questions-and-help

[polar badge]

Yes for the normal raid, but not Savage.

[earnest wraith]

oh

okay..

I thought it was savage

thanks

[fast talon]

So I've never been caught up to a patch before, the thing about being able to upgrade 510 crafted gear, that's in regards to exarchic yeah?

[polar badge]

Savage will be in 5.56 if following previous expacs :)

[twilit arch]

savage is always unlocked later

yes @fast talon

[earnest wraith]

🙏

[fast talon]

Eulmoran Certificates of Grandeur can be received in exchange for item level 510 equipment from Hillicen.
But to get the currency required to upgrade it, you need to trade in exarchic gear as well?

[twilit arch]

mhm

basically if you turn in HQ exarchic you should have enough tokens to do the exchange

[fast talon]

... well shoot should have stocked up on the stuff needed to craft exarchic instead of taking the past month off lol

[twilit arch]

so for instance, with previous gear, 1 HQ boot = 33 certificates. You need 33 certs + 3 rain to get the augmented version

but if you exchange NQ, you would get 11 certs. so it'd take 3 NQ to get the certs you need

[slate arrow]

HQ Exarchic is a 1/1 exchange rate for the certificates

[fast talon]

ah so other than the tomes its just a straight upgrade?

[slate arrow]

basically

[fast talon]

oh okay thats not so bad

thought i had to sacrifice my dps for my tanks or something

[twilit arch]

exarchic should be relatively cheap ish

yeah, don't have to worry about that unless you've got NQ version of the gear

[fast talon]

so does anyone have an idea of what ilvl the new yorha raid gear will be at?

[twilit arch]

520

same as unaugmented tomestone

[polar badge]

520

[fast talon]

and i guess augmented exarchic now too

[twilit arch]

mhm

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats the most popular europen data center server

im new to the game

[fast talon]

so you can only get one piece of gear per week from the raid?

[slate arrow]

Yes.

[polar badge]

Yep

On that note, HQ exarchic and raid serves as stat alternatives to augm tome right? Or is ilvl strictly better

Example if HQ/Raid has crit/dhit but aug tome has ten/det

[slate arrow]

the latter in 99% of the cases

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats the most popular europen server?

[polar badge]

ic

[slate arrow]

Since augmented crafted cannot be overmelded

[slate arrow]

Please don't spam questions.

For your answer, we can't really tell you.

The population is pretty even between both.

Also, no official numbers.

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you say which is popular chaos or light?

[fast talon]

I'm not from the EU region but I have heard there's one server that's pretty much dominated by the French and one by the Germans

[slate arrow]

No.

[leaden ginkgo]

Or is that even too

[slate arrow]

Basically.

[fast talon]

So unless you are either French or German, might want to avoid those. Though I don't know which those are.

[polar badge]

Both datacenters has a dead server each

[leaden ginkgo]

i think thats moogle matthaeus

[polar badge]

Twintania and Spriggan respectively

Either DCs are fine tbh

[slate arrow]

I'd recommend just going with a Preferred server for the EXP bonus but it's not required in the least

[polar badge]

Just look up as to what communities the servers has, eg french community

Or ^ too

[leaden ginkgo]

ok im just gonna go spin a wheel

cya

[fast talon]

Oh, I saw this in the patch notes.

The following are weekly story quests that may be completed to continue the story of YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse:

Does that mean a new story quest will unlock every week after 5.5 drops?

[slate arrow]

Possibly?

[obsidian patio]

Looks like only 3?

[slate arrow]

This is a first.

[fast talon]

Is this something they haven't done before?

[obsidian patio]

Might be a storyline choice

[fast talon]

Oh interesting, something I can experience blind with the community.

Oh yeah the Yorha quests have had branching storylines

[slate arrow]

The closest equivalent is probably the Beast Tribes story quests but that's locked on a rep grind

[fast talon]

Speaking of beast tribe, looks like there still isnt an alliance beast tribe quest for ShB

[slate arrow]

Famitsu article confirmed there is no allied BT quest for this upcoming patches

They might retroactively apply it later but who knows

[fast talon]

Though the live letter the other day said that 5.5 has like two updates right

one more coming in May?

[slate arrow]

5.55/part 2, yes

[fast talon]

Oh yeah, did they announce any balance changes to come with 5.5? I know those aren't usually in the preliminary patch notes.

[slate arrow]

Only numbers increases

Any overhauls are for Endwalker

[fast talon]

Any specific jobs?

[slate arrow]

We don't know.

Wait for the fanfest

[fast talon]

Ah I meant for 5.5

Even if it is just number tweaks

[slate arrow]

dragoon and warrior were named

[fast talon]

Like Scholar got a big nerf in 5.4 didnt they even if it was just a number tweak.

[slate arrow]

But we won't know until actual patch notes drop Tuesday

[fast talon]

Alright, thanks.

[earnest wraith]

Can we estimate how many sack of nuts require to purchase crypt augment material? (using previous expansion as reference)

[slate arrow]

2000 each

[earnest wraith]

thanks :3

[gloomy ice]

2k for accessories. 3k for armor pieces. Iirc that is

[slate arrow]

And you can't initially purchase the weapon augment

[honest anvil]

Like Scholar got a big nerf in 5.4 didnt they even if it was just a number tweak.
@Mr.K#1857 people back then said their overall dmg stayed the same ..

[faint jetty]

whats the patch size generally? Want to know what to expect for 5.5 since Im abroad with very little internet

[slate arrow]

We don't know, but probably half a gig tops. Patches aren't generally too large, since they're like, a tenth of an expansion and no new zones besides the dungeon, usually

They're pretty good about compression.

[faint jetty]

okay sounds good thanks

[worthy basin]

the uncapped raid loot is for eden normal, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

are addons a must in this ame or nah

[faint jetty]

was just looking around, 5.3 was 3gb apperently

[leaden ginkgo]

I mainly just see graphical improvement addons

[slate arrow]

Yes

[glossy flare]

Yes, except for the weapon tokens

though you need less to exchange now

[warped nest]

Graphical are usually for taking nice pictures

Most of them aren't optimized for gameplay

[slate arrow]

The only addon which exists for combat performance is ACT but that's not really an addon

Everything is designed to be playable unmodded

Since you can play on a PS4/PS5

[glossy flare]

ACT is mostly used as dps meter even if there can be other features if you want them

And that's not really required unless you get into savage raiding

Technically not even then i guess

[slate arrow]

Even then it's not too required in savage

[glossy flare]

Though I'd suggest it

[strong saddle]

Wait if I'm on the trial and pass 50 I still cant unlock samurai right?

[worthy basin]

yeah

[warped nest]

Nope

[worthy basin]

you still can't unlock it

[strong saddle]

Okay

[glossy flare]

Samurai is part of SB

[strong saddle]

Just making sure

[glossy flare]

and SB isn't part of the trial

hence no unlocking

Even though 50 technically is the lvl requirement

[warped nest]

There are two requirements

So yeah

[strong saddle]

For thaumaturge, I keep transpose until 60?

[glossy flare]

you still keep it after that

just not in your rotation

[strong saddle]

How so?

[glossy flare]

Because you may want to switch during downtime

Because if you drop astra fire or umbral ice you lose Enochian

[slate arrow]

I still use transpose at 80 for what it's worth

[strong saddle]

Wait so lets say I'm low on mana would I just manually cast blizzard?

[obsidian patio]

You kinda stop using it mainly at 76, but you still want to keep it around

[glossy flare]

I'm not super versed in BLM so take what I say with a grain of salt

[strong saddle]

Okay

[glossy flare]

But you'd probably cast freeze when low on mana

to get to ice III quickly

[slate arrow]

Fire 3 and blizzard 3 automatically set it to f3 and ice3 for the respective element on your gauge

However if there's nothing to hit that's when you use transpose

Also for when you flare before 72

[glossy flare]

ah yeah nvm, freeze is the aoe variant

[slate arrow]

!trait Aspect Mastery

[zinc orbit]

**Aspect Mastery** : lvl 72 BLM

Accumulating full stacks of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice then casting a spell of the opposite element will consume no MP.
Effect does not apply to Flare.

:comfy:

[leaden ginkgo]

whats a good solo class. Also do races matter. Does it change the starting zone or not

[worthy basin]

races doesn't matter

[glossy flare]

I think the only 2 spells you actually stop using completely are Blizzard and Blizzard II

[worthy basin]

its all subjective

[ancient whale]

Guys

[glossy flare]

but correct me if I'm wrong

[ancient whale]

for SAM optimisation what should I prioritize?

[strong saddle]

Inthink once u hit a certain level?

[finite topaz]

SkS tier

[leaden ginkgo]

whats a good solo class? Or just a good dps classi n general

[worthy basin]

as for solo class, every class is balance

[strong saddle]

Yeah

[slate arrow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[strong saddle]

There's no good dps

[ancient whale]

For Materia just dumo SKS?

[glossy flare]

All dps classes are good dps classes

[leaden ginkgo]

whats a job

[finite topaz]

No @ancient whale look for uhh... a SAM guide

[glossy flare]

But if you want a good solo class I would suggest Paladin or Red Mage

[finite topaz]

SAM has a 60s rotation cycle

[glossy flare]

job is just XIV speak for class, though class technically means soemthing different

jobs are like advanced classes

[finite topaz]

In order to hit that rotation effectively, SAM must be in 2.14s, 2.07s or 2.00s GCD speed after speed buffs

[slate arrow]

Upgraded class at level 30 for ARR/base he jobs, expansion "classes" are always jobs

[ancient whale]

yeah I was trying to hit that but seems some of my OGCD don't hit together, maybe because im not 80 yet?

[glossy flare]

Like Gladiator is a class that later turns into a job called Paladin

[lethal mist]

Question about food and EXP bonus:
When I eat two of one food, it instantly changes from 1h to 59min on the timer. No matter how many foods I ate, 1h was the ceiling as far as I could tell. Obviously counting down.

Now, my FC has the "Food stuff increased", and when I neat two foods, it stays at the 1h mark. 1 food gives 40min instead, but the fact that it doesn't diminish makes me believe it actually does count past 1h too? So basically, can I eat like 10 and not bother with it later? Will it count for several hours?

[finite topaz]

You're not 80? then dont even worry

[finite topaz]

1h is the limit

any other time added is wasted

[ancient whale]

im only 70 but i been hearing that its similar

[slate arrow]

No, the cap is 1 hour without FC buffs, up to 1h30m with fc buffs

[lethal mist]

Oh so the FC makes it 1,5h instead?

[finite topaz]

worry about Materia and optimizing when you're at lvl 80

[slate arrow]

Depending on the buff

[obsidian patio]

with the right buff, yes

[ancient whale]

ok ty

[finite topaz]

Oh but

[slate arrow]

There's +5, +10, and +15 minute variants

But the cap is still 1 hour + buffx2

[finite topaz]

lemme answer this tho @ancient whale when you get to lvl 80, you prioritize on Materia:
1-SkS to preferred tier
2-Crit
3-Direct hit
4-Det

there is a little more mix-n-match stat tiering going around, but this is it in a nutshell

[ancient whale]

so for a build just focus on SKS and let armor stats give crit?

or try to balance it

[finite topaz]

No

Oh there is a BiS guide for build

[glossy flare]

There is "too fast" when it comes to SkS

[slate arrow]

Azura lemme just copy what the balance says rq

[finite topaz]

please do

[glossy flare]

so you'll only want it until you hit a certain amount

[finite topaz]

I believe the 2.14 GCD speed is the best one cuz it gives room to doubleweave

[worthy basin]

the relic upgrade would be release at 5.55, right?

[obsidian patio]

SAM is very particular about having specific GCDs due to the inflexibility of their rotation and a very specific cooldown

[slate arrow]

By to tier, it's specifically going for a specific GCD before you go into your higanbana > midare > Tsubeme burst on the minute

[obsidian patio]

yes

[strong saddle]

Any advice on what I should put on my controller far as spells? For thaumaturge?

[obsidian patio]

all of them

lemme see if i can find the pictures i have for my BLM set up

[strong saddle]

Ty. Cuz I'm debating on putting ice spells on one side and fire oncthe other. But I wanna keep my aoe skills together

Plus my burst

[finite topaz]

do not put AoE skills together, on BLM

[obsidian patio]

BLM doesn’t exactly have burst, in the sense of other DPS jobs.

[ancient whale]

okay uhmn so @finite topaz

[slate arrow]

Fire 1, fire 3, fire 4, blizzard 3, blizzard 4, both thunders, flare, despair, umbral soul, freeze

Enochain should be easy to access, aetherial manipulation, sharps cast, swiftcast, triple cast, and manawall are all highly recommended to be easily accessible, but ideally you should have all your abilities bound

[ancient whale]

so w buff i was able to bring my GCD to 1.99s at level 70 just stacking pure speed quickcharm lmao is that cool ?>

[finite topaz]

No

[finite topaz]

@ancient whale refer to this picture

[slate arrow]

there is a such thing as too fast.

[obsidian patio]

For SAM it actively goes against them due to this one skill

[slate arrow]

For example, not having higanbana line up is a pretty decent DPS loss

[obsidian patio]

!action Tsubame-Gaeshi

[zinc orbit]

**Tsubame-gaeshi** : lvl 76 SAM (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.

Powered by XIVAPI

[finite topaz]

This is the SAM lvl 80 rotation

this gives you an idea on why you want said speed

[slate arrow]

Tsubeme should be used with midare on cooldown

[ancient whale]

wait so is that a potion sorry

1st time i seen that a rotation

[slate arrow]

That's the "meta" opener yes

[finite topaz]

Those are Main stat potions; do not bother with them if you arent endgame min-maxing

[slate arrow]

It's assuming you're going for a 99% parse

[teal zealot]

What Grand Order should I pick?

[finite topaz]

Just look at the uhh... "Filler Phase" thingy

[obsidian patio]

this is my set-up currently. 2nd picture is my hold crossbar

[finite topaz]

SAM in order to work flawlessly must be at 2.14, 2.07 or 2.00

[strong saddle]

I know its common sense to use only use aoe in multi target situations. But wouldn't that be a dps lost? If I use lets say freeze,fire 2 iirc, and flare? Wouldn't I use my other spells as well

[obsidian patio]

Being within 0.01-0.02 of those ranges is fine.

You don’t need exactly those

[slate arrow]

Doesn't matter, the most convenient one to access is flames though

[finite topaz]

Grand Company*, and any is fine, they dont make gameplay differences, what they offer is glam(kinda bad imo) and a different salute based on the company you join

[ancient whale]

DAMN THIS GAME WENT FORM IGHT I GOT IT TO. m y fuckking head hurts now

[finite topaz]

You're still lvl 70, dont worry about it

[ancient whale]

yeah i dont think i will screw all that ;-;

[finite topaz]

Just get to 80, and then start worrying

[ancient whale]

ill worry about it when im 80

[slate arrow]

At level 70 you can flare twice so it's freeze thunder 4 fire 3 flare flare transpose/freeze repeat

[finite topaz]

step by step, little by little

[ancient whale]

btw in ur opinion what would be the perfect SKS

[slate arrow]

Whatever you find comfy

[finite topaz]

On SAM? 2.14s

[ancient whale]

ok ty

[finite topaz]

it's the slowest one, so gives you more time to react

[strong saddle]

Well I'm on the trial. So would I have to modify my rotation?

[obsidian patio]

All 3 basically perform the same, so whatever you can easily hit with your gear

[finite topaz]

and also is the one that realistically lets you double-weave

[obsidian patio]

Oops wrong reply

[finite topaz]

Favorite job of Yoshi-P btw

[ancient whale]

wait Double weave thats when i use GCD and OGCD together no?

[finite topaz]

that's normal weaving

[ancient whale]

;-;

[finite topaz]

double-weaving is when you use a GCD>oGCD>oGCD

without clipping

[slate arrow]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[slate arrow]

Unlike other MMOs oGCDs aren't instant in this game

There's a slight animation lock

Realistically, this means you can only fit 2 OGCDs between GCD skills

[ancient whale]

oh like DRG using 2 jumps at the same time?

[obsidian patio]

yes but no

[finite topaz]

Eh...DRG is a special case

Jumps have a longer animation lock

so you can only single-weave with them

But you get the idea

[slate arrow]

Fun fact, dragoon is the only job with an OGCD animation longer than the GCD

!action stardiver

[zinc orbit]

**Stardiver** : lvl 80 DRG (30.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a jumping fire-based attack to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 600 for the first enemy, and 30% less for all remaining enemies.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Life of the Dragon.
Cannot be executed while bound.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

Generally if it's a skill that changes your positioning you can't double-weave it

besides most of the non-jump gapclosers like what the tanks and RDM have

[ancient whale]

so for the cheat sheet u sent

wdym by the filler phase mean

cuz i get the opening phase and the cooldown phase

[slate arrow]

For black mage, usually it's the element you're currently in

So blizzard for ice or fire 4 for fire

[strong saddle]

Honestly do I get rid of fire 1 one one I reach a certain point or no

[slate arrow]

no

[obsidian patio]

That's used to ensure Tsubame-Gaeshi is ready right after using Midare in the burst phase

[ancient whale]

Opener> Cooldown > Filler >Burst

[obsidian patio]

the one you use is based on your GCD

[slate arrow]

You need it to refresh umbral fire

[worthy basin]

you're still going to use fire 1 to refresh the meter

[strong saddle]

Oh okay

[slate arrow]

As fire 4 does no refresh the element timer

[finite topaz]

Basically your cycle will be
Opener>Cooldown>Filler>Burst>Cooldown>filler>burst
burst replaces the Cooldown in the 1>2>3 cycle

[slate arrow]

The same applies for blizzard, but generally you're not in it long enough to need to use blizzard 1

Umbral soul exists for downtime anyways

[finite topaz]

the Filler is just to ensure alignment

[ancient whale]

so i use opener every 4th?

sorry

[finite topaz]

Nah

Opener is used ONCE, when starting, hence opening

[obsidian patio]

the opener is only done once

[ancient whale]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[obsidian patio]

the burst is basically your opener again kinda

[finite topaz]

after that, it's replaced on the table with the burst

[ancient whale]

Ok that makes for sense now

[finite topaz]

It makes me happy to see someone willing to improve

[slate arrow]

The big two things to remember every minute with SAM is higanbana and Tsubeme

[ancient whale]

see i came from dragoon so dragoon opener can be used again after

[slate arrow]

Once you get the timing down for both, you're basically perfect

[finite topaz]

SAM GCD rotation is piss easy, most of the issues arise when one tries to optimize the oGCD and not overcapping and also not overusing the Kenki gauge

[ancient whale]

so litearlly after burst i just pick it up from CD Phase

then goes down

[finite topaz]

Yep

[ancient whale]

okay that makes mreo sense now

[finite topaz]

it's numbered too

[ancient whale]

no i got lost on the cooldwon phase

cuz it had like a red line into it

[strong saddle]

I thought u shouldn't overcap on stuff?

[slate arrow]

If you can.

But sometimes you just can't due to weird alignments

Like when Dancer gets esprit out the wazoo

[finite topaz]

MNK during Brotherhood, "WHY CANT I HOLD ALL THESE CHAKRAS?"

[slate arrow]

You can only mash saber dance so often

[ancient whale]

the red line fucked me up

[finite topaz]

Try to not overcap, but also be realistic about it

[ancient whale]

iin the cheat sheet lmao i thought the cooldown phase, i repalce where the midare is w the filler phase lmao

[slate arrow]

Or when BLM gets 3 thundercloud proc ticks in a row

[ancient whale]

okay i think i got it, i already learned my opener, i just need to practically change like 2 skills once i hit 80

also is there anymore cheat sheet like those?

I want one for my dragoon and PLD

[finite topaz]

Well there is kinda some...but not really really like that

[slate arrow]

Voice acting is sparse in the Base Game/ARR due to the extremely rushed development cycle. It gets better in the patches.

[ancient whale]

yeah i know that lmao i been usin shaders and not usaully menitoning other than my static

[low lynx]

what necklace/rings/bracelet should I get for a level 50 machinist?

[finite topaz]

Augmented Ironworks

costs poetics

[slate arrow]

The ones with Dexterity as the main stat

So the Ironworks x of Aiming

Or just x of Aiming

[low lynx]

i spent them all on the gun and boots and such, i have none left haha

okie

[finite topaz]

Hmmhh...well yeah, as Industrial said, just get the one that has main stat as Dexterity

[low lynx]

maybe this would be the best fit

[slate arrow]

It'll work.

Do note it'll become rapidly out of date as the Heavensward stat curve is pretty harsh, but since MCH is a DPS you don't have to worry about it too hard

[low lynx]

oof just dropped 60k gil on it lol

oh well, I'll farm poetics tomorrow

the event ends next week, right?

[slate arrow]

Moogle tomestones are not Poetics.

[finite topaz]

Poetics are forever, btw, if you refer to the moogle event, i think it is ending after the launch of 5.5

but it is unrelated to poetics

[ancient whale]

azura

last question

[low lynx]

oh yeah sorry I meant the tomestones

[ancient whale]

for the CD Phase inthe samurai, after the 1st Midare, does it matter which Sen goes 1st?

[finite topaz]

yes

[slate arrow]

There's nothing really permanently missable besides the 100 tomestone item

[ancient whale]

ko ty

[finite topaz]

Not gonna ask why? imma tell you anyway

[ancient whale]

ok

[finite topaz]

basically if you put the wrong Sen, you run the risk of dropping one of the buffs

[ancient whale]

ohhh

shiiii i forgot about the BUFF

[finite topaz]

the speed buff, you DO NOT want to drop that one

[slate arrow]

You wanna get the sen with the combo you have more time on

[ancient whale]

thhat's why the filler gets harder the more SKS there is

[slate arrow]

So if you're doing speed > damage > single

[ancient whale]

that make so much sense now

[slate arrow]

You wanna do the damage sen so you can refresh speed

rinse and repeat

[ancient whale]

ok ok

makes sense ty

the combo is simple but fuckin hell it gets so micro managing after that ;;-; i dont even wanna look at SMN

[finite topaz]

Ay bro, give it your best, after a couple reps

it basically becomes muscle memory

[ancient whale]

wait azura

what about shoha and and senie?

[finite topaz]

Shoha? it is done whenever its ready

[ancient whale]

where do they fit in that category seems like they part of the rotation

[finite topaz]

What is senie tho?

[ancient whale]

when do i use it?

since its not in the CD rotation

[slate arrow]

What is senie

[ancient whale]

Senei

my bad

level 72 unlock the 1200 potency

[finite topaz]

Ah, Senei

[ancient whale]

or 1100

[slate arrow]

Oh use that on cooldown basically

[finite topaz]

You use it whenever it's ready

do not let it sit

[slate arrow]

You have the ability which grants you 50 kenki

[finite topaz]

[finite topaz]

basically,

Ikishoten>GCD>Senei

...

Ikishoten>GCD>Hissatsu: Shinten(the 25 gauge spender)>GCD>HIssatsu: Shinten again

but that's very barebones

In the opener you can see when to use each, but after it, you just keep using them whenever they're ready

[ancient whale]

so in iskishoten i should pop shinten back to back then second go round when i pop i use shinten

no i men senei

[slate arrow]

basically, yeah

[finite topaz]

not really back to back

but whenever you can without clipping/overcapping

[slate arrow]

You want to keep 20 kenki minimum for the boost weaponskills damage ability

I keep my gauge between 20 and 70 when I can

[finite topaz]

The reason why Kenki gauge is not accounted for(oGCDs) in the 60s cycle, is because that can flow and change depending on:
A)Did you hit your positionals?(Get more Kenki from hitting positionals)
B)Did you die?
C)Did you use Third Eye?(Third Eye gives you Hissatsu Seigan which costs 15 potency)

It flows and changes a lot depending on what you do and what the encounter is about

[ancient whale]

ooohhh okay that is true that is true

cuz im practicing on a dummy

[shut panther]

the goal is to line up everything in a pretty 2 minute window package, so that your burst phases are a) spent immediately b) line up with cooldowns

[ancient whale]

ok ok

[shut panther]

Which generally leaves you with a couple "extra" GCDs per cycle

Which also leads to additional kenki

[swift pasture]

hello, i got a question. does submitting gears to the expert delivery help the free company as well?

[finite topaz]

Ah @ancient whale one more thing, before i go to sleep, every cycle, as you can see has 5 meditation stacks gainers(need 3 stacks to cast Shoha), so Shoha will separate itself from your 60 s cycle, wether you want it or not, at one point, and this is necessary, you will have to do Midare>Shoha>Tsubame as a weave(It's a very short weave window)

[finite topaz]

yeah

the Free Company gains "points" and EXP from it

[ancient whale]

ok ty

[swift pasture]

thaank you!

[agile laurel]

iirc this will likely just clip, but on the whole that's fine

[finite topaz]

No clipping

Midare base is 1.3 second cast time, 2.5s recast, base 1.2 seconds free to weave

[agile laurel]

mkay

[finite topaz]

On a not-base, that's like 0.8 seconds free

[agile laurel]

however even if it does, still do it, because wasting stacks is a sin

[ancient whale]

okay azura

[shut panther]

If you've more than a bit of latency, clipping is likely but as stated worthwhile

[ancient whale]

i think im goood

did my full rotation in success!

[shut panther]

Because it's what.. .7cast?

Animation lock rather

[finite topaz]

Doing it once is the beginning, get to lvl 80, then you can really keep practicing it

[glossy flare]

no

oh wait, do you mean the restrictions to be lifted soon?

[jade quartz]

Savage is also weekly locked

[slate carbon]

yea

[jade quartz]

But doing normal doesn’t affect your savage weekly allowance

[glossy flare]

yeah, savage will still be locked next week

[jade quartz]

Oh

Yeah savage restriction is not being lifted this patch

[finite topaz]

Savage remains locked until it stops being current content, AFAIK

[thin island]

will diamond ex be locked?

[finite topaz]

EX are never locked

[jade quartz]

Extremes have no weekly restriction

[thin island]

or everyone will be farming weapons everyday

ahhhh

thanks

[jade quartz]

Can get as many weapons as you want

[ancient whale]

azura im assuming same thing can be apploed w tsubame gaeshi just use it when ever i use midare

[finite topaz]

Yes

!action tsubame-gaeshi

[ancient whale]

ok ty

[zinc orbit]

**Tsubame-gaeshi** : lvl 76 SAM (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.

Powered by XIVAPI

[finite topaz]

60 seconds CD

If you do your rotation flawlessly

It will be ready right as Midare is done, so you press it

[slate arrow]

Do note it's catagorized as an Ability, so you cannot buff it with the buff skill

[signal aspen]

so if the stars don't line up, and you get the distorted messed up ending (enochian drops) what do you do to help maintain dps?

outside of rope

[obsidian patio]

I just go back into Ice and put enochian back up

[cunning silo]

What server most active during from 8 am to 8 pm eastern time? I want to make more friends but having hard time finding the right server. Is there some site or something that could help?

[signal aspen]

8-am 8pm? that might be something like EU/Odin

if EST

to be honest, the game is active even right now

on Primal atleast

[wind skiff]

patch size is about 2 gbs right?

[cunning silo]

I see. So can I tranfore my character I’ve been playing to a new server right now if I’ve only been playing it for little over a month?

[signal aspen]

you can transfer, but sometimes they do free transfers whenever servers need population

otherwise you're paying through the mog station

[sage fiber]

Is there a point to breeding up to Pedigree 9 Chocobos if my current Pedigree 3 Chocobos is Rank 50 and winning like 90% of the time?

[obsidian patio]

higher pedigrees have higher total stats

and if you want to do the racing challenges you'll need pedigree 9 to beat them all for the large MGP rewards

[sage fiber]

Oh, that makes sense

I guess it's time to retire Caramel Arrow

[obsidian patio]

we won't know for sure until we can download the patch during maintenance

[leaden ginkgo]

How I can solo nidhogg? He keeps wiping

[obsidian patio]

be level 80 with self-healing/mitigation

[jade quartz]

With higher pedigree you will reach a higher rating and be put into a different racing bracket with higher rewards.

[leaden ginkgo]

I need to do the normal run.. lvl 72 pld

[jade quartz]

You’re currently in the little leagues.

[sage fiber]

Ohhh, got it

[jolly sorrel]

At max rating, you'll earn like.. 1k MGP per race, if I recall correctly. Been a while, but its pretty big.

[sage fiber]

And higher ratings means more MGP?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[sage fiber]

I'm getting 700 MGP per race right now

[obsidian patio]

same thing, you need a lot of HP/mitigation to survive the damage split that happens in the last phase

[cunning silo]

I’m a returning player from 5 years ago. And just don’t know how things work. So I started a new character and story skipped and lvled to 80. So not sure if I’m a new player or retiring player. But looking for a way to do things . I checked the tranfore area of mog and it said character not old enough. Is there anyway around that?

[obsidian patio]

If you started on a preferred world you must wait 90 days to transfer to another world

no way around it

[cunning silo]

Oh thanks

[jolly sorrel]

From reddit:

R300 Sagolii Road: 1009MGP / win (shortest track).

R300 Costa Del Sol: 1059MGP / win.

R300 Tranquil Paths: 1109MGP / win (Longest track).

Net income can get as high as 24k / hour.```

[sage fiber]

Should I breed my old G2-M and my G3-F or just buy a G3-M from shop?

[jolly sorrel]

Personally I bought shop chocobos until grade 4 or 5 or so.

[obsidian patio]

it needs to be the same pedigree or higher to go up in pedigree

[sage fiber]

Oh, I see, gotcha

[jolly sorrel]

But at some point you want to breed both mates yourself

[signal aspen]

@cunning silo I know a lot of it might feel out of touch, but since you unlocked 80 content why not level up an class to help freshen you up on the game a bit more

so you can relearn mechanics

maybe do it from a different class perspective

something you'd never do, maybe a tank or a healer

or, maybe visit crafting/gathering there's new ways to level those up now as well

[jolly sorrel]

Do note though, even though chocobo racing is a great MGP making machine, it's never going to earn you as much as you'll have to spend on it. In other words, only do it if you enjoy racing/breeding/etc. @sage fiber

[sage fiber]

Oh yeah, I enjoy it a lot, definitely

[jade quartz]

Eventually you can breed a perfect chocobo and keep it forever.

Then eventually it’ll pay for itself

[oblique yew]

pls

can someone explain this

The weekly restriction on rewards in Eden's Promise has been removed.

[jolly sorrel]

And if you're a sucker for this kinda thing, you can keep breeding after you got a perfect chocobo until you have a perfect male -and- female. That way, all their offspring will be guaranteed 5* all stats.

[jade quartz]

Not Eden’s promise (savage)

[open coral]

Means you can get rewards as many times as you enter Eden.

[slate arrow]

Normal loot is no longer locked to one piece a floor a week

[jade quartz]

Only normal mode

[obsidian patio]

the only item still locked in eden normal will be the weapon token

[open coral]

And as many times as you can win the rolls.

Yes, only in normal mode.

[oblique yew]

wait so savage is still weekly locked?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[oblique yew]

welp

[open coral]

Yes, for another... half patch?

[oblique yew]

that was worthless then

[open coral]

Until 5.55?

[cunning silo]

It’s just hard trying to find people with similar times of play during the day. I’ve joined some fcs in order do try harder stuff but could make there times or they just weren’t active. Since I can’t move a character. Is there a good English speaking mostly server that active daytime eastern ? You said maybe eu Odin? Primal?

[jade quartz]

5.57 or something.

[obsidian patio]

There's still people gearing up using normal mode. :)

[open coral]

Easier to get glamour.

Or harder.

Depending on your rng.

[oblique yew]

normal mode gets you to i510 right?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[signal aspen]

@cunning silo Primal server would be a safe bet

[cunning silo]

Thanks for the help 🙂

[signal aspen]

depends on which community you would prefer, Europeans or North Amercians

thing to consider is, most people work

so Primal might have a bit of a down time, but

it's kinda always active, not sure about FCs.

PvP starts as early as 12

[open coral]

All servers have peak and lull times.

[jade quartz]

Would not recommend joining an EU server from NA due to ping concerns.

[open coral]

I mean, it's not terrible

[jade quartz]

NA daytime, NA servers will be moderately active

[signal aspen]

yeah, ping on EU is rough

[jade quartz]

No need to go to eu

[signal aspen]

I remember during in BA I almost wiped at Ozma because of it

[open coral]

You might not want to dive straight into Savage content if you're NA and joining an EU or JP server, but it's playable.

I'm in NA and play as healer on both JP and EU. The lag is noticeable, but not crippling once you're used to it.

[signal aspen]

depends on the class I think ranged dps have a bit of a harder time with ping

[open coral]

Not especially.

Again, it's all about getting used to it.

[signal aspen]

not talking about the adaptability talking about the technical and min maxing part of it

[open coral]

You might not want to do high-end content at level, but for normal gameplay purposes it's perfectly playable.

[jade quartz]

No matter how much you get used to it, ping that’s too high will still make performing optimally on some jobs impossible

[open coral]

That's a fair statement.

[signal aspen]

this game especially has some nasty default routing to servers at time too

during HW, it was always constant disconnections for me on a certain Data center

[oblique yew]

when you get used to 250ms

[signal aspen]

but I was fine on another one just like it

[oblique yew]

for a year

[cunning silo]

what na server do you think the best maybe is crystal shard?

[signal aspen]

Crystal from what I can tell is a major RP data center

can you do content in it? probably

[glossy flare]

"content" happens cross world anyway

[signal aspen]

^

[glossy flare]

so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cunning silo]

oh im loking for friendly people who do anything from dungs to savage. and willing to help but not carry a returning member

[signal aspen]

I think every server can provide that

[glossy flare]

Yeah

[obsidian patio]

try searching in here for free companies and linkshells

[glossy flare]

might be worth trying to find a nice FC to get comfy in

but that too can be done on any server

[signal aspen]

no point on transfering unless you'd really want to be in a different option of FCs

personally I have rolled with a small ( 5 person FC ) for about 3 years now outside of the normal large FCs I was in when the game first came about

there's also cross world linkshells

that can get you into a chat box just like FCs, but you can have it for specific niche things you enjoy

let's say, Bozja cluster farming, or even a Eurekan linkshell

or doing savage content sync'd

or even PvP like rival wings

[cunning silo]

nice ill try that out

[signal aspen]

just ask around in towns and shout chat

game is way more active than before you'd find it hard to not find people wanting to run things

even at "dead hours"

I mean, we're almost near to the end of an expansion and somehow we still get queues to login

Hey any good wireless kb+m to play ff14 on ps5 with no input delay? Thanks

[subtle kindle]

Will do, thanks!

[signal aspen]

also really budget friendly

[subtle kindle]

Yeah at first glance its exactly what i was looking for

[signal aspen]

try typing in PS5 on the amazon questions and answers

might have a response about it

[honest anvil]

prelim patch note for 5.5 says mount drop rates for both emerald and sos ex will be buffed. Does this mean the other 4’s rates are already buffed?

[subtle kindle]

Ok

[honest anvil]

and will their mount drop rates be buffed even more in future patches?

[faint flare]

Yes. They buff drop rates 2 patches after they're added typically

[warm snow]

Since the 2 patches from now is 6.0 emerald is getting buffed early

[obsidian patio]

if you want to get ready to do the 5.5 24-man raid start the YorHa 24-man series

There's also the final part of the Weapon trial series being added too

[honest tusk]

Thank you!

[lone violet]

Hey what should I have on my checklist before this latest patch drops ?

[glossy flare]

Depends on what you want to do really. Being at the current progress for the 24 man raid series and the current trial series certainly helps in jumping right into the new content

[obsidian patio]

MSQ/Yorha story/Weapons story for the main DF content

[lone violet]

I think the only thing I still need to get around is getting geared and starting the relic weapon quest

I remembered having to go back to finishing the stormblood raids in order to get one that

[glossy flare]

the next relic step won't come immediately with 5.5

Most likely it'll be 5.55 when it drops

So you still have some time to catch up, even though it's obviously time intensive

[lethal mist]

Started Red Mage and since it starts at lvl 50 with a bunch of abilities it is a bit more overwhelming than starting from scratch. What do I gear towards as a stat? Intelligence? Also are the 3 Main Attacks magical? I have 2000/2000 Poetics so might as well buy some new gear and not be capped

[agile laurel]

yes, and no

what is the faq again

!faq rdmlevel50

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named rdmlevel50 exists, Kupo!

[agile laurel]

heck

[wintry chasm]

Yes you want intelligence but casters can only wear a specific type of gear anyway so the question is irrelevant

Since you are locked into only intelligence gear

[glossy flare]

Yes the melee combo is magical dmg IF it is enchanted

[lethal mist]

I see, no secondary stat to care for?

[glossy flare]

Do not use it unenchanted

there

[lethal mist]

Ok thanks guys!

[wintry chasm]

Substats NEVER EVER matters for leveling

For any job

[lethal mist]

Well, how about at 80 when you're not leveling?

[honest anvil]

rdm's job quests does a good job teaching you the job tbh

[lethal mist]

They must count for something

[wintry chasm]

Well yeah a little

[honest anvil]

it explains dual cast and mana well enough iirc

[lethal mist]

I totally forgot the job quests lol. Been leveling WHT as well...

[wintry chasm]

Please don't forget them

[lethal mist]

That coupled with the "do your daily/weekly stuff" gets a bit phew...

[agile laurel]

they give your abilities

going into group content with missing abilities can frequently tantamount to griefing, depending what they are

[glossy flare]

at least rdm only gets 2 skills via job quests iirc 😄

but both are damn important

[agile laurel]

'only' still needed tho

[honest anvil]

also rdm's job quest caters to fans of a certain hbo series if that's your thing ...

[glossy flare]

since it's manafic and verholy... yeah

[lethal mist]

Ofc I will do all job quests. Again, was a bit off my mind.

How do you balance daily/weekly stuff and leveling other jobs? What are the daily routines so to speak? Weekly stuff reset fridays but which are important to do? Also daily I just do roulettes that I can...

[agile laurel]

Are full patch notes out for 5.5 yet?

[wintry chasm]

They won't be till maintenance

[glossy flare]

weekly stuff resets tuesdays btw

[agile laurel]

gotcha.

[lethal mist]

Oh btw 5.5 is when moogle shop closes for those Esoterics, right? Is that like 13th?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[wintry chasm]

Yep

[lethal mist]

Another thing to keep in mind haha damn

[wintry chasm]

You'd still be able to trade those tomestones in after, just not earn it

so dw about cashing in immediately

[lethal mist]

Oh so just the accumulation stops, but the shop keeps open? Great news!

I can simply focus on farming then

[leaden ginkgo]

I forgot. What do you get for completing ShB role quests?

[agile laurel]

iirc, not an awful lot, besides being able to buy your 430 gear

[warm snow]

More Interesting story

[slate arrow]

The secret 5th role quest, as well as extra dialogue options during 5.2 and 5.3 MSQ

[warm snow]

And ofc your artifact gear for each role

[slate arrow]

unless you just mean one role quest

[agile laurel]

yeah, the dialogue during the ||heroes' gauntlet|| duty modifies a bit too

for those who didn't know that, ||it simply shifts so they say/don't say stuff relating to their quests, like Granson calling to his wife that he's not fighting for vengeance anymore, and Giott referencing her exile||

etc

[wintry chasm]

ALSO that secret 5th role quest then expands into a questline that ties some earlier side content that feels...certainly substantial

[slate arrow]

chumky lore

[agile laurel]

there's also an extra-extra on top of THAT that requires the heavensward extreme trials complete

or at least unlocked, don't quote me on that

[wintry chasm]

Too late Emu just mentioned that

Also no

It just requires ||you do do Warring triad, not EX shit||

[agile laurel]

oh i thought you meant the bit with the|| shadowkeeper||

[wintry chasm]

we are

[leaden ginkgo]

Wow I never knew there was secret stuff

[agile laurel]

I mean the bit with ||Unukulhai (sp? fuck that dude's name)||

[wintry chasm]

Yes

We are

Doesn't require ||any EX shit, just Triad||

[agile laurel]

yeah that was my point of confusion

so there's role quests, one more quest after all role quests are complete, and one more after all that's complete and you've done the warring triad story

[jade quartz]

It requires ||Ravana and Bismarck extreme.||

[agile laurel]

i thought so

[wintry chasm]

Oh does it? I guess that makes sense to a point but not like the game has ever cared for stuff like that

[glossy flare]

Not that this matters tbh, can probably just solo those

maybe ||bismarck|| requires 2 people for the cannons I dunno

[hasty musk]

||Bismark is possible solo, you just gotta save burst for the two snakes that tether||

[agile laurel]

that one is a piece of shit cause the adds tether

[warm snow]

It's still possible to kill through the adds tether it's just annoying

[agile laurel]

i can't recall if it requires the quests complete or just unlocked

[warm snow]

Warring triad complete

Not including ex

[agile laurel]

and the two ex just unlocked then?

or what

[jade quartz]

Bismarck and Ravana ex need the duties complete for their quests.

[agile laurel]

oh well

[ancient whale]

Am i missing something here...

How come savage aim materia 7 has lower crit than 6?

[wintry chasm]

because grade 6 can't be overmelded past the first overmeld slot

7 can

[ancient whale]

wtf is an overmelded?

sorry to it

[wintry chasm]

hang on

Let's take my crafting top

With gear with materia you get 1 or 2 guaranteed slots for melding materia in

[ancient whale]

mhmm mhmm

[strong saddle]

Is buying gear with gil worth at-low level?

[wintry chasm]

and then if the gear can be overmelded you can try to ram more materia into additional slots to a max of 5

[ancient whale]

@strong saddle yees

[wintry chasm]

but overmelding is RNG chance of happening

[ancient whale]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[obsidian patio]

vendor gear is passable for pre-50

[wintry chasm]

So basically you you can't put in grade 6 materia past the 3rd slot aka the 1st overmeld

[ancient whale]

so i actuallty need an actual melder player to do that or can i just go to the regular

[wintry chasm]

but 7s can be put in the 4th and 5th slot

[obsidian patio]

if you want to do overmelds, yes you need other players

or level up any crafter to 80

[wintry chasm]

^ materia npcs can't overmeld

[ancient whale]

im assuming blacksmith can do that?

for DoH

or m

or w

idk

[obsidian patio]

all the crafters can meld any gear

that's not class-specific anymore

[wispy peak]

whats the laziest job?

[ancient whale]

BLM

[wintry chasm]

uhhh

[ancient whale]

imo

u press button n u stand

sometimes u have dodge cuz of mechanic

[wintry chasm]

In terms of ease of playing RDM is pretty easy

[obsidian patio]

probably White Mage for healers

Warrior for tanks

[ancient whale]

how do i ask other players to meld for me if the gear isn't tradable?

[wintry chasm]

you can just right-click and request melding on people

[heavy wadi]

honestly "laziness" is somewhat subjective, but wynne's are good examples

[obsidian patio]

better term would be complexity/business

[heavy wadi]

yeah, probably better

[obsidian patio]

or however you spell that second word

[jade quartz]

I play DRK because I’m lazy

And it’s a simple job

[heavy wadi]

like, personally I struggle to play whm well

[jade quartz]

Same with WHM for healing

[strong saddle]

I just pure heal ;-;

[obsidian patio]

[heavy wadi]

but ultimately sch is my favorite healer

[strong saddle]

I wanted to tey that once I hit 30

Seems fun

Ucgotta maintain galvanize right?

[heavy wadi]

That's one of many things to do, yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

what can i do wqith all my extra green blue and pink gear?

[obsidian patio]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

no

[jade quartz]

No

[obsidian patio]

you don't want to keep up your shields

[strong saddle]

How come?

[obsidian patio]

it's simply overkill on healing

[jade quartz]

Don’t be healing or shielding when you don’t need to

[obsidian patio]

when you reach Sergeant 2nd Class for your grand company you can turn that stuff in for GC Seals

[heavy wadi]

Ah I was confused by the q lol, yeah you don't need to keep it up 24/7

[jade quartz]

At early levels fairy will handle bulk of healing, only need to gcd heal for heavy damage

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i see my grand company rank?

[jade quartz]

And then later you get oGCDs

[obsidian patio]

i think the 3rd window of the character menu

[jade quartz]

And you use them instead of gcd heals if you can help it

[obsidian patio]

you can also see it by examining yourself

[wintry chasm]

It's "profile"

[leaden ginkgo]

so uh im guessing im not under one

[leaden ginkgo]

it says storm corporal

[wintry chasm]

You can click the uh, rank icon there and it shows you where that is in the hierarchy fyi

[leaden ginkgo]

number 4

to the bottom

[wintry chasm]

Ye

[leaden ginkgo]

so what does this mean then

[wintry chasm]

What does what mean?

[leaden ginkgo]

can i do the thing

[wintry chasm]

Get promoted?

oh

trade gear

no

That's a higher rank

[leaden ginkgo]

heck

what rank?

[wintry chasm]

Sergeant second class

[leaden ginkgo]

so close

Hello! controller question: currently if you click the L3 button it dismounts you even if you don't have any action assigned to L3, is there a way to disable that?

2nd question: special duty actions are used by holding R2 / L2 and R3, is there a way to change it from R3 to another button?

[jade quartz]

1. That’s probably because it’s mapped to unsheathe weapon, which causes you to dismount

Can map it to some other function.

[primal ermine]

Got to have that shiny cast bar

[leaden ginkgo]

interject on oarnge?

got it

[jade quartz]

Stun makes an enemy unable to act for x amount of seconds which includes stopping their cast bar. But most bosses are stun immune

But some bosses and other mobs have casts that need to be interrupted.

[leaden ginkgo]

got it

ive noticed the stun immune thing too

[vital ruin]

If I don't have mount speed unlocked in a region do I still get the speed boost from sdf fenrir

[jade quartz]

Yes

[forest lark]

If I buy 1 year sub, do I pay total amount immediately or per month?

[agile laurel]

u h. have they said anything about resistance rank requirements for the next bozja content?

[jade quartz]

You won’t need a higher resistance rank

[heavy wadi]

it's rank 10, iirc, and it'll go up to rank 25

[agile laurel]

thank christ

ok

[jade quartz]

Can only buy up to 6 months in bulk. You pay in advance.

[vital ruin]

Time to get fenrir

[forest lark]

There is 12 months option?

[wintry chasm]

No

[jade quartz]

No

There isn’t

[forest lark]

Hmmm

I dont know I need to check my eyes at doctors

I cant see it rn cause I already subbed

But Im pretty sure it said 12 months

Theres like 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

🤔

[jade quartz]

There is no 12 month option

[slate arrow]

You literally cannot sub for longer than 180 days

[jade quartz]

It’s 30, 90 or 180 days

[forest lark]

Ooooh my bad

Yeah it was sgow8ng iptions in days

Not months, but yeah I meant 180 ones lol dum dum

Can i like twice 180 daya

Buy*

Or I have to wait for first 180 to pass

[wintry chasm]

This

Only way to really have a year sub is by buying a fuck ton of gametime cards and manually putting those on to top up to that amount

[forest lark]

Aww, that sucks, there should be 12 months option tho

[wintry chasm]

and even then I'm not actually sure if Mogstation has a hard cap on how much sub you can have at once

[forest lark]

Hmm I always use reccuring one so i wouldn't know about this

I kind of want the squall outfit

[jade quartz]

I believe it does

[wintry chasm]

I think it does too but idk

[slate arrow]

It's stated in the time cards that you can't have more than 180 days redeemed at a time, iirc

[gritty oracle]

If I'm OT PLD (assuming a fight that doesn't require tankswapping), should I spam Intervention on the MT to protect them from TBs?

[faint flare]

Yes, use Intervention to help them with busters

[gritty oracle]

Should I buff it with Rampart/Sentinel, or keep it to myself/in case MT dies?

[faint flare]

If you dont need it later then sure

[jade quartz]

Depends if you’ll need it for a swap coming up

If it’ll be off cooldown before you need it again then yeah use it

[stone stone]

Is there a way to tell if an apartment complex has a vacant spot without going in? Does the red check mean no spots? Also does each ward have its own set of apartments?

[raven burrow]

does the weekly lockout lift mean we can farm e9-12s over n over starting tuesday ?

[faint flare]

Only normal node

Savage gets lifted much later

[jade quartz]

Each ward and subdivision has its own apartment set yes

[raven burrow]

aw okay , thanks

[stone stone]

Does that red check mean there are no open spots in the apartment?

[sick jetty]

Is there gonna be new tomestones to grind for in 5.5 or nah

[jade quartz]

Can you show the red check?

Hmm yes according to Google that is in fact the symbol for a full building.

[stone stone]

Ok yea I just verified that cause I found one without it and was able to buy an apartment

[jade quartz]

There are apartments available in all districts in all servers though so you’ll find one

[sick jetty]

Wondering if it'll be worth grinding for Revelation tomes currently or if it'll just get replaced with new stuff. This is the first major patch I've actually been lvl 80 for so I'm not sure

[faint flare]

Tomes aren't changing

[jade quartz]

No

[open ember]

Did they add the option to skip floors for savage yet or is that just normal

[faint flare]

Tomes only change in even patched

Not odd patch

[faint flare]

Just normal

[sick jetty]

Ohhh, alright. Thank you

[jade quartz]

No, weekly restrictions won’t be removed from savage until very late in 5.5, like 5.58 or something

[open ember]

Okay thank you very much

[warm snow]

5.5 is pretty much the last major content patch in ShB.

If you include the announced content coming in 5.55

[hollow violet]

can you do dungeons for tails stamps unsynced?

[faint flare]

Yes

[hollow violet]

thanks

[faint flare]

Its common to unsync stuff for khloe

[burnt crown]

If I change from lv50 White Mage to Ast, I will become lv30 ast right? But then will I be able to continue doing lv 50 story quest with new class lv30?

[strange coral]

You'll have to catch back up to level 50 first

[open coral]

You won't be able to do quests above your class level.

[warm snow]

Msq have level requirements

[open coral]

So while the game will let you perform objectives, and even pick up the quests as AST, you won't be able to complete the quests.

[warm snow]

So no

[open coral]

You also won't be able to do any solo instances that are part of those quests.

[warm snow]

You can also end up walking into overworld encounters way above your level

[burnt crown]

oki tyys

[primal ermine]

how is the experience you gain from fates calculated? I noticed it goes up and down. is it random?

[wispy flare]

do you guys have a decent picture on MCH's ST rotation?

[faint flare]

Based on your rank in the fate. Gold rank give the max

Rank is based on participation

[lethal mist]

Hey I'm checking Mounts so I know which to get for Esoterics. Some say they're from shops. I assume beast tribe shops but are they available as soon as you unlock shops there?

[faint flare]

Beast tribe mounts need you to rank up

[slate arrow]

no, beast tribe ones are behind rep grinds

[faint flare]

To buy them

[cold frost]

Hi to all im pretty new to the game, played perfectly for like 4 days and a new patch came out, whenever i try to update i get an error that something is wrong with the exes and nothing happens, i redownloaded the game yesterday but sadly it got stuck at the same part, im at a loss here.

[lethal mist]

Ok then it's worth buying them here then. I only need a few more and I got all mounts from shop so not that bad.

How do you get these Maps then? Are they hard/easy?

[faint flare]

Hunt currency

Easy and irrelevant

[novel acorn]

Im getting this weird error notification on login and I do not know why. Any help please?

[lethal mist]

I know irrelevant, but if its easy and not "wait weeks to finish this cause time locked" I'll skip them from shop.

[primal ermine]

Unlock flight in the zones, flying is the fighest speed, the mount speed map will effect walking speed tho

[slate arrow]

restart your PC

[cold frost]

im getting this error only for the latest patch iv'e tried everything including reinstalling, any ideas?

[novel acorn]

I have. The error persists everytime I login. I dont know what it mean or why its in another language for that matter.

[warm snow]

Have you tried contacting the support center?

[slate arrow]

https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

try this community made launcher

if you still have issues, contact support

[cold frost]

that launcher gave me errors too

and the creator tried to help but no success

[slate arrow]

then FFXIV is just having a bad day

sometimes it happens

[cold frost]

its been like that for 3 days now

wish i could manually update or something

[slate arrow]

have you tried a VPN or updating Internet Explorer

[open coral]

Try updating IE first.

[cold frost]

tried a vpn

[open coral]

If that doesn't help, then a VPN might be the only fix.

[cold frost]

same error

[novel acorn]

I can still play the game, im just wondering why this pops up everytime I input my password.

[open coral]

Check to make sure Internet Explorer is up to date.

[cold frost]

it didnt need an update for installing or patching until the latest patch which is weird

[open coral]

The launcher gets weird about it sometimes. Just check.

[cold frost]

k will do

[lost sinew]

how would i find out what quest i'm missing to unlock new game+ for the 3rd alliance raid set? is it possible to unlock at this point? i've done all 3 of the fft/ff12 alliance raids.

[strange coral]

There are side quests on the airship that have to be completed too

[lost sinew]

aha. ty.

and what about the 2nd set of trials in new game+? i'm not even sure what that is.

(i'm sorta treating new game+ as a list of things i haven't done and need to do)

[open coral]

Uhh, that should be the warring triad? maybe?

[lost sinew]

warring triad is the first of two

the second is ???

[open coral]

Oh uhh, hang on, let me think for a minute.

Oh

[strange coral]

Four Lords?

[open coral]

Four Lords, yeah.

[strange coral]

From SB

[lost sinew]

ah, ok... i will find out where i am in that questline

[warm snow]

[faint flare]

Combat jobs
