You know, you should love your egis more
faint flare
Its a love/hate relationship
robust crow
since a lot of your gcds are just commands you issue your pet and sometimes your pet conveniently ignores your commands
¯_(ツ)_/¯
robust crow
i bet you wanted 4 further ruins didn't you
obsidian patio
As long as you don’t use them right when the target dies, spam multiple in a row, or use right before firebird/bahamut you should rarely ghost pet actions
robust crow

Please fix pets
Egis aren't too bad, its mainly the demis cause they're specific and a small time window

lethal mist
Halp, what do I do?
Unable to accept the tuft of phoenix down. You can only carry one of this item.
And therefore I cannot finish this quest. I tried using the Phoenix Down but it just says invalid target. I assume I gotta use it on a friend or something prior to battle?
Or maybe I can put the one I have away somewhere and accept the new one
faint flare
Just discard it
strange coral
Or put it in chocobo saddlebag
faint flare
Phoenix downs are near useless
lethal mist
I thought you could use one and have one revive basically any time you die?
I guess I could use the saddlebag, thanks!
faint flare
It lets you revive others
neon aspen
so i kind of want to play with monk
but ive heard its in a weird place right now
should i just wait for 6.0
neon aspen
yea so in 5.4 they removed GL?
strange coral
I've been leveling it the last month or so and it seems fine to me. My only gripe is no aoe at early levels, but that's true of all of the melee dps.
flint bay
e7
neon aspen
yea
since its so positional focused
are you just shit outta luck
aside from true north every now and then
flint bay
nah, if the boss is a wall all the positionals are gonna hit
neon aspen
oh, ok
flint bay
they throw you like ten bones
neon aspen
like the enemies in potd or hoh
flint bay
exactly
neon aspen
their indicators are just circles not the semi circle thing
same with a boss like that, got it
so i have whm and mch (mch is really my main) at 80 and im trying some new classes
strange coral
Yea, that one in particular you can't see the rear of the circle, but you can see that it has no forward arrow
neon aspen
i have drg at 73 but i can experience it at 80 in bozja
so im kind of grinding that while playing with new classes, im not sure if i want DRK or PLD
and then im thinking of monk

Hey, new player here: I recently starting playing the free trial with a few friends and we've been having a good time overall. Unfortunately, we're having trouble coordinating between ourselves since we cannot make a party between us. From what I understand you can get around this by using a paying player, and then having them leave the group. Is it considered rude to ask for a player to do this? I was likely going to subscribe for at least a month or two down the line, but I feel like the party restrictions are a bit of a buzzkill.
remote lintel
no it isnt
tacit helm
sorry for the text wall btw

That would depend on the person. If it's just asked to a random player, it's a real dice roll how they'd take it. But generally people can be pretty nice about it

Hello guys! I've recently started playing the game and I love it, but recently I've been very short on game time due to current circumstances (working in healthcare). What would you recommend to do every day that would take like 30 minutes to 1 hour to accomplish? Or should I just give up on that idea and move on?
I mean "move on" as waiting for things to chill

Haha even these I don't got any idea what they are, I'll just keep going at it slowly, it just felt like i was making almost no progress lately because of the short play time and now I don't even know why i was so stressed about progress

Hey everyone ! Since yesterday i'm having some trouble with the game and have a lot of memory leaks (often happen that i crash without any report thrice or even more per dungeon), doew anyone know anything about it ? It started happening after i downloaded the game again, to fix broken cutscene, aswell as updating drivers ln my graphic card and windows. I do believe it have something to do with the driver update, if so, anyone knows which nvidia geforce driver is to use in order to squash the memory leaks ?

FF Fandom Wiki is just a very poor resource in general for FFXIV
it's not equipped or staffed to really keep up with an MMO that's constantly updated
and has had some pretty bad misinformation on it before

but as of rn there's not rly a well updated list for minons

There’s two quests for melding, the first just unlocks getting materia from 100% spiritbonded gear and NPC melders
hollow violet
ahh I don't recall doing a second quest. Thanks!

Different location

Oh dumb me

I think in coerthas, maybe?
For the higher combat leves if you really want to go with leves
delicate field
Fates are not too bad for leveling
remote lintel
beast tribe, spamming highest level dungeon, bozja
frail fulcrum
bozja, youll get crazy loots too while doing fates or ce
hollow violet
Alright just did the quest. Everything is grayed out on this screen that I now have access to
pseudo quartz
IV materia is too high for that
hollow violet
Hrm gotcha. Is t1 vendored somewhere or do I need to go learn to use the market boards?
pseudo quartz
If you have spirit bonds on old equipment you never touched, you can probably grab a lot of easy low level stuff
faint flare
No materia is vendored in a direct sense
pseudo quartz
And market boards, I suppose
hollow violet
(I don't care what goes on the lance, quest just requires it to be materia enhanced)
faint flare
Low grade materia is spiritbonded or market board
pseudo quartz
If you never did a crafting job, the early equipment tends to max spirit bond really fast
At least from what I remember
hollow violet
Oh sweet. It doesn't even destroy the item. Awesome
Got it. Thanks for the help everyone
spiral carbon
If someone can help, I'd appreciate it. I was wondering what spells are essential for aurum blu speed run
faint flare
Rams voice, Ultravibration, missile bare minimum
Final sting as well for final boss, buffed as much as possible with Moon flute, whistle and tingle to shred 20% off the last boss
Then standard primal spells/generic rotation for the rest
spiral carbon
Thanks
faint flare
Ofc Aetherical Mimicry, that should never be removed
gusty hare
how do people usually learn Gobskin?
gusty hare
shucks, i guess i have to unlock it all the way there don't i lmao
gusty hare
4~6 hours respawn :/
vernal urchin
The alexander raids are a lot of fun so it's worth it :V
gusty hare
aight!
vernal urchin
Yeah, protean wave and jkick are also alexander raid moves
faint flare
Might as well grab them if you haven't to work towards the 100 learnt
And that stuff
vernal urchin
Jkick is very good
wispy totem
I just completed masked carnival act 29!!!! it only took me all day of doing the same instance over and over
faint flare
Is that the pepsiman one
faint flare
Yeah its ass
vernal urchin
Grats! I haven't bothered to try it yet because I've heard the horror stories
faint flare
Though with the new spells you can probably blow it up if you prepare
wispy totem
I started at 2pm my time, and just finished at 9pm. 7 hours of doing the same thing over and over. With breaks*
wispy totem
The new sting combo wombo with all bells and whistles at i400 only took him down about 20% hp
faint flare
Its basically your limit break
wispy totem
I was to scared to try stinger again.
Now I know why all of the YT videos look so clean, by the time they recorded that video, they had probably died 100+ times xD
I can get JKick from just normal Alexander burdon of son right?
tidal yarrow
how's possible that spirits extracts are way cheaper than potions if with one spirit you make 3 potions?
raven sage
If the extracts sell faster than the potions then it's more cost-effective
jade quartz
Potion recipe costs 2 extracts btw
tidal yarrow
ooh okay
jade quartz
aethersand too
rugged shoal
how do you get a weathered evenstar coat?
im tryna search it up but cant figure it out
jade quartz
Allied Seals exchange with Hunt Billmaster at your GC headquarters
jade quartz
No need to upgrade
The one you buy from the Hunt billmaster is the upgraded, dyeable one.
rugged shoal
at the GC right?
jade quartz
yeah
jade quartz
Weathered/Antiquated/non-Augmented versions of gear sets from past expansions were removed a few patches ago.
wispy totem
You get tons doing blu masked carnival (when you start doing that job)
wispy totem
I probably got a few thousand over the past day doing them all for the first time
jade quartz
ARR hunts are killed in a few hits by a level 80 player
At level 50 you won't be able to do A ranks and S ranks because no one really bothers grouping up for those old level 50 ones
but you will be able to do all the ones on the hunt bills board solo just fine
remote lintel
all of them

I mostly wonder if the lack of TBN for DRK is a huge low level issue
remote lintel
not really
oak ice
It's more of a 
thing and less of a requirement
nova umbra
is this useful?
faint flare
Thats from eureka yeah?
raven sage
Yeah
faint flare
I think that makes the stabiliser for the BA portals, which no one uses
raven sage
yep
faint flare
So yeah useless
Too many downsides for the stabiliser for the thing to be useful
For premades

toxic glen
When iron jaws resets dot timers guessing it applies a new instance of the dot or does it just reset the timer?
faint flare
New instance
It reapplies them
They removed the only true dot extender in stormblood, which belonged to summoner anywau
toxic glen
Guess that makes sense, would be OP otherwise also do people not like Bard because of the playstyle or because it's considered weak, ik a lot of people avoid this class
oak ice
It's jank as shit with its 80 second rotation
lone zephyr
does collectability matter for this?
faint flare
No iirc, just be collectables
toxic glen
Wait is it jank at 80secs because all songs total last 90 seconds or some other odd reason?
faint flare
Your burst is 80s
Which is not a good division into typical raid buff timers
Raid buffs come out on minute intervals (typically)
So you're usually not in your burst when raid buffs are typically out
oak ice
Most other raid buffs are either 60, 120 or 180 second cooldown
faint flare
With a few 90s
faint flare
0, 80, 160, 240, 320, 400
oak ice
Your 3rd window is the first one to line up outside of the opener
Something like battle litany you'll only line up with in the opener and at 720 seconds
faint flare
Also means Sidewider doesn't line up naturally either
Cause thats 60s
Tldr: 80s rotation is wack as fuck
Such a weird dumb number
faint flare
Enemies dont have weaknesses
oak ice
Unless they have debuffs there aren't any weaknesses
Outside of Blue carnival, which tells you
faint flare
Unless you're in the masked Carvinal then its clearly shown
leaden ginkgo
poor magic defense stat high defense
Something likw this?
faint flare
No
oak ice
Those are debuffs
leaden ginkgo
I see
faint flare
There's no enemy resistances
Outside of rare buffs
Or debuffs
But those are usually just flat damage taken
Resistances are only a thing in Bojza, Eureka and Masked Carvinal
Not normal content
leaden ginkgo
I like the way of changing from dom/dow to deal with different enemies
faint flare
That's judt dumb and forces a meta
faint flare
You dont need to
leaden ginkgo
Ok
shut panther
You level other jobs if you're interested in the aesthetic/playstyle
faint flare
Its there if you want a change of pace or different playstyle
Or experience in another job to call out other shit players
And just knowing what that job can do in general
Handy for tanks/healers
shut panther
Discovering that all those white mages you see pressing cure 1 are incredibly wrong.
leaden ginkgo
There is only 1 reason left for me to lvling other jobs
Is to finish all role quests
And access to final quests
toxic glen
Tbh it's nice to know how other jobs play so you can sync with them better
faint flare
Levelling other jobs is basically just more content
Even if you end up doing content you've already done
toxic glen
I like the way of changing from dom/dow to deal with different enemies
Kinda happens for jobs in certain Dgs anyway, Like how PLD is amazingly convenient in The Vault and Haukke Manor
leaden ginkgo
@toxic glen people say PLD is boring cos it s too OP?
faint flare
Paladin is a static rotation
leaden ginkgo
Drg too?
faint flare
It does the same button presses every fight
shut panther
DRG is static too yes
toxic glen
I'm not a fan of the playstyle personally but I'd suggest giving it a shot regardless at some point just to see personally
leaden ginkgo
And positioning?
shut panther
Couple positionals for DRG.
faint flare
Its positionals are static and happen at the same points
leaden ginkgo
Do you thing the dev are aware of PLd s problem?
faint flare
Its not a problem
leaden ginkgo
Well pld is cool for me aestheticcally
oak ice
PLD's biggest problem is that Spirits Within scales with HP
faint flare
Then play it
toxic glen
Unless you're doing High End content it doesn't matter in the slightest even then idk if it does that much
leaden ginkgo
all it means is pld should be off tank if possible, not really the hugest problem
oak ice
It is the biggest problem, but it's not a big problem
faint flare
Goes to show how tightly designed jobs are
When the biggest problem is a slight inconvenience
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Quite reliable, seeing as its the only dps meter so
misty prawn
i need help with msq roulette and running praetorium a couple times
faint flare
How so
faint flare
You naturally have higher dps in aoe
Because you're doing more potency per gcd
Than single target
pearl wharf
well i was doing a lot more damage in the boss fights as well
faint flare
Which is wht you should always use damage buffs for trash
pearl wharf
except the first one
faint flare
Did you remember to reset it
pearl wharf
but red mage and me were pretty neck and neck
shut panther
That sounds correct then
shut panther
What are you expecting?
faint flare
People are bad
pearl wharf
i guess
faint flare
Or people are good and you kill really fast
pearl wharf
i was expecting low damage
faint flare
Thus higher dps naturally
pearl wharf
well this was only once
shut panther
Being neck and neck with the other DPs in a dungeon is what shouldbe happening for the most part
pearl wharf
ill have to take more screenshots later to compare the data
shut panther
But most players are either bad or just don't put effort in 4 mans
pearl wharf
good thing i need more revalation tomes
ive just been scared this whole time that it was a mistake to switch to bard from dragoon as main dps
shut panther
The classes are balanced closely enough that provided you're basically competent nobody will complain
pearl wharf
huh
shut panther
And that bar of "competent" is incredibly low, basically "press your comboes, use ogcds when available and use AOE when it's relevant"
If you're doing that you'll probably be in the upper 20% of the dungeon playerbase
pearl wharf
see my goal is to try to get my rain of death to proc twice before 1 quick nock
faint flare
Yeah that would clip you
pearl wharf
clip?
manic flare
does having better gear/stats increase your chances of proc'ing precise touch?
i noticed that i proc'ed precise touch much more often wearing aesthete gear versus handking gear
faint flare
No, not unless a skill says "based on X stat"
delicate field
Excellent - Excellent condition has a 10% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a significant bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
Good - Good condition has a 25% chance to proc after a "Normal" action, providing a minor bonus to the efficiency of touch commands.
Normal - The efficiency of touch commands remains as stated. Every synthesis starts on this.
Poor - Poor condition can only occur after an action is taken during Excellent condition, reducing the efficiency of touch commands.
shut panther
If you hadn't completed your class quests, you might not have had the trait that increases the proc rate on Good?
Maybe?
manic flare
If you hadn't completed your class quests, you might not have had the trait that...
which class quest is that?
shut panther
I'm not even sure I'm correct. I just know there's a trait that increases the proc chance on good.
faint flare
Itd like in the 60s
gloomy ice
63 iirc
dire prawn
What the hell class/job are you guys talking about
gloomy ice
Crafting
dire prawn
disgusting
proven magnet
i still cant get over how
people call crafting a class smh
ive never played an MMO like that b4
jade quartz
They are classes.
proven magnet
yes but its hard to grasp
jade quartz
They have their own leveling, gear, skills and rotations, quests and content.
dire prawn
Eight seven of them to be exact
jade quartz
Eight of them.
proven magnet
normally in WoW or Black desert miner or black smithers are side jobs u do as a paladin or main class........
radiant canyon
Where do you get the BLU Mirage accessories?
I have the gear set but no accessories
faint flare
From the blue.mage seller guy
dire prawn
Eight of them.
Culinary isn't relevant in relation to the others
faint flare
That you spend allies seals with
jade quartz
Culinarian is a relevant crafting class that makes relevant products.
proven magnet
wait is cooking a thing in this game?
dire prawn
in relation to the others
toxic glen
Wait I thought food was a big deal in this game
faint flare
Yes
proven magnet
is that a class or can I level it up as i play dark knight/
jade quartz
> in relation to the others
that wasn't a point of discussion so it's irrelevant.
faint flare
Its culinarian
shut panther
> in relation to the others
Every crafter eats food, anyway
dire prawn
that wasn't a point of discussion so it's irrelevant.
That's literally what I said though so how is it not
faint flare
Another crafter
jade quartz
is that a class or can I level it up as i play dark knight/
it's a class, and you can level it up as you play dar knight.

Yum yum chili crab

They mean can they level it without swapping

Can I throw myself into Aetherochemical Research Facility blind as an i200 WHM with a Shire weapon and the Lv 60 WHM quest gear
shut panther
Yes
jade quartz
yep
honest anvil
thanks
faint flare
As long as you meet the minimum then you're good
shut panther
The level cap dungeons are all pretty easy because most players will be synced far above min level
dire prawn
If it does the same thing the Library dungeon did it'll probably be like 160 or something
faint flare
I dont think it has any ilvl sync so it melts like castrum/praetorium
Be synced to 270
shut panther
Even if you're not, the other members of your group are likely to be
dire prawn
For whatever the hell reason the Library dungeon ilvl synced me down
jade quartz
ARF is synced to i180
jade quartz
For whatever the hell reason the Library dungeon ilvl synced me *down*
yes, level sync is always down
except for Bozja (level 71-80 content which isn't a normal dungeon)
dire prawn
yes, level sync is always down
It didn't do this to me in the other dungeons ;-;
shut panther
Library is 59, so of course it would
radiant canyon
How much will I hate my life if I just want the Elemental Gloves +1 from Eureka?
modest igloo
It didn't do this to me in the other dungeons ;-;
welcome to having good gear
jade quartz
Gubal is item level synced as well as level synced, because level sync for Gubal is 60
shut panther
How much will I hate my life if I just want the Elemental Gloves +1 from Eureka?
You'd need to do basically the entirety of it. So quite a lot.
faint flare
You need to level allll the way to hydados
radiant canyon
F
faint flare
And get all logos actions
jade quartz
but level 60 gear from the end of Heavensward is much stronger than level 60 gear from the start of Heavensward, which is when Gubal came out and was tuned for.
dire prawn
welcome to having good gear
So me buying Shire gear and getting the WHM quest gear caused it
jade quartz
Yeah
faint flare
Tbh just filter with Scaevan/Omega tbh
dire prawn
Shire gear
I meant Shire weapon
jade quartz
yes
modest igloo
> Shire gear
I meant Shire weapon
the weapon is what's probably synced
pearl wharf
my game crashed
noooooooooo
dire prawn
the weapon is what's probably synced
And my bracelet
pearl wharf
right before the last boss too
dire prawn
Weapon and bracelet are i270 Shire and my entire left side is i210 Oribon gear
stuck kayak
What are the odds they nerf the amount of DR runs you need for the artifact relic step in the near future?
dire prawn
The rest of my accessories are i133 or Ironworks still so I plan to upgrade those first and then upgrade my left side
pearl wharf
well in any case @faint flare this time this person had 520 gear as opposed to the other persons 510 exarchic gear
faint flare
Near future? Very little
When itd not current/ probably
All trash mobs?
Looks normal really, there's only a few large large pulls
proven magnet
@jade quartz sorry can u explain that again
pearl wharf
guess the last red mage was really bad?
faint flare
Which is the high spikes od damage
proven magnet
i thought if im dark knight i have to stop leveling Dark knight and play cook
jade quartz
Switching classes isn't a commitment.
proven magnet
o..
dire prawn
That's correct
jade quartz
You can switch to culinarian for like
dire prawn
But you can switch at any time out of combat
proven magnet
what do cooks and miners do late game
jade quartz
switch back
proven magnet
this shit makes no sense
faint flare
Make and mine stuff

Culinarians craft raid food

Cook and mine I'd imagine

they cook and mine

Higher tier stuff

as a raid leader i have the choice to invite a miner to my raid??????? lol

@proven magnet type /gearset in the chat window ingame. you can save class loadouts for easy swap

they dont do combat

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

their skills are only for crafting and gathering

WAIT
slate arrow
they cook raid food and gather materials to craft current gear :p
proven magnet
combat classes and crafting classes right? lol

OMFG

They're completely separate

That's why you can't start as a DoH or DoL job

it all depends on your server economy

Raid food sells steadily
proven magnet
good $?
faint flare
Eh decent enough
It fluxates a bit
Since its a common thing people make
And falls off the later and later into the tier it gets as people finish farming gear
But will always sell
Its a reliable item
Just pricea vary
Same with potions from alchemist
frail fog
Just finished heavensward, how does Stormblood compare to it?

Not a topic to continue in #questions-and-help though

did seeing horde weapons come way back in hw? or just recently patched in?
faint flare
Glowing ones?
jade quartz
Patch 4.4
honest anvil
ye
faint flare
I think that was stormblood yea
jade quartz
i.e. late Stormblood
faint flare
Glowing weapons are always later
honest anvil
are glowing released in order?
like, most recent one is zurvan(?), can we guess the next one?
jade quartz
No
faint flare
Nope they're completely random
jade quartz
Zurvan was delayed for years and years
faint flare
We have tsukiyomi
But no other stormblood other than shinyru
Its just whenever it comes
jade quartz
We have Suzaku and Seiryu now.
jade quartz
And Zurvan came out after those.
So yeah
No knowing what the devs' process is on those.
faint flare
Nope
There's no real pattern or anything
They just
Happen
They dont tell us either cause people fucking HORDE those mats
honest anvil
oh the materials are old ones?
jade quartz
The material that drops rarely from the EX version of the fight and is used to make the barding and furnishing, usually

does the 515 resistance weapon not have materia slots?
