I want to start floor tanking
yeah the combat gear
afaik the equivalents across GCs are the same bonus
and still isn't worth chasing
since there are better or easier to obtain options
okay, so I shouldn't worry about gear when it comes to GC then?
So after this Petrel Horn sells, what can I do with the 6.5 mil gil?
what would you guys recomend as a good clicky fast paced dps class
if you need to ask what to do with it you should probably save it for when you figure it out ^^
Whatever you want with ig
Its your money
that's enough for a small plot
ninja for the apm
ooh okay ill look into it
Ninja isn't even that high apm anymore
Its just ta windows
And its inflated by mudra inputs
what other class has more buttons to press?
Machinist
it seems a lot more easy and braindead
Hyper charge windows have a lot
yeah i'm mch main
mch has pretty much the least decision making out of all the classes
hmm okay, idk if I want decision making or apm
Decision making =//= apm
if its any info, i find AST really fun and RDM is too slow
Do EXP bonuses stack? E.g. well rested, food, FC, etc.?
i figured he would want something with lots of decision making but maybe i misinterpreted his statement
Ninja doesn't really have decision making anyway, it all fits nicely with tricks cooldown
Great, thanks
well i guess the best thing to do would be to look at some vods of end game gameplay for some of the classes people suggested here and see what looks interesting to you
thats probably the call
Basically any ranged dps really...Bard has lots of procs...mch has Hypercharge...dancer has fan dances and Techincal windows
yeah ive heard bard and mch are good for what I want
dancer was a bit brainless for me
they are easier classes to play if you wanna get into end game raiding
well ill probably raid on my PLD or AST, i just want a dps cause its nice to play different classes
yeah of course
yeah :)
i think learning different roles helps you get better at your own
oh definately
gives you more of an overall understanding of the game
Is there a good AST guide? I just picked it up and there are like no in-game explanations for how the cards work really
!faq astguide
Action and traits
Weskalber also does a video
Thanks so much!
enjoy, super fun job :)
Maybe I rushed the tutorial but I couldn’t even tell how draw/play functioned
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pomcD5GYJ8Q&t=2610s i recomend this vid
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Astrologians how to Astrologian properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining every skill and going into a greater and higher level ...
But I have been looking forward to this class for a long time, so willing to hunker down and learn it front to back
it's quite pretty, if you like that kinda thing
Thank you for the vids and guides!
how do I swap between realms and how much does it cost?
Permanently or temporarily?
you can world visit for free by going to either of the starting towns aetherytes
home world transfers cost 18 dollars, except when going from congested to Preferred
in which case it's free
what does world visit mean?
It means you travel to another server on the same datacenter. You can't join FCs or use retainers, but other features remain intact.
What happens to your FC and housing if you world transfer?
good samurai guides?
!faq samguide
Boxer's Beginner's Guide:
http://bit.ly/SAM-Guide
Jahaudant's Shadowbringers Compendium:
http://bit.ly/SAM-Compendium
You have to relinquish your house and (if you're the GM of the FC) give leadership to someone else before you transfer.
If you're not the GM of the FC, then you'll just be removed from the FC when you transfer.
that second link is like a dissertation jesus christ
So just the GM has to stay in the original FC world?
or disband the FC
^
Ok that’s what I thought. Thanks!
In e11s, does Burnished glory do physical or magical damage?
so i cleared the entire normal tier from 1 to 12 and i still don't have savage unlocked. any help? i want to do savage e9s.
How to you view what EXP bonuses are active?
I don't think there's anything that shows a break down of the bonuses. Just the chat log saying (+100%) and the road to 70 buff if you have it.
blue quest in am areng
Talk to Lewrey in Ahm Araeng to unlock eden savage
Ah rats
how long do you think the msq for shadow bringers from stormblood without cutscenes, and instant queues take?
on average
for shb like 10-15 hours
||that's when you like complete the hades fight right?||
yes
i just finished doing this. i am very fast at that and it took like 15 hours
a bit more

Best settings for making graphics look the best?
Since i got a god pc and can handle the best experience possible for this game
How much of an upgrade is law's order augmented over emerald?
Slight
@remote lintel wat nvidia filters to use
Its mainly just abit more substats and more favourable substats
ah
@cobalt mauve hey Dot, stuff like reshade is good, there's also like a ray trace.fx for it
I use a combination of nvidia game works + reshade and this si how it looks for mke
Its fine
I'd rather use something that's fine like Nvidia filters
||message: ||
@cobalt mauve reshade is allowed, just don't talk about it or affect anyone's experience ingame just how damage parsers
they don't also trigger any anti cheat they don't hook onto anything
i use color, brightness/contrast, and details and just change the sliders to however you want it to look
Another one about graphical Improvements, that I wanted to make.
Sorry for the lack of script again, but I am already working on another video.
And don't worry, there is also a possible solution for Team Red (AMD), that I will cover in another one, if I can borrow an AMD GPU.
Here are the videos about Gshade, if you want an in-depth graphical b...
brightness might take a bit tweaking but the color is good
Is there more than just the absolute lance?
like, maybe an absolute greatsword, tome
Ah. I see. I thought he would have had more because he could also use all classes' two hour skills.
back in FF11
Can you get his bracelets?
No, there's the minion inside BA iirc
You can get an AV minion in BA?
Believe so. The minion exists so
Yeah it's called conditional virtue
Does the free to play timer start the countdown on launcher login, or when you actually get in game?
login
login at the launcher?
yes
shit. damn it
I got a new pc, and i thought i could just login and update the client. Didn't realize that's when the timer started. Ugh. No more free 96 hours...
can you bind resetting striking dummy emnity to a key or do you have to right click for it each time
Right click
when do I get that coffer of ilvl 90 gear
Level 50 job quest
lvl 50 job quest
ah okay
why are some of the gear slots white in the small preview thingy at the bottom
Their spiritbond is at 100%
Does Delebrum give EXP?
No
what is a spiritbond
Delebrum is 80 only, unlike CLL
It allows you to make materia
ah ok
she was always rdm
Really
kinda
she was a paladin with a magic sword
shes an arc in ARR
Ahhh ty haha I totally forgot
arc is archer
U mean arcanist?
acn
is there a way to set ACT meter only for party? lol
what is that icon?
party leader
what is the random letters at the end or beginning of the names of enemies
Just something to id and distinguish them
Old school target designation
Okay what is the difference between Target Circle and Target Select (controller)? I still have not seen a difference between those or the Ignore Depth vs. Cone
Target circle is soft targetting, aka temporary target
Ah
It swaps you back to your original target after using 1 skill on whatever had the target circle unless you press X to confirm it as your new target
Any idea about the Ignore Depth vs. Cone?
hey, I have a question. The ffxiv database says there's 5 different housing types for each size, ranging from low to high price. When buying a house or looking at housing plot, how does one know which one of these types it it?
aether is eu data center or na?
aether is na
NA
ty
There's maps that show what grade that plot is
how do I access these maps and know the grade?
Just Google them
is the grade the same all the time or does it change?
grade just indicates what its max/min prices are going to be
fifth class plots are "less desirable" and therefore going to be cheaper in price with first class being "more desirable" and thus more expensive
so what makes the more or lessdesireable
the view mostly
Its location
further from MB or summoning bell
Yeah grade is just for pricing. It’s theoretically based on how nice the plot is for views and stuff, but they are silly a lot of the time. And anyway you can just see for yourself if you like the view or not
what dictates the grade is entirely up to SE
my medium house is a 5th grade plot and is right next to a marketboard and bell
There are tons of grade 5 plots that I like better than lower grade stuff
I don’t think proximity to MB or bell factors into grade
Since those were added later
almost all of the houses on the beach in shirogane and mists are grade 1
because they have better view/are beach front houses
so grade 1 is high?
grade 1 is the "best" house
but its ultimately pretty subjective, cos i think my house's view is great
ultimately as i said, the grade 1-5 just dictates how much the plot is going to cost
Yes but really all that it does is raise the price. Like I said there are plenty of grade 5 plots I personally like better
I would not move into a lower grade plot just because it’s designated as such. I’d look at it and decide if I personally like it

I would still most likely need to buy shadowbringers when endwalkers comes out, right
shadowbringers would come with endwalkers
endwalker will include shadowbringers
oh, so is it even worth buying shadowbringers now
If you dont wanna wait 6 months
To get to current content
And fine sitting on trial for that long
well im not on trial
Well then paying for a sub to be locked at 60
Or just not playing for X time to save money
While you wait
I guess I will buy it then, 6 months is a long time
I done the omega raid because of the kefka fight but i found out his angel form is only on the savage ver. Is all the harder version of trials have an second form to them?
Not all
Only a select few
Mainly just the last fight of each savage raid tier
For a savage exclusive phase is any
I see; thanks for the prompt reply. I will now pay more attention to the savage raids.
Mind that mechanics matter even for older savages. You can very easily wipe to mechs even if overgeared.
System settings -> graphics
What's a reasonable amount of play time to expect to hit lvl 30?
less than a day
if you're doing MSQ/first timer probably more than a day
with road to seventy bonus, 4-5 hours

What is the hardest part of the Baldesion Arsenal?
limited rezzes
Not dying

You basically can’t be raised in-combat if your spirit of the remembered doesn’t proc
Outside of healer lb3
I have my Raid Discord Server (The one for crystal that helps people get through BA )found and ready to go in there, so I'm just prepping myself a bit more
Apparently, someone should bring Perception L to detect traps and BLM/Healers should have sleep on their hotbar to stop the Minotaurs from casting Berserk and wiping the whole raid
if this is your first time doing BA
just ignore all the extra roles
forget about perception users, or death, or spirit dart, or whatever
just bring the basic loadout and pay attention to callouts
don't worry about shit that's not your responsibility
guys i got all the 6 mounts of from primal how the quest isn't triggering for kirin quest mount
what's the 7th mount..
if it isn't your business then don't worry about it, just focus on staying alive and dodging the shit you need to
The OG 3, Leviathan, shiva, ramuh and I'm forgetting the last
nightmare
nightmare isnt part of it
theres 7
for the 2nd time, it's 7
titan, garuda, ifrit, levi, shiva and ramuh are the ones you need for the kirin
ifrit, shiva, leviathan, titan, ramuh, garuda
are you talking to the minstrel in mor dhona
there is no 7th
yeah
Player can start the quest by talking to Wandering Minstrel in Mor Dhona (x21,y8). For the quest players need to have the Nightmare Mounts: Aithon, Xanthos, Gullfaxi, Enbarr, Markab, and Boreas.
not for ARR
Moggle Mog doesn’t have a mount drop
7 ponies but 6 for the achievement
Same for ultima
I do not have Aithon..
that's ifrit
yeah that one is called nightmare
no
unless there's 2 drops
also to get the HW bird mount, you need bismark, ravana, warring triad, thordan, and nidhogg?
2 drops
nightmare is not part of the required mounts
_>
nightmare can drop from garuda/titan/ifrit
Nightmare can drop from all 3 OG primals
any reason it's showing as pink on a very early wipe?
@dark copper yes
that just means you did your opener right
sure
a little harder (3.3 vs 3.0) but still easy to unsync
they both die in like 5 seconds
if you wiped really early then it's comparing your damage to everyone else's
assuming your gear is bis or close as well
pretty much everyone should be able to get a 95 or higher in the first 30 seconds of a fight
6 pieces off bis
Thats probably it
on another pull our summoner got a 100 It confused the hell out of me
for the recruit a friend
can i have someone who is already into the game enter my code?
have they paid their sub?
yes
Should try to not take uncleared pulls as a measure for progress
They get kinda funky with how th parse numbers work out
Understandable

You can make materia with it
How comparable is the difficulty of Coils synced compared to Savage raids?
Is it normal not to see a PF ad that I've put up not anywhere in PF?
they are pretty much savage difficulty
Oh, it's there. Nevermind.
when exactly do the orchestrions "A Dream in Flight" and "Ending" play?
a dream in flight iirc is the end of the omega raid series
want to say ending is also part of omega
thanks guys i was able to get the kirin!
right, I just didn't remember there being two different themes
where is the track "sunset" [shadowbringers ost disc 1 track 11] from?
suzaku's transition
is there a droprate difference for timeworn artifacts in PotD between the different floors?
Unknown iirc
I've heard higher drop rate beyond floor 100 but I got two drops going from 1-20
Do we know the droprate for the dodo mount from platinum haloed sacs ?
If it aint 100% or 0% then we dont know and anything is anadotal
hey if i leave a duty cus my game crashed and i can't log back in does another player with the same class join or not?
only if you're kicked from the party
but like just the game closed another player can't join?
because you are still in that duty
only if you're kicked
once you log back in, you are still in the party
ok thx for the help
the party will have to physically remove you, and only if the duty has elapsed for longer than 10 minutes
what happens if the party leader is afk?
does party just vote abandon?
anyone can initiate a kick
only thing party lead does in a DF instance is press the "recruit new players" button
If I buy a home, how much do I have to pay and to who for the how long/whatever is the bill?
2mil to 5 mil for a small plot, up front
large plots are 30 mil+
Which BLU spells should I get first if i just want to farm fates with it ?
once you own it + put a house in, just go into the house at least once every 45 days
Do I have to keep paying money to someone to hold the house?
you have to be subbed to keep the house
due to auto-demolition of houses after 45 days of inactivity
subbed + going into the home at least once every 45 days
and you cannot pay someone else (ie a roomate) to do it for you
I believe the owner must enter the house every 45 days to prevent auto-demo
yes
meanwhile, apartments last forever, you continue to own the apartment even while non-subbed
The hard part is getting a plot in the first place
Let's assume I got 50 mil gil
Will these be enough to get a home so I can put a stable and change my chocobo's color?
50 mil will prob get you a mansion
Hmm....Maybe not a mansion, I don't want to overdo it.
prices of plots will vary depending on the grade, and how long the plot has been on sale
the longer the plot has been unoccupied, the cheaper it will be
apartments come with stables
Maybe I'll just get an apartment, then.
The idea of having my own place to be even if I am not sub and not losing it ever is good.
-Is it true that people roleplaying it too hard, pretending to have their characters "too old" and just walk around, talking/acting like it's real life in the plot's neighborhoods?
Something like, sims life.
i hardly ever see rp in neighborhoods
Ah btw, Cerberus, what's the mask your Viera has in your pfp?
I made a Viera -master race- character and been looking to put on a nice mask besides glasses.
it's also extremely difficult to make "an old" character appearance wise in FFXIV
!iglam Augmented Crystarium Halfmask of Casting
tanks dont really have a lot of half masks
I should stay away from exploring other people's homes, then.
Any chance you can "lock" your home so when you are alone/away, nobody will be able to enter?
there are also specific clubs dedicated to RP, and it's open to the public
although to be honest, i'm quite new to the concept myself
so i'm not sure how it works
I tried it when I was too young and edgy, 17 years ago. Didn't liked, like, spent 10 mins and was like cringed so bad.
lmao
I'm looking at the macros and I wanted to know, what is the use of pull macros ?
And also in the faq is there any tutorial to do those fancy macro menu with the hotbars ? Because I'm not sure which one to pick with the bot to find those.
Pull macros were the old way we used to have a countdown to the start of the fight
Before they added /countdown
#protips-and-ui should have some ui macros
Ok thanks !
how should i do the first 15 levels on a new job
Hunting logs
Dethi - Another thing some folks do is set a "Pull time" based on Eorzea time, since it's universal to everyone in the zone. So if it's 7:00 PM ET in game, you'll say "Pull at 7:15" so people can prep. THat's used where you don't have shared groups like open world fates, Eureka, etc

Where are these shiny weapons from?
ultimates
how do you get them?
doing the epic of alexander ultimate
By doing Alexander ultimate
the hardest content in the game
TEA is the hardest fight in the game right? or are all 3 equal
TEA is the hardest
the Stormblood ones are 'easier' in terms of DPS due to ShB scaling
but you still have to see most or all the mechanics anyways
(because you still have to be synced anyways)
By your opinion, if, a small apartment is more affordable, stays forever with you, and has all the necessary things + stable, isn't it a better/more solid option than buying a home which need you to be paying sub and visit it once every 45 days at least? -which, by the way, has the same things as the small apartment but with more open outside(?) space.
you can have gardens in a house and more space
apartments are smaller and don't have outside furnishing
apartments are 1 small room
So, basically, I am buying a hotel/inn room?
basically
That's still awesome by me tbh
I got 3 mil with me
I wonder if I can find a good apartment.
its 500k
That's perfect, I might go grab one just to have it and change my chocobo's color.
I also read it has market board + retainer bell too.
That's insane.
depends on the house id be able to score honestly
the market boards and retainer bells are in the residential areas
but yea if you dont plan on staying subbed consistently its probably not worth gettinga house
Hey, can anyone link (or PM) me a server that organises DR Savage runs on Light? Cant find any :/
I may drop it again and return way later, idk, but honestly, I don't mind living in a small apartment.
Or you can join fc and live in a private chamber
In your opinion, which place/expansion/map has the MOST beautiful area, besides Kogane?
I liked the Japanese theme and music but feels boring too quickly at some point.
btw if you are in a FC, you can rent a FC apartment for 300,000 gil
mists is nice
might be a better option if you want to save some gil
I'm not in FC and not interested to join one.
lavender beds
that being said if he goes in active and gets booted from the fc he loses his room
lots of flowers
gridania
gridania
gridania
Gridania it is, then!
my fc house is in thegoblet 
I will go to Gridania and find it out. If I am stuck somewhere -as always- I'll let you know.
at least goblet has a pool
mines the large gob 30
nowhere near the pool, its the seperate one on a cliff with a small
lmao
If we're on the same server, I will come to nag you outside of your home, Cerberus.
that being said, i have enough water, my personal is a med 19 shiro beachfront
-Ceeerbeeeruuuus-kuuun! Aaasooobuuu!
i live in an apartment in kugane
I was in Kugane hours ago lol
I live in a small in kugane
Peasant

#general-discussion if you don't have questions or need help please
Alright.
Yep.
yea, if you wanna be able to access it from teh aetheryte you gotta do the quest where the heart is (lavender beds)
if you do the quest "where the heart is (lavender beds)" then you can teleport to the residential area from gridania
Ah, alright, makes sense. I'll check the area first and see if I really like it.
Ho boy...so, from my understanding, each area is a "pseudo" cell room of different homes, basically, a map with homes and neighborhood/residential area?
Oh, alright.
Which one to go to?
From where can I get the dyeable version of level 70 AF gear?
doesnt matter
@leaden ginkgo have to do eureka
I just reached pagos and still have no idea where is the dyeable version
you trade it in with the crystals you get
it's in anemos
from gerolt
ok!
oh ty!
Critical question: If I ever get bored/want to change homes, can I give this land away and go buy another one in another area?
for houses you can relocate
just going to say, that's a full apartment building
What about apartment?
No
Oh...so, if I buy it I can never leave?
you just buy another apartment in the area you want iirc
you'd have to relinquish the apartment and buy a new one in the new housing area
oh
ok that's what I meant earlier
that's fair
ty
is there a place i can put up my refer a friend thing?
||isnt Magnai’s axe Titan extreme axe? How did he get that? >.> ||
no, its just the same model
there's a subreddit out there
Welp, they don't have any apartment available lol
Guess I'll go somewhere else, then.
check the later wards
i want to do nier raids and have everything unlocked for the copied factory, what's the fastest way i'll get a queue for it?
the older wards are more than likely going to be filled
queue dps in peak hours
also don't forget to check the subdivision
Where/how do I check these? The woman at the counter won't give me any other option.
go to another ward
so i just go DF any dps?
Oh
Any dps that qualifies
Nier raids’ queues are fast so nw
Item level, level 80 etc
how many people can you have use your RAF codes and get chocobo feathers for it? confused if the RAf page is saying 1 original + 5 subsequent or 5 total
dps have faster queues in alliance raids
you use the aethernets to switch to the subdivision, can just look at the map itself to see if the apartment building is full or not
if it has a red check, its full
5 total, plus the feathers you get from their sub time @silver ruin
Alliance raids have 24 players: 3 tanks, 6 healers and 15 dps. So you can see why dps will get you in faster
oh ok thanks kael
In order to go to another ward, I have to go outside and go back to the ferryman?
yeah i get that much, it says estimated wait time rn would be 12 minutes as a tank so i guess it can't hurt to wait
@leaden ginkgo yes
you don't have to leave the housing district
you can talk to the ferry man inside of the district to hop to a different ward
i got lucky lol hopped into a queue waiting for 3 healers only now
Okay, 3rd ward they got one for me and asked 500k gil. Now, how hard is it to change the Chocobo's color?
How hard is it to get a house? I've heard horror stories of people sleep depriving themselves and clicking on plots for 18 hours just to get a house in this game.
its rng
its a couple of hours
6 hours
basically use https://ffxivchocobo.com/en/
I remember there was a formula somewhere, showing you how to make colors
follow the feed order, and hope rng favours you
cos even with the calculator, its not an exact science
Hey Kael, do I need 18 hours and a pot of coffee to get a house?
potentially more
Does DNC's partnering with someone make them go fast?
like haste?
cuz i thnk i just got something like that
i'm attacking like... im on speed jesus
No
Is there a way to have weaponskills on a macro? whats the command
Just more damage
It doesn't
Don't macro any skills at all please
It's not good for combat
Haste is only in specific content
it's for 2 skills.
I'm going to macro gcd
which ones

Need some input. Is it ok to put my PC tower into the small cabinet on my computer shelf? I've heard maybe not because of the heat. Atm it's on my desk. Not too big an issue but I'd definitely enjoy the space
#technology-discussion is a better place to ask
Disembowled/chaos thrust on dragoon. Saved me a slot on my hotbar
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
you would worse dps than even the tank and healers
That won't do you much good when you get an extra 2 weapons kills to execute during your combo
Better to get used to having them all on your hotbar now
oooof probably not
trying to avoid pressing your buttons will only make you worse
as the devs intended it to be
If you're using a controller hotbar look into your configuration to enable segments that appear when you hold both triggers
Maybe put up a PF saying you need help finding a party? And mention that it'll give first time bonus, if it is your first time. Worse comes to worst, if it gets you even a few people, you could then queue with them.
It is weird that it's taking so long though, especially for tank
this looks like something for casting. I just want to have 2 weaponskills work as one so I can have space. I'm going to do it. fight me
And you'd get your ass beat in pvp due to dropped gcds too
macros dont queue
Especially since your macro will break if you weave
the video shows it as a spam. I'm not spamming these weapon skills though...
it doesnt matter
macros dont queue
meaning they are inherently slower
and you cant weave between them or it breaks
if it even goes off in the first place because theyre finnicky
Macros are super unreliable
Is there an actual practical use for Shukuchi. Doubt i can use it fast enough on controller to evade
is rdm > nin for aoe? for that matter, which class has the best aoe damage?
Doesn't matter
You see Shukuchi rarely. idk if it'd be worth trying it on controller, though
Iirc it can recharge a mudra later
is a shukuchi macro
But don't hold me to that
no it doesnt
!skill shukuchi
I think I was getting mixed up with enhanced shukuchi which resets shukuchi on certain mudra casts
👍
Weird as hell to use because its not functioning like how i expected. More or less a dash
thats basically all movement skills
Laughs in dnc
i use it pretty frequently on controller
What "binding" means in a gear? I can not sell those in MB, and I have a lot
it means you have equipped that item in an instance
It means your gear is bound to you
therefore it is "bound" to you
Oh yea also is the NIN air jump actually different from a regular jump ?
If you want to get into the nitty gritty it also means you've begun spirit bonding with the gear
... So like untradable ones, give it to the retainer?
@leaden ginkgo yes
once you reach 100% spiritbond "or bound" with a piece of gear, you can extract materia from it
@worthy rain you can turn it in for gc seals if youre a high enough rank
Basically bound gear is to prevent people from offloading their second hand gear on the market
Surprised. I thought it was just for aesthetics
Ohh
Best use is GC seals it seems... Untradable ones can be turn in for seals?
It's fun but that's about it
@worthy rain most of them yes
Most, it depends. UNTRADEABLE just means you can't trade it to another player
There's untradeable materials and potions too
It's specifically gear with colored portraits that can be traded in for gc seals
Except for purple as those are relics
Ok thanks 👍
how do I make this smaller? It covers up way too much of my screen, especially in combat
What do people send their botany retainers out for to make money? Miner and DoW/M seem obvious but I have no idea what to do with botany
Ingredients for food
What ingredients? They all seem to sell for 50gil or less
Ingredients for good that's in demand then craft the food
Don't post memes here please
How exactly do you report bots? I keep seeing them in Mor Dhona, or at least their names as their models seem to be underground attacking the mobs there.
they get banned in waves
So I should just ignore them?
If its that blatant yeah there's probably a cleanup scan every now and then
I understand, thanks 🙂
No one knows how to change this? I can't find a setting for whatever this dialogue is supposed to be called and it's killing me
you cant unless you scale your whole UI down
what a shame
any one of you big strong players wanna help me run a dungeon
when should I use living shadow?
on cd
cd?
cooldown
like in between moves?
Is it easier to do Weeping City or delubrum reginae for the relic
On cool down generally means as soon as it becomes available again
So it should always be "on cool down"
oh alright
It's free real esta- I mean damage
Is it recommended to switch classes? Or just stick with one I’ve been running lancer (lvl26) but was thinking maybe I wanted to switch to a tank..bad idea?
And your top priority for blood gauge
If you want to
Or better yet is there a sort of “progression” I know lancer turns into dragoon but is there something good to switch after that like samurai
play whatever you want
Your job doesn't lock you out on anything, pick whatever you want
Its your time
Your progression is story

!faq newplayertips
thank you
What's the thing for a Tell? I wanna cut a deal with a player after a dungeon
/tell firstname lastname@world
you can also go into social > contacts
that would list the most recent players in your party (which includes the party in your most recent instance)
that however, only works if said person you are trying to "tell" is on your world
you would have to world travel to their world in order to send them a dm
Is there any point in doing levelling roulettes from 70-80? I feel like they give so little xp compared to fates in bozja
I primarily do them for the GC seals and gil
But are there classes that would make more sense to switch to from your previous class? Like would a melee dps switch over to a tank well or it doesn’t affect it at all?
Tanks are melee dps vastly simplified, in a sense
And let’s say if I want to switch to a samurai (when I get up to that) do I need to have certain classes leveled to unlock kind of like in dragon quest 7 you need to classes to unlock a certain other class
well, you do need to own the expansion but that's a given, I'd assume
Although I am excited to become a dragoon
that, and have a job at the job unlock level
Yes that I know
👌
Ohh that I didn’t know but that makes sense
Like I can’t do samurai till lvl50 so I need a class at lvl 50 to switch?
yes
Cool
I know I’m also very wary i@ game but I hear everyone mention rotations and I understand what those are but is there a point in the game where it kind of explains that?
The game doesn't explain the concept of rotations, unfortunately
The game itself doesn't show you how your class is supposed to rotate
If you want to learn samurai properly, I'd recommend Wesk Alber youtube guides
In some sense there is intuitiveness to how they give you a kit
He gives you a rundown of each job/class as you level, and gives level specific rotations/openers
But a lot of it was mathed out by the balance
Furthermore, his content is tailored for people who are new at the game
Like looping on samurai isn't something people would automatically know to do on samurai
the game explains combos and abilities
rotations are when you combine the two to maximize effectiveness
fashion report starts on Friday
So, is there a general idea of how a new player should "progress" in the game? Like are there certain map routes they should take, Should they max level a job before moving on to another, etc.
Thank you
!faq newplayertips
basically just do msq
Progression in the game is primarily in the form of Main Story Quests
i’m not new but that amount of text is overwhelming >.>
I see. Do those take me throughout all the expansions? Im in Middle La Noscea, is this 1.0 content?
also you are provided quest markers on the map, so you don't have to figure out exactly where to go
yes
A Realm Reborn, right
the game starts with 2.0
i mean theres bigger test that tells you what each box is, like 2of the boxes are gearing up etc
A realm reborn is officially 2.0
so unlike WoW it will take me through all of FF14's main story, that's good
yes this is a story based game
Because it's the story, yes
Raids will get you used to mechanics and (sometimes) DPS checks
But the only way to prepare is to just dive in to the hard content
Most mechanics are 'unique' per raid, either in name or in how you deal with said mechanics
so you just learn as you go
