Alright alright thanks
open coral
ARF is special because it doesn't have chests at all. It only gives poetics rewards, and those can only be obtained if you do the instance synced.
tender ice
are the queues long for ARF?
open coral
It's in 50/60/70 roulette, so they're average
manic flare
this is continuing a response i typed earlier about first timer bonus being conditional.
but i understand how that statement can be interpreted in a different way if taken by itself
little swift
Ok sure we'll just say i read into it too much
scarlet arrow
ARF also takes slightly longer to do than a typical dungeon. It's not Praetorium-bad, but still long
little swift
I apologize
scarlet arrow
hmm, I seem to remember there being more boss fights
open coral
It only seems like it because of the last two bosses.
little swift
It takes roughly the same amount of time
open coral
It only has four bosses though.
scarlet arrow
¯_(ツ)_/¯
manic flare
ARF also has an annoying mid-final boss cutscene
which first timers are gonna want to watch
open coral
No. It has a cutscene between the third and fourth bosses.
Not a mid-boss scene...
It just also has one before the third boss, which is what gives the illusion that it's longer than other dungeons.
twilit arch
there is a cutscene between the phase changes of the final boss
little swift
Could consider it a midboss phase change
manic flare
are there 4 bosses in ARF? i dont remember exactly now
rough fossil
Question: when did the housing system change happen that introduced the random timers and no direct sales and stuff? And was that the same time as the 45 day demolish policy?
open coral
There are if you count ||Lahabrea and Ilgyorhm|| and ||Ascian Prime|| as two separate bosses.
manic flare
oh yea you're right, i guess ||iggy and lahabrea|| counts as two separate
twilit arch
Auto demolish was introduced shortly after housing was
spark cradle
anyone know list of hunt discords?

why was there a sudden influx in housing availability around mid-January. It seems like alot of sprouts I joined the game with all bought a house at that time
twilit arch
the hidden timer was added with shirogane housing iirc
remote lintel
rough fossil
What year/patch was that?
open coral
4.1? So about three years ago?

Is (level 50) SAM play - get and keep up Shifu & Jinpu Buffs > keep up Higanbana if boss > build up and use Midare Setsugekka until dead?
twilit arch
shirogane was 4.1
spark cradle

faint flare
Is (level 50) SAM play - get and keep up Shifu & Jinpu Buffs > keep up Higanbana...
Basically
rough fossil
why was there a sudden influx in housing availability around mid-January. It see...
That’s because SE had temporarily halted the demolition policy because of Covid, but then they reinstated it so that’s the time when people lost that grace period
faint flare
Thats the samurai basics
little swift
why was there a sudden influx in housing availability around mid-January. It see...
Mid January was when auto demolition restarting hit 45 days
rough fossil
They’d basically just been piling up so all the houses that had been scheduled for demolition happened all at once
hollow violet
Thats the samurai basics
Thanks. Seemed likely but wasn't sure if I was missing something

Is it fine to ask about ACT things here 
open coral
Yes
robust magnet
coo.
So I got it all installed, plug in, FFlogs installed too.
Is there a setting to make the overlay, actually overlay on my game, or do I need to be in borderless/windowed?
open coral
You have to be in windowed as far as I've been able to figure for myself.

Aside from story quest what is the best way for fast level up?
robust magnet

!faq altlevelguide

robust magnet
^ there you go
open coral
@robust magnet Also, for ACT, idk if it makes a difference, but I always load it as administrator because I also run XIV as administrator, and it doesn't show up otherwise.
little swift
You need to have it run as administrator yes
strong saddle
Do people still do old raids?
open coral
Yes
robust magnet
So windowed only? bummer. Oh well, I'll just keep it up on my second monitor then.
Is there anything else I should know about regarding ACT? Obviously don't talk about using it in game etc.
I've got it set to run as admin, I got the overlay running, loading up in game I see the overlay is reading data.
(didn't accept my background image though).
strong saddle
Okay
open coral
There are roulettes for Alliance and Normal (non Savage) raids, and people do PF for specific Savages.
manic flare
Do people still do old raids?
through roulettes
scarlet arrow
old 24-man raids in particular are popular right now due to resistance weapon quests
strong saddle
Okay thx. Cuz i'm a f2p and wanted to know
open coral
Oh yeah. For the raids you have access to, they're all in roulettes.
The only one that isn't is Binding Coils of Bahamut.
faint flare
They're the lv50 high end raids
strong saddle
Okay 👍
open coral
BCoB is a 13 instance "normal" raid (8-man).
strong saddle
But worth it
open coral
People usually don't do that one synced anymore.
faint flare
No one really ques for them
open coral
And when they do, they do them through PF, which trial players can't use.
scarlet arrow
the issue with the coils is that SE didn't really have the template for raids in place that they have now, so their difficulty varies widely
faint flare
Cause you'll fail most the time
strong saddle
Any boss guides online? Or learn by trial and error?
faint flare
Several old ones
open coral
There are guides, but mostly people learn through trial and error.
little swift
!faq allguide

scarlet arrow
several bosses in the coils will still wipe parties even if they go in unsynced at lvl 80
open coral
Honestly, mechanics are well-telegraphed enough for most content that you can go in blind and be able to figure out what to do pretty easily.
And if you do get tagged by a mechanic, they're not often punishing enough to kill you outright.
BCoB being one of the exceptions.
foggy flame
For the Haunting and Vex Memories of the Dying, how often are the fates supposed to drop them? I did several yesterday and never got a single one. Queue times for raids are abysmally long to make it worth going that route
open coral
They're pretty low.
little swift
Rng is rng
foggy flame
It feels like gatekeeping
little swift
Just do both. Queue for the raids and farm fates while in queue
foggy flame
I have been

Its one time only

Having blue mage to blow up the fates also speed sup the process

but queues being over an hour long and no drops for the memories is very disheartening

i know i went through it to get my current house
it's also the only reason i remain subbed
so i dont lose it
foggy flame
I accidentally bought a house
was just checking if it was available to buy for someone else and it just gives it to you with no confirmation

Would that be the fastest way of getting poetics via a duty though
open coral
Yes

faint flare

foggy flame
Do you just recommend getting the cryptlurker weapon even though it isn't the BiS in the long run?
little swift
if you aren't going to clear e12s any time soon its not a bad investment
if you're doing it to prog the fight
if not just finish a relic
rough fossil
Okay so let me get this right: there is a ward almost entirely made of houses owned by <<Twins>>. Each house is owned by someone with the same name as the plot location. Am I to understand that these are all separate FCs with the same tag that were created specifically for this purpose?
little swift
probably a couple people doing this too
rough fossil
But they’re all FC companies because they have the tag
scarlet arrow
there are people who are (in)famous for owning wards like that
rough fossil
And upon closer inspection yeah each one is owned by a rank 6 FC with 1-2 members
Wtf
twilit arch
fc tags by the by are not unique
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
is it fair to the housing district, nah but its not something you can really stop
twilit arch
but yes, there are people out htere who make 1-2 player fcs and just buy the wards
rough fossil
Right so they’re all different FCs with the same tag
twilit arch
mhm

I was just wondering since they were all established in 2018 whether this was before or after the housing change

So they had to create accounts with specific plots in mind, level up a FC to 6, hope that plot went up for sale, and then succeed in buying it? Like 20 times?
foggy flame
if you have the tomestone from 10s its not a bad idea. since 11s gives the ester
sadly I have neither. it would just be the base cryptlurker weapon
rough fossil
Having just gone through housing (savage) myself that just seems straight up impossible
little swift
sadly I have neither. it would just be the base cryptlurker weapon
yah thats still less hassle than the relic 515 albeit on a mild substat loss
twilit arch
or they bought the fc house from someone else, or bought when new wards happened
little swift
because you'll eventually get through 11s and can get the ester that way
more weapon damage for prog makes the dps checks smoother
rough fossil
Oh wait, can you change the FC name?
twilit arch
yes
little swift
yes you can change both
rough fossil
Ah. But still. Yikes
naive kraken
its adjusted based on the additional reward
but ultimately just RNG based on what the additional item is then

trying to calculate based on speed and efficiency vs pure total gil and noticed a discrepancy XD

You start with 20mins on the timer
Which goes up as you progress
shrewd owl
Yeah so who do I prioritize?
Cards are either better on melee or ranged
Look at the AST gauge when you have drawn a card out
If you see a blue border around it, use it on a melee dps, if it is purple, use it on a caster or ranged

I only have Afflatus Solace. Should I use it to save MP or leave it as an Oopsie skill
faint flare
Its higher priority than Cure 2
remote lintel
afflatus solace doesnt use mp
twilit arch
should use your lilies skill before using any other gcd skill, if you're out of ogcds to use
remote lintel
your ogcd heals take priority over gcd heals

Weird question, what's a tank with flashy animations?

Alrighty! I'll level that then. Thank you.

Any easy way to get good level 60+ gathering gear? Specifically for a Botanist.
manic flare
paladin is kinda flashy too
twilit arch
push to 61 and buy vendor gear
manic flare
Any easy way to get good level 60+ gathering gear? Specifically for a Botanist.
buy them with scrips you get from custom deliveries
twilit arch
since lvl 60 scrip gear, outside of accessories, is class specific
so it takes up more space, whereas the 61 vendor gear is all class and should cover you just fine
gritty oracle
Can sub components break between destinations, or is damage only calculated at the end of the trip?
wraith pier
Scrips? from the GC? I'm not too familiar with it.
faint flare
Yellow scrips
manic flare
nvm, just go with killwyrn's suggestion
twilit arch
no, scrips are earned from turning in collectables to the house of splendors
devout lichen
is the grand company hunting log worth doing
twilit arch
yes
twilit arch
its free gc seals, and you'll need it for promotions anyway
covert berry
ew... the game doenst make sales often? been days I dont see one :/
faint flare
Not particularly
remote lintel
there was a sale recently
manic flare
ew... the game doenst make sales often? been days I dont see one :/
it goes on sale regularly on newegg, gog, green man gaming, steam, and on square enix official site
manic flare
is the grand company hunting log worth doing
if you want to eventually buy a house, yes
remote lintel
it goes on sale less frequently on steam
devout lichen
house or apartmant
covert berry
ah sad
I wanted to buy shadowbringers, im almost 60, guess I came late on sales :/
(now on expansion)

Hey guys, I can only join company of my server and not from others server in the same world, right ?

I wasn't playing when it was on the sale

Would anyone mind helping me with my hotbar? It's been so long Im kind of clueless on what I should be using more frequently

Okay, so get gathering gear from which level 61 vendor? @twilit arch

or just buy the expansion

faint flare
A few weeks/a month from the expansion

Bojza
remote lintel
@covert berry do you want to wait 6+ months or not
faint flare
At the base
leaden ginkgo
ah
faint flare
The supplier there
covert berry
i can wait 1month for a sale, but 6? seems too much @remote lintel
remote lintel
no i mean
faint flare
I doubt there will be another sale anytime soon
remote lintel
6 months until endwalker releases if you were planning on buying everything
there will probably be a sale during summer

are you on steam or windows

Does something like this look right?

You can remove Fluid aura

faint flare
Yes the latest chapter
leaden ginkgo
Can I auto-skip the cutscene for entering bozja?
faint flare
Yes. Just turn the option on
covert berry
@remote lintel windows bcs of free trial but i guess I can change anytime
remote lintel
@covert berry you can check newegg or greenmangaming to see if they have the game for cheaper
sometimes they do
covert berry
i dont really like these websites
faint flare
Seals are your company's currency

There's Multi seater mounts

that's the regalia mount which you buy from the mogstatiion

Ah.. .How long is MSQ for Shadowbringers
spare plinth
when do scholars pop fey illumination?
remote lintel
prob about 20 hours
faint flare
when do scholars pop fey illumination?
To mitigate room wide damage, or to buff gcd heals if needes
spare plinth
i imagine in savage raids when to pop fey illumination is specific but i assume you can pop it when you think you need to heal in regular 8-man raids?
remote lintel
not necessarily
proven magnet
@spare plinth hey lol whats up
remote lintel
again i just use it on cd because its free mitigation
proven magnet
is there any wolf mounts
remote lintel
many
faint flare
All the stormblood extreme mounts are wolves
spare plinth
on cooldown?
spare plinth
tank?
remote lintel
because the chest armor says you cant put headgear on
twilit arch
in ARR there are certain pieces of armour that take up 2 slots
remote lintel
on the tooltip
proven magnet
twilit arch
Yeah
remote lintel
read the tooltip
twilit arch
that's a chest piece that takes up both helm and chest slots
its notes this in the tooltip
remote lintel
"cannot equip gear to head"
manic flare
is that armor worth wearing then without a helmet?
depends on if you like the look
faint flare
It takes awhile
proven magnet
I only have 14
proven magnet
o
manic flare
once you start knowing your class better, andd once you start knowing the dungeons/bosses/mechanics better
people will start to comm you
and once you start branching out to other roles like healer aand tank

how much player commendations do you have?
leaden ginkgo
where do i find delibrum reginae in the duty finder
spare plinth
i feel like healers and tanks usually receive commendation
faint flare
Its not in the duty finder
manic flare
how much player commendations do you have?
not sure, it's not something i check regularly
faint flare
Gotta use the npc
spare plinth
though i think there are cases dps get some commendation
spark cradle
how do you check what the default dye is for a gear?
manic flare
how much player commendations do you have?
people give comms for the randomest of reasons, if for no other reason than the last person to leave an alliance raid
spark cradle
people tend to commend tank and healers more
manic flare
i once received 4 comms as a dps, for literally not doing much at all in a raid
manic flare
makes me mad about the times where i tryharded as healer/tank and got one or no comms
faint flare
Just do content and you'll build them
lone totem
get on very high chains and dominate, win the match, get 4-5 comms lol
manic flare
ok, after around 5 months of playing and still as a sprout,
I have
lone totem
pretty good
when I first started playing the game, sprout system and comm system did not exist yet
manic flare
generally as a tank, i feel like the healer usually comms me
but playing as a healer, you will get multiple comms
since i like pulling wall to wall in dungeons
i will comm the healer if they kept me alive
lapis cave
so tryna login on my pc and im getting an error "you could not log in because the service account in question is not registered" but when i go to my account it says i have 10 remaining days. i have cancelled my renewal but wouldnt think it would prevent me
normal plank
i just got to the point in the story where you choose grand companies, is there any specific reason to choose specific ones over others?
i.e. the maelstrom vs twin adder vs immortal flames choice
remote lintel
@lapis cave which platform do you have the game on and which launcher are you using
normal plank
it's just glams that matter right
manic flare
it's just glams that matter right
as well as location of your GC
lapis cave
im using the square enix one and i have it on windows and PS not sure how to tell which it is
frozen wind
and it says "Cannot be used in instance dungeon or pvp"
does that mean the gear i wear from it will be gone?
if i go into those instances
lone totem
you cannot open it
twilit arch
no
shrewd owl
no it just means you cant open it in instances
remote lintel
you cant open the coffer in a dungeon or whatever
shrewd owl
you can still use the gear
lone totem
in those locations
shrewd owl
in instances
twilit arch
it means you can't open it in a dungeon or pvp
frozen wind
okay thank goodness
remote lintel
@lapis cave are you trying to log in from the steam launcher?
lapis cave
no im trying to log in through the FFXIV launcher
frozen wind
also how does one craft glamour prisms?
spark cradle
example gear for tanks from immortal flames
normal plank
are twin adder's glams good?
i can't stand maelstrom's gc location
lone totem
I buy prisms using my grand company seals
remote lintel
@lapis cave can you screenshot your mog station page
frozen wind
ahhh
remote lintel
theres sites in #glamour-discussion pins where you can see gear
lapis cave
spark cradle
oh yeah i keep forgetting
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
are you sure youre using this launcher nefarious
twilit arch
they can also be bought with wolf marks (pvp currency) or bicoloured gems (shadowbringers fate currency)
but grand company seals are by far the easiest and quickest way to get them
frozen wind
bleh i was hoping to save my seals
frozen wind
Still trying to get the next promotion so i can dump in all my old gear into becoming serpent seals
twilit arch
You should prioritize using your seals for promotions
frozen wind
serpent sergeant 2nd class is when we can exchange our gear for seals right?
twilit arch
yes
frozen wind
y i havent bought anything with the seals yet
remote lintel
i mean you can buy glamour prisms on the mb for gil
frozen wind
been focusing on only using them for promotions until I can exchange my gear for seals

tender ice
Is PvP worth it? Also how do they balance it with all the gear in the game?
cobalt mauve
What aether server has best queue times

stats are balanced in pvp
matchmaking is done across the data center

Is PvP worth it? Also how do they balance it with all the gear in the game?
PvP outside of frontline is pretty dead. You need dedicated communities for it to ever get a queue pop. That being said, frontline is pretty fun.

What do you do in Frontline?
remote lintel
its 72 man king of the hill

From my experience across all 3 NA DCs, towards the evening around 3pm PST seems to be the best times
Idk about EU & JP but I would assume the same

I would imagine other pvp modes will become active during moogle tome event times

You cant use PF in bojza

so duty finder is cross server but for static you need people from your server?

you always get a party in CEs

this recruitment channel is mostly fcs

doesn't mean you can't use it for static recruitment
zinc orbitBOT
deep gyro
yeah im just trying to suggest the most efficient way
he can go and post on every recruitment board that he wants
ive just noticed that the daily post volume of erc has far exceeded any other recruitment channel
little swift
would make sense
its the dedicated static recruitment for EU that most people refer to
leaden ginkgo
hey guys, i just got back into ffxiv. want to know whats easier to play as, get into raids, and do content in general, pld or whm? i as because i dont have much time nowadays
faint flare
Whatever you're more comfortable with
Both tanks and healers will generally have slots
For statics
And shorter ques when queing for content
remote lintel
i would say whm is pretty straightforward but theyre both easy
leaden ginkgo
i just want something more ''brainless'' between the 2
deep gyro
whm
remote lintel
white mage
leaden ginkgo
something that if i mess up, the whole thing is fucked
deep gyro
whm is a reactionary healer
remote lintel
i mean thats every role in endgame raids
in casual content you dont really fuck everything over from 1 mistake
obsidian patio
You still very much plan out your cooldowns as a white mage
deep gyro
in savage any role can fuck up certain mechanics
leaden ginkgo
so basically which class can i make the most mistakes as lol
remote lintel
paladin
deep gyro
in general
leaden ginkgo
i have to know the mechanics as pld and whm regardless right?
deep gyro
yes
remote lintel
not really
faint flare
That goes for every job
deep gyro
regardless of role
remote lintel
casual content can be done blind
deep gyro
you need to execute mechanics
if you're looking for content requiring no effort i personally wouldn't go into savage at this point
leaden ginkgo
i feel like pld might be easier since im only thinking of the boss and its positioning, whereas whm im thinking about myself and everyone else, therefore id think pld might be easier, but im new, what do you guys think?
deep gyro
any other content would be suitable if you dont want the fuss of doing mechanics
remote lintel
healing is the most braindead role imo
but if you make mistakes as a tank youll prob be fine because of tank privilege
faint flare
Damage is extremely predictable
remote lintel
as a healer you literally just spam 1 button 80% of the time
covert berry
I'm lvl 51 doing main quest, should I stop main story for do the roulette?
covert berry
uh
