You literally

#

Just follow your stat priorities

foggy flame
#

sounds good

#

Sorry it took me so long to this but I was in DR, I know Castrum got buffed to 5 memories a go for it's 15 memory step, I was wondering if there was any chance of something similar happening to DR in the next Bozja update, or if that was just because Crystal tower farm killed castrum.

faint flare
#

Castrum got buffed because it was poorly rewarded in general

#

It needed incentives

stuck kayak
#

Well, Guess that means I'm aiming for 55 more DR completions

jade quartz
#

Castrum just didn't have meaningful incentive to complete it after the first time.

faint flare
#

Especially since castrum is required

#

And harder to get into

#

DR is just que whenever

stuck kayak
#

TBH with the coin transfer rate DR's drops are kind of not great IMO

faint flare
#

You dont really need many

#
  • weekly
#

I dont forget Any steps getting any more nerfs while its current

#

This relic is already one of the fucking easiests

stuck kayak
#

Eh tbh it's more just a feeling of "Oh great more silver coins" while running one DR after another for Artifacts

rugged flicker
#

A guide I found says you can get it from there or from Castrum.

faint flare
#

Yeah either drops it

#

Duel is guaranteed i think

#

Just get in 5head

stuck kayak
#

I only get a solid reward for my first DR daily, but if I only did one a day, I wouldn't be done with this relic step for all the weapons I want for two months, so hard farm it is.

People just need to use their fucking essenses so it can be a normal 30min run

how do I get a mount after completing a hero in the making?

Mounts FAQ

'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.

Top half

#

ah ok thanks. the faq i read said it was after completing the quest right before the company you keep. i'm doing the company you keep right now.

Hey, anyone else have semi-frequent crashes on an AMD system with Direct X11 in this game?

foggy flame
#

all the time

#

but I dunno what an AMD system is

#

I've never been able to fully remedy the issue

modest cedar
#

AMD is a manufacturer of GPUs and CPUs

#

And yeah, seems odd.

#

I have a CPU and GPU made by AMD.

#

So was wondering if that was the issue.

#

Seems to just crash all graphics lol

foggy flame
#

I have tried literally everything that has been suggested and looked up.

modest cedar
#

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

foggy flame
#

I use a GTX770

modest cedar
#

Lots of people recommend reinstalling everything when that's clearly not the issue.

foggy flame
#

Have done that lol

modest cedar
#

May be DX11

foggy flame
#

for most people, it's been remedied by updating all the drivers

#

and that worked for me for a while

modest cedar
#

Yeah did that.

#

:/

#

I'm just gonna switch to DX9 and hope for the best

winged fossil
#

Another day, and other question about glam plates. So I made them all up and can apply to my heart’s content in big cities. But if I switch jobs whilst out in the world, my glam doesn’t change. Am I meant to go back to a city every time I want to change jobs with new outfit?

faint flare
#

More or less yes

modest igloo
#

if you glam a piece with a glam plate it sticks onto that piece

remote lintel
#

its only a problem if youre using 1 set of gear tied to multiple plates

foggy flame
#

@faint flare this look better?

faint flare
#

Yes

winged fossil
faint flare
#

You can pull the gear out after putting it on a plate

#

To use it normally

remote lintel
#

dai ryumyaku would prob be next best

#

other than HQ crafted gear maybe

Oh sorry I meant that all three healer jobs are equipped with scaeven and then the plates I’m applying are 3 diff random cosmetic sets.

halcyon grail
#

Is there a way to prioritize my own buffs? I'm doing some DR runs, but I'm having trouble with the fact theirs so many effects I cant even see how much time is on Jinpu and Shifu

modest igloo
winged fossil
#

So if I put my two non-main healers is other non-scaeven armor they’d retain the glam I stuck them but what are my next best options under aug scaeven?

remote lintel
#

your buffs should show up first and in green by default

#

dai ryumyaku would prob be next best

halcyon grail

Well, they keep getting pushed back by fresh stuff all the damn time

#

i wanna make sure im not going crazy - could someone send a ingame picture of the north thanalan map???

#

the map i have for some reason feels like there's an extra area and i have no idea why there is or would be

#

ok yeah theres definitely an extra area on my map - does anyone have any idea as to why??!? no idea if this is something new or unique so im marking as spoiler

wintry chasm
#

That'd be due to when they added flying

remote lintel
#

youre zoomed in

jade quartz
#

that's just the part you can now land on with flight

phew thank u

#

I've never actually heard one of those stories that was 100% verifiable.

#

Autodemo timer emails have worked consistently many times in my experience.

warped pawn
#

my mental map back in the day from fate grinding during arr is the one that was linked so i was really confused

limpid rivet
#

just went to check. So I've got one -.- I got it today. It demo'd last night

delicate field
#

Is the only source of demimog demimateria from desynth thornmarch drops?

limpid rivet
#

I mean, I didn't really use it and was thinking of letting it drop anyways but that kind of sucks XD

upper zodiac
#

why cant i mount my chocobo in cities?

limpid rivet
#

@upper zodiac mounts aren't allowed in major cities, some smaller ones allow them though

jade quartz
#

You simply can't.

remote lintel
#

the game told you that you cant

jade quartz
#

For the sake of immersion and congestion, and also probably so that you don't go too fast to load in objects in the environment of cities, which are denser than overworld zones.

limpid rivet
#

and I feel smart, they sent one well before it

#

oh well I'm a fool and need to fix my filters on my inboc.

winged fossil
# remote lintel other than HQ crafted gear maybe

Ah ok, the dai rymaku i locked until I finish SB I think because the vendor is not in rhalgars. Is the MB an easy way of just looking for the highest quality stuff, or should I scour the wikis looking for next best thing available to me.

remote lintel
#

the mb is fine

can I use charge to quickly reach the 3rd boss' platforming phase in Dhon Mheg?

No

jade quartz
#

There's no way to cheese across

remote lintel
#

no movement skills work on it

jade quartz
#

Unless you're one of the NPCs who can cheat.

#

As a player you can't do what they do.

faint flare
#

Movement skills slide you along the ground

#

So

leaden ginkgo
#

Will skysteel tools be unavailable next patch do you think?

timid geyser
#

Why would they be?

leaden ginkgo
#

I thought that because this was an event type thing, that they'd be removed in time. I'm paranoid I guess

#

Or at least, the ability to get them

silver ruin
#

no

shut panther
#

If they were going to be removed it'd be in 6.0 if anything

#

I suspect they won't be, though

wintry chasm
#

Yeah restoration is permanent content guys...

#

It's not going away

leaden ginkgo
shut panther
#

They'll also be far easier in 6.0, especially if they don't flag expert crafts as not doable with trained eye

vital ruin
#

What should be my CP at level 60+ and 70+

#

I bought the lv 70 smithy gearsets with scripts but only have 415 cp and I can't even meld materias into

fierce cobalt
#

Bit of a meta question, how do I tell the difference between a bot and an alt? Ive been gathering at the 80 nodes and without fail theres always this one person, checked their 2 combat 80s and both min and btn are 80, might just be an alt and I need a reality check

wintry chasm
#

bots will have a name like

#

tdyufguowefbwipf weyfowbnfhiwepfbnpiq

leaden ginkgo
#

Usually bots follow a strict path, and move in a really predictable fashion.

#

You won't see them using mounts or hopping around like normal players

fierce cobalt
#

so a character constantly at the 80 nodes mounting up to reach those places is unlikey to be a bot? name was perfectly normal too

leaden ginkgo
#

If they keep following the same routes perfectly, it's a pretty big tell.

fierce cobalt
#

oh sorry, i meant the timed nodes

#

so a normal player would hit those up on time anyway, if they were big on gathering

leaden ginkgo
#

I believe so, I'm not sure how sophisticated some botting programs have gotten

#

It could be possible for it to keep a lookout for timed nodes

timid geyser
#

Cause there's 2 sets

delicate field
#

theres a website that tracks the timing for nodes so its easy to hit them all up

signal aspen
#

bots definitely will have a leg up on you in terms of how many scripts they had back then, if we're going by now it's probably even crazier

cunning meadow
#

What's the most profitable fish to farm?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ones that are required for end-game food, or quest item ones I'd guess. At least that's been my experience

cunning meadow
#

Where can i find what those are

leaden ginkgo
delicate field
#

you gotta feel the market. I've heard of ppl selling some high end fish for a million gil or more

leaden ginkgo
#

A good rule of thumb is to look at what people might be too lazy to farm up themselves, and would rather just buy it

delicate field
#

there's some rare fish that only show up with specific weather changes and routes. research and find whats rare

cunning meadow
#

Alright thanks :)

delicate field
#

and a very specific chum chain thats all RNG

leaden ginkgo
#

There are plenty of fish that have no real use other than catching them for challenge/completion reasons. The more profitable ones are going to have some actual use behind them

sterile parcel
#

Supply and demand

vital ruin
#

What materia do i meld for dragoon?

#

so crit on weapon?

#

or

modest igloo
#

That’s the melding priority

digital lake
#

wait restoration is going to be there even after ishgard gets housing?

#

seems kinda weird, lol

modest igloo
#

Maybe? Too soon to tell

wintry chasm
#

They said they aren't removing the content because that'd be stupid

#

It's a fairly big amount of content

#

With a bunch of unique items you'd never be able to get again

delicate field
#

and such a ton of ez xp for leveling gatherers and crafters

scarlet agate
#

Do we know what the new 24 man is?

obsidian patio
#

They accidentally leaked the name when they first put up the 5.5 site. It’s called ||The Tower at Paradigm’s Breach||

#

If you mean 6.0’s 24-man series then no not yet

honest anvil
#

Do you keep getting timeworn artifact after 15 but havent turned them in?

gloomy ice
#

Yeah you can theoretically overstock for later

honest anvil
#

does the same apply to memories in earlier steps?

gloomy ice
#

Yeah as long as the quest is open, you can stock more than you need for a single weapon.

scarlet agate
#

Thanks Wynne. I did mean Endwalker but that extra info is nice to know too. I’m not a Nier fan so it doesn’t mean anything to me. Does it make sense for fans of the series?

I finished Automata but it doesn’t seem familiar. Then again I didn’t 100% the game. Got to ending E but didn’t really try to dig too deep as the series didn’t interest me all that much

marsh canyon

How do I unlock leves in areas like moghome and camp cloudtop?

honest anvil
#

there arent leves there

marsh canyon
#

That's really strange, garland tools says there are

#

do I only get leves from ishgard itself?

honest anvil
#

expansions’ leves are all in 1 of the big cities of said expansions psure

marsh canyon
#

oic

gloomy ice
#

They’re picked up from Ishgard yeah.

honest anvil
#

Hw’s leves are all picked up in ishgard but can take you all over

#

still within hw zones ofc

marsh canyon

ahh ok

#

maybe it was pointing me to where the leves are done not picked up

do fates generally reward better xp than leves?

I have another question aswell. I have joined the Immortal Flames and have done the rank 1 hunts. But i can't seem to unlock the rank 2 hunts. it says that i need to complete rank 1 objectives. aciheve the rank of flames sergeant third class or higher but i cant unlock those hunts. what shall i do?

slate arrow
#

Did you open your Hunting Log

#

Your Hunting Log is different from the Hunt Board

wintry chasm
#

Also

#

Your class hunting log section and your grand company section are two different things

crystal gyro
wintry chasm
#

Oh well are you sergeant third class? What rank are you in your grand company?

crystal gyro
wintry chasm

should be in your character menu under "profile"

or you can talk to the GC officer and ask for a promotion and see it there

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

FAQ Listing

dncbuffs
drgbuffs

wintry chasm
#

As in, "what is a buff?"

silver ruin
#

#kupo-bot-spam, they literally just list your buffs and debuffs

#

stuff like damage boosts or stuff like damage downs etc

wintry chasm
#

Well enhancements

#

I did order them for that reason

#

and buffs are quite literally status effects that make you stronger

#

debuffs are the opposite

#

Everything else

slate arrow
#

Stuff like mounts, EXP up that doesn't affect your stats, parasols, MGP buffs

wintry chasm
#

I can't think off the top of my head of an "other" that might be counted as that except for "role playing"

slate arrow
#

Basically anything that doesn't impact your stats but is still considered a buff

#

Well, food is a buff

#

So that's under enhancements

#

(+vit and substats)

silver ruin
#

actually no its not irc

slate arrow
#

Honestly it's a little random if they fall under buffs or other

#

Debuffs are always consistent however

silver ruin
#

stuff like food and fc buffs + mount +chocobo use is under other, cant think of anything else

#

not off the top of my head, but most off the buffs you'll get will probably be class specific buffs or raid buffs

wintry chasm
#

(I missed that)

#

The best thing you can do is uhhh

#

just look at all the job guides and look at all the buffs they give I guess

#

because buff icon is usually the icon of the skill that gives it or something similar IIRC

glossy flare
#

You could level all the other jobs to get an understanding too... if you happen to have exorbitant amounts of time 😅

wintry chasm
#

But that wouldn't take into account non-player made buffs like any you'd get due to certain fight mechanics

glossy flare
#

But yeah, just learning about the other jobs is the next best thing you can do

slate arrow
#

ha haaaa

#

There's too many to reasonably show

silver ruin
#

^

slate arrow
#

A lot of instance specific ones as well

silver ruin
#

best thing is what cali said, or just keep hovering till you get use to them

glossy flare
#

Memorizing all of them is doomed from the start anyway. It's enough to memorize the big ones each job may have

silver ruin
#

^ and any your job has that you play (some jobs have minor buffs that might not be raidwide buffs)

#

honestly just takes time

slate arrow
#

At least it's not Heavensward where your job mechanics were tracked as part of the buffs gauge

glossy flare
#

I honestly wouldn't sweat it too much, stuff like that comes naturally once your "literacy" in the game increases with more experience

#

Just takes time

slate arrow
#

If there's a job relevant buff, the button said buff actives on will tell you what you need to know

#

Also raid buffs and debuffs kinda pop and go

#

Your best bet is to use your Battle Log to open up those status if you want to read about them

glossy flare
#

Actually one thing that is worth pointing out: Do you know how debuffs look that can be esuna'd?

slate arrow
#

blue line

glossy flare
#

Didn't ask myself, but there you go 😄

slate arrow
#

XP

#

it removes the leftmost cleanable debuff per use

#

You can see if it's cleanable with the blue line over the debuff

#

You just have to keep an eye out for them

#

Because there's cleanable versions and uncleanable versions of statuses

#

Like Doom, for example

glossy flare
#

like so

#

And usually it's not even worth knowing what exactly they do

#

If you see that blue line just get rid of it

crystal gyro
#

#

What does the promotion NPC tell you?

#

Should just be telling you to pay some company seals for the promotion tbh

wintry chasm
#

You are one below it

#

Get a promotion

glossy flare
#

Yeah, the rank 1 log is just the requirement to become a third sergeant

#

Along with the seals

crystal gyro
#

sorry for small pic. this is what it says

glossy flare
#

Yeah you just need more company seals to pay the guy

crystal gyro

how do i get that? 🙂

Hi all, I am overlevelled in SB, with like a few jobs in the 70s. But still doing lvl 62 MSQ content. At my level, how important are substats? Like if a healer top of ilvl 398 for a lvl 70 has mind of 371, and another of ilvl 396 for lvl 72 has mind of 360, how much more dead are my party going to be for those 11 mind points (assuming similar across all pieces)?

I'm looking at the company seal shop to buy up mostly the one-time items. Like for example Serpent Hatchling. Thing is, many of these can be bought again (like the aformentioned) without indication if I already possess it or not. For example; what is "Eorzean map" and what will it show that I don't have?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ehh I'm confused, are you supposed to use sleep as in, ur actual jobs sleep skill, or is it a lost action, when farming star mobs?

heavy wadi
#

actual job's sleep skill

obsidian patio
shut panther
#

The game isn't very good about actually showing you what you've collected, but at least it won't let you buy it again

deep gyro

it will let you buy certain things again but when you try to it says you already acquired it

Or you can go to the Darkside install the quick launcher and get the mod that lets you track these things

honest orchid
#

Which gear is worth upgrading first?

#

I assume weapon > body > legs > belt/gloves/hat > rings and stuff

shut panther
#

That's accurate

honest orchid
#

What about for tanks tho

#

Should body go first?

shut panther
#

Still accurate

tender ice
#

Is Ultimate higher than Savage?

shut panther
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

Yes

honest orchid
#

Oh damn, I spent my poetics on the armor pieces already lol. BACK TO PRAE

tender ice
#

Ah crap

honest orchid
#

Thanks!

tender ice
#

I want the Ultimate Alexander weapons but I haven’t even dipped my feet in Savage yet lol

shut panther
#

Ultimate >>> Savage >> Extreme >>> Normal

obsidian patio
#

More accurately, the list goes like this for average amount of stats per item
Weapon > Chest/Legs > Head/Arms/Feet > Belt > Accessories

tender ice
#

Gotcha

obsidian patio
#

Belts are very slightly higher because they have defense/magic defense

agile laurel
#

Technically speaking one doesn't need to do savage to do ultimate. I haven't. But going straight into ulti with no concept of what even savage expects from you is a death sentence

obsidian patio
#

While accessories only have 1 of those

tender ice
#

I heard belts are getting removed soon right?

shut panther
#

In 6.0

tender ice
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

Yes but they’re still something to worry about

agile laurel
#

uh clarification i have done savage but haven't done a final-fight

tender ice
#

Are savages really hard?

agile laurel
#

depends on you, really. they're challenging

shut panther
#

Depends how you define hard

obsidian patio
#

The last fight of each tier is usually a big step up from the previous fights of that tier

tender ice
#

Well I’m pretty bad so it will probs be hard for me lol

obsidian patio
#

And they also usually have an entirely new phase to the fight

shut panther
#

If you're good at memorization, they're not that bad

#

If you struggle with memorization of mechanics..

agile laurel
#

savage expects comfort with every aspect of your job as a baseline

tender ice
#

Ty

agile laurel
#

but yeah, generally the final fight of a tier is the step before ultimate

tender ice
#

I really like those Ultimate alex weapons but apparently I gotta do a savage Eden’s first

shut panther
#

Because at the end of the day, they're not really difficult to execute if you know the plan

tender ice
#

I’ve still yet to even unlock Eden’s

#

Yeah

#

Well first time I go in imma get my ass kicked I assume

#

I might watch a guide beforehand tbh

agile laurel
#

you will need to learn titan savage to unlock TEA

shut panther
#

But the plan is.. an essay.

agile laurel
#

and frankly that's the easy part

shut panther
#

The guides for Ultimates are like... 15 pages long

agile laurel
earnest wraith
#

🤣

tender ice
#

I usually just watch videos

#

Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re long asf either

agile laurel
#

ultimates are give-or-take 18 minutes from pull to clear

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a way to get a fourth hotbar to show up but only for certain classes?

tender ice
#

Are they level 80?

agile laurel
#

not all of them

#

but they also cannot be unsynced

tender ice
#

I see

shut panther
#

There's multiple 70 ones, one 80 one, but yeah you can't unsync

tender ice
#

I queues usually okay for them?

#

I feel like they’re not for most people m

shut panther
#

You do not queue them.

tender ice
#

Oh

agile laurel
#

you don't queue savage either

tender ice
#

How do play it then?

agile laurel
#

you need to make a party

tender ice
#

Ah, that’s me never playing it then rip

earnest wraith
agile laurel
#

savage and ultimates are content requiring an organised party that communicates

#

bottom line

shut panther
#

Even if you could queue them, you'd never clear an ultimate that way anyway

obsidian patio
#

Ultimates take like over a hundred hours of prog to learn and clear

agile laurel
#

let alone the fact they're potentially hundreds of hours of work

tender ice
#

Probably won’t ever get the weapons then, ah well

#

I wanted some shiny weapons, probably go for aetherpool instead

shut panther
#

There's lots of shiny weapons that aren't Alexander.

#

Which one were you interested in?

tender ice
#

Idk, I just really liked the Ultimate Alexander weapons with the sorta clockwork on them etc

abstract pebble
#

What counts as high level duties again? Raids and trials

agile laurel
#

savage and ex that are current

twilit arch
#

extremes/unreals, raids (normal and savage)

agile laurel
#

and ultimate

twilit arch
#

well

agile laurel
#

currently, all 3 ultimates, Eden's Promise Savage, and Castrum Marinum EX

twilit arch
#

i guess should ask what are you looking at for high-end duties

#

are you asking what goes into that tab in the duty finder or for the achievements

agile laurel
#

well, high-end duties by the official category are those

twilit arch
#

because high end would also cover normal mode

#

and not ultimates

#

for the achievements

tender ice
#

Can someone explain how to get HoH weapons? I’m looking online but I either can’t find much or it goes over my head. So is it that I get drops from it that I give in for the weapons?

abstract pebble
#

doing for the achievements, just making sure I know which one to do

twilit arch
#

ok so for "tankless job" one its extremes, unreal, and raids (normal and savage)

abstract pebble
#

Thought so

twilit arch
#

for the "tank you" you can throw in the 70/80 dungeons

#

@tender ice

#

basically you exchange 10 of your aetherpool for 1 grip

#

you need 10 grips to exchange for the weapon

vital ruin
#

So I have 9 seals on wonderous tails 9 second chances but why can't I shuffle

twilit arch
#

because you can only shuffle between 3 and 7 seals

vital ruin
#

Wuttt

#

#

When I check my page in Lodestone, anyone know why I see the activity of people I don't know.

tender ice
primal loom
#

How long do you think it would take to get 140 Sack of Nuts? I have not hit 80 yet so I don't believe I can do SB hunts yet

twilit arch
#

dont need lvl 80 to do shb hunts

#

but that said, being 80 would make 140 easier to get as that's a weekly hunt bill plus maybe the rank 3 daily

primal loom
#

So like a few hours if I was lvl 80?

twilit arch
#

not even a few hours. maybe 30minutes?

primal loom
#

I just want the Deepshadow manatrigger for Glam purposes lol

twilit arch
#

B ranks are super easy to solo, main issue is trying to find it since they spawn at certain points in a zone but the respawn quickly

#

the daily bills are just normal mobs

left moth
tender ice
#

Is obtaining HoH weapons the same method as PotD then?

twilit arch
#

yes

tender ice
#

Sweet

well gunbreaker's is only 70+

you only die from fall damage if you're in combat

glossy flare
#

fall dmg can only kill you while being in combat

twilit arch
#

otherwise you just drop to 1hp

#

you were when you hit the ground

glossy flare

Chances are you had aggro on some stray mob somewhere

twilit arch

you can enter combat as you're falling

and you will die

In combat = on the aggro table of an enemy

bronze crater
#

So I’m at the tail end of ARR just did castrum centri is this when the story starts to get really good?

jade quartz
#

Most people would probably say no

bronze crater
#

Lol

jade quartz
#

You’re not at the tail end of ARR

bronze crater
#

Oh really?

jade quartz
#

You’re at the tail end of base ARR

bronze crater
#

Got it

jade quartz
#

Following that there are 80 patch quests before you reach Heavensward.

bronze crater
#

😮

jade quartz
#

From the major content patches released every three—four months between expansions

bronze crater
#

Not going to complain about more free content

#

I can’t believe they give this much on the trial

#

I thought this was a big bump in the story it wasn’t really moving before this. You’re saying I’m not even close to the good stuff

#

This isn’t even ARR’s final form!?

jade quartz
#

I mean

#

Stuff will happen

#

And halfway through those 80 quests it starts setting up for Heavensward

#

Which has a highly-regarded story

bronze crater
#

Awesome

lethal mist
#

I was in a sequence and when it faded to black I couldn't select anything so I missed a duty. It said my penalty increased. Just curious how that works?

jade quartz
#

If you don’t accept a duty / withdraw after the queue has popped three times in a span of 24 hours, you get a 30 minute cooldown period of not being able to use duty finder

lethal mist
#

Oh so it's not permanent?

jade quartz
#

It’s just to stop people trolling by queuing up and then withdrawing when it pops

twilit arch
#

no

jade quartz
#

No

#

Is inconsequential

twilit arch
#

resets the next day at daily reset

lethal mist
#

I see, thank you. I would never troll people and glad they implemented something like this tho 🙂

jade quartz
#

No black marks on your account, haha

#

You also get the 30min penalty if you leave in the middle of a duty

#

Only if you leave when the party is full, mind

#

If someone else leaves first, then the rest of the party can safely leave without penalty

faint flare

is there a way to see the amount of shields one has?

jade quartz

The yellow portion of the health bar in the party list represents your shields

warm iron

what about when playing solo? and is there a setting that quantifies it?

jade quartz
#

You can set it so the party list still appears when solo

#

Otherwise no

#

I see, that's a pity. But thank you

It’s not important info to know when solo, though

jaunty hornet

are the Makai fists for MNK not available in gold saucer anymore?

nova umbra

so trying to wrap my head around the astro bubble ability. If in regen stance, it only reduces damage while you're channeling it, but it gives everyone a regen buff. If in shield stance, it heals people while you're channeling it, but gives everyone a buff that reduces damage?

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there an option to show party member’s debuffs on the boss? For some reason I can’t see trick attack debuff when a Ninja casts it and idk if I unchecked an option to see it somewhere in game options

jaunty hornet
#

😦

twilit arch
#

yes, that's it @nova umbra

faint flare
#

The bubble itself always gives the regen and mitigation

#

Your stance just determines which persists

#

When you drop it

twilit arch
#

its just the wheel of fortune buff (which lingers) is determined by the sect

#

so if you're diurnal, wheel of fortune is a regen. if noct, its reduces dmg taken

nova umbra
#

I know if you're running with a whm, you go nocturnal. If running with scholar you go diurnal?

faint flare
#

Not always

twilit arch
#

that's not necessarily the case

faint flare
#

You can diurnal with white mage

twilit arch
#

whm doesn't require noct

#

unless you absolutely need the shield (i.e prog)

#

but with sch, yes you should be diurnal

faint flare
#

Noct is for when shielding is required and with another astro

#

Having stacking regens is pretty good

heavy wadi
#

yep

nova umbra
#

I see, so most of the time you want to be diurnal

twilit arch
#

mh

#

unless you really really like noct

faint flare
#

Diurnal is just flat out more potent

twilit arch
#

you can still do fine with noct, its just diurnal is pretty much more efficient

leaden ginkgo
#

Where are the cheapest level 60 crafting tools at? I don't feel like buying one off the MB for 300k...

heavy wadi
#

scrip gear I believe?

twilit arch
#

yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah yeah, i don't really know how to go about getting scrips

strange coral
#

The namazu beast tribe sells some. Although more becomes available at 61

heavy wadi
#

craft collectables

#

also good exp

pseudo quartz
#

Custom delivery is the easiest, then collectable turn-ins

twilit arch
#

craft items called "rarefied", turn in, get scrips

leaden ginkgo
#

"custom deliveries"?

heavy wadi
#

for you rn that'd be in idyllshire

twilit arch
#

custom deliveries are an extension of the collectable system

#

first one to unlock is Zhloe in idyllshire

#

quest is "Arms wide open"

leaden ginkgo
#

Gotcha. I'll go grab that real quick

twilit arch
#

provided ofc you've unlocked the idyllshire scrip exchange.

leaden ginkgo
#

Uh--

twilit arch
#

firstly, have you unlocked collectables at all?

pseudo quartz
#

I think that requires a level 60 hand/land off the top of my head so it shouldn't be an issue? Not quite sure.

#

Er, the idyllshire scrip exchange, I mean

leaden ginkgo
#

Right well I'm 60, so I've at least got that

strange coral
#

!faq scripunlock

pseudo quartz

Collectables unlock in Ishgard by the leve desk, which you could miss if you just didn't have a DoH/L at 50 when you first went through

Man, I gotta remember all these commands one day. So convienent.

leaden ginkgo

Okay, I was just at more donuts but I didn't see that quest

#

Yeah it's not here

strange coral
#

You might have already done it

#

Or at least picked it up

leaden ginkgo
#

OH wait I need to unlock scrips first

#

My bad my bad

#

Ok NOW I've unlocked the scrip vendors in idyll

worldly zealot
#

is there a channel/discord/group of individuals that venture into old content to get the stuff/glams?

strange coral
#

Party finder for unsynced stuff usually. If you're looking to do old content synced, there are a few discords listed in #resources

languid folio
#

hi im sure this isnt really the right place for this but im having alot of issues actually figureing out how to play this game im a new player looking to get into this mmo but the website is hella scuffed ive actually purchased this game a total of 3 times now and this time i wanna make sure i set this up right

wintry chasm
#

Okay so what have you done?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey, me again - so I spent a while unlocking the idyllshire scrip exchange but like where exactly are the 60 scrip equipment? The scrip vendor only has level 58 armor...

languid folio
#

alright so starting from the top i purchased the game ages ago and i think that may have been a seperate accout to the one i have now then i heard about the game being free about a year after that ended up buying it again anyway and now it sits in my steam library so today i decided i wanted to give it another run and i just purchased a 30 day subscription expecting my old steam version of the game to work however it does not when i log into my account it says i dont have a valid license to play the game so i went to the store page and purchased a 30 day membership but now i cannot use my account code with this membership

strange coral
twilit arch
#

There are

strange coral
#

I don't see them listed

twilit arch
#

but the easiest way to buy them isn't in idyllshire

leaden ginkgo
#

Wh-

twilit arch
#

its in foundation because its a straight scrip buy

#

whereas the idyllshire purchase is a blue scrip token excahgne

#

the elezen splendors vendor sells the main/off hands

leaden ginkgo
#

What an odd system

jade quartz
#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

given that it was introduced in heavensward, the system was still very awkward

languid folio
#

i think so

#

gimmie a sec

leaden ginkgo
#

This is why I've been holding off on levelling crafters, it just seems...messy

twilit arch
#

they didn't change how it works in idyllshire but with the introduction of the splendors npcs in 5.3 or whatever, it made certain things more easier

jade quartz
#

specifically this part

gritty oracle
#

Was rathalos ex hard on release? It seems like if you generally avoid being in front of the boss, you barely take any damage and you get 10 charges of max hp.

languid folio
#

ya i was there earlieer

twilit arch
#

the 70/80 stuff are straight purchases

languid folio
#

lemmie get there again

twilit arch
#

so its just hw stuff thats awkward

faint flare
#

People 4 tanked it/no healed it like week 1

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait wait, by the splendor vendor

languid folio
faint flare
#

Cause mega pots were all healing you needed

leaden ginkgo
#

Do you mean the rowena representative

jade quartz
#

OK

leaden ginkgo
#

or the splendor vendor npcs

jade quartz
#

So first off, it's a non-Steam account

languid folio
#

good to know

jade quartz
#

You cannot use Steam with this account, and you cannot add future Steam expansion purchases to it

twilit arch
#

yes, the representative that's next to the aetheryte in ishgard that sells the poetics gear

#

they also sell the scrip gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Gotcha, thank you! I had no idea they also had crafter stuff

languid folio
#

so where can i find the download for the out of steam launcher

solid pilot
#

Ok guys i am thinking of giving FF14 a try the question is with how many people can i start leveling ?

jade quartz
#

You can play this game practically solo until endgame, getting automatically matched with other players when you need to do dungeons for story progression.

open coral
#

You can level all jobs to 60 solo on the free trial.

jade quartz
#

You level primarily by doing the story.

solid pilot
#

I am planing on asking a few friends so how many can be in one party is it 5 like in WoW

jade quartz
#

oh

open coral
#

Four

jade quartz
#

Well

open coral
#

1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps is the standard party comp.

jade quartz
#

Dungeons which are the main thing done during the story and for leveling (casual difficulty) are 4-man

open coral
#

8 people is the maximum for large-scale.

jade quartz
#

Parties can be up to 8-man

#

For boss fight and raid content

#

And parties in the overworld can be 8-man.

solid pilot
#

Do you still get normal xp above 4 people since in wow you cant quest anymore with more than 5

lethal mist
#

Not sure I'm gonna finish this Main Scenario daily before the 16:00 reset. Will I get another one if I go past 16:00 or will that count as "todays" and not "yesterdays"?

dawn tide
#

I see people running around with chocobo "pets". Are these the rental chocabos where you pay gil/min to have, or are they something different?

jade quartz
#

and you don't quest in a party

dawn tide
#

thanks

faint flare
#

In bentmarrow

open coral
#

Bentbranch

#

Not Bentmarrow lol

jade quartz
#

Other players in your party will have no effect on your main story quests or the exp you gain from them

#

and you can't like

#

contribute to each other's objectives or anything

hollow violet
#

Not sure how to word this question - How does this roll work? Is is 1) Roll to see if you find something (69%) 2) Roll to see if that something upgrades to HQ (8%).

Or 1) Roll to see if you find something HQ (8%) 2) If failed, roll to see if you find something normal quality (69%)

open coral
#

Not entirely true. If you're on the same quest to kill mobs, you all get credit for kills.

jade quartz
hollow violet
#

Thanks

open coral
#

Oh, yeah, that's true I guess.

solid pilot
#

How long are dungeon Queue times as dps ?

open coral
#

Depends on which dungeon you're queueing for and whether you're queueing at peak or off hours.

jade quartz
#

Expect to encounter like 15-20 minute queues as a matter of course as dps

leaden ginkgo
#

i just bought a server transfer but when i connect to the data centre it still appears on the server it was on, i can even log into that server with the character

#

is this normal?

faint flare
#

You need to wait abit

open coral
#

Server transfers take a little while to complete.

leaden ginkgo
#

ah, yeah ok i guessed that much, was just confused that i was able to log into the old server still

open coral
#

Yes. Because the transfer hasn't actually processed.

leaden ginkgo
#

ah yeas it just updated

#

thanks

nova umbra
#

what is the fastest dungeon for this?

dawn tide
#

what does it mean when the quest icon is the one with the little + on it

faint flare
#

It unlocks something

jade quartz
#

Means you should probably do it.

nova umbra
#

basically, do them all xD

open coral
#

Those are bluequest . They unlock some kind of additional content, anything from new jobs to game systems or additional instances.

jade quartz
#

You can skip the ones that unlock jobs, though--until you want to play that job, that is.

dawn tide
#

thanks, yeah i figured they were more important, i just wanted to know how

open coral
#

^

jade quartz
#

E.g. "So you want to be a lancer"

#

You can also pretty safely skip "Leves of xxx" ones

#

until such time as you want to use leves to level a crafter or gatherer

#

cause unlocking them is a little tedious

#

but apart from that

#

Do 'em

#

Some of them unlock major game systems

#

such as dyes and glamour, or the challenge log which gives you large exp chunks weekly for doing activities you would have been doing anyway

#

or y'know

#

mounts

open coral
#

Minions. Emotes.

jade quartz
#

flight

dawn tide
#

what about these?

open coral
#

Those are the Hall of the Novice trainers.

jade quartz
#

That's the hall of the novice

#

I'd recommend going through the Hall of the Novice instances once to get the exp ring at the end

open coral
#

You can use them to do role-specific "training" instances which will reward a 4 piece set of level 15 gear and a ring that will grant bonus XP until level 30.

#

I would strongly recommend doing them at least as tank and healer if you've never tanked or healed before.

sullen lark
#

Is there a "quick cast" marco command so that spells instantly cast based on where your cursor is without having to click again?

open coral
#

Since they go over role responsibilities and basic mechanics.

open coral
sonic dew
#

im level 50 on my first class and I have a bunch of quests for hard mode. Are they worth doing or should i focus on MSQ

jade quartz
#

Use <mo> as a target placeholder in the macro

scarlet arrow
faint flare
jade quartz
#

Strongly recommend you do not do this for most spells, however.

open coral
scarlet arrow
#

and if you ever intend on doing 50/60/70 roulette you'll need to clear them once

jade quartz
#

You have to do all three of those primals' hard modes to progress the MSQ past patch 2.5.

sullen lark
sonic dew
#

thanks guys. It's dungeon hard modes

sullen lark
#

So <mo> does that?

jade quartz
sullen lark
#

Oh, then based on what?

#

What does <mo> do then

jade quartz
#

But you can set it so that you automatically place that target centred on a player or enemy

open coral
jade quartz
#

<mo> is for actions that target a player or enemy

#

not ground-target things like Shukuichi

#

You can do /ac Shukuichi <t> for example

sonic dew
jade quartz
#

which will teleport you onto the middle of your current target's targeting ring

#

For healing bubbles, I'd say manually target them

honest anvil
#

do we know how many more different appearances shb relics will have?

dawn tide
#

Is there snapshotting? Meaning, I use a buff that increases my damage, then apply a DOT. Will the dot have increased damage for its entire duration even after my damage buff fades?

warm iron
#

why does the game often not let you jump from the highest (or just any high) point on the map? ypu can't die anyway so why not let it happen?

jade quartz
#

But you could potentially have them targeted on yourself or your current target if you're having trouble placing it

open coral
#

Personally I have my WHM Asylum on a <me> macro.

#

Makes it easier than messing around with the targeting reticle.

jade quartz
#

Oh, you could also still use a <mo> macro on something like Shukuichi, but you couldn't just teleport to any spot on the floor that way

#

It would have to be to the center of the targeting circle of your currently moused-over enemy or player

#

which would probably be annoying to use.

open coral

Or because falling down by accident would be annoying

that's unfortunate. skydiving is generally fun, and it's not like you can't fly back up. I suppose both points you raised make sense, though it would be nice if you could at least jump in directions with possible landing spots. wish there was a setting for it at least, I really enjoy finding the highest point and jumping off. it's a pity aerial dismouint doesn't exist either

#

Skydiving is generally fun

... not for most people.

pulsar escarp
#

I really think most of it is just because there isn't a certain landing spot for you

#

it's esp evident in that cloud island area w bismark where it only lets you jump if it knows for sure you won't fall into the void

pseudo quartz
#

Also, that would suck for sprouts who haven't attuned to aether currents yet

open coral
#

But, if you like jumping from high points, I recommend the Kugane tower jumping puzzle to you @warm iron

#

Of course, you have to figure out how to get to the top on your own (no flying since it's actually inside Kugane), but it's the highest point in the game that you can jump from, I think.

warm iron
#

ahah, that one was an interesting test of patience. wish there was more like that

open coral
#

The Leap of Faith GATE in the Gold Saucer is similar.

#

You actually can fall from that.

#

But it will just black out the screen and send you back to the beginning if you do.

Is there anyway to turn this channel on for popup notifications while in game? FFiv-discussion I can see when someone talks in that (while I'm in game) But I don't see when people talk in this channel

warm iron
#

but the specific point that made me ask the question just now, was when I went back to dravanian forelands for sightseeing log, and went to the top of Anyx Trine. It's essentially begging you to yeet yourself off, but it's got invisible walls every step of the way. I tested several grounded surfaces, and only a handful near the bottom let you jump off

open coral
warm iron
#

such locations can't be reached without attuning and unlocking flight in the first place, and don't have anything of note other than the vista either. so I see no harm in letting the player fall, even if it's by accident

#

During a raid I can see Alliance A and C on the screen with people in them. Does that mean I'm in B?

open coral
#

Yes

#

You can see which alliance you're in at the top of your party list as well.

warm iron
#

you can also see your alliance at the top of the party list

Ah thanks!

languid folio
#

so im currently installing the game and as a new player ive heard that the game really isnt that great until level 50 and onwards if you had to guess how long on avg do you think it takes to get to that point

warm iron
#

the game is still good pre 50 and you shouldn't let what other people say affect your game experience

open coral
#

If you don't skip the cutscenes, 2.0 alone is easily double that length.

languid folio
#

ive heard the game is also story based so im assming if i want the full experience i shouldnt skip the story

wispy totem
#

Can you hotkey the 'Bluemage spell logbook' to a hotkey?

open coral
#

Yes, the game is incredibly story based.

warm iron
#

it's less exciting and polished than the later expansions, but it does make up the core and sets the foundation, so don't forgoe it needlessly

open coral
#

If you skip the story, you'll be missing out on a lot of information about why things are the way they are, and why you're doing things.

ok ty for imput

so i need help...i played like 40 ish hours in asia elemental server and i now notice i get 268-315 ping and than i searche eu and i get 187 ping......should i change to eu? I live in Bangladesh

open coral
#

That's up to you.

shut panther
#

sounds like it'd be better, yeah

open coral
#

If you want to have lower ping, then yes, you might want to transfer to an EU datacenter.

when they say "asian" server it really means japan, fwiw

korea and china both have their own servers, isolated from the rest of the world

If you don't mind the higher ping, or have friends on your current server, then you probably don't want to transfer.

Is there anyway to change the location of where discord pops up notifications? I want to make speech bubbles show up top right corner (instead of top left)

The game is still playable with 200-300 ping, but you do have to be able to anticipate mechanics a little better. You also probably won't want to do Savage progression content.

open coral

I play WHM on my JP server. It takes a little more effort to keep ahead of damage, but it's not impossible.

wispy totem

well you can play on 200-300 + ping. Just play as DRG and nobody will say anything. DRG are the best floor tanks

i kinda hate them DRG...I like paladins more

How often does server status update (designating preferred/standard worlds vs. allowing new characters)?

open coral
#

There's a section there about how to resize and move the Discord overlay

little swift
#

Its pretty dynamic like once a minute but you're better off trying during non peak hours of a server anyways

#

At least the refresh key is about once a minute

Ok so to answer my own question: Starting a Daily Roulette before 16:00 but finishing it after 16:00 counts as the next days roulette, so no bonus for another one. Good to know 😉

@wise marsh astra ty!

open coral

Yes. The rewards for roulettes are calculated at the end of the instance, not the beginning.

any speculation on when the game is gonna go on sale?

SE

#

It almost never goes on sale on Steam.

jovial stratus
#

oh ok thanks, Im just tryna make the switch to pc

open coral
#

It will, however, almost definitely go on sale (on the SE store) just before EW comes out in the fall.

#

Switch to PC from Steam?

#

You can't without making a whole new account. You know that, right?

jovial stratus
open coral
#

Ah, yeah. I made that switch at the Black Friday sale, myself.

jovial stratus

No.

But you can only pick one, so choose wisely.

Its decent alt gear

The haste isn't Super bad in bojza, its the only way to increase dps via gear

haste means less gcd?

faint flare

Its basically better skill speed

but..are we better off with the edenmorn gear in bozja or..?

Your stats are set

@faint flare ok ! I have another question. I just lvld up 80 with my cook, I wanna know what's the shortest, cheapest way (and gear) to craft the last HQ food (btw thanks a lot Vynil, always answering my questions XD ❤️ )

Get white scrip gear, craft HQ Aesthete then meld it

Ok chief!

So I just finished the omega questline

#

What are these ultima raids people are talking about

faint flare
#

Ultimates

leaden ginkgo
#

What are they

#

And where do I access them

faint flare
#

You need to clear omega 4 savage and omega 8 savage

#

They're THE hardest content in the gamr

#

That can NEVER be unsynced

delicate field
#

@stiff parcel you can craft hq foods with white scrip gear (handsaint armor). dont need overmelded hq aesthete

faint flare
#

They make savage look piss easy

leaden ginkgo

Omega 4 and omega 8 and nothing in between?

Is there a fishing discord? I only found one post on the internet and it seems dead.

that shouldn't be the case saera

depends on which ultimate you clear

Title varies on ultimate

#

Usually X Legend

but they all have the "legend" in its name

leaden ginkgo

So that’s who those perfect legends are

Ah hm

Thus the meme "triple legend btw"

Perfect legends are people who cleared Alexander ultimate

I did not start the Alex questline

You dont need to

Okay

You just need Eden 4 savage cleared for Alexander ultimate

They're aimed at the top 1% of people

#

Or people with waaaaaaay too much time

little swift
#

they're not something you can knock out in a day

each one can take months to do

leaden ginkgo

Jesus

They take over 100s of hours to learn and clear with guides

#

In a static

#

On average

leaden ginkgo
#

100s of hours to learn?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Because there's very very little room for error

#

One mistake can very quickly lead to wipes

heavy wadi
#

you essentially need to have no people die in 10 minute fights

faint flare
#

Then you go ALLLLLL the way back to the start of the fight

heavy wadi
#

it's very punishing

faint flare
#

They typically last 15mins

#

Give or take

#

No breaks, or very little

for 6-12 hrs a day

look up a video on youtube of a clear for any ultimate and you'll see

Just see something like Wormhole in Alexander ultimate

@leaden ginkgo this is the wild shit that ultimate has you do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DTxwE8LCAo

Kirrana's Tivoli (without Kirrana) clears The Epic of Alexander on 11/20/2019 16:08GMT as World 7th and EU first. Sadly no tank recordings for the full team PoV, but 6/8 are present for varying perspectives throughout the fight. For individual povs that are uploaded on YouTube, look here:

▶ Play video

its typically recommended that you familiarize yourself with endgame content by completing a current savage tier before you jump into ultimate but its not unheard of that people go straight into it

Hello guys, starting now on FFXIV. Anyone can recommend the "best" NA server?! (in ur opinion)

little swift
#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

pick a preferred server and it doesn't matter

Sure, thanks bud ValkLove

I just watched an ultima raid completion on YouTube and that is insane

#

The bahamut one was crazy

little swift
#

part of the thing about just watching it is that you don't always see all the small details of certain mechanics and how they need to be solved

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

#

Mainly with this game

#

I hope there’s no discrimination with classes when it comes to these raids

faint flare
#

No

Its just need high skilled players
