Does sting count towards avoidable damage
For the second step of the relic quest, where you get 6 items from dungeons, what dungeons actually give them ?
Or is it 1/day regardless ?
It says in the quest
"level 60 dungeons"
Synced lv60 dungeons
synced lv60 ? Oh
Read the black box pop ups that show
When you get steps
They tell you
Specifically
Black boxes mean very important info
is it risky to use Living Dead in Trust? Like, will NPC even bother to heal you full?

Anyone know if this is usable with an English account? I have a friend who might give it to me but I'm not sure if its one of those region locked codes. Preorder DLC for Heavensward.
pretty sure the preorder codes have short expiry dates
but thats just from like
random knowledge
||oh hi Ipsusu! :D||
Yeah thats a good point. I was hoping to finally get the Baron Circlet since its technically no longer available but I guess I have to accept the facts oof
any problem with just checking the code? if they were gunna give it to you anyway
if it doesnt work, you'll know if its region locked or expired
The faq for the codes say it should be expired but yeah you may as well try it
that code expiry page so bullshit tho anyway, says multiple codes wont work when they actually do
That's why I said try it anyway
The button to redeem preorder codes isn't currently on mogstation anyway (at least for me it isn't)
It'll probably appear again when EW is available for preorder, but probably will only take EW codes
take my circlet my bangs hide basically all of it anyway
xD ty ty Ipsusu! I shall treasure it.
I guess I'm gonna have to hope for a Cecil Harvey glam for Endwalker since its FFIV themed
2 questions about BLM at 60. Is the single target rotation still Blizz3 > Enochian > Blizz4 > Fire3 > Fire4 (x3) > Fire 1 > Fire4 (x3)?
and when i Swiftcast into Flare after AstralFire3, i have no mp when i Transfuse into UmbralIce, do i just do nothing for a second while my mp regens?
Yes
that makes sense, still new to FFXIV's combat sry
Where can i sell the restricted items that i got from submarine? like the star saphire and star ruby
If you play Frontline over and over, do you keep earning wolfmarks?
Yes
Would it give 500 each run afterwards?
Depends if you win or lose
how much you earn depends on what place your team is
1k for 1st, 750 for 2nd, 500 for 3rd
Hello, I have a question regarding the ps4. Did they remove the ffxiv free trial on ps4?
is lodestone working?
trying to get a token into it for a verification but its been offline for me for 2 days?
It looks fine to me
Does cure 3 still generate a ton of emnity
so weird, i just cant open it, says

cause I wanna try a fun little exploit in Praetorium, in which as a WHM I can steal aggro from tanks
you can just regen/medica a lot
You can if theyre bad
unless they dont hit mobs
My friend found it but its not letting him downloading it :<
anyone know why
hello, I wanna make an FC, can i make people sign it then leave so i can make it or they must stay?
They can leave
having gone through this myself a while ago, could be already downloaded for another account on the system (for some reason it only lets you download once per system?) could be that he already has a FFXIV account linked to their psn - cant do free trial on both psn and on pc at the same time.
ty ill let em know
He might already own the base game since PS+ gave it away for free a while back. In that case you can't revert to free trial on that account.
Just finished ShB, what are my next steps in order to obtain the relic weapon?
Did you finish the SB alliance raids?
the ivalice ones
Nope...
Then those are your next steps
gotta do that questline first
the NPC to do those is in Kugane
same NPC that starts the Bozja/relic questline so keep that in mind
I’m at the far west end of Limsa. Arrows says there is a way back to Vesper Bay. Can’t find skipper or anything. I’m done with msq. help 🤷♂️
I’m so stupid I’m past the ticketer 🤦
Can’t believe I spent 15 minutes searching for a skipper. Nevermind me and sorry for wasting time.
Is there any reason to not go for the 180 day standard sub over entry if you know for a fact that youre going to be playing for that entire time period? (IE time cards being discounted occasionally which as far as I can tell is not the case) being that the 180 standard and entry 30 share the same price
not wanting to front more money every 6 months as opposed to per month or whatever
No real reason not to if you're gonna be playing all that time, no, I don't think I've ever seen a discount for subs from a reputable seller. Though not much advantage either, very few people make more than one character on the same world
Guys is it possible to transfer my character from NA server to european one?
Yes, with a home world transfer (costs money)
I mean ofc it costs money :P just wanted to make sure if its possible, thx ;)
My PC is in the shop for the week and I want to make sure I farm enough tomes before the moogle event ends. I have the starter edition on my PS4, do I have to buy Shadowbringers again or will it know I already purchased the expansion before?
If you want to access stormblood and Shadowbringers stuff yes
pretty weird question, but what does machinist bring to the table in a team
i was considering to try it out when i start heavensward
Damage
From the groups I have been they bring solid dps
Its the high dps ranged physical
so just solid dps ig
Like when I tank and see them and a astro I am the happiest tank in FF
im just trying to see what i like and find my main
been experimenting with blm and ninja so far
Is there any bot command explaining savage loot?
Wait, so you can access the same account from PC or PS4, but you must buy each game license individually per platform?
Yes
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
Hey what materia should I meld onto WHM?
Piety to comfort > crit > determination, I think? > Dhit
(since heals don't scale of direct hits whatsoever)
I've never really melded piety. Or tenacity either, does it make much of a difference?
That explains a lpt
I have mostly crit melded onto scholar, for the catalyze proc, should I swap that to piety too?
No
Piety is a comfort stat
If you're not running out of mana then you dont need more
As far as I'm aware, det and dhit are about the same in value. It comes down to: If you want a bit more healing, then go det. If you want a bit more dps, then do dhit.
It's why we use comfy
a rarely use lucid on sch, a whole lot on whm.
If you're not running out of MP, you're comfy
cool
all healers use lucid on cooldown in most extreme, savage, and ultimate content so
Your needs may change eventually
I never do savage raiding in the first place. I could never heal/tank even EX
Eden*
It's easier than you think
you should be using lucid on cd
It's easier if people don't screw up
but that's for another time
but yeah, you have to use lucid anyway since you spam glare
But what if I don't need mana?
use it anyway
Is this a bad time to mention my whm is only 60?
your dmg spells cost mana
Also depends on how hard the pulls are
do you spam dps spells when you're not healing ?
yes
Who doesnt
you dont just stand around doing nothing
Too many people
Always Be Casting
Assuming the tank is pulling wall 2 wall and you're doing DPS and healing you should be using Lucid @ 8000 MP and on cooldown during combat
I'm a dps main, if I don't have big numbers flying across the screen, I panic
that's the whm spirit yeah
you should be using lucid at 8k mp regardless of whats happening
White mage has infinite mana when you properly use its off globals and lilies
and thin air
Can anyone help me find this one specific scene? It’s from HW and Estinien says something mean about dragons and Ysayle turns and gives him a look and he just shrugs back at her. Any ideas?
@rough fossil ||its the scene when you visit the gnaths||
||and youre going to kill ravana||
off topic: the other day I was in potd, I was on a floor that gave haste, I used presence of mind, and spammed holy. Its was fun
3 holys per tick
Ooh thanks! I have been rewatching scenes but started after that one. Cheers!
Now may I ask, how is tenacity shit? It increases defense and hp restored, isn't that a good thing?
more damage > tenacity
because you need a shit ton of it before you even feel anything
also that
it looks good by its description but its effect sucks ass
the only way you feel the tenacity difference is if you almost die
Which changes nothing
Well
I feel like they should mention the numbers, like "decreases damage taken by x"
The damage reduction is super unnecessary and isn't significant enough to reduce the amount of heals and mitigations you normally have to use.
And damage is its own mitigation
assuming you go 100% tenacity, you can survive.... One more auto. Maybe two.
yeap.
It doesn't change your cooldown usage
It doesn't change healing cooldowns
So basically changes nothing
It's why during the second raid tier BiS actually used the 485 relic headpiece
You wong even notice it
That had 5 materia slots because taking that and avoiding the tenacity on the raid and tomestone pieces was actually better 
It also had more skill speed than 3 of the tanks wanted
Only warrior took the raid helm
Imagine having so much speed you just turn into a chainsaw
Warrior wants monks ability to go fast, monk wants warriors ability to do damage
Just give monk an axe


Can I marry Soken?

Lol
Are all MSQ scenes not in the Unending Journey? I tracked down the quest line I wanted to see but can’t find it in the scene replay book
not a shitpost channel
Some cutscenes aren't in there, especially ones that don't have an active camera
Plus obviously all dialogues which aren't part of a cutscene at all
of which there are many.
Aw
Argh I just want that clip of Estinien shrugging at Ysayle lol
Would New Game+ let me see it again?
Whoops got names confused
Aighty then
In the quest “The Ultimate Ballad” it asks me to “use the duty finder to confront the ultimate weapon”, what raid is that? x
The duty is called The Minstrel’s Ballad: Ultima’s Bane
Thank you x
No
ty
I'm 59 now and just started Heavensward - if I only do the MSQ, will the XP be enough to take me to 80
Yes
Yep its the quickest way
Is XP lost when you're at max level?
Yes
So the step "For want a memory" it says either farm in southern front or specific fates outside of Bozja,when the new Bozja area opens up can we still get this memories in the new area instead in the southern front ?
It says southern front specifically
So
They might update to add "and Zadnor"
But 🤷♂️
doesnt everything say southern front?
Because the zone IS the bojzan southren front
ye, so maybe its like eureka in that its all zones, theres just the one now
And Zadnor isnt
yup
There's other sabo weapons there
A friend is levelling an archer and now at lvl 40, having done 'sylph management' and 'the one that got away', but the guild master wont give them the 'a song of bards and bowmen' quest. The puligist lvl 15 requirement was removed, am i missing something? Help appreciated
One for each job, except Shadowbringers ones
It shows under the main scenario tracker
Do those
And click it to show where it is
The job quest does?
If they did the lvl 30 archer quest the next quest shown there will be the first bard quest
as soon as it's available
Thats the point, it should be available to take but the quest giver doesnt have any quests
But the pre-requisit quests have been cleared
is there any quest under their current msq in the top left?
Be cool mascots
The current quest on msq is 'the rose and the unicorn', its way past sylph management
and nothing below that?
The one undee it
i thought sabotenders were ones in the tuxedo
Nope
and without is called cactuar
The little one that walks around the place
Also are they on the archer class right now?
Archer currently yes
Screenshot the scenario tracker
Also open armoury chest and check the bottom right slot
Dunno what to tell you tbh, unless they already started the bard quest and just forgot
She hasnt done the quest to get the armoury box yet tho, also checked her inventory in case it was that
the armoury chest doesnt need to be unlocked
Screenshot both
it's just your gear inventory
and there is a category for soulstones in the bottom right
look in there to make sure they don't already have the stone
Alright its official, im dumb. Issue sorted, she had the soul stone, she mustn't have clicked the soul stone bit on her gear when i told her earlier and on a different bit instead cause it was empty 🥲 thankyou for your help both
Thought so

Whats futures rewritten?
Name for patch 5.4
Ok
how do i get rid of my orchestron scrolls in my inventory?
Use them
Right click -> use?
does that mean i have it already
If they're faded copies you need to craft them into proper rolls
if you already have it, there’ll be a message
where can I spend poetics?
All main cities or mor dhona for level 50 stuff
Not difficult but more cumbersome ¯_(ツ)_/¯
In the cities, talk to the rowena's splendors vendor near the aetheryte
Is there a keybind i can click to switch that 1 to be a 2? If so my life will get alot better 🥲
Omg never mind i found it HOLY
can i send ingame mails to other characters on the same server thats on my account ? like gil or such
do new jobs start at level 1?
Base jobs yes
There's work arounds like putting the items on a retainer so they access it
Expansion jobs no
Damn never mind its not prqctical enough since id have to scroll Beetween 10 of them
Retainers aren't shared
You mean the FC chest
When they're in the same fc with access
well you can have retainers sell items but yeah you're correct
OH ok thanks
I was trying to find clarifications on,ine i didnt know if it ment literal or not
Its funny however many questions i ever ask you guys never get annoyed
Or like attack me for it lol
If you miss it we can accommodate and be mean though 
lol
Miss it 0-0 ive never seen u guys be mean yet
Guess i gotta check here more often
Btw whats a good amount of gil i got 430k
i have 11 mil and im still considered broke lol
Honestly it varies person to person
at least in terms of glam and housing
I got 50 mil and that's only because I stopped being bothered to get more gil
It's not a hard thing to really get especially when you get into crafting
yeah, it's just hard now because end of expac and there isn't much demand for crafted items (nor are there new ones)
well, "hard"
a player who only play for story, 100k is already more than enough for his need.
a player who is hard core crafter, 100m is not enough for his need (day 1).
Woah
Heavily exaggerated but kinda true in point
if im at role #4 dps waiting, and the party has 4 dps, does it mean im the fourth dps of the first party or the first dps of the fourth party?
Does stunning a enemy become weaker after doing it more then twice?
Its halfed every use
Ooooo intresting
After the 3rd they're immune for a minute
in, PF, if I set something as min ilevel, that means people below the specified average item level can't join correct?
Yes

So as a gladiator i just got a second stun ability so im curious is 3 stuns the limit over all or is it 3 per skill that has stun?
Its the max
Over all?
Its the max duration before diminishing returns
The first use will stun for the duration listed
Ogcd?...
Off global cooldown
Ye what im asking tho is like
Ok here
Ability 1 5 secs / ability 2 6 secs
If i use ability 2 the next time it will be 3 secs
If i decide to use ability 1 second will it be 5 secs or 2.5 secs?
2.5
2.5
Ok so over all i only need one stun ability
:I ok
One is a GCD and the other is an oGCD
Meaning
Well shield bash itself is basically near useless
this is far more important than the stun duration which really isn't important.
Just for the sake of clarity, regardless of their additional properties, oGCD are just free damage
Shield bash sucks because it uses up a GCD
where you could have been doing your damage rotation.
Low Blow is weaved between GCDs.
It's free.
No loss.
Single target damage oGCD and AOE damage oGCD are good for both single target and AOE scenario
Oh i think i get it lemme try
Since it is just more damage you can weave in
Low Blow has no damage
There's never anything that needs to be chained stunned
So shield bash loses further value
Oh, oops
Shield bash just isn't that useful.
Wouldn't be surprised if its cut in the expansion
!action interrupt
Interrupts are different again
Yeah, I won't be surprised if shield bash is gone, or changed to oGCD in Endwalker
Wo abilitys that dont have damage arent skill cooldown locked?
What's the question?
It's not a question of whether something has damage or not.
That has no bearing.
There are many damaging oGCD abilities in the game.
Ok
The key here is how they fit into your damage rotation
Ability, or oGCD, can be weaved in between your GCD cooldown
Shield Bash has some damage but using it is a significant damage loss compared to doing a GCD of your regular damage rotation
Low Blow is simply weaved in between for free
/\
So using Low Blow is a damage gain over using Shield Bash.
!faq weaving
So in theory i should get rid of shield bash kinda
shield bash is useless yeah
Yeah
Shield Bash is 110 potency, which is 90 potency less than your least-damaging regular dps attack, Fast Blade at 200 potency
Ye
Well I wouldn't delete it from your hotbar, it's not totally useless in all situations
Until i get better wbilitys one day
to say nothing of how it changes how your rotation will line up with burst windows.
I'd just put it somewhere not important
ye
Shield Bash can be very situationally useful in a bad pinch where you need to stun several things, or something
Next to your tank stance, maybe
^
Sheidl bash stuns multiple enemys?
No
You use it multiple times
not at once but your only other stun has like, a 30 second cooldown
But you can use it repeatedly
Low Blow has a 25s recast time
It would be very useful if it can AOE stun
Ye for real
But it doesn't
That's holy's job
Truth be told i like to keep my hotbar minimal
Heres what it looks like most people cringe
Most paladins dont really hotkey shield bash
its fine they're a work in progress
though sorting abilities would probably help compartmentalize what they do a bit better
You will need 3 hotbars at level 80.
I dont like clicking numbers up above as it makes me lose where im at on my keys reaching up
Nevaaaa 😫
Yes.
🥲
Not up for debate.
Not up for debate.
paladin is probably the only job where almost all of my hotbars are filled up
Yeah, please don't remove skills to keep your hotbar clean
This ain't the memes channel, take necessary advice
Idk how people can do all that
the power of keybinds
All jobs need 3 hotbars at 80.
You use basically all of your skills at max level, save for one or two niche ones.
This game needs 3 hotbars at 80.
Like shield bash for PLD
All jobs need anywhere from 24-32 ish slots
Don't remove skills.
If you're not using all your skills then you're not meeting the bare minimum for contributing to your group
And you probably won't even be able to complete solo duties
It's not acceptable.
This is not a preference or a cuz we said so thing
Man people really having to click on keybinds such as p and m reaching sll the way over during combat is crazy
You don't have to do that?
Then place them in more convenient spots
You use shift, ctrl and alt as modifiers
Most people dont click
That too
you have additional mouse buttons too from what i can see so
Ye i do
Alternatively, if you are more comfortable with controller
This game works well with them too
As you have a mouse with additional buttons, you can use keymap software to map them to shift/alt/ctrl and use them as your modifiers.
You have more options than most people
In all honesty it would be nice for a keybind to let me A delete hotbars 4-10 and then make it so i have to click one button to scroll up beetween hotbars
If u get what i mean
The game dont let me delete em tho
Hotbar switching isn't really viable.
It would be if it had that option
Not at the pace of endgame.
Controller play does have options similar to hotbar switching which are viable because of the way they're laid out.
But you should just have three hotbars visible on screen.
I dont like xo trollers cus they are flimsy and break easier then a mouse and keyboard
Minew still fine after 6 years
Idk how
You can plug an xbox/playstation/switch pro controller into your computer and use it.
If you're buying like bootleg cheapo controllers "for PC gaming" then yes they'll probably be flimsy and bad
But the controllers by the three major gaming console companies are solid.
Certainly sturdier than the average keyboard or mouse tbh
Keyboards are very flimsy objects generally.
Xbox is all ife ever used my entire life
Ife had 10 controllers 7 of them cus of the stick dragging
And 3 parts coming lose
Idk how that boi has had one for 6 years
Bojza relic weapon, which refinements am I aiming for if I'm a Nin?
how much content is there besides questing?
like when i hit level cap and finish the story
is there still a lot to do?
Endgame gearing
Well you'd have all your other jobs, raids, relic content, dailies and whatever other content they decide to add (like Ishgard restoration for ShB)
Or do contents from previous endgame: collecting mount, doing relic weapons for fashion, etc
I'm a returner and leveling botany for the first time and I've been stuck on this "Seeds Know No Borders" quest, finally splurged and bought some better gear for higher perception but I still can't find HQ Chysahl Greens by Dragonspit in Coerthas Western Highlands with 574 perception, is there something I'm doing wrong or do I still need better gear?
Iirc, that one is RNG, you need to open and check each nodes
How to increase the frequency of crit damage?
Check all 6 botany nodes, and repeat, and you should be able to find it
Add more crit stat
Ok. How do I get crit materia?
Like battle litany and chain strat
Crit stat improve the chance of crit, and the damage multiplier of crit
Content at 80 throws materia at you...dungeons...weekly nier raid for clusters...treasure maps...bojza lock boxes
Just a friendly reminder, if you aren't level 80, then don't worry about improving your crit
I have these materia that give +20 stats. Can I combine 3 of those to get the +60 one?
I'm currently at 5.4, so
Let's just say no
Transmutation needs 5 materia and it has a very low chance to upgrade to the next tier
Not reliable
And its random what you get out
So
And it is not guaranteed which kind
Technically yes, practically hell no

And will the next Nier raid directly give the i520 gear? Or some tokens like the Eden raids?
Direct
directly
Thanks for the help, I'll keep looking around
Direct, once per week
It will drop token, but for different purpose
@fluid bay that's just off the top of my head, if you still can't find it, ask here again and see if others can provide you with a better answer
I remember finding mine on the north west north of the map, near a small pool inside a crater
Someone on another Discord said it's an unspoiled node and only spawns in a small window every Eorzean day
For future reference, Garlandtools or Garland Bell are good website to look up for gathering items and time window
(Garlandtool does more, but I will let you explore what you can do with it)
Ahhh so if I'm on Sargatanas my ET is 7:36pm so I still have another 24 minutes until it spawns?
Each eorzean minute is 3 seconds or so
ET is faster than real time
Oooo
So each hour is 3 minutes
holy shit that's confusing
And thats why we have Garlandbell/Teamcraft
They have alerts and countdowns
For unspoiled nodes
Unspoiled nodes have spawn timers too, right?
Yes, that's what the item you want is in
They're the nodes that spawn at a specific time of day
I only got one from the unspoiled node so I'll have to wait for it to spawn again 😭
They usually spawn in both Am and PM so its not too long
Okay, thanks again for all the help & info!!
You can see if there’s cheap ones on the market board
New player here,
I've just purchased the game off steam and when i attempt to launch the game i receive this error message. I've tried looking on the forums but most of them won't even load. Any help is greatly appreciated
Something that seems to sometimes cause that is an overprotective firewall
How would I go about resolving this?
I don’t play on PC so I can’t tell you how your firewall works ¯_(ツ)_/¯
This might be another solution too
FFXIV launcher uses Internet Explorer even if it’s not a browser you use
tl;dr turn off windows firewall and your antivirus (I hope it's a single one) and see if FFXIV is still being a shit
That unfortunately did not work. I disabled my antivirus as well as firewall
alternatively, update internet explorer
I saw that in a forum and used the recommended settings that one of the mods posted. That did not work either
Is <call> still a thing?
If so, I can't seem to recall how to do it ><
I thought it was <call.se1>
<call> was ffxi, <se.1> would work 🙂

do you just discard extra field notes?
Trade them to the resistance historian
Can i use sweetFX or ENB for this game??
nope but gshade exists
it is a Reshade?
a version of reshade tailor made for ffxiv yeah
kk thx
how do i get rid of the number next to my hotbar?
for example next to my first hotbar there's a 1
i am kinda confused in the fan event the 8 player mount is it buyable on the online store or ingame with ingame currency ?
Online store.
thanks it was vague i didn't knew but that means you will get nothing in the event
or will they like show the rewards later on?
I'm not sure what you mean
previous events there was always some reward for it when you participate in it
like for example the abes set and yuna set
Yeah, this time it's all just being sold on the online store at the same time as the event.
both of those were from purchasing the digital ticket or going to fanfest itself
so it's store timed exclusive for the event
Not timed
since there's no ticket this time (its completely free) and no physical fanfest to go to
It'll go up and stay there
its going to be put directly on the store
the point is that set i mentioned was more like a gift of participation of being in the event
It was part of buying a ticket.
Everyone can participate.
which is how you got the previous year's fanfest goodies
in the ticket it was described that the fee was for the set as well?
like a receipt?
No
that's not really necessary or relevant
The items were a bonus given to those who purchased tickets.
so that's what i was talking about
This time around, there are no tickets, but they still want to sell commemorative items.
a bonus gift for anyone who purchased the tickets
It makes no functional difference.
again there is no physical fanfest or digital ticket to buy
i know that
still the difference is you bought ticket enjoyed the activities and even got a reward for it
Whether it's put on a receipt or termed a "bonus" makes no functional difference for the consumer.
seems different for me
Fact is, part of what you received for paying the money was the ingame items.
well i don't know the pricing of the ticket is tho
Doesn't matter, they set prices as they like, it doesn't change the nature of what the arrangement was and it doesn't mean that the items back then were "free".
Anyone with Comcast still have issues keeping a stable connection on FF?
Need some help here. I just logged in and I find myself in some room with a window that says Support Desk. I can't close the window and do anything other than run around
Is there a way to log in without announcing in the chat that you've logged in?
No, but it's only your Free Company that sees that.
Is anybody familiar with my situation? I don't know what's going on
Check your map--sounds like you're in Mordion Gaol
AKA GM jail.
A GM should appear and talk to you eventually.
Jail? What the hell?
i don't suppose there's a "mapping the realm" achievement for that location?

Hunt train.
Thank you guys 🤍 Gonna be needing a lot for the ||Machinist Lux|| weapon
How many?
Well 2000 only got me about 1/4th of the way through one of the stages
So i'd say i need around 6000 more
Yeah I've done it once a long time ago for the bard, but wanna do it again xD
Definitely gonna be the last time this time
Is it me or FFXIV and website is slow?
The game isn't lagging for me, but I haven't tried the website
the us' west coast area have some server problems apparently
Started this week. I'm on fiber everything else is fast
is there any way to troubleshoot network lag spikes?
does this apply to you?
whats your bozja setup for healer dps? profane seraph?
Non-standard comps are those without the usual numbers of tanks/healers/dps or with duplicate jobs
When do I actually need Spellstring?
Does it affect the mobs in the zones or certain enemies in Castrum and Delubrum?
I’m new I think looking for husting strip is driving me crazy lol
Anyone care to lmk how to get there every time I get close it disappears so I assume it’s above me but I don’t see where
Take the lift from the south end of the Ruby Road Exchange in the Steps of Nald
or go up the stairs in the Steps of Thal
I’m south of exchange I don’t see a lift just 2 doors I can’t use
Enemies it's useful against will have a buff indicating as such -- you don't need it anywhere but DR Savage, but you do benefit in southern front and CLL against certain enemies. It does nothing in DR normal.
Thank you I found it took 2hrs lol I guess I was so irritated that I jus stop trying

If I remember correctly, they don't. I know SCH and AST shields don't
ye dont use shield ast with sch
But shield stacking is a bit more specific than that
Frankly, dont use shield AST unless progging, not even with a WHM it is worth it
Asp shields dont but neutral, and intersection do stack with adlo/ succor shields iirc
does anyone have a transparent gif of an aether current? I want to go RP in some discord chats
I've now got 3 level 80s, but my MSQ is level 78. Would it be worth it to level something to 78 to take advantage of the last two or so levels of MSQ XP
say, gunbreaker
which is already 60 obv
It is worth it yes, cuz you get an EXP net gain
idk what you mean by that.
But is your time worth it tho?
Well I'm going to level gunbreaker and astrologian next anyways.
It means you dont lose EXP from doing MSQ on an already maxed job
Right
what?
WHM lilies, do they take a certain amount of seconds to charge or is there more to it?
30 seconds a lily in combat
30 seconds
Perfect, thank you.
gauge pauses out of combat
Make sure not to cap too
Times nicely with dia and assize, then
EXP at level cap is lost, what are you talking about
Read 
That's exactly what he was saying
^
oh missed the convo
personally, I'd just finish the MSQ at that point
that's what
one 10 minute dungeon run?
since 79 to 80 you have to have a level 80 job anyways for a level 79 quest due to role quest requirement
Yeah, its about what you value most anyway, at some point you get everything to 80 and EVERYTHING is an exp loss
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I was just trying to decide whether I agree on if it even matters anymore at MSQ level 78
tbh
I don't think it's that much a of a waste. I'll probably just do the rest at 80
Doesnt really matters, but i couldnt stand "wasting EXP" so i did lvl another job for it
, its a game anyway, so if you wanna keep progressing the story on a job you are already comfy as, just stick to your 80
Well, tbh what I actually want to do is get gear for DRK so that i can do it on DRK without feeling severely undergeared as my MSQ approaches my actual level.
DRK is 403 as of right now
whereas I have an exarchic set that RDM and BLM can both use
but DRK is the one I wanted to finish it on
Oh, this will take a lot of time
Yea I'm sure.
idk how to even gear before finishing MSQ
other than wasting a fuckload of gil on another exarchic set
Oh, well MSQ gives you those weird gear coffers that are good enough for MSQ
You use it on your "main"

Ok... now, just do the MSQ w Exarchic gear, then do this
Once you are about to finish MSQ, you'll unlock phase 1 artifact gear(iLVL 430, only rightside, no belt and no accesories)
Slap that on, your iLVL should be a bit higher now, lvl 80 dungeons should net you accesories

There is no easy way to really gear up on pre-MSQ sadly
I suggest you finish MSQ with one of yer lvl 80 already geared jobs
Which of the augment shire earrings are made for dancer?
Aiming
all 3 say all classes
Lemme find ot
One sec, this is gonna be uhh... weird, but
Is it the one with dexterity as the main focus
Conservator yes
Ranged Physical DPS+NIN=Dexterity
Ah okay
Tank+melee DPS=STR(Tank also has Vitality as a main focus, but i slapped on the STR one cuz i was like "hehe")
Healer Mind, and caster Intelligence, that's basically it, when in doubt
When does daily beast tribes reset?
You can check on #kupo-bot-spam with the command !reset
It resets on the "Daily Reset"
Ah, thanks
fending = tanks
healing = healers
striking = MNK and SAM, left side
maiming = DRG, left side
slaying = MNK SAM DRG accessories
scouting = NIN, left side
aiming = ranged physical + NIN accessories
casting = ranged magical
is there a legacy or whatever reason why melee gears are soo ... specific?
NIN use dex instead of str, that's why theirs are separate
and DRG is somewhat legacy from the time where they had tankier gear from ARR iirc

Dragoon and tanks shared some leveling gear in ARR, also had different MDEF values in the case of DRG. I think it's not as relevant atm.
NIN shares accessories with ranged as well (as mentioned above)
it's been playing the intense-action song ever since I took the big freight elevator up to the northern part of kholusia, no matter what area of it i'm in unless I go into one of those solo duties
and it's so weird and unfitting, I feel like it's not supposed to.
it's just getting grating so I ended up muting my BGM for the moment, is it supposed to play that song in northern kholusia?
anyone here playing on PS4/PS5 using MMO mouse? any recommended mmo mouse? looking to get one
@halcyon radish the default battle music?
@remote lintel no, the solo duty music. this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSMvTFHW1yQ&ab_channel=FFXIVOSTArchive
just playing it everywhere instead of the zone theme, I thought maybe it's supposed to in northern kholusia for this part of the MSQ but that is just silly
it's way too large an amount of time for that one song to play
yes it is if youre in that part of msq
That's irritating. It's going to just play that all the way from the Ladder getting fixed to when we go up to mt. gulg?

it might change to the other "intense things are happening" music
but basically yes
yea I'm just gonna pull up the regular kholusia music, thanks.
A requirement for a mouse like that would have to be saved configs to internal memory as you can't set it up on the PS5 due to said software not being able to be downloaded on the PS5. I don't use one, but my Logitech mouse has been pretty trusty all these years. Corsair and Razer I've also heard good things about.
I got a question regarding squall's gunblade in the collector's edition.. is it an account wide gear or is it a single character one?
Yea i heard it must have an onboard memory on it, is that logitech g600?
collectors edition items are account wide
All logitech G mice have internal memory as far as I know
Double check the website before you order
I see, thank you.. and wiill there be a sale again of the collector's edition?
Mogstation or SE store?
Do note if you already own the expansion you'll have to buy it through Mogstation CE upgrade
i have the expansion already
I don't believe the CE upgrade ever goes on sale
I might be wrong, though.
Probably.
I don't think I've seen it go on sale
Do WoL ex weapons desynth into anything useful? Just wondering if I should actually keep my totems if I get the dragon before I get to 99 totems
Pleasee anyoneeeeee , how the hell can I heal Hein in the Will of moon quest
wtffffffff
And no, you can't just buy the SE store collectors edition and apply it to your account, since you already own the expansion
Thanks mate
😭
target hien > press cure 2
(well, cure of the seventh dawn in this case)
I tried to do that. I clliked on him and like it wouldn't heal him...
I do not understand
¯_(ツ)_/¯
let me try this again
were you actually letting it cast
for the 100 time
if your cast bar says INTERRUPTED of couse you aren't healing him
How do I see which dungeons are in the daily roulettes?
sigh
how long is your usual dr run?
between 25-40 minutes is teh average range on time
does whm learn anything from lvl 70 quest?
ye every job learns smth in their lvl 70 job quest

where in the settings can I find the cross-hotbar option?
system config
sorry but where exactly? I can't seem to find it
What is the timezone for the light cluster server? Im trying to schedule a wedding and me and my friends time are a 1hour difference and we dont know what slot to choose
oh its character config
not system
@slate wave it shows you time slots in your local time
thank you!
Sorry if this is a bad question but I set up a bunch of extra hotbar spaces for like menu and extra stuff but I don't know what I should put in them? Anythings I should like really add besides like class/job switching?
inventories?
I mean, if you don't need them.. Get rid of them?
armoury chest, inventory, chocobo saddlebag
If you don't have a reason for the clutter.. Why add it?
Oh I mean they arent in the way really, more was just wondering what are like the really helpful stuff.
Thank you cerberus that is really helpful! Ill add those.
If you're really set on adding a bunch of buttons, the things I find I often look at are timers, the challenge log and duty finder window
ahh ok Ill add those too, thankyou! I honestly just like having a bunch of shortcuts for stuff even if it is a bit cluttered.
And if you're leveling 50-80, the aether compass
Most of the shortcuts for various menus are in the “menu” section of actions and traits
sprint, limit break, markers, waymarks, teleport tickets, food and potions
Sprint should be hotkeyed, full stop
Ill start putting all those in and organizing them! Thankyou all for the input I appreciate it! Ill also get some macros I think!
oh also stuff like waymarks/ready check/countdown timer
@leaden ginkgo do look in to #protips-and-ui for the pins on how to make macros into an interactive ui menu
Keep in mind macro + GCD = absolutely not and macro +oGCD = extreme caution
will save a bit of space and give you more options on how to customize those hotbars
If you're really into ui customization I would recommend looking into the quicklauncher, it features things like custom hotbars and better macro functionality
Oh yeah Ill look at that! I saw someone do this whole video where they had a whole menu apart of an entirely different hud to change the classes, is it similar to that?
what do you mean by that?
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
for teh other question
How do I check if I have a specific Orchestrion Scroll? Unsure if I already bought the Decisions from Moogle.
macros inherently do not use the queuing system of the game
open the orchestrion list and you can search using teh magnifying glass button
if its dark text you have it, light text you don't
ohhh, like actual stuff for combat? I wasn't thinking about doing it for that
Where is said list?
ctrl+o is the default command
Abilities in this game are queued to fire ASAP, to limit the damage caused by latency. Macros do not benefit from this, which means any macro'd ability has an inherent lag of (your latency)
Many thanks that worked!
Also thats really cool! Ill have to decide if I like that job switching more then the other one
If you're not doing combat stuff with macros you don't need to be concerned
yeah, more for stuff, hud related, or to automate certain things out of combat is what I was thinking
is there anyway to sell all my extra armor pieces not in the market but like to a side vendor or something
You can turn in pink/green/blues for company seals after a certain rank
Which can then be used for a variety of useful and less useful items
Most of them have a (fairly trivial) vendor sale cost
The other option is desynth if you have crafters leveled
de synth huh
Which turns them into materials
Which.. you'd probably want to market. I'm assuming you're on the free trial?
Because unfortunately the reality of that is you're probably just going to have to trash stuff to manage your inventory
In that case, you probably want to market them unless you're not concerned with Gil at all.
The vendor prices are very low.
Similarly, any way to see which maps I already posess?
Depends on the quest, but you can't generally turn them in as doh/l even if you can accept them on them
I see
wait if i wanna start desynthasising do i need like lvl 30 in everything?
or do i just need it in one area?
You need level 30 for each crafter you want to desynth for.
Just 30
Yep. But you don’t need to level past that for endgame stuff
So even level 80 stuff can be desynthed with a level 30
And there’s no chance of failure
oh is lvl 30 the max?
Crafters go to 80
Level 30 unlocks the ability to desynth
But leveling up past 30 means nothing in terms of desynth
well i need diisciples of desipline 30 to get access to it
I have a few dungeons I have to run but no one seems to be running them. I was told to "unsync" but I'm not sure what that is..
nvm i need diciples of hand lvl 30
also how do i repair gear
it wont let me
im not a high enough lvl i guess is there anyone i can go to to repair it?
There are repair npcs in every inn
nvm used google a bit more on reddit they said hammer
ok thanks for trying tho
noty in a sarcastic way in a appreciate way
Also on repairing you also need high quality no ugh level dark matter
Grade 7 dark matter works on all gear, yeah?
Yeah
It should
Click on the gear in the top panel of duty finder and select ‘undersized party’. You will go in without matchmaking but your gear/level won’t be synced down.
Is it possible to have a search active so that if anyone puts up for example "Shiryu" in the Party Finder I get a notification? Or I just have to check every now and then?
but if the content i wanna run is near my level i'd be squished right?
Yep. If it’s incredibly hard to get into and it’s required for the story, the idea is to look in party finder for a level 80 to undersize it with you.
I'm level 55 and the dungeons are level.. 50!
ehhhhhhhh yeah it'd be best to queue for them at that point
Oooh I need a polite high level person to run it, otherwise I can't and should just wait!
Gotcha, okay thanks guys that helps so much.
I carried a friend through all dungeons up to the level 69 one as my healer for reference, they were a dps.
You can create a filter for a specific duty in party finder and then the notifications will relate to that filter until you change/remove the filter or log out
Im trying to buy this on the marketboard but its a bit too expensive, is there a way to know how much the materials cost for this so I can maybe get a crafter to craft it for me?
Thanks I'll try that!

Do you need taumaturge to unlock white mage?
No you need conjurer
