Tanks do like 70% of a dps
DRK has some cool damage modifiers
Imagine not dpsing
Healers like 60%
Damage in fights is scripted as hell
i thought this game was like WoW tanks do 0 damage healers do 0 and the only classes that do dps are DPS lol
Which makes it easy to know when you need to heal or when you can do damage
this isnt wow
Forget wow
nah wow and ffxiv is different
The game is balanced and designed with the idea that when it's not necessary to be healing (or using cds), tanks and healers are doing damage.
And far as tanks..expect to pull two packs
Unlike wow, shit is actually balanced
if you dont dps, no matter what role you are, you will piss people off and be a liability
i mean since you can play all classes on one character its pretty nice

lol
That shit will get you kicked
In one of the newer 24-man raids, with the help of duty-specific actions/items, I can actually be top or near-top DPS as a healer
wynne flexing
Now you dont dps 24/7 as healer. Just dps on occasion
Well
WHM gets that 120% dmg boost right? whats it called again
You end up dpsing 99% of the time
i literally downloaded the game 10mins ago lo i just wanna play dk they look cool but im playing the paladin class I think 
You can dps at least 75% of the time as healer
ah
!faq abc
You dont buy classes
Basically if you don’t need to cast a heal, you cast damage
you can main both if you want
You level them up
^
Why use gcds to heal when SE gives you way too many off global heals
whats a gcd heal
whats a gcd at all
Blood for the blood god
healer damage is significant
how do i know when I'm msq lvl 20?
when the msq youre on is lvl 20
you have less to heal if the things are dead faster
Look in your journal
Basically, compared to WoW, this game is extraordinarily well-balanced. All classes have good capability to do damage and also perform any additional role (tank or healer).
- what about armor in this game, WoW cosmetics are ok what about plate armor for paladin and Dark knight are they good? 2) cash shop armor any good?
huh
cash shop? uhhh
Glamour is the true endgamr
Cash shop armour is glamour only
We dont do p2w here
Cash shop stuff has 0 stats
like guildwars 2 quality good?
Unlike WoW, ilevels are fairly static.
gw2
go look at it
i like gw2 cash shop
Technically pvp is currently p2w
well pvp is not that well...seen here
who tf plays pvp
The small majority
gearing in this game is linear until endgame
Theres pvp?
what happens then
get gear. Raid, struggle with getting gear and repeat
then you have multiple gear sets to choose from and you get bis if you want
Gear is still fairly linear at endgame.
!faq altlvlguide
you only lvl boosted, you're still gonna have to do MSQ
im just offline rn looking at ff14 guides but is there dalies and proffessions to make money in this game like gathering and leather working and black smithing?
yes there are crafters and gatherers
All the crafters and gatherers
yes but they work differently than wow
theyre each their own class
You level them all ideally
you can be all of them at once too
Crafting and gathering are also complete jobs of their own
They have stats/gear/actions
????????????
yes
You still need to do the Shadowbringers story :)
jobs like dark knight and paladin?
Yes
Yep
Yes
yes, but crafting
Basically
Those are tanks
WTF?
You physically change to them
blacksmiths in can enter raids? lol?
no
Crafting and gathering is a completely different game
You need a battle class to progress story
**can enter
they are for crafting
no
o
no
Yep
Lets raid crafters only fams
CUL LB3
But crafters do have their own skills you have to use to create items. It's not like WoW where you press a button and you're done
You can't just play the game as a pure crafter, ff14 is a final fantasy game first, mmo second

Any advice on the bard songs? I'm hoping to get my first at lvl....idk was it 35?
So you still have to be the warrior of light, but he crafts/gathers on the side
you can unlock performance right after you get bard
Use them on cd.
In rotation
using performance in general
just mess around with it?
Get good at being a musician
learn how to play the piano?
well im removing black desert lol that game sux gonna play ff14 then
Can i play the trombone
yes
I will admit bdo has the best charcter creator
as a tank i need str and vitality?
more strn=im more able to tank and do damage?
Yep
aggro isnt an issue in this game
Strength increases your damage
!trait tank mastery
More damage = more aggro
(All tanks have this)
Your tank stance like Iron will gives ALL your attacks a 10x aggro multiplier
o
in raiding VIT isnt as important as damage and doing mechanics correctly
You can literally aoe a few times then afk and not lose aggro
vit isnt as important in general because it comes with better gear
99% of your stats come from gear which is class locked to a degree, so as long as you're wearing tank gear you'll have appropriate stats
Man finding low level groups for msq sucks ;-;
will my healers heal me?
Yes
they wont let me die ?
Thats their job
Unless you've pissed them off or they suck
Healer's job is to keep people alive first, kill things second.
Tank's job is the hold aggro first, kill things second.
If your health isn't 0 you're fine, stop being a baby
^
tanks are afraid to use their invuln moves because they do things like drop your hp to 1
oh which server do i choose im from canada which is an active server i dont wanna go on a innactive realm then cant find groups
insert living dead
Fucking gunbreaker giving me heart failure
Any NA data centre
Any NA world will do.
They're all in the same physical location
Aether/Primal are what most people play on for pug raiding, while Crystal has more RP and usually leans more towards statics
(Aether/primal still do statics, they just like doing stuff in party finder)
Average wait times are a freaking lie
Average wait times are an average
^
what are the names of the nier outfits?
Meaning some people have a longer wait, and some have a shorter.
which ones @silver lintel
It can also depend on what you're queuing for
the 2b one?
tbh any but yeah i guess mostly 2b
Hello i was wondering how move up in the grand company rank?
Yorha Type 51/53 for gear
no.2 type b
Like 3 full sets drop from the first nier raid
Talk to the quartermaster at your grand company base and apply for promotions
@toxic trellis buy promotions with seals, some ranks require you to do the hunting log and blue quests
ye, i'm just looking at files for a bit, i can't do the nier raid yet
And most people already have one so it's super easy to get
ah ok thanks
so is there party finder and like what can I use it for all late game dungeons/raids or do i need to manually find a party for end game raids and join a discord etc
Speak to the Quartermaster and request a promotion. As long as you've met the requirements and have sufficient GC seals, you can gain promotions up to Lieutenant rank
There's party finder yes
Party finder exists.
@silver lintel copied factory drops yorha type-51 and no.2 type b coffer, puppet bunker drops yorha type-53
Party finder is cross server within the data centre
o cool
Most people use duty finder for casual content like dungeons and normal mode raids
is there heroic raids too
Party finder is for the harder stuff like extreme trials and savage raids.
Free companies are the guilds and primarily social, most dont raid within their free company/guild
casual content is matchmade, endgame content uses party finder
@faint flare How come
wait
Extreme and savage are the “hard” difficulties for here.
Because raiding purely in a FC is limiting
end game raids use party finder
like 10/10 late game?
Party finder is more like setting up a listing, but yeah it’s doable.
You can queue up for everything, but generally the hardcore raids will use a manual party finder
o
Party finder is you putting up a listing and people joining
people dont queue for endgame content because doing it with randos is awful
so they use premade parties
You also can't DF current tier Savage
if i do a raid am i locked out for a week?
For that one
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
In savage
could you imagine doing e8s with randoms and light's rampant lmao
for current tier NORMAL raids, you can get 1 loot token per floor per week
for savage raids its the kupo message above
is it hard to like get good gear in this game?
And you can run the instance as many times as you want to get the specific token you want for Normal.
no
No
It's very easy to get good gear.
Very easy
theres time gating
It's easy to have decent gear
It’s super easy to get baseline stuff for starting savage
It's hard but not unreasonable to have the best gear
Endgame crafted gear can be bought off the Marketboard and is good enough to try all of a savage tier, for the most part.
what is savage tier
endgame raids
The high end raids
where do i queue for minstrel's ballad: tsukuyomi?
the endgame difficulties are extreme > savage >>>>>>>> ultimate
Its under the standard duty finder
Stormblood section
Through party finder is recommended however
As its technically an extreme
In everything but name
No? It's literally an extreme.
extremes either have the extreme tag or the minstrel's ballad tag
it is an extreme there's no debate
am I crazy, or didn't you use to have to level other Jobs to unlock Role abilities back in the day
You did.
yes
Thats cross class
That was removed in 4.0
yes cross classing existed
They changed it back in Stormblood
thank God for that
Role actions do still ignore level sync iirc
Hey. How do I execute signal to Master Chai. I left clicked, but he didn't go
You click on him
Which summoner relic is the one with bahamut effects ?
anima iirc
Anemos also has wings
resistance one has wings in the recollection step
Far quicker to get
Is there a cat ears headgear or the only way to get those is through the miqo'te race?
TIL foxes are apparently cats
lol

fox ears could work though
you can also get those ears through faux leves if you hate yourself
!iglam Tamamo Headband
They feel so weird on miqo'te
oh okay, thanks for showing me these
Guys in order to powerlevel a DOH I need to unlock grade 3 recipes, for which I need to complete the firmament quests, for which I need a DOH to lv 50 in the first place
so is there another way to do this?
im lv 22
you can just power level them in the firmament?
Ishgard restoration is lv20 minimum
is there way
to check eureka level
without having to go back to spawn every 2 seconds
Where do I start isgard restoration?
Ishgard, you need any lv60 job
Your eureka level is in the same place that your normal level is
I don't know what you mean by having to go back to spawn
oh
i removed that out the way lol
i removed my level meter
cuz 90% of my classes are 80
Then put it back
Then click O to check your team
But yeah it's always available in the party menu
i see it now thanks lol
Whatever opens your party member window or player search
when you’re in a low lvl dungeon are all your stats capped to a specific value regardless of gear? like if i’m in sastasha with lvl 50 gear vs. lvl 80 gear, will i do more dmg with lvl 80 gear?
no
They're capped
if theres no specific ilvl sync then youre synced to the highest ilvl of the expac
There's an ilevel sync as well for most content.
so then why is shb relic BiS for all ultimates ?
Because it has 3 different substats
because materia
Because you can reallocate to max out multiple substats
but i thought those stats are capped/synced regardless
another question how do u ge tthe shits to unlock more elements for eureka
as in, every wep is the same
or does relic make an exception
I think I did isgard restoration questline without knowing lol
You only put in so much into one stat to cap that when synced
Yes, but you can put something like 280/280/280/280 in different substats and that's the cap for UCoB
nope, thats for ranking, which is finished. you can still level in it tho
You effectively bypass the Stat caps by allocating the excess stats into another stat
what does that mean exactly
Because you still have 1167 points to allocate across the weapon
how do i get more shts for elements in eureka
So you put them into each stat properly so they go up to the ilvl sync cap, then go to the next stat
When there's a short downtime, how do you decide between spamming meditate, anatman, or form shift?
if you cant hit the boss?
Right, but what should the priority be?
Mediate
Form shift just before it comes back, or leave the buff with enough time so its still up for when it returns
i dun rly get it XD
I thought stats are specially capped per dungeon and u can never exceed unless ur ilvl matches that dungeon and therefore u can apply melds
Ucob will sync your substats yo 280
With standard weapon, you'll have 2 different substats whicu can't br changed
@jovial tide meditate is a sam skill, i assume youre talking about monk?
He means the skill that charges chakra
Yea
So those two substats will be pushed down to 280 and there's nothing you can do about it
However with Shb relic, you can change the substats
substats are... dex crit, etc right
So, you ONLY put 280 points into each
Str, int, dex, mnd are main stats
Crit, DH, det etc are substats
Lets take a normal weapon...it has 800 crit and 500 det as a random number, these will be synced down to 280 each and there's nothing you can do
Losing these substats
However with the relic, you can change and shift the numbers around
Normally people cap relic at 510 in two stats and dump the rest into another stat
how to get more magicites????
Which would lead to points being lost
Level up and do the quests
i did the level 3 quest
which is the next one
2 substats get pushed to 280, but 1 is left alone?
However you can adjust the stats to only put in 280, thus they're already "capped" when synced and what would have been lost stats have been allocated elsewhere
hm
Anything not under 280 is under the cap and wont be adjusted
So you just shift the points over on your relic
so... if your substats are already at cap, it allows u to put more point in a different substat?
Capped when looking at the sync cap
similar to how u need to match the ilvl for ultimate in order to apply melds
Remember, Shadowbringers relics have 1167 points to allocate
You can spread these out
ahh hit 13 kk
thanks
u can spread those points into crit det and dh
2 of the stats must be 280 for ucob
right
As any points over will be pushed down and effectively lost
So you just put them elsewhere
where?
Not if its over the 280
i thought it’s crit dh det
speed
oo
On tanks, they dont have DH and have tenacity instead
And healers have piety instead of DH
As DH isn't a tank/healer stat innately
? wha i thought they get pushed to 280 regardless of what they’re at
How do you lock the chat box so I can't move it or resize it anymore?
so each stat will be synced down to a certain amount? not flat 280 across the board?
OH
The cap is per stat
@frosty crater you cant afaik
so if i have a weapon that already exceeds each of the synced caps
i still don’t see it actually nvm
LMAOO
Any substat that is over the sync cap threshold will be pushed down
Any substat under it wont be touched
Yes
oh?
ok ok
Which is why on the relic you spread out the points to get multiple stats under the threshold
There's lots of weapons that do
yeah that’s why i’m confused XD
oooh
Relics allow free stat allocation on whatever you want, out of the 4 substats of your role
Yes, because Shadowbringers relics have 1167 stat points to allocate
You can put them wherever you want
so DH has never been addable to healer relics?
Maybe anima
i mean like DH, det, and crit
Cause of accuracy?
hmm ok
No, its out of the 4 substats of that role
oh ok ok
Dps pick from Crit, dh, det and speed
Tanks pick from crit, det, speed and tenacity
Healers pick from crit, det, speed and piety
makes a bit more sense now actually thank u
You can allocate those 1167 points however you want
well but even if they give me 372727273 points it won’t matter cuz it’s gonna be synced to 280
that’s what i’m thinking
Yes, you would just spread out those points across the 4 substats
is it possible to macro in an ability after a gear set change?
So you have 4 stats being synced opposed to 2
/ac "Fists of Earth" <wait.5>```
/Ac "skill name"
oki
After the gear swap
this does not work using this code
/ac "Fists of Earth" <wait.5>```
so the reason why it’s better is because it has 4 sub stats and normal weapons only have 2
You may want a wait.1 with the swap
Yes
okay THAT makes sense
You're effectively putting whatever stats thst would have been lose due to syncing into another stat with the relic
anyone know if the shb relic 515 is its final form yet? or theres still more later on
No
there will be more
so a 525 step and a 535 step i assume
They make them, they're the nerds
for leveling rotations weskalber on youtube
how many poetics does it take to reset stats on a shb relic
How do I move the dialogue box in cutscenes?
they can be kind of snarky in there, be prepared if you ask questions on things you should never do according to the guides XD
i mean guides are written after research from people who know how to play their classes well and the guides ar elooked over by other people who know how to play the class well
so
i kinda get the snark
idk about other channels but the healer questions channels normally arent bad
so...
because shb relic has 4 substats... that’s 280 x 4 = 1120 stats total
normal weapons have 280 x 2 = 560 stats
isn’t the relic
bis for all content
nope
under i515?
Techincally
This is only for level 70 and below
but for 80 stuff
wat the heck is a weapon damage
...
its a stat on all weapons
The big number above the substats
^
Physical/magic damage
the ilvl ?
Thats weapon damage
oh
no
saying i had spell speed on summoner got me a lot of dirty looks and questions XD
5 wep dmg is equivalent to what amount of stats?
i mean, i kinda get that cause smns HATE spell speed due to double weaving, not the dity looks, but the questions
ALOT
like thousands ?
Yes
wow
Weapon damage far out weighs anything
so until the last step of relic, savage weapon will beat it
thats how it always goes
relic isnt BIS for current content till the end
is it possible to link own housing with fc? for access from the fc door is what I mean
i think MCH is the only class who's 520 weapon is beat by the relic
no
the one case reading spell speed boosts DoTs, summoner gets 2 constant and a 3rd occasional DoT, seemed like the meld after crit XD
And white mages
i mean im not sure about the guide but it probably has your stat priorites and says avoid sps, unless the BIS sets are heavly skewed towards spell speed (like healers this tier) you normally dont wanna pile a shitton of it on
for any caster
besides blm
How come some server arent avaible even tho you have chars on it?
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
How can I tell if its a standard, preffered or new server?
Look at the server status page
It shows what servers are open to character creation
im confused, why do you think whm 520 beats relic tails? @_@
its the same substat as other healer weapons
I was talking about relic beating crypt
How do I have someone get on my two-seater mount?
Party them
And they right click ride pillaton
why is it called pillaton?
pillion is the passenger seat on the back of a saddle
mood
how're dancers doing in the game compared to something like Ninja?
theyre fine
Perfectly fine
Ok so my mother who's a Lvl 80 whm just finished the last healer quest for role questin SHB - She accidentally abandoned it before she could finish getting the tick for it. - Now Giott doesn't show up in the area he's meant to be in now hwat?
!faq meta
why would you compare them to nin?
not because of similiarities but like utility
was debating leveling one up on this alt
@rancid crest giott isnt in kholusia at scree?
Dancer literally gives someone a permanent damage buff
they both have utility
dancer is like 50% utility, most of their damage comes from both
^
NIN is like 25% utility
ninja has trick attack which is every min, 5% damage taken increase to boss
@remote lintel i'll see if she can lok it was the temperance quest
or whatever has it applied
@Cerebus we found it
Depends
Some skills are purely for downtime
Iajutsu changes
To different skills
Iajutsu is Midare/higabana
Iajutsu becomes Higanbana/Tenka/Midare
@remote lintel blah she has to do it over again after that 😦 but at least we found him
how's bard doing this time around?
all classes are fine
its still fine
Its pew pewing
Bard is definitely a job
these question are better asked in the balance
during the cutscene concerning escape from garlean forces in ShB, how do I win the Arch Ultima fight
pay attention to dialogue
Listen to what npcs say
paragon is right, if you're looking for high end feedback about the class, balance is the best place
but even they'll tell you all classes are good and skill level matters more
Hit limit break when it glows
I'm just curious because I haven't seen or been around shadowbringers much to see what they turned into
Ok, yeah, but I see a monster on the ledge, a mage, how do I defeat it
from when I played them
You were told how
you could watch the SHB job action video
LB?
Which skill from the left to right is thatg
I have to do eureka to dye the lvl 70 job gear right
Alrighty
Hey all, brand new player (about 20 minutes in!). Trying to get my appearance the way I like it. I saved the appearance I liked when prompted and accidently clicked random afterwards. How do I reload that saved appearance?
Ahh thank you.
I know FFXIV can be a very loud game when you play it. Does this sound OK? Is something too loud or too quiet?
I'm prepping my audio settings for a BA recording, thats why
is there a way to make youre right mouse button not click on people but still flip the camera
i have a problem of accidentally clicking party members in raids especially 48 mans
How do I tone down all the visual effects so my viewers can actually see the bosses and I can see whats about to happen?
I'm new to all this - but I couldn't hear any game sounds at all with my default usual volume, just your voice
character configuration > character > battle effects, set party and others to limited
that should just show like, aoe heals and aoes put down by other people
Ok, that's good. Any suggestions?:
is only way to level elemnetal bar in eureka is to get the magiates frm quest?
or w.e they are called
The elemental wheel?
@cursive abyss turn off performance
All 5 normal magicite are from the anemos questss
Like this?
only way get magicite is from quest ok
There's two optional magicite much later in other zones but they dont affect too much
Why do you want performance audio to be off?
so people dont play copyrighted music on your stream
Performance is bards music
I hate how it picks up my chair creek but I think I should be good to go for recording BA now?:
Is there any way to move the dialogue box in cutscenes?
click and drag it
If the world I chose was auto-changed because I have to wait for a new character restriction to be lifted, is that mean waiting until people stop playing on it or is it just a login queue (aka wait 5 minutes then try)
@remote lintel Turned down BGM from 25 to 15, how about now?
All of the xp bonus ones for new players say they aren't accepting new characters right now
I think Im good now
Temporary character lock is based on how many people are online
Thank you, Will grab a snack and try again. Any idea if the character creation screen will update live or if I need to back out to the main menu and go back into it? nvm that part. I see the refresh button
Ok, thanks! Wow, idk why FFXIV was so finicky to audio balance
cause its very loud?
Hi, can someone tell me if trading gift codes is against the rules
I was gifted a mount I ready own
not against tos if its a gift
Okiesz no I don't want gil, just a different mount or costume in exchange
not actually sure about that tbh
Are expansions in this game complete gear resets like in WoW?
Hrmm, well don't wanna do anything stupid lol they won't refund it, so what are people supposed to do in situations like this
they let you exchange game codes so i dont see why not
@frosty crater expansions add 130 ilvls
Well we get to level up and level cap gear gets replaced around the mid way level point
Couple of questions: 1) How important is the new player xp bonus - Should I give up on refreshing if I haven't gotten into that world in a while?
2) Is Midgardsormr just one of those that will always be overcrowded? I assume some servers gain that reputation over time
!faq anemosmap
huh?
On the map
Ah, so basically when a new exp launches you can't do old group content anymore either? Theres a challenge mode where you run old trials and raids etc. right
i dont see a blue 5
@frosty crater yes you can
Above where it says Numbers lv6
the content doesnt get deleted
if i have gear and i like how it looks should i just throw it in my glamour dresser
Sure
But if there is new ilvl then you'll be too weak right
no you would be....stronger
@faint flare is it by a shard???
I mean the game mode where you run old group content but it's difficult so scaled
Just more ilvl added
o i see
Hm okay
How is the wedding ring teleportation cooldown
@dark copper its 30 min
is it the same for all wedding plans?
Yes
I wonder what they will do after a few more expansions when doing the MSQ takes 1000 hours
No you’re right the MSQ is the game
what is command for eureka quest shts
It’S the RPG part of MMORPG
The MMO can and is always played on the side until endgame when it becomes MMO I guess lmao
its weird i got to the quest location and see nothing there
Remember to talk to krile and whoever has yellow exclamation marks first
So they can send you out
i did
they were like
"talk to players to find where go"
i dont think i did the level 5 one yet only the level 3

how much gil do you get from doing all dailies?
Its under the main scenario tracker top lefg
is it worth it to hold on to a bunch of lower level crap for when i go to level otehr jobs
i like just started this game are there like clans or guilds with in the game?
Yes, they're called Free Companies
IIRC you have to level up a bit before you can join one
You can join one at any level
ok would i be able to get some help? my cahracter dident turn out the way i wanted it and idk what server to even play on if i want to join a good helpful guild
You just need to be like level 30 to make one
all worlds are fine
if you just started then delete your character and make it again
so like the data center dont matter?
Nope
Well just make sure it’s in your region
so my understanding of relic weapons is purely for glamour right?
k cool. might work towards one eventually lol
And PS4/PS5. They use the same servers
damn... i wanted to asked for help how to adjust casting bar on pc i googled it but nothing came up
you mean moveit?
yah!
Press ESC to go into the game menu and press HUD Layout
It’s the progress bar UI element
so i know a lot of the timed nodes aren't collectables anymore but are they still good for exp anyway?
for gatherers
could someone tell me all the steps to unlock emerald weapon trial
there's a series of quests you unlock after finishing the quest "Shadowbringers"
if i remember correctly they're in one of the stormblood area
How important is it to get onto one of the new player recommended EXP boost servers? It's been about 45 minutes and Midgardsormr is still locked to new characters
just follow that and you'll get the quest, and then if you want you can get an EX trial
you remember what area?
Not that vital
It really just saves you from having to do side grinding for if you fall short for a level requirement or two for the story
Which is easily solved by doing daily roulettes
Most people out level the story anyway which all the content is locked behind anyway so leveling faster isnt really needed
Hello, returning player here. I'm about to cap on revelation tomes, but I don't know in which order I should buy my gear (I already know which pieces I should get, but I don't know which ones have higher priority over the others)
It's for the cryptlurker gear
if everything is equal ilvl, then weapon (obv not going to be able to get this right off the bat if you don't have the blades already) > chest/pants > gloves/helm/boots > belt > accesories
if everything is not equal ilvl, proritize low ilvl
is tanking popular?
Well you still get insta queues for tanking
Yes, all my gear has the same ilvl, I wanted to get the weapon first, but I don't have the blades, where can I get those?
last floor of eden
Eden 12
Are fellowships like guilds ?
Ooh, so it doesn't matter if it's tomestone gear, I still need the material drop from the raid
But it takes 7 weeks to get the iteams
hmm, so I have to run eden normal, get the mats, and craft the weapon?
Ooooo how do I join a guild then ?
Cryptlurker weapon
For the weapon, you still need the blades that drop from eden normal to exchange for the tomestone to exchange for the weapon (in addition to tokens bought with revelation tomestones)
I'm level 26 and new to the game
you get 1k revelation, trade those revelation for the envelopes, get 7 blades, trade those blades for the token, trade the token and the envelops for the crytplurker weapon
you need 7 Blade of Lost Antiquity to exchange for Defragmented Tomestone
what is level cap
80
80
@leaden ginkgo get invited to one
First time you clear E12 for the week you get a trophy. You need 7 of those to get the weapon
you need the defragmented tomestone + 10 Mowen's Token (Revelation) (7 if pld) to exchange for the cryptlurker weapon
Oooo I can't just search for a guild in game and apply?
Oooo thanks!!
Yeah sorry, I got used to the term "crafted" from pso2, usually traded to NPC, but I forgot we have actual crafters in FF
hrm, I have one buddy with an old acount on Sargatanas. Is there a disadvantage to joining a server marked (Legacy)?
no, was only relevant at launch(in 2.0 that is, so like 8years ago)
Thanks. Guess I'll create there instead of a crowded one like Midgard
legacy means nothing other than its a server from 1.0
Are dialogues meant to be voiced? I'm in the wagon at the beginning, my characters lips move like he's talking but no sound
Is there a way to share a quest with party members?
Some are, most aren't
For cutscenes in the base game, they are pretty sparse on voice acting
with the expansions, there are a lot more voiced cutscenes
thanks. The lips moving threw me off 🙂 I couldn't hear voiced dialogue in FF13 either because of it being on a different audio channel
Gotcha, I hear the narrator so everything seems in order

Anyone?!
for ninja 80, is there a reason why u go auto 1 + kassatsu > auto 2 + mug + bunshin > auto 3 + nothing instead of auto 1 + mug > auto 2 + bunshin > auto 3 + kassatsu
Wym?
yeah
"share a quest" like....link it in chat?
or you mean doing it together or what
@nimble zodiac to set up for your burst window
you want kassatsu on cd earlier for alignment probably
although opener you use it before the pull iirc?
what should I spend my company seals on im maxed out
no you dont use kassatsu prepull
yeah the huton suiton thing is a given
but double weaving after 80 levels of single weave is a bit pff
i guess im not used to it
the balance opener has it prepull, or well slightly prepull, before the first GCD(but after suiton which you do while running in)
If a friend already has played to Level 60 on his free trial, can I invite him in the RAF program to get rewards?
yeah that's before the first GCD
they need ot buy the game and be in the 30 free days to be recruited
when you do suiton the boss has already been pulled
That means if they have not bought it yet they can still be added to my recruit program?
I guess it's just been pulled yeah but you haven't hit it yet
you hit it with suiton?
bc like theres nothing after aeolian so I thought why not put kassatsu there instead of double weaving after the 2nd hit
@clever bough no they need to buy the game
@nimble zodiac because of buff alignments
you want to align your TA with other rotations
TA is still after the fourth gcd
Kassatsu is early to put it on cooldown faster
it's a valid question
Potentially getting another use kill time depending
i see
popping kassatsu that early still neatly places it in trick, and depending on fight timing, you can possibly gain an additional use
you could move mug or bunshin by one GCD, but you might lose a use at the end if you do
as well as not having to cram things into your trick prep
I guess I underestimated 3 second delays pff
actually not bunshin
yeah no can't move them
cause you need mug to bunshin
and you need to bunshin early so you don't waste it
yes
since after that you just spend a bunch of time chaining ninjutsus and TCJ
in lore prob blue mage
wouldn't summoner be stronger?
Thats what I meant: As long as they have not yet bought the game, they can put me as their recruiter in when they buy it
i always thought it was blm
usually I true north after sui
neither of those are op in lore
blue mage literally uses primal spells
canonically
BLM kicked a comet out of orbit but that wasnt us
is blue mage cannon?
yes blue mage is canon
where can i get some help with extreme ramuh?
OK different problem: If they buy ShB now they get SB and ShB bundled, but Endwalker will release "soon" and thus they will need to put in another 35€ quite soon after, yet we all know that as soon as Endwalker releases we get SB,ShB and Endwalker bundled ... how can I overcome this predicament?
did do that but nobody joined and just went back to duty finder
how long does it take for elemental conflicts to respawn in hydatos?
@clever bough do they want to wait 6 months or not
at least 6 months, possibly longer
FT until endwalker releases unless they super wanna buy ShB
Well they are Level 60 rn, we are doing the 3.2 questline rn
So next week or so we will run into the subscription wall
Endwalker is like 6+ months away
But doesnt the preorder also come with the expansion bundle?
so it's a matter of figuring out if you want to save 40euros while you play something else inbetween, or spend 40euros to keep playing now
NMs have a respawn timer of either 1 or 2 hours and require their corresponding enemy on the map to be killed a lot to spawn.
As for the bunny fate, it seems to spawn like every 15 minutes or so once everyone in the instance no longer has their bunny buff, either from finding the coffer or letting it expire.
and no preorder doesn't give the expansions
at least it didn't for ShB
they might change it obv
so waiting also means you have to do stormblood and shadowbringers during Endwalker release before you can catch up, which takes a while(they might, but again no guarantee, make Stormblood available for free like they did with HW, but you'd still have ShB to go through)
Thanks
Yeah, just so a member of the party doesn't have to go to the quest giver
you cant
how do I acess in game help? Chat log says I unlocked a help entry for umbral ice and astral fire but I'm not seeing a button for it
system > active help
is ilv500 script gear for crafter/gatherer final one in this expansion?
Thanks!
or do actions and traits > actions > click the job guide at the bottom
Yes
Bummer
can i level an alt class lvl 71 and up in bozja?
Alright NEW QUESTION - Lvl 80 65 year old mother is stuck trying to figure out how to return to the Quest "A GREATER PURPOSE" after leaving the area before gathering access to the aetheryte (which you can't get until afte you finish the quest) - How to Find Tunnel? XD i'm not this far myself so i'm just relaying her questions - (I'm only in the first half of SHB myself.)
(i've tried to look it up but nobody's got it unless it's on youtube and i'm lvie streaming right now on twitch and can't watch youtube)
you can attune to the aetheryte at the ondo cups when you get there
I enjoy crafting in similar games - in FFXIV is that something I need to do as I level up or is it best to just come back after the MSQ and do crafting separately?
otherwise talk to the guy at the docks in kholusia iirc
It's not the ondo cups she's at that point
but she can't get to the other half of it to find the administrative perso
take the elevator
a lot of crafting/gathering content will be gated behind the MSQ during certain points
from where you first went there
especially going from one expansion to the next
Is there a way to move this thing so it doesn't cover quests?
system > hud layout
but TBH i would wait until you complete one expansion at a time
Your suggestion is to complete one expansion, then craft up to it's limits, then move to the next?
yeah you can do that
I'm on trial atm so I think that limits me to Heavensward and earlier
my friend loves fishing in this game, he got his fisher to 50 before getting his main combat class to 50
OR you can complete the entire main scenario at level 80, then level up crafting all at once lol
and then found that all 51-60 fishing content was locked behind needing to get to heavensward
@Cerebus working on finding the elevator now it's near the docks correct ?
why no lfg chat?
im assuming she didnt attune to the macarenses angle so the elevator at the top of the city is how she would get down
I'm trying hard here to ask these qiuestions XD like "is this the city" and i get "I ASSUME SO?!?"
hi, does combat retainer require accessories for ilvl as well?
yes
yup
😫 thanks
@remote lintel Ok she's unable to get to the city in question, it's blcoked her off
Correct, but she's struggling toget to THAT point lol
Shes ays on the map it's blocked to walk over that way
go back to the ondo cups and take the tunnel down
Ok we're wroking on that, she's frustrated at me XD
She keeps telling me she screwed up and can't complete and i'm like "HOLD UP FFXIV peeps are helping us!"
ugh ok she just died somehow lol
Jumped before she healed and then somethiing whacked her XD god this is not going wlel for her
