dont suppose theres a way to get rid of having to click yes i do want to enter somewhere
Has anyone got a picture of the bozja dancer weapons at the first or second "Glowing" level? Preferably on a character in a screenshot
the enchufla?
What's with the background white-noise like audio? I dunno if it's just my system but there's a very quiet noise in the background of the game that goes away when I alt-tab out
or law order
My first thought was my PC itself, but it's definitely coming from my speakers
I am trying to do the 3rd step of the relic weapon in Shb
it says do lvl60 dungeon for the "bitter memory" item
there r 12 lvl60 dungeon, do I pick 5 randomly when queuing or do ppl go for certain onces for this step?
Preferably both
anti-tower is the most common choice for that step @twilit jewel
People prefer antitower
any reason why that dungoen?
Bless you, thank you!
Its the fastest
It only takes like 7-8 mins with a good group
@onyx anchor I don't hear such a sound on my system/ game. But I don't use speakers...so maybe it's the speakers.
Only on FFXIV though... very odd
aha, well i will keep fingers crossed for the queue to pop since I am a dps ^^
@onyx anchor What are your settings? Do you have just normal ambient sound w/o BGM or? I'll try o replicate it.
My in-game audio settings?
Everything enabled
Listening Position 10
All at 100
Standard Equalizer
Yeah when tab I don't hear anything odd.
I hear ambient noises, a bit of wind as well that sort off like white noise but...not really. There's a storm where I am (in game) so could just be that.
to get choco i need to finish those?
If it's only FF it may be clashing with your sound system. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for this one.
My Little Chocobo gives ye the birb. The other is for PVP.
You have to buy the choco issuance from your GC.
Did you give him the issuance
You buy it with GC seals at the GC base.
Idk how its done nowadays because they changed it but I assume msq gives you the seals now to buy it
I believe it gives you the 200 needed...but it's been a while.
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Oh okay it does
Kupo bot you so good.
Can retainers wear yellow/white scrip gear?
Yes
Thank you!
where i can find quarmaster
At your grand company base
found him
It gives 500 and the Chocobo Mount Pass costs 200
Anyway, where in The Gods' Grip can I find fireflies?
I gotta brutally slay 4 of 'em
They’re around x26, y37
oh, right at the edge
ty!
aight so um this is like my millionth question but why does the map sometimes do this?
does whm have access to holy in dzemael?
Yes

what is limit break?
A special skill that changes based on the role who uses jt
It uses the limit break gauge in the top left
I've seen the gauge but not anything to actually use it
Action and traits > general > limit break
what about benediction
Nope
medica II?
Thats lv50
Anyone know the best nd fastest way to level up specifically gunbreaker since it starts at level 60?
Heaven on high
do great gubal library untiil level 61
I’m now on level 67, still do heaven on high?
doma castle until 69
then castrum abania until 71
then bozja
Ahhh okay thank you I’ll most definitely be doing those right now
is there a restriction for macros with 'hotbar 10'? Im trying to do this but nothing happens I don't understand
by what point in the msq should i have the allag/crystal tower stuff done? im still inbetween arr and hw
i just did the first raid
thanks🙏
oh nvm I found the solution
how soon can a new player join the novice network if they have questions when starting the game?
what am i supposed to be doing with all this antique armor
Should be able to use touchpad to cycle between UI elements, that being one
the level 50 dungeon stuff?
you give it to a guy in mor dhona for dyeable AF gear
which guy
No not the dyeable AF gear
oh
It's just the ilvl 90 version of the AF gear
i thought you were saying its dyeable as fuck
The same kind you get in the job quests
You can dyeable ARR AF gear but it's from another method
yeah i need some stuff thats super expensive
the 'antique gear' is irrelevant in the modern game
so I should just sell it?
NPC it, yeah. don't think it can be sold on the marketboard
^
gotcha, thnaks
but if you do want to dye your 50 AF gear you need to buy or craft "xx armor augmentations" xx being for whichever job. for example PLD goes by Gallant
yeah theyre expensive af on the market
(they're also dirt cheap to craft, but that's assuming you have gatherers leveled.)
welcome to the true endgame haha. the pursuit of glamour is expensive

should be this one
oh because of course it has a different name
damn it game >:c
yeah, you have that a lot actually
cri
mostly when some pieces differ in material
like in this case, it's cloth pants not metal pants
so no iron scale
What should i put for my RDM relic? 🙂
Crit > DH > Det
Is this fine?
yea
true, it is mostly cloth
well, hide
so i was checking out this material mending but when i put a materia on an item it says it's +0
did i do something wrong?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
ohhh
ty
im at idyllshire and what accessories do i buy for whm
Stuff with mind
shire stuff that has mind on it
oh ok tyty
is there a way to boost to 70 but not the job?
like my drk is low level but i dont wanna level him lol i just wanna do the class story
New game plus job quests
system that lets you replay certain questlines
so if you buy a job skip you would be able to replay the drk questline
even though the skip technically completes it
good to know, how i would do that, i have to talk to a npc
will that affect my main character?
Unlocks are only char base
aight erm
is there a helm for the iron scale set xD
or is the head, like, not an important part of the body anymore

you can usually find stuff like this by just comparing the ilvl
there rarely is more than one set at any given ilvl
i don't think anything on the mb is cheap
maybe not yet, but obviously its not all expensive when crafters are so easy to level.
oh, same server
^
https://garlandtools.org/ is a very nice site also. if you were to search "iron headgear" you can find items that share the same model also.
i don't rlly care if it's hq or not rn
not for glam right now as it's actually pretty strong but i can make do without hq gear
where do i buy weapon for whm at idyllshire
MSQ and job quests/dungeon gear will give you sufficient gear to carry on til 50+, not to mention you will be outleveling most gear you get fairly fast at low levels.
ykno, as long as youre not trying to get 3 different jobs through msq at the same time on 1 toon, i guess
Should i be doing the daily duty roulette guildhests?
not 3, only 2 :p
not really
you realize you get more exp on jobs that are lower level than your highest yea?
find whats fun and focus msq imo, you will unlock more content in order to help level alt jobs as well.. but also play as you prefer
guildhests arent gonna give you much in terms of rewards, but if youre bored i guess it wont hurt? it's not notable exp or anything by any means and most skip it
thx 🙂
Hi, for the event mog mog, what is the best dungeon ? praetorium or a other ? thanks 😄
Aurum vale with 3 blued
Otherwise rival wings pvp or wanderers keep
do healers get faster queues in pvp too?
No cause role doesn't matter
even in rival wings?
Yep
is this mount 2 seats or one only?
Only for The Feast, which is fixed on 1h/1t/1ranged/1melee
oh fair, the feast exists oops
1 person on each wing
oh so it's a new mount?
yes
how to get :o
its the mount for collecting all dragon mounts in shb
damn
Is any of the chocobo skill sets outright better than the others?
dps and healer
tank line shouldn't be used unless you're going for a rank 20 chocobo
hey, do you guys use third eye often on Samurai? Leveling Sam up, but not really finding much use on this ability
not really
it's only use is if you know a raidwide or unavoidable damage is coming out
^
raidwides you just learn, unavoidable is if you know something is targeting you
I mean you could use it for when you fuck up and stand in bad
but ideally you shouldnt of course
gotcha thanks bros
It gives you access to the most efficient Kenki skill
So using it properly is key to increasing your dps

glam
Wait a few days for patch apparently they're gonna have Gil sink mounts
wdym gil sink
A way to remove gil from the game
Buying stuff on market isn't a gil sink cause it goes to another player
But buying items from npcs is
Can I get ||nier|| mount
No
What is that ship I have seen then
The gundam thing?
Idk
There's Multiple ships or similar so need pictures
the shb dragon mount probably
The closest there is to a nier mount is gabriel from Bozja currently
This thing?
That's Gabriel mark 3
whats the best way to level up other classes
!faq altlvlguide
ah dont have storm blood
@toxic glen I assume those will be like 5mil per?
They said its not 1 or 2 mil
And I sure they wont go to 10 👀
The same applies up to level 60 :p
I'm still newish to ff14 only been playing a month anyone got any tips on how to find people who like to farm hoh I'm trying to get the hairstyle
No idea got lucky and it dropped, most likely gone back up since people arent doing DR as much now
@turbid mason There has to be a discord for it I am sure
There is a discord for everything (in this game)
You can try PF
yeah I never really found out how party finder works like how to set it up and look xD
You open the PF menu
There will be a button to start a party
Then you gotta choose the duty type
Umm let me get its name 1 sec
Probably alot more
Tbh get the silver one, looks better
All that's confirmed is that it's not going to be just 1-2mil
@turbid mason I think its called Deep Dungeon cant remember
ty so so much
You pick Deep Dungeon, if you can pick HoH you pick that, not sure if you can or not
Then type in description what you are trying to achieve
Does "market prohibited" also mean I can't trade it to another player directly?
no
Most of the time, but there are exceptions.
Not always
market prohibited means you can't put it on the marketboard
untradeable means untradeable
untradeable means you aren't able to trade it directly to another player
Ah thank you. I can give away some of these spare triple triad cards then 🙂 They're just unsellable and market prohibited
you can exchange those for mgp
there's TT traders at the main counter in the gold saucer, and the TT area that will do it
yep thanks! I just know some of these are favorite characters of friends - I"ll hold em for them
Ahh dang. I didn't see that at all
@faint flare sorry i was in that raid specifically so i was wondering. i have seen so many ships and like planes in pvp is like if everyone show their mount there lol
how do i get access to more "logs?" I can only select hunting right now
as someone who's interested in picking up summoner, is it true that they have insanely long rotations
oof
!faq smncycle
Its not that bad when you break it down
ig
i thought summoner would fit with me since i like playing blm
ig its not similar
ig so
the carbuncle is making me mad with its passive aoe when im trying to level it
It basically addex 150 potency to your spells + 2 akh morn potencies
You get 8 Wyrmwaves and 2 akh morns
!action Akh Morn
Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 650 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Can only be executed while Demi-Bahamut is summoned.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
thanks
So.8x 150 + 2x 650
Can someone view my high-end raid? I need to see what I was doing wrong.
Where can i buy a drk lvl 40 weapon? I discarded mine on accident and dont want to pay 500k on the market for a weapon im going to get rid of anyway
market board or vendors
a vendor in the forgotten knight at ishgard should sell them

do I have to finish every resistance weapon quest to unlock Bozja? By every I mean finish the whole questline
Is it possible to hide the names of the skills when selecting a side of the crossbar?
Resistance weapons are seperate to the story
Just need to do Hail to the Queen and follow that chain
Yes. Character config, hotbar and crosd iirc
Somewhere in therr
character config > hotbar > cross > display hotbar help
You can skip the relic weapon for Bozja beyond the initial step/instance one which is required to unlock Bozja iirc
I did the instance but Sejwhatever his name doesn’t let me go there yet
Done 5.1?
done all msq
@faint flare @remote lintel thanks for the help! Found it 🙂
oh. That’s the one?
what? so all I had to do what was take this quest? thought this led me down 22 more quests until I got there
The resistance weapons are seperate and optional
Yes! Unlocked! Thank god it is seperate 
That runs alongside it
have any of the mog tome event special glamours been repeated? the 100 tome ones
They've been unique every time
does anyone know how to acess my mount i bought on the final fantasy website
Did you get a letter from the mogstation yet?
go to a mail moogle and retrieve it from there
account wide items can take a few hours
im at moogle
click the "Request Delivery" button on the mail menu
that can sometimes fetch it quicker
i dont see that option, only newest, previous, and past
Right at the very top of the mail moogle
Use the item then character menu button > mount guide
You NEED to have unlocked your chocobo mount before you can use any
yes its unlocked
Where to unlock guildhests ?
I looked at Levemete in Uldah and Limsa (I started at Limsa)
But he doesn't really give me any quests for unlocking them.
Since you started in Limsa you have to do "Leves of Swiftperch" and then it's just in duty finder
er
I tried dming you to ask you that in game but it couldn't reach you. Lol
"Simply the Hest" in Swiftperch
If you started in Limsa, go to west la nocesa
idk why ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is there a way to have dungeon gear drops go right into my inventory rather than my armoury chest?
Yes, there's a setting in character config
This might be a dumb question, but I just started playing and I wanted to try playing with a controller. It's working fine so far but I cant seem to figure out how to use skills off of my hotbar while in combat 
Where?
yes that wheres that from
Gabriel mark 3 is a rare drop from Delerum
Or market board for alot of gil
That first tick box
thanks
whats delerum
I dont see an option for that in the button config for the controller
The 24man thats at the end of the current bojza story
It's under Hotbar options
Delubrum Reginae
I just want to be sure, you just mean that you don't know how to use skills period right? that's it?
its in character config
Yeah, while using a controller. I feel pretty dumb for not being able to figure it out haha
L2 or R2 and then the d-pad or shape buttons based on what you want
That's how you use your hotbar
So I hold R2, it highlights the right hand side of the cross hotbar, and you can see the dpad and shape buttons corrosponding to the different skills
Weird, it doesnt do anything for me at all
L2 would select the left hand side of the hotbar
do you have the cross hotbar
^
or the pc hotbar
Screenshot your game
pc hot bar I guess, it looks like it normally does when I'm using my kb/m haha
then you need to change to cross hotbar
btw what are the strengths and weaknesses of a summoner i should be aware of
Weakness: if you die you're FUCKING destroyed in dps...also pet ai is fucking stupid
hm
isnt that just every class
Strength: good dps, has raise, has raid buffs
Its worse on summoner
Dead before demi? Goodbye literally all your dps
huh
Have fun waiting another minute to do any dps
Death means you lose demi progress, any unspent Aetherflow, all ruin stacks, your dot timings are probably now out of wack
He won't promote 🤷♂️
Do the blue quests in bojza.first
Oh.
They direct you around and let you use the various facilities
Those blue quests are the bojzan story which is required to progress, unlock the rest of the map and get to castrum and eventually Delerum

Then Zadnor in 5.55
from 40-50 is spamming dungeons faster than palace?
It's faster at all times pretty much assuming decent queue times
dungeons are faster :o?
always
Potd's main draw is the generally quicker ques
how many people are needed to reliably farm tsukuyomi ex? and is it more or less difficult compared to shinryu ex?
If dungeons ques are shorter than 15mins then they're better
I hate to be this annoying but it’s all confusing to me. How can I leave Bozja?
hit u then hit leave
Open the duty window
oh yeah. It is an instance 🤦
two questions
is it normal for a samurai to beat out a summoner on ST boss fights
and seocnd, how can i make my ACT show total damage and not damage per encounter
At equal skill levels, yes
Samurai has no raid buffs so its utility is its high personal damage
I feel strangely better now
I was worried I was doing medicore summoner damage and dragging my party down
on that note, how can i make my ACT show total damage done for the whole dugneon?
smn sam and blm are tied for the top 3 dps
i changed it to total damage done but it still displays encounter
It auto ends an encounter after a set amount of no activity
you cant really display total dmg over the entire dungeon
not that i know of
Thats primarily what its used for
Since dungeons really aren't a good test of dps
Its not suited for that
I’m a blitzkrieg tomorrow for irregular tomes. What are items, outside of ones you can get by other means (such as the riding maps), are only available to the moogle event?
Doing*
I think i need to work on my ST damage a bit more along with my AoE
total dmg doesnt really matter because it'll just be a fraction of the boss's max health
Everything else is gotten elsewhere
Thanks. That’s what’ll aim for
since samurai and Summoner is supposedly on the same tier
im obviously doing something wrong
Do a Raid like Eden or Emerald EX
And use xivanalysis.com
It will shout at you for basic errors
Uptime, ghosting things, dot upkeep
Etc
Tsuku's difficulty comes mostly from meteors. Shin ex is easier to hp push into phases but its mechanics are potentially harder
ooo Xivanalysis looks extremly useful
I usually keep my dots up all the time but having this to scrutinize my gameplay would help alot
thanks ill have this bookmarked!
dungeons arent a good measure of dps
The main pitfalls is not keeping cooldowns rolling. Mismanagement of Egi assaults/ruin stacks
And ghosting shit
Any of this forgotten fragments intended for tanks?
I usuall ytry to have my egi assaults on cooldown or at least use one of them before I go into a dreadwymr trance
But now that im here
When i bahamut, I usually go Ruin IV + Anh morning
Do people usually jsut spam only Ruin II when bahamuts up?
Ive thought about hard casting ruin ruin + ruin II Ank morning
Y i try not to
I usually try not to use my Ruin IV outside of bahamut windows and have it stockpiled to 4 stacks
If you're using Ruin 2 then yoy messed up ruin management
you use up all of your egi assaults before you use ruin
but i was wondering if we run out of egi assaults for ruin weaving outside of dreadwyrms
What do we cast then?
can i log in my ps4 account to PC
Do we just keep casting ruin without using ruin IV
before the next trance for bahamut
thats what im struggling with
then no
Trial is locked to the platform you choose
@faint flare
You spam ruin when you have nothing to weave...you can spare some ruin 4s to weave
I try to keep 3 ruin stacks at all times
Yes, if you know you'll be able to assault again before getting to bahamut
You need to think ahead with ruin management
if I cant would i ust go to contionously hard casting Ruin 3?
Okay so if unable to egi assault soon before bahamut
Just keep casting Ruin 3 wihtout weaving in Ruin II
so otuside of egi assaults and out of ruin ivs
Or dump one before assaulting
THAT is when we can weave in ruin 2
Yes...id you messed up ruin stacks and have no assaults then the rare ruin 2 is fine..
Just ear mark it and think on how to avoid it
alright so to sum up everything
You can do entire fights without ruin 2
Try to only use Ruin IV during bahamut phase with your 4 ruin stacks
With proper management
Use egi assault on cool down with your Ruin 3 Weave
You can save 1 of each assault
And spend ruin stacks only during bahamut phase
Use one if egi assault I i scoming up and you are starting to weave
OHHHH I had no idea egi assault 2 also gave ruin!
I thought it was only egi assault 1
okay I think i just need some polishing then and im set
I think the last thing im going to ask is, during aoe pulls
As i said, i keep 3 stacks at all time, so I'm one assault away from being capped and if i have to use a R4, one EA1 and 2 will cap me out
when im having bahamut up
Hovering around 3 is a good idea
Would I just keep spamming outburst without using a ruin IV?
Or would I use a ruin IV during aoe pulls -> Ank morning
Okay so outburst Ruin 3 Outburst ruin 3
so dont use ruin Ivs?
You do, to weave akh morn
!action outburst
And thats it
Ahh so I would use outburst and weave in a ruin IV in aoe
You quite literally just replace Ruin 3s from the normal rotation with Outburst
Everything else stays the same
No
can someone give me an example rotation
You're ONLY replacing the Ruin 3s, not 4s
AoE: use Garuda egi, spam outburst, use Ruin 2/4 for Energy Drain, Tri-disaster, bane, and Painflare
In normal bahamut you would Ruin 4 + akh > ruin 3 3 times > ruin 4 + akh > the ending stuff
In aoe
You would instead ruin 4 + akh > OUTBURST 3 times > ruin 4+ akh > ending stuff
You're LITERALLY only swapping Ruin 3 for Outburst AND NOTHING ELSE
Everything is the same
You're just replacing the Single target spells with their AoE equilivant
Alright thank you so much
use weskalber for leveling rotations
weskalber?
alright i will give him a watch thank you guys for the help and tips and clarification!

Why does Aspected Benefic give the exact same buffs and restore the same amount of HP whether you're using the one that costs 400 MP or 700 MP?
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.
The description for it shows the same buffs.
no it doesnt
no it doesnt?
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 250% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 200
It shows both cause it needs to give you the info of what it does for each sect
Took a screenshot of both, literally the only difference is that one has "Level 34" written at the bottom.
We're talking about Aspected Benefic and Aspected Helios by extention
It's not meant to change
One costs more MP tho.
Because it has all the info on it
the effect changes based on your sect
Try casting it.
and if you have neutral sect up as well
the button always has both active, but only applies one effect based on your stance
The info doesn't change just because you have a different sect up
It READs both because its showing you what each sect does to it
But it only applies the appropriate one
Shields are considered more powerful than Regen since it's an upfront heal + extra temp heal
at least, in raid design
And with enough you can take 0 damage
thus, it also costs more MP up front
Is the epic of alexander ultimate hard?
ultimates are the hardest content in the entire game
^
So yes it's hard
A full clear flawless run of that fight is a 20 minute fight by itself
all very complicated mechanics and fucking up is going to set you back to the start
The numbers are pulled at 10 ET
Then the next set can be bought
that's 33 mins from now, right?
Guys, what skills does a whm have at level 50
Because im having one thats afk and doing nothing but spamming cure on me and doing no dps when theres nothign to do and im starting to suspect its a bot
definitely more than cure 1
just call for a votekick at that point
This is the wandered palace and i dont mind but since i enjoy doing huge pulls here but..
they're not even using holy
kick them
could be someone who bought job skip ...
it's toxic to not DPS which is expected and laid out in the Halls of the Novice
then just kick them
Oh they vote kicked him when I was typing here
I feel kind of bad now but also slightly relived
can I use holy to stun boss? or it just for minions
Power through, soon enough you’ll throw Glare at them instead
rlly looking forward to use cool offensive skill other than stone XD
Yeah doesnt really feel all that powerful throwing pebbles at a boss
another question here, does these healer's offensive skills scaled with int?
oh don't mind me, just looked it up and saw there's nothing to do with int when u play healers.
okie tyys
idk if it works on dps stuff though
Mind? It scales with healer dps yeah
As far as melds go though the focus is comfy piety and then crit
okie

Trying to decide when to do praetorium since the deadline for esoterics is coming soon; is it really almost 1 hr runtime?
more like 40-45 minutes
45-ish minutes i believe
put off CasMer until today because I heard you couldn't skip; it wasn't terrible
guess I can sit through this too
I did mine ytd... I feel like watching netflix with 7 ppl rather than dungeons and bosses
Its alright the first couple times, but to me it got tiring real fast
Hi, I saw some peeps in raids having that sprout icon next to their name. May I know how they do that?
either they bought lvl+msq skip or they skipped every cutscene in game
ahh! I thought there was a way to enable it again. Must've done everything really quick since theyre already doing E10s O_O"
since the requirements are to have 168 hrs played + completing of sb msq
High chance theyre just alt accounts
yeah
ahh I see! Thanks guys!
does assigning a retainer a healer job affect the items they bring back from explorations? or is it the same as if I gave them a dps job?
combat retainers all bring back the same items
Can you only do 3 beast tribe quests per day
Per tribe, yes.
There's small exceptions where you can do 3 more on rank up but those are the exception
is there any tips for whm's mana management? I'm lv 55, just started to do 8ppl raid and mana drain alot even with just a little spending on dps. My lucid dream is always active midfight when it's cd gone (cuz it's always below 50%)
from about 75-80% mp, use lucid dreaming. use it on CD from that point forward.
stop spamming medica 2
damage is scripted, work around that, never necessary to keep regens up 100%
ty all, but yea, i always use medica 2 when the team got scratch by aoe from boss
it’s not just you nw
Use your ability to heal first
we were all like that at one point xD
Before you use your spell
Is Gridania the only starting city where you get access to a healer job at level 1?
Yes
CNJ, correct?
...I've heard that the first few levels of CNJ are...not particularly fun compared to other starting jobs
All jobs are terrible on the first few levels
you wont stay at those 1st few lvs for long anw
Healer will feel this more because they have fewer damage spells
Arc becomes healer if that counts
So low level healer just press the same spell over and over again to do damage
I mean, compared to other classes where they get more and more offensive skills, cnj is all stone and aero for dot.
I started playing this game for 3 days now, jump right in to cnj to heal my friends
yea, kinda jealous of them when they get new damage spells
The fun in healer is to juggle between many targets (hostile and friendly)
You eventually get to play Yugioh with AST, but I think that isnt until Level 60
You use the proper ability/spell correctly to keep everyone health, while contributing to clearing up enemies
!action Draw
Astrologian comes with card gameplay out of the box
How does Gridania's 1-15 MSQ compare to that of Ul'Dah's
pmuch the same with different names ...
Some people say that picking Gridania as your home city state is a mistake and that you should go with Ul'Dah since the MSQ focuses on that for the majority of the game
Just that the msq is set there more
Doesn't make your character coming from Gridania or Limsa any less significant in the story
I feel like limsa lominsa is the best city for starting the game.. it's eye-pleasing, I probly would enjoy a lot if I start off with the city.
Imo I like having a character from limsa because of of the interations with baderon
And if the difference is that significant, then this is some seriously flawed design and story writing, and would have been rectified long ago
Hell, I vaguely remember the times where a teleport was a lot of money
The MSQ eventually gives you enough money to where teleporting as much as you wish is not an issue anymore
ye dont worry bout teleport fee
Is it better to pick Ul'Dah or Limsa, level to 15 on one job, then go to Gridania to start working with Healer?
They are under the impression that starting city is very significant for story coherence
it honestly is not worth min maxing your starting city like that
some dialogue changes when you're from a different city state anyway
so it doesnt feel too disconnected no matter where you started
Just pretend that your character's parent lived in Uldah
But they moved to Gridania for work
i think there are like, 2 3 instances in msq that acknowledge your starting city ever so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I somehow think that if you choose one of the other starting cities, and then go pick up CNJ at 15, your leveling experience will be better, idk
No
You only level faster because your Conjurer is catching up
It has absolutely nothing to do with different cities
Oh ok
If you picked Gladiator from Uldah, then grab pugilist from Uldah, pugilist will level faster to catch up with your Gladiator
It is not some sort of weird city bonus
You can access the Leveling Roulette as soon as you unlock Sastasha, right?
sastasha and tam tara
Ahh
Are there any healer macros I should make at level 1/early game?
Nah
Oh ok, I was told that instead of clicking in the party finder, I could also use the F1-F8 keys on the keyboard
those are just normal keybinds, not macros tho
I believe the only macro you ever want to use and even that can be unreliable is a rez one
you really do not need a raise macro
Sprint macro helps
I was told that macros have delays between commands and if you try to macro healing skills you'll introduce delays that you wouldnt have while doing it manually
It makes it easier to weave
Which gatherer should I level first? (to make gil) I believe I may or may not have asked this the other day and then disappeared without receiving my answer
you can easily keybind a way to seamlessly swiftcast rez
generally recommended to level them together to save on inventory space
@halcyon radish miner an botanist are both good. you won't make much money anyways
both botanist and miner can make gil, just a matter of knowing what's selling well with those two
ok
I think I'll hold off on the gil grinding until I catch up to MSQ anyways. I just finished Shadowbringers (the quest) today
so i'm on post game finally
how much gil do yo uhave now
240k
you can make decent gil with the gathering classes
that's plenty, there's not much to buy anyways
I want a house.
its just a matter of doing your market research
house is like 5 million+ isnt it?
3mil is lowest price for small plot
Yup
it starts at just under 4
So 4 mil is my goal technically
I'm in a server for tracking houses and stuff and tips on various things, I can check if that has a gil grinding guide rq
or later when I actually plan to do it
I cannot tell you how many times I have seen people make uwu language macros for raising in Crystal.
What is the stats priority for Paladin?
I'll do you one better.
Please do not make raise macros.
@halcyon radish could always raise culinarian to 100 and use your leves on coffee biscuit, it's like 2 millions per 100 leves ish

Yea my friend told me about that @delicate field
but I didn't pry him for details cus I was in stormblood
well there's not much to it lol. it uses 3 ingredients and sells for 6.5k per turn in * 3
I imagine people shouldnt make raise macros because it clogs the party chat so more important information can't get through?
that plus it's annoying and embarrassing knightshade lol
So paladin tanking don't have stats contribute to threat?
you just turn on tank stance and generate 10x threat
Ah, so you too have seen your fair share of UwU language raise macros?
I feel your pain
ok I'm just used to WoW 10 years ago, that threat generation with stats lol
WoW doesn't even have that anymore afaik
yeah I dont know about WoW anymore now. long gone haven't touch that game 10 years
When does Paladin start getting spicy instead of just Throw Shield/Provoke, GG?
I went to DRK for that reason
Is paladin the baby tank?
In terms of what?
Like easy tanking
Warrior has the easiest overall rotation
What exactly is the definition of a trap party, anyway?
After that I’d say DRK is pretty easy but has more oGCD management
What is the advantage of PLD?
basically a party that advertises itself at a certain point in the fight, but doesn't actually get to that point or doesn't get to that point consistently
Least gimmicky invuln, I suppose
like for instance a group that says its a clear party, but people obviously don't know what they're doing/constantly wiping to dumb stuff would be considered a trap party
tl;dr clear/farm party who keeps wiping due to failing mechanics
If i'm a healer, can I transmog clothes from other classes?
you can only glamour gear that you can wear as that job
if you can equip it as a healer yes
aaww... I would love to wear magical dps clothes uwu
Do the DPS LBs all do a bunch of damage or are some of them more quirky?
all dps limit breaks are damage
Identical within their role
Melee is single target, Ranged is a line, Caster is a circle
Oh, I thought one of the DPS LBs would apply a really potent DoT or something like that
that would lean too hard into the "required to bring" game shtick they want to avoid
because if that happened, it would either be meta or completely useless
Oh, and I found another situation where Tank LB would be useful outside of Alexander and SoS; If someone screws up meteor placement in Proto Ozma, then the caller will call "Overload", then the tanks will pop LB so not as many people die due to poor meteor placement.
I just remembered that.
isnt dark knight kind of that
i mean hell every tank is similar
Fun/exciting
that
afaik knight played pld till like level 50
at that point you dont even have access to the magical rotation
I found DRK even more boring until 80 since you don't get good buttons until 70 and you don't have your complete kit until 72
Yeah, I got really bored with PLD even at 50
so I switched
When do tomestone reqs for gear exchange get reduced? Is it like a couple months before the expansion or does it happen sooner?
tomestone costs usually stay the same until the next expansion drops
then they're converted into the existing poetics prices
do they increase the amount of the latest version we can get to 2000 before then? Seem to remember something getting changed and making it easier
however, the weekly tomestone limit is doubled towards the tail end of the patches before the next expansion drops
so you can get up to 900 a week instead of 450
oh just 900, ok
If you're recording FF14 for something like lore videos or gameplay, is it better to:
A) Record a little bit, write a script, make a video, then play a little more, rinse and repeat
B) Record in hour batches, then go in and edit?
id say figure out the topic first, grab the footage, then edit away
do we have any idea what the minimum ilvl of the next raid dungeon of Nier is gonna be?
Wow, not a half bad idea, so that way I can have a healthy recording schedule
Can you have a separate Message Book for both your FC room and House?
i495 @gusty hare
What even is a Message Book?
Hey, I came back for Endwalker and need to get through Shadowbringers. Got everything caught up to the first MSQ for Shadowbringers. Is 400 ilvl enough to get through the MSQ and dungeons?
MSQ will give you gear, so dw about it
Yeah, and at 80, they can get Exarchic gear fairly cheaply
Oh okay, that works. I've been debating leveling a gunbreaker instead of using my red mage, but was worried about gear requirements
How much gil do you have?
About 5mil

You can get a full set of gear for about a million gil, give or take
Depends on the marketboard and supply but it should be fairly easy to get some
What I reccommend you do is go buy Exarchic Gear for your class that you want to play ShB with when you eventually hit 80, because IIRC, Wymez told me that Exarchic Gear would be going up in price a few weeks ago, Idk why
but buy it as soon as you can
hes not at 80 yet tho, think he's still 70
I guess I will go buy a full set of GNB Exarch then. My RDM is 70, I just unlocked GNB
I THINK he can buy it ahead of time though, right?
yes, but why would he until he's actually 80?
You'll be able to trade in Exarchic for near item level cap gear in like, two days. Demand will definitely be shooting up for a good few weeks.
To save on Gil
i mean its sound advice but not for where hes at
I appreciate the advice regardless. Gonna go grind heaven on high on my GNB once I hit 61
And I imagine the near item level cap gear will be very nice to have for EW Launch?
thanks mate
More or less. You can use it to farm revelation which when augmented is 530 and it's also item level cap for the expansion
That's correct, but party finders will default to 520, at least that's what I've seen based on previous patches
Fun. I hear this can be fixed by re-installing. Is there a force-recheck the game files option in the launcher somewhere or an alternative option?
do you get the dungeon poetics rewards from running a dungeon unsynced?
is the bozjan and the bozjan raid gear worth to farm for? o.o
no, you only get first timer bonus @midnight lion
Is there a way to switch betwern controller and keyboard mode?
Like mid fight
Not within the menu
dammit, though I guess that would stop people from farming specific dungeons (eg. ARF) unsynced to get tomes
bozja is fun if you like faster-paced fights, but the current gear from there isn't as good as the crafted set for raiding
also can level 71+ classes in there
i see
thank you xD
I'm going to assume my only option is to reinstall the game
I don’t play PC so I can’t tell you exactly. :/
😦 oh well, thanks anyways.
do you have the eulmore house of splendors unlocked
5.5 you'll be able to have augmented exarchic gear?
Yes
how much will it cost to upgrade cryptlurker with nuts?
2000 for right side, 3000 for left side of gearset
does someone know glitch housing ?

Can you have a separate Message Book for both your FC room and House?
Can't say for sure, never bothered with a personal room for my FC house.
I believe they are tied to the instance they're placed in
I’m not sure if message books can be placed in fc private rooms but I’m not seeing anything saying that they can’t
The item description says “one per estate” but that’s ambiguous re: whether it can be put in an FC room too.
I know they can be put in apartments though
There’s no other item I’m aware of that is limited in such a way, so my assumption is that you can do it
the wiki says "A message book can be placed in a free company estate, private estate, or an apartment." but try it out
But I’m not 100%
Hello, I’m trying to figure out the best possible hot bar for my bard. I can’t seem to figure it out properly. Can someone send me what there hotbar looks like 🙂
Does this "Gaius'van'baelsar's plumage will be ready for change in 6 hours."
mean the the color will change in 6 hours?
Because normally it says it's beginning to show new feathers
or whatever
yeah the feathers are changing message
As long as you have comfortable keybinds for your hands and can easily keep track of your cooldowns then anything can work. I suggest looking in #protips-and-ui for inspiration on what others do and ask in there
I didn't get that this time
Common keybinds used for the hotbars are 12345QERFZXCV
6TGB are possible, but can be a stretch to use depending on hand/keyboard size
I'm playing whm lv55, but i don't have any skill above lv50 (got only afflatus solace). There seem to be no more job quest to do, is it that I have to complete heavensward or something like that first?
You must reach Heavensward before the level 50–60 job quests become available.
For WHM in particular, you'll need to be about level 53-54 in the story to fully complete it
due to where the job quests take you
aightt. ty!
