When you get to the character creation screen in the main game, it’ll ask you if you want to load a saved character. Benchmark saves are located at the bottom of the list, usually.

For the fetes, level doesn’t matter. Just need a DoH or DoL.
gloomy ice
what's the likelihood of a early emergency maint?
Uncertain. This one is a rather different problem than what we usually see.
To elaborate, the world visit system is broken and the devs have been unable to recreate the problem in their testing environment. They’re attempting a fix using the data they have available but they’re uncertain if it will even work. They don’t normally go into this level of detail when informing us about issues so this is a rather unique problem.

my sister is on the free trial and i was wondering; if i buy a house, would i be able to share permissions with her so she could use the garden and dye her chocobo? or is that not allowed
obsidian patio
other players can't dye your chocobo.
the rest is doable, though.
As far as I can tell, there's no restrictions related to housing for free trial.
the only thing being that they can't buy housing due to the gil cap.

For dragoons, does the skill 'dragonfire dive' turn into 'stardiver' when you have life of the dragon?

Does Dragoon double weave? If so what skills can double weave without clipping?
There is some double weaving, yes. I believe the opener weaves lance Charge and Battle Litany in the same slot
Though there are some abilities that can not be double weaved due to animation locks
warped nest
You will find some skills in a concave box, on the bottom
glossy flare
As a result you do mostly single weaves

These are skills that you get during combat when you meet the conditions

So, I'm hearing that dragoons or monks have 'positional skills' that you need to land, but I'm reading the drg job guide on the website and nowhere does it mention to be on the flanks or behind your target? Which skills need you to be on the flanks or behind your target?

is 'rear' and 'flank' interchangeable? eg. will I get the increased potency if I do fang and claw from the rear instead of the flank?
shrewd owl
nope
warped nest
Nope
shrewd owl
flank is basically the sides of the enemy
glossy flare
It's always either or
glossy flare
last patch also introduced helpful new markers on the enemy to better clarify where the flanks are
zinc orbitBOT
shrewd owl
the good ol ass corner
void cargo
But you can stay on the meeting point of read and flank
as in, position yourself closer to the enemy so you can switch easier from flank to rear?
warped nest
Yup
proper magnet
Maximum damage in the ass corner
warped nest
Hitting the enemy from 4 o'clock or 3 o'clock both count as flank
But sitting at 4 makes it easier to move to the rear

so if a mechanic forces you to stand in a certain spot you can use this to still hit your positionals
warped nest
All said and done, to remember this advice: don't delay your Weaponskill to hit positional
Ideally you want to be in the correct position, or have true north
But if neither can be fulfilled, just use the weaponskill
Don't delay

Anyone had (and resolved) controller issues on PC since the patch? Now when steam detects my controller it stops working in FFXIV (DS4-bluetooth). There's a weird middle ground where I reconnect the controller when in the game and it works, light glows white.

Should I instead make my modifiers for like single target vs aoe rotation?

only in the firmament IIRC
most jobs make use of all their skills. As for BLM the only action i truly recommend removing from your hotbar is Blizzard 2 due to the clunkiness surrounding it.

Are you supposed to stay in aoe rotation even if lets say after two out of three enemies die, or switch to single target?
obsidian patio
depends on the exact job, some still aoe at two, or use a slightly modified rotation.
glossy flare
rule of thumb is to go into aoe at 3+ targets
better to look up specifics for your job though
leaden ginkgo
Oh I was just meaning like for instance in dungeons, is it better to just stay on the rotation you are using? (Not talking about when boss mobs are the only one left really also btw)
Just cause I have many issues switching from an aoe rotation to single target
obsidian patio
also it depends on how your aoe works. Dancer for example still resumes their aoe past the first button even if there's only one target because the rest of the aoe combo and procs matches their single target moves in damage.
leaden ginkgo
I see, I imagine its better dps wise for black mage to switch to single targetting in that case then, but since it causes me to mess up my rotation majorly when I switch between single and aoe, I worry if I actually lose dps.
leaden ginkgo
Oh really? thats good to know.
I guess since my aoe rotation hasa changed to be just freeze and T2 since I last have been in a dungeon it might be easier to switch between aoe and single target mid fight

Does weapon quality matter to level up desynth
Or can I desynth low level stuff
Like lv 1 or lv 50 gives the same amount of desynth xp or do they vary

there's a weird scaling system
generally higher ilvl stuff will give you more levels up to a point
from the balance

so you want both buffs up when leveling up your desynth

the points are the desynth level

which are also itemlevel of things you desynth, like for the increased chance for mats from desynthing ilvl 500 gear you'll need 500 desynth of the correct crafter

have to change it to borderless windowed
fading aurora
What's the point of full screen if u can't use it
Borderless also takes like 30 fps away
glossy flare
borderless window is essentially fullscreen
just... better
takes more resources though
But since ff14 is a pretty old game, who cares?
open coral
Why do you need to alt tab then? 
fading aurora
Because I don't have a 5th monitor
glossy flare
you have to because in fullscreen mode the game captures your cursor
can't just move it to another monitor
olive totem
What are the extreme trials for hw?
open coral
Bismarck, Ravana, ||Thordan||, and the Warring Triad
fading aurora
The game goes black screen for like 5 seconds when I alt tab and after 4 times doing it , it makes my monitor crash lmao
They need to make a fix for that
olive totem
Thanks
glossy flare
They need to make a fix for that
Do they though? People with 4 monitors are a very, very tiny part of the demographic. And usually borderless windowed mode fixes this exact issue.
You could still get in touch with tech support though
open coral
Borderless windowed mode is the fix
fading aurora
I can't afford to lose 30 fps because I use the other monitors to render stuff and that's very demanding so having to go borderless makes my game run at a lower fps
open coral
¯_(ツ)_/¯
mental oracle
Me because I have 4 monitors running different stuff
you can use a program called "dual monitor tool". I'm using it and you can use a keybind to lock cursor to 1 screen and unlock it.
open coral
You're one player out of over 12 million
glossy flare
Well rendering stuff while playing a game might also be a reason for why you lose 30fps 
fading aurora
Nah u always lose fps when going borderless
Even if u don't do anything
U are expected to drop like 15;20
15-20*
open coral
I play in borderless windowed mode and there is no noticeable difference.
glossy flare
Yeah but if you would not be rendering your game would probably hit higher fps from the get go
strange coral
Screen going black when alt+tabbing from a fullscreen game is common behavior these days, not just for FF14.
fading aurora
Do you have fps numbers up to see ?@open coral
open coral
No. Because if I can't see the difference with the naked eye, then it doesn't matter
glossy flare
the game measures fps itself in the system config
fading aurora
@strange coral I've played tons of mmorpgs and games and haven't seen it in any other game
Untill now
strange coral
Also, I play with 3 monitors on borderless and get 100+ fps when I uncap it. I keep it capped at 60 though as personal preference.
mental oracle
U are expected to drop like 15;20
not really more like 2-3 fps https://youtu.be/noATnPRC8Vo?t=81 here are benchmarks
fading aurora
the game measures fps itself in the system config
I looked at that and it's not as accurate as the nvidia one
glossy flare
Can always check here
Eh, it's accurate enough
And if you really do want accurate then I would not recommend nvidias overlay
Because that very same overlay also impacts fps negatively, so it's screwing with the result
astral cobalt
uncapped framerate vs fixed framerate
mental oracle
You can increase windows fps and the game won't be capped at 60
glossy flare
How do people have the game capped at 60 in my options I have 74,144 and 240
The options presented depend on your monitor refresh rate. So to cap it at 60 you would have to have a 60hz monitor
astral cobalt
so the game will eat less processing power while you're on another screen
strange coral
Those options are determined by your display's refresh rate iirc
open coral
Yep, mine's also capped at 60 and runs at 60
fading aurora
@astral cobalt I have the same options as u but I don't have 60 I have 74,144 and 240

Shadowbringers is just the Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion content.

Just... really hard to do it at the given level

I remember when that garlean guy was like 'oh yeah you slayed bahamut' and it's like bro I did NOT
that's the only thing
jolly sorrel
Coils are basically a wrap-up of the 1.0 storyline.
glossy flare
Well if you can find a person at lvl 80 that guy can pretty much pull you through it
Most of it can be done solo unsynced
pulsar escarp
you can solo them can't you

What are those
Challenge logs are weekly "logs" which reward you with xp and gil (or MGP or GC seals depending on the content) for doing things you'd do normally like running dungeons or killing enemies at your level with your chocobo. You can unlock them, if you haven't done so already, from I'tolwann in the Adventurer's Guild in Limsa Lominsa - the 
Rising to the Challenge.
pulsar escarp
what's the rewards?
faint flare
Old geae

Rewards are the usual raid stuff, so gear

But there's no need to get that gear

ahh. is it good for like, glam? or is it just. eh

Don't think you can solo raids on the free trial
faint flare
Decent glam
twilit arch
main reason to do coil is for the story
glossy flare
Don't think you can solo raids on the free trial
That's why I said find someone at lvl 80
twilit arch
easier ways to get most of the glamour

is the highest level dungeon available the best way for leveling dps? currently 64 on BLM. queue times are just longer compared to leveling WHM and AST
glossy flare
Who is willing to do it with you
faint flare
Do your damn job quests

Job quests are shown at the top left, right under your current main story quest

Yeah, gonna have to, I think I can find someone, though.

assuming you've got hoh unlocked, that would probably be faster

Also where can exchange my tombstone of phantasmagoria now that they are discontinued

Beast tribes also a good option while queueing

we have guns as mh for machinist, is there any weapon in this game close to a glock or similar looking handgun?
open coral
No

damn

This ain't that kind of game.
night sage
thanks, i'll try those. i already finished 5.5, but with healers. barely touched any sidestuff

I just realized it would've been neat if Nier raids gave weapons too
Nier themed weapons 👀
open coral
People did mention wanting such a thing, but 24-man raids have never dropped weapons.
untold vault
I'm a lv.17 Conjurer but I want to try out the lancer class. Should I wait until I get white mage or go for lancer now? Dragoon looks really cool
glossy flare
Do whatever you think is fun
You can switch back and forth between classes at any time once you have unlocked them
delicate field
Switching classs has no penalty
and you can change class simply by equipping a different weapon, it's super easy
untold vault
Awesome. I was worried I would miss out on something. Thanks!
open coral
The only "penalty" is that you have to start from level 1 with your new class.
But you get a bonus to xp as long as you have another class of higher level
jolly sorrel
Up to 100% extra exp, I believe?
delicate field
well it's not so much a penalty as it is that each class starts at level 1 (with some exceptions of course)
open coral
100% until level 70, 50% from 71-80
twilit arch
69/70-80

This is where the Nier quest is supposed to be but it doesn't show up. All MSQ is complete and as far as I can see all blue quests as well >_>

Okay so even after unfriending someone
He/she managed to text me
How do I block
delicate field
Open your contact list and then open the subcommand on the character you wish to blacklist.
Select the "Add to Blacklist" option.
vital ruin
Ohh thanks

there's a way to make them completely disappear from the world. like they vanish form your screen

Alright, I see. The "Attire Coffer" is level 1 glam gear, right?

yes
jolly sorrel
I'm just interested in the Stag Horn then. Thanks!

summoner is very much a casting class, but it has more mobility than black mage, and less mobility than red mage
also SMN has more instant spells than BLM so you dont have to worry about being interrupted like BLM or WHM
twilit arch
Red mage doesn't have more mobility than smn 
manic flare
a lot of the SMN comes from EGI's which are instant cast
manic flare
Red mage doesn't have more mobility than smn <:ponder:448375463782514699>
well every other RDM is instant cast, doesn't that give it more mobility?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
twilit arch
no
vital ruin
Wut
faint flare
Thats only half their casts
warm snow
Wow that's amazing
faint flare
Overall
twilit arch
thats a trap that people fall into, thinking that dualcast makes red mage mobile
warm snow
Everything that you just said is wrong
vital ruin
Since when does SMN have less mobility than red mage
leaden ginkgo
Yeah okay, sure
faint flare
50% of your rotation being instant is less then summoners
manic flare
RDM also has a gap closer and gap distancer
vital ruin
That's not the point
twilit arch
which blm also has, sort of
vital ruin
Gaps are used rarely
twilit arch
leylines and between the lines, plus procs/swiftcast/triplecast mean that blm is quite mobile when they want to be
wispy parcel
Summoner has the ability to instant cast for half their rotation
vital ruin
DWT everything is insant
manic flare
alright so SMN and RDM are about on par in terms of mobility
twilit arch
no, rdm is truthfully the lowest one in terms of mobility
egi assaults, and ruin 4 also go a long way into making smn extremely mobile
vital ruin
Jolt is annoyingly long cast
jolly sorrel
I think "mobility" might be the confusing word here. RDM doesn't have a lot of mobility, but it does /move/ a lot.
wispy parcel
You can dash in and jump out but thats about all RDM has
faint flare
Summoner has both trances every minute/55s...4 egi assaults and 4 ruins..plus bio
For instants
vital ruin
It doesn't move a lot
I moves only during dual casts imo
Cos it's spells are still longer casts
jolly sorrel
It goes in and out as part of its rotation, that's moving. It doesnt make you mobile, but its definitely movement.
manic flare
alright maybe it's because i find RDM rotation simpler is why i feel like it's more mobile
