#

Do second chance points for Khloe's book reset to 9 on the weekly reset or do they stay at whatever you've used?

remote lintel
#

@fallen niche shb hunt trains

boreal storm
#

Starter job skills will go to default positions when you get your job upgrade, but expansion job are exempt from that

fallen niche
#

I said aside from A/S ranks

remote lintel
#

oh

#

not that i know of

candid ruin
#

about that newest expansion, is it really, really big? compared to main game

heavy sand
remote lintel
#

all expansions are about the same size

jade quartz
#

etc.

candid ruin
#

great, thanks for the answers

#

ohh, and the music is probably as good as in any other ff game right? ;D

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

of course

faint flare
#

Because soken is a fucking god

remote lintel
#

^

#

some of my favorite video game ost in like any game ever

#

but im also a simp for orchestra music

boreal storm
#

You’ll hear some music from the previous games as well

candid ruin
#

well, i played only ff15 ;D

#

never heard of final fantasy games till 2013 or smth haha

remote lintel
#

just know that this is a numbered final fantasy game

#

which means its one of the big boy FF games and not like a spinoff

#

and the devs treat it as such

candid ruin
#

good

#

i was so tired of spinoff's in KH series

#

watched all of them on TV ;D

dire prawn
#

Is 'An End to the Song' the end of 3.3?

jade quartz
dire prawn
#

Oh

wintry chasm
#

End to the Song is right near the end though

dire prawn
#

How far away am I from hitting the end of Heavensward in its entirety

jade quartz
#

two quests after

jade quartz
#

19 quests after Litany of Peace

dire prawn
#

Can I do those 19 quests in this last 2 hours before maint thonk

wintry chasm
#

lol no

dire prawn
#

Fuck

leaden ginkgo
#

Where even is Az La

wintry chasm
#

Azys Ila I assume?

#

HW zone

austere agate
#

What's the best way to recruit people in pf for a noob to savage raiding?

leaden ginkgo
jade quartz
#

"Learning party, going slow, my first time in savage" or something

manic flare
#

how do people get the shark minion

agile laurel
#

Major General? ocean fishing

manic flare
#

is it difficult to obtain?

obsidian patio
#

If you know what baits to use and when for each locale, no.

dire prawn
#

How long are the cutscenes I'm about to watch

#

'Litany of Peace'

agile laurel
#

uh. 15min or so? Iirc?

jade quartz
#

Not as long as like end of ARR stuff

spring crest
#

Hi! I need help with the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding. I rescheduled ours for the following day, but the invitations I can give out still say 4/21 instead of 4/22. Do I need new ones? What do I do?

upper cove
#

Free trial player question. I just got to the end of main HW MSQ. If I continue to push through post HW, including all the blue icon quests, is the exp loss negligible enough for me to continue the free trial?

cloud night
#

Hey, is there some orchestrion roll from ff7 or ff10 ?

remote lintel
#

@upper cove you ideally start stormblood at lvl 60 so yes

leaden ginkgo
#

If I go to higher level areas in gyr abania is the chance for haunting memories increased?

jade quartz
#

No

#

Flat chance.

upper cove
#

@remote lintel noted. I'll probably power through it before I sub. If the exp gain is the same as post ARR then I guess I dont have to worry

warm snow
#

Yeah all expansion patch content gives garbage exp

#

You'll still technically be losing out on exp due to the level cap but not a lot

upper cove
#

Thats good to hear i guess! I'll milk the free trial for what its worth MSQ abd job levels wise before I convert

tropic frigate
#

I'm not sure what I'm missing to unlock the Bojza southern front

upper cove
#

Or whenever my temptation gets the better of me, I got a cash gift for my birthday and was very tempted to just drop it

twilit arch
#

where are you in the main scenario quest @tropic frigate

tropic frigate
#

I finished shadowbringers and I'm at this quest

twilit arch
#

need to progress that then

#

bozja southern front unlock requires you to complete 5.1 msq "Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty"

tropic frigate
#

Ah 5.1 too

devout lichen
#

so if I'm 7 hours ahead of PDT that means maint will be done at 10am for me?

upper cove
#

Its supposed to start in 1.5 hours and lasts 9 hours

jade quartz
#

Maint is scheduled to complete 10 and a half hours from now.

devout lichen
#

yeah that's not too bad, that's noon for me then

#

I miscalculated the times

#

thanks

real hornet
#

do i have to use a joystick for this game even on PC?

wintry chasm
#

You don't have to

#

You can just use KB+M

real hornet
#

oh, my bad. i just saw after i cancled

#

srry

#

which is the best data centre to choose?

#

with good player base?

dire prawn
#

All of them

faint flare
#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
vernal urchin
#

any of them are fine

faint flare
#

Tldr: doesn't matter

real hornet

rough fossil
#

I’m new to tanking and haven’t done any hardcore fights yet (have pretty much only run Aquapolis with my friend) and I am worried about pulling off smooth tank swaps. Should the old tank use Shirk before or after the new tank uses Provoke?

obsidian patio
#

After

#

Before would do nothing

halcyon ivy
#

so i got my chocobo thing from the quest (had to turn in storm seals for it?) but when i try summoning it it says "companion not yet acquired"

#

how tf do i use that chocobo

halcyon ivy
#

i even bought some greens for it ;w;

rough fossil
#

Aighty thanks

modest igloo
#

you need to do the quest "my feisty little chocobo" in south shroud to have it fight with you

delicate field
#

@halcyon ivy greens is to summon is as your companion, not mount it

#

he fights with you when you're not mounted

halcyon ivy
#

im so confused

twilit arch
#

did you use the whistle?

halcyon ivy
#

OH

rough fossil
#

Also, I am playing as GNB and want to make sure I’m doing my rotations right. I have been building up 2 cartridges and then using Gnashing Fang combo when available and otherwise Burst Strike if it’s still on CD. Is this basically correct or should I be doing something else?

shrewd owl
#

thats about how you do it yeah

rough fossil
#

Ok cool

covert berry
#

how much time till maintance?

shrewd owl
#

like 9 minutes

#

!maint

#

damn aight

little swift
#

1 hour

shrewd owl
#

oh

#

shit

little swift
#

9 pm est notpm 8

shrewd owl
#

i thought it would be sooner

hoary kayak
#

you think its gonna finish early?

glass oyster
#

There is a possibility

leaden ginkgo
#

Do housing timers stop during maint?

#

Can you just login & buy one assuming its timer expired during maint?

fading helm
#

how do i register my chocobo

pulsar token
#

Maintenance in 45 min?

little swift
#

Yes

fading helm
#

obsidian patio
#

Wherever your grand company is

fading helm
#

obsidian patio
#

The gold saucer

#

fading helm
#

is there a faster way to get to my mount

#

without having to go to the mount guide and character

open coral
#

Put it on your hotbar.

fading helm
#

rightt

honest anvil
#

what’s that hat?

devout lichen
#

Can you only download the patch once maint is over?

faint flare
#

Download comes up during maintenance

#

Towards the end ish

twilit arch
honest anvil
#

oh and the tattoo?

#

thank you

twilit arch
#

No, the tattoos are gloves from pvp

#

republican...something its the caster set

honest anvil
#

thank you ^^

nova umbra
#

is it possible to get 35 more moogle tomestones in 20 minutes

obsidian patio
#

Definitely not

summer dirge
#

Not unless you have a blue mage party with all the right spells

nova umbra
#

rip, goodbye namazu earrings 😦

#

yeah even with 3 minute runs in aurum vale, I don't think it's possible

rigid summit
#

The crafted gear 510>520 will it be 1 piece for 1 piece or require more?

twilit arch
#

if you exchange the HQ version of it, yes it'll be 1:1

#

if you exchange NQ then no, you'll need more

stable hinge
#

which of the moogle tome items are the hardest to get outside of the event?

open coral
#

Nightmare, probably

#

And the 50 tome orchestrion roll

#

Also you can't get the Falcon or Namazu earrings anywhere else

honest anvil
#

falcon mount and namazu earrings are exclusives afaik

rigid summit
stable hinge
#

?

#

I done goofed

obsidian patio
#

Nightmare is more annoying than hard

stable hinge
#

I thought the falcon was available elsewhere

summer dirge
#

The t-Rex is difficult. Same with all the ARR beast tribe mounts

obsidian patio
#

It pops up in promos every now and then

open coral
#

The Falcon mount (50 tomes) was a reward for a campaign several years ago. It's no longer obtainable anywhere else.

stable hinge
#

Im going to aurum vale speedrun rn

open coral
#

You've got 12 minutes

twilit arch
#

ARR mounts arent really difficult to get. they're mostly just time consuming

stable hinge
#

accounting for ps4 load times

twilit arch
#

t-rex, in addition to nightmare, are going to be rng

stable hinge
#

by my calculations

#

I am fucked

obsidian patio
#

👍

nova umbra
#

t-rex is not that hard tbh

summer dirge
#

That’s why I consider them difficult

nova umbra
#

you get so many coffers in anemos

stable hinge
#

I have 2 t rex whistles from eureka

nova umbra
#

fates are up constantly too

stable hinge
#

they pop up fairly often in lockboxes

nova umbra
#

now if they would only sell the red yeti mount 👀

twilit arch
#

not everyone is lucky with lockboxes 🤷‍♀️

stable hinge
#

eldthurs needs to stay rare

#

for gil reasons

#

when was the last time the falcon was available before this?

twilit arch
#

stromblood when it was initially introduced

obsidian patio
#

I think it was a subscription related thing a year or two ago

stable hinge
twilit arch
#

well actually it was available for the moogle event between 5.0 and 5.1

junior crow
#

do red mages need to flank/be behind the mob for their melee combo?

simple atlas
#

No

junior crow
#

or rather, does it make a difference?

jade quartz
#

No

simple atlas
#

Only Melee has directionals

#

Melee classes

junior crow
#

whew, ive been trying to make sure to be behind this whole time. glad i dont have to worry about it

lament sorrel
#

will the datamine spoiler channel be put up after maint starts?

simple atlas
#

Probably?

jade quartz
#

Only abilities that actually say flank positional/rear positional bonus in the tooltip require you to be in position.

junior crow
#

ah, cool, thank you

lament sorrel
#

thank you

ebon mantle
#

is there a place that tells me how long maintenance will be?

simple atlas
#

9 hours

#

Give or take

ebon mantle
#

okay thank you!

leaden ginkgo
#

Why havent i been kicked out yet?

fickle tree
#

what's harder to get, the tyrannosaur mount or the ultima horns?

toxic glen
#

Takes awhile sometimes, maint doesnt start immediately

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah i see

toxic glen
#

No idea on the difficulty of ultima horns but ik the trex mount is pretty easy to get

leaden ginkgo
#

Op goodbye

honest anvil
#

probably ultima horn

toxic glen
#

Pretty sure ultima horns are a pain to get

twilit arch
#

catching the proto ultima fate can be arguably more annoying than farming anemos lockboxes

fading helm
#

how long is server maintence?

leaden ginkgo
#

Foreva

shrewd owl
#

9 hours

fading helm
#

just got kicked off lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Like 10 hours

stable hinge
#

only managed to get ultima horns since I didnt grind the event

#

worth it though for my sanity

honest anvil
#

do older expacs have their own animal suits? like shb’s toad?

worthy harbor
#

What, you don't like endlessly pulling in the first section of av?

twilit arch
#

HW had the swine outfit

#

can buy that in the gold saucer

stable hinge
toxic glen
cursive burrow
#

how long will the game be down for any idea ?

faint flare
#

9 hours max

cursive burrow
#

is that normal?

faint flare
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

its actually on the shorter side for major patches

slate arrow
#

And since there's no new housing or savage/ultimate fights they're going to just open up if they finish early

leaden ginkgo
#

Weird question but
Will we lose access to ps4 version after we upgrad to ps5 ver.?

viscid fossil
#

That's not what I heard

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean when official ps5 launches

open coral
#

Yes

frozen wind
#

anyone know when the game will be up again?

open coral
#

In 9 hours @frozen wind

frozen wind
#

its 9:14 EST here

open coral
#

6am EST

faint flare
frozen wind
#

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooood

#

I wanted to test out paladin

open coral
#

It's a major patch

leaden ginkgo
#

@open coral what "yes"?

open coral
#

This is just how things are.

faint flare
#

At least its not the typically 24 hours

open coral
leaden ginkgo
#

If i remember correctly

open coral
#

That's how they did things when they did free upgrades from PS3 to PS4

leaden ginkgo
#

When i upgraded to ps4 from ps3

glossy bay
#

How long is this update ???

leaden ginkgo
#

I lpst the access

gloomy mortar
#

I maxed out my desynth skill. What should I do with it?

viscid fossil
#

Question, PS5 only getting the same level of graphic as PC or PC also get upgrade but on UI only?

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

@open coral ok this helps a lot thx

glossy bay
#

9h!!

earnest wraith
#

can we do new Nier raid without doing new msq?

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

So i cant earn plainum trophy on ps4 anymore

twilit arch
#

nier does not have msq requirements

open coral
#

Yes, as long as you've done the other two parts of it.

earnest wraith
#

thanks

gloomy mortar
#

What should I get? The Namazu earring or the 2 orchestrion scrolls? Which are harder to get or expensive to buy?

open coral
#

Namazu earrings don't come from anything else.

glossy bay
#

5.5h actually

open coral
#

It's 9 hours.

#

6pm-3am PDT is 9 hours.

gloomy mortar
#

What about the expensive scroll?

glossy bay
#

Damn it was so excited to play

open coral
#

It's farmable @gloomy mortar

#

O8? I think?

gloomy mortar
#

What is O8?

leaden ginkgo
#

For example

  • im on 70% to platinum trophy on ps4
  • i upgrade to ps5
  • i lose the access to ps4 forever and impossible to complete platinum trophy?
open coral
#

Omega raid, fight 8

gloomy mortar
#

Ah

#

👍

leaden ginkgo
#

Safe to assume it is

#

Lol

fickle tree
faint flare
#

No

gloomy mortar
#

Can you have 2 different maps decifered in your inventory? For ex. One Gazelle and one Zonureskin?

faint flare
#

No

gloomy mortar
#

😮

nocturne void
#

i literally started playing this game today lol, anyone have any idea how long maintenance tends to take? servers down for rest of the night possibly?

faint flare
#

Again

#

9 hours

earnest wraith
#

I think we should make it as pin

faint flare
#

Max

#

Its om the Lodestone

#

You know

#

The news site

nocturne void
gloomy mortar
#

Anytime

honest anvil
#

is there a site i can use to plan mitigation?

faint flare
#

Excel

obsidian patio
obsidian patio
open coral
#

The !maint command will also answer the question

#

!maint

twilit arch
#

doesnt work in here

open coral
#

If you use it in the #kupo-bot-spam channel

twilit arch
#

because people like to use the command in here for themselves

open coral
#

True

gloomy mortar
#

True

little swift
#

and then tehy get upset when we tell them off

flat aspen
#

did they announce when you could download the ps5 version?

gloomy mortar
#

Is there any benefit to preordering Endwalker?

warped nest
#

(or is it June)

#

They won't talk preorder bonuses until they talked about collector editions and open up preorder

earnest wraith
#

limited exp boost item, I guess

warped nest
#

But based on previous experience, yeah, you probably will get an item that boost your exp gain, effective up to lvl 70

faint flare
#

They haven't announced any preorder bonuses yet

twilit arch
#

its may for the digital fanfest

warped nest
#

So probably May then

manic flare
#

is there gonna be a new firmament competition with patch tomorrow?

faint flare
#

No

gloomy mortar
#

No

faint flare
#

Thats 5.51

manic flare
#

so firmament is done?

leaden ginkgo
#

Just double checking, maintenance ends in 8 hours & 24 minutes, right?

faint flare
#

Like always

#

Firmament is done building wise

#

But getting an update for the fetes and celebrations stuff

obsidian hornet
#

So since ffxiv is down for na, I can't do weeklies for this week?

faint flare
#

In a few weeks

#

If you haven't done them yet no

obsidian hornet
#

Darn, didn't think servers would go down so soon.

faint flare
#

Maintenances basically always go over weekly reset

obsidian hornet
#

Alright thanks.

faint flare
#

Its been known for some time

worthy harbor
#

Do updates typically fill the whole time or do they just set aside that time 'just in case'?

strange lintel
#

It depends

#

If there’s a new raid tier it goes to time

leaden ginkgo
#

What time will maintenance be over?

strange lintel
#

If there’s no new raid tier usually it’s up early

faint flare
strange lintel
#

So there’s no new raid tier this time

#

So it’ll likely be up early

modest igloo
#

are there any new patch notes?

faint flare
#

Full notes up later

gloomy mortar
#

@leaden ginkgo 8 hours and 17 mins

faint flare
#

See those ten potency buffs to drg and war

open ember
#

The only 2 instances where maintenance does not end early is (in the expac):

  • Housing
  • New Raid Tier
#

This maintenance can end early

#

Because there's none of that here

gritty wraith
#

so i have to get through most of ShB to get my GNB job gear right? (sitting t 68 and just started the dragonsong war arch so a ways to go just making sure)

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

just need a job at level 60

twilit arch
#

i think they mean the 80 set

faint flare
#

The lv80 job gear

#

Yes

twilit arch
#

so yeah you do

gritty wraith
#

that one yeah, okay. Sucks but what can ya do 🙂

twilit arch
#

you essentially get the lvl 80 job gear at the tail end of 5.0

faint flare
#

Need tank role quests done and Shadowbringers base story basically done

gritty wraith
#

so i still have an expansion and a half to go XD

sour ruin
#

Stat wise though don't worry theres plenty of ways to get good tank gear until then

gritty wraith
#

at least i can start gearing up in Stormblood

#

thanks for the help ❤️

cold forge
#

What time are patches usually able to be downloaded on PC? I know you can download them before maintenance ends.

faint flare
#

Depends whenever it goes up

cold forge
#

so its kinda random

faint flare
#

Usually in the later half

cold forge
#

fair enough

crisp mural
#

Does anyone know what error -24202 means? I tried resubbing and it wont let me

open ember
#

The game is on maintenance rn

open ember
#

Wait till its done before doing anything ff14 related

crisp mural
#

oh i forgot lol

delicate field
#

is it possible to leave the lauuncher open to downlad the patch overnight or something

tawny canopy
#

you have to restart it to get the dload to trigger

#

because the launcher itself will need updating

delicate field
#

oh that's annoying lol

left moth
#

there's a reasonable change launcher/patcher will be modified (barely) so staying logged in launcher probably wont help (since need to manually refresh anyways)

stray carbon
#

when would you say summoners hit their first power spike(like how ninjas only start to come online at 45)

warped nest
#

Lvl 50 and 60

#

!action Dreadwyrm Trance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Dreadwyrm Trance** : lvl 58 SMN (55.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces spell casting time by 2.5 seconds.
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Resets Tri-disaster recast timer
Additional Effect:
Shares a recast timer with Firebird Trance.

stray carbon
#

why level 50

warped nest
#

Oh, nvm, my bad

#

I was under the impression that this is a lvl 50 skill

stray carbon
#

hmm

#

currently at level 31 summoner and its kinda boring

warped nest
#

!action Deathflare

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Deathflare** : lvl 60 SMN (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 400 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Can only be executed while in Dreadwyrm Trance. Dreadwyrm Trance fades upon execution.

warped nest
#

Most jobs are kinda boring before lvl 50

stray carbon
#

ig so

faint flare
#

Summoner is basically filler until Trances and demis

warped nest
#

Your Dreadwyrm Trance (often wrote as DWT) is the cornerstone of your high level rotation

quaint gate
#

Does anyone know the best way to level crafters 70-80 when broke asf?

warped nest
#

Yeah, before DWT, you just keep up your bio and miasma

#

Then do Egi assaults and ruin

stray carbon
#

yeah ig that explains why its boring atm

faint flare
#

Without trances and demis you have no real burst

warped nest
#

Again, most jobs are very incomplete at low levels

#

Samurai for example, imo, doesn't start going until lvl 62

stray carbon
#

ig so

#

its just that i heard tales of how much damage and utility a good summoner can offer and stuff

warped nest
#

If you are interested in healing, you can hop over to Scholar and play Scholar for the time being

faint flare
#

Its just the raise primarily...devotion is ok

warped nest
#

Scholar and Summoner shares level

faint flare
#

If the pet bothers to cast devotion

fading helm
#

i have a question

#

someone said u can pick if u want to be a dark knight at level 30?

stray carbon
#

also whats the joke for dragoons and floor tanking all about

warped nest
#

No, Griz

#

That's incorrect

faint flare
fading helm
#

is that when my gladiator class reaches lv 30 or when im lv 30 in the story

faint flare
#

It unlocks at 50 in ishgard

stray carbon
faint flare
#

You need heavensward story progress

stray carbon
#

which is post arr msqs

fading helm
#

oh

warped nest
#

Dark Knight requires a lvl 50 combat job to unlock, then Dark Knight itself starts at lvl 30

faint flare
stray carbon
#

hmm

fading helm
#

so rn im lvl 30 on my gladiator

#

is there anything i can do?

crisp mural
#

Will these 1 dollar charges get reversed later since i tried to resub during maintenance

faint flare
#

Get paladin

fading helm
#

that i couldnt do before

honest anvil
#

also whats the joke for dragoons and floor tanking all about
@stray carbon sth to do with them jumping off the arena, in the navel in particular

warped nest

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

warped nest
#

So DRG dies left and right from bad Jump and eating AOE

stray carbon
#

then you can pick up the paladin quests

faint flare
#

And slyph management like the faq says

fading helm
#

oh ok

#

thanks

stray carbon
#

rn im just wondering if dragoon or summoner would be more appropriate for heavensward msq

#

dragon slayer vs dragon user

warped nest
#

Barely matters for the actual story

stray carbon
#

ik

warped nest
#

But if you are rping

faint flare
#

Well Dragoon was the poster child

warped nest
#

Then it is up to you

faint flare
#

And gets one tiny line for being a dragoon

fading helm
#

does paladin have a diff move set than gla? or is it like an expansion of gla

faint flare
#

Its the rest of your kit

warped nest
#

Gladiator is a training wheel version of Paladin

fading helm
#

ah

faint flare
#

Gladiator is a baby paladin

#

Same for all classes

#

Classes are baby versions of their job

fading helm
#

i see

#

thanks for the help bcuz i thought it was tied to the msq

warped nest
#

Classes stopped learning skills at lvl 50

faint flare
#

It is in part

warped nest
#

While Jobs are where everything else is acquired

faint flare
#

You need to past slyph management msq

#

For job quests

fading helm
#

slyph management, is that after or before the chocobo one

faint flare
#

After

#

Not too long after

fading helm
#

oh then maybe i havent reached their yet

warped nest
#

It is a lvl 20 msq

#

It can be out of reach

#

But it cannot be missed

manic flare
#

are there going to be firmament FATEs tomorrow?

obsidian patio
#

maybe

#

depends if they start with fetes or with 1-2 cooldown days

sullen lark
#

Wait... Do I need to be caught up for MSQ for either the resistance weapon or the nier raid?

twilit arch
#

nier raid doesn't have msq requirements

sullen lark
#

Okay

obsidian patio
#

Resistance weapon only needs 5.1 MSQ so far

manic flare
#

i thought u needed to do the ivalice raids in order to the nier raids?

twilit arch
#

no

manic flare
#

wait im thinking of bozja

twilit arch
#

and even if you did, ivalice isn't msq

sullen lark
#

5.1? I only started playing around 5.35 EntyHeh

#

Guess I have nothing to worry about then AkagiFluff

manic flare
viscid fossil
#

Nier, Bozja are side contents just ilvl and quest unlock.

manic flare
#

summoner story isn't really related to the main story

#

so in terms of immersion, dragoon might help you understand the story better

gilded crypt
#

what strat does NA use for the memoria ex rotation? clockwise then move back or booking it to the other side?

#

how long does maintenance last

obsidian patio
#

might end a bit earlier than scheduled, but the scheduled end is 3am PDT

earnest wraith
#

hi, if we assume that every exarchic pieces give same amount of gil/tokens then does this mean we require 3 pieces of current exarchic to exchange for 1 augmented exarchic?

obsidian patio
#

no.

#

If you use HQ Exarchic it's 1:1 for the same piece but augmented

earnest wraith
#

ohhh

obsidian patio
#

if you use NQ it's like 3:1 or 4:1

#

each slot gives a slightly different amount of tokens

#

lemme fetch the token amounts for Neo-Ishgardian to use as reference

earnest wraith
#

so assuming that I can just turn in current complete set of hq exarchic for a complete augmented version?

obsidian patio
#

yep

earnest wraith
#

thanks

thin island
#

even weapons?

obsidian patio
#

yep

thin island
#

good bye emerald weapons?

obsidian patio
#

Weapons: 42 Tokens and 7 Rains
Chest/Legs: 42 Tokens and 5 Rains
Head/Arms/Boots: 33 Tokens and 3 Rains
Belt and Accessories: 21 Tokens and 2 Rains

#

Each rain is expected to cost 100 Allegory based on previous trends

#

So if you notice, you can exchange two belts/accessories and get the same amount of tokens as a weapon or chest, which may save you gil compared to buying a weapon and exchanging that

#

and yeah, no point in doing Emerald EX for weapons come 5.5 if you can spare the gil and allegory for Exarchic

thin island
#

means pentamelding the 520 gear will be better than the crypt lurkers eh?

obsidian patio
#

can't pentameld the augmented gear

thin island
#

ohhh

obsidian patio
#

so it's on par with cryptlurker and the new 24-man gear

thin island
#

ahhh thanks

#

good to know

noble pollen
#

Ff14 comes back on at what time?

obsidian patio
#

about 6.5 hours from now

#

probably earlier since there's no need for them to release the patch at exactly the end time this time around

#

so maybe like 5.5-6 hours

noble pollen
#

Thanks, i have some dailies i want to do

do you guys think that we would need to be rank 25 to complete the endgame relic?

Is this laptop good enough to run the game? At least looking for solid 30fps, I recently bought a hp 15-gw0008ca and it sucks dink.

How long into maint normally are the final patch notes or is it just randomly released?

slate arrow

If you want to run the game you should look for a laptop with a graphics card rather than just buying an integrated GPU

obsidian patio

full patch notes usually come up in the first half

obsidian patio
#

so we got another hour or so at most before they hopefully come out

Even if it's vega graphics cores it's still an integrated graphics card

Hey guys when did maintenance start and when does it end? I don't know how to check the dates

obsidian patio
#

started 3 hours and 15 minutes ago, and is planned to end in 5 hours and 45 minutes.

#

though it may end earlier since there's no content in this patch that demands waiting until the scheduled end

#

like a new raid tier or housing

fading aurora
#

Aww I started the game today and had to take a break cuz of work for a little so I'm kinda sad it's in maintenance

#

hi , just wonder , will this mount be in mogstation or i can exchange it or get it from raid , dungeons ?

sour ruin
#

That is when servers will be back by griz

fading helm
#

oh

twilit arch
#

its from getting all of the gwiber mounts from the shadowbringers extreme trials

sour ruin
#

But yes the patch will be fully out by then

obsidian patio
#

Mogstation-exclusive items are not mentioned in patch notes and get their own lodestone news

fading helm
#

how long usually are these updates

#

like u think itll be before than?

obsidian patio
#

this is on the shorter end for main patch updates, they're usually 24-hours

#

and this one can be expected to end earlier since there's no "major" content in it, like savage raids or housing

flint kernel
#

😦 extreme .. , then i will get it some day i hope

tawny canopy
#

extremes are pretty easy this tier

leaden ginkgo
#

^ Especially with current gear and echo bonus

tawny canopy
#

none of them have been particularly difficult

warped nest
#

(the more current) EX are slightly more punishing

#

Generally speaking, you just need to be more attentive to the mechanics

#

And you should be fine

storm cosmos
#

is there an option aside from manual macros to prevent emotes from being shown in chat?

leaden ginkgo
#

Your own ones?

storm cosmos
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Should be a toggle in the emote menu

#

Lower right corner

storm cosmos
#

oh wow really I must be blind

#

thanks I'll check it out when maint. ends

flint kernel
#

i just tried out my friend dragoon for the 1st time , end up bounced off the area because of his jump skill , i really like to play this class because of the cool weapon

shut pecan
#

They've done this crafted DoW/DoM gear augmentation thing in past expansions, but I forget how you get the tokens to do it. Anyone know what they'll come from?

obsidian patio
#

you turn in the crafted gear to become the tokens

#

it's a 1:1 exchange if you use HQ gear, if you use NQ it's closer to 3:1 or 4:1

warped nest
#

It's 3:1

Is there any PvP preperations I should make for when EW drops its new smallscale PVP mode?

warped nest
#

Practice PvP?

obsidian patio
cursive abyss
#

Does PvP use its own gear system?

warped nest
#

No matter how it works actually, PvP skills and rotation won't change on a fundamental level

obsidian patio
#

PVP uses standardized stats/skills

warped nest
#

Nope, all stat are standardized on pvp

obsidian patio
#

no gearing at all is needed

ivory jolt
#

I’m a new player and I really don’t know what I should be doing

warped nest
#

You can go in naked if you want to

cursive abyss
warped nest
#

The mentors can talk to players in the Novice Network

obsidian patio
#

you really only need 1-2 hotbars for PVP due to the smaller skill amount

warped nest
#

@cursive abyss make sure you can use most skills, if not all of them, while moving around

#

That's probably it for your hotbar

twilit arch
#

basically go to wolves' den

#

and set up your pvp hotbars

ivory jolt
#

Oh ok so just go through all the MSQ FIRST

warped nest
#

@ivory jolt to answer your question my way. OK, the mentor thingy is not gonna help you every single step on your journey. A the mentor status is not a guranteed seal that this player knows what they are talking about

#

B the game will slowly introduce you to new concepts and gameplay mechanics.

#

C if you ever have any doubts or questions, just ask here

ivory jolt
#

Ok gotcha

#

Thx

cursive abyss
# ivory jolt Ok gotcha

You dont have to do this for your first playthrough, but you may wish to pick up a crafting job alongside a combat job because crafting unlocks a lot of side content that I couldnt do because I neglected crafting my first MSQ Playthrough.

warped nest
#

Crafting is highly optional

cursive abyss
#

Yeah

ivory jolt
#

Ok

warped nest
#

But it is helpful in making gils (money) and acquiring resources for various optional side activities (like Anima weapons)

#

You will have enough gils for basic expenses

#

You only need more if you want to make or buy fancy glowing weapons for fashion

cursive abyss
ivory jolt
#

Yea this game is massive lol but I’ll do my best to understand what the hell is going on

warped nest
#

Most important info I can give to a new player is, there is no way to make permanent mistake in this game

#

So don't be too worry about doing stuff optimally

cursive abyss
#

Yeah, you can try to do stuff more optimally on an alt on your second playthrough, feel free to experiment as much as you wish for this one

wary creek
#

i have a question, does anyone know what i need to play the nier raid?

warped nest
#

In case you were familiar with games where character has stat growth, for example, a Mage character will gain Mage related stat faster.

This is not how stat works in XIV. All your stat comes from your equipment. So you can be a Mage, tank, or a melee dps on one character.

#

@wary creek reaching lvl 80

#

The starting quest is in Tomra

wary creek
#

thanks<3<3<3

cursive abyss
#

Are there mounts locked behind the crafting beast tribe quests?

honest anvil
#

yes

#

all of them have mounts

signal aspen
#

how long until maint is over?

warped nest
#

Soon ish

remote lintel
#

like 3 hours?

ivory jolt
#

So what’s the difference between a tank and a mele build?????🤔🤔🤔

warped nest
#

There is no build

remote lintel
#

??

warped nest
#

Only Jobs

remote lintel
#

tanks are tanks

#

melee are melee

warped nest
#

Tank has additional skills to help them manage aggro (called emnity in XIV) and to soak up damages, their resource management and damage skills are relatively simpler

#

Melee DPS juggle resources to do more damage

ivory jolt
#

👍

warped nest
#

Your character change to different jobs by changing weapons

#

There is no way to do mix build

#

Or make unorthodox builds like an evade tank

#

The endgame here leans more toward coordinating with other players to solve difficult mechanicals

#

Regarding stat (and builds) in endgame, it is pretty straightforward. Just go with gears with maximum primary stat, and optimize secondary stat by melding materia

#

But these are only important when you actually get there

#

Before you get there, just enjoy the game, and play it like a single player RPG, with co-op dungeon

soft tundra
#

I'm getting a weird error when I try to login to preload the patch. Says "version information is not consistent between FFXIV Boot, Updater, and Launcher"
Haven't touched anything, recent or otherwise. Anyone have anything to try before I just reinstall?

game is under maint

#

so that's probably why

leaden ginkgo
#

Any clue if the patch is live on ps4 yet?

soft tundra
#

Oh, looks like someone else just had same error in main discussion too

honest anvil
#

even if not then it's probably better to wait til after maint to troubleshoot

worthy basin
#

is it just me or the patch is downloadable now?

soft tundra
#

Some people seem to be able to download now, even PS5 beta users. Maybe a symptom of everyone trying to dl or something?

i wonder if i should just stick to ps4 version

since ps5 is a beta might have a lot of bugs

jolly sorrel

Also @languid hollow , in this game you're allowed to level both a gladiator -and- a conjurer on the same character. Should you feel like switching around sometimes.

and you could do some sneaky enemy avoiding to get from one to the other

whereas limsa is the only one that is isolated

Still, that's some hoops to jump through..

warm snow
#

you cannot change classes until you finish the level 10 job quest of your starter class

little swift

so lv10 would be the earliest you could swap to another city job

warm snow
#

it's piss easy but still a restriction worth mentioning

little swift
#

but not to marauder/arcanist/rogue

that would be where tsuya is mentioning is necessary to reach in the msq

i wish i chose dragoon as my starting class

it looks so cool

You can still go to Dragoon

#

just level it

well choose it now

it still looks cool now

and you can keep playing through the msq on dragoon

you can get to lvl 15 in about an hour

stiff cloak
#

I can level something to level 20 in 30 minutes

#

ok maybe not 30 minutes

#

but less than 2 hours

warm snow
#

Easy 1-15 from doing job quests and hunting log

fading helm
#

im lvl 9 on black mage which i just picked up

lv15 in 20 minutes is definitely doable

but it requires a friend

fading helm
#

it took me like an hour to get to lv 9

warm snow
#
  • brand new ring + that levelling circlet if you have a recommendation code + armory exp
#

Yeah ez

glossy flare
#

yeah but that was probably via msq

now that you have a higher job any job below that is faster

@fading helm press H. You can see your hunting log, which give a ton of exp from levels 1-20

What do you mean?

you can just use glamor prisms

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

tl;dr: makes your armour look like some other armour

fading helm
#

ohh like armor of a different class

stiff cloak
#

essentially they're an item that allows for any piece of gear look like another piece of gear

#

well no

glossy flare
#

no, not of a different class

#

it has to be armour you could in theory actually wear

stiff cloak
#

you can't glam a healer piece of gear to look like a tank

vague shore
#

what means if a gear is dyable or not

stiff cloak
#

well

fading helm
#

then what is it i dont get it

stiff cloak
#

if you can dye it or not

#

@fading helm basically, if you can equip it as your current job, then you can glam it

glossy flare
# fading helm then what is it i dont get it

Well let's say you have the best armour in the game. But it looks like shit. You hate that. But you really loved that armour you had on when you were lvl 43. Bing bang boom, you can make your fancy endgame armour look like that lvl 43 armour

fading helm
#

ohhh ok i get what u mean

stiff cloak
#

For dragoon, you can glam it to look like any disciple or war specific armor or armor that says "any class"

glossy flare
#

So if you don't like the look of the dragoon job gear that's not much of an issue

fading helm
#

i like gladiator but its a biiit boring to play

glossy flare
#

don't have to be so pointy

stiff cloak
#

That's why you have a lot of armor items that are level 1. They're just outfits people glamour to.

glossy flare
#

well to be fair you are lvl 20

#

most jobs are pretty slow until lvl 60 or so

stiff cloak
#

All classes are boring at the beginning

#

other than like

#

GNB or DNC

#

which start at 60

fading helm
#

yeah and i forgot i can do dark knight

#

i really like the armor they have

leaden ginkgo
#

doing your hunt log for the different classes is a decent way to level early on

glossy flare
#

gladiator and dark knight use the same armour

#

aside from their job specific sets

stiff cloak
#

For most melee jobs, until around lvl 65 you're just spamming your 1-2-3 combo

fading helm
#

yeah i meant the job specific ones

#

whats it like after that? lol

open ember
#

Took a nap, is the patch available to be downloaded or no

glossy flare
#

if you plan to do dark knight then I would recommend sticking with gladiator for now though

stiff cloak
#

Well

fading helm
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

it is yeah

open ember
#

Okay thank you

glossy flare
#

because both are tanks and it's best to be eased in from lvl 1

stiff cloak
#

In order to unlock Dark Knight you have to first finish the base 1-50 game

dire prawn
#

That too

#

DRK is locked behind entering Ishgard

fading helm
#

can u get any fantasia through the game

#

or only to buy it

stiff cloak
#

you get 1

leaden ginkgo
#

you get 1 yeah

stiff cloak
#

after lvl 50

#

unless you're like me who skipped the 2nd half of arr

glossy flare
#

the final 2.0 msq has one as a quest reward

#

that's the only one you can get outside of buying one with cash

fading helm
#

i just picked thje regular human character

#

You get a free Fantasia when you complete 'The Ultima Weapon' MSQ

fading helm
#

kinda wanna try the really tall one with the horns

join the au'ra supremacy

that is the usual dark knight race, yes

then gnb

actually drk, though I'm thinking of switching to gnb

which one is gnb again

leaden ginkgo
#

drk used to be my go-to tank

glossy flare
#

Gunbreaker

leaden ginkgo
#

but gnb just hit the spot better

stiff cloak
#

Gunbreaker

glossy flare
#

I'm going to wait until EW though, see what they do with all the jobs

fading helm
#

ive never seen that

stiff cloak
#

Gunbreaker is a wannabe dps player that has to play tank for the sake of their static

fading helm
#

i think its cuz gunbreaker is not in free trial lol

stiff cloak
#

and they like to shoot themselves in the head

glossy flare
leaden ginkgo
#

nah it aint

#

gnb is a shadowbringers class

dire prawn
#

SAM, RDM, GNB and DNC aren't free trial

#

SAM and RDM are Stormblood jobs while GNB and DNC are Shadowbringers jobs

stiff cloak
#

But Griz to answer your question on how jobs change after like lvl 60

#

usually jobs get one specific ability that completely changes the playstyle

#

for BLM it's enochian

#

for DRK it's bloodspiller and delirium

dire prawn
#

For WAR it's Inner Release

glossy flare
little swift
#

delirium isn't really a game changer

#

dark knight is on a 60s rotation

#

not a 90

stiff cloak
#

Well it's the biggest single change for DRK

glossy flare
#

tbh, drk is more shaped by tbn

#

which is a lvl 70 skill

languid hollow
#

dancer looks pretty cool

leaden ginkgo
#

dancer is a really fun job

dire prawn
#

Because it is

stiff cloak
#

fitting 5 bloodspillers into delirium is like

#

the most important thing late game

little swift
#

no

#

5 gcds in blood weapon matters more

stiff cloak
#

is it?

#

I mean

#

lets say you get 4 gcds into delirium and 4 gcds into blood weapon

little swift
#

you play on 60s burst windows more than the delirium spam

#

4 gcds in delirium is only 800 mana

#

a 200 mp loss

#

4 gcds in bw is 2400 mana

#

a 600 mp loss

#

thats the difference of 3 ticks of mana gain

glossy flare
#

keep in mind that edge of shadow is 500 potency too

little swift
#

and an edge

glossy flare
#

and an ogcd

#

tons of "free" dmg

little swift
#

every 5 bw you do that

#

you lose 1 edge

#

whereas every 5 deliriums you miss you only lose 1/3 of an edge

stiff cloak
#

I mean, if you don't get 5 bloodspillers into delirium, then you just lose like 500 potency right?

little swift
#

taken from the log of a dark knight mentor on the balance

#

the big spikes of burst are every minute

#

here are all the edges filtered in

#

relatively uniform on the burst windows

#

i'm not saying here that losing a bloodspiller isn't significant

#

500 pot loss and 200mp is still pretty important and adds up over time

#

but the edges you can put out with the additional mana gain inside raidbuffs is something you should consider

stiff cloak
#

hm

little swift
#

the realistic only 90s tank is warrior

#

dark knight is more of a 60s tank with 90s additional stuffs

#

in the form of delirium and salted earth

deep gyro
#

for speed leveling a second class on an alt from 60-70 would heaven on high be the fastest way? i haven't leveled anything from 60 on my main since shb release so i forgot if the leveling dungeons are faster on odd levels or not

glossy flare
#

dungeons are faster if you can guarantee fast queue times

obsidian patio
#

Leveling dungeons are faster if you have good queues

deep gyro
#

i thought so

#

there was someone i asked earlier who was adamant that hoh was faster

little swift
#

fill the waiting bits in with fates/beast tribes too

#

hoh is more mind numbing

deep gyro
#

well it's gonna be gunbreaker so queue times are fine

jaunty mason
#

is it ok to download the patch even tho the server is still down?

#

or should i just wait for it to finish?

vital ruin
#

How long does a maintenance usually last

stiff cloak
#

They usually end like

#

an hour early

#

so in 1 hour

#

you can probably log on

obsidian patio
vital ruin
#

I c

tender ice
#

is 5.5 out?

obsidian patio
#

Soon

#

Just the patch download

#

The game itself is still down

leaden ginkgo
#

Ehh I've never paid attention to patch release timings, is it really common for them to open the servers a hour early?

obsidian patio
#

Depends on what the patch has

shut panther
#

Depends on patch type, but yes

obsidian patio
#

If it has major content like a raid tier or housing then it never opens early intentionally

leaden ginkgo
#

Ehh so do you think its likely to open early this time?

#

Because new Ex/Unreal etc.

tender ice
#

this is my first patch, cant wait to go into the new stuff blind and no one knows what to do

little swift
#

ex unreal aren't really significant raid content so it could still finish early

shut panther
#

Ex and unreal aren't competitive content

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm okay, tysvm

tidal yarrow
#

is the update available to download yet?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

glossy flare
#

it is

tidal yarrow
#

nice ty

tender ice
#

when did maintenance start|?

#

thank you

shut panther
#

Basically, square sets maintenance schedule as worst case scenario

obsidian patio
shut panther
#

If there's time sensitive content like housing release or world first racing

#

They stick to it

#

Other than that it's generally earlier than they expect

tender ice
#

oh god, does it take ages to get into the game when they come back on

#

cos queues

slate arrow
#

nah.

obsidian patio
#

If you try to get in immediately then yeah

slate arrow
#

Maybe like, 5 minutes at worse.

obsidian patio
#

But queues calm down pretty fast past the first hour of a new patch

slate arrow
#

You know those world record people in minecraft server videos?

#

That's what would happen if they let everyone connect at once.

#

Crashes everywhere.

tidal yarrow
#

is there a patch notes?

tidal yarrow
#

thank you

faint jetty
#

how much is the 5.5 download size?

tender ice
#

looks like 5GB on PC

obsidian patio
#

5.8gb IIRC

#

i know the games not up,but i maxed my crafters yesterday and how do you get the recipes for Tsukuyomi weapons and as such

mental oracle
#

does dark knight have a counter for tank buster?

leaden ginkgo
mental oracle
#

oh

shrewd owl
#

!skill the blackest night

zinc orbitBOT
#
**The Blackest Night** : lvl 70 DRK (3000 MP) (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow

warped nest
#

What happen here is

#

When your TBN soaks up enough damage

#

It will give you a buff to spend

#

See Dark Art in the description above

glossy flare
#

I mean it's not the only reaction drk has for tankbusters, just the most prominent one because you can translate it into dmg.

warped nest
#

Edge/Flood of Shadow has the exact same cost as TBN

#

And a good TBN give Dark Art, which makes your next Edge/Flood free

slate arrow
mental oracle
#

Does paladin have something similar against tank buster?

warped nest
#

So in short, what happen is, if you do a very good tbn, the 3000 MP you spent becomes very efficient, as it is used to absorb damage as TBN, and then it leads to a free Edge/Flood

#

!action Sheltron

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Sheltron** : lvl 35 PLD (50 Oath Gauge) (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Block incoming attacks.
Duration: 6 s
Oath Gauge Cost: 50

mental oracle
#

oh and the 50% damage reduction boost also I guess

slate arrow
shut panther
glossy flare
#

all the tanks have an on demand mitigation ability that is on a short cooldown

shut panther
#

Thank you autocorrect I definitely meant dog when I typed doh

slate arrow
#

It's not as useful as it sounds since all it does is let you craft new cosmetics the patch it's introduced ASAP

glossy flare
#

Though sheltron is probably the weakest of them all

warped nest
#

Warrior's is Shake it off, and I believe Heart of Stone is the Gunbreaker one

#

I think

glossy flare
#

no, warrior is nascent or raw intuition

#

shake it off is the party barrier

shut panther
#

Warrior's is raw intuition, which you should basically not use after you get nascent.

warped nest
#

Ah, my bad

little swift
#

well

#

its not that you shouldn't use it

#

RI is still plenty useful

slate arrow
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yes

little swift
#

its just if it won't outright kill you flash is the better choice

leaden ginkgo
#

ic,thank you

shut panther
#

It's.. situational as all hell. Anything that wouldn't kill you

#

Which is why the word "basically"is there

warped nest
#

You talk to a NPC in Ishgard (The Foundation) to get a specialist soul thingy

little swift
#

and tapping it for shake raidwide is also free as well

#

less of an investment for 2% more

warped nest
#

Anyway, bringing it back to DRK

#

The short version is, DRK's The Blackest Night is very good when used correctly

#

It is a two for one: eats damage, and "recycle" the MP to cast damage abilities (which also keep up your buff)

#

!action Edge of Shadow

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Edge of Shadow** : lvl 74 DRK (3000 MP) (2.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 500.
Additional Effect: Grants Darkside, increasing damage dealt by 10%
Duration: 30s
Extends Darkside duration by 30s to a maximum of 60s.
Shares a recast timer with Flood of Shadow.
