Patch quests are always required
patch quests are the transition quests

you can't skip story without paying $
Post patch quests wrap up the levelling story and set up the next expansion
christ that is a lot, ok thanks
Its much shorter than post arr
When mount becomes avalaibe and how do I get it ?
Which one?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
ty
Even if you buy a mount from mog station you can't use it til you get your chocobo
Btw removeing grass helped me with flickering a bit if anyone has same issue.
For astro card buffs does ranged dps count casters?
yes
Always play to the correct role type
The buffs only differentiate between "ranged" and "melee", not physical and magical.
Good day everyone. I have a question.
https://youtu.be/bB_MAO5yPw8
I have seen this video where a white mage called Celi Lucis saved it's party by surviving against Ifrit, and resurrecting the whole team, and now, 7 years passed from that video, and I would like to ask how good is the white mage job today. Is it considered the best healer job, ot hast it been nerfed?
Playing The Bowl of Embers (Hard) for only the second time, we all get caught out by Meteor, and only one White Mage survives... what happens next is crazy. I'm still in awe, even now...
Celi, we love you! Haha~

its pretty good
WHM is still strong.
I ask this because right now, I am a lvl 20 conjurer, and I don't know if I should keep walking this path.
Every job is good
If you're enjoying it, then stick with it.
I see.
For the record, I'm a WHM main because I really enjoy it. It feels like a powerful healer.
Make sure you do the hall of the novice
I had hard time getting in to FF14 even tho for the past 20 years MMORPG's was basically all I played. My issue was some game related, but the worst part was 1st and 2nd characters I created wasn't my cup of tea which made me hate the game isself. Once I found character I like those game related issues exist, but they don't bother me anymore 🙂
how come blue mages are so rare? at least for me
Obviously the others are also good, but I just happen to like WHM the best.
Thank you all for the information.
Because itd a limited job
Is there a PoTD game mode for my lvl 76? Haven't finished ShB if that makes a difference
orite
Levelling through sidequests is getting tedious
Is there a server on Primal data center where marketplace items are generally cheaper than the other servers?
Why would you level through side quests?
No but techincally yes with Bojza, you need to finish Shadowbringers for it
That's the worst possible way to level.
Sidequests are basically just there for extra lore. They're not meant to give lots of leveling xp.
Oh, is there a better way outside of roulettes? Still new to the game
Dungeon spam
On the brightside im enjoying the rak'tika greatwood
Roulettes are only once a day
makes sense
Also main story top priority
im guessing PoTD wouldn't be a good exp reward either?
PoTD is useless past 60
hello all. how i can glamour Late Allagan gear?
Do you mean obtain?
no like transmog in wow
for drk whats the best materia?
with moog tomes wrapping up, what's the current quickest way to farm them now? queue time and all..
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
i have unlocked but i cant put in armoire
Rival Wings or Party Finder for Aurum Vale w/ BLU mage
thank you!
You ran out of glamour prisms then
oh armoire
No, you use the glamour dresser for non achievement items
non achievement and non event
Late allagan is a normal piece of gear so you put it in the dresser
if i'm still on free trial can i not obtain the champion's lance (needed for the gungir weapon quest)
You craft it
not via the mb at least
You'll have to level your own crafters
would have to craft it yourself
ok ty vm @slate arrow
do i have to get to a certain crafting level to craft it?
50
where can you check accepted hunt board marks? Do i have to actually remember the location of each of them?
And then you'll have to go and gather the materials to craft the lance so
you specifically need Carpenter at 50 btw
Key items
and yeah, getting the materials will require leveled gatherers
because again, you can't just buy them from the mb
oh god thank you. I was checking every menu but i somehow missed those
@normal plank Just for the record, the relic weapons are in no way necessary and are a very huge grind to do, especially if you have to level crafters and gatherers to get even started.
can you trade directly with people in this game?
Yes
yes
You can, not on free trial though
but not if youre on trial
But not on trial
ive been at gil cap for like a week

o/ means hello right?
Yes

Its a wave
ppl keep doing it
cause it looks like a person waving
Is everything in game logged? Like mounts, scrolls, etc? I'm not sure what I have and don't. Obviousl I can open the Mount menu but I can't really search? Same for minions. 3, visual, pages.
i mean that is how theyre logged
There is a search function though
The orchestrion list shows every one in-game, even the ones you don’t own
Woohoo! Got a great group to do Odin and I got 5 mantles. Any recommendations on what to spend them on?
How difficult is memoria misera (EX) compared to ||hades|| (EX)?
i heard the dying gasp ex is pretty easy so
Mostly just asking if any of the Odin stuff becomes available anywhere else
hades ex is pretty easy because there's a cheese for the second phase
(and hades itself isn't a spoiler, so)
the only tough part about it is the add phase
as someone who struggled with misera, hades ex is easier for sure
Is playing with a Xbox One controller on PC generally a better experience for FFXIV than a Xbox 360 controller?
Frankly I have no idea, mine is starting to age
Does it need a static with good coordination, or just a normal PF? For misera
So was considering to buy a new one
Personally, I'd look at the Xbox Series controller now since it has USB-C but the D-Pad might need some time getting used to
FFXIV has native support for Dualshock as well, if you want to get a used DS4 or something
How do I have it connect wireless? Makes it weird to have it disconnect when I have it plugged in
via bluetooth
Okay
Do clothing bonuses still work if they are glammed?
which way
Wearing the clothing with the bonus
bonuses work based on what you have equipped yes
with a different glam on them,
Equiped in slot carbuncle set (30% xp bonus)
Glammed with 2b attire
think theyre asking if the bonus still applies if the item is being used as a glam
oh
i mean you dont really equip the mog station items directly because they dont have stats

They do have stats
What's the go-to for crafting lv70 > 80?
I’m kind of embarrassed to ask at this point but can someone explain item level syncing in a nutshell? Like if I have two pieces of equipment with the same level but one has higher stats, will that one still have higher stats when synced?
Most duties have a "level" they will "sync to". That means that any item that is higher than the level its going to be synced to, will have their stats reduced.
So for instance, if you bring a level 70 helmet into a level 20 dungeon, it'll be synced down to level 20
The bonuses are highlighted to show they're active
it'll scale it to roughly equivalent at that level as far as i know
Right, but are they flattened out to the same stats regardless, or will the better gear still be better?
it's why TEA BiS can work in UwU and UCoB
@faint flare Where is it highlighted?
because you're still capped on crit and roughly capped on your substats
Where it says the bonuses
They are flattened out to the same stats, however, I do believe that higher... uh.. rarity items still sync out better. That is to say, green items will be better than white items of the same (synced) ilvl.
Gotta have someone confirm or deny me on this though.
They're lit up
It looks the same if I unequip one part of it
The colour of an item doesn't denote rarity
Just where it comes from
Thats not relevant to sync either
honestly you really shouldn't worry about it, dungeon gear at level 15 will be better anyways
Oh, very well. I recall shenanigans with item rarities, materia caps, and level syncs from back when. Maybe I just misunderstood.
If you item is high enough ilvl to surpass the substat limit it will sync to the highest substat cap available to the ilvl that you're synced to
I am wearing it for the xp bonus to 30 though
I am only level 6
You wont kill stuff with it in a few levels
Hm okay or here’s another way of asking: if I’m being synced to say 100 and my current gear is 150, will equipping different gear at like ilvl 200 with better stats result in any change while synced?
My question was does the buff work as glam
My first google seems to confirm there are rarity shenanigans when it comes to level syncing https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/i4vq7j/how_does_level_sync_impact_difficult_of_dungeons/
Like if you use the item that gives the buff as a glamour over another piece? No.
Higher ilvl gear will sync down to your stats more up to a certain point
Why would they make an outfit that gives a 30% xp boost that is useless after level 5
To incentivise sales
Okay, so better gear is still better
Even though its a trap
Unless it's sourced directly from The Balance I don't trust random one-off subreddit posts
I agree, it's hardly anything to go on. Nonetheless, it at least confirms it wasnt a fluke of my mind, I had indeed heard it somewhere before. Perhaps it was wrong back then too.
The commenter there refers to "rarity" but really only means "gear type".
They're still talking about the same white/green/blue ranking.
It should still sync the same regardless of colour
Which still doesn't refer to actual rarity.
As long as your gear is higher than the synced stat cap it brings it down to said cap when synced
Colour theory is feelycraft at best
True.
There is a threshold for how far past you have to be
But thats not really math that matters outside of ultimates
Oh so better gear isn’t necessarily better? (Just using random numbers here) if the stat cap is 50 dmg and I have a weapon with 60 and 70 dmg, they will both be 50?
depending on the sync, you could be at 55 potentitally
(And do melds matter?)
for most content, no melds don't
since the sync cap is 135, 275, and 405 for ARR, HW, and StB
but for something like TEA, yes they do
This thread has some people saying that every substat has a specific cap to it depending on ilvl, and stats above that cap will get limited down to it https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/jkwp6a/item_level_syncing_does_good_gear_still_make_a/
Alright, I see.
so when ultimates are still current ish content, and you don't have a high enough ilvl to power the sync, the BiS are going to use gear that's appropriate to that ilvl rather than use higher ilvl gear
so like for the older ultimates, the gap is big enough that not having melds is fine
but for like TEA since its still current, you want to use appropriate ilvl gear to get the meld bonus
Does cll pop the first time on a set timer? (assuming enough people that have access are actually present) Or does it just happen randomly and then every hour?
Okay, thanks all! Phew
Oh yes, I remember now! Back then, the colour thing was about materia melding. Every item has a stat cap which you can't meld past, and higher "colours" had default stats closer to the cap. But the cap itself was based on the ilvl entirely.
It was before stat caps were visible.
CLL is on a fixed timer
Which is?
iirc 60minutes
Ew they didn’t tell you if you were capping before?
So it always pops the first time 60 minutes after the instance opens?
Not for you of course, the time it's created
yeah in a fresh instance its 60 minutes after the instance opens
thanks
i dont think you can unsync ultimates ever
you can't
ucob will always be capped at 345 yeah
the wording made it look like you could
sorry bout that
If the group clears there's a 60 minute timer, if the group doesn't clear it's about 30/40 minutes
Heh, that is good to know
They also said they're reducing the CLL timer in 5.5 or 5.5x, I can't recall which
You can also usually tell when a Castrum will pop via the oldest person in an instance
if you open up the party list and then go to Adventurer List, scroll down to the bottom
or you can ask in the instance, as well - there's generally at least one person who knows when the last castrum was
yeah, was just curious about the modalities
An instance starts at 180 minutes so just remove 60 minutes from that and you can see if a Castrum popped or not
because I really don't want to run crystal tower for relics
I'd rather do nothing while waiting for castrum instead
castrum's quicker, anyways, since it gives you 5 per run
exactly
Where can I go to find a good linkshell for raid learning in a drama free cool environment?
Reddit? Forums?
community finder is a good place to start
keep an eye on PFs for statics, as well as the recruitment channel for your server
Can also look for raider streamers in your data center
They usually have good communities built around helping new players learn fights
Is there trustable, not 200$, people living in japan who can buy chocolate to help be get the choco mount?
#primal recruitment
Ohh I have been looking at it but haven't seen anything that catch my eye, seems most are already established and I'm just getting into eden etc
ye, you could put up an add yourself on PF or in there to say you're looking for a new group to start eden
keep in mind that its kinda late in the expansion, so not many groups will be looking. you might have to start your own
hey what are the current meld priorities for Dark Knight?
anyone know who maintains the google sheet relic weapon guide? It mentions that one quest is weekly but it looks like it's been patched to be repeatable as often as you'd like

How do I tell when a house goes up?
thanks Channy!
I need some help with controller targeting
just switched to RDM and keep failing this mission
due to mobs spawning everywhere, this is my first DPS undertaking didnt do any dungeons yet
I switched to PC recently and IDK why but I think my targeting preferences didnt carry over from the PS4
nor most my options
are you using left/right on the dpad
You can't tell when a house can be bought until you try to buy it but you can tell a house is empty because it's icon on the map will be that of a gavel and when you go to select wards the name of the plot won't be that of who owns it but will just be a gil value
I was, I heard LB + LT/RT is the way to go for enemy switching
just left and right d-pad will do
also, I just didnt understand how casters work, apparently I NEED to face the enemy im casting at, unlike just tapping my buttons like Warrior do
you should have auto face on by default
You always need to face the enemy to use skills
Warrior just has instant cast stuff
Vs cast bars

you do need to keep facing the enemy while casting
You must be facing the enemy to start casting, but if they move behind you while you're mid-cast the cast should still go off.
maybe thats what it was
like I recall LITERALLY just walking 180 degrees from the enemy and still doing my attack
real smooth like
because auto facing lets you attack from any direction
Because once the cast of a skill is finished, you can move
Animations have no baring
aight thanks
IDK if ill keep playing RDM tbh, I picked it cuz its an instant level 50, and I like the idea
Yeah, it's still primarily a caster job
And your finisher combo does get longer with higher levels but it never gains more melee parts
just more instant big boom spells
yes
No accessories as well
any suggestions about better drops, or just doing dungeons
Nah im using int accessories
easiest would be to get ironworks or gear from the mb
im still in 2.0 btw
Are you still on MSQ?
yess
Like, is this for your first job?
Well no/poor accessories
Just finish 2.0 and get some ironworks when you can otherwise you're fine
If so, then your job quests + MSQ should give you some decent gear.
As long as you have stuff
im nearly at 3.0
But for an alt job, then yeah. Ironworks at 50.
Then get ironworks
Then Ironworks, yeah
they take a real while to get
No need to get a full set
I want a decent sword rn
Just whatever you can to shore up the weaker parts
It takes like, two, maybe 3 days of roulettes to get a full set.
MSQ roulette, 50/60/70 roulette, Alliance raid roulette.
Do I need to finish 5.3 or 5.4 to gain access to the second Nier raid ?
nier doesn't have msq requirements beyond the initial unlock
what
Where do I pick up the next quest after the first raid ?
I'm back from a break and I missed the second raid
what's the last quest you did for the raid series
look at your completed quests
look at the completed section of your quest journal
Or just head out to Kholusia and look for
on the map.
depending on where they stopped
it might not be on the overworld map but in the caves
I don't see it in the completed part of the journal
If I buy the game on pc on the account I used to play ps4 on, will it work?
Can I use that account on pc then?
yes
Should be under the chronciles of a new era header in the completed section
thanks
What’s the name of the music that plays inside the excavation tunnels (copied factory entrance)?
ok I need to go into the copied factory ... where do I access this again ?
duty finder > ShB raids
I mean the area
unless you mean the exploration version
for the quest
exporation area is thru the excavation tunnels which are near komra
go into the dwarf excavation tunnel to the south of the town

Does having a HW relic make getting stb or shb relics faster or are they completely separated?
seperate
whats the best way to do density farming?
For the HW relic?
Solo-wise do level 50 dungeons, with Brayflox hard mode being one of the faster dungeons
Group-wise do Eyes of the Creator Savage, it goes by fast enough with a party of level 80’s that you don’t see any mechanics
I see
what's the name of the theme that plays in middle bosses in tam tara hard?
it also plays on the boss cutscene in haukke manor
Can you access trials in explorer mode?
no

is there any point in promoting above second serpent lieutenant?
Captain has more glamours
I think a few items are locked behind first Lieutenant and captain for purchase
But for the most part 2nd Lieutenant has everything you really need
Hey guys I just finished the copied factory raid, and for the next quest I had to talk to one of the dwarves in the raid zone, but I left without talking to any
Can I go back someway?
Go back to the tunnels and interact with the big metal door
Thank you
Can I do relic in a week?
Which one?
Pld 515 one
From scratch?
how do i do dungeons with my squadron i heard that was a relaly good way to get exp
If you grind your heart out it’s certainly doable but 2 weeks is a safer estimate
Complete the first flagged quest at 20 and you unlock squadron dungeons.
Is there a discord for pug raids ?
You’ll need to level up your squad to let them do higher level dungeons
Yes, from the quest that u get the one free in bozjan to 515
see what Wynne said
whoa thanks a lot
Dang 2 weeks
too bad it takes 18 hours per dungeon
You’ll get the flagged mission at level 20
I mean if you do absolutely nothing else for the next 7 days you'd probably make it
are the training regimens worth doing?
Yes
2 weeks is just a more relaxed guess where you're not selling your soul
They boost their stats and let you adjust to the mission
I have to do eden and nier raids but yeah I guess I can't lol
i dont see any flagged quest
at level 20
wait
Get them to level 20
Yep
will the current savage tier restrictions be lifted next patch?
No
Savage unlocked much later
Usually a few months prior to the expansion, after 5.55
The 10% is probably from an FC action if you’re in one
!faq armouryexp
nah i removed that
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Can anyone tell me if Zantetsuken flashes when you swing it or something?
Like when you sheathe/unsheathe it sort of flashes - does it do that when fighting?
r puppet and manufactured coins only to upgrade crystarium gear?
and when it says reward received for puppet, is that hte coin
Yes and yes
Ah man I can’t decide between Zantetsuken and Sleipnir barding
imma farm coins then to get my ilvl up
or is tehre a better way to get better gear
Savage raids
if you have the gil, can buy exarchic
You'll also be able to buy the armor upgrade material with sacks of nuts
with 5.5 the eden's promise normal raid tokens will be uncapped
I don’t think so
What is Ornate gear?
Iirc exarch will be augmentable in 5.5
ornate has more meld slots
Special gear you can buy with a certificate you get from 3 lines in khloes book
It has 5 melding slots
Don't forget gear from your weekly tomes
ye
You can also start saving up the tokens from running e9-12 normal weekly
I wanted to lvl up my fisher (lvl14 atm) and read that ocean fishing is pretty good. Also it was written to buy special ocean lures. Vendor has 4 different lures there Ragworm, Krill, Plump Worm and Versatile Lure. Which one should i buy to lvl up during ocean fishing?
All 3 baits, and listen to which is best for each zone while ocean fishing
ye am runnin em
Someone will usually say, if not research
exactly what it sounds like
How about Versatile Lure? Why its worth so much?
Yeah it’s somewhat new
Fishers go on a boat every 2 hours and fish up lot of stuff
ah ok
And versatile lure can catch anything from level 1-70 fishing holes
The versatile lure also works at all levels and all types of fishing hole
Iirc
What time i have to register for a boat? I see sailing schedule but no idea how long before i have to register
Like within 10-15 minutes IIRC
The boats go every 2 hours, you have 15 mins after the hour to register
every 2 in game hours right?
ah right. thanks

how do I apply to an fc because the free company button is grayed out
the fc menu is for when you have an fc
DPS is so much easier than tanking and Healing. I got to the point where I just turned my brain off. Sometimes I forget when the healer or tank die and wonder why I got so much aggro?
Also, how to level up quickly and earn gil?
you need to be invited or find someone with the fc you want and click apply in the menu
@olive totem do msq
unless you mean for an alt class
Highest level dungeon, roulettes, deep dungeons

Bozja if you have that
how do i unlock Master Recipes ?
need to buy the master books. 1-2 are gotten in mor dhona by exchanging an item, 3+ are bought with yellow scrips
Recipe books 1 and 2 need you to craft a specific item and exchange in Mor Dhona. Books 3-8 are purchased with scrips at scrip vendors.
i have yellow scrips but i cant select the Master Recipes section
there's a
in mor dhona called "just tooling around"
okii thanks <3
There should also be a side quest there called Go West, Craftsman that unlocks the scrip vendor in Idyllshire. Doing that should unlock purchases of master books.
its actually just tooling around that's unlock for master books
yes worked thanks <3
Oh did not know that. My b.
someone had this issue before and they had the scrip exchange unlock but not that quest done
why can't I desynth some raid gear ?
Current gear can't be desynthed
current raid tier and the latest alliance raid gear can't be desynthed
puppet's bunker gear will be desynthable with 5.5
so I'll be able to desynth these with 5.5 or are these items just locked and I'll need to get new ones before desynth ?
do I throw them away
So I just bought a new PC, does Sony still prevent you from transferring your PS4 acc to PC?
you can desynth them once 5.5 hits
thanks then I'm keeping them
No cause sony doesn't deal with 14 account stuff
So I can’t play on PC?
Is it possible for a new player/account to get anything from this current event before it goes away in a week?
So it’s a share acc between two platform?
yes
Yes
That’s nice, thanks
So I’ve been working on my crafters as of lately and I was wondering are they going to discontinue the turn in’s for items at the firmament for the ishgard restoration?

How do you buy the expansions? The link to shadowbringers on the mog station redirects to a different subdomain shop on the square site that has a different login?
Thats not on a cooldown
last boss of pharos sirius
need some help, I know everything should go highest ilvl regardless of stats... between these 3 - stacking crit on the rest of my gears. The head piece seem like to prefer Spell Speed. Whats' best? Would the Law's Order better with 5 materias?
red cross out, I have no access to get them (no static)
Cryptlurker
you'll be able to augment cryptlurker in 5.5 with nuts and alliance tokens
if you can, try to prioritize higher ilvl
Strange as it may sounds, if everyone should go for highest ilvl... then what are those stats (to show) meant for overall?
I mean SE should just high the stats numbers and show ilvl lol
For comparing gear with equal ilvl
And sometimes gear with lower item level with good slots can beat slightly higher item level
There's rare few times lower ilvl is better
When higher ilvl has basically dead stats on it
Yeah spell speed is dead for SMN.. so
trying to pick out more useful stats in overall
That's fine
my current head piece
Crpytlurker is a far superior upgrade
Especially with augment next patch
Ideally they want savage one but
Its not going to kill you to be off on substats will gearing
I have a quest called A relic reborn but i can't seem to find out where to buy a longarm composite bow; does anyone have any clue where to get it?
Its better to have a better mainstat/vitality than it is to sacc that for substat comfort until you reach bis
can free trial players use marketboard?
Gotta love those week 1 stats of raid, fucking 2.3s gcd
no

You're stuck crafting it then

Relics are grindy as hell
Relics are a grind purely for glamour
Are the Augmented Law's Order weapons the relic weapons for ShB
Yes
I just downgrade my glove from ilvl520 to ilvl490, gained 500 dps because of the spell speed in the 490 :/ mmhhh
Remeld your 520
The gloves are bis
assuming everything going as well as possible you won't gain dps by going down 30 ilvls
the difference in main stat alone is huge
augmenting the 510 gear means you can't overmeld it anymore
TIL
that should not be possible outside of being level sync'd
Or extremely lucky crit rng vs really bad
^
Aint crit rng fun :)
hey guys is there a Red Mage armor that looks like heavy armor?
im trynna get that feeling of battlemage
does anyone know why i run oom leveling my whm way way way more tahn the other 2 healers?
like i go oom SO fast
im not 56 yet
Shame
Then spam lucid
when i leveled astro and scholar i barely ever dropped below like, 90% mana
now im actually going down to 10%
just confused
massive crit rng difference
big
Serge Gambison of Casting is lightly plated
do you think bit more SS procs crit more often?
if you want a better way of estimating the dps between item sets, you should use a dps calculator
You need multiple, prolong tests
can find them in the balance
what is SSS?
Stone sky sea
I'll try that next time. I got to help my sister with her Bozjan thingy
Cause that's fun :)
2min is too short a burst window
Can just adjust rotation to do more "dps"
Rather than actually doing a correct one
So you can fit you narrative better
oh how to avoid pet ghosting since you mentioned it?
Stand still
Bahamut and Phoenix have a habit of ghosting if you move too far to fast
me stand still? how is that affected?
Demis priotises moving
oh
And Egis also have the issue where they sometimes just dont do what you tell them to
See Akhmorning.com for more on how fucking stupid they are
Is that a bug ?
Nope
Like having to wait 5 seconds for devotion to go off for whatever reason
No its intended
Its just how fucking garbage the pet ai is
Now I am wondering why ... i move a lot in fight that I shouldn't have
If you upload your log
You can use xivanalysis to see how much you missed
thank you for the link
But generally
You will pretty much always ghost 1 hit with moving with demis
Akhmorning is great ressource site for casters especially smns
ghosting only affect baha and pheonix?
No
Your egis alswell
Egis as well
If you dismiss them before they do their actions
Its why you sometimes have 3 ruin stacks
Even though you spent all assaults
For example dont do egi attacks to go into bahamut because egis take a moment to use their assault
Thats the only odd one out for me no matter what Enkindle goes through immediatly
Ah ok, so it cancel out other attacks mid way?
So
Pets work in a que
You give an order and it goes into a que
And it will take its sweet ass time doing it all
And the queue goes in the trash if your pet goes away
Its auto also goes into it
Dismissing it cause that que to poof
With. O cooldowns refunded
ALL pets can ghost, not just summoner
Ok I just read it on akh, because pet doesn't work like my own character animations, it has delays and overloading abilities will cause issue
Yes
Just stick to that for now
When you get more experienced you will see it more and more
And learn what causes it
Say there's an enemy just at the edge of range and you manage to get off all 4 egi assaults before your summon reaches the enemy to actually use them. And say for example you step on a landmine and die
So I have to watch the pet animations?
Yesn't
Guess who has to wait for all their egi assaults to come back for 0 benefit
You can watch your Ruin 4 stacks
It's fine, just don't die or summon bahamut/phoenix
Thats why there is a random Ruin 3 inside the SMN opener
Until you get all your ruin 4 stacks
To let the egi catch up
Its why triple weave phoenix is a thing
SMN is one hell of a fun jump but an incredibly technical one because egis are 
is SMN most technical dps out there?
Probably
I woulnt say most but its up there
But dont be discouraged
Learning the ins and outs is easier than it sounds
And whenever you have questions check the balance discord and ask in the summoner channel or use akhmorning
The people there are quite helpful
can you triple weave with baha?
You shouldn't
How do I find a certain server let's say Hyperion Crystal..??
There is no reason to
Like discord chat.....
Wasn't related to you randy sorry
Check #resources
No. Triple weave summon is only for phoenix cause phoenix is stupider than bahamut
But there isn't really a need for world specific discords
I know I just jumped in the middle of yalls convo.... lol.sorry
Ohh ok always wanted to join a discord server with hyperion players only lol
Most socialising on servers is fc stuff
Cause GUESS WHAT, phoenix doesn't take commands when its casting everlasting flight, meaning you'll lost the first scarlet flame if you summon too late and hit the gcd immediately :)
Hyperion is on primal is it not
You usually just do this for bahamut
Swiftcast runi 3 can be replaced by ruin 2
ah
(second ruin 4 can be used in place for swift ruin)
The seconf r4 is usef there for raid buffs in opener
U know I think u maybe right... primal
So maybe look into a recruitment channel or data center channels below
Otherwise it can be moved for swifted ruin
Thanx
#recruitment-primal
You are still quite new to smn correct?
Triple weaving isn't ever encouraged because of how weaving works in this game
Theres also no reason to most of the time
Unless its for phoenix
And triple weave phoenix is the less ideal method
But even then just wait
Is it? I only trip weave phoenix
Yes
But then again I have a very low ping
hey, I can't connect to the ffxiv forum, am I the only one ?
I typically single weave it
I just checked again just to be sure
Its precise timing
Its just the ping that can ruin it
Yoj can either do trip or single weave
It's more of a can and should type deal
Just because you can triple weave doesn't necessarily mean you should get in the habit of jt
I just tried and it seems fine
@manic flare i think that section was added for Ocean fishing
I see... I remember I reported one of my topic to ask to delete it, which was done as I can't find it anymore, but may I get banned from the forum or anything for that lol ?
If 1 lag spike kills your parse we have bigger problems tbh
I exclusivly trip weave phoenix and only because I can based on my low ping I was just stuck on the fact that it's supposed to be less ideal when both are a viable way of doing it just based on your ping
If you were banned it would definitely tell you if so
Also IIRC you can delete your own posts/threads without needing to self-report
I see, it didnt, I'll try to contact support tomorrow, thanks for your help
I would like to know how if I can
cause I spent months to find a way to do it and the best I found is reporting it
banned for report abuse
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/359698
a moderator here says that the only way is to report it

yeah it looks like you can only self-delete posts and not threads
oh got my answer
when I connect, before saying I can't connect theres a really really really quick and short message that appears
I had to slowmo my screen to see it lol, it says that since they can't confirm I logged in recently I dont have any access
I re subbed few days ago thats why
Does winning triple triad by a larger margin increase the chance of the npc dropping one of his cards?
I feel like I've beaten this guy a lot now without any luck , but usually only winning by 1-2 points
thanks
what's the command to return at the entrance of an house?
it should be the bottom option in the housing menu
ty
Is there a known set drop rate for cards from npc's or does it vary by match?
No drop rates of anything are known
Outside of guaranteed stuff
Any rates are anadotal
roger that
Hello I have a problem maybe who of you already had that? I'm just DC because my router had to restart, and now I can no longer see who I open the client the logging window no matter how long I wait! I restarted the PC, reinstalled the game, but I can't get far because I got the same error antivirus made nothing ...
I switched from the test version to the normal version yesterday
I see an intel potion in the BLM opener. Any specific one I’m supposed to use?
grade 4 HQ
which alexander raid is the best for farming light
Eyes of the Creator Savage
Eyes of the creator
Grade 4 tincture of intel?
thank you
Yes but again no reason unless you're in savage/ultimate
Thanks!
For the sake of practicing openers/rotations use a mana pot instead in that spot since they share a cooldown and are cheaper @civic flare

I'm trying to buy lighting crystals from the marketboard but it keeps telling me that I have insufficient inventory space.
I only have 3 lightning crystals left
And my main inventory has plenty of space.
how big is the stack you're trying to buy
i just started playing free trial, should i go till the end of free trial before purchasing
You can
thats up to you
if you feel like you want to maximize use of the trial before you enter the license its fine as well
you can buy it now and just hold the code if its not ps4 license
The trial limitations are primarily social...the biggest impact is gil limit and storage
yea maybe ill decide when i hit limits on those, my gil pretty low rn since im just lvl 22 ish
not being to add friends kinda suck doe
Are all the hildebrand quests chained? If I'm in Kugane does he have a separate line that starts here or do I need to head back to ARR and do the entire chain?
Ah Hildebrand! Denying me access to a triple triad opponent. Time to go back to vesper bay and pick you up again ^_^

Why you can't do ultimates unsynced?
because that would make them easier?
So they keep their challenge
And not devalue the rewards
People would be pretty annoy if your casual grey parser ran around with legend titles without putting in the hundreds of hours to prog it
How do I hide the chat log in gpose?
^- Answer: Right click one of the tabs at the bottom of the log
Will they remove the weekly cap for tomestones in 6.0?
Yes, cause there will be a new capped tome at 90
Revelation and allegory go away in 6.0 and you'll be able to convert them to poetics
Go away? So I won't be able to purchase cryptluker gear?
With poetics
you'll be able to purchase them with poetics
Everything gets converted to poetics
Oh
Just like Scaevan
6.0 will introduce new end-game tomestones
The cycle continues
I didn't know about that
This is the gear cycle that's stuck around since heavensward basically
Ahhh, is that why the WoL was so sad when the exarch pointed at the tomestones in the beginning?
Not sad. Just disappointed/exacerbated
Its the "oh god this again"
The WoL was unhappy to see tomestones because they know that means they'll have to grind for more.
Face
It's a meta joke.
There's no escape from the tomes
I'm starting to feel the pain
i got pass level 20, do i have to keep continuing the story before i can unlock the chocobo/mount thing
yes
Story locks EVERYTHING
MSQ is the answer to almost every "how do I unlock this" question.
Your level means nothing
When we talk about needing specific levels to unlock content, 9 times out of 10 we're talking about MSQ level, not character level.
;-; no mount yet then
!faq mount
'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.
Just for reference.
is there something that i get by finishing the main questline inside the firmament?
aside from the orchestrion
and the art appraiser
is there a way to look at the search info of someone while not in game?
like on the lodestone or something i was thinking
Yeah lodestone has it
Or Kupo's lodestone/classes commands which you can use in #kupo-bot-spam
I know there's parsers, but is there a way to get a realtime DPS display somehow?
it is displaying it in real time?
oh the parsers do?
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
I thought it was an after-the-fact log parser
It's real time
awesome, thanks
theres a window that overlays on top of your game where you can see the numbers
After the fact is if you choose to upload your logs to fflogs to compare them to other players
that makes me super happy, I understand dps meters can be used against people, but they sure are nice for personal use
Hey what do you do with High Allagan Aetherstones and Neo Aetherstones from Coils of Bahamut exactly?
They're used for crafting cosmetic versions of the armor from those raids. Safe to sell, if you've no intention to use those glamours.
in shinryu ex we why we sometimes wipe in the add phase (the phase with the dragon adds and proximity markers)?
300000 gil is the max to have on you in the trial so where should I spend it I heard you could convert it to allegan pieces?
you can buy gear from the npc shop
Ya I’ll up all my classes but I’ll probably max out on gil alot
gil isn't important really
especially for the free trial, u dont have any good gil sinks
wht area do i get the red memories from 4 fates
for shb relics?
yeah
azys la and hinterland
do azys la cause you get synced to 61 in all so that's faster

do they nerf/buff jobs for every patch or is it just every expansion?
they do adjustments to jobs during the expansion usually on major patches
and then jobs get revamped/touched up/new stuff at the start of every expansion
reworks are rare but do happy too
what do the neir raids give you and are they worth doing if you are trying to reach gear cap and currently have full exarchic
The upcoming Nier raid will drop i520 gear
Each of the three Nier raid will reward you with a token when you clear them
thats how endgame gearing works
Three of these token can be traded for upgrade item to upgrade the Revelation tomestone crypt lurker gears
as someone who just wants to finish everything in few days and then move on to next thing or next game, this make me waanna cry
ok so crypt lurker is from tomes and edenmorne from savage ?
You can just move on, Antihero
after the 13th, edenmorne will still be best or a new level of gear will come ?
When Endwalker drops, you can buy all these with Poetic tomestone
There's no new item level
That's it for Shadowbringers
Only a new relic weapon
535 weapons and 530 gears are the max
ok so i won’t be left behind everyone will still be doing savage 😢
you wont need to do savage to get the highest ilvl
And getting highest ilvl is just an optional goal
It is not required for anything
(aside from Ultimate)
Anyone seeing a lot of lag spikes around? I saw at least 4 separate people lagging during reclears
yes
DDOS?
word about komra in tomra
