Change your controls to legacy

In character config

Like the first thing you see when you.open it

[robust crow]

in addition to that

unbind turn camera from A and D

bind strafe from Q and E onto A and D

this frees up Q and E for better keybinds

[lethal mist]

Beautiful, thanks! Will I have to switch this back and forth or will my PS5 settings remain their own and PC it's own?

[strange coral]

They are separate

[lethal mist]

Not sure about how to do those ubinds. It works fine now tho with just changing to legacy.

[robust crow]

it's under "keybinding"

literally like the first option

strafe left/strafe right

turning your camera by right-click-hold is usually a significantly better option for PC players

than to manually turn using A and D

[nova umbra]

oh... there's a time limit

[ruby dagger]

white mage level 52 quest "A journey of purfication" Where is it at?

I looked online and the qest giver for it is not at the location listed

[twilit arch]

where are you in the main scenario quest

[ruby dagger]

uhh

[lethal mist]

What would you bind Q and E to now that they're "free"?

[robust crow]

literally anything else anthrax

they're prime keybind slots

[ruby dagger]

@twilit arch "Casting the castrum

thats the current quest I am on

[nova umbra]

@ruby dagger if you click on the quest and then click the map button, what does it show?

[lethal mist]

Ok cool, I'll starrt by getting used to these controls before I decide then. Thanks!"

[twilit arch]

that would be why you can't pick up the 52 job quest, you need to progress main scenario quest to the heavensward expansion to pick up heavensward job quests

[faint flare]

You're not dar enough into the story

[robust crow]

you can put part of your rotation onto q and e

example: i like to put my DoT spell on healers on E

[nova umbra]

everyone has their own system. I personally like ranged abilities (shield toss, spear throws, etc) on Q for melee, self heals on E (clemency, second wind, etc.)

keeping it consistent helps

[lethal mist]

Oh, Triple Triad Decks are platform specific? :p

[proven magnet]

omg what happened to my

did i evolve

[modest igloo]

its still there

[faint flare]

Its hidden by the que icon

[proven magnet]

oh

wait people can see if ur qued for a dungeon in this game?

[modest igloo]

yep

[faint flare]

Yes

[proven magnet]

what lol wow

[faint flare]

Well qued in gneral

[strange coral]

A lot of status icons will override the sprout icon

[faint flare]

Not for what however

[proven magnet]

im close to becoming a warrior it seems

[ruby dagger]

@nova umbra it says level 44 casting the castrum

@twilit arch ah so thats why

[pulsar escarp]

lol

what quest do I do to unlock potd again

[faint flare]

House that death built

In gridina

[pulsar escarp]

thanks

[proven magnet]

are these elites?

[modest igloo]

nope means they aggro on sight

[faint flare]

Red is hostile, blue is passive

[lethal mist]

Can I increase the inventory window size? I am in the HUD menu but only find "inventory grid" which is that smaller thing on the right. I mean when I open the inventory.

[proven magnet]

THIS GUY LOOKS LIKe the 4th icon

[open coral]

It's the 5th

That's a dungeon enemy.

[strange coral]

Right click the inventory window on not an item, and there are options to change the window size

[open coral]

The 5th and 6th icons in the aggressive list are for dungeon enemies and dungeon bosses respectively.

[proven magnet]

omg

im such a good tank

[modest igloo]

congrats, by taking the time to learn and understand what tanks do and function you are now better than 40% of the playerbase

[violet widget]

hi friends, im sorry for the super basic question but is there any good place to find a free company in the game or on reddit/discord?

[proven magnet]

congrats, by taking the time to learn and understand what tanks do and function you are now better than 40% of the playerbase lol

[lethal mist]

Ehm, how do I enter the Triple Triad (or Gold Saucer) menu?

[proven magnet]

big if true lol

[open coral]

You can try the #recruitment-chaos channel in this discord @violet widget or the community finder in-game.

[pulsar escarp]

yeah no you're right by actually trying you're already doing great

[violet widget]

aight ill try my luck there tyvm aura

[open coral]

yw'

[proven magnet]

lol

i legit almot died lol

[little swift]

hey

make sure you're not showing names if it can show other players in a negative light

[modest igloo]

yeah showing names is a big no-no

[little swift]

also this channel isn't a reaction channel

[elder sinew]

How do you apply to join an FC?

[leaden ginkgo]

any way to check which servers have castrum up?

[tender ice]

I got this from the Copied Fac, is it the 2b outfit?

[heavy wadi]

no you just gotta go into instances and look

[faint flare]

Yes it is

[tender ice]

yay

[pulsar escarp]

congrats

[tender ice]

now I have the 2B booty

[little swift]

if FCs are open to recruiting if you view their company profile you cna submit an application. othrewise FC leaders usually have some sort of listed method for how they want you to contact them

[elder sinew]

Ah thanks

[pulsar escarp]

show us photo in screenshots or glamour lol congratulation

[tender ice]

:p

[little swift]

not in this channel

[tender ice]

Oh I should probably already know this but when I need on something, and it shows a number is that the change I have of getting it?

[little swift]

thats the number you rolled

[faint flare]

Thats what you rolled

[little swift]

from 1-99

need 99-1 > greed 99-1

[pulsar escarp]

it's rng lol

[little swift]

is the priority

highest number wins

[pulsar escarp]

ye

[tender ice]

Gotcha

[gritty oracle]

Does the phoenix HoT scale off int?

[elder sinew]

Ah so how many people do you need to keep a FC house? do they need to be active/subscribed?

[faint flare]

Believe so

[leaden ginkgo]

the previous Castrum ended at 21:50 my time

when's it up again

or rather

when should I be there again?

[gritty oracle]

Also, is Assize meant to be a pure dps skill? We're progging E11S, which is incredibly healing intensive, and I (sch) find myself casting succor all the time. Would it be unfair to ask the whm to hold assize for healing?

[faint flare]

1 hour cooldown

[faint flare]

Its mainly used on cooldown, only held very briefly if there's damage within like 3seconds

[gritty oracle]

ah

[covert berry]

hi, im currently gaining 53% exp bonus, is there a way to max this? not sure if its low or high, im at lvl49

[leaden ginkgo]

so do I need to be right back at 22:50

or how much time do I have

from then

[faint flare]

Come back slightly sooner to que for it

Assuming you get back into that instance

[pseudo quartz]

That would be probably the 50% rested exp + 3% food? Thats pretty standard. There are some extra things you can add for mob exp, like the squadron battle manuals for your Grand Company (GC) , and benefits from your Free Company (FC) buffs, if you have one.

[covert berry]

yes

how much would it increase?

not sure the max i could get

[faint flare]

Fc/squadron manuals are 10-15% depending what level buff they're running

[open coral]

The max possible, with all possible buffs is something like 327%

We did the math awhile back.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to lv up from 70 to 80 DOH within 100 levequests? I feel like it should be. Right? 1 lv every 10 quests?

Do I unlock BLU spells by chance or am I doing something wrong? Cause I defeated the Tara-Tara boss for mind blast but ended up getting nothing.

[faint flare]

Spells are mostly rng unsync. Mind blast is guaranteed however

But you need to see it casted

[open coral]

Easily obtainable buffs, however, would be:

Armory (have at least 1 job at a higher level than your current job): +100% until 71, +50% from 71-80
Rested: +50%
Food: +3%
FC: 10-15%

[faint flare]

And be alive

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, I think I killed it too fast.

Ty

[faint flare]

Then yeah you killed before it casted

Always hold out for the cast

[tiny flame]

How do I fish in diadem? I'm around level 55 and it says my gathering is too low but I've seen guides saying I can fish there as early as level 10

[robust crow]

fish in the right spot

iirc there's a different level range for each spot

[tiny flame]

Oh I see, looking at it now I was in the level 80 area lol

Thanks!

[tidal prairie]

Hey there, I have a little concern about the ceremony of eternal bonding wristletets, it says on the page "You cannot possess more than one promise wristlet at a time. If you wish to purchase a pair of wristlets, you must first buy one and trade it to your partner before purchasing a second for yourself." and I just want to confirm that I can go and buy a package, trade that wristlet to my partner, then buy it again and I'd have the wristlet for myself and we could both engage in the same package as long as I buy the same wristlet for both of us. Is that correct or am I misinterpreting what it's saying? Like I'm pretty sure that's what it's saying, yet I just want to be certain before I commit to anything.

[remote lintel]

which one

[tidal prairie]

Which one what? Which package?

[remote lintel]

yes

the gold/platinum ones can just be gifted

[tidal prairie]

Oooh, right. Derp. Totally forgot about that. That solves the issue. Lol, thank you.

Got so caught up in that text that I totally spaced the gift option.

[ornate geyser]

just did ifrit for the 1st time. is it normal for it to be easy?

[pulsar escarp]

yep

[ornate geyser]

ah was kinda hyped for it since hes such an iconic summon

[pulsar escarp]

expect the same from || garuda but be careful not to fall off in titan|| arr primal boss spoilers, you'll know what I'm talking about when you get there

[pulsar escarp]

I mean things get harder and I'm sure there's other iterations and modes?? I know I was super hyped for bahamut and hades and odin and all that and most lived up to my expectations and more (don't google them lol spoilers)

[faint flare]

Everything from the story is pretty simple

[pulsar escarp]

be on the lookout for some summons, they're not always explicitly named lol

[halcyon kettle]

Hey all. What's there for me to do when I'm done the daily roulettes? I boosted msq and I'm level 56

[faint flare]

Spam highest level dungeon

Except level cap dungeons like 50/60/70

[halcyon kettle]

Why not them?

[faint flare]

They give little to no xp

That the dungeon before them gives more

They're not intended for levelling, just poetics

[halcyon kettle]

Oh really okay so I spam the previous one untill I can unlocked the next one for example spam 49 instead of the 8 available 50s untill I can unlock 51?

[faint flare]

Yes

[torn lichen]

if i buy a sub on my free trial account, will i still be able to play on it after the sub expire? 0: with the same free trial restrictions?

[open coral]

No

Once you buy a sub, you're locked from ever using free trial on that account again.

You also need to purchase at least the Starter Edition of the game in order to buy a sub.

[torn lichen]

ahh i figured, otherwise it would be weird that free trial accs have more freedom than normal players, thanks for answer

[leaden ginkgo]

The stormblood beast tribes give 2 mounts?

The HW beast tribes give 1 mount each right?

[twilit arch]

only the ananta tribe gives 2

everyone else is 1

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

thank god

Hey there, i am a lvl30 conjurer, and i’ve read that you unlock whitemage once you hit this lvl, however E-Sumi-Yan doesnt seem to give any more quests, how do i go about unlocking the class?

[modest igloo]

[agile laurel]

you're likely gated by your MSQ progress. If you have no tracked class quests, carry on with your MSQ and dont worry about it

[modest igloo]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[modest igloo]

there we go

[vivid relic]

Okie dokes, thank you so much!

[faint flare]

Pretty much the answer will always be "do more story"

It locks literally everything

And people tend to overlevel it

[vivid relic]

XD, yeah....

[leaden ginkgo]

i got scammed

it started before 1h

it's still 5min until the 1h since the previous one ended

[faint flare]

Ques start early

[leaden ginkgo]

bruh y'all can't tell me 1h then tell me not 1h

[modest igloo]

we arent in control of them

[faint flare]

I did say come early for que

[dark copper]

did you afk out of queue when it popped?

because the queue popped earlier than expected

[leaden ginkgo]

no i wasn't in a queue, everyone here and in /shout told me 1h so I came 5mins earlier

idk man

[dark copper]

I guess when they tell you 1 hr, you think 30 minutes

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[dark copper]

I mean just be 30 minutes earlier rather than 5 minutes early?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh that's way more than I expected

[tender ice]

Is there a 9S coffer?

[faint flare]

No

[tender ice]

How do you get the other YoRHa cosmetics then?

[faint flare]

Its just the normal gear

[tender ice]

ohh

Wait Duty Finder is world wide or data centre wide?

[modest igloo]

data centre

[strange coral]

datacenter

[tender ice]

So I can literally get paired with anyone from any server, cool

I thought it was literally just server only

[faint flare]

Thats what the flower and world name next to others mean

[modest igloo]

what did you think when you saw server names at the end of the players??

[tender ice]

Idk, I'm dumb

[modest igloo]

understandable

[tender ice]

Not really something I noticed either

I noticed a lot of people had Shiva in their name when I first starting playing

I just thought it was a title or something

Do I unlock more NieR raids via continuing its quest line?

[strange coral]

Yes

There are only 2 right now though. 3rd will come with 5.5

[tender ice]

Do you know how many more?

Ah

Any dungeons for it?

[strange coral]

No

[tender ice]

or Trials

[robust crow]

there are no associated dungeons or trials with alliance raids

[strange coral]

iirc Yoshi-P hinted that there might be something more after the 3rd raid, but we don't know what that is yet.

[robust crow]

nier raids follow the pattern of all the alliance raids before them

if there will be any differences to the formula then we don't know of them for sure

[rough fossil]

I’m new to ocean fishing and collectibles. Should I have Collect on or not?

[tender ice]

gotcha

[strange coral]

Ocean fishing doesn't have collectibles, so it won't matter if it's on

[rough fossil]

Ah ok thanks

[hallow grove]

should i just throw away the yokai medals and moogle tomestones?

[faint flare]

You can't spend the yokai stuff anymore so

[slate arrow]

You can keep the yokai medals as they might rerun it

We don't know until they add the rewards to the FFXIV Online Store

[hallow grove]

okay, i think i might just throw them away and redo them later if they do rerun

the irregular tomestones is for sure trash now right?

[twilit arch]

yeah

[slate arrow]

The old ones yes

There's a new irregular tomestone event coming up in a few days

[cobalt mauve]

If i transfer to a preferred world do I get an EXP boost

[faint flare]

No

[cobalt mauve]

Ok so it doesn't matter

[wintry chasm]

(it'll start in your guild)

[proven magnet]

complete all of your class quests

[tender ice]

The Puppets Bunker is the next NieR raid yes?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[remote lintel]

puppet bunker is the 2nd nier raid

[proven magnet]

@remote lintel >complete all of your class quests is that the green leaf quests

[remote lintel]

no

below your msq bar

[wintry chasm]

class quests are the quests you should have been doing from your class guild

[remote lintel]

if you havent been doing them then youre missing skills

[wintry chasm]

^

and you should pay attention to what the game points you to do

[proven magnet]

yeah i cant find the quest to become a warrior i think i miss something

[faint flare]

You need more story progress

You need to pass slyph management

[proven magnet]

o

ok got it

[modest igloo]

what's the lore reason for why you have to do that quest

[faint flare]

I dont think its any

[modest igloo]

kk

[stiff parcel]

Hello guys, for the next step of the ShB relic weapon, the last step, is it better to DR or Potd?

[faint flare]

Potd if you go 101+

[stiff parcel]

what does that mean?

[obsidian patio]

Using a fixed party to go past floor 100

[faint flare]

The rates are much bettwe past 101

Guaranteed past 150

[stiff parcel]

I don't even have the 50th unlocked I guess

[keen gate]

I am currently in the realm reborn story line my currency quest is ||sylph-managment|| if someone could tell me how far or how not far I am in to the story. Quarter, half. Stuff like that.

[faint flare]

You barely started

[modest igloo]

little more that a quarter of the base game

[stiff parcel]

yup you're at the start

[faint flare]

Thats the quest that gives you job quests

[keen gate]

Great! Thanks!

[tender ice]

Can I restart a solo dungeon/trial/raid after completing it without re-queuing?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[tender ice]

Like just load back to the start

Ah

[obsidian patio]

Actually in that case you can just use Return

Though it has a long cooldown

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I need to get hit by monsters to learn their spells for blue mage?

[terse roost]

No

[faint flare]

No

Just have it cast

[terse roost]

They just have to cast it before dying.

[last brook]

Why do people use LB at that red boss Nero tol Scaeva in the MSQ?
They seemed upset that a ranged class didn't use it on that boss.
Wouldn't it be more realistic to use melee LB on the next battle on the Elevator with Gaius?

[faint flare]

Because it resets

[slate arrow]

Nero resets your LB bar

So you don't get to use LB anyways for either boss if you pull early

[last brook]

Like, right after you use it, your lb goes back to max?

[faint flare]

Pulling bosses tend to reset LBs in 8man

No

[slate arrow]

no, it goes to 0

[faint flare]

Pulling nero empties your LB

[last brook]

OH

[faint flare]

Resetting it

Its free real estate

[slate arrow]

since castrum and praetorium sync to 135 it's a shit ton of free damage

[last brook]

I'll have to pay attention to that next time.

[faint flare]

Pulling bosses in 8/24mans tend to reset your LB gauge

[open coral]

Generally tanks will just pull without waiting for an LB on Nero though.

[slate arrow]

it's not required in the slightest

Since again your item level is so high in comparison to the mobs (roughly item level 45) you can just faceroll it all anyways

[faint flare]

but its free real estate

[open coral]

Yeah. It's just a chunk of damage off the starting line, but not so significant that it's going to make more than a few seconds' worth of difference in the fight.

[simple crest]

is HoH or Dungeon spam better for 60-70 leveling?

[faint flare]

Hoh if your ques are 15mins + for dungeons

[cursive abyss]

Do I need to do Exdeath and Kefka Savage in order to get to Omega Savage or can I just go straight to Omega Savage?

[faint flare]

Just go straight to it

After doing all the normal modes

[simple crest]

ok ty ty

[cursive abyss]

What even do I get for beating Exdeath and Kefka Savage if I do attempt and beat that?

[faint flare]

They unlock Bahamut and Ultima Ultimate

And old outdated gear

And their mounts

[cursive abyss]

Not really worth it

[faint flare]

Exdeath drops the danger noodle, kekfa drops the airplane mount

[cursive abyss]

Huh, wonder why they dont require you to do the whole savage tier in order to get to the end?

[open coral]

When it's current, you have to.

[faint flare]

They used to when it was current

For that tier

[open coral]

When it's old content, you don't.

[faint flare]

To get full loot

[pulsar escarp]

I’ve made a few macros, mostly just /echo for things like Blood Weapon, TBN, Living Shadow w sound effects: but I’ve also got a macro that sends message in party for Living Dead. Should I attach an SE for that or even have a macro for it in the first place or will it annoy people?

[remote lintel]

i have a sound effect on my living dead macro

because people dont read chat

[open coral]

It can be helpful to have a sound effect, yeah.

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah thought so, I put brackets on Living Dead too

Which do you recommend

[open coral]

At the very least it makes the healer look at chat.

[cursive abyss]

You should make a macro for casting both Blood Weapon and Delirium at the same time

[pulsar escarp]

10, 11 and 15 are already in use

Oh good idea

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

No

[faint flare]

Thats terrible

[open coral]

That's a bad idea.

[pulsar escarp]

Or not good idea

Lol

[remote lintel]

thats mine

[open coral]

Don't macro abilities together.

[pulsar escarp]

I’m just pre preparing actually

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah mines ‘Idris Diealos has used (Living Dead)’ so I guess I’ll go se.2 as well

Seeing as I haven’t used se.2 yet

[open coral]

Do we have the example of why you don't macro abilities together on an faq command @faint flare ? I can't remember.

[pulsar escarp]

and I don’t want it mixed up with others

[wintry chasm]

We do but I don't remember the command

[pulsar escarp]

Blood weapon and Living shadow are the main ones, not sure if I actually need one for TBN

seeing as it’s fifteen seconds only

[open coral]

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[pulsar escarp]

And harder to forget about

God I macroed salted earth to <me> today

Best decision of my life

[open coral]

Yeah. I do that with Asylum.

So much easier than playing around with the targeting reticle.

[pulsar escarp]

Ikr

I don’t even know how to exit out of that

I also like my living dead macro it’s neat

Not that I’ll have to use it much but good warning

And I always forget blood weapon so having an SE for it will be neat

no doubt when I get living shadow I’ll forget about it too what with the 120 second cd

[modest igloo]

you really, really wanna use living shadow on cd

[pulsar escarp]

Exactly

[modest igloo]

make that shit big if it helps

[pulsar escarp]

SE.11 and a macro is all ready for it

Se11 stood out the most to me because it’s so deep so I probably won’t be forgetting it

I don’t need one for TBN right? 15 seconds is TINY

though I wouldn’t put it past myself

[cursive abyss]

Is playing Bard like playing a Hunting Horn in Monster Hunter?

[modest igloo]

you really wanna macro as little as possible

[pulsar escarp]

yeah

I don’t want to get mixed up

[modest igloo]

bard is a buff and DoT dps so prabably not

[pulsar escarp]

Blood weapon and Living shadow priority, Living Dead so healers know I’m committed to the Dead

[polar hound]

Oof yeah KnightShade please NEVER again recommend people to macro multiple abilties here

[pulsar escarp]

Lol a sin was committed today

Speaking of which if a tank has Living dead up, healer can just sit back and watch right rather than try and heal

[polar hound]

!faq macrogcd

[pulsar escarp]

Until it turns to walking dead

and boss takes it easy again in which case benediction?

[polar hound]

Well yes but no, dont ever just be sitting/waiting...dps inbetween

You can wait til Walking is almost gone to bene.. you have a lot of time tbh

[pulsar escarp]

Oh yeah I mean true

It’s 10 seconds

Which is pretty massive

[polar hound]

Almost 5 glares

[pulsar escarp]

though maybe don’t push it LMAO

If my healer was so busy glaring they didn’t bene me I’d find it hilarious

[polar hound]

It happens lol ABC=always be casting applies to every job

[pulsar escarp]

Totally understandable, if I die because of it I’ll say it’s fine, ABC, you were doing your job

Ngl though I don’t think I’ll be macroing any healer stuff

[polar hound]

the only thing i could recommend macroing is like...ground placed stuff to a <t>

on healer

Asylum and the such

[pulsar escarp]

Even then t sometimes doesnt work so I’d stick to placing earthly star manually

because it doesn’t work if you put it <me> I guess

[polar hound]

macros hit different so if you only have one /ac line, you have to spam that button..this is fixed generally by having a bunch of /ac

also macro sprint this way, its 100% an upgrade

[pulsar escarp]

I mean t for some bosses without space beneath them

Macro sprint?

[polar hound]

you can put <t> still and target yourself

or <tt> for targets target

[pulsar escarp]

Woah that’s cool

[polar hound]

!faq sprint

[zinc orbit]

Sprint is nice when macro'd

Sprint won't queue like most standard actions. Give this macro a try for slightly better responsiveness:

/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint

[cursive abyss]

I didnt know that Macroing GCDs was bad, was just a suggestion.

[potent shale]

Macros are useless for GCD, but they're useful for OGCD and stuff

[polar hound]

that sprint macro ^^

[pulsar escarp]

But yeah I think I’ll leave earthly star be seeing as I don’t have to double weave it like i do salted earth

[pulsar escarp]

Thanks but... why? Does it not register sometimes ??? Ah

[polar hound]

there's a 1s hidden queue timer for abilities/gcd when you press them

[open ember]

I have sprint registered to my controller

[pulsar escarp]

Ahh

[open ember]

As a macro

[pulsar escarp]

I see

Thanks!

[potent shale]

For example, I'm a AST main so I use a Macro for Play Card to make it easier for me to give my party members the card buff

I don't have to click on their names and play

[forest laurel]

I only use macros on ast for earthly star

that's p much it

[tender ice]

What does this mean?

[pulsar escarp]

So wait what does /Merror off mean

[open ember]

Trade mentor

[potent shale]

Trade Mentor

[polar hound]

turns off the error spam if it's already on CD/cant be used

[pulsar escarp]

Oh is it like the stuff that I sometimes see next to people’s names in parties

[pulsar escarp]

Aha gotcha

[potent shale]

Ye ye

[polar hound]

so the top of your screen isnt spamming "this ability isnt ready yet"

[pulsar escarp]

Oh right LMAO

[potent shale]

It's to make it easier to give buffs

[pulsar escarp]

I should put that down for blood weapon

[pulsar escarp]

I never understood how to put it next to party though

[potent shale]

I'm a clumsy person and I cannot micro manage like most people

So I use these macros to help me

[pulsar escarp]

I see why, to play card you gotta select another person but it means you take focus off the other one just to give a damage buff...

[potent shale]

Pretty useful in Raids

Ye

[polar hound]

there is <mo> for mouseover stuff too

i think its <mo>

[pulsar escarp]

So with macro if you have the card macro next to the names you can just press it while healing or whatever

Wait so how do you make that massive hot bar next to party then

[modest igloo]

the main issue is that you'll lose uptime macroing that stuff, and it can get wonky

[potent shale]

People also have Macros for Shirk and Provoke

[pulsar escarp]

dude I’m level sixty I don’t know SHIT about uptime

[modest igloo]

that being said, if you can clear raids with it, go ahead and do it

[potent shale]

I have Macro for Living Dead because I want to say some edgy line

[polar hound]

I can see a shirk macro but not really a use to macro provoke tbh

[potent shale]

[pulsar escarp]

Is that really necessary??

[polar hound]

I macro my shirk, i wont macro voke tho

[pulsar escarp]

I didn’t know shirk was so commonly used higher up tho

[polar hound]

tank swaps are very very common in savage/ex

[pulsar escarp]

I guess swap?

[potent shale]

I macro my DRK Provoke and Shirk to say some edgy line

[pulsar escarp]

Or is this just

[potent shale]

😤

[pulsar escarp]

Ah yeah

Lol

[potent shale]

My rule for DRK is to make edgy macro lines

[pulsar escarp]

I can’t think of one so I just said Idris Diealos has used Living Dead

I almost wanted to explain to the healer in case

[polar hound]

most people get annoyed by chat/macro spam fyi but im just passin info, idc lol

[pulsar escarp]

I settled to adding (DRK Invuln)

Definitely

My alert macros are in /echo

And it’s not like I’m popping Living dead on CD

[polar hound]

fair though, LD is a horrible invuln and requires way too many resources without a whm

[pulsar escarp]

I mean Astro’s essential dignity can probably do the trick

[modest igloo]

excog is also good

[potent shale]

My Macro for Living Dead; "Your pain is nothing compare to my suffering!" (Using Living Dead) < .7se>

[pulsar escarp]

Wow I feel so boring LMAO

Even my echos are boring

[polar hound]

it's still multiple abilities to heal it back to full instead of just one, causes dps loss on healers if they arent coordinated

[pulsar escarp]

‘Blood Weapon is ready. <se.15>’

[pulsar escarp]

I guess so.. Astro could probably just ED and maybe a benefic but it’s still more than one so I get it

[forest lark]

Gotta love those lb macroers lol, I had one send in part chat walls and walls of text once he cast lb

[pulsar escarp]

Still 10 seconds of invuln with 20 in total is pretty nice

[polar hound]

nah man, we have almost 200k hp at endgame, one essential aint enough lol

[pulsar escarp]

Wait is essential capped?

Fuck

[potent shale]

2

[polar hound]

ye you get 2 eventually

[pulsar escarp]

Oh yeah doesn’t it have two charges

right right right

Healers will probably be a bit high anxiety seeing tank so low anyway

That’s what I banked on before having a macro

[wind needle]

Hey, I have Silver Chocobo Feathers and I can't sell them
What are they for??

[pulsar escarp]

Does LB really need macro? I guess it would be super cool as healer when rezzing the raid

[potent shale]

My Raw Intuition macro: Incoherent Warrior Noises (Using Raw Intuition) <.se7>

[potent shale]

For funzies and lols

[polar hound]

no, please dont macro LB lol

[twilit arch]

no, in fact most skills don't need a macro to announce they are being used

[forest lark]

Lol it was a bard and he had some awful cringey lb macro that was extremely lenghty lmao

[pulsar escarp]

a BARD

[twilit arch]

also this conversation about macros is getting less qnh and more discussiony

[pulsar escarp]

You’re right I’ll stop 👍

[forest lark]

I got so annoyed by that fir sm reason lol

[twilit arch]

@wind needle can exchange them at the calamity salvagers for weapon and chest/pants

[polar hound]

he's literally still asking questions inbetween

[twilit arch]

i'm not specifically saying him

[polar hound]

understood

[potent shale]

I made my LB3 Macro super short

[wind needle]

And where is that 😅

[potent shale]

Only one line

[twilit arch]

but there is extra dialogue that's not actually answering qestion and its just chitchat

[pulsar escarp]

I c i c

[twilit arch]

there's a calamity salvager in the three major cities, limsa and gridana's are near the mail moogle @wind needle

[pulsar escarp]

Dw just one more question, do shirk and provoke in tank swap need to be matched up in sync? Just something I’m curious about

[wind needle]

thx

[sleek roost]

Knock it off please. Killwryn is right (:

[forest lark]

I used to have macro fir rezz as a healer with sounds, and I started getting annoying to myself and since then I dont use any kind of macro, it really gets annoying after some time especially rezzing in raids when u have ti do it a lot and spams message and sound everytime u do fez

[lilac bloom]

How can you tell if you have double exp? My gf logged back in and I can't tell if she has it.

[remote lintel]

if you mean road to 70 its on your buff bar

[little swift]

not in sync, one used after another. provoke from the tank taking over and then shirk from the tank dropping aggro

[lilac bloom]

Yeah the preferred server bonus or w/e

[little swift]

alternatively can turn stance off

[wintry chasm]

orange star buff

If she don't have it then she don't have the buff

[remote lintel]

its at the top of the screen by default iirc

[pulsar escarp]

Ahh so it doesn’t have to be entirely matched up. Stance off isn’t as immediate and it’s less certain who it might go to if tank isn’t second on aggro though right?

Though I guess that would be tank mistake

[polar hound]

yeah, generally you wait to see the other tank use provoke THEN use shirk

provoke animation is pretty obvious to me anyways, turn effects on limited

[pulsar escarp]

I’m guessing this is also higher level stuff and you’ll never need tank swap in MSQ

[polar hound]

correct

[forest lark]

Tabk swapping is only ex anf savage

[open ember]

tank swap is mostly used in savage

and ex

[forest lark]

So you wont need it for now if ur casual

[little swift]

there's a swap in alexander normal

[open ember]

very very rarely is it ever used in leveling content or lower level stuff

[forest laurel]

there's some things that are intended to be tankswaps in normal but most of the time you can just keep going

[little swift]

but its by and large optional depending on what you roll

[remote lintel]

i remember the MT pulling a surprise tank swap on me in e10n

because of the vuln

[little swift]

10n doesn't do enough you can ignore it

[pulsar escarp]

Oh so as long as it doesn’t give vuln stacks you can mitigate intended tank swaps and keep going

[polar hound]

yep

[polar hound]

generally a swap is required because a mechanic, usually a buster, leaves a vulnerability on them that will make the next auto a 1shot

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah yikes

Also if you die as tank, you’re just off tank now right? You shouldn’t try and yoink boss back from the previous off tank

[remote lintel]

no

unless your team discussed it beforehand

[potent shale]

@pulsar escarp I used ping noises for my macro because I'm half-deaf, certain noises can vibrate near my hearing skull so it's pretty useful for me

[pulsar escarp]

I guess so

[open ember]

if you died and have weakness, the other tank should take over

[polar hound]

depends. MT/OT shouldnt be considered real things tbh especially in endgame.. both tanks will be the mt and ot at intervals

[pulsar escarp]

Yeah that’s helpful

Thanks

[potent shale]

Depends on situation

Unless you're BLU

[pulsar escarp]

So it’s one of those circumstantial stuff

[tender ice]

What would you guys say is the best way to get these items on the left? For my Anima

[polar hound]

Yeah. If I die I wont voke back unless I know there's a buster or something coming that the other tank doesnt have their invuln for

[tender ice]

Alexander seems very time consuming

[remote lintel]

if you have the beast tribes then get them from the beast tribes

[potent shale]

If you have done your Beast Tribes, then Beast Tribe. If not, Poetics

[tender ice]

Don't I need to have a DoH at 60 for Beast Tribes?

[open ember]

only for moogles

[tender ice]

I tried to do the Moogle one

Ah

Gotcha

[open ember]

other ones can be done as dow

[potent shale]

Moogles is DoH

[tender ice]

Would you say its worth unlocking Beast Tribes and doing it then?

[potent shale]

Ye

[remote lintel]

i mean

[potent shale]

If you want some cool emotes and mounts

[open ember]

if you want to. i just did poetics

[remote lintel]

it wont do you any good right NOW

[potent shale]

[remote lintel]

since they take time to do

like, days

[glossy flare]

Alexander is not that time consuming though, even Savage can be done relatively quickly with just a few people. In fact people are running it for various reasons so finding people shouldn't be that hard

[tender ice]

Well its gonna take days via poetics too right? I can only get chunks of them them from daily roulette?

[lilac bloom]

Do servers still matter? I want my gf to pick preferred server on same data center. Can she still interact with my plot and whatnot?

[little swift]

takes like 2 weeks to get a beast tribe to its highest rank

[polar hound]

poetics are gonna be your fastest route to get those unidenfited items tbh

[remote lintel]

theres more ways to farm poetics than roulettes

[polar hound]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[tender ice]

I mean I have been soloing Alexander

It takes about 5 minutes, but I have to do it like 30 times

[potent shale]

Depends what you're after

[remote lintel]

@lilac bloom she can visit your house, but cant be a tenant

[polar hound]

nah man poetics are very very farmable

[tender ice]

Gotcha, ill look at this guide

[remote lintel]

if youre 80 then hunt trains give a lot

[tender ice]

Poetics is the fastest route then?

[polar hound]

check party finder for groups stating "first time bonus" also, help them out get extra poetics

[tender ice]

I'm 80

[glossy flare]

Yeah poetics is by far the fastest route, unless you want something else from any of the other ways

[lilac bloom]

Hm I guess we'll have to wait till Ultros goes pref. I can't imagine catching up in this game w/o road to 70 buff.

[tender ice]

Alright thanks everyone

[potent shale]

If you and your GF live in different server, she can still visit you but you can't do certain stuff like getting married ingame or making her a tenant in your house @lilac bloom

[remote lintel]

i mean its not that bad without road to 70

[faint flare]

You dont need road

[polar hound]

there are so many exp buffs, the road to 70 actually hurts some people. i would reconsider tbh, it's a nice bonus but totally not needed.

[open ember]

road to 70 is just nice to have but not required

[potent shale]

You need to be in the same server to do that, but other than that you're fine

[open ember]

ultros hasnt been preferred in a long time

so i wouldnt rely on it being preferred in the next patch

preferred status is random and different all the time

[polar hound]

based on populations at the time i believe, but they don't exactly show us those numbers either

[glossy flare]

Catching up in terms of level doesn't mean anything without the story progress to go with it anyway. And just doing the story quests will level you up, road buff or no

[lilac bloom]

Yeah I know. I just remember catching up years ago and never having to worry about not being high enough lvl for msq.

[remote lintel]

you rarely have to without the buff

[glossy flare]

You don't have to worry about that

[lilac bloom]

Well her like 3rd quest she was 2 lvls down lol

[open ember]

if you REALLY want the buff you could go to famfrit then transfer to ultros later

[glossy flare]

Yeah you may have to do a few side quests at the very beginning

[open ember]

but that requires $$$

[glossy flare]

But after that you are fine, maybe the occasional daily roulette

[lilac bloom]

But if Ultros won't switch I guess we'll just have to send it.

[polar hound]

those levels come quick as heck too

[potent shale]

Normally when you level up, doing your MSQ with your main job can get you easily to 80

[glossy flare]

I mean your gf has to do the story quests anyway, which again will usually cover the leveling progress. In fact you usually hit 80 way before you are done with the story

[potent shale]

But for alt jobs is PoTD, HoH, Dailies, Frontlines and Beast Tribe

[glossy flare]

Dungeons work pretty well for tanks/healers

short queue times and all

[potent shale]

Ye

I usually go in Frontlines as DPS

The rare case I go in as DPS at level 80 Roulette, Mentor or Expert

Oh the queue time

[tender ice]

Do I unlocked Wondrous Tails for the poetics, do I have to do all of these for the reward?

[polar hound]

only 9

[remote lintel]

you have a max of 9 stickers

[glossy flare]

Any 9 will do, doesn't matter which

[polar hound]

you can unsync them too

[potent shale]

Ye ye

[glossy flare]

The stickers you get do not correspond with the the position of the duty on the grid, it's pure rng

so just do whatever is fast/fun for you

[tender ice]

So 9 of them unsynced, and I can get the 500 poetics?

[glossy flare]

Yea, the 500 poetics are guaranteed

[tender ice]

sweet, thanks

[glossy flare]

and the other lines are a bonus you might get

[polar hound]

yep, its guaranteed if you do 9 of them. if you want the extra rewards you gotta line your stickers up as you complete them

well..you cant really line them up outside of RNG but you can re-roll them as long as you dont have over 7 stickers

[glossy flare]

And have rerolls to spare

Though to be fair, they are very easy to come by so you rarely run out

[tender ice]

So with this I can literally do any dungeon around those levels?

[glossy flare]

yup

[tender ice]

Just making sure, thanks

[winged fossil]

Should all the trials on the stickers be available to me by my point in the game? For example, there are stickers for containment bay S17, thornmarch to name two and I don't have them in my duty finder?

[faint flare]

Yes

[glossy flare]

it's based on your level

But not on your story progress

[faint flare]

If you have wondrous tales you can go unlock them

[winged fossil]

Ok so must be some blues i haven't unlocked or MSQ not progressed.

[faint flare]

They're blues

[glossy flare]

Most likely, yea

[faint flare]

Containment bay is thr Warring traid

[ebon canyon]

Hello guys! Sorry to ask such a noob question, but I'd like to try and join the FFXIV experience.
It seems you need to subscribe/buy it from steam store, which I don't mind, but is the subscription starting as soon as I buy it from steam or once I start playing?
Issue is my internet connection is very very bad and it would take me days to download.

[cloud palm]

So whats the difference between Eos and Selene?

[winged fossil]

yeah have not heard of that. i just woke up from a nap so head foggy

[faint flare]

Looks

[remote lintel]

you get 30 free days from buying the base game

then you need to sub

[glossy flare]

You can play without a subscription up to lvl 60

[winged fossil]

No difference functionally, but Selene is better because she sounds like Celine

[faint flare]

BUt buying and registering the game means you have to pay thr sub after 30days

[glossy flare]

Yeah, that ^

[faint flare]

It starts the moment you put the code given into Mogstation

[ebon canyon]

I seeeee, thank you! Are you guys playing from steam or there's a client somewhere else?

[remote lintel]

theres steam and windows

[faint flare]

Normal SE and Ps4

[remote lintel]

if you buy it on steam youre locked to steam

[faint flare]

Steam is just a option

[silver lintel]

how do the diadem unspoiled nodes work?

[ebon canyon]

Is there a better option or just doesn't matter?

[glossy flare]

Personally I am not using steam but there really is no actual difference between the clients. Use whatever you prefer

[remote lintel]

steam has less frequent sales on the game but lets you use steam wallet

[faint flare]

They spawn when the weather changes to one of the Umbral weathers

[glossy flare]

steam allows you to pay your sub with your steam wallet if you like that

[polar hound]

steam client is locked to steam sales which happen infrequently.

[glossy flare]

other than that no

oh yeah you are locked to whichever platform you chose

gotta stay there forever

[ebon canyon]

Sales as in, in game cash-shop sales?

[remote lintel]

no

[glossy flare]

on expansions

[polar hound]

Game/expansion

[remote lintel]

sales on the game/expansions

[ebon canyon]

Oooh, aight!

[remote lintel]

all platforms use the cash shop the same way

[polar hound]

SHB / complete go half off a few times a year

[ebon canyon]

Thanks again and hopefully see you in game then!

[cloud palm]

So what's my go too heal with SCH?

[remote lintel]

ogcds

[open coral]

At what level?

[cloud palm]

53

[open coral]

Indom?

[faint flare]

Lustrate

Whispering dawn

Indom

The aetherflow and fairy heals

[remote lintel]

aka ogcds

you should always be prioritizing them

[faint flare]

Adlo/physick are super last resort

Especially physick

[open coral]

Physick is basically useless from level 1

[faint flare]

Adlo prepulls are fine

[open coral]

It's worse than C1

[cloud palm]

So avoid Physick. That's good to know.

[last brook]

Is there a version of these gloves that glows?

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No

[cloud palm]

I mean hoenstly this is all a ruse to secretly level my SMN

[glossy flare]

Which is pretty much true for all healers. ogcd>gcd

[cloud palm]

So many people are gonna die.

[glossy flare]

Healing is not that hard tbh but dont tell anyone

[cloud palm]

Well as WHM its easy cause just throw on a regen and spam cure 2

[open coral]

SCH can be a challenge.

WHM and AST are way easier, imo

Better tools along the way. SCH has a window of like 20 levels where they're basically useless.

[tender ice]

Quick one, the stickers are called seals yeah?

[honest orchid]

I'm around the same level and I feel like I'm not getting aether flow usage. You only get three shots while you're waiting for the cooldown

[glossy flare]

True, SCH is the clever one I guess but if you just want to level your SMN I assume you are healing dungeons

[tender ice]

in the wondrous tails

[glossy flare]

Which are fine

[glossy flare]

Yea

[honest orchid]

It just seems like it's tough to manage high damage/burst

[tender ice]

cheers

[faint flare]

Thats the whole point of Aetherflow, you need to manage it and spend its syacks properly

Low-level scholar kinda sucks cause you're lacking the GOOOOD shit

[open coral]

^

[faint flare]

Stuff gets so much better with Excog

[remote lintel]

at 80 its really not much more difficult than the other healers

[open coral]

From around level 40 SCH feels really awful to play because you only have one fairly weak heal to dump your aetherflow into.

[faint flare]

45

You meqn

Aetherflow is 45

[open coral]

Yeah

And then it doesn't get better until you get Indom at 52

[faint flare]

Not overhealing is kinda important for Scholar, so you're not wasting the potential of your stacks

Which leads you to burn more

[honest orchid]

That makes sense, tbh it felt pretty bad in the 35-47 dungeons but has been fun in the 50 dungeons

[open coral]

Honestly though, Emergency Tactics at 58 is where I feel like SCH really starts to hit its stride.

[honest orchid]

Probably because of the better gear on tanks too lol

[faint flare]

They actually get a useful gcd heal

[open coral]

Yep

[faint flare]

Curious to see what they'll do with scholar

[open coral]

Didn't they say it's basically staying the same?

Only AST is getting a major rework (again)

[faint flare]

Well with new skills and trimming and all

Just general skill shifting and changes

[tender ice]

Can I solo a level 70 Dungeon as a DRK?

[faint flare]

Low level stuff sure

[steel wedge]

I can’t remember... is it possible to take out the matera out of its slots before you upgrade it?

[surreal folio]

hello, i need help please

[faint flare]

Yes

[steel wedge]

/trade in

[faint flare]

Right click > retrieve

[steel wedge]

Ah! Thanks that be helpful for when I get my law rod

[little swift]

thats the point of this channel yes. but not telling us your problem won't give us a way to help

[surreal folio]

ok dont worry ^^

[winged cobalt]

[steel wedge]

Question 🙋‍♂️ is a seaside story quest actually a quest with a story? Or is it just your super simple tagged ok typical “OMG hero of light! The Queen is back and she is PISSED 😤”

[winged cobalt]

@faint flare don't you bap me

[faint flare]

[surreal folio]

my friend gift me the game [ starter edition ] i dont play it, i think i played 2 days & i stoped, i dont know if i had to buy the game or buy the sub ( i dont know where & how ) thank you guys

[wintry chasm]

one of these?

[steel wedge]

Ah so basically just talk to npc and unlock... ya

[faint flare]

Starter edition is the base game. If you used the code then your free 30days is already running

[obsidian patio]

It’s just a super quick quest for getting DR savage

[steel wedge]

Unlocks DR savage

[obsidian patio]

No real story in it

[surreal folio]

@faint flare my 30 days end it's been 2 months

what should i do ?

[steel wedge]

Ok cool so I won’t bust my ass for it then

[obsidian patio]

Go to the mogstation and set up a subscription

[faint flare]

Well if you want to use that account you'll need a sub

[obsidian patio]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[surreal folio]

@faint flare how cost the sub, and for advice please, i dont know how to play the game what do you advice me to do ( free access what i mean if you understand what i mean & how )

[faint flare]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[obsidian patio]

Since you registered the base game you no longer have access to the free trial

[surreal folio]

yeah that's the problem :/

what should i do !

[steel wedge]

You can play free all the way though the first expansion

[faint flare]

You would need a new account

For the free trial

[surreal folio]

i dont understand realy ^^

[faint flare]

As in, whole brand new account

[surreal folio]

from steam i can't play the free access ?

[naive kraken]

once you pay anything for FF14, you have to start paying a monthly subscription on that account

[faint flare]

No because you have registered the game

You're not eligible for the trial on that account

Thus you need a fully brand new one

[surreal folio]

ok i understand, i have to download an other extension to play free access on it

[faint flare]

And make a new account

From scratch

[naive kraken]

new email and everything

[surreal folio]

ok guys i understand now

thank you so much i appreciate that

an other question in the same thing x)

the oposite know

if i play free access & and sub ?

possible to ?

[faint flare]

No

[surreal folio]

ahh

i see

[faint flare]

A sub means you're paying for the game

[naive kraken]

once you pay for any part of the game, you have to start paying the monthly subscription

[surreal folio]

yeah true

[faint flare]

Thus not on the free trial

[wintry chasm]

a billion years

[surreal folio]

ok clear idea in my mind know

[naive kraken]

i did a good chunk of ShB non-blue marker side quests in a couple days

[wintry chasm]

Like

At least it takes 2/3 months because of the SB sidequest ||Doman Reconstruction||

Oh

[naive kraken]

i think eulmore and lakeland are the only areas I have left after 2 days of doing those between roulettes/pvp queues

[wintry chasm]

uhh

[naive kraken]

blue ones can take more

[wintry chasm]

just over a month?

Because of the beast tribe dailies?

[naive kraken]

yeah

[wintry chasm]

In terms of hours put in I have no idea

[naive kraken]

or unlocking regular trials/raids and then extreme trials/savage raids

[remote lintel]

i did all sidequests up to like lvl 40 while i was doing msq and then quit because there were so many

each character is separate

you can have all jobs on 1 character

[surreal folio]

yeaah that what i whant to know

[remote lintel]

if you make a new character you have to do everything all over again

[surreal folio]

can you explain please ( all jobs in one character ) ?

[remote lintel]

exactly what it sounds like

[faint flare]

You can swap jobs

Freely

[surreal folio]

ahhhh

[faint flare]

Once you've unlocked them

[surreal folio]

like fish man or hunter etc

[rough fossil]

Is there a way to see where someone’s house is if they don’t have estate teleportation enabled?

[remote lintel]

yes

[little swift]

here's an example of playing everything

[remote lintel]

and all combat classes

[polar hound]

One character is all you need. The story does not differ at all if you make different ones.

[remote lintel]

@rough fossil not really

besides asking them

[naive kraken]

or combing through every location manually

[remote lintel]

or if you know the ward theyre in you can see their name

[rough fossil]

Ah okay I just wanted to congratulate someone I saw got a house but nbd

[sinful coral]

Any idea of any websites for looking at pictures of the models of ffxiv bosses?

[surreal folio]

can someone explain i see many characters in the same account !

[remote lintel]

no

its 1 character

[little swift]

thats 1 character

[remote lintel]

with many jobs

[surreal folio]

how !

[little swift]

it just plays all the various classes

[remote lintel]

you just switch

[little swift]

you can switch whenever

[surreal folio]

is that possible in the game !

[little swift]

outside of combat

[remote lintel]

for example

you are a paladin with a sword and shield

then you equip an axe

now youre a warrior

then you equip daggers

[surreal folio]

ahhhhhhhhhhh

[remote lintel]

now youre a ninja

[surreal folio]

i understand

the weapon = change your character

[remote lintel]

yes

[surreal folio]

i like that

[remote lintel]

but people switch with gear sets so they automatically equip gear with it

otherwise they would be naked

[surreal folio]

with keybinds i think

[remote lintel]

you can put your gear sets on your hotbars

and just click it to switch

[surreal folio]

^^ i see

i have maaany questions sorry xD

[remote lintel]

thats what the channel is for

[surreal folio]

i never played in the game x)

question : what is the best dps in that meta, ( & what is you favorite character in the meta near of dps ) thank's ^^

[remote lintel]

all classes are good

the best dps is the one you can play the best

[surreal folio]

all characters are good ?

[remote lintel]

yes

player skill matters more

[surreal folio]

yeah true

[little swift]

All jobs (what they're called in english) are playable and work well

[remote lintel]

my faves are probably bard but ive been playing ninja a lot

[surreal folio]

when i whant to see the best sometimes i go web ranked 1J1

[remote lintel]

tier lists in this game are just opinions

[surreal folio]

that player is the 1 in ranked ^players

[cursive abyss]

Is it too far fetched to say that we can make the Mark XIV Thermocoil Boilmaster in real life?

[remote lintel]

its just a coffee pot

but fancy

[little swift]

Ranked one in what

[surreal folio]

@remote lintel can you advice me ( buy the sub ) or train in free access until i became good ?

[lone totem]

meta in pvp or meta in pve

[little swift]

Thats for pvp @surreal folio and only for the chaos data center

[lone totem]

because they are two significantly different things

[little swift]

Pvp is only a small part of the game

[surreal folio]

ahh

[little swift]

Rankings don't do much in this game

[remote lintel]

you can play the free trial until 60 and then buy the game if you want

[little swift]

Thats up to you. If you want access to the social stuff having a sub gets you you could pay now

It just means you can't play without paying

[surreal folio]

yeah that what i see cos i only play for 2 days newbie x)

[little swift]

Having the trial is fine

[surreal folio]

yeah that it

i whant to learn

[little swift]

Making the most out of trial time is fine

[surreal folio]

cos i need knowledge, buy to earn knowledge it's hard for me

i try free until i found friends to play with then i buy & play with friends

[steel wedge]

What’s the new tier for armor? As of 4.45

[surreal folio]

thank you all of you guys & sorry for disturbance ^^

[remote lintel]

you mean 5.45

[steel wedge]

Ya my bad

[remote lintel]

its cryptlurker and edenmorn

[faint flare]

There's no more tier of armour

Augmented Cryptlurker and eden savage is the highest ilvl gear for the rest of the expansion

[steel wedge]

So these new tokens are pointless then?

[faint flare]

Which tokens

[steel wedge]

The ones you get for bozgan

[faint flare]

Bojza coins are for 495

Gold coins are for 510 gear

[surreal folio]

what it the best server for ( economy & gameplay ) ?

[faint flare]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)

[faint flare]

See here

[surreal folio]

ok

[earnest wraith]

imo, each server has pro and cons

[steel wedge]

I just remember being able to get armor set in a day if I did duty finder enough times

[faint flare]

You get 3 weekly and can farm Delerum for silver coins to trade

With the chance of a gold coin dropping

The law armour is slightly bettee than Eden promise normal gear

[rough fossil]

Okay I’m still a little confused about ocean fishing. I’ve looked at guides for what bait to use to get the spectral fish, but then I’m confused how you know what bait to switch to during spectral current and why

[faint flare]

People have tested things

To find stuff out

[steel wedge]

I just remember being able to get armor set in a day if I did duty finder enough times

[faint flare]

Thats when they make normal mode unlocked

To be freely farmable

Promise is currently locked until 5.5

[steel wedge]

Ah so just wait then for the new shiny armor is probably the best option for the lazy person?

[faint flare]

The new gear in 5.5 will be weekly locked from nier

At 520

[steel wedge]

Ok then so just wait then for 6.0 to roll out

480 armor doesn’t make that big a difference I would imagine

[faint flare]

480 would be very low for entering Endwalker

Like Matoyas drops 485

And the new dungeon will probably drop maybe i500 gear or something

[steel wedge]

That would be 5.5?

[faint flare]

Yes

[steel wedge]

Ok so then I’ll probably wait for the new patch to worry about new armor then

Doing save the Queen chapters 2
And 3 back to back burnt me out 😅

[keen gate]

Is it normal to kinda have trouble following wtf is going on in the first 20ish hours?

[thin comet]

hola. what do you guys do with allegory & poetics?

i'm currently at lv80 ast & lv60 ninja so i've been getting lv60/70 pieces for ninja but i have all of them now xD

i've also prepared ilvl510 from MB for ninja so i dont see the use of allegory.... is there anything i can sell on the MB using those tomestones?

[modest igloo]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[modest igloo]

you'll figure it out, the story starts as a slow burn

[modest igloo]

if you dont have 510 gear get the 490 gear, otherwise just gets mats to sell on the mb

[keen gate]

Oh ok. Ya I don’t know much that’s going I get the drift but not much beyond that there also really isn’t much going on either or at least that’s what it looks like to me

[thin comet]

oh thanks!

diff between 490 and 510 is quite minimal but if i want to meld materia i guess its better to do it on 510s right?

[modest igloo]

510 is decently big actually

[thin comet]

ohh

[modest igloo]

dont even bother melding unless its 510

[thin comet]

i've actually manage to pentameld my ast gears eventho its only 510 xD

[slate arrow]

below maximum item level item level is king

[thin comet]

i dont do savage or raids but i can heal/dps at ease on DR expert/80 atm

also makes me confused on what to get with revelation lol

[slate arrow]

Delubrum Reginae doesn't count as it syncs to 430

Revelation you should use to buy 520 gear

[modest igloo]

he meant duty roulette

[thin comet]

ohh yes duty roulette my bad

[keen gate]

I have also heard that even tho realm reborn saved ff14 it’s still mediocre and doesn’t compare to any of the other expansions is that true?
