@fallen niche shb hunt trains
Starter job skills will go to default positions when you get your job upgrade, but expansion job are exempt from that
They stay the same
I said aside from A/S ranks
about that newest expansion, is it really, really big? compared to main game
tyty
all expansions are about the same size
/hotbar copy gld 1 pld 1
etc.
great, thanks for the answers
ohh, and the music is probably as good as in any other ff game right? ;D
Yes
of course
Because soken is a fucking god
^
some of my favorite video game ost in like any game ever
but im also a simp for orchestra music
You’ll hear some music from the previous games as well
well, i played only ff15 ;D
never heard of final fantasy games till 2013 or smth haha
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
Is 'An End to the Song' the end of 3.3?
no, "Litany of Peace" is
Oh
End to the Song is right near the end though
How far away am I from hitting the end of Heavensward in its entirety
two quests after
like, two patches
19 quests after Litany of Peace
Can I do those 19 quests in this last 2 hours before maint 
lol no
Fuck
What's the best way to recruit people in pf for a noob to savage raiding?
Yeah thats what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure..

"Learning party, going slow, my first time in savage" or something
how do people get the shark minion
Major General? ocean fishing
is it difficult to obtain?
If you know what baits to use and when for each locale, no.
uh. 15min or so? Iirc?
Not as long as like end of ARR stuff
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?
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?
Hey, is there some orchestrion roll from ff7 or ff10 ?
@upper cove you ideally start stormblood at lvl 60 so yes
If I go to higher level areas in gyr abania is the chance for haunting memories increased?
@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
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
Thats good to hear i guess! I'll milk the free trial for what its worth MSQ abd job levels wise before I convert
I'm not sure what I'm missing to unlock the Bojza southern front
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
where are you in the main scenario quest @tropic frigate
I finished shadowbringers and I'm at this quest
need to progress that then
bozja southern front unlock requires you to complete 5.1 msq "Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty"
Ah 5.1 too

so if I'm 7 hours ahead of PDT that means maint will be done at 10am for me?
Its supposed to start in 1.5 hours and lasts 9 hours
Maint is scheduled to complete 10 and a half hours from now.
yeah that's not too bad, that's noon for me then
I miscalculated the times
thanks
do i have to use a joystick for this game even on PC?
oh, my bad. i just saw after i cancled
srry
which is the best data centre to choose?
with good player base?
All of them
!faq worldpick
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)
any of them are fine
Tldr: doesn't matter
ty
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?
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
its under mounts
i even bought some greens for it ;w;
Aighty thanks
you need to do the quest "my feisty little chocobo" in south shroud to have it fight with you
@halcyon ivy greens is to summon is as your companion, not mount it
he fights with you when you're not mounted
did you use the whistle?
OH
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?
thats about how you do it yeah
Ok cool
how much time till maintance?
1 hour
9 pm est notpm 8
i thought it would be sooner
you think its gonna finish early?
There is a possibility
Do housing timers stop during maint?
Can you just login & buy one assuming its timer expired during maint?
how do i register my chocobo
Maintenance in 45 min?
Yes
is it in gridania?
Wherever your grand company is
sorry i mean register for chocobo racing
ohh

is there a faster way to get to my mount
without having to go to the mount guide and character
Put it on your hotbar.
rightt
what’s that hat?
Can you only download the patch once maint is over?
warg, from grand cosmos
thank you ^^
is it possible to get 35 more moogle tomestones in 20 minutes
Definitely not
Not unless you have a blue mage party with all the right spells
rip, goodbye namazu earrings 😦
yeah even with 3 minute runs in aurum vale, I don't think it's possible
The crafted gear 510>520 will it be 1 piece for 1 piece or require more?
if you exchange the HQ version of it, yes it'll be 1:1
if you exchange NQ then no, you'll need more
which of the moogle tome items are the hardest to get outside of the event?
Nightmare, probably
And the 50 tome orchestrion roll
Also you can't get the Falcon or Namazu earrings anywhere else
falcon mount and namazu earrings are exclusives afaik
Alright cool I have hq. Thanks
Nightmare is more annoying than hard
I thought the falcon was available elsewhere
The t-Rex is difficult. Same with all the ARR beast tribe mounts
It pops up in promos every now and then
The Falcon mount (50 tomes) was a reward for a campaign several years ago. It's no longer obtainable anywhere else.
Im going to aurum vale speedrun rn
You've got 12 minutes
ARR mounts arent really difficult to get. they're mostly just time consuming
accounting for ps4 load times
t-rex, in addition to nightmare, are going to be rng
👍
t-rex is not that hard tbh
That’s why I consider them difficult
you get so many coffers in anemos
I have 2 t rex whistles from eureka
fates are up constantly too
they pop up fairly often in lockboxes
now if they would only sell the red yeti mount 👀
not everyone is lucky with lockboxes 🤷♀️
eldthurs needs to stay rare
for gil reasons
when was the last time the falcon was available before this?
stromblood when it was initially introduced
I think it was a subscription related thing a year or two ago

well actually it was available for the moogle event between 5.0 and 5.1
do red mages need to flank/be behind the mob for their melee combo?
No
or rather, does it make a difference?
No
whew, ive been trying to make sure to be behind this whole time. glad i dont have to worry about it
will the datamine spoiler channel be put up after maint starts?
Probably?
Only abilities that actually say flank positional/rear positional bonus in the tooltip require you to be in position.
ah, cool, thank you
thank you
is there a place that tells me how long maintenance will be?
okay thank you!
Why havent i been kicked out yet?
what's harder to get, the tyrannosaur mount or the ultima horns?
Takes awhile sometimes, maint doesnt start immediately
Ah i see
No idea on the difficulty of ultima horns but ik the trex mount is pretty easy to get
Op goodbye
probably ultima horn
Pretty sure ultima horns are a pain to get
catching the proto ultima fate can be arguably more annoying than farming anemos lockboxes
how long is server maintence?
Foreva
9 hours
just got kicked off lol
Like 10 hours
only managed to get ultima horns since I didnt grind the event
worth it though for my sanity
do older expacs have their own animal suits? like shb’s toad?
What, you don't like endlessly pulling in the first section of av?
Not for 4 tomes per run xD
That's the worst part though after that it should be smooth sailing
how long will the game be down for any idea ?
9 hours max
is that normal?
Yes
its actually on the shorter side for major patches
And since there's no new housing or savage/ultimate fights they're going to just open up if they finish early
Weird question but
Will we lose access to ps4 version after we upgrad to ps5 ver.?
That's not what I heard
I mean when official ps5 launches
Yes
anyone know when the game will be up again?
In 9 hours @frozen wind
its 9:14 EST here
6am EST
.
It's a major patch
@open coral what "yes"?
This is just how things are.
At least its not the typically 24 hours
Yes, you'll lose access to the PS4 version when you upgrade to the full PS5 version (not the beta)
If i remember correctly
That's how they did things when they did free upgrades from PS3 to PS4
When i upgraded to ps4 from ps3
How long is this update ???
I lpst the access
I maxed out my desynth skill. What should I do with it?
Question, PS5 only getting the same level of graphic as PC or PC also get upgrade but on UI only?
Scroll up slightly
@open coral ok this helps a lot thx
9h!!
can we do new Nier raid without doing new msq?
yes
Yes
So i cant earn plainum trophy on ps4 anymore
nier does not have msq requirements
Yes, as long as you've done the other two parts of it.
What should I get? The Namazu earring or the 2 orchestrion scrolls? Which are harder to get or expensive to buy?
Namazu earrings don't come from anything else.
5.5h actually
What about the expensive scroll?
Damn it was so excited to play
What is O8?
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?
Omega raid, fight 8
We don't know.
is it getting a rework or what?
No
Can you have 2 different maps decifered in your inventory? For ex. One Gazelle and one Zonureskin?
No
😮

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?
I think we should make it as pin
cool thanks
Anytime
is there a site i can use to plan mitigation?
Excel
doesnt work in here
If you use it in the #kupo-bot-spam channel
because people like to use the command in here for themselves
True
True
and then tehy get upset when we tell them off
did they announce when you could download the ps5 version?
Is there any benefit to preordering Endwalker?
This will be discussed on the upcoming stream(s) on May
(or is it June)
They won't talk preorder bonuses until they talked about collector editions and open up preorder
limited exp boost item, I guess
But based on previous experience, yeah, you probably will get an item that boost your exp gain, effective up to lvl 70
They haven't announced any preorder bonuses yet
its may for the digital fanfest
So probably May then
is there gonna be a new firmament competition with patch tomorrow?
No
No
Thats 5.51
so firmament is done?
Just double checking, maintenance ends in 8 hours & 24 minutes, right?
Like always
Firmament is done building wise
But getting an update for the fetes and celebrations stuff
So since ffxiv is down for na, I can't do weeklies for this week?
Darn, didn't think servers would go down so soon.
Maintenances basically always go over weekly reset
Alright thanks.
Its been known for some time
Do updates typically fill the whole time or do they just set aside that time 'just in case'?
What time will maintenance be over?
If there’s no new raid tier usually it’s up early

are there any new patch notes?
Full notes up later
@leaden ginkgo 8 hours and 17 mins
See those ten potency buffs to drg and war
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
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)
i think they mean the 80 set
so yeah you do
that one yeah, okay. Sucks but what can ya do 🙂
you essentially get the lvl 80 job gear at the tail end of 5.0
Need tank role quests done and Shadowbringers base story basically done
so i still have an expansion and a half to go XD
Stat wise though don't worry theres plenty of ways to get good tank gear until then
What time are patches usually able to be downloaded on PC? I know you can download them before maintenance ends.
Depends whenever it goes up
so its kinda random
Usually in the later half
fair enough
Does anyone know what error -24202 means? I tried resubbing and it wont let me
The game is on maintenance rn
try tomorrow morning
Wait till its done before doing anything ff14 related
oh i forgot lol
is it possible to leave the lauuncher open to downlad the patch overnight or something
you have to restart it to get the dload to trigger
because the launcher itself will need updating
oh that's annoying lol
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)

when would you say summoners hit their first power spike(like how ninjas only start to come online at 45)
why level 50
!action Deathflare
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.
Most jobs are kinda boring before lvl 50
ig so
Summoner is basically filler until Trances and demis
Your Dreadwyrm Trance (often wrote as DWT) is the cornerstone of your high level rotation
Does anyone know the best way to level crafters 70-80 when broke asf?
Yeah, before DWT, you just keep up your bio and miasma
Then do Egi assaults and ruin
yeah ig that explains why its boring atm
Ishgard restoration, gather your own mats
Without trances and demis you have no real burst
Again, most jobs are very incomplete at low levels
Samurai for example, imo, doesn't start going until lvl 62
ig so
its just that i heard tales of how much damage and utility a good summoner can offer and stuff
If you are interested in healing, you can hop over to Scholar and play Scholar for the time being
Its just the raise primarily...devotion is ok
Scholar and Summoner shares level
If the pet bothers to cast devotion
i have a question
someone said u can pick if u want to be a dark knight at level 30?
also whats the joke for dragoons and floor tanking all about
No, it starts at 30
is that when my gladiator class reaches lv 30 or when im lv 30 in the story
It unlocks at 50 in ishgard
you need to unlock ishgard first
You need heavensward story progress
which is post arr msqs
oh
Dark Knight requires a lvl 50 combat job to unlock, then Dark Knight itself starts at lvl 30
Its a meme cause jump animation lock killing them
hmm
Will these 1 dollar charges get reversed later since i tried to resub during maintenance
Get paladin
that i couldnt do before
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
Dragoon's Jump weaponskill used to have hilariously long animation and you cannot move during it
do i just go to the gladiators guild to get paladin
!faq 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.
So DRG dies left and right from bad Jump and eating AOE
finish all the gladiator quests first
then you can pick up the paladin quests
And slyph management like the faq says
rn im just wondering if dragoon or summoner would be more appropriate for heavensward msq
dragon slayer vs dragon user
Barely matters for the actual story
ik
But if you are rping
Well Dragoon was the poster child
Then it is up to you
And gets one tiny line for being a dragoon
does paladin have a diff move set than gla? or is it like an expansion of gla
Its the rest of your kit
Gladiator is a training wheel version of Paladin
ah
Gladiator is a baby paladin
Same for all classes
Classes are baby versions of their job
Classes stopped learning skills at lvl 50
It is in part
While Jobs are where everything else is acquired
slyph management, is that after or before the chocobo one
oh then maybe i havent reached their yet
yes
are there going to be firmament FATEs tomorrow?
Wait... Do I need to be caught up for MSQ for either the resistance weapon or the nier raid?
nier raid doesn't have msq requirements
Okay
Resistance weapon only needs 5.1 MSQ so far
i thought u needed to do the ivalice raids in order to the nier raids?
no
wait im thinking of bozja
and even if you did, ivalice isn't msq
well, the dragoon quests have more tie-ins with the main story
Nier, Bozja are side contents just ilvl and quest unlock.
summoner story isn't really related to the main story
so in terms of immersion, dragoon might help you understand the story better
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
might end a bit earlier than scheduled, but the scheduled end is 3am PDT
nother 6 hours or so

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?
ohhh
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
so assuming that I can just turn in current complete set of hq exarchic for a complete augmented version?
yep
thanks
even weapons?
yep
good bye emerald weapons?
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
means pentamelding the 520 gear will be better than the crypt lurkers eh?
can't pentameld the augmented gear
ohhh
so it's on par with cryptlurker and the new 24-man gear
Ff14 comes back on at what time?
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
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. I might aswell spend another 100 to 200 https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-vivobook-15-6-laptop-slate-grey-amd-ryzen-3-3250u-512gb-ssd-8gb-ram-windows-10-home/14965054

bozja only goes to 15
I just bought a laptop and ots shitty so imma return it.
but they are updating it to 25 in 5.55 iirc
iirc they said only to 15
It's not like it matters, currently. The new field zone won't be added until 5.55
@rotund trail https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=36018&game=Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
Before I bought this laptop I have no I checked if it could run it ans it said yes at minimum requirements..
How long into maint normally are the final patch notes or is it just randomly released?
If you want to run the game you should look for a laptop with a graphics card rather than just buying an integrated GPU
full patch notes usually come up in the first half
I bought this one... going to return it.https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/hp-15-6-laptop-jet-black-amd-athlon-silver-3050u-500gb-hdd-4gb-ram-windows-10/15086792

Good to know
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
An MX150 will be better and that's bottom of the barrel for laptop PC graphics cards
Not looking to spend a ton, I already paid 400 canadian for the current one, my max is like 6

Like I mean when I return it.
And the my wife doesn't want a desktop in the house "takes up too much room"
Wish I could help you but if you want to run this game it's recommended you get either a high end intel iGPU or an actual graphics card
Alright
Until what time is the mt again,,?
pinned in the chat
Thnks
Not up yet

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

Yeah every spec I search I cant seem.to find it. On the site
hi , just wonder , will this mount be in mogstation or i can exchange it or get it from raid , dungeons ?
That is when servers will be back by griz
oh
its from getting all of the gwiber mounts from the shadowbringers extreme trials
But yes the patch will be fully out by then
Mogstation-exclusive items are not mentioned in patch notes and get their own lodestone news
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
😦 extreme .. , then i will get it some day i hope
extremes are pretty easy this tier
^ Especially with current gear and echo bonus
none of them have been particularly difficult
(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
is there an option aside from manual macros to prevent emotes from being shown in chat?
Your own ones?
yes
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
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?
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
It's 3:1

Anyone no how the mentor system works
Is there any PvP preperations I should make for when EW drops its new smallscale PVP mode?
Practice PvP?
what are you wanting to know about, exactly?
Does PvP use its own gear system?
No matter how it works actually, PvP skills and rotation won't change on a fundamental level
PVP uses standardized stats/skills
Nope, all stat are standardized on pvp
no gearing at all is needed
I’m a new player and I really don’t know what I should be doing
You can go in naked if you want to
Oh ok, any hotbar tweaks that might be beneficial for PVP?
The mentors can talk to players in the Novice Network
you really only need 1-2 hotbars for PVP due to the smaller skill amount
@cursive abyss make sure you can use most skills, if not all of them, while moving around
That's probably it for your hotbar
Oh ok so just go through all the MSQ FIRST
@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
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.
Crafting is highly optional
Yeah
Ok
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
And various beast tribe questlines, too
Yea this game is massive lol but I’ll do my best to understand what the hell is going on
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
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
i have a question, does anyone know what i need to play the nier raid?
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
thanks<3<3<3
Lvl 80 and sufficient ILevel, Exarchic gear should do you good enough to get in.
Are there mounts locked behind the crafting beast tribe quests?
how long until maint is over?
Soon ish
like 3 hours?
So what’s the difference between a tank and a mele build?????🤔🤔🤔
There is no build
??
Only Jobs
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
👍
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
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?
Any clue if the patch is live on ps4 yet?
Oh, looks like someone else just had same error in main discussion too
even if not then it's probably better to wait til after maint to troubleshoot
is it just me or the patch is downloadable now?
Some people seem to be able to download now, even PS5 beta users. Maybe a symptom of everyone trying to dl or something?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/bt0psf/amd_ryzen_3_3200u_vega_3_first_look_final_fantasy/
Someone on reddit posted a similar laptop to that one, perhaps its review might help
It's a vega 3 I beliebe
Well thank you! Thats all.i need doesn't have to he perfect
I went and bought somthing cheaper yesterday and I'm regretting it.
Going to return it
does the removal of weekly limits apply to Savage
I was thinking of getting into ffxiv but im not sure whether to choose gladiator or conjurer? whats usually more needed in teams
bah
is it fine if u download the ps5 version and delete the ps4 version
like my character and stuff will save right
Tanks usually see a bit more demand in endgame raids but both are pretty well wanted
GLD is a tank and CNJ is a healer so both are needed
Save your character settings on the PS4 first before upgrading to the beta
thank u
Or you’ll have to redo hud/macros/gearsets/hotbars
i wonder if i should just stick to ps4 version
since ps5 is a beta might have a lot of bugs
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.
yeah i did some research into what they lead into with white mage, paladin and such, thanks

Is there a bot comand to see how many hours are left for maintenance end?
Use !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Do keep in mind though that GLD and CNJ start in different cities (Ul'dah and Gridania, respectively) so you won't be able to pick up the other class until you get to the MSQ 'Gridanian/Ul'dahn Envoy'
this isn't strictly true, as gridania and uldah are physically connected via the map
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..
you cannot change classes until you finish the level 10 job quest of your starter class
so lv10 would be the earliest you could swap to another city job
it's piss easy but still a restriction worth mentioning
but not to marauder/arcanist/rogue
that would be where tsuya is mentioning is necessary to reach in the msq
and you can keep playing through the msq on dragoon
ik but its gonna be lvl 1 and take so long to level
what quest lvl are you?
it's not that bad to be honest
msq level 20
It’ll take like 2-3 hours at most
that's
Bruh
not long at all
I can level something to level 20 in 30 minutes
ok maybe not 30 minutes
but less than 2 hours
Easy 1-15 from doing job quests and hunting log
im lvl 9 on black mage which i just picked up
it took me like an hour to get to lv 9
- brand new ring + that levelling circlet if you have a recommendation code + armory exp
Yeah ez
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
Do you have like at most an hour left. Just do your hunting log. That’s all you need.
interesting ok
point is if you want to switch your main job do it now
obviously the stretch you need to catch up is just gonna get longer
the only thing thats holding me back is the dragoon armor lol
What do you mean?
you can just use glamor prisms
whats that
!faq glamour
'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
ohh like armor of a different class
essentially they're an item that allows for any piece of gear look like another piece of gear
well no
you can't glam a healer piece of gear to look like a tank
what means if a gear is dyable or not
well
then what is it i dont get it
if you can dye it or not
@fading helm basically, if you can equip it as your current job, then you can glam 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
ohhh ok i get what u mean
For dragoon, you can glam it to look like any disciple or war specific armor or armor that says "any class"
So if you don't like the look of the dragoon job gear that's not much of an issue
i like gladiator but its a biiit boring to play
don't have to be so pointy
That's why you have a lot of armor items that are level 1. They're just outfits people glamour to.
All classes are boring at the beginning
other than like
GNB or DNC
which start at 60
doing your hunt log for the different classes is a decent way to level early on
For most melee jobs, until around lvl 65 you're just spamming your 1-2-3 combo
Took a nap, is the patch available to be downloaded or no
if you plan to do dark knight then I would recommend sticking with gladiator for now though
Well
yes
it is yeah
Okay thank you
because both are tanks and it's best to be eased in from lvl 1
In order to unlock Dark Knight you have to first finish the base 1-50 game
you get 1
you get 1 yeah
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
i just picked thje regular human character
You get a free Fantasia when you complete 'The Ultima Weapon' MSQ
kinda wanna try the really tall one with the horns
join the au'ra supremacy
that is the usual dark knight race, yes
Lizzer is best race
BLM
samurai easily
I'm a WHM
then gnb
actually drk, though I'm thinking of switching to gnb
which one is gnb again
drk used to be my go-to tank
Gunbreaker
but gnb just hit the spot better
Gunbreaker
I'm going to wait until EW though, see what they do with all the jobs
ive never seen that
Gunbreaker is a wannabe dps player that has to play tank for the sake of their static
i think its cuz gunbreaker is not in free trial lol
and they like to shoot themselves in the head
SAM, RDM, GNB and DNC aren't free trial
SAM and RDM are Stormblood jobs while GNB and DNC are Shadowbringers jobs
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
For WAR it's Inner Release

Well it's the biggest single change for DRK
dancer looks pretty cool
dancer is a really fun job
Because it is
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
keep in mind that edge of shadow is 500 potency too
and an edge
every 5 bw you do that
you lose 1 edge
whereas every 5 deliriums you miss you only lose 1/3 of an edge
I mean, if you don't get 5 bloodspillers into delirium, then you just lose like 500 potency right?
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
hm
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
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
dungeons are faster if you can guarantee fast queue times
Leveling dungeons are faster if you have good queues
well it's gonna be gunbreaker so queue times are fine
is it ok to download the patch even tho the server is still down?
or should i just wait for it to finish?
How long does a maintenance usually last
You’ll be fine
I c
is 5.5 out?
Ehh I've never paid attention to patch release timings, is it really common for them to open the servers a hour early?
Depends on what the patch has
Depends on patch type, but yes
If it has major content like a raid tier or housing then it never opens early intentionally
Ehh so do you think its likely to open early this time?
Because new Ex/Unreal etc.
this is my first patch, cant wait to go into the new stuff blind and no one knows what to do
ex unreal aren't really significant raid content so it could still finish early
Ex and unreal aren't competitive content
is the update available to download yet?
Yes
it is
nice ty
when did maintenance start|?
ok just worried itll get corrupted or something 👀

thank you
Basically, square sets maintenance schedule as worst case scenario
At 6pm PDT yesterday
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
nah.
If you try to get in immediately then yeah
Maybe like, 5 minutes at worse.
But queues calm down pretty fast past the first hour of a new patch
You know those world record people in minecraft server videos?
That's what would happen if they let everyone connect at once.
Crashes everywhere.
is there a patch notes?
thank you
how much is the 5.5 download size?
looks like 5GB on PC
5.8gb IIRC
What does this mean? https://i.imgur.com/E0icieD.png
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
does dark knight have a counter for tank buster?
It's a really powerful shield ability that can make most tankbusters cake
oh
!skill the blackest night
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
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
I mean it's not the only reaction drk has for tankbusters, just the most prominent one because you can translate it into dmg.
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
it's in the relevant expansion master book + requires specialist, depending on how recent it was
Does paladin have something similar against tank buster?
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
whats specialist?
oh and the 50% damage reduction boost also I guess
tl;dr "job" advancement for crafters, but only can chose 3 to specialize, and can only switch up to 3 times a week
A dog job upgrade you can apply to 3 jobs
all the tanks have an on demand mitigation ability that is on a short cooldown
Thank you autocorrect I definitely meant dog when I typed doh
It's not as useful as it sounds since all it does is let you craft new cosmetics the patch it's introduced ASAP
Though sheltron is probably the weakest of them all
Warrior's is Shake it off, and I believe Heart of Stone is the Gunbreaker one
I think
Warrior's is raw intuition, which you should basically not use after you get nascent.
Ah, my bad
is it the crafter souls?
yes
Yes
its just if it won't outright kill you flash is the better choice
ic,thank you
It's.. situational as all hell. Anything that wouldn't kill you
Which is why the word "basically"is there
You talk to a NPC in Ishgard (The Foundation) to get a specialist soul thingy
and tapping it for shake raidwide is also free as well
less of an investment for 2% more
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
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.
So for logging in, you wanna wait for BOTH gate server + ur home world to be up?
