[covert berry]

what happens if i stay afk at main scenario?

[stuck ingot]

if combat is going or loot is being distributed you won't be kicked

otherwise they usually will if someone notices

[vernal urchin]

afk'ing through a duty is generally a dick move

Though if you just need to get up and do something for a moment just let them know

[onyx anchor]

How can I craft the lighter armours used by Archers and such?

[faint flare]

With crafters

[twilit arch]

leatherworker makes the bulk of what archer/bards wear

some pieces are from armorer and weaver though

[onyx anchor]

Thank you! ^^

[slate elm]

Tested my right Alt, got this.

[stuck ingot]

interesting

[slate elm]

Might be unique to my KB though, printed on the cap as Alt GR

Corsair K55

[stuck ingot]

wonder if I could recreate that with my corsair k95 by using icue and setting caps lock as ctrl-alt

[stuck ingot]

though this feels... bad overall for general usage

[slate arrow]

You get used to it.

[stuck ingot]

press caps lock and 4 to win the game

[slate elm]

Can set a profile in iCue iirc? Just change the profile when you're in game?

[stuck ingot]

yeah that's what I was going to do

then bind profile swap to a macro key on the keyboard

it might just work

or I think there's detection for pid to swap if active window

that'd be the way to do it

hm hm

I can't imagine enix would flag your account or something for having several inputs tied to one action would they?

because it'd translate one button press into 2 actions

[slate arrow]

nah

[gritty oracle]

Is there any reason to release fish other than inventory space?

[obsidian patio]

That’s basically the only reason

[agile laurel]

um, iirc you can potentially 'fish out' a certain type given enough time, and release makes it that you don't - but i may be talking utter bullshit here

i just remember hearing that

[gritty oracle]

That's a different mechanic. If you stay too long at a fishing hole, all the fish will disappear (mostly an anti-bot measure)

[agile laurel]

that i knew of, but I thought the two were seperate

I assume I'm talking bullshit, never mind then

[glossy flare]

Is Nascent Flash really mostly a skill you can throw on the MT when you're the OT? I mean I could see a use case where you throw it on someone instead of the whm slapping them with a regen but eh

it seems like weirdly niche skill

[agile laurel]

unrelated, I assume there's no wristwatch style wrist glam besides the obvious yokai watch

[remote lintel]

there isn't

[agile laurel]

nascent glint is partly good for the 10% mit, on theme of intervention/tbn etc, also good for the heal, but mostly cause you may just as well

[little swift]

10% mitigation on a target you know will take a lot of damage (ie dots) can snapshot a reduced dot

its really situational

[glossy flare]

yeah that's why I thought you might slap it on the MT

[little swift]

but overall the healing is mostly better used on a non-MT unless you know you can get full value

[glossy flare]

it's a nice mitigation

[little swift]

since you can get more of a dps/healers %hp healed overall

[finite topaz]

Nascent Flash is mostly for yourself, WAR works best as MT

[little swift]

the glint effect is more of a bonus than what you should be maximizing

[agile laurel]

end of the day, nascent glint's main usage is 'well you're going to use nascent flash cause it's an amazing ability anyway, you may as well'

[finite topaz]

For example on shared busters(like e10s) you can Nascent Flash the tank that vokes after you took the 4 slaps to the face

[glossy flare]

Yeah but it is competing with raw intuition

So I'm eh about it

[finite topaz]

Raw Intuition can be put on other people?

[little swift]

similarly glint the person with the lightning bound of faith

no you cna't

[agile laurel]

you'd need to consider maximising the healing output in that case

[little swift]

RI is self only

[glossy flare]

no but it shares a cd

[little swift]

!faq nfvsri

[zinc orbit]

Nascent Flash vs Raw Intuition

See the Link for the math and explanations on the different cases. Make a copy if you want to fool around with the incoming damage values.

Raw Intuition covers 171k damage in this example.
That's worth a Shiva auto-attack and a Ramuh tank buster in total. This is to give Raw Intuition at least two hits worth of damage to mitigate.

[little swift]

tldr if you don't die outright to the damage

[finite topaz]

Raw Intuition is mostly a situational skill, under normal circumstances, Nascent Flash wins

[little swift]

NF

[agile laurel]

NF if you need it on another target, NF if you're going for like, an IC or 2 cleaves

[glossy flare]

I see

[agile laurel]

and NF cause honestly it's not easy to make it worse

NF is just a good fuckin button

[glossy flare]

I was just assuming the healing bit of NF wasn't enough to make up for the 10% less of mitigation

But derp me I guess

[little swift]

all you need is 1 50 gauge spender to make it decent

[sick thorn]

hey i started the free trial a few days back. people advised me not to buy the starter edition at first. So when should I buy the starter edition?

[finite topaz]

Starter edition IMO is not worth it never

[glossy flare]

Either when you are finished with the Heavensward expansion or when the social restrictions of the trial are just too much for you 😄

[agile laurel]

you have until the end of Heavensward expansion in 'free trial', so it's worth using that up

[finite topaz]

Better to just milk the free trial and buy the whole game

[agile laurel]

because once you purchase, you can't go back to trial

[glossy flare]

FYI, base game + heavensward is all content up to lvl 60

same as the starter edition

[agile laurel]

like 100+ hours of msq alone, arguably

[little swift]

you can buy it and hold the code until you have maximized trial time

you don't need to use it immediately

[glossy flare]

Do note that when you are done with HW and then just buy the starter edition you do not gain any additional content

[finite topaz]

Then wait for a sale, if you do this @sick thorn

[glossy flare]

because the starter edition also just includes the base game + HW

[sick thorn]

by whole game you mean shadowbringers right?

[glossy flare]

Not speaking for him but I would assume so

[finite topaz]

Yes

But

Here is the catch, Endwalker(newest expansion) is launching this year, in probably 6 months

[wintry chasm]

You'd be wrong

[finite topaz]

And prepurchase maybe in like 5 months

[little swift]

!faq product

[zinc orbit]

How to buy game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

Please read over the purchase pages carefully; Square Enix does not look kindly on people who require refunds or perform chargebacks. Chargebacks are grounds for full account termination.

The Starter Edition comes with A Realm Reborn and Heavensward only (content patches 2.0-3.55).

The Complete Edition comes with A Realm Reborn and all expansions up to and including Shadowbringers. (content patches 2.0-5.xx)

The Shadowbringers expansion should only be purchased on its own if: You only own the Starter Edition, or you only own the game up to Stormblood (if you are a new player, this second part likely does not apply to you).

Collector's Edition benefits for Shadowbringers can be viewed here. Note that there is a difference between the physical and digital versions. Digital collector's edition benefits from previous expansions may be purchased on the Mogstation, as well as the digital benefits for Shadowbringers if you buy the standard edition and change your mind later.

[wintry chasm]

You can't just use the free frial and buy Shadowbringers Azura

you...still need to buy the starter ediiton

[sick thorn]

i see. i'll get the complete edition whenever the next sale happens then. till then i'll keep playing the free trial edition. thanks guys

[finite topaz]

Buy complete edition then

[wintry chasm]

Right

Buying complete edition =/ "buy Shadowbringers" is all

[finite topaz]

Yeah my bad there, but @sick thorn as i said before, prepurchase of new expac(which also includes all previous expacs) will be in like... 5-6 months

[onyx anchor]

Can you unlock your race's clothes as glamours?

[finite topaz]

Yeah, the starter gear?

[onyx anchor]

Yea, the gear that your character has upon creation

[agile laurel]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'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.

[ebon mantle]

what is tradeable in ffxiv?

[agile laurel]

if you've discarded the gear, it's purchasable from at least one npc in each city

[wintry chasm]

That's such a vague question all that one can really say is "various things"

[ebon mantle]

okay thanks

[finite topaz]

As long as the item doesnt has UNTRADABLE on it's window header, it should be tradable

[ebon mantle]

thank!

[finite topaz]

There are some items that are tradable, but not Market board allowed

[ebon mantle]

thanks!

[onyx anchor]

Is it possible to disable auto-attack?

[faint flare]

You can stop autoing by hitting escape

But will resume when you start using skills

[rose oak]

is there a way to make certain hotbars mouse over?

[sick needle]

what is the best level 60 armor for drk?

[faint flare]

Shire

[cloud night]

Hey, I search a website with every minion/orchestrion that can be unlock with an OST bluray or artbook

[onyx anchor]

Escape just stops targeting the enemy, so you can't use skills, auto-attack, etc. I'm wondering if there's a way to disable it for good, so I stop accidentally initiating combat with other enemies in battle.

[faint flare]

You only start autoing stuff if you right click or use a skill on them

You dont want to turn autos off

[manic flare]

how do people get up there?

[warm snow]

The only time you want auto attack off is very specific blu mage carnivals

And pre pull when fighting bosses as ranged dps

[primal ermine]

I think by rapidly switch jobs, I noticed the job switch effect when people glitch up

Sorry on Crystal here, but let us know if there's any questiosn

[limber frost]

Thanks but, I'm on phone and can't really read that lol

[faint flare]

Click it

[limber frost]

I have a lot of questions. But I'll leave it at 1. How do I fish and is it fun?

[faint flare]

And zoom in

[limber frost]

Even zooming in its rough

[faint flare]

Unlock fisher in Limsa and equip the rod

[terse roost]

Fishing is unlocked in Limsa Lominsa, and I find it fairly relaxing

[weak stirrup]

where can I buy a level 1 robe or something for "all classes" so that I'm not nude every time I take up a new profession?

[limber frost]

Ok. Do you have to be a certain lvl?

[terse roost]

The game itself will teach you the mechs for early on, it only gets a little complex later, mainly figuring out what buffs to use and when, easy enough

[faint flare]

You need to do your lv10 class quest to pick up other jobs

[terse roost]

Travis - Most of the start cities, I know in Limsa it's in Hawker's Alley area

[limber frost]

Ahhhh, okay. Thank you

[faint flare]

If you didn't start in limsa then you need to do story to go there

[limber frost]

I did

[weak stirrup]

I looked around and found nothing for level 1

looked in Limsa

[honest orchid]

Is it smarter to repair when the gear is barely damaged or later?

[terse roost]

Should be the battlecraft vendor I believe.

[little swift]

@weak stirrup there are black rabbit trader vendors near main aetherytes of the 3 main cities that sell your race gear

[terse roost]

Andy - Depends on your day, what you'll be doing, and gil

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter. If you self repair without npcs then it flat adds 100% to cap at 199%

[weak stirrup]

will look again, thanks!

[little swift]

In limsa for example its bango Zango by the main aetherytr

[faint flare]

Npcs will put it to 100%

[terse roost]

For me, I do it if I know I'm going to be running through stuff and don't want to be bothered to stop, just to top off. Otherwise I might not notice until it gets low

How early can you get a pet? Or a mount?

[honest orchid]

I figured it would be a pretty negligible gil savings anyway. Good to know you can "over repair" by repairing it yourself

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[faint flare]

For mounts

Minions have a variety of ways to get them

[limber frost]

Okay cool. Last question. Should I focus on main story or do side quests?

I'm lvl 12

[faint flare]

Story

Yellow quests are purely lore

And shit xp wise

Story and job quests are MANDATORY

[weak stirrup]

ahh, so after fishing naked for the first quest, I got a level 1 all classes shirt at least 🙂

I'll save it forever.

[limber frost]

Just what I wanted to hear, thank you!

[toxic ridge]

Are you able to relocate Fc houses? Like, if I were to relinquish a personal plot, would an fc be able to relocate there if they have a house already, or would they need to go through timer?

[faint flare]

Relocation bypasses the timer

[toxic ridge]

So you can for sure relocate fc houses yea?

[faint flare]

Yes

[stray carbon]

whats a good hand of land/discipline i could try thats good for getting used to the crafting system

[faint flare]

They're all basically the same between the different crafters and different gatherers (except Fisher)

Only difference is what they make/gather

So

[stray carbon]

oh alr

[gleaming garnet]

i recently embarrassingly found out early heavensward that I'm lv. 62 instead of 52 (white mage). Is there a way to exploit this and ||get some really overpowered gear (like through the marketplace) or is the ironwork gear basically the only good option until I unlock the mystery lv. 60 city that has the next set of poetic gear?||

[faint flare]

I mean yoy could buy gear off market but its basically a waste

[vernal urchin]

If you have the poetics already I'd just save them til you get to idyllshire

[faint flare]

Getting better gear only helps in the overworld since instances will sync you

[gleaming garnet]

oh yeah, true, bummer. I feel like this is the only rpg I've played where i can't actually enjoy the power fantasy of building a well made character and crushing everything as a reward like every other main FF game has

[faint flare]

That's what unsyncing is for

Going back for old content and not being synced

[vernal urchin]

Well you can in the overworld, and if you ever unsync duties

[earnest wraith]

I think you can get your 60 class gear from your class quest. You can use that as well

[gleaming garnet]

oh yeah, I did just do that (the orison set). Anyways, thanks for all the answers

[solid fog]

Do we have earrings like Alphinauds that stick to the ear for Miqote?

[toxic condor]

Can my alt characters buy stuff off the mb that i put up on my main?

I feel like a dumbass for asking this but recently I've realized when playing as a tank the game will auto target whatever attacks me if I haven't selected it yet, and I'd like to disable it. I swear I didn't mess with any settings and this is bothering me, any ideas?

[shrewd mirage]

Thanks!

[plain python]

will weekly cap raise in 5.5 for tome?

[twilit arch]

no

was raised in 4.56, same time they uncapped savage so will most likely be the same

@toxic condor well u can try finding a static party or do another content

[plain python]

which is how long before Shb expansion rolls?

[toxic condor]

How do I find a static party for this? and i've tried doing other content but the wait times still suck

[twilit arch]

was about 3mos~ before shb released

@toxic condor if youre having long queues then do potd if youre under 60

[toxic condor]

That's what im trying to do but im not finding anything there either

[toxic condor]

Yeah I know

[remote lintel]

so queue times are going to be long

especially for dps

[toxic condor]

I dont just mean now, in general whenever I try doing dps even during the day queue times are always shit for everything

[remote lintel]

do it during peak hours

[finite topaz]

My recommendation is getting a group of friends that can do the first 50 floors with you, then 51-60 is easy

Problem is, expac is kinda old already and most players are already at the point where they dont have to do Palace of the dead

[leaden ginkgo]

In Bozja, if you use lost steelsting on targets that are weak to magic instead, what does it do?

[jade quartz]

I have no clue how that turned on, lol

I think I'm losing my mind :p ty again

[true elm]

so uhh, anyone wanna give me a recruitment code. starting my sub

[leaden ginkgo]

Tysvm, I got some guy telling me since I'm BLM that using steelsting against magitechs is tanking my damage

[nova umbra]

will the upcoming new weapons be better than the augmented cryptlurker weapons?

[leaden ginkgo]

Just to clarify, is he wrong, or?..

[faint flare]

He isn't

Because he's making your attacks physical

Not magical

So you're losing the bonus weakness damage

[twilit arch]

no

[heavy wadi]

do you mean relics or the diamond ex weps?

if relics, then we won't get those till 5.55 in may

[warped nest]

Diamond ex will be 525

Augmented crypt is 530

Maxed relic will be 535

Diamond ex could be better than augmented crypt only if augmented crypt has very undesirable substat

[open ember]

Also Nier raid gear is 520

For the 3rd raid

OH you're talking about weapons

I mean diamond weapon will hold you over for the month

[warped nest]

You can even just gear your alt jobs with diamond ex weapons and take them into Endwalker

Don't need to grind for augmented crypt weapons

[pearl crystal]

How do I start Field craft and Tradecraft levequests? I'm at least level 5 in all crafting skills (mining is highest at 28-29). Do they need to be higher?

[twilit arch]

have you unlocked leves as a whole?

[pearl crystal]

Yes I have

[slate arrow]

as in, have you done the introduction leve

[pearl crystal]

Levequests and Guildleves

[slate arrow]

also, ARR leves are all over the place

[warped nest]

Btw you can just do your lvl 1-15 recipes once to level up your crafters to lvl 15 ish

Just buy mats from the respective guild NPC

[slate arrow]

You should use a leve guide to find out where the leves are for your appropriate level

[twilit arch]

for 1-15, the leves for the crafter/gatherer are going to be in the unlock zones

[obsidian patio]

The starting cities have leves from 1-50 for the crafters in their city

[twilit arch]

i.e limsa for armor/blacksmith

[pearl crystal]

Nothing is available for Tradecraft or Fieldcraft though

[twilit arch]

you need to unlock the various leve locations outside of the major city

[pearl crystal]

Ok that all makes sense

[obsidian patio]

The ones outside the cities are kinda spread about but for past 15 they all start sharing locales

[twilit arch]

since a fair number of them, for crafters especially, are courier leves

what discipline works best with fishing in terms of making a profit and stuff

also what does fishing have to offer outside profit

[open ember]

Culinarian

And probably alchemist

[stray carbon]

hmm

[open ember]

Culinarian mostly tho

[plain python]

I heard it is easier to get queue into higher level alliance raid if you queue like 12-18 hours after daily reset?

in Japan server

[twilit arch]

fisher really isn't that great for making money tbh

there are times when it does make decent money, but its not very consistent tho

[stray carbon]

is there anything outside profit fisher does

[twilit arch]

out of all of the gatheres, fisher is largely there for...funmadness

you can get some minions/mounts from it, thru ocean fishing

[stray carbon]

ig ill start with mining then

and see where it goes

[teal zealot]

should I be doing my pugilist job quests or just rush the main quest if i plan on swapping to samurai at level 50?

[faint flare]

Job quests are MANDATORY

Otherwise you're griefing

[plain python]

you do MSQ quest until next level of job quest

[faint flare]

You'll be lacking very major skills

[twilit arch]

even if you aren't planning on playing that job as a main, you should be doing your job quests whenever available

[plain python]

job quest sometimes gives you skills too

[faint flare]

And people will kick you so fast if you're still a class in lv30+ dungeons

[teal zealot]

gotcha, thanks guys!

[plain python]

you can still do contents with basic classes, but your power is gimped. Same rewards, more efforts for no reason.

i eventually become a monk right?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its a direct upgrade

With the rest of your kit

[civic flare]

If I move at all during my BLM opener, I lose enochian around my last fire 4. Is that because I’m using jp opener with 3000 ss and it will be fixed when I get to 3500? Or is it because I’m not supposed to move at all during opener?

[twilit arch]

are you using the modified JP opener or the JP opener?

[twilit arch]

because from what i understand if its the JP opener, and not the modified, then you don't have the SS for it though @raw solstice can probably confirm that

[raw solstice]

you need a bit more sps to do the JP opener yes. But the issue actually isn't with AF timer lasting, but with the thundercloud proc lasting long enough to use in UI. Make sure you're doing the opener exactly as listed, without delaying any spells

[civic flare]

Meaning I shouldn’t move at all?

[raw solstice]

but yeah, at that sps, should be doing mod JP (which is just JP but with prepull LL)

[civic flare]

And yes. Trying to use normal jp not modified so I don’t have to learn it twice. Planning on getting to 3500 soon

[raw solstice]

it's literally the same thing but with prepull LL. And in a decent number of fights you'll want to prepull LL to help with timings, anyways

[civic flare]

Gotcha. I thought only downside is I wouldn’t have lighting up at all times

Didn’t realize ll helps get it all off before I lose enochian

[raw solstice]

but mmm, you can move if you really want/need to during the opener, as long as you don't leave your LL, since you have some instants there. But there's rarely a reason to have to move within that amount of time

again, the AF timer isn't that tight for JP/mod JP opener

if you're having issues with that, then you're delaying some spells

the failure point is your thundercloud proc not lasting enough to use as filler in UI, without a natural proc to refresh the timer

AF timer really isn't an issue

[raw sorrel]

Can someone recommend a DPS and Tank class suitable for my monkey brain? I’m a WHM main

[raw solstice]

it's actually the most forgiving for AF timer out of any of the openers

[analog gate]

WAR for tank, RDM/BRD probably for dps

[faint flare]

Dancer and Warrior

[civic flare]

Sorry. I’m relatively new. Really appreciate the help. What is AF timer?

[raw solstice]

AF = astral fire

[civic flare]

Thanks.

And you mean thundercloud proc not giving me the free mp benefit is my failure point?

[raw solstice]

yeah basically you need to be able to go through your AF cycle, including the manafont -> F4 -> Despair, then B3 -> sharp -> thundercloud proc

the only tight part of the opener is that proc lasting for use there

if you have too low of sps for the opener, you should still be able to do the AF cycle plenty fine, but that proc just won't last to that point unless it reprocs naturally

[civic flare]

Got it. Thank you so much!

And I think this is last question... sorry to bother.

When I finish modified jp with blizzard 4, do I jump into rotation at 1 filler then fire 3? Or do I start from blinders 3 beginning?

[wispy flare]

can someone explain how drifting works?

I’m not quite sure how to make that work for reassemble for MCH so it aligns with Drill

[faint flare]

Drifting happens when you delay/dont use a skill immediately when its available

It "drifts" away from the natural rotation

If you use drill on cooldown it means you end up holding Reassemble for 5s

[wispy flare]

Ah, okis, I wasnt familiar with the terminology at all

[faint flare]

If you dont then you need to hold it for longer

[slate arrow]

For example, triple weaving is a way to drift your cooldowns

[raw solstice]

so after JP/mod JP opener, your UI is B3 (sharp) T3P B4. Then you go into just a more standard rotation, F3 -> F4x3 -> F1 -> F4x3 Despair. And for the second thundercloud proc you get that you just sharped, you just generally use it when the DoT is falling off or proc is about to expire, wherever that ends up happening

[wispy flare]

for mch rotation, would it be better to drift reassemble only for drill then?

[faint flare]

You're holding it on purpose

For 5s

To hit it with drill

[raw solstice]

I wouldn't really agree that triple weaving is a way to drift your cooldowns, really

triple weaving is a bit of a separate issue

[eager fog]

i can ask about subcription here right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[wispy flare]

oki dokis

[eager fog]

ok here is my question, does it matter from which eu store i buy the subscription or it doesnt make any difference?

[remote lintel]

doesnt matter

just needs to be for your region

[civic flare]

You’re the beat. Greatly appreciated

I think the only thing I don’t understand is when to use sharp during the rotation. In the rotation I just use it when it says.

[slate arrow]

You use sharp to proc thundercloud

Which is basically a free movement gcd

[raw solstice]

not strictly no

you aim to use sharp roughly on cd at the next available weaving window, on whatever comes next between thunder refresh or fire cast

[civic flare]

So during any of my triple cast f4 or dispairs?

Or after a xenoglossy that randomly replaces a t3?

[raw solstice]

tripled/swifted spells, procs, xeno, or after a fast F3/B3

[civic flare]

If I use it whenever, isn’t there a risk I don’t get to a t3 or a f3 in the rotation within the 15 s until it expires?

[raw solstice]

it'd be an F1 not an F3, but sure that's a possibility. And if that's the case, then a slight delay is warranted. It's not usually the case, though

also keep in mind you can, for example, use an F1 earlier in AF to catch the sharp, and then use the proc later in AF to refresh your timer

something like: (sharp used before, falling off early in AF) -> F3 -> F1 -> F4x3 -> firestarter proc -> F4x3 -> Despair. Or something like that, there's a decent bit of flexibility with how you can do things

[civic flare]

Gotcha. So it’s not a dps loss to mix in a f3 if you can fit it in. That’s what I was missing.

Basically, you want to use it whenever firestarter procs?

[raw solstice]

In a perfect world with perfect play, where you can't take advantage of firestarter procs for movement, weaving, keeping AF timer going, or just generally to help with casting uptime, firestarter procs are roughly dps neutral. In reality, due to the above and other more niche situations, they end up being a gain, not a loss.

So unless you have a very specific reason to not use firestarter procs in a given situation (like alignment reasons, etc), you'll generally want to make sure to use them. Specifically in AF at some point before you B3--you really don't want to carry firestarter procs over into UI

[civic flare]

Awesome. I tested everything you helped with on a dumby and it’s working perfectly. Only thing is my sharpcast at end of opener has about 5 s on cool down when I get to it

[raw solstice]

ah, so JP/mod JP have specific timing to use sharpcast prepull, at around -12s

without that, you won't have sharp coming up at the proper time to weave after that B3

with a normal 15s pull timer, it'll be when the 15s text fades on screen. Without a pull timer or with something else, you just kinda have to wing it and not sharp the proc

not much you can do

[civic flare]

Ahhh. I was wondering what that -12s in shape and -4 we’re on ll we’re

[raw solstice]

yeah the "-" just means to use them x seconds prepull

[civic flare]

Everything makes complete sense. Thanks!!

My dps just skyrocketed 😄

[raw solstice]

nice, glad to hear it <3

[oblique yew]

is ilvl that important even if the stats are abysmal?

[slate arrow]

unless it's NQ gear, yes

since ilvl is the only way to get more main stats

[oblique yew]

nq?

[slate arrow]

Normal Quality

Aka gear without this symbol for crafted

only for White/Grey and crafted Green gear though

Blue gear (Raid/Tomestone) are automatically HQ, stat wise

[oblique yew]

what about exarchic gear?

[slate arrow]

Exarchic is Crafted, so you want HQ

If it's NQ, it's stats overall are closer to like, 500 stuff.

[civic flare]

Are all spells triple cast, swift cast, sharpcast, ley lines, and mana front all supposed to be weaved?

[raw solstice]

yep, in general you want to try to weave all oGCDs. In case of emergency like if you really have to clip triple or swift to move, or if you need an urgent addle or manaward or surecast up, you can clip them

[slate arrow]

You can clip them if you need to. Not casting at all is a loss compared to clipping to cast

what rika said

[raw solstice]

but then you want to try to figure out how to weave them for next time

[civic flare]

Thanks!

[oblique yew]

from the eden savage raids

i can get only one book per raid?

[slate arrow]

one book per floor per week

for current raids

[oblique yew]

floor?

[raw solstice]

just a way to refer to the different fights, mostly because you progress through them sequentially each week since it has a weekly reset

[oblique yew]

and the last one gives a weapon right?

[raw solstice]

yeah, weapon is from the last fight. A clear of the last fight of the tier (in this case, referred to as E12S) drops a random weapon, and a coffer you can open up on a job of your choosing for the weapon. Along with chestpiece, mount, minion, and orchestrion roll. All of which you have to roll against other people to win.

or just spend the book/pages you get, one per clear per week. 8 from that fight can be traded in for a weapon of your choosing, or a chestpiece of your choosing

[oblique yew]

this one gives a need roll as well right?

[raw solstice]

yeah if the random weapon that drops is for your job, you can roll need on it, while people on other jobs would have to greed if they wanted it

[oblique yew]

does need triumph a greed roll? i havent paid attention to it

[crystal bluff]

yes

[raw solstice]

yeah need always wins vs greed

[crystal bluff]

a 1 need will beat a 100 greed

[honest anvil]

there are different savage loot etiquettes that you’ll learn as you do savage btw; it wont always be ffa ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oblique yew]

wdym?

[finite topaz]

On Party Finder it is 99% of the times a FFA

On Statics, loot is pre-arranged

[oblique yew]

what's ffa?

[raw solstice]

free for all

[twilit arch]

free for all

[finite topaz]

Free for all, everyone rolls as they want to roll

[oblique yew]

how come all savage raids are locked for me?

only the umbra one is unlocked

[raw solstice]

when they're on weekly lockout, you have to clear them in order each week

[finite topaz]

Its why we call em floors

You must do the "first" floor in order to go to the 2nd floor

[oblique yew]

oh

so there are 8 floors?

[finite topaz]

No

4

[shut panther]

4 per tier

12 total

Anything but the most recent tier being done is rare

[oblique yew]

then what is this first phase and final phase?

[shut panther]

Informative as to group purpose, not anything gameplay wise

[honest anvil]

final fights of 2 most recent tiers are split into 2 parts so 2 phases

phases are separated by a boss transformation

is how i see it at least; there might be a more technical definition

[finite topaz]

It's nothing, that's just for Queueing

No one queues for savage in DF with randoms, unless memeing or actually not knowing

[raw solstice]

I mean, they're just generally talking about the setting in high end duty finder. Which like mentioned, is really just more informational

they do have the JP role, though

[oblique yew]

i am queuing through df though

[shut panther]

You.. shouldn't be.

[oblique yew]

why not?

what's the diff?

[crystal bluff]

because no one queues for savages in DF

[shut panther]

Because Savage content, outside of Japan, does not happen in DF

[oblique yew]

i am playing in japan though

[remote lintel]

people generally expect you to already know the fight if youre queueing for endgame content in jp

[oblique yew]

and isnt df and pf both with random people?

[raw solstice]

PF you can kinda plan things out and have a more premade party

[oblique yew]

pf is even worse

[rigid narwhal]

df for prog this late in the tier, you shouldn't be doing it

you should be using pf

[crystal bluff]

how is PF worse

[raw solstice]

whereas DF you just get tossed in with whoever is also queueing

[oblique yew]

all have the tag duty complete tag

[rigid narwhal]

yes

[shut panther]

The expectation in DF is that you know the fight top to bottom.

[rigid narwhal]

make your own

[crystal bluff]

then make your own prog party

[remote lintel]

then make your own learning party

[oblique yew]

if you fail 2-3 times they just abandon

[finite topaz]

Queueing for Savage in DF basically means you'll take a lot of time to find a group, and when you find one, people can be in different levels of progress, so you could clash, best bet is to just use PF

[remote lintel]

because they usually say which part they want to prog and expect you to know all the mechs up to that

[shut panther]

Yes. At this point in the tier, people are mostly looking to get in and get out.

[rigid narwhal]

the only fight with a consistent first and final phase is e12s

[oblique yew]

japan pf is weird man

[rigid narwhal]

df is kinda shitty for prog, and most people even in jp will use pf for prog

[oblique yew]

everyone talks about macros

[rigid narwhal]

df for reclears

[shut panther]

Unless the PF explicitly says "learning party"

[oblique yew]

and if i ask about macros here, you people dont recommend it

[remote lintel]

macros for instructions

[rigid narwhal]

wat

[remote lintel]

on what to do

[crystal bluff]

they use macros to type out their strats
not to do the fight

[shut panther]

Macros are to get everyone on the same page in terms of fight mechanical roles.

[rigid narwhal]

is an e9s macro

[raw solstice]

macros for actually using skills and such are often ill-advised. Macros which are informational to show strats are very, very good

[rigid narwhal]

in na, they'll dance around waymarks to assign these positions

[raw solstice]

completely different world and purpose

[finite topaz]

PF allows you to find/make a PF with the specs that suit you

@oblique yew I also recommend watching a videoguide for Savage before you get into it, look for the name of the fight in Youtube and a guide should pop up

[shut panther]

Because there's different strategies that different groups use

[rigid narwhal]

basically you call out a spot, and it assigns you positions according to the macro

and yeah, watch video

so that macro makes sense

going in blind, ill advised, you're trapping other people, they'll blacklist you

[finite topaz]

Going blind during 1st month

Is no issue

Going blind currently? Big nono

[rigid narwhal]

even if the only party says 'tile prog', you've seen antiair/wide angle once

you're trapping all those ppl cos they have to reprog you

[shut panther]

Especially in Japan, lol. You'll be blacklisted by half the data centre in a week.

[rigid narwhal]

and they'll disband when they see you can't do the fight up to their progpoint

[honest anvil]

jp is not that bad

[oblique yew]

it is

2-3 failed attempts

and disband

[shut panther]

It was slight hyperbole. Slight.

[rigid narwhal]

are you trapping them

[finite topaz]

Enne plays in JP tho

[remote lintel]

well are you joining without bothering to read their descriptions

then yes theyll disband once they realize you cant do it

[oblique yew]

i aint doing shit

[finite topaz]

Are you dying?

[oblique yew]

maybe a bit of less damage

[rigid narwhal]

if you're doing this

"
even if the only party says 'tile prog', you've seen antiair/wide angle once"

[oblique yew]

but that is because of my gear

[rigid narwhal]

you're trapping them

[finite topaz]

Gear can be a trap

[rigid narwhal]

nah

[finite topaz]

But anyways, are you dying?

[rigid narwhal]

i500 is fine for e9/e10

[remote lintel]

if you join a party with a specific mech theyre trying to prog and you dont know the fight at all then yes youre dragging them down and theyre going to leave

[finite topaz]

Everyone must be in the same metaphorical page

[oblique yew]

worst part is

[finite topaz]

If you arent in the same page

You get the boot

[oblique yew]

i dont even speak the language

[remote lintel]

theres plenty of people who speak english in jp

[rigid narwhal]

ait

wait

antihero, what datacenter and server are you on

[shut panther]

Have you a) watched a video

B) been joining learning parties

If you have not done, and are not doing these things

[oblique yew]

tonberry

[shut panther]

You are trapping people

[finite topaz]

This is not their fault bro

Assuming you cant communicate, that means you arent able to perform as to what they want

Cuz you dont know what they want

[rigid narwhal]

then tf you talking about

join en parties

in pf

use df for reclears when you know the strats, can read the macros

call all that matters if your positions

make an en prog partyu

join an en prog party

there are plenty in peak hours

[finite topaz]

Make an EN prog party

[shut panther]

I would probably also add

If you haven't completed Emerald ex

[finite topaz]

And watch a video guide @oblique yew if you havent

[shut panther]

You shouldn't be doing Savage

[finite topaz]

Mechanics are to be solved in one way

[rigid narwhal]

nah piss off lol

[remote lintel]

doing EX doenst matter if youre confident you can learn fast

[rigid narwhal]

you can do savage without doing emerald

[shut panther]

If he has no high end experience

[finite topaz]

I mean yes... but this dude has been trapping people

[rigid narwhal]

you dont need it dude

[shut panther]

It would probably be the best place to get his feet wet.

[rigid narwhal]

he's been trapping but he's been joining jp parties

[remote lintel]

EX is a good step but not needed if you're good at learning

[honest anvil]

i mean, emerald is a good learning step ye

[finite topaz]

I'd recommend doing EX Trials as they are the Kiddie pool level, instead of just throwing yourself down into the Pool that is Savage

[rigid narwhal]

rn this is the only jp party

[shut panther]

If the dude has literally zero high end duty experience how would he know that he's a fast learner

[rigid narwhal]

only umbra party*

https://slpe.me/i/n21a27c.png

if he's like 'i cant read the language but it says practice'

[remote lintel]

by being able to pick up on other mechanics relatively fast throughout other gameplay?

[shut panther]

The game doesn't have any remotely challenging gameplay until.. high end duties?

[finite topaz]

I mean... based on what he's said, i dont think he's picked up

But anyways @oblique yew watch a videoguide for e9s

[remote lintel]

yes but people generally have an idea of their skills just by how fast they pick up on things

[rigid narwhal]

here is the specific video jp uses for their seeds strat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMJ2W5_MLW8&feature=youtu.be

[remote lintel]

i jumped straight into savage with no prior experience of any high end gameplay and i learned it relatively fast

its not impossible to do if you're good at paying attention under pressure

[rigid narwhal]

it's fine

[finite topaz]

I dont think he can read japanese

[rigid narwhal]

yeah but if he's at least seen brambles

he can understand the visuals

[oblique yew]

it does say practice though

[rigid narwhal]

yeah

and there are different parts of the fight

it's a long fight

[remote lintel]

also jp is probably the best region for progging with pugs

[finite topaz]

So did i, but then again i could communicate with my party

[remote lintel]

unlike the shitshow that is NA

[rigid narwhal]

like, if you know up to part 3 of the fight, and there are 10 parts of the fight. this party might be up to part 8, but they're still pracing cos they need to know up to part 10. you are trapping them, because there are 5 whole parts of the fight that you dont know

if you dont understand this simple concept

fuck

[finite topaz]

Fights are long, you dont just "Practice" a whole fight, you practice a set of mechanics, and if you already know the first or second mechanic, but are having issues on the 3rd, you're STILL ON PRACTICE

[oblique yew]

up until now i have just been following people

[rigid narwhal]

watch a video ffs

[remote lintel]

watch a guide

[rigid narwhal]

join en parties

[oblique yew]

fine man

[finite topaz]

Dear god dude...

[remote lintel]

guides are mandatory in savage unless youre specifically joining a blind prog

otherwise youre wasting everyone else's time

[honest anvil]

ye following people doesnt work for savage fwiw

[rigid narwhal]

trapping = wasting everyone elses times

[finite topaz]

Not only that, he is also wasting his own time

[rigid narwhal]

which is what you are doing by doing what you're doing

[shut panther]

Yeah, there's a reason you've been getting 2-3 + disband.

I stand by the statement that you should do ex first -- so you understand the basics of high end content

[remote lintel]

yeah sounds like you dont know just how high end savage really is

and whats required of you

[rigid narwhal]

they see you follow them, kill them, they communicate in japanese cos it's the first mech, directed at you 'hey wtf you doing?' you dont reply, they try once or twice more, you dont reply. they disband and find a new person who isn't you

[shut panther]

Pretty much.

[faint flare]

People are here to learn mechanics, not carry you

You need to learn mechanics yourself

[rigid narwhal]

people in japan dont usually care about carrying you in other ways, just do mechanics, dont kill other people

it's ok!

en people do but if you do reclears in df

[queen wolf]

how do i whisper someone?

[rigid narwhal]

it dont matter

[queen wolf]

without clicking on them or their name

[remote lintel]

/tell firstname lastname@world

[queen wolf]

@lusty ferry? so the world theyre on?

omg sorry

[remote lintel]

lmao

yes

[rigid narwhal]

hahahahhaha

poor guy

[shut panther]

Basically, from level 1-80, in any non high end content, you're riding a tricycle. You can't actually fail.

[remote lintel]

so it would be /tell john smith@excalibur

[shut panther]

Ex content is a bicycle with training wheels. Savage is a bicycle you're riding with 7 other people with no training wheels.

[jade quartz]

Their home world, not necessarily the world they’re currently on

[shut panther]

If you don't know how to ride the bicycle and 7 people who do are repeatedly smashing their knees on concrete.. they're not inviting you to their birthday party.

[gloomy mortar]

Happy Birthday

[queen wolf]

thanks for helping btw!

[finite topaz]

It's ok to make mistakes like you did, but now that you know how it is, you cant keep making them

Dont let this experience keep you from doing Savage tho, the least we need is another player blaming others for their shortcomings

Strive go be good, and good luck on yer progs, hope you clear @oblique yew

[remote lintel]

is e12s really like 20 fuckin minutes long

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[remote lintel]

why is it longer than ultimates

thats illegal

[rigid narwhal]

it's like

[faint flare]

Because its two parts

[rigid narwhal]

8m

8m

[faint flare]

Good old door boss

[twilit arch]

fastest clears are 6mins &7mins

[remote lintel]

how the hell did they do that

[twilit arch]

[remote lintel]

oh

[twilit arch]

so total would be 13mins~

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[faint flare]

Its stormblood Door bosses all over again

[vocal shell]

Its same length as e8s

[honest anvil]

what’s tea’s fastest kill?

[twilit arch]

16min

[honest anvil]

wait, even the fastest cant skip any mech? cause isnt the enrage at like, 16:30 or sth?

[remote lintel]

teas enrage is like 18 mins?

[honest anvil]

oh

[finite topaz]

The iLVL is already tight, you cant really skip much, considering people that do ultimates are on a not-so-different skill level between each other

[little swift]

you have to consider TEA is still "current"

you don't ilvl sync enough to maximize substats yet

[slate carbon]

which stormblood alliance raid is the fastest?

[crystal bluff]

rabanastre

[finite topaz]

First one

[slate carbon]

thank you

[gloomy mortar]

What happens if you AFK in Praetorium? Do you get credit and just teleport to the next stage? Farming Irregulars

[jade quartz]

You get kicked

[shut panther]

Hopefully, you get kicked.

[gloomy mortar]

By the game or by the players

[shut panther]

By the players

[jade quartz]

If not one then the other

[finite topaz]

You sir, disgust me

Please do not AFK in duties

[jade quartz]

There is an afk timer for duties.

But also

Fucking don’t Jesus

[remote lintel]

if youre going to farm tomes then do pvp

or aurum vale

[gloomy mortar]

Thanks I’ll try it

[shut panther]

Just do what everyone else does and keep Netflix open in another tab/monitor

bots

[jade quartz]

Bots

[timber gull]

the dock at alreport

[silver ruin]

[timber gull]

they log in and out in an area you can't get to

[shut panther]

You can report them if you like. It won't do much good, but it might make you feel better.

[timber gull]

what are the bots up to?

[silver ruin]

again: bots

probably leveling fisher?

not 100% sure

[timber gull]

they flick in and out in a split second

[shut panther]

Yeah they teleport

[timber gull]

probably logging out when a player is near?

[jade quartz]

Yep

Position hacking

Not logging

[timber gull]

makes sense, can't even click on them when they're there

No

Yea

[jade quartz]

Not anywhere near osrs lol

[shut panther]

Pretty much every leveling zone, you will encounter cluster fucks like that.

[gloomy ice]

Bots are kind of ubiquitous in any MMO but, here, they're not as... disruptive as I've seen in other games.

[jade quartz]

Yeah occasionally

[shut panther]

The game is largely a single player experience out in the world, so it won't impact you directly much.

[finite topaz]

Some newbies get disrupted cuz bots apparently are able to dry out the quest-required mobs that the newbies must kill

[jade quartz]

But it’s nothing like RS.

RS botting situation is absurd

Here it’s a minor problem.

[timber gull]

in rs it's amazing when you bump into a real person

[jade quartz]

And you seldom see them outside the base game

[timber gull]

that's good

[plain python]

does the element of your attack skills means anything in Eureka?

[honest anvil]

i didn't notice any weird resist grinding with my whm so i think no >.>

[raven sage]

Yes. Every element has a weakness, so you want to be using the element the enemy you're fighting is weak to for more damage

[gloomy ice]

Just for the element board. Your actual skills are unaffected.

[jade quartz]

you using fire vs. ice vs. lightning spells as a BLM for instance makes no difference.

All that matters is what element your magia board is set to.

I just finished the last quest of ARR, looks like there's 70+ patch quests before I can start the first xpac. Are these MSQ quets mandatory, or can I skip them?

[twilit arch]

usually has extra stuff, i.e minions/orchestrions

mandatory @wind dragon

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch ic,thx

[wind dragon]

oh man, I was looking forward to starting Heavensward.. sigh.. are they worth doing at least?

[jade quartz]

yes

[twilit arch]

it can be a bit slow to pick up, but its worth playing thru

[jade quartz]

after about halfway through you're basically in the prologue for heavensward

[twilit arch]

especially the closer to heavensward, since the later part of it sets up for hw's story

[wind dragon]

k

[jade quartz]

jumping to HW without doing them you'd be missing a lot of setup and context

it's a little slow and fillery-feeling at the start, though

aight, I better get started, got a lot of ground to cover it seems hahaha

thx for the info

[bronze narwhal]

what is the recommended class/job for soloing eureka?

[twilit arch]

with the echo buff, its pretty soloable by anything

[bronze narwhal]

ah, so any dps will do right? doesnt have to be a tank?

[twilit arch]

ye

[bronze narwhal]

alright thank you

[shut panther]

You're definitely still better off on a tank or RDM, IMO

But it's certainly doable by anything.

[shut panther]

I'd recommend buying an osode or the caster equivalent asap in any case if you intend to do Eureka, though.

It's a massive buff in the first zone, which gradually diminishes to a small one in the final zone.

[leaden ginkgo]

i keep seeing parse in PF,what does that mean?

[honest anvil]

good parse = doing good dps

[jade quartz]

Parse = dps meter reading by third-party dps meter software

(ACT)

[onyx anchor]

what's with the black lines? :p

[spare plinth]

oops

[finite topaz]

what's the aspect ratio?

[onyx anchor]

4:3

[teal zealot]

How come I get disconnected everytime I queue for my first dungeon?

using the duty finder

[honest anvil]

? Disconnected how? bad internet or an in-game message?

[teal zealot]

Just kicks me to character select screen

[honest anvil]

that’s odd @@

[teal zealot]

Yeah it's only when I'm queued for Duty Finder. I haven't got dc'd yet this time but having really bad lag spikes now

[candid ruin]

If i have a glamour plate using healer gear can i apply that plate to a dps class?

[honest anvil]

no

[candid ruin]

oh bother

[honest anvil]

Wack, so you've had that ratio forever, and this is the first time you see the lines?

I think there was a setting to toggle that on during cutscenes... did you toggle it on?

[onyx anchor]

i might've

have been messing around with settings recently

[burnt crown]

hi, I just finished my first dungeon (main quest), and wanna ask if I better make some dps during bosses or dungeons? conjurer lv 20 btw.

I did apply Aero for dot but then switch back right away to tank and wait to heal him

[leaden ginkgo]

Healers do dps in this game. So when nobody needs healing, dps

[burnt crown]

ty, will try

[leaden ginkgo]

You'll get used to it

[warped nest]

Don't wait

Once you apply Aero, keep using stone on boss

And heal the tank when they need it.

Use different healing spells on yourself to get a rough idea how much they heal, knowing how much you can heal at any given moment will help you juggle between hitting the boss and taking care of your party member

[leaden ginkgo]

It comes with experience tbh. After awhile you get a good feel for how much your healing will do, and how low someone can drop in hp before you heal them

[warped nest]

Yup

[leaden ginkgo]

It's a learning process, but you'll get the hang of it. =D

[jade quartz]

Know that mana isn't really an issue for healers 99% of the time.

[burnt crown]

ty all for guides! Imma try it when next dungeon quest comes

[warped nest]

Good luck and have fun

[leaden ginkgo]

Triage healing doesn't come up much. So don't worry about your mana for now. Like Lima said

[burnt crown]

[trim kindle]

Does Burning Auricle still drop from bahamut prime? Gamerescape says that's the drop location, but on its page of bahamut prime drops it doesn't list it.

[jade quartz]

It does.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/296bf52d8c1/

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/npc/enemy/9e83ee0d9d4/

Note it drops directly in your inventory, not in the treasure coffer.

[trim kindle]

Ah, alright! Thanks!

I guess the follow up would be, because it doesn't come from a chest, would it be subject to the "if undersized....enemies will not yield items" restriction when farming unsynced?

[jade quartz]

I'm...not sure actually

[warped nest]

I want to say that one is probably targetting enemy kill drop, like wolf fang or fur

But not direct drop from clearing instance

But I can't be sure either

[vernal urchin]

is that a guaranteed drop normally?

[trim kindle]

I don't think so, but I can't remember the last time doing it synced

[jolly sorrel]

Doing some googling, it seems that the Kingly Whisker from Moggle Ex does drop unsynced

So I guess by extension--

[trim kindle]

Thanks!

[onyx anchor]

What does it mean by "Interrupts the use of a target's action" with Head Graze?

[jade quartz]

It stops certain types of cast bars

I need help finding Owyne to complete Deliver letter to Owyne I have it on the map but can't find it

[jade quartz]

Speak to the Sultansworn Elite to enter the Sultansworn office.

He's in there.

[quasi basin]

@jade quartz Where is Sulstansworn Elite?

[jade quartz]

Map should've led you there. Near the Alchemist's Guild Aethernet Shard in the Steps of Thal, upstairs level.

[quasi basin]

@jade quartz ok

@jade quartz Can.t find him Im in the Yayake Guild

[jade quartz]

That's the Thaumaturges' Guild, not the Alchemists' Guild

Speak to the lift operator at the south end of the Ruby Road Exchange in the Steps of Nald and have him bring you to Hustings Strip

That's the upstairs level

The Alchemists' Guild is up on that level.

[quasi basin]

@jade quartz Ok

Is it possible to change the font style of the text in game?

nope

[low lynx]

how is this possible then?

[jade quartz]

I meant in like 24-25 hours, not just "today" XD

[teal zealot]

When can I get my first mount?

[slate arrow]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[vital ruin]

How to get the cold fog spell
Already killed boss
When does the boss use the spell

What does it look like

[vernal urchin]

when the dragon heads start casting cold fog, don't kill them

just mitigate the damage from it and continue the fight

iirc when i did it our group killed all but one of them and i think that worked

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[vernal inlet]

Can I like put a glamour A on one equipment and save it into gearslot A, but on the same equipment can I put glamour B and save it into gearslot B?

[obsidian patio]

One mini head needs to explode

[vernal inlet]

and when i switch back and forth would glamour A and B be saved?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[jade quartz]

Yes

[vernal inlet]

dang

what

no yes?

[obsidian patio]

You’d need a glamour dresser for that

[vernal inlet]

whats that?

[jade quartz]

Using the glamour dresser yeah

You need to create a glamour plate and link it to each gearset

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[jade quartz]

Then gearset 1 and gearset 2, even if they shared actual gear pieces, could have different glamour presets linked to them.

[vernal inlet]

okay thank you!

[low lynx]

how do I unlock this guildhest?

i dont see the NPC at those coordinates

[jade quartz]

You unlock guildhests in order by doing the ones that come before them

so

[vernal urchin]

those coords are where the duty takes place

[jade quartz]

Clear all your existing guildhests

you don't actually have to talk to the battlewardens

[low lynx]

i did the ones before

[jade quartz]

just queue up by duty finder

[vernal inlet]

okay just to clarify I put in the gear that I want to glamour, not the gear Im going to be using right?

[jade quartz]

Complete More than a Feeler.

[jade quartz]

The gear that you want to use the appearance of goes in the glamour dresser.

[vernal inlet]

oaky thank you

[carmine goblet]

Anyone have any clue as to why this macro mysteriously stopped executing my mount? it has been working for the longest time so when I press it, it uses my mount and if it's a non-mount area, it does sprint. For some reason stopped working after I changed the mount name, which I have always done if I feel like switching out mounts but now it doesn't want to execute my mount but only sprint

[jade quartz]

need to use /mount not /ac

/mount Kirin

[carmine goblet]

oh

I have no clue when I changed that

accident I guess

thanks

[jade quartz]

uwu

[vernal inlet]

do I have to manually change using hte glamour plate set though?

[jade quartz]

You can link glamour plates to gear sets

[vernal inlet]

hm not sure how that works

because when I tried it it just goes back to my recently saved glamour set

[jade quartz]

Go to the gear set list, right click a gear set > link to glamour plate

[vernal inlet]

instead of saving it seperately

oh i got it! thank you

[jade quartz]

Note changing glamour plates will only work properly when inside cities though

so if you switch gear sets out in the wild it won't do it

[jolly sorrel]

Wonder why they did that

Doesn't seem to add anything to the game

[jade quartz]

Server limitations.

[vernal inlet]

oh okay

[jade quartz]

City zones are equipped to handle moving around a lot of items and processing a lot of requests of that sort from the game client

[jolly sorrel]

Aha, I never knew that was a thing.

[carmine goblet]

also, side question. any way to increase font size during NPC dialogue? im kinda blind. Tried to go into settings and never found a way to increase it specifically there, but only everywhere else. Dialogue like this

[slate arrow]

yeah no compared to other MMOs (we don't have exact numbers) FFXIV has the most data per character, probably

[jade quartz]

Perhaps at some point in the future it will be made possible to change glam plates anywhere.

[slate arrow]

control right click > increase element size

or just do overall hud scaling in Character settings, I believe?

[carmine goblet]

this isn't working

[carmine goblet]

i'll try this though

oh wait

[vital ruin]

How to change the settings so it shows the percentage of boss hp
Used final sting with buffs and died gogo probably had like 2% hp left

[jade quartz]

Character config > UI settings > HUD > Display target's remaining HP percentage

[vital ruin]

Thanks :)

[vernal urchin]

tfw been playing for over 3 years and didn't know about this

[carmine goblet]

Im guessing the default UI size will do it, but I have it lower for reason to fit all my HUD together as I need

[vernal urchin]

i've been using a macro this entire time

[carmine goblet]

pain

[remote lintel]

@carmine goblet try right clicking the dialogue box in an out of cutscene dialogue?

like just talking to a vendor or something

[carmine goblet]

oh

that worked

I tried that before but it was in a cutscene

I guess that's why it didn't work

yes!

thanks peeps

Guys

[native lark]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if a machinist is better than a black mage? just in terms of dps, and if not by how much

I want to switch from black mage to machinist but Idk if it's a smart idea for me to do that

cause I just finished ARR so idk if I should stick with BLM, kinda getting tired of waiting really long in between casts

[vernal inlet]

so people told me to run synced dungeons to get the piece of gear i want since it will randomly give an equipment for my class everytime i finsih the dungeon? But ive never gotten an item through this way.

is there something that i have to do?

[gloomy ice]

It does that for every dungeon that isn’t levels 50, 60, 70, or 80. All others will deposit a role appropriate gear piece once you kill the boss.

[twilit arch]

you also don't have to be sync'd to get that at the end of the dungeon

[vernal inlet]

oh so swallows compass doesnt do that?

[twilit arch]

No

[vernal inlet]

since its a 70 dungeon

dang

[twilit arch]

@native lark if you want to play mch instead go for it. all jobs are viable, whats more important is whether you enjoy the job you're playing as

[native lark]

are the casts faster than BLM? and is positioning a thing like it is with BLM

[twilit arch]

mch doesn't have casts

[native lark]

oh damn, I'm gonna switch then lol

also is there any way for me to level fast to 50? or should I just continue with msq while at 30

[twilit arch]

!faq altlvlguide

[native lark]

yeah I just started Heavensward

[edgy sail]

Which alliance raid sets have dyeable versions?

[twilit arch]

world of darkness, void ark, the nier raids, and half of weeping city, half of dun scaith

world of darkness sets share model with indigo/the forgiven
void ark shares model with nightsteel/true linen
weeping city/dun scaith shares with facet

[edgy sail]

Cool, thanks

I'm assuming they're expensive on the marketboard too?

[slate arrow]

If they're even on the marketboard, maybe.

[twilit arch]

well the forgiven is dungeon set so

that's not tradeable, and its a leveling dungeon

[slate arrow]

The demand and supply are so low we can't really give an accurate price for them

[twilit arch]

The rest are crafted

WoD/Void ark sets are lvl 70 sets and aren't really in demand anymore

so they're likely to be some what expensive

facet is lvl 80 gear, not really in demand but its atleast current expac so probably can find it somewhat cheap

[edgy sail]

I'll make crafter friends then :)))

If the search is tough

[earnest wraith]

uh... according to patch 5.5 note. we no longer have weekly loot limit on Eden promise right?

[polar badge]

I wish Diabolos fending shares models with Facet
