I figured it out. The issue is that I typed my email with capital letters at the start, and I wasn't supposed to apparently
Where can I find lvl 36 enemies
Aspiring crafter here, I need to know what's the most effective way to gear up as its significantly harder than gatherer gearing
I think, the southernest part of thanalan, where there's desert and an oasis
any difference beetween stone, wood ,composite in construction permit ? is that permit affect which wall or roof can be installed on my house ?
edited : nvm , i found it
There are definitely enemies that level in the shroud, and in noscea as well, but i'm not as familiar with these zones, i would say outer noscea and east forest but not sure
*south shroud actually
What do I do with bronze trimmed sacks
job quests for levelling gears; scrip gears as temp to work towards endgame gears
Go to the NPC next to the potd entrance and turn them in
They are basically loot boxes
assuming you also have the msq progress to get there, yea
I'm in post sb
Then sure
Is registering for a free trial account have always been this hard?
I have tried for 2 days and kept getting i2501 errors
Ehm, just noticed again the Limit Break bar on top left. How do I use this? xD
Anyone wanna help with download speeds? I have a VPN on, trying different regions, can't seem to break 2.19mb/s
By using the Limit Break skill
Which is under the General tab in your actions
Just be sure to know when to use it 😉
@glossy flare I'll look into that, thank you!
So the next patch is coming with a performance update? do we usually get those?
Not really, I suppose it's just because of the upcoming ps5 support
oh. maybe one day they can upgrade their shadows and give us better AA too
I doubt that tbh
And honestly, for as old as this game is both of those things look pretty decent
shadows look pretty bad and you can see a bunch of jags with the trees and foliage
I had to use a shader effect caled Gaussian blur to blur it out and make it look more smoother
Yeah but it's almost 8 years old at this point
And also an MMO, which tend to be on the bottom end as far as fancy goes
I'm not saying you're wrong, I've seen way better, but for what it is the game looks very decent
Just wait for ff17 
well if this game is planned to stay alive for as long as they plan I'm sure there is some plan to update their engine
and when I say plan. I mean as long as they can milk it
Not really a question, innit
Fair
tbh bungie did this for destiny in the newest update. they updated their engine to have more ads in an instance but also new lightings as well. but this is bungie where they put priority in the dumbest things.
they care more about their art than the rewards
Is there a way to prevent clicking on the screen removing your target?
I wish
Yes, it's in character config

@pure bough
Is there any way to move these duty actions?
since they sit right in the middle of my screen?
you should be able to drag the window away
What are some other good things to change in the settings menu? Like nits and bits that are good to turn on / off or rebind to a better key
off the top of anyones head*
What gear should I use for alt jobs?
Is it still Exarchic?
Non-melded, of course
Depends on how serious you are with alt jobs
savage expects exarchic
dungeons, alliance raids dont
Is pentamelded exarchic better than Cryptlurker?
i’ve been told there were few exceptions but usually, no
😮

Is the recruitment primal channel only for FC
you need to be in the specified level range to equip a weapon/armor in that range right? like i can’t equip a level 10 grimoire without being 10+?
yes
oki, thought so
item level is not the same as level btw
How i have the white character ?
No
Ty
Own shadowbringers
that shouldn't be the case. screenshot?
Chat settings > log colours
Yes in log filter
Yes
Log filter colours
In the chat settings
Yes
Just click the colour
You're changing the chat colour type
if I queue for a roulette and it ends after reset
does it count for the new reset
or the old one
New one
well let's hope this expert roulette can pop and finish within the next 18 minutes :^)
No one says that
Yes
In FFXIV you have the features the developers provide you, nothing more unless you get into modding it
WoW for example, you have developer-supported addons which can customise basically any aspect of the game
what are GCD tiers
Its more customizable than most other vanilla mmos, but other mmos are much easier to mod
Its the amount of skill/spell speed points you need to reduce your GCD by 0.01s. So to hit a 2.4s gcd I'll need X number of speed stat
Hi everyone
I’m new here amd brand new to FFXIV online
I joined last night
It’s really nice meeting you all

Can check the better ui mod and see if it does that
But most people don't find this to be an issue
https://github.com/skotlex/ffxiv-material-ui
This is the most well know ui mod
If you have any comments/concerns about the discord itself #discord-feedback
For the game itself, the official forums
Probably fit it under gameplay or new player help
its an element that affects your gameplay
hey all does anyone know if there is a web page wherwe i can see what all the mounts look like from the moogle event thing so i dont have to google each one to decide what i want, cheers

Meoni has a video on all the rewards on youtube
so where's the recommended spells list for masked carnivale for blu?
hey, whats the best way to farm 515 relic ? farming bozja or crystal tower raids ?
if you can get into castrum, that will reward you with 5 of the thingys needed for the step you would also run CT stuff
whereas doing LotA/ST/WoD would just reward you with 1
Newb here. Can I ask what is the most efficient way to grind the moogle tomestones for a character at level 50-ish?
oh didnt know that, I thought only crucial fight was giving that item
they changed it in a recent hotfix, castrum now gives a guaranteed 5 for clearing it
running msq roulette/praetorium and aurum vale seem to be the ones people are going for
ok thanks for the infos
Thank you!
Ps4 pro users
1080p or 4k mode you guys prefer?
What's the ilvl cap for ARR content, 130 or 135?
pretty sure you have to have an actual non-trial character to use the forums
130, with 135 weapon
Thxs, and for HW and SB?
270 and 400
In addition to the new forum design, the following changes have been made to the FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn official forum.
The forum design has been changed to an FFXIV: ARR-themed design.
- A smart phone version of the current design is planned to be implemented in the future.
Thread Creation and Forum Posts
The number o...
And weapon is +5 too?
yes khell
its like this for shb too
we're at 530 and 535 atm
whcih is expansion cap
Thxs
Where can I find eureka groups? Pagos is dead most of the time in chaos
hi, whats the other quest thats in crystarium?
i mean the one thats doable on each class
is it the role class?
Role quests
You need to finish at least one of them to complete the shadowbringers msq
I just changed my keybind and my tank never dies.
There is one quest for magical dps, physical dps, healer and tank
So, I was the problem
ah right. thanks
Which DoH do I need to level for melding?
is there any thats 1 time per class as well? i remembered someone saying thats only doable per class but i forgot which
Any
Only need 1 levelled to meld them all now
Which DoH do you recommend I level 1st?
They're all done a single time
There is 1 job quest at level 80 after completing the role quests, but it doesnt give anything
what gives most profit from the GC Material items converted to gil?
depends on market
is there an easier way to check then to write down and check all items on the market
a website
probably cordial or spiritbond potion
but not that much tbh
since gc seals are so easily obtainable, its mats aren't that rare
Mrd 5 arc 10 rog 5
All doh,dol are lv 15
all right thanks!
Msq is top priority
But do whatever you like
Story locks EVERYTHING
You dont need to rush msq, but you need to do it to unlock everything
Play it your way. The main point is, you're having fun.
just know you can't gather higher level stuff if you don't do enough msq to unlock more areas and gear
Nothing is missable
then you only have a small portion of the dol/doh jobs
only cul and fsh are from limsa
can i have more than one job for one character?
and i can switch between them right?
Yes

@twin delta yeah you must complete lv10 job quest to unlock changing to other jobs
where do i get Oasis Sarouel
the gold saucer
thanks
hey guys, when i am queuing up for a dungeon it looks players only on 1 world server i am or on all world servers?
all worlds
Everything on your data centre
Correct
Nows honestly the best time to clear potd 1-50
Potd lv 50 is easy
As it drops an item for the current relic quest it's popular atm even on the early floors
Inb4 we get a hoh step in 5.5
i mean lvl 50 is easy but randoms somehow manage to get hit by aoe and we are wiped
is royal city of rabanastre pretty hard in 2021?
oh good cause MTQ's video made it look really hard
Just people are fucking blind
Oh, yeah. Rabanastre's the easy one.
oh the other ones are hard?
There are a few bosses that raise the difficulty level in Orbonne.
haha
TG Cid and Ultima.
The people debuff is super real in Orbonne
Like the mechanics aren't hard
Just people dont do them
And then die
Yeah
Basically
Like, they get surprised when mechanics happen and they ignore them and die.
Gotta love the People Debuff
Although people also meme struggle with Ridorana's Construct 7 as well... because math is hard.
how do I know what world to pick?

!faq worldpick
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)
is preferred the recommended way to go through the story?
or is that for alt characters or something that just want to get to the max level as quickly as possible
Preferred servers will basically just give you an xp buff for all classes under level 70 until the buff expires (90 days after character creation OR when the server changes to standard status, whichever comes second)
Practically speaking, you don't need the preferred server buff to keep your level up to MSQ level.
since this is my first time going through the story I dont mind taking my time getting through the story so should I just go for a standard server?
It's your choice. If you have friends on a specific server, you should go there.
It's recommended for new players too. It gives you some room to keep up with MSQ requirements easily while also level another job if you want.
Otherwise, there's no reason not to choose a preferred server.
alright
Overleveling the MSQ level doesn't mean you skip it though.
is there a list to see what servers are preferred servers?
Yeah, without buying (with real money) a story skip potion, you can't actually skip any of the MSQ. You'll just overlevel it.
You can check the server status page. I don't think there's any compiled list of preferred servers though.
So crystal is the only NA datacenter that I can make new characters on a preferred server?
Is monk an evolution of pugilist or is it a separate class?
whm has benediction?
Yes
it's an evolution yeah
At which level does it happen
pug becomes mnk at 30
Oh
you need to do your job quests
Currently, yes. The "Creation of New Characters Unavailable" status on the others is temporary though.
But wasn’t stormblood at level 50 and monk came in stormblood?
no
Monk was in 2.0
Ohh okay
alright thanks
So it’s just lyse who became a monk
@leaden ginkgo ctrl + right click on map
But isn’t monk an evolved pugilist?
but npcs don't strictly follow player rules when it comes to jobs anyway
She’s not a monk?
Okay
NPC characters don't have to play by player job rules
Right
wym waypoint then
guys would this macro work for making a one button resurrect that can be used with all classes?
/macroerror off
/ac Resurrection <t>
/ac Ascend <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Verraise <t>
/micon Resurrection
dont do that
still tho, she's not a monk. she hasn't trained to be one
Party menu > waymarks
then I'd just use their specific skils instead of a macro
you cant
there's nothing like BDO's auto pathing systenm
where it gives you indicator to follow to your destination
Can I get ydas stormblood attire? Not the scion liberator one but the ala mhigan one
no
no
The mini map points you in the direction if you're in the same area as it
Probably eventually...they've been very very slowly added npc stuff
Like kriles and the twins
Like very slowly
it likely wouldnt be dyeable
the msq doesnt usually send you farther than a zone away
except when youve been to the area before so you can just teleport
How do I get past story dungeons that no one does? trying to do Whorleater with Levaiathan and I'm currently at a 49 minute queue. Literally cannot progress.
Whats the fastest DoH to level so that i can meld materia on my gear?
Hard. Just trying to get to the first expansion
no
Theyre all about the same@brisk rock
there isn't a normal version of those fights
your character level is your job level
thanks a bunch
hard is the normal
na is currently not on primetime at the moment, so you may have to wait a sec
Then play a different job
yeah, that, it's 1:30pm on a friday
then you would have to make a new character
if you mean a mog station item then its stuck on that character
for gil you need a third person to transfer it
I was afraid of that. Guess that's all I can do. Thanks.
@lament violet you can make a PF and put "first time bonus" in the description
Sorry, but whats a PF?
Literally just found a match an hour in. But where can I find the PF for future reference?
under the party menu
thanks a lot!
To clarify a little on why we don't recommend doing multi-ability macros like that there are a few reasons.
The first is that macros like that are prone to skipping or cancelling entirely because the game reads each line individually and sequentially, so basically it would be like you having all four skills on your bar (regardless of whether the job could use them), and manually going down the list until you hit the one you could cast. You wouldn't be able to move or do anything else until the cast finished executing.
Second, macroing multiple spells together in general, even if they're on the same class, will lose gcds (again related to how the game reads macros).
Is there a big difference between pugilist and rogue? They seem similar to me
Melee dps classes are relatively similar in concept before level 30, relying on just rolling simple combos.
ninja has 3 positionals and uses mudra to make different attacks and monk has 6 positionals and flip flops between 2 combos
Once you hit 30 and change to their jobs, they start getting more individuality.
the one punches, and the other one is who use a dagger
if you like moving around too much and a faster gcd go for monk
monk doesnt move around that much
🤷
Yeah, positionals aside, MNK is actually a pretty stable dps. You have to move more as DRG than as MNK.
And DRG has fewer positionals.
Are tanks supposed to immediately sprint off as soon as the round start and pull mobs? Then take heavy amounts of damage while the rest of us 3 is still far behind
use sprint
Well... no
Yes sprint is a defensive cooldown
But it's not uncommon for the tank to just sprint and pull
Keep up with them
If the tank pops sprint, you should too.
Drop a regen on them and keep up
Unless you know you have another way to keep up or trust them to survive until you can catch up otherwise.
Sprint is 20s long out of combat thats 20 seconds of them outrunning mobs
If they do that they probably want to do wall to wall pulls where sprint helps you to not get hit by the mobs following them
If you're not comfortable with that (though you should get comfortable with it), then tell them
It was one dungeon where the tank pulled mobs but didn't pull all of them
So the rest aggro onto me.
Didn't pull, or didn't aggro?
Because most packs pull once you aggro even one of them.
It was the one with the Flying eye guy
Dzemael Darkhold
Yeah
If they aggro to you run them to the tank
"Pull" and "aggro" are two different concepts as well. "Pull" just means "got their attention" while "aggro" means "made sure they were focused on the tank"
The tank clearly isn't aoeing to scoop them up but thats what you do in response
Alternatively you can wait with damaging until you settle into whatever position the tank decides is for spamming aoe on the packs
But yeah if they miss mobs on the way that is on them
Regen draws aggro too
That's probably why
This is a tank error if they don't aoe
There are also some packs that are simply skippable in some dungeons. I don't recall off the top of my head if there are any packs like that in Dzemael.
What are player commendations? I keep getting them but unsure what it means
Usually the tank is in another room while the rest of us 3 sprinting to catch up
It just means someone gave you a like, essentially
it means another player thinks you did a good job
Oh I see, cool! Thanks
Oh
Everyone can commend one player at the end of an instance.
If you get comms, that means you did good.
👀 I would get 2-3 a game
Or they liked your name/glamour.
Commends are a requirement to become a combat mentor and have some achievements (and thus swag) attached to them
But other than that they have 0 worth
they unlock achievements
you need to sprint from the start and keep up way more, but likewise the tank needs to learn not to line of sight you
Well if they unlock achievements then good! I would do my best regardless but getting "likes" for it as well to help along the way is a great thing.
they don't really mean much
It's a nice way of appreciating people at least but they don't mean much
Many people just commend someone
how people determine who to commend isn't really representative of anything
Most of the time I tend to just commend whoever says hi back
Well, again, if it unlocks achievements then that's at least something to strive for, if not to simply be helpful to others.
Usually its a tank, healer or whoever is the last person inside
lol
I mean there is a mount for 3k commends
I just concluded that I am never doing that specific dungeon again. That one was a headache. All the other dungeons were easy. But 90% of the time, the tank would just sprint off before I pop a regen. I'm guessing the reason is because of the boss?
I'll comm dps who prove they're not braindead.
But that's a lot of commends
@olive totem thats a tank problem
You can tell a tank they are going faster than you are comfortable with
No shame in that
Of course the goal should be to get faster as well but everyone's gotta start somewhere
I would have to pop one when I see him and they'll be low hp. So, I ending up using dignity instead
Most tanks will respond positively if you ask them to pull a little slower or otherwise let the party wipe on something that they seemed to think should have been simple.
Exactly, tanks are not universal assholes 😄
Every now and then you'll the elitist type or the type who ignores chat, but those are generally rare.
I also often find it worthwhile to remind tanks when the dungeon we're in is synced below the level of my instant cast healing.
I wonder if I can show a light party dungeon video here. I don't know if it'll count as a self advertisement. I just want to see what I'm doing wrong
As long as you're asking a question, it's fine.
If it's from Twitch just make it a clip.
its fine to show recordings and such if its relevant to the question or helps supplement it
self-advertising would be more along the lines

Hi all looking for a wee bit of help. My pal has purchased the PS4 complete edition on disk. He has been playing the downloaded free trial version, but is having problems getting the disk version to run. Does anyone know of any fixes? Does he need to delete the free trial version from his PS4 first in order to play the disk version?
as far as i know even with a disc version he has to register the license to his mogstation account
Like I don't know if I'm moving too slow here or using the right skills at the right time.
He’s managed to successfully register the disk version to his account
Yeah, the disc should have come with a code to enter on the mogstation in the case.
But it still won’t let him run it x
Well, first off, that's Brayflox, and that dungeon sucks for healers @olive totem
Don't slow down until the pull stops moving
you used benefic 2 and then dignity which overhealed
Theres a lot of standing for casts
Second, why are you only using your cards on yourself?
Instead of popping a regen and running with your tank/party

You used Helios when nobody actually needed healing.
youre on diurnal so just putting the aspected regen on tank is fine
Twice in a row.
When I say keep up, I mean basically next to or behind the tank
You need to be able to see the rivets that hold their armor together
:0
and dont reapply aspected benefic when the tank already has it and is only at 80% health
if theyre at 80% theyre fine
leave them
keep attacking
Were not going to pick specifics of skill usage for now
The biggest thing is
Keep up
^
I got a lot of work to do then xD
Sprint is your friend
Nitpicking skill usage here isn't the root of the problem they need to fix right now
Of course I don't disagree with the suggestions but
during big pulls i heal the tank at 50% unless theyre dropping real fast
If no one is dying let's fix the foremost issue
As soon as you load in select your sect and draw a card
Then when barrier drop regen and follow your tank closely
Combust stuff but don't malefic it
Yeah, the big thing to remember is that if the tank is moving, you should also be moving.
The rest is just class details.
also please use the cards on dps
I do. I just don't know why I did it there.
Idk why I used them on myself in this video
Hey guys, where can I find accessories for lvl 60 crafter? I don't have enough PS, + you guys have a macro for lvl 60 Ishgard crafts? struggling atm
Yellow scrip stuff in Idyllshire
There should be macros pinned in the #doh-dol-lounge
But thanks for the advice. It's my second day playing ast so I'm getting used to them
I saw someone sitting on a white-ish sphere like a mount. How'd you get that one?
Reminded me of Ozma
It is ozma
Ozma mount from BA
Its demi omza
Holy shit how how how
Eureka raid.
56man raid
Lv70 content for the relic weapon
You need a group, and you need to do Eureka.
It's very tough content
I see, I'm a bit far off for that. Something to look forward to I guess
Its achievement so if you complete and weren't dead you get it
So basically clear that particular quest without dying?
Its a whole raid
Its a 56 person instance
yeah
So how do I stop a tank's hp from dropping fast?
and it has limited amount of rezzes
Pray they use defensive cooldowns
Tell them to use defensive cooldowns
And that their gear isn't shit
if theyre pulling w2w then its likely that their hp is going to drop fast anyway
Its their job to mitigate damage
for some dungeons
Because when I do use dignity at low hp, it's never enough
So I have to heal them more
I've never been in a raid. Gonna get through MSQ first then and start gearing up!
dignity at low hp will get them to like 70% health or something
Well at the level you're at you can't avoid gcd healing
The tank has to do their job aa well
if their health is at 70% and they almost die in like 5 seconds then it sounds like theyre not using defensives or their gear sucks
if they're dropping that fast its not your fault
They have to use defensive cooldowns
At 44 tanks have access to both their long cooldowns
So, it maybe why I was overhealing. Because at that point, it becomes a habit
Rampart and sentinel/vengeance/nebula/shadow wall
As well as arm's length reprisal and low blow
They need to make use of those tools
you should be paying attention to their health and the amount of enemies they pulled
and not overheal
Maybe I should play tank because I'm shit at healing correctly xD
when you play healer a lot you learn to eyeball these things
it just comes with experience
In all mmos I've played lots of support classes but there a huge learning curve in this game. But, it's fun
It does help to try other roles to know what they can do at various level ranges and how that can help.you play things you like
playing other classes does give you huge insight into how to work with them
I might try dark knight
I mean, AST is also the middling-complexity healer of the three right now.
With WHM being much easier, and SCH being somewhat harder.
you dont
you can't, it's something you turn in
you trade it for augmented bozja gear
^
or sell it on the mb for big bucks
Is augmented Bozja gear 515 or 520
Ah
It just makes it dyable
is the UFO quest worth doing ?
UFO quest?
ok thanks
What is the track that plays during the Final Steps of Faith?
the first one, as there is also a second track that is the same as the track that plays in the final boss of the Aery fight
You mean Dragonsong?
What are the Final Steps of Faith
3.3 trial
oh
The climax fight to Heavensward
Yes that is the one
Will it be the first time I hear Dragonsong
Think you hear it sooner
No, you hear it throughout HW
dragonsong is in the HW trailer
Like the opening cutscene to HW
and its a leitmotif throughout HW
What expansion gives machinist?
Learning how to heal on a controller should I have Auto facing off or on

Heavensward
Okay
@agile swallow on
Every edition of FFXIV includes Heavensward but Machinist, Astrologian and Dark Knight are locked until you actually reach Heavensward
Which is the quest 'Coming to Ishgard'
Does Auto facing affect how you deal with visual attacks (attacks that require you to look away from the enemy)?
yes
On because your heals and shields (if you have any) require you to have an open line-of-sight to your target
If you turn off auto facing you have to manually turn towards the enemy or boss before you can start casting
I thought heals could be cast in any direction
no
nope
Only AoE ones
AoE heals yes
The rest still face their target
Targeted heals nope
Not true I'm testing it right now I have my back turned towards somebody and I'm healing them with a cure spell
It's attack spells that require you to face the target
is your character facing them
No my back is turned towards them
If you have auto facing on your character is going to turn their head
Pic?
^
It only applies when the target is the enemy
Or maybe a short video to show idk
I turned off auto facing my character did not budge I'm targeting somebody and I can still heal them with a single Target spell
you can still heal someone with your back to them
Healing spells dont require you to be looking at your target to go thru
I asked about Auto facing because of the damage dealing aspect I wasn't concerned about the healing aspect I already knew that you can heal anybody in any direction as long as they are not obscured by Terrain
Then why would you specifically mention healer if you weren't asking about the healing part
Because healers also do damage lol
I wouldn't recommend turning off the auto facing tho
you need to be facing your target to attack them regardless of class
yeah dont turn it off
It's horrible for any dps class because if you are not facing the enemy your weaponskills doesn't trigger
What is that blue thing on the ledge there? Is it a special aether current?
sightseeing log
Sightseeing log
its a sight seeing vista
It's a Vista
Ah ok. Thank you
Which is also why I further asked if Auto facing affects visiual attacks. If I have to pop a heal while an enemy is using something I'm not supposed to look at and I end up automatically turning towards that line of sight then I could be all kinds of screwed. Is this correct?
doesnt really affect it since you can just turn your character away
Regardless how
It's basically like points where you do a certain emote and the place is registered in your sightseeing log
For enemies with skills that require you to look at them in order for the skill to take effect do you turn your camera away or do you physically turn your character away from them
its realistically not that much of an issue because again the heal with go thru regardless of whether you are facing them or not. your heal also won't be cancelled if you turn away
@dire prawn wym
turning my camera turns my character
on the control scheme i have
you have to physically turn your character from the enemy to dodge the attack
oh
is there a LFP channel on this discord
seems only for FC
Nope
Its for static recruitment and community finding as well
Just because mostly fcs use it doesn't mean thats its only purpose
does anyone use teamcraft to make macros? im tryingh to figure it out but it's a bit confusing
Depending on what you're trying to make macros for most people are going to tell you not to use them
im trying to make ishgardian restoration stuff
umm i guess i just don't undersatnd how to get the actual macro? im on this page
which i.. think? is the right page
i put my stats but i dont undestand the recipe stuff
Then you scroll down and all the available skills you can use
where do i find the stats of the recipe?
Click crafting simulator and it should pop up a window that let's you type a recipe name in
oh okay
i try that now, ty!
i kinda have it down, but im confused at how i actually find the macro for it?
i have my stats in and everything now
xiv button
you didnt put in any skills to macro then lol
oooh i click on the skills that i would normally use?
i tyhought it made the most efficient macro based on what i have at the time
no it doesn't do that
gotcha, sorry
We have some pinned in #doh-dol-lounge
do i need to put in the rotation in the order as how i usually do it? or just the things that i use
Yes you would do it as though you were actually crafting the item
okay gotcha
yes a rotation implies order
recommended ilvl to heal doma castle?
min ilvl is 255, im in full shire and struggling lol, have to cast the gcds
Check if your tank is using defensive cooldowns
you have to cast gcd heals yeh
you should have replaced some shire with msq gear by then
dungeon gear
have some pieces, ilvl is technically 271
i outleveled bardam's quickly somehow
when's the best time to use earthly star?
before people take damage
you need to be casting gcd heals anyway
you missing out one gcd of dps is better than tank pulling one mob at a time
i mainly just use benefic II / aspected helios for the gcd
Does anyone know why I cant buy Stormblood? I can only find it as part of the complete edition but I already own some DLC so I am not sure I want to spend all that $ for 1 dlc pack
Because its bundled with Shadowbringers

So I just hit sworn with the ananta, finished the quest, and now eshana isn't giving me 3 more? what gives?
as an arcanist, when do i get my first aoe/daily power?
Techincally with with Egi assault 1
ah rip, at least i got an elephant mount
damn
How do I assign LB to its own button in the hud?
and as for the daily? (or ultra or whatever you wanna call it, i’m assuming there is one)
Action and traits > general
roulette, I think?
hes talking about a skill
oh
I guess they mean a skill you can only use once a day? Doesn’t exist btw
Can I change the picture frame size so that it could fit my phone
Like only a tile
In /gpose
is it better to Run Delubrum over and over or PotD for the Timeworn Artifacts?
may i ask , why buy a base game when u when u can play till 60 for free, what banefit if i buy just the base game other than i can use MB
Removal of trial limitations
also you need to own the base game in order to use expansion codes
so you are going to have to buy it in some form, whether thru buying the starter edition itself or thru complete editionm
yes drn is faster if you have 23 other people playing ideally and using essences etc making <20 min runs
drn is not faster if you are going into duty finder doing average 40-50 minute runs with random people half of which are semi afk
im not planing to buy expension coz i just wan another account for my kids , so the limitation is MB and maybe housing if i din get shb?
buying shb now is not a good idea coz EW is out soon
the limitation is that you can only play half the story
And gil cap
endwalker isnt out for another 6+ months
ew is like still 5mos away
yea i will have to buy EW if i buy shb now , that cost another $39 , im thinking if my kids like it , ill buy it when EW is live
should you do side quests or only do msq quests
Yellow ones are ignorable
Where are you within the game
When I initially started the game I did some of the side quests
Are there any mining nodes I can farm for yellow scrips that aren't on timers?
But they become pretty irrelevant the further you go in
im lvl 30
@radiant canyon yes, the gathering log will indicate whether the item is a timed node or not
Do I have to be at least level 20 to do command missions?
Because I'm trying to level up a DPS class, but nothing is gonna be available until 15 or so.
yes, the first dungeon available for command missions is halatali
hi! I am in great need of unloading approved grade 4 materials but I don't know where to turn them in. just getting into this bit of the game and I don't want to craft more before I turn these in. please point me in some direction? thank you so much!
right next to the diadem guy
oooh ok so I'm blind. thanks again!

Hello, I want to start putting materias on my gear. I'm running with Recollection Weapon + i490 gear (crystarium) on my both classes (RDM/DRK), which materias should I choose for each gear?
even on DRK?
Yes, though drk wants some skill speed to get to around 2.38-2.4s gcd
okay thanks!
what's a quick and effective way to level if I need 3 levels for my next story quest?
Do your daily roulettes then highest level dungeon spam
can I queue for rival wings as one class, play as another and still get xp for the one I queued as?
I heard something along those lines
Im stuck on msq because I have to do an old lvl 50, 24 man raid
can I solo it at 80?
No
SHAZBOT
this quest has to be bugged
He's below you
OH LMAO
should I care about having the proper stats on items or just equip whatever with the highest ilvl for now
omg ive been looking for him for 1 hour lol
Ilvl...substats only matter at cap
What is this red frowning symbol I'm seeing
Busy
You can't trade with them, possible whisper as well, but not sure
Thank you! Makes sense 🙂
Does the Heat of Battle xp buff from a FC apply inside of dungeons and other instances where the majority of the xp gain is from killing the mobs
what's the earliest level can go from say noscea to shroud?
got a guy who's stuck in noscea and wants to go to wedding but level 1
Heyy I have a problem for about 2 days now. Lemme explain real quick:
- I live in the middle of Germany
- My internet connection is stable, a ping to Google USA has a latency of 5 to 6 ms
- My FF14 client connects to one of the Light servers. IP: 195.82.50.55
- The latency to this server is fricking 140+ ms for me
- It's only 30ms for a friend in the UK
- I am not using a VPN
- This high latency is only sometimes.. about 3 hours ago everything was fine
- I tried restarting the client multiple times but I keep getting connected to the same IP with the same bad latency
Any idea on how to solve that problem?
It applies to all kills
Doesn't have to be an instance
But it does work in them
What about the Well Rested buff?
Same deal
@spark cradle needs to get to lvl 15 in the story
wtf how do you get 5-6ms ping to USA but 30ms for uk?
alrightt sad to hear, i swear i had a friend who got stuck in one location after travelling to another
is it level 15 for the ferries?
A friend of mine has tried to ping the server my client connects to. He's from the UK
god knows wth my old friend did
but yeah trying to get dude to wedding with a full server
you pinged this ip right? 195.82.50.9
if they can join a fc with a house in the lavender beds, could teleport to the fc house
and exit that way to get to the wedding chapel
wait can you give the route?
The Windows Resource Monitor shows this IP for the ffxiv_dx11.exe: 195.82.50.55
Two TCP connections
I tried pinging that
!faq serverip

Rip
how is it linked to lavender?
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe

Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
lavender beds is in the shroud
so just exit to either central shroud/gridania and then head to east shroud
100 ms xD
No
you're not restricted from teleporting to your free company's house
or a friend's doesn't even need to be an fc house
but then how does that allow you into rest of shroud
But then this
but at level 1
the only reason why limsa is blocked is because its literally an island
wait wtf
sounds like a route is broken
so the only way off of it is either: have airship access or be able to teleport to a house in the goblet/lavender beds
do a tracert
why is noscea such shit design
a lv 1 can technically run from gridania to ul'dah/visa versa because none of the ARR zones are blocked like the expansion ones (barring limsa for reason i stated)
assuming you dont get killed by the high lvl mobs along the way
11 hops
yeah was trying to take them via a 2 seater because my friend managed to walk from thanalan to shroud
i actually don't g et why noscea is level locked
story
its an island
really weird inconvenience
most people aren't going to run into this issues
if you want to be lvl 1 and participate in a wedding, most people will start in gridania
use the normal tracert command, more detailed
yeah i think person just didn't know

i find it odd that the ferries are also locked
story
@alpine shadow
Is there a way to hotkey an "interact" action?
@twilit arch so at level 1 they get teleport access?
so long as you've attuned to an aetheryte, you can teleport
you get teleport access when you attune to your first aetheryte
How the heck do I change my placard?
but don't need to attune to goblet?
yeah, in residential areas you get every aethernet node from the get-go
no way to attune to the housing areas, so yeah
Just unlocked my first Raid! Alliances with 24 people, hot damn. Anything specific I should think about here? Or just do what I do best; kill things?
so long as the house has a mini aetheryte, and the owner has given teleport access
you cant directly tp to residential areas tho
then you can teleport to the house
Dont stand in bad, follow your party
without that aetherite yeah
Move with the group, and if everyone is suddenly doing something, like moving to a specific spot, or hiding behind something, follow them.
4 people on the switch
So it's like when fighting Garuda and standing behind pillar, or Modgardsormr and standing in the shielded area. Stuff like that?
But seriously, you're grouped in a subgroup of 8 so it's not too bad to manage
so for the castrum dungeon i need an avg gear level of 42, im level 50 ninja. how do i get better gear past lvl 50
Mention it's your first time and people normally are nicer about putting way markers and stuff down in the Crystal Tower riads.
Ok thanks guys, I'll give it a go!
ironworks gear
i did all my job quests for ninja
i know it might be an odd question but anyone knows if the sound of the dragons spawning in quickmarch trio is under "master volume, sound effect, system sounds, ambient sounds"?
Did you open the coffer it gave you?
maybe
@alpine shadow Soooo, any idea what I can do?
let me check
not sure
It should be a set of slightly better Ninja gear
I think it just gets stupidly slow at some point after my ISP
Similar to the level 45 ilevel 50 gear you got on the second to last quest
I can't see it being possible to have all blue on this mission, any clue???
ok i did it lol now im 55 haha thank you
No prob, enjoy!
What's the name of the quest that has you do Brayflox's Longstop
If it's one of the flagged ones, you might need to play around with training depending on your team or just level up a tad more, you're not too far off
The Things We Do for Cheese @dire prawn
I lucked into one of the passive that boosts one stat so it was easier for me
@pseudo quartz does leveling your characters make that cap higher?
can you do old dungeons with the "bots"? like the dungeons in ShB with uriange and friends
Your squadrons stats will go up
they are only for ShB dungeons
Command missions with your gc
^ you can do that though
But, it's limited
what are command missions
yeah it's only for select dungeons
it's a GC thing where you can do dungeons with your adventurer squadron NPCs
Gotta get to second lieutenant for it
ah i see
The endgame to command missions are pretty much a weekly reward of a choice of timed exp bonus items, discounted aetherytes for an hour and other minor buffs like that
It’s an okay daily source of yellow scrips/MGP/Gil/GC seals if you get the chemistries for it
Er, squadrons, I mean
Yeah, I got two people with scrips bonuses which is nice as I am working on my first anima weapon
Crystal sand step.
those rewards sound underwhelming lol
Do exp bonuses apply in Bozjas?
No
is there an option that allows me to see buffs i have on, ?
theyre under enhancements and other
You can also enable the party menu to be shown while by yourself.
That should be in the UI section of the character config
Question about housing: I’m marrying on Sunday on moogle and I saw nice house on Spriggan, if I transfer now to Spriggan can I still get married? Transfer between worlds before getting married will affect anything?
You need to be on the same server to marry
Oh.... it’s because we have done all the quests together before right?
its just a part of the wedding system
people cant attend weddings on other servers either
Do it you get a first time buff for dungeons when it's your first time overall or first time in a class?
overall
Roger, roger.
Less a legit question, but is it obvious from the front that the aquarium "hangs out" on the back side of the stall?
It looks good to me
not from this angle at least
does the bloodbath + double edge logogram combo only work well on warrior?
because of the warrior reflect defense ability?
is there a way to tell the difference between one time hand in levequests and the ones where you get to hand in 4x the amount for only one allowance?
The leve plate/design in the top right corner of the journal
Multi turn in leves have the same plate
Ah, okay thanks :)!

Talk to her
can you send a screenshot of your whole screen
Or do what she says
Are the mounts from the level 80 versions of the ARR Extreme trials the same as the normal level 50 ones?
No
same model but different effects
Same or different music?
hey so i've been getting a friend of mine into the game. because she doesn't play that much each day but DOES enjoy the daily dungeon roulette she's already WHM 35 while her MSQ is still only like level 22 (somewhere in the sylph arc). At this rate she's probably going to hit 50 before reaching Titan lol. the ARR story hasn't really hooked her but she loves dragons and would really enjoy HW so I have a couple questions about the story skip.
If our goal is to quickly get to HW then slow down to properly enjoy the game, is her best option to continue MSQ and daily roulette until 50 then get the skip so she can take advantage of msq xp rewards to reach 50? or should we grab the skip earlier to immediately unlock higher level dungeons etc that would normally be gated behind MSQ progress?
I mean she won't understand anything in HW if she doesn't play ARR
Honestly it's better for her to power through ARR (without skipping cutscenes).
Pecopeco?
the chocobo? you earn it in the main story quest
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
there is no mount named pecopeco unless thats like a translation
there's no final fantasy where chocobos are named pecopecos
different game
yea that's ragnarok online lmao
what does this mean
your connection might have had a hiccup while trying to obtain that data
it shouldn't affect your ability to log in though
yeah it didnt weird tho
How do I make ñ on a name?
you cant put accents on names
on a character name? i don't think those are allowed unfortunately
Dang that sucks😧
is there a guide on how to be a proper pom master for HoH?
tl;dr save em unless you need em, only spend to not overcap or die
I have already beaten Eureka and BA, but for the new players out there, how much Gil would you recommend having to comfortably do Eureka after you've unlocked it?
However much is needed to buy the fragments for the essences to mix into the needed eureka actions
And enough for a Kirin Osode/Vermillion Cloak
That’s not something you need for eureka
It’s nice to have, yes. But not a requirement
as someone who beat hydatos but not BA, i didn't spend a single gil :V
The cloak is a bonus you can absolutely do it without it
Idk why but the clothe is MUCH more expensive than the cryptic seals, but it might be a Datacenter supply and demand thing.
It needs 3 tokens instead of 2 compared to the Kirin
And maybe because the healer/caster are more generic?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn't the cloak also take the head spot or something
I hope Bozja isnt as much of a Gil Sink as Eureka was
Nah
Fragments are easy to farm
And there's no real kirin osode equilivant you can buy immediately
Oh yeah, the cloak is stronger because of that.
So that’s why it’s worth more
BUT, should your sanity not break in Pagos, you can make your money back in Pyros and Hydatos
and come back to those zones whenever you need more Gil
You CAN do bunnies in pagos but idk if there's anything worthwhile to get from those
Hi everyone. I'm on the shadowbringers MSQ "the light of inspiration" and it says I need to do a "role quest" to progress. Does anyone know what that means? I appreciate your help in advance!
The role quests you were told about after Holmstier switch
Why are you not doing your role quests
At the crystarium bar
They're what replaces your job quests past 70
the game told you about it in the beginning
So instead of having WAR quests or PLD quests you just have Tank quests for example
!faq rolequests
