Yes
Does the Wondrous Tails 1st line reward of 50 tomestone of revelation count toward the 450 maximum ?
Doing all the roles gets you an additional lore quest chain
(Please tell me it doesn't)
Yes. Everything does
If does
I wanna end myself then
There's no reason it wouldnt
Were you capped? Lol
Nah but i was about to try and reroll the lines into getting it
So my game all of a sudden started crashing due to direct X 11. I didn't change any settings and it was working fine since I first started playing over a month ago... does anyone know what this is? I see a lot of posts about it on forums and reddit, but no on eseems to know anything.
You'll be capped again by Tuesday
I had the same problem, moving the FF14 file to the place where my Windows folder is somehow fixed it
I no longer have crashes and crash-to-desktop since one or two weeks
oh really? which file? the shortcut to the launcher?
The whole folder
I seem to be having some success by switching the settings from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen and capping hte FPS at 60. Honestly though, I keep so many different solutions on the forums/reddit. Seems like everyone is shooting in the dark, haha.
It is pretty odd though for the gam eto be completely fine for over a month and then all of a sudden have issues for no apparent reason.. sigh
guessing a lot of the new side quests im getting is for trials (primal ones) and harder version of dungeons
guess its time to binge some blue quests
and the 8 man raids which you should only do if you have a lvl 80 to carry you and you want the lore
im on the trial
still possible to get carried on trial
If you level skip to 70 do you also get your level 70 job quest completed?
Yes the job skip does all job quests for you
do all mounts move the same speed or are there faster ones
Same speed
The only kinda-exception is the SDS Fenrir bike from the mogstation, which has the same speed as if you already have 1-star mount speed for that zone
Which makes it faster than other mounts when progressing through the story before you have flight in that zone
okay awesome thank you!
I heard that we might get to buy Mog Station goods with gil in the future, is that teased by the devs or just wishful thinking?
They didn't say anything like that
Sounds like wishful thinking
They said the queen of the Mogstation has given One item up to be buyable in game, which some are presuming to be the Rainmaker hair
Since thats typically a event only thing
It’s confirmed to be rainmaker
It was planned to go in the mogstation, but they’re putting it in the gold saucer instead.
That’s all.
What if I level up my first class to Lv70, and then change to Lv1-50 classes? Will beginner exp buff from server still applies on those second classes?
ye
Yes
It carries over yes
ouh, noice. TYTYs
The buff just hides when you're 70+
ahh ic there
is there a better/easy way for need/greed/pass?
good question, I keep forgetting to ask
is bad enough the entire group is running to the next fight while I'm staring at the loot chest, if I could need/greed faster, that would help 🙂
so when collecting memories, i have to be that class during the fate ?
No
good bc fates take so long as a tank
None of the Shadowbringers relic stuff needs you to be on the job to collect the items

thanks
would people still buy exarchic pentamelds next week?
have some stock left, should sell them off nw eh
Only rings I think
augmented exarchic will come next week so some might be inclined to buy vanilla pieces to trade ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I would say no to people buying Exarchic gear with melds yet again they can just buy it, extract the materia and then trade it for augmentation
It'd still work
Though you might lose melds
You lose them like when you augment any other piece of gear
Since it's a new item you'd have to take them out first and it's hardly worth the rng
or effort
Basically you can still sell them but don't expect people to buy them because they're melded
Where do you see in FFlogs where the orange rank starts or ends
in terms of dps for a specific job
Does anyone know where I can find the level 40 Monk Job quest?
click on it on the top left and it should show you
Orange is 95 to and including 98
Erik is in the goldsmith guild in Ul'Dah, I'm pretty sure. But you have the quest just below your MSQ header you can click on
i meant overall ranking
You can flip in one of the drop down menus to change it to per second amounts, if that's what you mean
datacenterip
when is the make it rain campaign?
help, i bought full laws order set for my Dark Knight but none of the builds have any links with laws order gear, every build is using exarchic set, my question is what should i put in all the materia slots
just follow meld priority
aaaaa I was putting something for sale on the market and I hit the wrong button
now the item was sold to the game for 217 gil
instead of 90k market price
can I buyback the item?
If it was sold to another player then no
the music in amh araeng is soo good
no, it was sold by the retainer to the game
i wonder how long its going to take to get there lol
"Have retainer sell items" option
You can adjust price
again, it was not put on the market, but sold in the same way you would to an npc
but my by retainer, so theres no buyback window
Do you have to complete first the Cinder Drift (Extreme) in order to unlock the Castrum Marinum (Extreme) ? I can't unlock it despite having done everything i can find online
I didnt do ruby but got in em just fine
and the whole quest line
one quick question for dungeons, if i'm a low-level healer, what to do when some long-ranged mobs keep targeting me while tank needs continuously hard healing too? I did cast presence of mind and swift but I couldn't keep up the pace to cast cure II back and forth on me and tank, and party heal seems not that efficient to cover tank's hp.
That i did
I cannot accept any other quest from said questline, as there's no more available
tell the tank to pull that mob too
did you complete "in memory"
is there any reason why me and my friend only lag in e12s? we see ppl teleporting around and freezing
it’s his job to make all mobs target him
Yup
and the warmachina fanatic didnt give you the ex?
Nope, i'm right in front of him and he got nothing to give
open your completed quests and check the sorrrow of werlyt quest line
perhaps you already have it?
screenshot what the warmachina fanatic dialogue is
Em ex is in the high-end duty tab iirc
that too
not in the reg tab like ruby
click the high end duty
high end duties
tab
I'm sorry i don't get what this is
are there any low-level weapons that are dyeable? im level 30
Sorry i didn't knew it was a thing
Well then yeah, it's there and i already got it
Sorry for the time wasted, and thanks for letting me know about that tab o/
I'm trying to do the 68 fsh quest, why doesn't veteran trade work?
What are the other 2 city states good for? It seems to me like Ul'Dah is always the best choice since Ul'Dah is the one with the most story focus
Limsa for rp ... I mean for market board
It all depends on what class you get first iirc, i had a lot of story things in Gridania
yeah actually limsa is very popular
If you started in Ul'dah then your first 15 levels of quests will all be centered there.
After that you'll be going around to all of the different cities at various points.
which is a cool color
and also the aetheryte is is the most convenient place out of the three cities
What does Gridania have?
like lore wise or what
not really any benefits gameplay wise, other then unique crafters and stuff
Lancers, Archers, and Conjurers guilds. Leatherworker, Carpenters, and Herbalists guilds.
I suppose early access to WHM classes
Yes, technically.
you have to go there at some point to unlock whm
gridania is just in a prettier location than the other 2
I wanna say WHM is the easiest healer job to learn?
yes
Yes, WHM is considered the easiest healer.
but like
you can be a crappy healer as any of the healers
the skill cap for being a good healer is higher then most dps
is there some kind of a giant lag wave
Good and easy are two different things entirely.
lots of people are having trouble
What does the "Hardest Job Class To Play" award go to?
what I'm saying is please don't pick it up if you're just going to never try to learn to play it well
its subjective
cause a lazy healer is annoying
I find BRD to be more difficult than BLM
I want to try it out, see if I like it, if I dont, I'll go to DPS or something.
hey, I was directed here from #general-discussion . Anyone know what to do about the comcast latency issue? all my friends with comcast over the last 3 days have had atrocious lag. Anyone fixed/ know anything? ping me if you can.
we cant do anything if its an isp issue
BRD is more luck base than skill base imo...
wait for them to fix it
@slender pebble That sounds like an isp issue, not something that we (players) can actively do anything about.
I wasnt asking for help per say but information if you had it...

the highest buttons per minute job is ninja, the job that suffers the most from messing up is summoner, and the job that is hardest to optimize mechanics for is black mage
so those could all be the hardest
i feel like brd has higher apm than nin
it's also hard to optimize damage vs heals in endgame on a healer
If everyone with Comcast is having the same problem, that means it's probably an issue with one of the nodes. You'd be more likely to get good information from Comcast or a network traffic tracking site.
but that's like real optimization
I've heard that WHM is really boring early levels, is that true?
not really
But again, it's not something that there would be a workaround for.
damage is extremely predictable
I wouldn't say boring, but limited yeah
Pretty much all jobs are boring at early levels.
you learn when to use a specific heal at which point in the fight
You don't have much tools to play piano with
your teammates aren't always predictable though...
Just like Medic in TF2, in some ways
i mean as long as they arent eating shit that doesnt really make it harder
its all scripted
That doesn't matter. A halfway decent healer can always optimize dps vs healing.
alright I started as whm cause I liked medic
Because yeah, scripted damage.
you are not going to get the same fantasy from it unfortunately
And honestly even if your whole team is eating shit, there are still ways to work around that if you're appropriately geared for the content.
because I strated as a medic in tf2 it took me a real long time to adjust to my teammates not being disposable
I imagine single handedly preventing wipes with Healer LB3 is pretty damn satisfying tho.
might be unique to me but just so you know
Can be. I've done it a few times.
the animation is satisfying but if your team already sucks then you might just wipe anyway
Do peleton and sprint stack, btw>
no
I've saved runs with healer LB3
movement skills take whichever one is higher
I still don't have that reflex, since i rarely play DPS i do not have that impulse of using Limit Break, but i should realy think about it
LB Trigger Discipline
You can control how much of the LB bar you use, right?
No
no
You use however much there is.
It's always all the bars
So if there's three bars, you use three bars.
Why do I hear 2 LBs going off sometimes>
No matter how filled they are
The thing about healer lb3 is that there is rarely a trial that is hard enough for you to use it, most of the time you're going to be using it when the dps are dumb
Because they can cancel cast
If there's 2 and 3/4, you'll use it all
because either there are multiple parties, or someone LBed then canceled then LBed again
The sound effect goes off before the actual LB does
Why would you want to LB Cancel?
Dodge an AoE
if youre not in a good position
If you misclicked, or if you need to dodge
All kinds of reasons
or or
Outside of Alexander and SoS where its absolutely required, what situations should you use Tank LB in?
like none
Doesn't E8S have a tank lb mechanic too?
you should cancel lb to repeatedly spam the sound and get kicked from prae
no idea
I want to say there are actually people who AFK at Prae and just have everyone else do the work for them, but I dont remember
some people do because they think theyll get a free ride
then do the surprised pikachu face when they get kicked
There's no realy other content where a mass damage reduction would be required, either the healer LB3 would have more usefulness in the same scenario, or you'll heavily lose on burst damage
so does anyone have any spearfishing tips?
Should Tank LB be reworked to be more useful, do you think?
naw
dps > damage reduction
not really a question for qnh tbh
spearfishing is pretty self explanatory. use the right gighead, pray rng favours you
I wonder if I should try my hand at getting the PvP mounts or wait for the new PVP Mode in EW?
You take a look at your objective and you do the maths
iirc for the swimming shadows node its around 10
try it now
some pvp modes and maps have exclusive mounts
so waiting won't help
and rival wings queues will die after 5.5
rival wings has a mount for 100 games and 100 wins
also
the daily challenge for pvp gives great exp
Is it a Cruise Chaser Mount?
no
When is the Fanfest?
may 14/15
Oh ok, thank you, I still have no idea whether or not the Lunar Whale is locked behind a special ticket you buy at the fan fest, or something else...
no
attending the fanfest is free
its going to be straight to mogstation
yes
What sorts of people would get the most use out of the Lunar Whale?
people who like big mount
People doing maps
that too
Would it also be useful for future pieces of instanced content in the style of Bozja and Eureka? Cause I highly doubt that Bozja is the last piece of Instanced content we'll get.
it could be useful for the next zones of bozja
Yeah that too
when they increase the mount speed or whatever
Is there a reason why they dont want you flying in Bozja?
people might be able to just fly to areas theyre not supposed to be in i guess
Want it to have a sense of danger?
too small to really warrant flying tbh
alright I got the special node to appear from spearfishing, is there anything I can do to increase my chance of getting a HQ catch?
may want to share a screenshot
lol don't have it
then pray to rng
can also use perception food to help boost it
but ultimately its down to rng
What is a "Barrier Healer"? A healer focused on buffs and reducing damage?
damn!
got the last hq I needed on the last gathering attempt
a barrier healer uses shields
sch does have ones ablity that mitigates
but really it's mostly shields
Basically yes. They're healers whose primary focus is preventing damage in the first place rather than healing after the fact.
Or alternative healing sources. So conditional heals or heals that don't initally directly heal
SCH and the new Sage healer are both barrier healers.
Like Scholar and using Aethflow
I'm pretty sure that's just sch jank
I don't think that's what makes it a barrier healer
no theyre classifying it as a barrier healer in 6.0
Were some people complaining that the difference between Barrier and regular healers wasnt clear enough, based on the END presentation?
remember, Yoshi-P said that noctural sect was a barrier healer
and noct ast doesn't have anything like aetherflow
just shields
theyre getting rid of noct ast iirc
!action Essential Dignity
they are
my point is that barrier healer is not as complicated as "A healer focused on buffs and reducing damage"
it just means shields
noct ast has no mitigation iirc

wym
!action Aspected Benefic
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 250% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with scholar's Galvanize.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
shields are mitagation
it has shields
"magicked barrier"
shields are mitagation
unless you have another term for those?
tank mitigation abilities include shields
fflogs classifies shields as healing if they're broke
They're all mitagation
Shields are both technically
Tanks have their own shields as well so
That's still mitigation
but my point is that the yellow stuff that sch and noct ast use is what a barrier healer is
personally I see TBN just as much as a heal as thrill of battle, but that's not my point
my point is the only unique thing about noct as is it's yellow shields
so that must be what a barrier healer is
Do you have to have godlike reflexes for healer or just pay good attention. I suppose healing in dungeons is easier because you have AOE heals
!action celestial intersection
Restores own or target party member's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 200% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 150
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
just pay attention
If they’re dieing, stop it
damage is predictable
The only time you really need reflexes is if someone takes damage they weren't supposed to and even that's just based on the situation
I imagine its a little clunky to click on the lowest HP person in the party list, is there a macro for that?
oh ok
its just a matter of getting comfortable with it
Collective unconscious (I won’t spam) is fully mitigation type as well as barrier.
You can use the function keys like F1 to help out too
What does F1 do?
That's how I select tanks to heal
personally I move my party list closer to the middle of the screen as healer for clicking
F1-8 targets party members 1-8
Thats nice
Instar, it's what I was calling a shield
Number lock + 0 is also a thing
there is no stat like sacred soil that says "party member will take 10% less damage"
Well I think then it’s down to an issue of how we each define mitigation so....
that's mitigation
But pretty much only if they’re the closest person to you
you're missing my point
No, I’m not. I just don’t agree.
the damage reduction is not a feature of all our current barrier healers
yes it is
ast does not have a 10% less ablity
both scholar and ast do have reduction abilities
it only has the yellow shields
Yeah peace out and goodwill
Collective Unconcious
Does Living Shadow have reduced CD sometimes? Sometimes I look away for one moment, and all the sudden, the CD for LS goes to something like 26 seconds
okay yeah that's true Kael
CU has both a regen and dmg reduction on it, which one lingers after you stop CU depends on whether you're in nocturnal or diurnal sect
it takes like 4 seconds to summon the thing iirc
forgot about that one
I don't know AST well enough to be sure but
people were just using vocab differently
so I had to be firm to get my point across
Mitigation is literally any thing that is going to reduce/stop dmg being taken, literally every tank and healer has some form of it.
Why did they get rid of DRK's more intense aura that they had at one point? Too distracting?
I did mention CU. Which you didn’t see perhaps. And if you’re nit familiar with the role... I guess don’t tell people they’re missing the point.
With barrier healers, the key point to a lot of their "gimmick" is having shields
I'm familar with sch and whm
pure healers (which iirc is the name they dubbed the other healer) don't really have shields, nor a whole lot of mitigation. They lean much more heavily on raw healing
Barrier Healer Buffs stack with Tank Mitigation, don't they?
anyway, yeah it's fine to call shields mitigation
it should
but my problem is, what unique term do you want to use for the 10% less damage taken
is the allegory tomestone gear going to change in 5.5?
its mitigation
damage reduction
Hahahaha
that's all it is
that's a blanket term though
@oak radish no
thank youu
Even if the damage is reduced by .000000001%, its still mitigation
since it seems popular to call the yellow shields mitigation
Things that reduce how much dmg you take is mitigation
yes I know that
I'm saying I need a new term to call the 10% things to reduce confusion in the future
Shields block damage, mitigation deletes a percent of it
damage reduction
Fuilteach, that's what I used to think, but a lot of people hear use mitigation as a blanket term
Are there exceptions where Arm's Length WILL NOT work, just like some things pierce invuln?
yeah that damage reduction term will work though
yes, certain knockbacks can't be arm's length/surecast
more like unsurecast tbh
if the knockback is a core part of the mechanic then you usually cant use arms length on it
even if you can, sometimes more favorable not to
Like the Radial Knockbacks in Proto Ozma and Eden Leviathan
pretty sure levi can be kb resisted?
but for mechanics like "all players WILL move to this spot" then you usually cant
Does Dark Missionary work on Stack mechanics that do magic damage?
yes
Is there any easy way you can tell that an atttack will do physical or magical damage?
Tis a shame that DRK only has an AOE mitigation for magical damage and not also physical damage.
General rule of thumb is unless it looks like an actual not-magic object is hitting you then it’s magic like 90% of the time
delirium for pld
PLD dont deal with veil either aside from pressing it lol
well the thing is
generally pressed when aoe heals/shields are going out regardless
it's sad shake it off
No, I mean an AOE physical mitigation skill
like how delirium is sad inner release
knightshade cerberus is saying there wouldn't be much point
cause there aren't a lot of physical aoes
(that are dangerous at least)
yes, there arent a lot of physical aoe attacks from bosses, so a physical aoe mitigation isnt that useful
its mostly magic aoes
I mean
like titan's stomp is physical I think
but for savage
barely any physical aoes
physical attacks in general are pretty scarce outside of autos, you can search on fflogs and if the attack appears in Yellow, it's physical. Blue would be magical.
yeah feint is pretty much useless outside of autos and shadow's edge this tier iirc lol
formless judgement might be physical?
lol really? elemental break?
yes the proteans are physical
oh

anyone else having lag on Brynhildr/Crystal?
comcast is shitting itself so if you have comcast thats why
what’s the origins of “protean” = clock spread?
i checked that, its definitely the game doing it, everything else is fine
might just be the latest in overflow issues
protean wave from alexander - arm of the father (living liquid aka Pepsiman)
how long do I need to wait now 🥺
several minutes
i hate you lol
basically give it like 30minutes
@honest anvil it doesn't always mean clock spread, it can mean any conal aoe really, like in a3n or blue mage carnival
thats what its specifically as a reference to
earthshaker also refers to conal waves coming from the boss
but moreso for the ones with a marker on the targets heads
yeah but people call most new conal mechanics proteans I'm pretty sure
not sure clocks like e11s and MMex
if there's no clock spot we just call them conals tbh
I guess there just isn't enough conal mechs that aren't clocks for me to realize that
wait a minute
nvm
wait
don't a lot of people call bound of faith lightning proteans though?
prelim patch note says that treasure maps will get updated. As in, adjusted loot rates or new loots will get added?
maybe the term refers to conals that lock on to players
This is a stupid question, but do they playtest savage content before releasing it? I know that Savage content is supposed to be brutal, but perhaps Light Rampant was a bit much.
they do
its playtested in house, yes
I'd imagine everything is play tested thoroughly
mechanics like that are easier in statics though
and I'm guessing the in house testers operate like a static
^ light rampant wasnt hard, just needed people to well..do it with some coordination
light rampant is only that bad with the ilya strat as i've been told
usually new loot @honest anvil
also coming up with your strats together makes them easier to execute (I'm guessing)
ilya strat wasn't even a bad strat
What is the Unreal tier, btw?
it was a week 1 strat and thats it
ARR trials upped to lvl 80
Do you get anything for beating them other than bragging rights?
not even really bragging rights, but there's some loot from faux hollows
2 mounts and a necklace
If you get 60 on any job in the free trial, can you keep playing and level up another class without having to subscribe?
yes
can pretty much level all jobs available to you on free trial to 60 if you want
just wont earn any exp after 60
are faux hollows' loot exclusive?
some of it is in khloe silver/gold certs
y'know the real reason they didn't make the free trial isn't cause they thought that the MSQ wasn't as good, or they wan't a lot of content for people to look forward too, the real reason is so no one can get the satisfaction of getting all jobs to level 69
I would get a job of each combat type leveled to 60 before you start paying for sub, if I were you, because there's a certain secret line of quests you can do in ShB if you have one of each combat type job leveled up to 80
only loot that is exclusive to it right now are the sand fox and construct iv-s core
what about the horse?
I think you only have to level DoW jobs to get access to the Void Quests, IIRC
on gold certs
can be gotten from 3 lines
you need DoM jobs too
Is it a good idea to stockpile achievement certifications in case they ever add new mounts to the list, or something like that?
when was the last time they updated that anyway?
5.0
really?
the ribbon was added to achievement certs in 5.0 yes
I'm a stormblood player and I don't remember that hm
Oh ok, I was concerned since there's a finite amount of achievement points you can get
This game doesnt have an in-game bestiary like FF15 does yet, does it?
no
idk man
I'm pretty sure that the atma to animus upgrade had a bestiary
judging by how many days it took me to kill all of those mobs
wouldn't really call the books a bestiary
that was sarcasm 
hitlists aren't exactly the same thing ya know
yeah I suppose a list of names isn't the same as a biography
I feel like this game is the one where usable items are the most useless
you never see anyone pop potions or use ethers, do you?
stat potions are used in savage/ultimate
actually pots are ubiquitous in savage
ethers can have some use
Ethers are good during mana drought situations. Like when I have to res a bunch of people on RDM
I'm sure they have their uses
What is the point of raise macros? The person who you res will know immediately due to the text box. Is it more for teamwide communication?
some people use it for communication, yeah
It's supposed to tell other ressers, so they don't waste their time. It doesn't feel like it's used for that exact purpose anymore
they're usually for personalization, however, it can help alert your co-healer not to waste swift on that guy
some people do it because they're being funny
but in my personal opinion, outside of harder content
people arent going to pay attention to those macros
and in savage, usually people are paying enough attention that they aren't really necessary
Healers DO pay attention to Living Dead macros, however
I use them for personalization, like my RDM says "Get up <t>! You're not as dead as TF2!"
generally though, not recommended to macro gcds
I suppose macros are useful for things like LD and Superbolide because of how gimmicky they are for invulns
as long as it's a repeating command it usually doesn't matter
knightshade you should get a salted earth macro if you don't have one
so good
!faq macrogcd
What?
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
its not necessarily about the cast going off, but rather that you're going to end up delaying your gcd
but that's for combos
Why would I ever need a macro for Salted Earth?
like if you macro multiple GCDs
it applies to gcd in general
to place it knight
How do I make a macro for Salted Earth? I want it to just cast at my feet so I don't have to click on it but I have no experience making macros lol

I recommend also having one for /ac "Salted Earth" <t> but <me> works in most situations
Macros can range from amusing, to eye-rolling. It's probably better to not put any unnecessary text there. I've seen people get into fights on more than one occasion over them
don't necessarily need it, but it can be a QoL macro since placing ground aoes can be annoying
I saw that video about macroing gcds, good to know Kael
yeah double weaving salted earth without a macro is hard imo
I'll have to try that salted earth one out myself. So thank you ^^
yeah but balance recommends <t> for most situations but <me> is good for prepositioning and wall bosses, if you just want one button though, <me> is more versatile
You can have two of them in the same macro
yeah I suppose
/ac Salted Earth t
Repeat a few times
/ac Salted Earth me
Repeat a few times
/merror off
...
still, you'd have to untarget the boss to preposition your salted
Yeah
it's definitely worth considering though
/merror off needs to be at the top
and the micon needs to be at the bottom
you don't need to untarget to place a ground target

Is it still a good idea to macro Hallowed Ground since its not as gimmmicky as Living Dead or Superbolide?
no
Hey!
I currently just got the game with a couple of friends started as conjurer and we said we are gonna play together (I am lvl 11)
I know at lvl 10 u can change jobs so by doing so do I get rid of my conjurer? Or can I get a new class that I can swap when I am playing alone and swap back to conjurer when playing with them?
none of the invuls really need a macro
I'm saying to place it <me> you'd have to untarget if you're using LC's macro
You can swap classes back and forth freely once you have them
also doesn't really help when the invuls have their own delays that make macroing them potentially unwieldy
it doesn't untarget
Hiya! New casual player here, I’m about to finish ARR, strongly considering getting the Red Mage job boost to avoid the grind and get the level 70 stuff because it looks incredible to me. Also considering Gunbreaker and Dancer as other classes to level up and play, but that doesn’t really pertain directly to the matter of the Red Mage boost per se I suppose. But yeah, just lookin to get some feedback. (Sorry for such a long message btw!! ^^")
How can we make sure our new friend here doesnt accidently sell equipment that they have equipped on another job?
because after the macro goes off it returns to original target
because its soft targeting for the cast
holmgang benefits from it
but if you already used salted on <t> then you can't place it on <me>
so you have to untarget the boss to use the macro for <me>
With set assignment, there will be a small note icon that will show that the item is being used by a set
tbh i wouldn't bother with a job boost for red mage. 20 levels for 25$ is imo a waste of money when you can pretty easily get there in-game just by doing potd or dungeons @reef smelt ]
oh right holm's a bit different
its simply untrue that the macro will untarget
not you don't get it
I understand how macros work
I know it doesn't change your target
I'm saying if you wanted to place salted earth on your character you'd have to click off the boss
you don't though
you don't
because the priority for the macro is <t>
oh i get what they are meaning
in that if you double up on the <t> and <me> in same macro
but thats why you would want to ideally have two macros for it
rather than one
is the garo gear set not available anymore?
yeah
Almost 1.5 yrs now
Sometimes events get recycled, so there's a chance it could come back
I think
very unlikely in GARO's tbh
Ah yeah, that makes sense. My main justification for it I’d say would be the armory bonus as well, maybe for Gunbreaker and Dancer so leveling them would be quicker too, just since even the little bit of PotD grinding I’ve done started to get a bit braindead/repetitive and I don’t want to end up resorting to that at least for a really extended period of time ^^" I don’t want to lose interest in the game but I also want to be able to level consistently and have good looking stuff xD Thanks so much for the input!! I didn’t think about it from the fact that it’s 20 levels, that does change things at least a bit I’d say :0
since afaik its not quite on the same page as Yokai where the CEO is friends with Yoshi-P
@cursive abyss I've heard you should macro holmgang if you do dungeons as WAR, if the enemy you holmgang to dies you lose holmgang, so you want to have holmgang <me>
Ah, yeah that would make a difference. Didn't know they were friends. Pretty neat tbh
yep, he's been on a few of the anniversary streams
The MSQ will overlevel you, no point in spending big bucks for that
this is correct
improves responsiveness for disengaging as well
Ah alrighty! And as far as other jobs go? What if I got it for like, one of the jobs I was interested in and overleveled the other from MSQ and armory bonus or something, idk if that would be more efficient or if it even would work lmao
if you're on a preferred server
How do ventures work? I went through the whole entire MSQ without knowing what they are and what they do.
its pretty easy to level up like 2-3 jobs with msq, especially if you're doing daily roulettes
they give you crafter mats and minions knight
they can make a bit of cash if you level them up enough
Ventures are basically little missions you send your retainers on. Depending on their job, they will gather different things.
OH so its like the Palico expedition stuff in MH4U on the 3DS
I'd recommend setting them to gathers
cause if you set them to DoW/M then you have to reset them to 1 once they get their job iirc
no
going from class to job doesn't reset their level
if you want to switch them from a class to another class or from a job to another job then yes, you'd have to reset
Besides belts getting the boot, how else is inventory getting reworked?
The armoury slots from belt are being moved to rings and weapons
but really not much reason to give them job unless you want to make them an expansion job/give them job gear/not going to play the ARR classes to max lvl
15 to each making them 40 slots big
5 reserved
Would there be any point to just have a general item chest like Monster Hunter has or do retainers already serve that function well enough?
most people do just fine with 2 retainers
yeah SE wants retainers to be your main storage
inventory issues start arising when you decide to be a hoarder
Can you get judged again to aim for 80 if you didn't hit it the first time for fashion report
It's not even that the retainers aren't enough space
it's that it'd be nice if specific items had their own chocobo bag tbh
cause going to a main city sucks
and you gotta pay monthly to be a hoarder
and you still get crappy service
Proper management of your inventory helps
Once you massively out level certain gathering nodes, I just don't see a need to horde those materials
what I don't get is why they haven't either come up with a feature for inv management or sold us one
I just go and grab them when I need a few
Does rolling for every single piece of gear in a dungeon and then selling that gear if you get it make a difference in the long run?
like there should be a system for storing glam chest items, and putting items of the same category in the same place
Knight you can also level desynth with dungeon gear
I suppose so, and you should have about 1.1-1.3 million Gil by the time you get to Eureka anyway, allowing you to do it fairly comfortably
you can make decent money with gear from dungeons by converting it into gc seals
if you ever want to do relic weapons, you're gonna want some desynth
but yeah GC seals is what most people do
I highly recommend making it so that all new gear goes in your inv if you do either though
When is the earliest point you can start doing extreme trials in ARR for mounts?
probably 70
technically can start at 50
yeah
plenty of people do them unsync for WT
they usually solo it tbf
solo? some jobs can do it at 60, 70 would be more comfortable with 80 ofc being most comfortable
still see groups from time to time for ARR EXs
Alternatively you can just PF groups for mount farming and a bunch of level 80s will join you and help out
otherwise you'd see more PFs then you do
I think
yeah
thing is most people don't farm the ARR primals
like how they don't usually farm ravana
Odin gets farmed regularly for his glam
they're just really quick
I've never seen an Odin PF tbh
like it's not marketable so
you're probably soloing
That's what I had to do to farm my Odin glams for tank, because the Queue time for it was 60 mins
Weird how Odin is an extreme fight, yet the title card at the beginning does not say that
didn't you say you finished the story Knight?
Yeah, everything up to 5.4
yeah, he's not listed under the extremes
but he's 100% an ex fight, not in trial roulette
just like how the average player considers bahamut raids savage
I find it weird how even though Odin is an EX fight, his mount is in the MogStation, of all places
moggle mog doesn't have a mount
bahamut raids are effectively savage tho
cape westwind doesn't have a mount
This was before all EX Trials had mounts
ARR wasnt exactly consistant
Odin was not like the other EX trials
he was an event fight
that was added to the game later
the extreme fights that had mount released with those mounts
Kaelwyrn I'm saying that bahamut was effectively savage in comparison to how you were saying odin was effectively ex
also
Was it part of that weird PSO2 Crossover that we never got the north american part of because Sega initially backed out of localizing PSO2 outside of japan?
ShUt uP aNd giVe mE mY CaPe westwind mount
pso2 event happened after the event iirc
yeah trial was fanfest 2014, cross over was 2016
Do you happen to know what the japanese version of FF14 got in terms of cosmetics from PSO2?
nothing
because the japanese version of 14 isn't difference from the NA or EU version
Even in JP? Ouch, what a stingy "crossover"
if JP was going to get anything, we as a whole would've gotten something
Speaking of Crossovers, why are people weary of another crossover alliance raid? Was Nier just THAT badly presented?
People probably want something more tied to the overall lore
I think people just like mhach
Like the puppets bunker is literally next doors to Komra if you fly up high enough
And somehow the robots haven’t been found until recently
I feel like it'll make more sense when they finish but, still really weird
I thought ivaloce.was pretty cool though
Like Eureka, is there a potion that increases your EXP gain for regular levels?
Just food in terms of consumables for combat
@honest anvil In this case, I'm talking about a potion that increases your EXP gain by 100%
Crafters/gatherers get Manuals that act like rested experience for a set amount of experience
no potions
Huh, I guess Eureka's special then
yeah potions of harmony are exclusive to eureka, weird addition but not complaining
the exp gain is only 10% for those btw

Does syncing keep my gcd tier(?) the same as my 80’s?
no
your skillspeed/spellspeed will also sync so..
can just call it gcd or sks/sps fwiw
i assume all ultimate bis sets in the balance takes this gcd change into account?
that's why they're different sets kinda
At level 50 Astrologian, what are those three slots for?
that's your divination gauge
under actions & traits at the bottom click the job gauge thing
nvm you get divination at 50 i edited
They do that with all raid minions eventually.
!faq benchmark
Oh ty
hey guys, which level of potd better drop wise to sell on mb? 1-50 or 51-100?
is there a way to get to gold saucer from kugane, directly
No
Which gatherer is the most profitable to level first?
i can never remember if people say miner or botanist but I never hear anyone say fisher
depends on the MB, but i find Miner gives more stuff for crafters if you wanna level for them
what is the way to get ilv520 gear outside of trading crafted items in 5.5?
tomestones of revelation
or run the new nier raid
is nier raid any harder than the previous expansion's 24-man?
also, does it drop weapon?
puppets bunker was really hard on release?
all alliance raids are, but ShB have been really tough for new players yeah
expect to get your ass beat first time through
tough as in "you'll be on the ground and maybe wipe once" but thats about it
sounds like fun. i'm at copied factory now but havent tried it yet
oh yeah, they are really fun. do the new raid asap for maximum chaos hahaha
what is a good way to spend revelation if you want to gear all classes?
spend it on your main classes first
510 crafted gear will be good enough until 6.0 for everything else
Can you buy FC housing for ur FC with an alt that DOESN'T have the required GC rank to buy a personal house?
I want to save gold for housing so I won't touch crafted gear 😮
Why get 510 crafted gear anyways, nothing worth crafting is gonna come out until 6.0
Maybe some glam items, thats it
if crafted gear is expensive a house is a bit of a stretch
Is Salted Earth a DoT?
ye
@plain python have you thought about getting an apartment instead?
ground dot basically

Funny how DRK has 2 DoTs, Salted Earth and Living Shadow.
two dots that arent real dots lmao
Why is it that a tiny little carbuncle or a living shadow clone can make the difference between winning and losing in savage/ultimate content?
How do you get the smart Hildibrand glam?
There’s been enrage fails where it’s been down to auto attacks
Wtf
Smart?
The non-tattered one
Keep doing the quest line
so you basically have to play perfectly 110% of the time to beat that content?
That’s only if you’re at the bare minimum item level needed
And a death or two can make it happen
the idea is that you do it right or not at all, and as you get better gear you can make more mistakes
Why is it that you can have the Zantetsuken animation go off in Odin's fight, yet still win with like a fraction of a second left?
because the animation was before the move hitting you, so you killed it just before the move actually went off
kinda like the wind up of LB's
You have until the symbol that appears gets cut in two or so
Does this apply to engage timers in ultimates as well?
Depends on the animation of the enrage
Sometime it’s just their regular raidwide attack but it does 99m damage instead
If an animation is really drawn out, I guess that can be exploited, like here, just before UW's enrage hits, the carby goes to town and gets the W https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eExW7-0MtCM
World 1st Ultima Weapon (Ultimate) aka UWU by Entropy!
Including BGM.
sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't
So what exactly are those three diamond shaped slots at the top of the astrologian gauge for?
They’re for divination
I just got to level 50, but I don't seem to have any commands unlocked yet that do anything with it.
gotta do job quests
Ah okay.
Cards now also give a seal that’s used to power it up. The more unique seals the more of a boost it gives
Was putting it off. Always do grinding while I listen to a podcast, then story stuff after it's over. :x
Ideally you use it with all 3 seals being different but if RNG doesn’t favor you then you use it with whatever amount of duplicates you have when it’s ready
Instead of holding it
What kind of enrage is UCoB?
For the final phase bahamut spams Ahk Morn but it does millions of damage instead
So you spread out around him so each one only kills one person
Can you HG that?
Nope
nope
Enrages go through immunities
If its meant to kill you, its gonna
Sometimes a couple damage splits do to avoid cheesing them
But they’re not as common
did invluns used to not do that back in ARR?
like how the coils were kinda broken by players
Just a few select splits
Aren't exoflares RNG in UCoB?
Mainly Shiva EX’s split is one I remember
They follow a pattern of sorts
I can’t tell you how exactly it functions but you won’t ever see combinations that are impossible to safely dodge
Like 1-2-3-4-5
It may be something like 1-3-2-5-4
hello guys
if I buy this
do I get 30 days ?
Why are pets allowed to act during ultimate enrages?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
because 1.0 code or something
@leaden ginkgo yes, but I don’t suggest buying from Eneba as it’s a Key reseller site
pets in this game are wack
So there’s no guarantee that the code you buy isn’t already used or obtained from a stolen credit card
In which case if the person ever recovers their card and disputes the charge your account essentially gets banned
I’m just telling you to be careful.
Those sites are a lot cheaper than retail for a reason
yup, I am thankful for that 😄
I already bought a lot of games from a lot of sites and never got a problem tho
and I was buying the game time from mog till I saw I can buy cheaper :))
wait, why are you buying a key if you already paid for game time?
Also note that you can only redeem the starter edition only once per platform
You can’t keep redeeming it for the same platform
So if you already got the game on windows or steam you can’t use more windows keys
You’d need a Mac or PS4/PS5 key
Yes, but you already redeemed it for the game
I just hit level 50, how come I can't accept the Samurai Job Quest
Do you have the expansions registered to your account?
Oh I didn't know I needed the expansion oof
Thought it was a basegame class
thatd explain it
Does Shadowbringers come with the other expansion?
Yep
any1 know how 2 access chat logs tht have disappeared on ps4 bc they go way after a certain time 4 some reason
so I bought shadowbringers, do I need to activate it or something?
still can't get the samurai quest
Yes, you need to activate and download it
Once you bought it you should have gotten instructions on how to use it
On console, chat logs can't be recovered once removed for any reason, whether cleared manually or overwritten by other events.
i see :/
So it says stormblood is installed and registered but still can't accept the the way of the samurai
do i need to be at a certain point in MSQ?
Have you reopen your game?
yeah I reloaded it
Did the launcher download more data?
Is SAM locked after 2.0 msq as well?
Nope
Only the Heavensward expansion jobs are locked behind a physical location
Stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs just need you to own the expansion and meet the level requirements. This will apply to Endwalker jobs too.
Good to know. Not too many things just level locked here

Is it worth casting Peleton in City States?
Peloton? yeah it's almost as fast as sprinting, use it anytime you cant use your mount tbh
whats the name of that place where you can sell things for double gil?
thx
How do i mark a location on the map?
ctrl+right click
shift+right click
Thank you @little swift
It's easier to just get the current INT potions for the most part
Unless you're willing to grind out the mats for the level 70 stuff
... good luck?
anyone know why i can't fly in arr zones after using an msq skip on an alt? i checked all the prerequisite quests in the journal and they are all completed
might be a bug.
had a random bug happen on another alt once where the crystal tower raids weren't unlocked
(with msq skip)
Should I be trying to get all my pieces to 115iL once I swap over to Samurai? I got a box that had a few pieces of 115 SAM gear but not all pieces
You should be at 130, ideally.
130 is the maximum obtainable gear for A Realm Reborn
Oh dang, so should I get my total iL to at least 130 before I continue with MSQ?
go farm poetics on roulettes so you can exchange that to get some good augmented ironworks gear
!faq Poetics
Just get there before you begin Heavensward
There's a lot of instances both optional and part of the MSQ
So you'll soon have Poetics spilling out the wazoo at any rate
Ahh okay, do I just do the Duty Roullete on repeat for the Poetics?
should i farm the bozja raid for the gear???
How is it to do the Alexander savage-mode trials at 510 ilevel?
how easy?
Soloable.
Because, i'm probably never going get enough duty pops
