ohhhh okay! i'll keep an eye out for that next time
will diamond weapon be ilvl 525
also for the 3rd nier raid will we be able to upgrade tome gear with coins?
can we simply spam the raids for coins or will there be a weekly lockout for it?
if you do enough hunts a week you can upgrade multiple times
likely 2k nuts per accessory and 3k per armor piece
prob dumb question but is it too late to get the mounts from skybuilder scripts?
oo okay and its not too late to earn the scripts? sorry i was really late on finding out about the restoration rewards lol
The only thing you missed out on was the fates that progressed the area
oo okay thanks
Anyone have calculations for how many days it would take to max out the heavensward beast tribes?
is there a place to see what the upcoming events are?
Hey just wanted to ask, how's the pvp in this game? I saw you could get some really cool stuff that i'd like to get
Well you’re not wrong
Lodestone previews some pages for seasonal events and stuff prior to them coming out but no not really, just check in here and then and pay attention to launcher news and stuff
However pvp queues are sustained by like, under 5% of the playerbase I’d wager, communities schedule days when people will queue for some pvp modes ,because nobody does otherwise
What would be the quickest way to do 70 to 71?
There are a couple of really really good PvP modes like Rival Wings and Gorge but yeah the issue is PVP gets memed a lot and most people don't run it so getting into PvP can take a fair amount of time
Spamming 69 dungeon basically
ah dam ty
is doing the wondrous tails missions worth it?
cool ty
My Culinary Desynth skill is 450. What fish can I buy to desynth that would increase the skill? Unlike gear, fish don’t have a rating
About a month or so per tribe, but you can do all of them at once
you click it?
How about the tombstone emote?
what tombstone emote
tomestone *
Oh, nice
I'll do that right away
Thank you
@obsidian patio I logged into the app
Where do I get the emote?
you guys! newbie question here! Im a lancer and the game offered me 3 new classes: conjurer, botanist and leatherworking
I don't understand why I'm being offered a healer sub¿? class
oh
You can have all jobs on 1 character
so in theory I could take any other class as well
whats the meaning for being offered those 3? is it because they are located in gridania?
Yes
other classes are in a different region?
Yes
ohhh that's it then. Thank you so much

If a dungeon party is synced and it is 3 blue mages and a tank, will the blue mages have a 100% chance of getting the skill from a boss?
I believe so, can't full remember
Party comp doesn't matter
doesn't have to be a full blue mage party or anything
If you've cleared E10S for the week and you didn't get anything at all, are you able to clear again and possibly get the Cryptlurker accessory upgrade mat? I doubt it, but just clarifying.
Hmm
How many classes are there in the game?
you only have 1 chance per week for loot in the latest savage till they remove the limit later, so yeah hope you have more luck next week
No
Figured as much. Man I find that limitation ridiculous
Thats what books are for
Sure, but that means I have to go 4+ weeks to get one piece of gear
and if people make high ilvl parties, you can't run
a lot of mmos have timegating
Savage unlocks later
Plus in 2 weeks you can use normal content to upgrade cryptlurker
what I honestly dislike more is the fact that you hamper other people from getting chests if you help them learn to clear
thats why raiders have alts
that shouldn't be the solution though
@inland falcon did you unlock it
i need to do a questù
did you do ifrit hard
but for the quest i need howling eye hard but i can't in free trial it says
you can
You need to do a Recurring problem quest line to unlock the hard mode primals
its to incentivize players to learn as a group, rather than have people carry them through
in the waking sands
Waking sands
where minfilia is
Where can I see the min lvl to craft something?
ty
Its really not about that. Its to disincentivize grinding
ah
would the item recovery service thats given once per account allow me to retrieve books that i traded for the wrong item?
but if they make it one chance to get something per week, would that discourage grinding anyways?
Its classic time gating to get people sub for longer
Or items from quests. Like an imperial uniform you use during a quest
Some people might want it back for a glamour
i see, thank you
Oh yeah I'm thinking of the other npc
is buying new expansion(when it's released) cheaper for someone who already own's previous expansions compared to someone who does not, new player btw xd
there is like a pre-order option apparently?
no
No pre order option for end walker ywt
Wouldn't be surprised if they announce pre order bonuses at the fan fest or something like that
not yet pre-orders for endwalker will probably go live when the digital fanfest is/was but can't guarantee it
should I be worrying about grand company stuff while leveling up for the first time?
Not really
You can change what grand company you're in
Every 2 weeks if you really want
First change is free, aftee that it costs 50k gil
As a matter of interest what were the past expansion pre order bonuses?
ShB gave a bonus exp earring
exp earrings, minions mostly
are there any benefits to having multiple characters on the same server?
Stormblood and shadowbringers had exp earrings
Besides having multiple characters on the same server, no
so you can do everything on the same character, right?
yep
which classes take the longest to level up or it is about the same for every class?
Technically just the starting classes since they start at level 1
Arr classes
The expansion jobs start at a higher level when unlocked
I was gonna say Conjurer does but then as a Healer you get a serious boost when you start doing dungeons cuz queue is short 
Technically: rogue/ninja since you can't start as it
that’s true
Or the opposite since its basically guaranteed armory exp as a result
Then again, again they'll be reducing the needed exp to level up in the stats squish in 6.0
what would count as the hardest content in the game, skill, knowledge, gear wise etc.
^^
most take people about 6 months to prog assuming you arent hardcore?
that uh
isnt right
2-3 months maybe depending on the fight
maybe a little longer for tea?
then again depends how many hours you actually go
most of my people said that but thats just what i heard
ive heard mostly 2-3 months
sometimes 4 for tea
really depends on a lot of things tbh
im not exactly in high level raid groups so thats prolly why
neither am i, higher level ones can prob clear in like a month and a half for tea/ucob
Its typically 60 to 100 hours on average
So you spread that according to your schedules
months is bad estimate cause it varies heavily
The 5.45 relic has apparently made them easier but channy bout to drop a fan on our heads for wrong channel
at which crafter lvl can I desynth?
30
which content do you find the most enjoyable/fun?
To unlock desynth you need lv30 on any crafter
Savage raids and extremes, glamour and dicking around with friends in my fc
casting healing spells on random people
The other day a bunch of us did 8 runs of I think it was E2S for one dude to get the gloves for a glamour. It was a disaster cuz we'd all forgotten the mechanics
pvp, grinding with friends, questing
i'm guessing fashion is the true end game content was silly for asking when the answer was so obvious xd
What is the longest HW bird farm trial
@little swift k.
bismarck
Longer than niddhogg?
Sephirot took me the longest since the mechanics are dangerous without enough numbers
Nidhogg doesn't have alot of downtime of the actual boss
Thordan is slow as hell, sos bismark but bismark can a be reasonably soloed

I've never really noticed before - do these different fate icons have a meaning? THey're all the same level
The type of fate
Angry is boss like
Weapons are just kill the things
! Trigger a fate
Bags are collection
Etc
thanks!
Castle is defend a thing
not sure if i'm supposed to be asking this here but does anyone have a png of a vuln stack?
!buff vulnerability up
What's the best Grimoire in the game? I'm curious :p
Highest ilvl is the Edenmorn Grimore, 535
Cool, thank you!!
Buffs and debuffs are both under the !buff command
!buff vulnerability
if i unlock mount on lancer can i use it on anyone
reee
https://i.redd.it/rq86csjrbzm41.png not sure on the name of it
but its a picture atleast
Mm that’s clearly just cropped from a screenshot
I'm trying to find it on XIVAPI, but kinda difficult because I'm basically guessing numbers at this point
Oh Garland has them https://garlandtools.org/files/icons/status/17101.png

Do they have the sprout icon?
Was trying to find that earlier today and Google gave me nothing
Also found it on XIVAPI, can replace the 16 with anything between 01-16 to change the number. https://xivapi.com/i/017000/017116.png
So uh how do you get the gold certificate from khloes wonderous tails? it only says you get 3 silver ones from 3 lines
It's the option to the right of the silver ones
One of the options should also be a gold one
Is Lost Flare Star hard to get from frags, or is the rate for it even with the other things?
From Fragments of Clarity
There is no gold option
what level are you
that'd be why
you only have the first two rows of rewards
at 80, there's 3 rewards per line
No its not hard...clarity only has the essense and flare star
You get alot flare star than essense

uh, since when have MB purchasing fees been a thing
Since the game has existed
i guess i havent noticed on normal priced shiz
The city states you sell from have taxes imposed on them
Finally got my Ninja Job, so for skills, as i level up do i use more Ninja skills or do i still use my rogue skills?
Both
you still use the skills you got a rogue
You are still a rogue underneath the ninja coating
theres like so many ninja skills 😦
Yea the 9 at the bottom of the actions list are activated through ninjustu instead of placed on the hotbar directly
What rank in bozjan to start getting Bozjan coins?
ty
Ah ok
for battle bgm, do you mean the battle effects?
Battle music
that'd be bgm
could try lowering sound effects? might help if its too much
guys what's the best eu world ?
None
?
theyre all good
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)
See here
oh
if you mean selecting the data center then you go to the main menu
to move your character you need to pay
go to the main menu and click data center
thanks, i really appreciate it
is there any quick way to get that chunk o.o? id rather not do another full dungeon for 50k xp
Fates
do you know where at for 59?
Outside Idyllshire
Azys Lla
Or azya la

Speed to specific gcd > crit > dh (ignore if warrior) > det
You want around 2.38-2.4s gcd
So skill speed lowers GCD?
Yes
Okay, cool. Thanks.
only weaponskills, so your AoE spells and unmend will stay at 2.5s
Not that it really matters for those
Piety to comfort > spell speed to tier if needed > crit > dh or det >
!faq Balance
Go here for more
Hmm, okay. Thank you.
does nabriales have a TT card?
Nope
is nidhogg ex soloable?
Yes
Does the Special Task Force check out tickets from NA players?
I've heard they are a group of just 3 JP employees
no idea what that is
There's a form for them on the NA support site, so I would think that they do
Wtf goes here?
My ID? My character ID from lodestone? The person who I'm reporting?
your login
no. the id you use to log in
Man I cannot find a photographer anywhere who knows how to do this one cm tool pose
Frankly I have no idea how the OP made it either in the first place
just load the pose?
no idea
I have no idea
how they managed to grab a female Miqo kid NPC
Change the hair color/style
you can load npcs in cmtool so im assuming thats how they did it
they prob loaded khloe or something
Ah yeah my boyfriend doesn't know how to load npcs
Can you edit the physical features of the NPCs you load in?
I don't use cm tool because PS4
probably?
he'll have to ask in the cmtool discord
CMTool Usage FAQ Table on Contents Page 1: Table of contents Page 2: First time Use. Page 3: Can I use any pose? || How do I load a pose? Page 4: Pose Button is greyed out || Infinite black screen on /gpose Page 5: Floating in Midair after loading a pose / Moving actors around the scene. || Se...
that's a thing?
this tells you how to load npcs
yes
ive never personally used npcs so idk the specifics
Huh
You do not possess the proper catalyst to cast this glamour.
RiP
Gotta buy a new set now.
you need glamour prisms
Can i buy at marketplace?
yes but its cheaper from your gc
is the kubal library still the best way to level at 60?
When melding gear if a stat is near cap and will over cap if you meld into it should you meld a different stat? For example my Samurai will only get 48 DirHit out of my last meld, should i get 60 Det instead?
yes
what does WT mean for party finder?
wondrous tails
gloam set is bought with allied seals
from where?
huntmaster at your grand company headquarters
what does the half circle icon mean? my friend said she accepted the invite but can't access the linkshell - solved : D
I think that means the invite is still pending. Did she just accept the prompt that told her she was invited or did she actually use the command on the linkshell page to join?
They entered into an instance or logged out.
yeah i think she just didnt accept correctly or something, but she figured it out!
You cant send tells across world if they're not on your friend list or hosting their own party finder
so how do i get back to them?
Visit their world and send it...or update your pf to answer their question since you haven't clarified sync or unsynced
I believe /reply should work but clicking on their name and clicking 'Send Tell' will not
How do you manually add in “
“ without pressing tab?
Little sprout here
Question: How does the duty finder works? Is it only with people from my world or also search for other worlds? Haven't quite get that
Are you replying towards my question?
it searches for people from all servers within the datacenter you're on @leaden ginkgo
yes. those are part of the auto translate feature. there's no way to manually od that in game
Oooh only from the one of my data center I see
So if I want to search for a community for raiding or something I can join to whatever world from the data center?
free companies are still server specific, but plenty of people join statics/linkshells that are cross server
what is the hardest job out of War,BLM,MNk
Eeer idk of this makes sense, but do you know if every blue spell has an auto translate thingy for commands?
it should
fairly certain auto translate has every skill currently available in game in it
Thanks for the info
I guess that's why there are no roles for specific worlds but for data centers
yup! also keeps the role clutter to a minimum
I see thank you!
is this the stuff for the dye-able ARR Aritfact armor?

New player here. Im struggling to find a home. I want a server that has RP and raiders. I played a few years ago and am ready to make this my main game. Looking forward to end game raids (And whatever else there is to do!)
@glacial isle yes
do i hand it in to an NPC or?
thx
Any help//alguém tira uma dúvida?
Deleted it, it seemed sketchy to me.
if its not a link in a purple message then dont click it
no raffle invite like that is ever real anywhere >.>
General Purpose Jet-Black Dye is Mogstation only right?
general purpose is the tradeable one
so yes
if i dye an armor set, set it as a glamour plate set, and then re-dye it and set that new color set as a new glamor plate set, can i switch both colors interchangeably?
no
jet black dye is mog station
mog station items are untradeable
that sounds right but i've never tried it
"General Purpose" dyes can be gotten via quick ventures
@warped echo yes but once you remove the item from the plate then the dye is gone
so if you have it as black
put it on a plate and dye it red on the plate
then take it off the plate, the red dye is gone
Alas, I have neither Ventures, Trade, nor MB
ok so if i do this, just dont touch the plates again?
basically if you want to save that dye
ok cool
how do i get to that blue quest?
go up the floors
OH okay ty
There's a small door to the right of the aetheryte when entering the building. It's a staircase leading to upper floors.
So a friend of mine is on the free trial and I want to give them a subscription, though am unable to properly get them the full game at the moment. They are having a lot of fun with the crafting / gathering classes at the moment. Will getting them the sub prevent them from accessing heavensward anymore because it's not the trial?
can i buy them a sub alone or do I have to pay the 30 dollar price tag first for the "full game"
well, 30ish last time i remember
do people play samurai using the controller-hot keys?
i'm not looking for a big indepth guide, i'm just curious if it's possible. it looks like there's a lot of skills
from a glance
yeah
you can play any class with controller
game was designed to be playable on controller so every job is made with it mind
PoTD unlock quest is this in grid, or quarrymill area?
unlock is in gridania
It's in the Gridania Adventurer's guild. Unlocks after completing the Copperbell Mine quest.
"house that death built"
thank you it's been years this I grabbed this one
is it still a good way to level your dps to 50-60?
the ARR ones
yeah
if your dungeon queues are longer than 15min
you can also do squadrons, if you've got those leveled
but they're kind of dumb
I unlocked them, but haven't done much with them at the moment
thanks guys i was afk for a sec but saw your answers. ty
How do I load one of my BLU active set through command?

does the game get better past the MSQ?
Not sure what you mean, which MSQ are you doing?
i mean after the entire msq all you have are raids and stuff
The ARR MSQ was written to re-launch the game after the 1.0 launch did poorly, so it was a bit rushed both for the writing and voice recording, and it shows in places
They hired a new VA studio for Heavensward onward and man does it show.
That's generally thought of as where the game's story REALLY picks up
so far the MSQ has just been - tp to one end of the planet, talk to a guy. tp to the other end of the planet, talk to a guy. return to waking sands
So I just started playing the game.. im currently lvl 10.. is there anything important I should know?
keep doing the msq quests (the meteor symbol) and keep doing your class quests each 5 levels
im wondering that too @tropic bear
also I would highly suggest the hall of the novice quests, the little sprout symbol
??
i dont think he has unlocked that yet
oh level 15?
i thinkk
Is it okay if a post a screenshot here? cause i think i know what you're talking about
think so
ARR's plot is a little bit thin, especially at certain infamous stretches (like the pre-Titan arc you just went through)
this?
The guy who gives Hall of the Novice quests has this quest icon: 
yes, you should do the hall of novices quests
The Smith?
I don't think you can pick them up until level 15 though
like this guy
he'll just give introductory dialogue at first
im omw to him now
They're small tutorials on how to play your role in dungeons, and they give gear. but yeah hiten is correct
won't be able to do the first exercise until you're lv 15
maybe not right away but he will have a questline of like 5-7 quests for you that are like mini dungeons, each one will give you some good armor
the main scenario quest will take you to the hall of novices itself, so when it does
go ahead and do the exercises
Yeah he's just giving dialog rn
yeah then just keep hammering away at the MSQ quests (the meteor symbol)
top left of your screen should always show the latest MSQ you have and below that is the latest "job quest" you have, you should always be focusing those
hello! slightly technical but does the address i put when purchasing the game matters when im buying a digital copy? im from se asia and played using free trial on a na server, but na sq store doesnt cover that so im thinking of using a throwaway na address for the purchase. would i still able to purchase the game?
how do i get to the airship landing
i just got that quest
is there an elevator i take or something
depends on the city you're in but there's usually an npc you have to talk to
got it nvm lol
So Threat Of Paucity is my job quest or class quest?
they're called jobs in ffxiv but yeah
its a class quest, since its for thaumaturge
but its effectively the same thing
they are quests that are specific to that class/job, and you should do them
because they give often skills
Do glamour dressers remove materia?
I think I've heard of people having trouble if they're unable to remember the address they used during registration, so make sure you at least write it down
Oh okay, Tysm @twilit arch @tropic bear I prob got more questions later but as of rn not really
I don't think there's a chance that you would be required to prove that you live there or anything like that
There’s a quest to unlock it in uldah
so i have to go back to uldah?
you need to unlock dyeing first
near vesper bay, called “colour your world”
and make sure the armor is dyeable

how do i summon my minion
minion guide
where is that
under character
Best place to power level Blu?
Solo: monsters equal or a bit above your level
If you have a friend, then kill level 70 monsters in SHB zones
for my 40s I'm just using ram's voice and 1000 needle on the basilisks (along with my chocobo) since they also drop peisteskin that I can sell heh
Don't have a friend
Is the exploit patched?
You can combine fate memory farm for ShB relics with blue lvling
no friend will take longer so combine lving with sth ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Did they mistranslate please with pray?
Its not mistranslated
hmm
Its just how people spoke in ye old times
Everytime I see pray it can be replaced with please
Like how people use Anon for soon
oh
Its just Old speak
I just bought the complete edition of the game and i'm confused how i'm supposed to activate it
Anyone got any idea?
!faq Mogstation
Codes in there
yeah I tried doing it and an error popped up
it just keeps saying I cant use the function
When i've literally just bought the game
Does anyone know what I should do?
Nvm worked it out
Is Hyperion still a congested server?
There's no congested servers rn
Server congestiom changes with every patch
Neato
if u can powerlevel blu mage in azys la why cant u do it with other classes as well?
what makes blu different
blu gets scaled exp gains from killing mobs
its drastically increased because thats the intended method for leveling it
other jobs will get like 2exp per mob
Like killing a lv70 mob from a ShB starting area will give blue over 200k exp but a lv70 Sam will get like 1000 exp
What's serv congestion ?
Congested servers are marked as such
No
Congested servers have actually capacity issues
Character creation is locked on certain servers not even necessarily recommended servers when they're reasonably full at the current time
You physically can't make characters on congested servers until thr next patch where they remove it
Ok :)
Temporary character lock is different than Congested servers
It's 6pm and most people are getting home from work and logging on for dailies. Let's lock character creation so we can better handle the spike in activity
Essentially this
Are there any discords that sell services in game for gil? Like a free company that sells gwiber runs of extreme raids for a set amount of gil?
You can't sell Extreme mounts
I doubt people will sell clears for gil. But I do have a friend that takes in game housing commissions
Selling runs is what I meant
I traded him an extra golden gabe key to design my house
Like a garunteed run that a group will all pass on the mount, something like that
Since rng I doubt it
Ahh okay. Didn't know if there was a dedicated discord or something with Free Companies that sell runs for gil
how do you hide the chat during cutscenes?
I don’t think you can if you accidentally open it up. :/
oh
When it comes to the Doman Enclave reconstruction basket: Do I have to wait a week before donating for it to rebuild, or is the weekly wait just for getting paid for the gear I donate? For example, I've done the 20k now. Let's say I keep bringing them gear. Does it still count towards rebuilding or will it not?
I don't care for the money back
Right-click on the chat box I think.
The vendor stops you from donating once you hit the weekly limit
You can only donate so much a week
Ah, rightly so lol
The cap will gradually increase as you go on
I see. Well, just gotta remember this for a week then xD.
And even after you finish you can sell items to them for twice their value up to 40k once a week

what stats are good for palading other than tenacity?
I finished the last Dragoon quest for Stormblood and gut some gear, it's Antiquated Trueblood X stuff (IL 290). I recall something about "antiquated" being repairable or something? Or can I safely discard/sell these? I already have some Augmented Scaevan gear (IL400).
Hard to know what to keep. Sure some stuff is untradeable/unsellable, but still.
For stormblood, you can bring it into eureka to augment it to be dyeable
Otherwise yeah can just junk it
oh
Wait for explorer mode to be updated for sb dungeons, iirc were getting the lv70 ones in 5.5 in 2 weeks
I did unlock some Eureka dungeon, but not exactly sure how that works. Also, I will plow through story for Shadowbringers as well (Currently 76 DRG) and once I'm done there I will actually start looking at gear seriously aside from just equiping best I have so far. So reaching lvl 80 and maybe buying those higher IL gears, is there any reason to keep these current ones? I don't care if they're dyeable, lol. I can care about looks later.
Glamour pretty much
Oh right there's that. But that's only for MGP, correct? Or are there achievements associated with it?
no no as in cosmetic glamour
Oh I thought you meant that weekly thing
I don't recall any job gear ever being a part of the fashion report
Oh well, then I am glad. I assume fashion reports only have gear you can actually acquire from shops or marketplace?
At any rate, there's no gear I should definitely keep forever cause it's unique and I might need it, correct?
Glamour is a general term for how your character looks
Event gear is a definite yes, job gear can always be rebought from the salvager, otherwise not really yeah
Ok cool. I'm an FF veteran and afraid of all the "missables" and shit. Glad XiV was made to have none of that as far as I can tell. (Obviously time limited events aside).
both elezen races share the same emote animation?
Afaik yes
Pretty sure they do
M/f have different emotes for the races though at least for catfolk
i saw humans dont thats why i want the one who is more crazy
I think hyur is one of the few with alot is vasty different with race
Highlander and midlander are incredibly different in their emotes
okay thanks. hehe, i really like elezen
Me too c:
i cant decide between adorable elezen or night elf elezen(grey hair dark skin and red eyes)
You can ask in #glamour-discussion and share screenshots and they could help you with which is nicer
thanks i will do
Also dw you'll get a fantasia later on for free
Wym "good location"
With a good view
Docks
Do you know the coordinates
I c
I mean all the maps require some story progression but Khoulsia is the one its like "come back at lv78" lol
Ah so late game
Someone told me it's the best place to power level Blu. But I just started Shb
i powerlevelled BLU in ahm araeng, that's an alternative too
basically anywhere with level 70 enemies, which is early ShB
What's the coordinates
For powerleveling Blu for someone who just started Shb
I couldn't join my fc group cos I didn't progress :(
northeast corner between the amaro landing (where you arrived when you first got to ahm araeng) and the bridge
my loop was more or less this circle
o I c
Thanks :)
hey there
new to the game
How do I unlcok classes like Samurai
(I picked Pugilist)
samurai specifically requires you to have a class at level 50
so probably level your pugilist/monk to 50 and pick the quest at ul'dah
What side quests with a + should I do?
thanks for the answer!! 🙂
one more question, how do I join any global chat?
if you mean free companies (basically guilds) or linkshells (basically chatrooms), you need to get invited in
you can look around in the community finder for your world
!faq communityfinder
Some quests without the + are also worth it
i just hit level 80 and have to do the trial after mt. gulg, i´m at a queue time of over 2 hours now, is that normal?
Yes
It's the two toughest requirements for any trial, since most people don't queue for trials as a level 80 job
Most use it for leveling alternate jobs
so just wait?
You may have better luck in the more prime time-ish hours
But other than that... yeah
As much as that sucks

Could always toss up a party finder
Those have moderate success in getting people to join
What materia should I be melding to astrologian in order of importance?
Crit then sps to tier then dh
but melding is only necessary for endgame content fwiw

the short answer is healers in xiv are expected to do dmg
Okay but shouldn't stats that assist with healing take priority?
absolutely not
Basically, the odds of a given stat increase actually reducing the amount of time you spend healing is negligible
Crit does affect healing btw
The practical application of this is that you push your damage up
Is there a way to get a notification when duty finder find all people when I'm alt tabbed?
It also seems like the amount of damage I would contribute to a DPS check would also be negligible.
The only "healing" stat to really consider is piety to the point where you're not running out of mp
Yeah, was about to mention that.
It isn't -- obviously you don't deal as much damage as the DPs, but you're expected to deal ~60-70% of their damage
I mean in a raid I would imagine having enough MP to raise someone in a pinch would be more important than contributing 0.1% more damge to a DPS check.
If you're managing mp correctly, you have that.
Well I'm an idiot so I probably won't.
Like the thing is the actual mp in/out of a healer playing correctly is very small
Because you have cards/lucid/ etc
But anyway, this kind of baffles me. They've added all this materia to the game yet every single job I ask about everyone says, "CRIT!"
That isn't to say you shouldn't have some piety, but it's typically optimal to keep it pretty low
I won't argue with you there -- the way stats work in this game is kind of silly
But yeah, the other points to note are
Heals can in fact Crit, so that is still a healing boost
And they also benefit from Det
Also, why do healers need direct hit? I just looked up direct hit, I can't find any reference to it having any affect on healing spells.
Direct hit is technically a stronger DPs meld than det, but it's close enough that if you're not going full DPs optimization you can use that
Because it's a stronger DPs meld than det
DP?
Essentially, melding Det instead of DH is unlikely to save you a heal cast. Which means you meld which gives better DPS, which is DH. Theoretically.
hes typing dps weirdly capitalized
Oh
Yeah gboard is doing that don't ask me why
Just keep deleting and retyping until it stops.
It helps it learn.
That is unless you have punctuation afterward.
Then it'll just keep correcting it no matter how many times you try to change it. <_<
Basically, at the end of the day this game really is 3 different colours of DPS. The optimal decision is the one that makes that number go up.
The difference between Determination and Direct Hit melds from a healer's DPS view is rather small, so if it bothers you just do Determination -- that's what I do, personally.
healing in this game does not stop at 'everybody is alive' it stops at 'everybody is alive and I'm contributing as much dps as I can'
Well since I'm still starting out, should I go with Malachite accessories?
because simply healing the party is literally half the effort, you'll spend 50% of the fight if not more sitting on your ass otherwise
I don't know what malachite accessories means
But at lower levels it doesn't matter at all as long as you've got mind on gear
get whatever's level appropriate for healers
All of this is high end optimisation considerations
well having the right gear isn't
Malachite accessories have the same stats as other magic boostin accessories at this level save for the fourth stat unique to it which is piety.
define same. remember intelligence/mind are two different stats
Actually nevermind I'm wrong
mouse over stats on your character page (C) to check precisely what they do
Only one other accessory group has mind boosting stats: Lapis lazuli.
while i would be surprised to see caster items with piety, ARR itemisation never fails to surprise me
Yeah at that level it absolutely doesn't matter at all
Substats make no difference below max.
Well I gotta get one of them.
And remember, piety is not the main healer stat
read carefully what stats do
you're looking for Mind
I haven't seen anyone mention spell speed being important tho.
And both accessories increase mind.
The #1 thing to remember while playing healer is use your lucid dreaming.
Piety is solely a case of 'get this if you feel you need it'
select the one that gives more mind
They're equal
and sps can largely be ignored, endgame builds can vary on it but before then don't care
When your mp hits ~7000 and on cd afterward, basically
get it or don't
It doesn't matter then. At that low of a level, the effect of substats is negligible
This is so much easier when they just put "heaing" at the end of the accessories name.
But again, at that level it literally does not matter at all and you probably won't notice either way.
substats being crit, piety, spell speed, etc.
Like.. the level 1 earring can get you to 50 without issue.
Yeah well I'm able to craft shit for dirt cheap, so I might as well choose.
not the greatest idea in the world to do so however
Wrt accessories it's really not a big deal.. left side should be replaced consistently, obviously
After 50 accessories are much less bad and therefore more important
That's true
is there a way to remove someone from blacklist within an instance?
What does the Spire do now that TP is no longer a thing?
Damage
All cards are increased damage
Just how much is dependent on the role its put on
3% for the wrong role. 6% for the right role
But that's not all they all do, right?
I mean in some cases it's actually decent, I still don't have something to replace my +1 in everything and I'm already over lvl 30
So does this sheet not mean anything then?
https://external-preview.redd.it/TCcOivTLKwFnWizmjHY13ZyLKXkMC56mf2RJGTe18fk.png?auto=webp&s=c6ae68cc814e1a144dafc23197d56868fc0cdccb
Then what the fuck is the point of the cards then?
to boost damage
Damage buffs, each giving different seals to strengthen divination
You want 3 different seals for the full damage buff from divination
all the cards are useful now
What exactly is a seal? Just started out on this
So before 50 there's pretty much no point to the cards even being different?
And I shouldn't even bother redrawing?
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Seal when used in combat
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
!action the spire
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is ranged DPS or healer, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Celestial Seal when used in combat
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
See the difference
Balance, spear and arrow give 6% to melees, 3% to range
The others are vice via
apart from the tomes, gil and exp, is there any other reason to do the daily roulette?
That's basically all the reasons to do them
ah lol ok
Adventure in need for levelling roulette post 70 gives Clusters to buy materia
Which is...something
cool ty
Buuut there's farrrr better way to get materia
also, dont you ever sleep? xD
Wuts sleep
you were online when i left last night and youre online now, thats dedication lol
The old cards basically provided an illusion of depth and decision making
I bought the complete edition and it said i'd get rewards. chocobo feathers, 99x teleport passes and stuff like that, where do I go to get it?
Rewards like that are sent by in game mail
I haven't received it yet, should i just wait?
Could take time
I don't remember getting rewards just for purchasing the game though?
Did you have a recruit code or something
Pretty sure those are refer a friend
you sure? it that those entailed in it when i bought it
Like as I was choosing what to buy it told me what came with
The other possibility is that whatever promotion only applies once you've paid for a subscription
Beyond the first month that comes with the package
I'm levelling up my DoH and I'm looking up on guides. What does the notation x/y mean?
You can only input a RAF code after buying the game but before you buy the first month of sub
alright, ill keep it in mind, thanks
Pretty sure that's the durability
Both numbers mean durability?
I'd have to see the page to confirm, but I'm not sure what else it could be
hey guys, any ideas about that?
are you on a vpn
no
A bit annoying, but I would try deleting the ganedata from the xiv folder and redownload
Might fix it
already tryd but didnt work
also save mode didnt
i noticed most of the information is about 2-5years old so idk
Was the game working before? Or is this an initial install
its the first time
where do I go after ARR msq?
back to login, im logged out in the laucher
@wispy peak keep following the 
it's a continuous story.
though the patch story for ARR will eventually require completing two pieces of "optional" content; being Ifrit/Garuda/Titan (Hard) and the Crystal Tower series
!faq contentunlock
the first link has the starting quests for them in the level 50 section
They're the quests "Legacy of Allag" and "A Recurring Problem" (though the link only has ifrit's quest "Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It" listed)
Around how long does it take to finish ARR msq? I know the experience fluctuates from person to person but I’m just looking for an average
is there any benefit to doing the grand company squadrons thing?
it is necessary to get to the highest rank in your GC
Probably around 100 hours?
You can become a first lieutenant when your squadron reaches rank 3
Captain requires completion of 5 command missions and a unique specific mission (forgot the name)
Captain is the highest rank
cool ty
is there a way to do dungeons without waiting 30 mins for a queue
don't be a DPS, to put it bluntly.
You can do them solo but that would require you being solidly above the intended lvl
whats the best thing to do while waiting for queue?
leveling up crafters and gatherers is a great distraction and helps earn gil
Even gatherers by themselves can earn a decent amount if you search the marketboard for stuff that sells well.
does giving un needed gears via expert delivery to my grand company helps my free company at all?
it slowly earns them free company credits to spend on FC actions and a few items, so yes
FC Credits are slowly accumulated by basically doing most things that give EXP or GC seals
IS there a way to transfer my ps4 account and chars to pc?
Buy the game and expansions again for PC
You can use the same account to play on both platforms
thanks!
Just remember to export your Character/client settings at the character select menu after logging in to save those settings.
that way you can import them from your PC and not have to mess with a bunch of stuff that don't transfer over, like hotbars/macros/gearsets/UI
im trying to hotbar some skills but they wont do it? Theyre Samurai skills Higanbana, Tenka Koken, and Midare Setsugekka
Iajutsu turns into them
when.i press "set to hot bar" simply nothing is happening. they don't give me the option to then access my hotbar and then set it
ohhhh
If you can't assign an ability then another turns into it
skills that can not be set to any hotbar usually also say so in the description btw
are any of the anima weapons better than the shire weapons?

The very last stage is ilvl 275
so 5 above shire
Which is a tiny bit better I suppose
ah ok ty
absolutely not worth the effort though for the very minor increase
if you're just wanting better gear
unless i have no life 😢
I'm just warning you that an Anima weapon can easily cost over 10k+ Poetics to complete depending on how you accomplish it.
ah right ty
vs the 600 that Shire is
where to sell triad cards?
Gold saucer
just to a trader at gold saucer?
The Triple Triad Card trader in the section with the prize vendor is the NPC
found him ty
lol thank you
Never thought about it so that's why I'm asking, but is alliance raid roulette a good time/exp trade? I can never be sure on how much it gives
Does the SAM ability to increase weaponskill potency by +50% be based on BASE Potency or the COMBO potency? The damage increase when you do the Yukikaze combo with the buffer on the Yukikaze, shows lesser gains than without using it.
Or perhaps using potency as a measure doesn't mean 50% more damage.
Yes once a day
I assume its just an increase to whatever damage you do with your next skill
Why wouldn't it be based on combo potency?
Yes I know how roulettes work lol
it would be based on the combo potency, but don't use it on combo skills
use it on Iaijutsu
You shouldn’t be using shinten on- yeah
