you probably could pay through Steam wallet
if you bought through Steam
it's a feature non steam users cannot use
no real issue, as long as you prefer your downloads on Steam.
maybe, launching more than 1 game might become one if you need to use an alt
nah it's automatic
they let you sign in with your Steam
when you need to pay through wallet
no need to attach anything outside of normal account creation
they also let you pay outside of wallet
it's just a convenience thing that applies to Steam owners
but that's the only real perk of playing through Steam
I like to have all my games in one library that's why I downloaded it thru steam
yea same
This is a huge game started today should I focus in story at first? kuz I wasn't able to choose the class I wanted wen I first started
Story and class/job quests. Most of the game's content is unlocked through story.
story is mandatory, but each time you complete a main story section you'll unlock loads of side content
You just need to do your lv10 class quest and get to the rogue guild in limsa for it
you just walk up to the guild in the bottom decks, and they'll let you in they're basically like outlaws
which one shd i get
The current expansion
Is there a way to hide the thumbnails and stuff on the launcher? the pic for the latest patch or whatever has characters on it that I thought were dead
Alright I heard it's a good story so I'll take my time with all other side quests I'm a completionis wen it comes to jrpgs
Complete edition gives you everything you need
the story picks up around HW and beyond
Yeah I got complete
You can ignore yellow side quests
I will don't mind da grind
ah no it's just the story was very black and white at launch because of the reboot they did
it kinda grows on ya as you go through the expansions
the story and quest structure of the base game is very repetitive and bland
they also hired better actors
Yeah the intro reminded me of ffx on ps2 lol
by the time you're at shadowbringers you're gonna be sipping through coffee to see all of that story
it gets good
Lol yeah I made sure to get that complete wen I look at da prices I Kno it was quality kuz stormbringers more dan da base game
Expansions are always more than the base game
This my 2nd mmo tho so I'm still learnin
My first was bdo an there p2w got ridiculous
I personally love every alliance raid in this game
and they just get better it doesn't really go downwards in quality
But I love RPGs especially jrpgs kindof beat games too fast
you're gonna have a solid amount of things to do, expansion drops in a few months and this patch finalized shadowbringers
Yeah I read on that end somethan so dats somethan to look forward too gives me time to catch up eventually
@tropic bear you might be able to remove the jpeg files from the games folder directory but if its tied to the website it might not work
is ffxiv demo version in steam the free trail?
Those are loaded from the web so that they can post news and stuff without making you download launcher updates
@turbid folio hello fellow bdo player I spent over 120k$ on that game before I left it, started to feel like a second job
Guys about the new nier raid, does it give materials to upgrade current time gear? If so, is it weekly capped? Is it hard? I have to renew my monthly subscription but I’m only gonna do it if it’s gonna be worth the farm (not tedious)
Yes, it's labeled as demo https://store.steampowered.com/app/312060/FINAL_FANTASY_XIV_Online_Free_Trial/
There might still be a way to block the images from showing if u look deep enough but eh idk
The new breach coin is weekly capped. You need it and 1 coin from factory and 1 coin from bunker to upgrade cryptlurker gear. Those last 2 aren't capped though.
How many runs would I need to do on average per week in order to cap the new breach coins?
If doing it only with coins, yes. You can also buy the upgrade mats with hunt nuts or savage loot iirc
(I don't do savage, so not very familiar with how that works)
Seby it was ridiculous bhro plus on PS4 it's impossible to pvp wit no story aswell
Considering the relative rarity of both healers and tanks, was there ever any mention as to why there are only tank achievements for doing enough duties?
Tanks were particularly rare in early ARR so needed the extra incentive.
Makes sense, they are achievements from way back when yeah
Are tanks and healers still rare
There are fewer than there are DPS queueing, yes. This is a reality of all trinity games.
I like playing tanks or healers in mmorpgs I just don't like leveling them lol
That's how most people look at it
I guess
Most people believe that a tank or healer has more responsibility in a party, and don't want to/dare to take it.
I mean most new players get shouted at for doing something wrong if they get in the wrong party
And that puts them off
Some people aren't nice to others
I see people say that but I've never ever had it happen.
Guess u were just lucky
It's not that common in FF14 in my experience. Especially compared to other MMOs
New players in FFXIV tend to be greatly accommodated for by others during the levelling process.
I had a random 80 add me as friend and talk to me about everything without even asking
She was so nice to me
i wish i had a friend like that i just started playing haha
I was just doing msq lol
I've done that for a number of people from this discord.
The XIV community in general tends to be a lot more forgiving and willing to explain things if you say you're new to content or to a role.
its a mix of having a rough earlygame to slog through and a great dev team that works to put out great content
we want more people to experience shadowbringers with us hahaha

go to the link
Apparently you don't have a valid license or your sub has expired
Why don't you go check on the mog station
anyone know how to change name of friend group?
what does this comment mean:
on the alliance list
The person with aggro from another alliance gets a red highlight around their box
So I'm on controller and I've just hit 70 on DRG. Is there an easier way to target people for dragon's eye? It feels kinda sluggish to scroll through the list of party members
especially in trials
some one said i can actually rename those friend group but i cant find a wat to do so
windows account and steam account are completely separate.
You could create multiple macros that are set up to target each individual dps
Oh aight, is there a guide on creating macros somewhere?
@void venture how old is the free trial account?
If you mean a linkshell you can rename at a Linkshell Distributer NPC. If you mean a free company, you use the OIC Administrator at the grand company headquarters.
All you'd need to do is something like /ac "Eye of the Dragon" <6>
The number is what position in the party list to target
So it'd target the 6th member down
ok thanks, I'll do that
Yea assign a friend, and then right click in the popup
(I never even knew this was a thing until today)
I don't believe they're renameable
ohhh its hidden function lol thx
ashamed
Kugane
thank fren
what class shd i start to get samurai?
btw are those from ocean fishing? and how to triger it ?
Any of them
Any, it doesn't matter. Samurai unlocks at level 50 and requires no base class
I believe so. The official description for those achievements says "while ocean fishing"
what to do with faded orchestrion things?
Alchemists can turn them in to usable rolls
theres no one quing up for ocean fishing lol
thx
What is the most fun tank to play?
Completely subjectivr
eden's promise doesnt have locked rewards anymore right
its jsut the latest 24 man?
Normal is unlocked. I believe savage is still locked.
thank
The weapon drop from e12 normal is still locked
Yea, but you only need 4 now for the defragmented tomestone at least, instead of 7
whats a fast way to level 42-50?
right now im doing cowrthas fates and queuing for dungeons
Daily level roulette, then highest level dungeon spam
Or POTD if queues are over 15mins
okies
Hey so I finally pentamelded my entire aesthete crafting gear but what about the gathering gear? does the same principles apply where GP is king and second is perception?

should I? :S
i am confusion
very connfusius!
how do i find out where to look for treasure maps
and di they chagne locations
im by slitherbough and i swear i could get some here before
I have question on minstrel ballad thordan
Fornchain phase spiral force how do u know where to stand
If any of u even remember that fight
Is there any guide for il490 gathering gear pentamelding?
Check Pin in #doh-dol-lounge
how do i find out where to look for treasure maps
@cerulean schooner http://heavenswhere.com/
Interactive maps for Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, Stormblood and Heavensward. Hunt monsters / Vistas / Mining / Botany / Fishing / Aether currents / Treasure maps
As someone who is looking to get into ranked feast for the rewards, do I only need to be within top 100 of my current tier to obtain the armor set?
Make sure you have a map allowance available and keep in mind that it's a hidden item that won't always appear
yeah i kno but i went through 6 and didnt appear
thought i was crazy
and ya i do have allowance
Sometimes you can go through 20 and get none
so it rlly do just be any max level slot thank
Does anyone know where to stand for spiral thurst
dophin and seagulls are basically rng. there's the sighting part and then the short (1 min) buff which counts for the achievement

PHASE TWO: ...
So top 100 of my tier within my data center then?
@fresh lodge yeah but some of the spots u can stay in also have stems
That's why it's confuse
Ing
Also has what?
Just look for the long stem on the ground basically
what stat priority does SAM got
I heard its best to prioritise SkS
Crit not as much due to the already high damage
Nooo.
SkS to tier > DH = Crit > Det
You should get the required amount of SkS to reach a GCD tier.
So yes, SkS first but only to tier
to tier?
There are three options for optimal GCD tiers
also the shadowstalker gear was a reward for season 18, i think
There are certain points of speed where things flow smoothly
Too fast or too slow and things start to go out of alignment
so i don't think you can get it? if youre going specifically for that set
yeah they'll probably change the armor
whats the best SkS tier for SAM then
thanks

Strongly recommend you take a good read, particularly regarding the 60-second loop and "filler GCDs"
Is there any website/resource where you can get the Chat macros for i.e. Diamon ex?
Saltedxiv is basically the Balance.
salted is maintained by the balance, p much
ah
I honestly had no idea. I've made this type of mistake on other servers/games
I'm not sure why ppl would take offense at salted getting posted here o.O
Well that makes my decision about whether I should grind out this season of PvP or not much easier then. Thanks😆
What was the fashion bot command that I can use in the bot channel?
!fr
for Fashion Report
Thank you
What's the best method of approaching palace of the dead as a DPS focused purely on leveling?
How long does a eureka weapon take to complete from scratch now? Like going in there from level 1?
And, of course, eventually unloking the next deep dungeon.
Queue for floors 51-60 repeatedly. Speedrun and ignore most chests.
To unlock Heaven-on-High you'll need to clear floor 100 of PotD at some point.
Roger. At about what aetherpool level should I be at the start of each set of 10 floors?
Uh. If your aetherpool isn't high enough it just won't let you progress. You should be fine though
If you hit a roadblock you can just use your other save slot
to grind more aetherpool levels
Aetherpool levels are universal, not just locked to a certain saveslot.
Just 50
oho
is there a diagram that shows where you're supposed to move the meteors in tsukuyomi ex?
mtq has one
To the extreme cardinals of the arena, only making sure that at least 1 meteor ends up on the color that is shrinking
Are you putting your password in the "one time password" section?
Because you aren't
No, I'm putting the one time password in that section which is like 6 digits
is that what people mean when they say you're supposed to put the meteor on the thin part of the crescent
Yes
Usernames are case sensitive as well
It takes the color of the floor you put it on, so everyone doesn't die to doom
Oh nvm I'm in, I just ignored the one time password thing
I thought both had to be filled
Yeah if you haven't set a one time password you leave that blank.
^
is tsukuyomi ex the most mechanic heavy of the SB ex trials? everytime i've done it the first clear for a particular party inevitably takes 15+ minutes
Alright, I'll take note of that. Thanks, was confused for a bit about that
When doing it unsync, yeah probably
please enable OTP on your account, if you can
You really don't have to.
I mean, yes but also no
Fastest way to lvl 70 to 80?
You really. Don't have to if you don't want to.
I've played for over six years without it.
What's otp?
one time password
it's the 2FA stuff
i.e. two-factor authentication
is there a profession that could craft equipement for both samurai and machinist ?
many crafters do
look, I always suggest people enable it if possible because it's just that extra level of security
that's all
That gets easily bypassed by phishers

crafting jobs aren't associated with 1 combat job
You came off rather stronger than just "suggesting". No need to pressure people. It's not really necessary for your security.
^
crafting jobs are associated with equipment
edited
"if you can"
You'd want to level like, blacksmith, leatherworker, weaver, armourer at least, probably alchemist too
i would say weaver and leatherworker
"If you feel the need or desire to"
they can craft most of the left sided gear for samurai and machinist
need blacksmith for metal weapons
thanks, really looking to focus one one profession at first because they all seem a pain to level
dont
Getting a free teleport destination is a bigger incentive to activate 2FA. But even then, you may not wish to have the hassle every time you log in.
I certainly don't.
if you're going to level crafters then level them all together
they're an all or nothing package
i spent wayyy more time and gil not leveling all of them at once
you don't really have to if you plan on only using beast tribes to level your crafters
admittedly I use a custom launcher, so... punch in OTP and off I go
beast tribe quests have very low gear requirements for crafter classes
When will Diamond mount be purchasable if using Stormblood as a reference?
still would require multiple gear sets then
Sure but have fun doing that for an entire year
so you can literally level one crafter to 50 using beast tribes
then rinse and repeat
so level them all equally ? seem tedious on my own, so much things to track, is there a guide covering the "all professions at once" approach ?
yea that's what i've been kinda doing
using 2FA is good security practice, in general anyways - sure, someone can phish, but it makes it a bit harder for them to be successful
but I'll leave it at that
just level them in increments of 5 levels @astral cobalt
get weaver to 5
get goldsmith to 5
etc
Allows you to re-use gear too 🙂
Being able to reuse gear is the biggest selling point of levelling all at once ^^
You save a lot of money
crafter gear can also be very expensive, so it's good to level in small chunks
And you know, making and gathering your own stuff
right, I can use them disenchant / drop all gathering/crafting and such gear when my professions outlevel them
will I have enough storage place to do that though ? or will I need to curate my inventory regularly ?
they all share gear
if you leveled them individually you would need gear for each of them since they would be at diff levels
I'm not worried for gear but components, I began fishing yesterday and leveld it to 20, already represents more than a bag in items : /
It's fine if you sell your stuff on the market or to NPCs and buy it back from the market/NPCs later.
sell the stuff you don't immediately need
you dont need most of the fish
don't save things
just discard or sell them to npc or marketboard
but then fishing is not the bestexample but you catch my drift
thanks for your answers, last related question I hope : how do I know what to keep and what not ?
that would be the biggest hurdle in leveling all
do you need it to craft a recipe right now? no? sell
keep items are that close to your crafting item level for crafters
Question about level 80 class quest gear, item level 430. If I give t hem for retainer to wear can I grab another to put in glam dresser. What happens if I delete the pieces, how do I get them back.
you can chicken
thanks all for making it less dauting
as long as you don't have the i430 in your inventory you can get more from grenoldt
not really. you can do 12 Ixal tribe quests/day. With road to 70 exp buff, you can easily get 5 levels/day just by ixal. more if you do levequests and GC turn-ins, all the items which you can find on the MB or NPC vendors
spread that over 8 jobs
there is also one ixal tribe quest npc that acts like a GC turn in too,
can get tons of exp from that particular ixal turn-in
'unique' only tracks your inventory. Retainers and chocobo saddlebags do not count
and grenoldt gear is technically infinitely reobtainable
yeah I was about to mention - ishgard
took me less than a month to get all crafters to 80
doesn't even cost much
i'd argue the real cost is your sanity 
Where do i have to go to get DRK artifact gear ? I cant seem to get it at the guy under the water like for SAM and NIN
is ishgard restoration more efficient than collectible turn-ins?
Yes
Beast tribes are only good for ADDITIONAL EXP not
@ocean acorn do the tank role quest
Ishgard restoration is also collectible turnins.
@ocean acorn did you do the tank role quests
Does higher gear level increase the chances or make it possible for different fish to be caught?
The ixal beast tribe is the only one you can do 12 quests from a day. This slows down at heavensward when you only get 3 quests a day
Someone just did a floating glimmering spear emote, what's that?
the omega statue emote
Do you need high level fishing gear to catch certain fish?
There are 2 more statues with emotes
What is highest ilevel needed to get everything from ventures for combat retainers
2083 for min/btn
what do you mean stat breakpoints?
the max stats for the best yield
A stat threshold that you need to catch certain fish.
ahh
once you hit breakpoints, further gains in gathering stats bring diminishing returns for quick explo ventures
This isn't about retainers
^
Is there a way to get the marauders to react? In the quest mocking marauders
Tell the marauders outside the quicksand to face me
use the emote /me
The slash us the emote
the quest objective tells you this with the slash
Whenever there's a slash, it means its a emote
Whenever a quest objective has /text it's telling you an emote command to use
Can i find delubrum on duty finder?
Que at the npc
A dark paladin O_o
At the same time?
They're separate jobs
you can have all jobs but be 1 job at a time
Sorry I’m new to playing online and stuff 😅
And you can have all jobs on 1 character
^ and swap weapon to change class
???
there are quests
.
that unlock classes
So I could just change my weapon and my class changes but I could still be at the level I am at rn?
Yeah so let's say you start as lancer, you can just walk into the archer guild, do the unlock quest and then you can equip a bow and you're an archer, can equip your lance to go back to lancer
^
you can have a lvl 51 paladin and lvl 30 dark knight
and swap between them
but you need to level them separately
So let's say you are a level 10 lancer, you can unlock archer, you'd be a level 1 archer, you can then swap back to being that level 10 lancer
Every job is a separate level
Summoner & Scholar level together because they’re weird
Oooh okay I just have to complete the quest and level the class up
yes
Yes
dark knight starts at lvl 30 btw once you unlock it
Okay gotcha! Cuz my friend bought me the game and bought me something that levels me up automatically to level 70 paladin and I’m just confused haha
Job skips aren’t good for a first timer
Yeahhhh probably not very helpful
I mean, yeah I don't really understand why your friend did that especially since you'd still be having to do main story but...whatever
But that means you can play another job through the MSQ I guess.
What can I spend poetics on?
!faq poetics
defeated
Especially without a story skio which means they're ruining the majority of the game for you
No
No just do a different class and you should have the normal experience
You can just play a different job other than paladin through the MSQ.
^
Then youe 70 levels are basically worthless
Msq?
Else you'll just be supremely overleveled for everything and waste all the huge exp rewards the MSQ gives you
Main story quest / plot
Oof so should just start over?
huh no no
Unlock a different job
just pick up a new class
And do the story with that
How do I do that?
which starter city are you in
Go to [insert guild] and talk to the guild leader
ul dah
then you can pick up pugilist or black mage
Thamaturge, Black mage is its upgrade
yeah that
Okay!
Hey guys, when did u trying out different classes?
the moment i could unlock dark knight
Same but Machinist
Fairly immediately I went and unlocked them all, as for trying it really was just when queuing for dungeons or something on my main?
level caps are good places to try out other jobs
Also couldn’t I just the msq which the high level palidin I have and just continue on from there til the enemy’s get harder?
gotcha, just wondering since im a free trial 55 white mage thinkin bout scholar
@visual sand it wouldnt be efficient for exp
it would be better to have a lower level class soak the exp
Would I be a higher level then the level I am right now?
if you did the msq with your paladin?
No with the new class
the story levels you with it
you would get to lvl 70 at like the end of stormblood (the second dlc)
MSQ is free exp, best to level another job
If you're thinking about it, go try it out. There's no right or wrong time to try different classes, you can do it whenever you personally want to.
Yes
Yes
yes
Changing jobs is the press of a button
@jade quartz thanks, what levelling process would you suggest?, dungeon grinding?
you can change at any time when you're not in an instance or in combat
How do I change the jobs?
Equip the weapon
well first open your character window
After unlocking it
But use gear sets
What does the Outsider's Attire look like?
Do your daily roulettes, then highest level dungeon
!faq altlvlguide
sweet, thank you
Ans drag them to hotbars
i like it being vertical
it clipped with my quest list so i had to make them shorter
alternatively you can create a custom shortcut to enter the gearsets page. I set mine to control + g
you can move the quest list tho
good way to farm allegory stones?
Shadowbringers hunts
bold of you to assume i only need 1 hotbar for classes
omg yeah
move the quest list further 
Hey I just started playing this game and I was wondering Which data center I should join for North American
any of the 3
I unlocked a custom delivery in the firnament (dragon one), but all the deliverys are greyed out even though I caught the fish it was showing?
Did you catch them as collectibles?
How do I catch them as collectibles?
That
oooooohhh

are dragoons actually bad choice?

but the thing about them dying constantly is real rite?
no
No
wut
What hair style is this?
the memes are fossils from an old time
oh i see
@scarlet sandal saintly style
then it wasnt bad choice for starting class?
does the spiritbound % on an item affect the damage or stats in any way?
no class is bad
There's no bad job
@pastel sparrow no
Only shit players

Enjoyment is subjective but that's about it
Hello ! I need a little bit of help in understanding something in this sentence : "The basic flow of the DNC GCDs on a single target encounter revolves around keeping your dances, Devilment, and Flourish off cooldown without drifting these abilities too much (if at all) and using weaponskills in between dances."
What does "drifting" mean in this context ? Not delaying your cooldowns ? 🙂
Drifting is when your cooldowns drift away from their natural use time and desync themselves from raid buffs
Happens when you hold them or not use the moment they're available
Ok thank you 🙂
Even holding a skill for a few seconds can be a large determent
(unless you know you wont get another use)
Great thank you so much 🙂
Can you do dungeons alone?
Yes but you cant solo them at level
You need to be vastly higher level with better gear
Ooof
Guys how can i set a "description" under all the jobs/craftings i have?
Right click your own hp > edit search info
Right click and rename the gear set (if that's what you mean)
so i have another question, whats the highest item level for gatherer? 500?
for gear, not weapon
Yes but ilvl isn't everything for non combats
why is there a papaya song playing what is this song where is it coming from
And even for combats at endgame there's a distinction
Easter event
For the Easter event in gridania
Thanks 🙂
Which of the jobs are the least slow and boring in the start? I got a Paladin to lv 60 now in the free trial. And I want to just get a new job leveled up to continue actually getting XP from MSQ while waiting for the game to go on sale again. Paladin was/is so darn slow and sadly quite boring atleast 1-60. Ive heard the game is pretty slow at early levels but which job is least slow 😄 ?
Kinda basically all of them are slow until like 50 or something
Since you're just missing so many skills
Yeh. Few skills and having like 6 that does reduce damage taken by 20 % doesnt help either 😄
I just got to the crystal sand part of my relic weapon quests and am nervous about what to enhance (even though I know it will basically only be used for glamour in the end). Any suggestions for Gae Bolg?
Try Home key
Mch gets their 'go fast' skill at level 35 if you like pressing buttons quickly
@sour ruin Cool, that class available in free trial?
yes
Yes, its in ishgard at the skysteel manufactury
Starts at level 30 instead of level 1 as well
Is there like an easy written leveling alt jobs guide? Theres many videos, but so overwhelming. Like 1-20 do this 20-40 do this etc?
!faq altlvlguide
ah ty
is there such a thing as gathering levequests?
So how long are these several cutscenes? The last mission before heavensward
How much time should i get ready for ?
about 40 minutes
😳
I just did them and timed them
oh
Yes
They're pretty long and theres 2 back to back
Im about to watch like a whole movie lmao
its really good
maybe shorter if you skip all the dialogue I guess
Best part of ARR
Is it the type where i have to keep clicking the next words? Or is it on its own?
you can set the text to auto advance
both
Ffffff ok
i think its like shift + space or something
If you press spacebar you can turn on autoadvance
Sorry to repeat my question, but what attributes should I enhance for Gae Bolg?
it doesnt matter
For Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium the dialog speed is set and can't be changed. SE doesn't want us clicking through it to skip it.
those raids make me want to die
how do i cancel my registration to a bozja critical engagement?
how does resolution ui setting work? i have it in 100% HD, but i think my monitor can do better and when i pick 150% everything is way out out of hand
@rose oak look in the other graphics tabs options, there is a 4k UI option
It just makes the UI bigger for hi-res displays
is there no way to make it hi res but make it small?
you need a bigger resolution for the bigger ui sizes
my monitor is 2560*1440
150% is for like 4k
ohh lol
I use 150% at that resolution actually
Is it worth trying to use macros on a controller/Ps5 or do they just flow better on M+KB?
you can use macros on controller
is there a quest im supposed to do to obtain my challenge log?
They are situationally useful but don't use them for abilities that do damage
I’m thinking of making some for both general use and for dragoon but honestly I have no clue how to make them or make them function properly and most videos I see online are like a year old
Yes. Up to the challenge in Upper limsa
There’s UI macros? WhT do they do?
You can do some nifty things with hiding hotbars and copying other hotbars to make that
Cool that’s awesome
Only real need for a dragoon one is dragon sight maybe
I’ll have to revisit it though when I’m doing more than just stabbing things as a lancer
The only macro you really could consider is one that lets you DS without selecting somone

I’ll have to see if people have UI macros posted online for me to copy
its in the #protips-and-ui pins
Oh wow that’s even better. Thanks all 🙂 I’ve been reading the dragoon guide pinned in melee and I was like writing out notes for myself to visualize it
And hadn’t really explored the pins in other sections yet
5.4 Buffs:
Chaos Thrust is now 50 potency per tick of the DoT. DoT is now 400 potency total, for a total of 730 potency.
Fang and Claw and Wheeling Thrust both buffed by 10 potency.
5.5 Buffs:
Wheeling Thrust, Fang and Claw, and Lance Mastery all increased by a further 10 potency
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip...
this guy makes good leveling guides
i didnt know there was a ninja class bruh it looks dope
I didn’t write out the skill names but as I’m referring the dragoon guide that was pinned it all makes sense in my head.
what level are you
........27
I just knowing what im supposed to do instead of winging it
dragoon just flip flops between 2 combos
Shhh let him learn!
Yeah I noticed it’s mainly 2 combos, with a specific small chain for AOE, and work in the off GCD skills whenever jumps off cool down and then again when life of dragon is active for the transformed skills
its easier to learn as you level instead of trying to make sense of a lvl 80 rotation
you dont even have your dragon gauge yet
Also, muscle memory works better than text 🙂 do your writing next to a Practice Dummy
ive been getting such horrible mini cactpots man this is a joke
havent gotten 10k win in like a week
how do i change back the way i walk
Yeah I’ll probably have to go pound it into memory once I get all the skills. But I’ve always been a reader/writer learner
So putting it on paper helps
"the way you walk"? If you mean running and walking, default hotkey is /
just look at weskalber's guide
like pressing S isnt walking backards
he goes through all the skills as you get them
Probably your settings, try the one you haven't selected. Its under Character Config
isnt A and D isnt turning around
Check your keybinds
many people
People who played older MMO
it feels so weird
Cause it was the standard
yep just did the same thing and looks so much better and clean
that's too much effort. just watch wesk alber video guides and practice with a striking dummy
ok
if it works for them thats fine its not like it affects you
he's just reinforcing what he's learning
is there any easy way to hit 80 points in fashion report this week
like last week u could just dye all the clothes some color
!fr
do you get allegory in bozja?
See there
Soot Black Dye comes from an npc for 200 gil
i thought it was only craftable
soot black/snow white require you to have ixali reputation raised to buy from a vendor though
You can make craftable dyes with a level 30 crafter as well not much of a time sink
Soot black can't be crafted though
is there any npcs quest that gives it maybe
it is crafted
Right my bad
there's 3 quests that do give it.
So used to people saying its from ixali I forget you can actually just craft it lol
oo the company you keep
i dont think i did that
is the only way to get those boots from the market board?
Expeditioners Moccasins were 2k on my server.
they're lv 55 craft as well
actually
you can use one of the other boots in the info graphic
boarskin moccasins can be gotten as a reward from a main scenario quest called "better late than never"
wheres that?
its lvl 43 msq
Do I have to lvl up pugilist to lvl 15 for rogue or can I use my lvl 10 gladiator to accept job quest for rouge?
oh ok im cvlose than im lv 39
Just started
I think also the plundered moccasins from the first 3 dungeon should also work?
You can be any class to pick up rogue
You need to gey to limsa
It's in Limsa. If you started in Ul'dah then you need to do main story until you do the envoy quest that takes you to Limsa. It's a level 15 story quest.
If you didn't start in limsa then you'll need to get to lv15 msq
Read your objective/talk to the npc and it says what to do/why
You're probably not equipped with the thing they're asking for
Alright thanks I'm bouta do dat now
Hey I was wondering if I should pick archer or archaist cause I’ve been fighting between those
They both have very different playstyles
Archer is more mobile, and archanist needs to stay in place to cast stuff
SMN is able to move more later in the kit
However, archer turns into BRD and archanist turns into SMN and SCH so maybe you could see the jobs too?
Got it thanks
heyo
quick question
SE updated the targeting rings right ?
so i noticed whilst doing DR today that the enemies in there who (if i remember correctly) used to have the "positionals dont matter" ring
now have the new one does that mean the other one isnt there anymore and we now have to always worry about positonals in fight now? (or i may just be remembering it wrong)
this seems to also apply o generally the enemies in bozja
struggling to find the section in the active help window
also sorry if this is a dumb question 😅
The ones where positional don't matter show facing direction, but still act the same. The front arrow on them is inside the ring instead of outside of it like the others
ahhh okay
i didnt know that the front arrow being inside was the defining factor
i was just confused seeint it and thought i was tripping XD
yeah that makes sense
Is there a method to grinding (GSM) Desynth skill or is it literally just buying Poetic/Primal gear and desynthing them en masse?
anything in particular or just whatever's easiest to craft?
do you (or the Balance) know what's easiest at lvl 60?

What does Tinkers Calm do, precisely?
Is there a way to find hunt groups?
I've leveled my GSM Desynth to 480 through dungeon loot alone
A lot of jewelry drops there
it's "sorted" by desynth level, spam the first listed item until the desynth gain becomes like below 0.5 per item, then move onto the next one
increase how much points you get when you desynth
the levels scale in a weird way, like the closer you are to the item's reccomended desynth, the less desynth levels you get from it
It says the skill gain is "+40" for an HQ Tinkers Calm. Is that like... +40% desynth exp?
Works for me, I guess. Thanks 🙂
Does anyone know the desynth level for the Eikon Iron Rings?
220, basically ilvl = desynth level. but keep in mind you can desynth anything regardless of level. its just you have a better chance at good items when you're at/higher than the item
thx, that's why I'm trying to levle up
cause apparently you can get Trial Mats from desynthing the normal weapons
which would help when I keep rolling 10s for the mat drops
Are you able to buy a private quarters in a FC house and buy a personal home at the same time?
Yes
Gotcha ty
And even an apartment on top of it
Why does my EXP seem to have a secondary more transparent bar next to my current EXP amount. If that makes sense lol
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
What's a way where I can make a lot of gil. as a beginner?
In the early levels, not really.
rn im level 36
Unless you want to ‘play’ the marketboard as a crafter and scour through it to find the good stuff.
Then no
you dont need a lot of gil at low levels
As a beginner, the MSQ will give you quite a lot. You'll have amassed about 1M gil by the end of it, I believe.
oh okay, another question.. should I worry about different stats on gear now? or aft I finish the MSQ
Rn im just wearing whatever is better
Just make sure it has your main stat on it.
use whatever has more of your main stat
What's the main stat for a blackmage?
int
Intelligence
oh okay ty
Has there been any updates on whether they’ll implement trading (MB purchases particularly) once data center travel is allowed?
We dont even know what we can do with it
How do I fish?
unlock fisher
How/where?
Limsa
unrealistic question: let's assume no one dies and skill vacuum in a full raid party. is it more dmg to have 4 BLM/SAM over a balanced party?
Welp im watching realm reborn last cutscene huh interesting tho :> is the dlc,s better then realm reborn?
post ARR not until 2.4 ish, HW yes
imo
Im past 2.4
He is watching that rn
Im at last cutscene for real
most people generally agree that the heavensward and shadowbringers are much much better, stormblood can be a bit hit or miss
but stormblood imo is arguably still better than ARR
@weary dagger maybe for personal dps yes but the lb would build slower
Im watching credits for realm reborn atm mostly listening to the song
hey guys, i just spotted maahes and id like to try to get him down, but im on free trial and cant even yell - how to find buddies to kill him now? ;(
Also whats the highest lvl Hw lets you get to? 60? Or 70?
the damage you gain from those classes would be equal to other classes with buffs, since you'd lose the 1% from not having a ranged on top of other party buffs
60 @leaden ginkgo
Heck
each expac is 10 levels
because they own shadowbringers?
there's 3
heavensward, stormblood, shadowbringers
heavensward, stormblood and shadowbringers
Respectively raised the cap to 60, 70 and 80
Oh stormblood? Idk what thats even about i barley see anyone talk about it lol
endwalker will make it 90
anyone think there will be a limit to level cap over time or will it be squished like what they recently did with slands in wow for the level getting too huge?
stormblood is when you travel to the far east
no idea, we do know a stat squish is coming tho
how do i enter cutscene as guest on a wedding? im just sitting there while the rest is in cutscene 😅
Ill say one thing about final fantasy they make some good songs :>
i heard about the stat squish, just wondering whats going to happen with the level too in the future, at the moment only been playing for a month but taking my time, i'm still only at 5.1 content
I'd ask this question maybe in a few years after 7.0
They're gonna be lowering health values as well as amount of damage delt
They did warn that unsynced content will become harder didnt they?
Br harder if you're not 90
FFXI kept the level cap at 99 and instead went for a "mastery system" where you could unlock better versions of spells, skills and traits over time.
Otherwise its the same
If they do it right things should hardly change
It's just smaller numbers all around
So now that im do e with realm reborn what percent of the game have i gone through? 10%? 20?
Story wise
probably like 25%
tbf that does sound like final fantasy, previously 99 is the max level in the single player games right?
Huh
Wow they really put alot of time into the dlc?
They are basically their own game
yup
In terms of how much content they deliver
Bruh ima be a old man by the time im done lmao
dlcs are entire full length games on their own
They're 2 years of development
Ah so 7 years until im done got it 👍🏻
I mean... enjoy it
By that time the game will be 14 years old, so you'll be behind a bit 🙂
Ye for sure
7 years worth of developed content, its something fun to do 😄
Things are just going to get better after the slow start that is ARR
I hope there is more voice acting
i mean we arent really getting anything new for like 6 months so
besides a few new lvl 80 things here and there
I pretty much followed the story i skimmed the lesser i portant parts like "go fetch this for chocobo" kind of parts
I’m in the same boat. Depending on how fast I can do remaining Crystal Tower raids, I can start Heavensward tonight or tomorrow. Can’t wait
ARR was slapped together in a very short time so voice acting was sparse
but in 6 months its going to explode with more stuff with the expansion coming so i think its worth the wait
I did enjoy the end of arr however i angy (at what happened)
is it smarter to do resistance weapon quests with your main class or with an alt class (since you're already gonna roll for items in raids and trials with your main)?
why is 1-10 potd so insufferable
@gusty hare whichever you want
ARR's biggest issue is that it focuses more on the 1.0 crowd than new players imo, but thats a different topic
Skip potd then, go farm with your squadron
Do it with a job you like the relic for
Someone mentioned earlier that the gathering breakpoint for gathering retainer is 2038, I can't reach it. I equipped my retainer with level 80 pieces with gathering on it and I reach 1789 gathering. Please dont tell me I need to have them wear 490 gear....
In terms of aesthetics
There will be a very short time period where the fully completed relic will be en par with the savage raid weapon (or better)
But after that it's just a fancy glam
relic weapon will be better than savage
Oh! Btw i have 2k of those apothocary things again will i be able to buy the new set or armor in this dlc from the guy? That sells armor lvl 60 version tho
this relic will be BIS for like 5 months
Poetics you mean?
not too shabby
Ye
you have to get to the endgame hub for hw to buy poetics gear
Heck
for all other expacs you have to beat the expac
gotta do more story
Heck
"everything is locked behind story" isnt an exaggeration
Well you technically unlock a HW vendor before completing 3.0 msq
thank you @glossy flare and @remote lintel
but that's very close to actually completing it
I see
Point is, once you beat the HW 3.0 story there will be a vendor in Ishgard right next to the aetheryte
U know when it says im done with 2.5.5 and you guys are at 5.5 makes me feel like im halway done however it seems i am nit
Im guessing quests are much longer?
each expansion is like 20 hours worth of content
Just the msq
Ah
yeah 2.0 is ARR
Wheres the rest of the game?
And post expansion stuff is shorter
Deleted.
Why deleted?
1.0 was, in yoshi-p's words
1.0 was such a failure that they literally blew it up
"nightmare"
because they restarted the game
Landsaint gear will put them over the breakpoint and can be bought with white scrip
Oh was that the first release of the game
they literally threw a meteor at the game and canonically reset it
You’re about 1/4 of the way if you count by expansions
In the first video in our three-part series, we tell the story of how the 1.0 version of FINAL FANTASY 14 came to be. How FINAL FANTASY 11 inspired its design, the ways in which the game fell short and how Square-Enix and the development team reacted to its failure.
Noclip operates entirely through the funding of its members. To help us tell mo...
There's a great documentary about it by noclip on youtube
Then they called it realm reborn
yeah, that one ^
yes
Give it a watch if you wanna know more
Ok i will thanks
It was a joy to play. But a very bad game indeed.
No they didn't just change the name, they quite literally remade the game with a different plot and everything that takes place after the events of 1.0 and that is ARR
Minor spoilers if you watch part 3 but basically only trailer content really
Is that necesarry?
My friend who got me in (after like 5 years of trying) was in 1.0. The way they ended it was wild
you only need left side gear, so its not too bad
Oh u mean that giant thing in the sky y
That spews flames everywhere?
And the allaicne stood together to fight it?
Yes, Bahamut
GM's literally spawned random world bosses inside safe cities like Uldah for fun at the end of 1.0
that was dalamud
The opening cinematic of 2.0 is the end of 1.0
