A blade with a gun barrel attached
it's the weapon gunbreakers use
It shoot and it stab
Well not exactly shooting like a gun
also actually different because the garleans have blades with barrels attached to it
Hm but then how do you know if you’re suffering from high ping versus just really high skill speed?
the gunblade doesn't have a barrel
A gunblade uses the bulletd to cause the blade to vibrate
From the explosion
For additional damage
Regardless it's a blade with like, cartridges and it kinda shoot
That's a little more FF8 than FF14 but whatever
point is made I think now
I don’t get Gaius’s weapon. Doesn’t the flare at the end of the blade block the bullet?
how many different ninjutsu combos are there •__•
7
so it's a reverse bayonet? :p
If we get into which weapons make sense and which do not this whole game falls appart
kind of
oh dang
Well nintsus themselves
So true
The barrel is off to the side on the wrong axis to the flare so it's fine
Fuma. Raiton, Katon, hyoton, suiton, doton and huton
1 for 1 symbol
so you’d have to memorize 7 different nintsu combos?
@rough fossil skill speed doesn't affect the time between pressing a skill and the skill going off, ping does
Kinda
It's not exactly memorizing for most people tbh
oh wait the last nintsu you cast will be the skill right?
The important thing to remember is the ending Mudra
Yeah it's only the important end
ohh okies that simplifies it alot
The only thing that matters is which mudra to end on
And obviously don't repeat mudras
can't use the same mudra twice in a row though
Most people put mudras in a row so they can do 1 2 3 for Suiton
Bunny funny
thanks :P I shall play ninja and samurai to satisfy my weebish desires
I play on controller so I just memorize patterns like up down side
There are 7 different ninjitsu combos? Yikes, doesn’t sound too friendly for my PS4 config then
well still only 3 mudra
It's really not bad on PS4
so only 3 buttons
I play controller and it's easy
Yeah it's just three mudras
Just set up your 3 mudras so they make sense to you on the crossbars, and you'll be fine.
Can you fit everything on 2 hotbars?
One mudra on L r and down and the execute or whatever up top
Yes
yes
That exact setup
ohh okies that’s super simple... I was thinking 7 fucking Mudras lmao
I usually do them with Ten (heaven) on top, Chi (earth) on bottom, and Jin (man) in between.
imagine ninja with 7 mudra and 49 combo skills •__•
I have mine on up left down and right is the execute
They don't even use every possible combination with the 3 mudra we have
If they wanted to, there could be more
Just 3 2 mudra combos depending on which one you use last
3 3 mudra combos depending on which one you use last
And the shuriken
it’d be like this rock paper scissors lmao
That you should never use out side of ten chi jin
Then I just memorized the combos with mnemonics like Ten-Chi = Raiton because lightning goes from heaven to earth.
you have plenty of time to memorize the mudras as you level
the game doesn't just throw 7 skills at you at once
does the patch on Tues allow us to buy the SoSex mount with totems?
This brings me back to memorizing Sabin’s combos
perfect :P
and ninjas unlocked at level 10 with the mudras? or rogue also gets mudras
30
ohh okies
rogue doesnt have them
Rogues are just rogues.
the stab things
you get 1 mudra at 30
Rogues don't get to do ninja magic
anyone know what this hair is called?
Looks like one of the default female hairstyles
the headpiece you get from the paladin quest but thank you!
will ShB soundtracked be released on spotify when ew comes out?

you get to limsa lominsa at level 15 right? I’m planning on starting as a Lancer then switch to rogue at level 10 once i get to limsa lominsa
I’d be a bit under leveled for the quests because i think rogue starts at level 1 once i unlock it?
Someone posted some hotkey sets, where they had a bunch of hotkeys. You pressed one, and another set of hotkeys opened so you could choose job. How do you set that up?
@forest bronze Yeah it's a level 15 Main Scenario quest to move between cities, when you switch you'll indeed be lvl 1 but getting back to 10-15 shouldn't be too hard if you do your class quests and clear your hunting log maybe.
You'll need your lv10 job quest to switch jobs
oh okies thanks for the help! :P
@lethal mist One way to do this is to use a macro that basically copies a hotbar onto an other and make use of a class hotbars you have unlocked the job for. For instance on my Gladiator I have my hotbar filled with the gearsets buttons and my Paladin has the actual skills.
The main command you'll be using will be something like /hotbar copy PLD 1 share 10 as well as /hotbar display 10 on (or off), it's a bit annoying to prepare but worth it. Also you'd definitely find more proper guides online.
Advanced macros idk how to do them ask in #protips-and-ui?
Thanks I'll look int omacros then. I've recently started leveling other jobs and the switching could def be easier. Also can I make "global" hotkeys? Like a set that doesn't change when I change classes?
Or is that the same: macro?
Can I cap nuts over the weekend
Do I need quest or just join a train
Several trains
How do I world hop
A ranks give 40 nuts so that would be 100 a rank kills to cap
@lethal mist I think the global hotkeys you want are basically all the buttons you have on shared hotbars (System > Character configuration > Hotbar Settings > Sharing), not sure I understood correctly though.
I was trying to get some gear on Tues with them but dang thats a lot of..hunting lol
I meant one set of hotbars that doesn't change when I switch characters. Maybe I'm using the terminology wrong. Wherever your skills are. Soon as I switch, they all change. Can I have one of the NOT do so which I have all class jobs hooked onto?
Toggle sharing off
@lethal mist Yeah yeah then that's it, shared hotbars
Character config > hotbars > sharing
That's what an unshared hotbar does
Turn it on to keep it the same when you swap
Does he mean like between different toons?
@warm snow is there a choice in the menu or something for world jump
No he meant different classes "Like a set that doesn't change when I change classes?"
Thanks I'll try shared!
you need to go to the major city aetherytes, click on them, go to "Visit another world"
Kk just checking
Ok I got a question about how the lvl syncs works, specifically I'd like to get the best setup I can for Bozja. I can't find any relevant info online, does one of you have some good info, a link? Should I try #endgame-lounge ?
in the case of Bozja, everything syncs to il430
this has resulted in situations where BLM and WHM shields have accidentally become BiS
Once you're in the menu it's very straightforward
Lmao really?
The shields as bis thing isn't really relevant
Shields give a small block chance for like 1 less substat
Its a nonfactor
As far as I can tell it sets your stats to just straight 430 with pre determined substats, as long as there's a piece of gear in the slot. If you want a faster GCD you have to get Haste from the Augmented Resistance Gear
Bur you cant block while casting so
Alright, so in my case I'm playing SCH, currently finishing the 495 set with haste, and I thought maybe I should meld DH on it, but given what you're telling me I guess I'm wrong, it won't change anything?
Its not really significant enough to matter
Melds don't matter when synced
Perfect, thank you very much friends!
want to be sure before I make a purchase because I've read different things: If I have a non-steam account with ARR+HW but I purchase the steam complete edition, can I login through steam with my non-steam account?
no
Steam is completely separate on licences
they are completely independent of each other - once you choose one (regular PC or Steam), you have to stay with it
ok good to know, thanks
you used to be able to use the regular launcher to log in with a steam account but this is no longer relevant as they locked down this in 5.1.
you'd be wasting your money if you decided to buy the complete edition on steam and attempt to apply it to a regular mogstation account
So I just got kicked out of the Novice network suddenly
it was immediatly after I finsihed "A requim for heros" and im confused how do I get back
you don't - you graduated out
oh..
You hit the milestone
what's the point of capping nuts for next patch?
once you've passed so-many hours, and Stormblood MSQ is completed, you lose sprout
but im still new I dont know everything
Buying Cryptlurker upgrades
and i feel like people would be more harsh to me without sprout status
168 hours playtime or SB MSQ iirc
I heard people say its possible to go back as a crafting mentor and also faster
will cryptlurker upgrade be the same as how we upgraded the crystarium stuff last patch?
whats the best starter crafting trade that will help me more on the long run?
yeah
Identical ues
so nuts is just a different way to get that stuff, basically
The cycle continues
It's either nuts or savage or the Nier raid
Does cooking count toward crafting mentor?
Yeah
depends what you want to do with it, a lot of the guides that explain what classes to do first aren't really useful anymore bc afaik they updated the crafting system recently. if you want to make money i guess i'd do weaver/leatherworker if you wanna craft smth immediately for patch, cooking makes good money too bc food is always useful
You need a gatherer too
dang
best way to level in my experience has been getting classes to 20 then doing ishgardian restoration but it is an extreme money sink if you don't have gatherers
so should I go Botany?
The thing about crafting is that you need to do them all together if you want to make money
Self sufficiency is how you get money
You also have to do the required amounts of crafting and gathering collectibles too
would botanisti and culnarian be a good combo?
yes
alright ill go with that then!
You also need miner
I do?
For the waters and salts
miner isn't too necessary for cooking
if you have the money to buy em
if your goal is just 80
im only at 300k gil atm
yeah i would level miner then
OOOh wait
should I go buy the thing that boosts exp for crafting from GC
i have a lot of seals that i wasnt sure what to dump
yeah fisher is avoidable
It boosts exp gained from crafting so it doesn't hurt to get a couple if you're in the level range
yes, the survival manuals are v. useful, also if ur in an fc/have control over an fc/find an fc that puts on the crafting bonuses they're good too
Ill go buy some then!
for ishgard resto, you can look up macros online for all the crafts!
Its pinned in #doh-dol-lounge
even better lol
so next patch, if we're taking cryptlurker from 520 to 530, are we also taking exarchic from 510 to 520? is the exarchic stuff overmeldable, i can't remember, i'm assuming no?
Its not a crafted item anymore technically so its not overmeldable
got it, so the augmented cryptlurker stuff is gonna be the best stuff to get next patch?
Were also likely getting a bozja set with the 5.55
So bis may change in may
But for now full aug cryptlurker would be it
ah yes that's what i meant! i'm not into raiding yet, but how does raid stuff get better in patches if there isn't a raid tier to go through anymore?
cool, ty :]
The raid tier isn't over
it isn't?
You have until 6.0 to clear it if you want to
Each raid tier technically lasts 2 major patch lengths
ohhh wait, so the 530 stuff from eden is still gonna be better then aug crypt?
5.4 was the start of edens promise
or am i wrong there
Substat dependant
Substats
Main stats and vitality are the same per piece at equivalent ilvl
Relic weapon will likely be bis for everyone though
anyone ever use this on ps4/ps5

do u guys think story skip is wurf the money
not if its your first character
If you're not at all interested in story it can be
But that is a main draw of the game
is there a way to look only for interactable foods in the food crafting menu?
im not particularly interested, but i dont want to buy it and then not have any content after story
The story is the main content of the game.
i have a couple friends to play with, thats the main reason
the story is like 75% of the game so
There's still content that isn't the story, but it's mostly endgame stuff.
at endgame you have like, 4 raids and a couple EXs for current content
it took me over 500 hours to finish shadowbringers, rushing MSQ can be tiresome if you're not that much into the franchise, in retrospect I wouldn't have wasted so much time if I had story skipped
and we arent getting any more raid tiers in at least 6 months
I thought we were getting more on 5.5
no one knows?
Alliance raids don't offer max-level gear.
5.5 would be the second major patch since its release
most of those would be in the housing section for cul
nvm found it
What do they offer
Besides NieR raids having thot glam
The Alliance raid gear is... 5 ilevels? 10 ilevels? below augmented tomestone gear.
I forget.
same ilvl as unaugmented tomestone
So 10 ilevels
are the nier raids as fun as ivalice raids?
Yes
Yes
so 520
Yes, I've thoroughly enjoyed them. And the Alliance Raids give you tokens for augmenting gear. That's their main draw, really.
And minions/rolls/thot glam
how viable is poggers glam collection without buying from the shop
will i be doomed to be a fashionless pauper
noice
Hey is there any channel where I can ask people to do Palace of the dead with me? just need the first 50 floors. Light on Europe.
"Glamour is the true endgame" is a meme, but it's also true.
@leaden ginkgo you can queue ingame
Glam's actually about to get a little easier with the Belts going bye bye
Do the NieR raids drop the tokens for Augmented Cryptlurker's?
no
No
thats next nier
But the next one presumably will
Oh
which releases next week
You need coins from all three
What wine was yoshi-p drinking with his coffee biscuits
How are you guys augmenting them right now then
Savage
savage
theyre always augmented via savage first and then raids after a while
Don't worry Tsuya, by the time you get to the point of wanting to get augmented cryptlurker gear, you'll be able to buy it with poetics. 🙃
got damn
Probably true
Depending on how life goes these next handful of months that might be an unironically accurate statement
I think someone mentioned it was a nappa valley 2018 wine but i want to know like, the exact kind of wine (for fun when i make them irl)
hi. what's an efficient way to level?
Play the game
!faq altlvlguide
For your first job or for alts?
Alternatively dungeons
First job, the answer is always going to be MSQ.
Is there a reason the DNC dance buff lasts 60 seconds if the recast is only 30 seconds? Just.. foolproof-ness?
If it's your first job then just do msq, yeah
Just means you can and should have 100% uptime
Alts, you can just follow that guide, then do Bozja from 70-80.
and have some leniency with it
yes, I'm new to the game
alright thanks
Then do the quests with
icon
I get -some- leniency, but this is a huge amount of leniency. It made me suspicious there was something more to it.
♥
Not really, you will want to use the dance on cd anyway
Mostly for the dmg
later you will have 2 dances but technical step has a longer cd
this tank is annoying
So you'll just be using standard step whenever you can
Dance is like any other upkeep combo
oooh ty for the replies. appreciate it
.n.
its only been 1 sentence
You're doing it regularly enough that its duration isn't a problem
Still the wrong channel to complain about bad tanks. 🙂
baiii ♥
Myeah, they could've just gone with a 30 second buff and it'd be the same right? I mean, not complaining though, free buff uptime
30 secs would actually be annoying since you couldn't have 100% uptime then
dance takes a tiny bit after all
The thing is with stuff like aoe trash pulls you don't dance off cd if there are enough targets
I didn't even realize until half a minute ago this wasn't discussion
Also prepull shenanigans
is there any way to still get the exp earrings
Not the aetheryte ones
If somebody has a camera icon next to their name are they in gpose
6.0 should have a similar pre-order bonus
They will, however, likely release a new preorder xp earring for EW preorders in a few months.
Yes Tsuya
either gpose or idling camera
what does the collector's edition of shadowbringers give you
A mount and some glamour pieces, iirc?
it says on the mog station page
^
does buying Shadowbringers also give me stormblood?
Yes
does anyone know if we can buy armor and accessoire upgrades with nuts in 5.5?
I just hit 62 with SCH and I feel like I don't really understand the point of the last few skills
Yes
@honest orchid what about them
Excog and dissipation?
You mean excog or the ones that come after 62?
Excog is REALLY GOOD
Dissipation seems strange, I guess I could just resummon later?
Dissipation is for when you really need more Aetherflow.
Your faerie comes back when Dissipation ends.
30s.
Also why is excog good if it works when they're below 50%?
And youe fairy will be back by the time you need it
keep in mind that the only thing the faerie really is is a 150 potency heal tick every 3 seconds
it's basically whm regen
because it auto heals the tank when the tank gets to 50% so you can just dps
Its FAAAAR more potent than lustrate
And its a auto heal
There's no wasted healing
yeah you just slap excog on the tank and when they drop it just works
without you doing anything
You slap it on them and just ignore thwm
OH
Once it pops then you can worry about thinking of healing them
It auto pops after 45s as well
ummm, so I just bought Shadowbringers from SE's site and went to enter the code, it says invalid code
Hey sorry to do but I'm looking for a group of people who can grind a9s with me for my anima weapon I understand from my FC that no one will probably join D:
okay dumb question 2, is there a "training dummy" for healers? I feel like I would've been able to figure it out if I had an opportunity lol
Do you have the Starter edition already/
@tropic bear did you have the game on steam
You can just use stuff on yourself to see it
I don't know, I bought the Heavensward years ago
Check on your Mogstation to see what you own.
screenshot your mog station page
I have been trying to do the wuest gunblade for hire all evening and either i die or im close and the lady died
Check this grid.
use your regen on the npc
I DID
Do yoy have good gear in every slot
and absorb the orbs
Using defensives cooldowns
HOW
Take orbs
the whole page @tropic bear
i stand in front, they pass through me
You walk into them
Get the part above it too like I showed @tropic bear
I DID
Then you're lagging
how
They pop when you walk into them
Computer?
is it a gear thing? i cant be
you might need to pass through them slower because it might not register if you do it too fast
If your gear is shit then you'll take more and do less damage
im litterally using what i was given 1 quest ago
Extending thentime
1
Alright @tropic bear next question: do you have an active sub?
Do you habe accessories
yes
Cause it doesn't gice you accessories
are you entering the code into the EXPANSION REGISTRATION and not ITEM registration
Which is ALOT of stat loss
Full what, i200+ accessories?
there goes my money
Poetics gear is 1000x better than gil gear.
Especially if you're not buying HQ
Normal quality gear is a GIANT waste
Are their really any cons of using ffxiv on steam
Hey should I do hunts? Some of the mounts look neat but I was wondering if it's worth it
You can't take advantage of SE store sales.
You HAVE to buy expansions on steam
But that's about it.
When Steam is down, XIV is down for you too
No whrre else
okay
there isn't "expansion registration"
it should be on the first page that you logged into
in gathering, it seems almost everything is either "unsellable" or "sells for 1 gil." but the "shop selling price" seems to vary quite a bit. can someone please explain the difference for me?
shop selling price is what the vendors sell at
Shop selling is what NPCs will sell it to you
to you
ahhhhh
Means you can buy it somewhere
The two first hotkey bars are 1 through 9 and 0 and +. (And the same but with Ctrl).
Can I have other bars bound to certain keys?
Unsellable/gil price is what vendors buy it
system > keybind
You can put it on market board if it doesn't say Market prohibited
market board is like "auction house" from WoW?
Yes
Anyone free to help with A9s grind I'm in the PF under Salvador Mujuuk
post in the recruitment channel
Oh sorry
The MB is exactly like the AH in WoW.
thanks
What materials are usually good for gunbreaker?
Except there's no bidding. You pay what the item is listed at like the WoW AH buyout option.
ohhhh
@leaden ginkgo doesnt matter if youre not 80
all buyouts all the time 🙂
Yep
I’m level 80
so after painfully making a few alts already, ignoring the advice that I don't need to... I think I finally "get it." 🙂 except I'm still worried what my second class will do to level since I've already cleared all the side quests while bringing up my first.
!faq altlevelguide
Do that ^
hmmmm so only doing the side quests once... ok. I'll read it now. thanks!
you dont need to do the yellow side quests at all
theyre only for lore
and theres a million of them
how do you get your first class gear lv80? I done the role quest lv80
I'm currently about midway through the book step, but I wanna start a new zeta. Can I switch mid-step or do I have to complete all books for my previous job first?
grenoldt in the tempest
you gotta get far enough in main story to meet ^ that NPC
would I get banned for using a lighting mod in this game?
you can start a new weapon, but once you get to the book phase you'll either need to complete that set of books or toss them to start books on the new weapon @gritty oracle
No
if its ghsade/reshade no
ty!
yea i just downloaded gshade, so any other type of lighting mod isnt allowed?
All Mods are in the "unauthorized modifications" catagory, but basically as long as you aren't using them to create certain content to be shared you should be fine.
there arent really any other lighting mods besides gshade
Whats Haukke manor
Dungeon.
A dungeon
Ah
The Daily Roulette has "Adventurer in Need" as Healer. I'm leveling healer but I've done the one for today. Worth doing Leveling again?
nope
no
Not really
adventurer in need is a tiny bonus
Unless you need like, extra GC seals.
I think i got like 10k exp for adventurer in need bonus
Nah I'm good. Trying to level between 26 and 30 so I can do next job quest. Done all the huntlog stuff and everything else. Don't remember where PotD is so I'll go look for that online, thanks.
quarrymill aetheryte
If you're a healer, then just specifically queue for your highest level dungeon availalb.e
That will be faster than doing PotD
Really? Even if it isn't daily dungeon roulette?
Roulettes just give a bonus.
regular leveling dungeons give more exp than potd
you still get a few million xp for finishing a dungeon
Most of the xp you get from roulettes actually comes from the dungeon itself.
I've finished them all tho, so it's not a fierst time thing. Still, I'll try that, thanks
you get a ton of exp regardless
So when you level the highest level dungeon available to you, you're getting xp relative to your current level.
So your highest level available dungeon should be (unfortunately) Toto-Rak.
hey guys! why cant i take out stuff from the company chest that im in?
because you dont have permission to
You probably don't have permissions for the tab you're trying to take from.
it says access to this compartment is restricted
ohh ok 🙂
it's a well known scam for ppl to join a FC, empty the guild chest and then run away
how do you get HQ items while gathering?
rng
By using skills that improve the rng chance/getting better gear/etc
Well, rng and skills.
the poetics gear for HW
Can I collect resistance weapon memories on any character for any character without having the resistance weapon equipped?
Yes
is that yes to me...?
Yes
yay
You can be any job so long as the quest is open
Yes, you can collect memories regardless of whether you're using the same class you picked up the quest with or not, and whether you have the weapon equipped or not.
including sub-80 characters?
Yep
dang. they were really generous about this. that’s awesome.
As long as the quest is active, you'll get memories in appropriate content.
just double checking, you means jobs, not different toons right?
@modest igloo right
ok good, thats what i thought, just not used to people using that term
yes i do mean different jobs
sorry. i’ve been playing wow. because i’m dumb. and my family plays it.
that's fair, just dont want to avoid any potential issues
id hate to waste anyone's time
unlike wow
zing
How do I get the items for law relics on palace of the dead? Can I get multiples on a single run?
it's random chance whether you get one at the end of a 10-floor run
unless you finish floor 50
the chance gets higher the higher the floors you clear
Oh thanks
Holy shit as soon as I select a dungeon it's locked in... Healer is actualyl not bad 😂
Rng every 10 floors
but afaik it's never guaranteed
Only 150+ guaranteed
oh nvm
Yes. Healers and tanks generally instant or near-instant queues for dungeons.
Healers more so than tanks actually
floor 50 and i imagine floor 100 are also 100% guarantees
I quite like those roles tbh, so I'm having fun troo!
They're not
are they not?
Nope
huh
Only 150+ is
every time i cleared floor 50 i got one so i figured it was a gimme
Gotcha! My bad, didn't know if glamour counted as hair
oddly enough tank is more often the adventurer in need, even tho queue pops instantly when i queue healer
Glamour is all visual stuff
When soloing stuff as a WHM and I do not need healing, is using lilies for the blood a dps loss?
Yes
🙇
it is on single target
depends on how many targets, yeah
Unless you're hitting 2 or more targets, lilies are a dps loss
But also like, if you're soloing stuff then you're not going to care as much about optimal dps.
because its 4 gcds to do 900 pot
Misery is 900 potency for 4 gcds, glare is 1200 potency for 4 gcds
Oh, that is good to know.
But if you charge it between mobs, it will be an increase
Yeah, I see the maths now.
But misery is also aoe so it may be worth it
In aoe worth, ST no if yoy dont need to heal
You don't get blood lily charges if you're out of combat.
You do, but the timer doesn't tick
That's actually quite smart and I hadn't thought of that yet
Okay, got a mch question since I'm leveling it. Is it worth to delay drill by a few seconds if reassemble is about to come up? And if so at what point do I just drill away?
If you press Drill on cooldown every time, you will only have to delay Reassemble by ~5 seconds every time, not Drill
if i use NG+, will i be able to use the trust system in later ShB dungeons? all of mine are at 71 still
if i cancel my subscription i still have my 1 month access right i just won't be charged and get my next subscription once my current one ends?
correct
okie good thanks :P
Yes you still have access to the game so long as you still have days left
@modest igloo they wont get exp iirc
ah ok, makes sense
you cant level them like that
ye i was thinkin about when i re-do the story in a few months for EW
yes you can use them in ng+

So as healer, do I only go for Mind, or Intelligence too?
Hello everyone. I purchased the collectors edition of FF14 2 years ago, and now I am wanting to play on PC. Is it possible to use my console account on my PC? If so, what is the process?
Mind affects healing and healer damage
Ok, cause I am going through dungeons and the random drops are often Int and I thought maybe my damaging spells at least scale off int.
Yes, just buy the game again and put the code onto your Mogstation account
All healer spells scale off Mind
Thanks
Jobs only have 1 main stat each
ARR gear is weird, since it used to be split back in the day
Would buying the collectors edition on PC also give me a 30-day free trial or would I have to buy the subscription separately because I used it on console?
You get the 30days free anytime you buy the game again on a new platform
So you get another 30days of free sub despite already owning on consoke
Hey, any suggestions on kb+m to use on ps5? I tried a few years back on ps4 but there was some input delay. Preferably wireless. Thanks!
If for example you buy 2 collectors edition for example you'd get 60 days free because they stack
I just remembered I can do that "rebuilding" the place by donating. I just forgot how to get there....
Stomrblood area where you donate to basket
Doman enclave
Teleport there if you attuned
Ah right, thanks. I'll do that!
I usually use the Map and select different areas to go to, but I couldn't find Doman Enclave... I used Teleprot instead, but shouldn't it be on a map part?
Its in Yanxia
The story takes you there in Stormblood
Oh right, via Yanxia!
Yeah I know, I remember that, but as I said I usually just use the map to select where I wanna go.
Is it not on your teleport list
gotta use the TP list for it
Found it now, "Othard" -> "Doman Enclave" last one.
and this looks cool
like
Complete the VERY long story
where does the fun come from?
Then do daily/weeklies to gear up...and do whatever you want
from doing the story
Just follow the main story of you want and keep sidequesting to a minimum, however it's huge and some sidequests are really needed for advancing at times (like unlocking certain things).
this is a final fantasy game
oh ok so dont sidequest
its story heavy
ah ok
Yellow quests are purely lore
Depends on my what your definition of fun is. But remember its almost all story locked
funnily enough this is my first ff game
Wow, you're in for a ride
!faq newplayertips
people say ffxiv has some of the best story of any FF game so enjoy it
I personally don't like that image. Quite overwhelming as a newbie. 😂
pog ty
But simply follow story is the easiest thing to do really and will keep you occupied for a good while.
feel free to make something better and then submit it to #discord-feedback 🙃
Remember: main story quests and job quests need to be done first
Always prioritize them
I'd say it's great, and they can draw on the whole "MMO so release DLC and expand" thing but it's not really the best per se. However I'd grant that the nostalgia factor and including things really makes it a top contender. (personal opinion if it wasn't obvious)
ok so basically ignore the sidequests
unless they give something
Blue quests usually unlock something
The ones that are blue with a + on them unlock things you might need, but don't worry too much about it
okk
!faq contentunlock
Use that too
Question about donation basket. I know the weekly limit is 20k, but does overflow count? If I'm at 19 and give for 5k, will it count towards the grand total that's "hidden" and advance faster?
No
im guessing i dont need to get the dlc until im done with the base game right
Unless you REALLY want viera/Hrothgar or the stormblood/Shadowbringers jobs at 50/60
Do the trial
I myself got the complete edition cheap enough so I'd suggest that if you can afford it. It's worth it really.
(I got both PS and PC but doesn't matter, crossplay baby!)
Even if you bought the dlc you wouldn't be able to access any of it til you get there
you'll also be capped at 60 with only the base game and any exp you earn beyond that goes poof
Essentially speaking, yes you're correct
Social stuff, gil and storage are the main ones
best way to level restistance?
do fates and CEs
That's the only way to get them anyway
The trial's focus is to bring you into the world and content, since that's what this game focuses on for a lot of content
yea ill try out the free trial
Does the donation basket reset tuesdays as well? Most things seem to
Yes
yes it does
so what kind of boss battle/raid stuff is there
raiding is primarliy at endgame, so you wont be able to access it for a while
endgame starts at completion of 5.0, which is about...300-400 hours for new players?
there are trials in the MSQ
300-400 OMG LMAO
fashion
im getting bored of lol so im torn between this and poe
mostly the lore, but laso endgame grinding and leveling
this game has a huge screenshot/fashion/modding community
also the story isnt finished yet
and we get new raids
and housing
since 1 character can play as all classes
many things really
i enjoy playing the combat and stuff is there a lot of that to do?
yes
its not 300-400 unless you're being heavily sidetracked
how hard is samurai? it might be my first physical dps class
say less
msq alone is only maybe 200 hours up to current
ill give it a try
it has a strict but simple rotation
i always forget how much it is mb
not so strict that its unadjustable
there is leeway to move stuff around based on fight
but i would say sam is harder than the other melee dps imo
not like dragoon which is solid same gcd rotation every time
what would be considered an easy melee dps? or is all of them hard
and I would say its easier since there's so little focus on postionals
monk and drg
you can push which combos go where and what to use as filler
meanwhile im diein over here on MNK at 60 hahaha
The main thing that sells FFXIV for me is simply the ease of it all. The biggest thing is that you can make EVERY job on one single character, basically nothing is missable (bar events ofc) and it's extremely user friendly. I myself don't even like MMOs so much but I'm a FF veteran and really wanted to get into it. So glad it's easy to single player this game. That's another thing; you don't have to rely on the multiplayer part as much as some other MMO's might.
in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest it would be dragoon > ninja > monk = samurai
since different parts of the jobs are what make them difficult
i would say monk is a little bit easier than nin but i can see them being on the same level
ninja has its trick window basically practiceable by 50
just like how monk has all of its gcd rotation
i guess for now samurai is considered easy at first
but monk has a more movement heavy rotation that requires melee distance the entire time, while ninja has a little more leeway on disengaging
samurai is easy to pick up
!faq samrotation
should be practicing this rotation
can't practice loopuing and filler without lv68
for hagakure
and no reason to until you get tsubame
at 76?
at least do as much as you can
but cerberus has a point about muscle memorying it early
its good to understand why it needst o be done and being comfy with it
is allagan tomestones of poetics only used for lvl 50 gear?
poetics are for all old endgame gear
for each expac
so theres more at lvl 60 and lvl 70
So do WoL ex weapons desynth into anything useful? Wanna know if there's a use to keeping my totems if I get the mount before getting 99 of them
you can potentially desynth into the rare material
Hello im about to play the game and have some questions and im kinda new, is there someone that can help me ?
just ask here
which is currently only used for the barding and the housing item but will probably be used for the crafted weapon in the future
Oh really? Which weapons desynth into the Mat?
is there a way to pay the suscription in-gold game ?
no
no

can you upgrade the class of your squadron? like from archer to bard
nope
okay guys i need some help. I recently switched to gunbreaker class and looking to grind exp to get to my msq lvl 66. i am now 64. i ran through palace of the dead to lvl 40. but now it says i dont have the gear lvl enough for it
and i cant seem how to upgrade my gear and weapon where and what shall i do/go
first, using Potd is slower than queing for the lvl 63 dungeon
second, you have to re-do the floor and get more gear upgrades via the light (i forget what its called)
ok, so i shall just dungeon it to lvl 66?
what floor? 🙂
wayyyyy more xp
the 31-40 floors, to try and get more light
Potd is really only for DPS with long queue times
but my item lvl is to low for the lvl 60 dungeons
how can i upgrade my gear or find better?
ah, buy gear on the MB or augmented shire gear with poetics
is hismena the one to buy from? or is there higher gear for me somewhere else?
is there any recount dmg in game?
ye, the 270 ilvl is the best you can get with poetics
until you beat 4.0
you mean DPS calculator?

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.

might take a bit to get installed and figured out but it's what almost everyone uses
I was on a stream earlier and a thing about subscriptions got me a little confused. I'm currently playing the free trial and not paying a sub but I'm thinking about paying for the game after I hit level 60. Anyways, is the sub like paying for 30 days of having the game running (playtime) or is it a set period from the date on which I purchase the sub until 30 days after that purchase?
its a set period.
Okay thanks, that's not what I was told on the stream but it seems way more likely to be the way you say
what would be a good way to grind xp in between 30 to 50 on a char other then daily roulettes
the dungeons around that level feel awful
like aurum vale and dwarean suck my soul out
!faq altlvlguide
thanks
for those dungeons, use squadrons to lower que time and have more controlled teammates
the bots straight up dont have to do mechanics in AV
(Squadrons only being relevant if you have them unlocked)
ye
Reach 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company
The ones on the hunt board or the hunting log?
hunt board
You accept the bill from the board and then go to the zone and find the monster to kill it
oh its that simple
The 4th and 5th marks on the daily bill are fate bosses for ARR hunts
also apparently dark knights dont feel good till 70, but since im doing free trial atm im at cap 60
should i still try out drk
Yes.
alr
if it looks cool to you then feel free to play it
ig so
you dont have to worry about optimal till endgame raiding in ShB
ig ill pick up drk till i get ShB so i can pick up the basics of tanking to prep for gunbreaker
im having trouble finding one of my white mage job quests; i've recently acquired tetragrammaton but i dont appear to be getting additional quests to follow up even though i am level 70 with all expansions bought 😦
Unease in East End is the next one. maybe you already accepted it?
where are you in the main scenario quest
I've checked, currently dont have it, and the location in conjurors guild doesnt show a mark
I'm on It's probably a trap, couple of quests into Kugane
that would be why
er
actually no you're on sb so then you should be able to pick it up
also it wouldnt be in gridania
it would be in south shroud
do you have "The Far Edge of Fate" in your quest log completed?
yea, i double checked with my pre-requisites and checked to make sure i wasnt missing any previous requirements
i do have the far edge of fate completed
and I also have the hands of healing, which is when I gained tetra. I've also just checked in south shroud, no quest there either :<
post a screenshot of your questlog?
not the completed section, what you currently have accepted
oh right, 2s

@queen dew amazon reviews says it does work on ps4

also quests won't appear unless you're actually in that zone
this is my south shroud
oh right, ive had them appear before, ill have a quick gander now
ahh okay so how to program the buttons?
@queen dew you can't. it uses a special windows program

there's not a quest 4 me 2 unlock scholar??
there is once you meet the prerequisites
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
msq is probably what you don't have completed to the correct point
pls im in 5.4
yes
then the quest should be in the arcanist's guild iirc
i dont think i have the right weapon equipped 🧍♂️
you need to be an arcanist to have the quest be available
as in unequip your job stone
i got it
i am so bad at finding answers to some stuff in this game. do someone mind if i can add them and help me out with some stuff? show me things
i play on cerberus
!faq newplayertips
this might help in the meantime
does xiv distinguish between the two alt keys as acceptable modifier keys or are they linked
same with ctrl and r ctrl
afaik it's the same
is there a list of acceptable binds like if it accepts mousekeys
not the regular mouse buttons but it does accept side keys
like if you have an mmo mouse that would work
no I know specifically it doesn't support mouse keys beyond like.. 5
acceptable modifiers are shift, ctrl and alt btw
thank you ❤️ will give this a read
are you ingame to test if you can assign LALT and RALT differently
They're the same key as far as keybindings are concerned
damn
and I'm assuming the game doesn't support ad hoc of creating modifiers
like making mousekey5 + 1 a bind
You can do cursed stuff in keybunds like ctrl+shift+keybind but its only officially recognized modifiers
M5 isn't a modifier
What's the yellow 0 mean?
ty
Its not really unique
Its shared for based on what you target
And loops back to A once you kill Z
other mobs when targeting the same monster type also view it as the same variable
Different players in separate parties can see the same mob with different identifier letters
true
alliance stuff I think has it linked though
or on per use case of important mobs
thats where lahabread came from??
Yep
Memes ain't got a complicated history
lmao

Perfection
Does anyone know if BLU can still get eruption from Normal mode ifrit?
Yes
Yes
@stuck ingot Are you trying to program an MMO mouse? If it helps i use Ctrl + F1-12.
Difficulty of the fight doesn't matter generally. As long as the mob Actually uses the skill in the first place
Feather rain/glass dance are extreme exclusive since they're only used there
no, rebind caps lock to be a unique key that isn't alt/shift/ctrl
and current solution seems to be have to use alt because ctrl is already present in too many accessible binds
so there would be 2 ways of pressing alt essentially

if its isn't going to be a question
