Ah that's better
So it might just confuse you further
Yeah just follow that and ignore the skills you don't have
(also ignore the potions)
wish me luck then
It seems complicated at first but it's really simple once you wrap the ol' bird brain around it 🙂
scroll in?
Yeah the names hide when you zoom out
i'm fucking stupid
im an idiot

How do you make different gear sets for classes that use the same armor drops?
I don't completely understand melding yet, but since the different tanks for example benefit from slightly different stat spreads, how do you build up for endgame so that you can swap between tank classes whenever you feel like it?
long story short, you can't
you just deal with the fact that you'll have suboptimal melds on one of the classes
Is there a meld path that lets you use all tanks at 90%?
unless you want to actually invest in acquiring two sets, or switching out all of the materia whenever you want to switch
for tanks, I believe you're supposed to go with the WAR build of Crit>Det
DH is too much of a wasted stat for them, whereas Det isn't horrible for other tanks
Warrior is the only one with a different path from the others?
Yes
Oh then it's easy, I wasn't too interested in warrior anyway :)))
There ya go then 
hi i did a duty that has Irregular Tomestones of Esoterics but i didn't get any
did you run it unsynced or queue normally?
Just quickly, do the healers have different endgame melding specs?
i can't play it unsynced?
ok thank you
Alright, I'll ask healer people when I reach 80
you could check over on the balance
I'm sure they have healer melds for all the jobs, just compare them
if i play roullete and a quest that has Irregular Tomestones of Esoterics comes up do i get them or it doesn't work if it's roullete?
it will work
thanks
Sweet, thanks guys
I don't think it works if you join in progress though
alright gonna turn that off
is it better to use party finder?
Depends on what you want to use it for
eden
Savage or normal?
normal for now
then just use df
need to progress
you won't have much success with df on savage though
that's when you need pf, at least on EU and NA
in e10s, can others’ shadow clones slash you?
yes, if the person and their clone get too close, it does an aoe cleave that can also kill other people
Ye that’s the case if i get close to my own clone. But what happens if i dont, and someone else does, will the clone slash too?
no
Only if they get close to their clones
And after the boss uses Shadow Keeper to teleport all clones
best way (for me) when the doggo uses shadowkeeper, just turn back away so the shadow will cleave backwards.
why dont I have this unlocked yet? https://i.imgur.com/hNn7D58.png
Do the level 35 Paladin quest
many abilities come from your class/job quests
They should take priority over everything, even MSQ
Forgot they existed
It happens
Do these stack ? https://i.imgur.com/DA9a9H6.png
That can be incredibly dangerous for people who try to dodge the cleaves by running behind the clones. Assuming multiple people stack up for the teleport.
they stack multiplicatively

so 50% reduction?
it's not a great idea to stack them, you will get more by using them one after the other
No
Think about it like this: You use Sentinel and it reduces dmg taken by 30%
Then after that you use rampart, which reduces the REMAINING dmg taken by 20%
So you have diminishing returns the more mitigation you stack
Also, a small, less-known tanking tip: On trash, Arm's Length makes an excellent mitigation tool. It will afflict all mobs with Slow which increases their autoattack timer/cast timer, decreasing their damage greatly.
note that it doesn't work on most bosses and doesn't actually reduce damage taken, it just makes the enemy deal damage less frequently
I fought a lv50 special Fate (Behemoth) and it doesn ask me to sync down 🤔
is there a reason for that?
It would've unless you weren't high enough level already to sync down
ok guys i have to do the thok ast thok primal battle to progress the heavensward story, have been queueing for 60 minutes now, and still havent found one person, was wondering if anyone would like to join me in the search so i can progress this damn story?
on light btw
- how do i unlock new game+
- do my inventory, glamour, gear and what not get carried over?
- in new game+ do i start from the very beginning or can i start at certain expansions?
- does the difficulty get increased?
- along with the cutscenes and dialogue will have to go through the dungeons as well?
Does pagos only have one type of crystal, compared to the two that were in anemos?
Or do I need to unlock something to get the other kind?
(I'm doing eureka without progressing the relic quest currently, as I want the armor glam, but I wanna passively stock up for the future just in case)
- Do quests. Sounds vague, and it is, but the more story quests you do the more you unlock
- New Game+ in this game is not like a Souls game or anything similar. It just resets story, allowing you to experience it again. So yes, you keep your things.
- New Game+ has various chapters to it, you can play through them in those chunks.
- No
- Probably
It's essentially a system to relive certain story moments
Not something you do for the challenge or anything
When you have finished the Anemos weapon and get to level 25 to unlock the next one, Gerolt wants you to collect light that you trade for Frosted Protean Crystals. You need 31 per weapon and they are the slowest part of Pagos
Also worth noting that repearing quests in NG+ won't give any XP or gil
And i assume you can't prestock that without a relic...
You need to have a weapon to unlock the light grind, but as soon as you unlock you can stock them up
But you will have finished the Pagos Crystal and Louhi Ice grind long before the frosted proteans
does anyone have a link to the catwalk discord server?
Hey is there any point in using the lower tier gathering skills ie: Arbour Call I when you've unlocked Arbour Call II?
If i leave things in glamour chest or armoire, are they available to me to cast as glamours to items on the fly? Or if I want to turn a newly acquired into a thing I own already, does it have to be on my prson?
You can put the items in your glamour dresser and armoire onto glamour plates, to make whole sets of glam that you can apply in cities
How do I level other jobs if MSQ is too high level for them?
!faq altlevelguide
With fights that have a checkpoint, do you actually have to hit the boss before resetting?
don't think you do
For Arbor Call specifically, yes, since they do different things. AC1 points to the closest node, regardless of its level. AC2 points to the highest level node, regardless of distance. For stuff like Leaf Turn/Unearth and Bountiful Harvest, generally 2 is better than 1.
thanks!
Does people not do potd anymore
They do
idk, all ive done it with is emex and e12s so i dont really wanna test it and have to do p1 again
I've been queuing for like 15 minutes
which is why i think ppl are unsure lmaoo
Which floors?
11+ early floors
The early floors can have bad queues during off peak
its peak it jp rn
I'm on peak
Wait can you queue for other floors than 1 and 51?
just has bad queues
Yeah, the early floors can be ugly
I'll try but I don't think they'll join
give it a shot
Too busy farming esoterics
you can 3 man it comfy up to 51
I think I soloed to 50
Yeah
Holy shit after 20 mins

I read potd gives a lot of levels
I went from 8-10 after 10 floors
Is there a way to disable vendor options in garlandtools list? Too lazy to recreate the same list in teamcraft.
can I swap my installation folder for FFXIV through Steam?
or would that mess things up
kinda running low on my regular HD and was gonna swap it to SSD
potd only really becomes efficient after floor 50
You would probably have to point steam to the new directory but it should work
It's not that PotD gives a lot of levels, but rather that for dps classes with long queue times, it's a more efficient method of leveling than queueing for dungeons. 10 floors of PotD is only about the same as doing one at-level dungeon from an xp standpoint.
is there a channel here I can ask for help with filling a pf with, its so slow and every time someone joins someone else leaves
#494379215420915712 is the closest you'll get.
i see, ty
Do you get moogle tomestome for doing msq roulette?
Yes
Thanks, yes I know that. I was talking about doing one piece (like convert an ugly helmet into a ribbon) in the field. Does the ribbon have to be on me? Or can I leave things in dresser or armoire but still cast them out fo cities?
To use them out in the field you need to have them on your person
Glamour plates are city only
What do u do when u die in potd
Wait to be raised, either with a raise, phoenix down or by the cairn of return
when you put something in the glam dresser, can you no longer use the item as gear?
You can remove it
Not unless you take it back out.
oh ok
Where to start part 2 of eden?
Same place part 1 ended, mord sorq
Thankss
Its all in morq sorq
Are there anything else other than eden and nier?
Wanna try to finish them before free login ends
2 more days
I fought ||WoL|| how many more msq after that?
Not much
additionally, you can put something in the dresser, make a glamour plate with it, then take it out and use it
and it will stay on the plate
Just small msqs and no dungeon?
1 dungeon
Can I clip a doman dogwood into a glade couch so the sitting part of the dogwood is hidden?
beast tribes and bozja
also the trial series
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am looking ahead to the Ishgard housing and wanted to know if it would be allowed (or if this is already a thing) to offer some gil as a tip for information on relocations. For instance, if I am looking to move to a certain plot in LB or Shiro, could I pay someone for letting me know if/when they relo from there into Ishgard?
as long as it isn't rmt you're in the clear
With dungeons?
bozja
What trials?
beast tribes don't have dungeons, bozja has two and a field zone
||Weapon trials||
Okay cool
eg ||Ruby Weapon||
trials set can be done in a couple hours
Is this a 9% chance to reach HQ or that I'm 9% of the way to reaching it?
bozja will take several days if you speed through it
So we died at floor 40 potd boss
Is there a way to place a namazu servant on a desk?
9% chance
Do I have to restart all the way from 31
thanks!
The one in ShB is ||ruby||?
Which one to start the series?
Hmm
I logged in and novice network is gone 
How do I get back in?
!faq contentunlock
should i keep timeworn maps? or sell them?
Just see Shadowbringers
Not sure which one is it
@raw sorrel Ask a mentor. You either got kicked or leveled out of it, if the latter is the case then you can't get back in
Alternatively, it's full
It can happen, especially since a lot of people are online for the tome event it seems
@jaunty mason up to you. some of them require many ppl to complete so they can be hard
Is there a way to place a namazu servant on another furniture piece?
Nope, NPCs are counted as indoors furniture, so they can't be placed tabletop.
.> that sucks but tks
you can get back as a mentor :3
So 25 minutes queuing for 31-40 floor potd
Does it get worse
ohh.. thanks!
probably a dumb qustion but does this macro look ok? /micon "Raise"
/merror off
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/wait 1
/ac "Raise" <t>
/p No time for a catnap <t>
its strongly recommended to not macro swiftcast and raise together
its going to be slower in general than manually pressing swiftcast and then raise
if you really want a raise macro, for announcing who you're raising, just cut out swiftcast and put on a keybind that's comfortable for you. Also put /micon at the bottom of the macro
does FC-workshop housing exterior come in a full set?
yes
So I just achieved "highest rank" in Twin Adder and I still can't do Hunts on the Hunt board. I thought this was it? Also, it tells me I can now switch to another company I think. Am I truly done with Twin Adder and can switch to some other one for their rewards as well?
you also need to do the quest "let the hunt begin!"
@twilit arch oh oki,other then that does it look ok,i dunno how to test it without letting someone die
the FC-crafted one that sells on marketboard only shows "wall", but it will give me a full set, right?
thankyou,i was gonna cast thin air by myself so i guess swift cast should too
I see. Maybe I started it but never finished it 🤔 I'll look into it when I get on again!
yes, basically every housing exterior crafted by FC workshop is a full housing exterior. Its not like the housing exteriors that you can craft with normal crafters, in that it can be mixed and matched
Repeat the raise line a few more times to help alleviate the macro queuing issue and then on the last raise put a <wait.1> before adding your message on the line below. This let's you mash the button without spamming the chat log with whatever message you have
Don't put the wait as a separate line to account for animation buffer
Thats a waste of a macro line
Which of the Stormblood primal mounts is obtainable in the current moogle event?
Lakshami
Lakshmi?
which mounts are exclusive other than the Falcon?
None
people tend to drop Castrum
Two people immediately left
Which I never understood why
do they get a penalty?
The first person does
People drop castrum cause its less XP than praetorium
so is it now scaled for 6 ppl?
no
Ask the party leader to replenish ranks
You need to replace the members
Its still playable until those people arrive
apparently
The party leader needs to click on replenish ranks to fill the party back to 8
yeah...cos castrum doesn't require that much ilvl to clear
The party leader probably already has put up recruitment
Castrum does require a bit more brainpower though
You need like 2 people with decent gear to steam roll it
idk if i am the leader
There is a L symbol next to the party leader name/icon
in the party list
how do i add memebers?
Is there a way to generate GP faster? It looks like it recovers about 5/tick
i didnt notice it
you can eat food
Then should be a notification in the notification area
to get an instant boost to GP
Use cordials
cordials, but they have cooldowns between usages
thanks. I sold all of my food to clear inventory about 15 minutes ago lol. I'll start carrying some around
cordials sorry
Food only increases your max gp
not food
You get traits later to increase its regen slightly
ah okay. thanks!
are those traits locked behind quests?

Yes 70 trait is from the quest
Do them anyways you get skills like luck of the mountaineer and dredge
Also upgrades to you unearth ii to iii
unearth 3 is HUGE when trying to get treasure maps or seeds.
why doesn't SE offer a level to 50 skip? i'm getting my friend into the game and she isn't really getting hooked by arr but i know she'd love heavensward. i'd buy her the arr skip and a level 50 if i could, but that
s not an option
70 is overkill
I guess if you're trying to get a HQ chain to use Luck of the Mountaineer, but even then I never do that to find maps. I find it easier to just go node to node until one appears.
No reason to sell lower level skips when that isn't close to endgame cap
Just level manually
Your friend needs to learn to play the game anyways if you're skipping them
And arr has important story elements relevant to worldbuilding and the expansions
Skipping them would likely leave her confused about what's going on
Not to say she can't enjoy the expansions without it
But she'll definitely be a lot less invested
i just hope arr holds her attention long enough to actually reach hw :\
How far in is she
just joined a gc and got her chocobo, so still early
So barely into the msq
I feel you on it
It doesn't really feel like it has a narrative focus until maybe about titan
Maybe try partying up for some of the early dungeons? I find duties more fun than msq, even the low level ones lol
At the point they're at they've done 3 dungeons 1 trial
yeah we've done the dungeons and trial together
Ah well, not much you can do except encourage cutscenes skipping lolol
Your friend could probably catch up on the are story with a quick wiki read
Arr
Yes
Is there a macro to leave a dungeon/abandon a dungeon? I'm doing PotD atm to lvl archer to lvl 30
No, just press the duty finder button again and press leave
hmmm I'm seeing /leave is an action but it says, 'unavailable at this time' while I'm in PotD solo fix party
Dont be in combat
what stats to look out for gnb?
Skill speed to tier, usually around 2.4s gcd > crit > dh > det
hello, noob here... if I wanna play a healer, is there a way to start the game in Gridania?
You pick conjuerer
conjurer
Conjurer is the only healer you can start as and its in Gridania
Healer and starts in gridina
ok cool perfect, and then I can be scholar after? or only whm?
If you wanna play scholar afterwards you'd have to unlock arcanist and level that up once you get access to Limsa Lominsa
ok thanks
Hello y’all ! I’m like brand new to the game. Y’all think I should get a mouse n keyboard or is controller fine? Seems overwhelming with all these abilities and stuff xD idk how to adjust my HUD either
hey guys, in which patch of hw ishgard restoration is unlocked?
post 3.3
both are fine, play whats more comfortable to you
^

If you do play controller you'll still want a keyboard for typing in chat though
Ty
Gotcha. Appreciate it
Ignoring healers and tanks, can you rely on your position in the aggro list as a gauge of how much DPS you are doing?
to a degree
I know that certain DPS jobs have enmity reduction abilities
Not really
But the issue is that uh
if you die for example, your entire emnity resets
and that also wouldn't take into account damage you contribute through buffs and stuff
tbh like, you could probably use that for a rough look based on the opener but then after that there are a lot of factors that can fuck with that bar
Nah, those have been basically removed
and tank aggro will be so big that it'll make it impossible to see the actual difference between aggro position so you still wouldn't see how close you are to someone else
And consider healing generates a lot of aggro as well
Is it possible to return to the instance in the quest “the bozja incident”?
Not yet
Any idea what this red text means? I’m not subbed so Ik it’s not subscription expiration
Imagine spending so much time on a cool map then only letting u see it once
Where do I find lv 10+ fates
Your free days are almost up
Free play days left
So when they’re up I can’t play? I thought it was free till like lvl50
We'll be able to play it again once NG+ for the resistance weapons (5.55) is out
You bought the game in some form or fashion
You're no longer on the free trial
^
Gotcha , thank you
I bought a mount yesterday off the Enix store I have been charged and still don’t have it, keep waiting or contact support?
Have you tried the mailbox request delivery function yet
Yeah
Contact SE support then
Ok thanks

What is Gil used for?
teleporting
do you have to buy a new house permit when you relo?
Sorry a lot of nooby questions I’m just brand new lol
Ty
nope
does the whole dang house come with you? xD
i moved to a med house like 2 weeks ago, and the house just became medium.
hax
welp the decorations and stuff are gone and stored in the storage box.
also you get like a small discount if you move to a medium house from a small house
buy a job scroll from the retainer and assign them the job
you use the certificate thing on them
best way to farm poetic ?
and they cant be a higher level than your class
roulettes
and you can go to rival wings too that is 50 per game and you also win the moogles. 🙂 2 birds with 1 stone
unless a trains is available to you
that can give you 30 poetics per mob, and most a trains are 12 mobs so that is 360 poetics in 20 mins or so.
is this for shb trains? i thought shb only gives rev and all
they give poetics too
yeah, shb gives 40 nuts, 30 poetics, 20 alleg, and 10 rev.
When I eventually make a video series on FF14, would it be better to start a new character or use my current character and just NG+?
You want to turn the MSQ into a video series?
If so, it doesn't really matter I guess. NG+ may allow you to use more fancy glams from the beginning
what's a reliable way to get level 70 scholar gear for your retainer? anything I can do to farm 5 sets pretty easily?
kinda low on poetics.
and gil
Have you done Eureka?
unsync omega?
not on this account unfortunately.
I did BA and everything on my main char
I mean when you start investing time to farm gear you might as well farm gil or poetics
Wouldn't be any less efficient
Damn, if you had Eureka Pyros and Hydatos done, I would have just said go do bunnies for a couple of hours to solve the gil problem.
yeeaaa I know
I don't have gathers or bunnies on this character
it really hits hard for the gil problem
I have been turning my seals into gil, but not enough really
that I have to get ventures now
Could also just farm poetics
Do MSQ roulette and this week's wondrous tails for a good chunk
Should be 800 already
Is it faster to level all combat classes to 80 than it is to level all crafting and gathering classes to 80?
do you think doing unsync runs of some easy level 70 dungeon would do for gear until they're level 80?
Leveling all crafters and gatherers to 80 doesn't take nearly as long as leveling all the combat jobs to 80
^
Dang it
Crafter/gathering is super fast with ishgard
How do you level combat classes the fastest? Just dungeon runs constantly?
It should be fine, especially when you just take some higher level dungeon (in terms of ilvl)
!faq altlvlguide
Pretty much. Roulettes, beast tribes and dungeons
Alright thanks guys
Also the daily frontline roulette gives a ton of EXP
I am in level 63 MSQ and keep capping on Poetics. Is there s HW relic stage where you dump poetics I can unlock relatively quickly or would that be too deep into the anima relic process?
I have the shire weapon for all of my combat classes and even bought some ironworks weapons for a couple of alt classes haha
Weapons only? No other gear?
No I got the full ironworks set for my main class in ARR but in HW the primal gear they give you is perfectly fine
just get shire
The primal stuff is bare minimum
the primal gear is only 240
I'm close to getting MSQ gear better than shire though...
Then get it for alt jobs
Dunno what job you are playing but it may share gear with another anyway
I am playing Nin
!faq poetics
Yeah that's been useful for my MCH
Can these be bought from a vendor right away or do you need to progress the relic questline?
you can buy it right away
Thanks!
unidentified items 10 each
pneumites 15each (can be bought with poetics or gc seals)
umbrites not sure about this
and the last step forgot about this @leaden ginkgo
thanks for the info, I'll take a look at them
is bahamut second coil savage more difficult than other savages? im running an old content raid group and a perseon said that synched second coil is as difficult as current ultimates. is that true?
i was under the impression that it was just "regular" savages
synced T9 will probably give you nightmares though
i just didnt know if coil savages were a leap up from the difficulties of future savages or not
i was under the impression that all savages were in generally the same difficulty tier
no there are definitely some tiers that are easier than others
but not by a huge margin usually
yeah the person i was speaking to compared running synched coil savages to running ultimates in terms of difficulty, which surpised me
the thing about coils is that it was very much an experimental phase on difficulty of fight encounters
but at the same time we have such an ilvl gap now that it can trivialize a lot more of the fights than what people would think
yah but likening it to ultimates would be a bit of a stretch
totally anecdotal, but i've seen a streamer prog a decent set of these fights blind as a sprout static and they usually were able to move through the floors with an hour or so, sometimes by butt brute forcing it a lot more than expected
is there away to... turn off quest jingle?
quest jingle?
the quest accept music
the sound played when you accept and finish a quest
turn off bg music
but that removes everything
thats the only way i know 
i expect there's no specific quest related adjustment
I guess I will live with it then :shy:

does ping matter in normal dungeons and raids?
how does one equip materia?
ive been trying to drag it onto my grimoir but it wont work
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Read here
So what can I do and can't do in this game? Like can I have macros, add-ons, weak auras? Download a ui from a site . Sorry if someone don't understand but I'm coming from wow.
Thanks.
Macros are an ingame thing and are extremely terrible for combat
!faq zodiac
im at the part where i have to delive a erudite materia but its redded out
You need to meld it with the specified materia gerolt asked you to meld it wity
ping always matters. but with how server ticks work, its less of a problem to be higher up in ping than it would be on games that are a lot more reactive.
meld?
how does gearing work? My only thing of comparison is wow classic/retail
As in how you get better gear?
more like is tier sets
Higher ilvl gear is generally better
where thye have abelites and bonus attached to each set
oh
Its just stats
There is also usually a clear best in slot option
well good. i like farming bis
how do i get to first serpent lietnuant?
To get it you run the current raid tier, it always works like that
It says im at the maximum allowed promotion rank
There are some additional requirements at certain thresholds. Which rank are you now?
second serpent lieutenant
So macros are bad in the game , what about weak auras or add-ons does this game has any
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
there is this
What does antediluvian mean?
ugh that sucks
and it has add-on mods for extra stuff
Well macros aren't universally bad, they are some cases where they have their uses.
I'm a tank if that matters
Depends more on the specific job
@cursive abyss really old
typically its not recommended to macro gcds
for a new savage prog, if my group is lacking a caster, would the 1% missing buff from raid comp matter for the most part?
edit: would it be an it-depends thing for enrage?
Pld
but there are select off global cooldowns where macros don't hurt @rose oak
I just unlocked DR savage. Is there any discord dedicated to that?
as a paladin its pretty much just shirk and maybe intervention mouseover
I guess to get squadron to level 3, I just have to keep training them?
but manual clicking is going to be faster
Yup
training them isnt by sending missions right
its the improving physical stat one
or
is it by mission?
you need to complete 5 different squadron command missions to unlock the 3rd flagged mission
I'm just trying to set myself up as optimal as possible for a smooth tanking.
Any UI like elv ui in wow or can u copy paste a string that you like for example
Well you do need to train them to complete the missions
ui is largely just self adjustment
you can copy and paste other people's ui files if you have access to those
you dont need any outside thing for optimal tanking
if you really want to you could macro your invuln and/or shirk/provoke but thats about it
don't macro provoke
Gotcha I know In wow we have weak auras for boss abilities,add-ons etc
No such thing here
Gotcha
there is cactbot that tells you upcoming boss abilities
thats an ACT add-on
but no real reason to use it
since fights are so scripted
Gotta make due with what the game gives you in terms of UI but honestly, while WoW sucks without addons XIV does not
yeah you can just memorize mechanics
there are some ui mods but honestly the base one is perfectly functional
lots of customization
Wouldn't something like that be against ToS?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
All third party stuff is techincally against tos
I'm assuming I can customize HP bar size and button size and move everything or am I limited
Right but something that gives you fore-warning of an attack would be giving you an unfair advantage, no?
you can move and adjust most stuff in hud layout
You can change its size and move in hud editor
its nto any different than having a shotcaller
its just computer automated
yeah it's not super different
Cool well I'll be doing that then
but is it necessary in this game? not particularly
and you can still most definitely die with cactbot
How is it different from just looking at the enemy's cast bar?
enemies don't always have cast bars
^
"X coming soon"
not all mechanics resolve at the point of the castbar
^^
Also I'm on primal excalibur I believe and I have gotten queue times should I be concerned or move to another server and if so any recommendations
Ques are cross server
almost all servers have queues nowadays
All the instanced stuff anyway
So server choice doesn't matter
I think they mean login queues
Well that's just normal then
yep
They aren't too bad usually
Cool wanted to make sure
I remember working on my anima weapon is that still a pain to get
Just for looks
login queues generally last no longer than 15 seconds
I was in the step to get king crabs cake or something like that
No
just pick whatever looks best to you
as a dps? it can
Not really, dps can take abit
It pops eventually
Usually no longwr than like 20mins or so
if it helps, SE learned their lesson after HW and stopped gating jobs behind MSQ progress
I mean, technically they still are gated
they're not gated by msq progress
well behind owning the expansions, yeah
is there like a LFG discord or something? and can free trial users join?
Just que for it
^
you shouldn't need to do anything other than queue up and wait
ahhh okieess
All story stuff are in roulettes so it pops eventually
ou got a queue popup after that
it is the middle fo a work/school day if you're on NA servers so it might take a bit
tyyy!
or not 🙂
I can't seem to find the quest to start the ShB hunt 🤔
how long does it take to recieve something from mog station
ngl here but
dk looks way better for tanking than warrior they have so much AOE or am I wrong
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 30? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Dark Knights how to Dark Knight properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too ...
the tanks are all fine and aren't really noticeably better than one another in dungeon content
o
with the exception of maybe warrior being able to tank without a healer at later levels efficiently
No one answered my question
the amount of aoe damage is about the same
do dps classes generate potancy?
there are some discords related to it but more generally to the things like eureka BA as well. so check #resources for the ones related to your data center.
you could probabyl also check the ERC, though i'm not totally sure they have DRS recruitment there
Potency is damage
Or the least, a simple way to see the respective strength of a skill
cus my tank skills says generate potancy
Enmity
do only tanks do that or other classes
Enmity is aggro
all jobs have spells that have potency on them
ah
thats just the number scaling of how much they output
All action generate aggro. Tanks just have a massive multipler to it on their tank stance
does anyone know where the anima relic quests are in the unending journey?

holy shit i watched a video said some raids theres 3 tanks
anyone know how to solo nael dues darnus
those are alliance raids which are 24 person casual content
time your burst to kill her before she does the orbs, or invuln through them as you burst
the way to correctly solve that mechanic is to alternate orb elements
dark knights use lots of mana? will mana be a problem or what like do you need lots of mana potions/
orbs???
but since she does ice ice fire fire you can't live unless you kill her before that
phase 2
mana is not a problem your basic combo regenerates mana and you have a lot of skills that give mana back
oh thank god
mana potions aren't a solid choice for you anyways
place them far apart from each other
like 1/3 of the arena apart
kill the golems
how close should i go
Is it normal to be level 35 and not being able to train into summoner yet? I have done msq only but im only at level 20 on my msq path.
!faq 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.
its normal to be overleveled
basically to place them more safely be out closer to the edge of the arena and drop them about 1/3 of the way around apart
And will there be a big bump into char power/progression going from 35+ to level 1 summoner?
and then drop on the inner edge too
you don't revert to lv1 when you become summoner
you'll be the same lvl as a summoner
you're going to be lv35
Is there an option to hide your head gear on cutscenes ?
Do ephemeral nodes not work the same as unspoiled nodes? The wiki page listed a node at Coerthas W X21 Y28 from 8pm-12 and I am here but no node
just in the cutscene? probably not
ephemeral nodes have all been moved to fixed sets of locations now
@little swift can i upgrade my trial version to the full version and get that yellow mount or is it strictly comandations
the wiki might outdated
Is that not a fixed location?
the location might be different now since they're sets of nodes that respawn continually now during its up duration
the parade chocobo? thats specifically the 3k commends
Hm ok I’ll hunt around for updated info
feelsbad
There was a way to move up and down the camera from the HUD layout , which keys do you press?
control up and down iirc
No no thats not it
question about keybindings. I'm on PC, using keyboard and mouse. I'm just returning to play, new pc setup so I'm having to rebind everything. What is the default numpad 0 called? And where is it located in the kebindings? I want to rebind it to shift + space
Why’d one join a free company?
make friends
Is there like a universal chat ? Trade chat or LFG chat where you don’t have to be in one’s proximity to see it
yep
. /yell is the entire map youre on
that's /shout not yell
Anyone know what the default targeting is called for numpad 0? I only see 1 button default to numpad zero and that's Keybindings>system > 'Confirm' How come that button targets the closest object/npc if it's just, 'confirm'?
@leaden ginkgo They made a party recruitment thread in the game. And you can edit the description to whatever you want it
Party finder > create party, or find party. People use it for laughs sometimes late at night. Lots of lala puns
Or for trade offers/requests. Or party requests ect
Thank you so much @wispy totem
question. do the endgame activities (dungeons, raids, trials) have weekly loot locks?
yes

do i need any expansions to unlock samurai
Yes, Stormblood
What is the general loot rules for things? Need on upgrades and greed on everything else or pass on all non-needs?
need if you can and if you want it
Honestly, there is hardly any unofficial etiquette aside from what the buttons are meant for
Need for if you want something, greed if you'd take it if nobody else will and pass if you don't want something
And yeah, you can only need if you can actually use something in the first place.
Ok. I’ve just been greeding on everything that wasn’t a upgrade unless it said I already had one then I would pass.
hi guys for reputation its 3 quest per day for each faction?
like stormblood 3 quest-> shadowbringer 3 quest
etc
each beast tribe gives 3 quests daily
thank you!
Can you get the mog esoterics if you do the duty roullete?
if you get an instance that gives moogle tomestones, yes
when is patch 5.5 going to hit?
April 13th
what's the most populated server on Primal?
hyperion going by the lucky bancho censuses irc but it really doesnt matter cause of world visit and stuff like duty finder/party finder is cross world visit
yeah I was just curious which one would have the highest cluster of players
even things like Ultros?
considering whom normally stay there
^
thats largely irrelevant anecdotal evidence
you're missing the point
that server had a large amount of image board users, generally and it also has neogaf probably wouldn't be as popular as the other ones
I'm just asking about the largest cluster of players
we answered that, and we also said the difference is fairly minimal on most servers
this kind of information is largely unverifiable anyways
^
because the way luckybancho categorizes what they consider players
even the luckybancho census which is the best info we got, is still ancedotal
isn't representative of the whole populus
so unless SE releases actual numbers, we only got that to go off of + other guesses
well if all the numbers are remotely even than the question got answered
and you can honestly survey or ask around to see what would be what kind of community
yes rmt
theres communities within servers, not just one
the communities are basically the same because of world visit
Hey, would like to create a character on a overpopulated server, the character creation isn't available yet. When should I be able to create one ?
!faq serverlock
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.
try an off hour
Why doesn't SE crack down on these kind of posts. I personally know 3 people that fell for this
On the EU data centers you have some worlds that unofficially "belong" to one language or another. But that's obviously not enforced, that's just people who speak the same language trying to play together
they do
@little swift @silver ruin ok thanks 😄
yeah, EU had some french servers and commonly known RP servers.
na has more commonly known rp servers(balmung mostly) but the community for rp is active everywhere
@tropic frigate sorry going to have to detele that image. We don't want to phishing links here to draw attention or crowds to them. But hopefully you got your question answered
Yes I reported the person, no problem
because there's punishment linked to it, hence why I asked
do trials have access to the PF?
they do. its just people aren't thinking critically about links they click and they punish themselves
can join but not make
Everything can be done via PF
they cant make a PF but they can join one
oh... those trials
yea, free trial
but is it possible for those people to get their accounts back if they're hacked?
correct
yup
@tropic frigate yes
do they influence the marketboard in anyway?
trial accounts?
ye
No
they cant use the mb
Someone can create a party for them and then leave btw
That works
As long as they stay in the party it's fine
I wonder if they penalize people who do that
No
RMT accounts dont interact with people besides like whispers and /say
There's no way for trial people to give gil to people
I mean they do take actions but it's almost impossible to stamp out
oh okay it kinda closes the PF for them?
no they wouldnt have a PF in the first place
Trials accounts can't initiate or accept item trades
because that would require interacting with a paid player and talking to them
which they cant do because theyre bots
when Shadowbringers hit, we had a huge bot issue on EU
a lot of them were teleporting and glitching ontop of walls in Ul'dah
a GM even ended up sending me to jail thinking I was somehow related to RMT
na still has a huge bot issue in regards to rmt
when all I had done was do Eureka for hours and hours before echo nerf
how did they overcome this?
did their anti cheat get better?
the bot problem partially had to do with the twitch prime starter game codes
that came out before shb release
oh
at that point in time that was probably the farthest a bot could go into
which meant they could spam lv50 dungeons for gil
is that why the price of demis went down?
this happened like twice overall in the game's lifespan right?
there's a patch note on it
that's kinda crazy was my lazy way of getting rid of poetics
unidentified stuff for soils is still a fine alternative
are there overall less crafters on NA than EU?
I see a loooot of things on Excalibur going for dummy amounts
when you could like do an unsync for a minute and make like 200k-500k
I’m not sure I’d say less, but people seem inherently more greedy on selling stuff high
continues to sell glamour item at 10000% profit
it's the price you pay for convenience
always remember to tip your friendly merchant
I mean you can buy the racial starting gear for almost nothing yet you still find it for 10-20k and maybe even more on the MB
people are just lazy
use ||
lotta people wipe their ass with 10k
I also notice a trend on things like || heroes gauntlet|| they have full 510, no gather, crafters, level boosted.
are they just straight up gil buyers??
a lot of them have sprouts.
did they come from WoW?
yeah but they have like nothing unlocked
Even just the story gil gets you a good amount
are those sets like 100k ea per piece?
you can make gil just fine without having crafting/gathering leveled
doing treasure maps, selling allegory crafting materials, etc
^ gil isnt used for much
Would this be a good channel for tech support?
fair enough
also very likely that if they're a sprout in lvl 80 dungeon, they're likely someone's alt
Ah thanks, missed that
is there a specific set of crafting mats?
Spirit ethers upwards from allegory
ah okay
Anyone know what this song that plays in the Triple Triad Battlehall is called? (I named the file battlehall.mp3 but I can't find what the song is actually called online)
Yep those
nice thank you gonna have something to use em on now
damn... i am having a hard time doing 11gcd under fof as a high latency player
any advice?

change classes or deal with it, not much you can do about latency
could try using a vpn
How high is your ping?
200+ i think
!faq datacenterip

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
If it is actually 200 then yeah that's not great. I play at 150 and that's already pushing the boundry on a couple jobs
😄 yea! aus internet is amazing
What is that sending/receiving thing in game then? Is that not ping data
nope
is there a blue mage channel?
200 is pretty high for Australia but yeah the infrastructure there isn't the best
You may wish to try a VPN (perhaps something like Mudfish with FastConnect)
Not much demand for a BLU-specific channel, but there’s a couple discord’s dedicated to them
can i have the most beginner friendly one
thank you
That's actually a question I can ask. Does mudfish have the security features typical VPNs do? Since I thought it worked a little differently
VPN is a bit of a misnomer for gaming VPNs
Wait can gaming vpns actually give u better ping?
hey guys. i was wondering where i can find a good hotbar guide and tips for dark knight? im not comftorable with the one im using now the standard one
If you're shopping for a traditional VPN you're generally shopping for security and I wouldn't trust any of these companies with that in the slightest.
The main benefits for gaming VPNs are different traffic routes (which is generally only useful if your ISP is having a routing problem), a few registry tweaks to your network adapters they do on the fly which you could do yourself, and some (like Mudfish's FastConnect feature) also mess with packet acknowledgement which can make games like FF14 feel a bit more responsive for skills
In general I usually put the combos together in order and the buffs in one section by type
Other than that use the balance discord
Maybe they can help
But the sales pitch most of them throw around of somehow providing a more direct route to gaming servers as if they're a backbone provider are mostly hot air
There's no such thing as a direct route in today's packet based connections
There's encrypted routes yes but direct connections are horribly inefficient in modern internet
I downloaded a skin via mod tool, where does it get stored in the game? :d
Unless you're running on dark fibre there's no such thing as a direct route lol
You should probably consult the website/Discord you got the tool from Malmo (:
what kind of tanking class is machinist?
(usually you import the texture packs into the tool and it modifies your game directory)
its not
none
its a ranged dps
MCH is DPS lol
ahhh
I need to buy starter or complete edition of FF to play astro right?
I think i got it and gunbreaker mixed up
can do it on the trial
but need to hit heavensward first
no, you can play Ast on the trial
I just got to heavensward
Ah ok. Thanks
trying to figure out how to become a dark knight now
Are you in the city Foundation
!faq hwjobs

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".

hi sparkle
map coordinates
not sure how to use them though
will Crafters Grace buff keep ticking while offline?
id assume so
whelp, there's my excuse to play for 18 hours straight ^_^
anyone? :d
we dont know, you'd be better off asking the modding discord
kk thanks
thanks
Which dungeons/raids are people spamming for the irregular tomestones?
I'm on the quest "knights to be proud" and i dont know how to get fortemps manor to speak with Artoriel
Praetorium is also quite popular (not as efficient but lazy) and Revival Wings (PvP) is good for irregular tomestones as well
you mean the one near foundation?
the one outside the house
4-5
Wow
