One of them might be trying to steal priority or something
Otherwise I can't think of anything
so there's no way to fix this other than the log out and lose my spot in queue?
The game keeps crashing on me
when is the dps reveal ?
At one specific point
i know it’s the next live thing but is it in may or mid summer
During fanfest
yes when is that
Does anyone else experience just a white screen when you talk to Tiamat and select "Tell me of Bahaumat and the Ascians"
Sometimes it does that, other times it crashes to desktop
But it's consistent
hi i was wondering if “you pull it you tank it” is a normal thing bc i accidentally pulled a few mobs yesterday and the tank let me die,, and the healer die,,,
Depends on your tank. Some tanks dont care, some are uppity about it. That said, letting the tank pull -is- the etiquette
No, Your tank was probably just a jerk
yeah it was definitely an accident 😔 i’ll do my best to pay better attention
you pull you tank is a jerk attitude
and anybody who possesses it needs to touch grass
Okay. I just check the house of the FC that I am a member of and it does not have a garden. Is there any place in Eorzea that has a garden to plant the Althyk Lavender Seeds.
it should. ask your FC to buy gardening plots.
I agree. "Tank is too slow I'll pull more" is also a jerk attitude, of course. But that's not what Near was doing.
I will ask them
||https://i.imgur.com/4m6sBGf.png|| The topright shared fates isn't showing, what might I have missed? (I haven't been to the bottom right yet, but)
Depends on if the map party rules are owner needs, rest greeds; or free for all. In any case map owner interacts with things (portal, chest in dungeon, gates)
My FC does has gardening plots. But only high ranking officers can access it.
pf listing should say their rules
I know NUMPAD0 targets the nearest nonplayer object, but I'm coming to an issue when I'm at a MB on a crowded server & using NUMPAD0 to target the MB & then using NUMPAD6 to target my retainer nell instead, instead of switching to the retainer it targets the nearest player.. Is it possible to ignore player characters & just target the retainer bell instead?
Is there a way to change the default install location of FFXIV when using the steam client?
Its so annoying when I can't see shit, it'd be a big help if there was way to do so
otherwise, either ask them or you're out of luck. you require a gardening plot on an estate you have access to to garden
there are zero gardening plots anywhere outside of housing estates
Might have forgot to unlock the gemstone trader in alamhrang (spelling)
you're missing amh araeng, yeah
I have the riding map of that area, even.
afaik there is a keybind to toggle click-through players
And in the former case. I am out of luck. And I do not have enough gil to purchase the Chimera Mane. Sighs. I'm out of options.
don't quote me on that
just chimera manes? how many?
Check if theres any npcs with exclaim marks in twine since i know for sure theres a trader there. Edit not a side quest but the droplet !
cause they're like 300 a pop
Let me see what else.
like, what is it you're trying to do
Would anyone know where this option is? Seems like something that'd be best left off
because if it's come to gardening, there may be other options
If I'm not misremembering, mine used to be X by default til I rebound X
but that may just be toggle names
it was a while ago
Yeah its just toggle names for me.. Ig imma have to dig in Keybinds
I may be wrong then. It's been a minute
I am making a Chivalric Doublet of Healing for my level 60 Weaver quest. That quest can only be completed by purchasing Master Weaver III. Which I have already done.
And I checked and it can be traded too
Chimera Manes make the Chimerical Felts
This guy, was already unlocked, didn't change anything 😦
head to your limsa rq
omw there now
Try doing a random fate
Think I found it, for future reference for anyone searching this topic
should I save all old gear for glamour? can you use the appearance of anything for glamour?
I am by the Retainer Vocate @agile laurel
I should have told you sooner. But I need loads of Chimera Mane. To make one Chimerical Felt, it requires 5 Chimera Manes.
uhm, i gave you felt didn't i
let me check
incidentally, unsure if you were unaware but you can just kill chimeras in azys lla to drop chimera manes
you don't need to trade them to the housing merchant
You gave me the Chimerical Felt. Which is exactly what I need. thanks
If that didnt work i guess the next option is to continue msq until ||tempest||
It worked. I.. missed that, somehow. Thank you very much 🙂
And yes I am on Azys Lla now. where are the chimeras?
Beta quad, ne on minimap in nothern part. Youll see a pond and maybe a fate with giant chimera active
If i remember my quadrants right
X31 y6
yo can i make gil gathering?
Yes
i need like 3 million
you can, depending on what you gather and what people are willing to buy
Gathering tends to be low prices high bulk, so gotta invest the time and effort
ive been away from the game for six months whats the 411
which roulette is the one you should avoid?
how do i find out what people wanna buy
50/60/70 and Normal is for poetics, Leveling/MSQ/Alliance is for exp, Trials and Guildhests are quick, fast, low rewards
thank you!
And mentor roulette is if you hate life 
I would also put normal raid roulette in low reward xp wise but it usually can take a little more time than trials depending on the randos
anything related to crafting the high-end gear, though that's probably fallen off a bit since 5.4
true 
Anyone know what the drop rates increased to in triple triad feels like the same ...
The Ai freaken chests and plays unfair stupid
https://arrtripletriad.com/ I think this site lists drop rates, though they're crowdsourced so probably off.
Need some help finding all Triple Triad cards on Final Fantasy XIV? ARR: Triple Triad is the website for you! Here you'll find cards location, challengeable NPCs and much more.
Have they updated the drop rates ??
though they're crowdsourced so probably off.
I'm trying to get every card but ughh
It's so bloody annoying stupid stop rates are still so low
In that case, let me just confirm to you that the drop rates are really really really really low.
I was doing some npcs and the new drop rate+buffed deck building making it easier to beat npcs has made grinding TT more of a breeze
There's never any hard drop rate numbers
If its not guaranteed or never drops, any rates are anadotal
How do people have every single card even...
By being patient.
With alot of time and effort
Soo brutal
Just remember you don't have to do it by any date, you have as long as you like, play a few games here and there but don't burn yourself out grinding every card, its not worth it. When you stop having fun, try doing something else for a bit
Thought be easier since they increased the drop rates
i’m lvl 17 but i’m going lvl 15 msq
and idk how to get to the quest im on
and how do i get to dungeons
Hello! Halp!
A frined of mine wants to create a character on Brinhildr, but it cant create it right now.
There is an amount of time for that to change?
Can we know if that cahnge?
Wish there was a pity system like mounts you win 99x and don't get the card you get to choose which you want
any dnc? is diamond weap better than relic 100%? (10 ilvl diff for sure)
Yes
Weapon damage is far superior
+1 weapon damage basically makrs it automatically better 99% of the time
There are too many players online right now, since its a saturday afternoon try again later when less people are on either late night or early morning
ic ty
I found the Allegan Chimeras. Now I have to make gil. I'm almost broke. My Miner is level 68. What can it mine to make lots of gil? Any suggestions?

Check the market board for various things you can gather
There's no be all answer
Gotta do your market research
Really depends on your server's market and whatnot but I always find things like gathering silver or gold and turning them into ingots and selling it does okay reliably for like, having some gil (though idk if you can buy silver ingots from NPCs now since they changed up material vendor stuff in ARR a while ago)
what is the point of https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/All_That_Grinds_Is_Not_Gloom#Notes ?
Story
Okay. Silver Ore it is then.
Endgame mats for ARR and HW usually sell pretty well since nobody wants to go bother with the timed nodes or set their retainers to run for hours, check prices before you go out obv
Of course, realize that "any" kind of money making scheme is not going to be a miracle. It's all work and effort
can you buy the blue moon phantasmascaape using totems?
is there a stat difference between law's order and augmented law's order gear?
Only haste
Yes
So since the patch, my FPS has been way lower than it usually is and it's pretty annoying. Used to get 90fps ish in Lavender Beds but now I get around 40fps. I think I might've found why, because if I hide the UI with Scroll Lock, FPS goes back up to 90FPS, then back down to 40 when I reenable it. Is there anything I could do about this? I have the 4k UI disabled.
Hi, I have some doubts regarding the world transfer, can someone help me?
- What happens to my house and my furniture when I change datacenter?
thank you
Already have my settings super low too
You have to demolish your house to transfer at all
You have to give up/forfeit the house and hold the furniture in retainers/your inventories
You can't transfer when you own any housing of the sort
understood, °-° I have to find room for 400 pieces of furniture
I bought an account wide mount last night and I still don't have it in the moogle mail
Is that normal?
did that last night
Try again today I'd say
mk~
Is there an Ascian costume in the game ?
does WHM still use cure I?
No
@viral ravine the closest thing i can think of the shadowless casting robe
@orchid python In lower level dungeons yeah
Its irreverent the moment you get cure 2
how so?
I see
Why would you cure 1 twice
When you are about to do lvling roulette and get Sastasha, you'll need it
When cure 2 once does better
So keep it there
All dungeons before Cure II, you'll need it
Ahaha, I totally used Cure 1 in the level 79 trial just now. Out of mana, all CDs used already, people jumping into AoE left and right at the same time. Sometimes it's just needed.
But it's not part of your normal healing toolset anymore
Its the lowest of the low in healing priority
I see
If you ever get to that point, something is dangerously wrong
if you ran a pf practice savage fight to the point u've seen all mech but didn't clear, do you just gotta keep pugging practice runs until it works?
That's etiquette, at least. Up to you what you do
Make a clear party
If you've seen every mech and are confident in getting them done
Clear parties are such traps though
Not if you say "chests dont matter", this is what brings the parsegods
You state in the of "clear party" put all the strats in the description then say "please have seen enrage"
i have a chocobo question, i hit rank 15 and fed him a thav onion but it didnt raise his rank. do i need to use a diff type of food to raise his rank?
if you form said party, do u need to have marker macros prepped to assign groups too
Not necessarily
ok but i just fed him an onion and it didnt work, hes max xp already
Someone might already have markers
Nah, just bootleg it lmao
Get some xp to push him.over
But its convenient
The onion itself doesn't give xp
As for the in-fight markers, someone has to have em
It raises the cap only
Is this a % drop rate, just did a run and didnt get salvage?
Take it out to fight
Okay. Now I understand market research. I had to compare what other players on my server are selling the items for. And then sell it for the same price
Its in the solo version
Kill a mob, it will rank up
you need to go into the exploration version of the instance
Not duty
not the duty
Not actually in the duty
im a fucking idiot
thats so weird, every other time i ranked him up it worked right away
Make a screenshot of what it shows here for you, Jonesey?
https://i.imgur.com/ucDKldK.png
You can enter copied factory from the excavation tunnels
Just get some xp
Again
Onions DONT give it xp
Only raises the cap
Those stars are the extra ranks
and im saying thats weird cause every other time i gave him an onion it raised my rank immediately and i didnt have to get any xp
Worth a shot, at any rate ^^
Take it out of the stablr
it worked, and im lowkey kinda mad that it did
why was it different this time only?
Either the game glitched or your memory did 🙂 your call
Probably cuz before it wasnt in the stable
If it is in the stable it will not rank up
Outside of the stable, it shows rank 16 with 0 exp right away? And inside the stable it doesn't?
Sounds like something to make a bug report on
Its intended
stable cant rank up chocobo period
To avoid someone just leveling your chocobo with 0 input from u
Oh sure, but it would make sense to have the same behaviour outside a stable as well.
Feed onion > raise cap but not rank
what if i change the relic anima quest intermission?
Is levelling from 1 to max without Dungeons impossible or just hard...?
Its just slower
I don't think it's impossible there are like 800+ main quests
Much much slower
Fates and daily beast tribes will be the primary way, which are just really slow
wouldnt you be forced to do the dungeons in the mainquest anyways
Buuut not impossible? :D
Its not impossible for alt jobs
No, there's way more than 1.
Just takes 5 years to do it
I mean 1 run per dungeon u unlock
For msq
It doesn't make u run it like 10 times
Yeah, but 1 run is 1 too many when I'm leveling anything that's not DPS xD
I'm awful at everything else and will probably not get better
Also its impossible to not do dungeons in msq 👍🏻
Lemme get on and see how many dungeons ive done
Se
Sec
106 yay
I just realized something.. Whats stopping people from making multiple accounts & botting housing placards to hell?
Wait those are raids and trials too my bad
Please tell me people get banned for that
Nothing, but it is a reportable offence
... God housing is such a pain
as a new free trial player whats better to spend poetics on ironworks gear or wait for shire?
are you only allowed to buy 1 ||G-Warrior|| card from C'intana, keeps telling me i'm only allowed to carry 1 even tho I don't even have one (already popped the card)

thank u
Sucking at something is the first step towards bein kinda good at something! I highly recommend grabbing a friend to go with you into dungeons so that at least 1/2 of the people there won't get tilted since that is probably your concern? If you're still worried about early leveling a healer/tank FATEs+Beast tribes are a totally okay way of leveling thats just slower, theres nothing wrong with it, it will just take more time and thats okay.
That would make sense otherwise you'd have an infinite MGP source
Dayumm imagine having friends that play this game ;D
well it requires a lot of totems, it's not worth at all
Its an MMO! Go to limsa and start chatting people up, join an FC! There are potential friends everywhere hahaha
All I did when I joined my first dungeon is, I said I'm new and it's my first time and the people said no problem
Not everyone will be mean
Don't worry about it
I died 3 times in my first Dungeon as a Tank...
Did you use cooldowns?
?
Is this your first mmorpg rain?
If you used defensive cooldowns then your healer is a monkey
As long as tanks keep their gear up to date and use defensive cooldowns, you wont die when you havr a healer with a single braincell
You are supposed to use rampart on monsters too, don't save them all for the boss, most don't hit that hard compared to 3+ packs
I know, I only died to the boss tho
Which one?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
What dungeon were you doing? 😛
I'm assuming since rain said first dungeon it's sastasha
No, wasn't Sastasha
What I meant by 'first' Dungeon was that it was my first MSQ Dungeon in that class
Its okay to mess up, if you died to a boss either your healer wasn't watching you or you were stepping in the yellow aoes
I always move out of the AoE attacks so it wasn't that
I don't wanna blame the Healer tho
Its 100% the healer
If you used defensive cooldowns
If you did your job correctly then itd not your fault
is there any way to tell how far i am through the MSQ?
CTRL-F your current quest
That's kinda the thing, I didn't. I'm awful at gaining Enmity and overall just suck at the class :p
I was doing what I thought was right, but wasn't doing it well
If you have stance on you get absurd emnity for free, are you turning it off in dungeons?
If you have tank stance on and aoeing then you literally can't loose aggro
If a tank is the required role for a roulette, and I'm #7 in the list.... that by definition means that there's a shortage of other jobs, right? Why is tank the needed role then?
You literally have to afk for years to lose aggro after 1 aoe
Theres 7 tanks in front of you, who probably also saw that tank was in need and queued up at the same time as you
If I look now, 5 minutes later, it's still the tank role that's needed.
But the only way there can be a queue of tanks if is there are more DPS or Healers needed, I'd assume
From my understanding it looks at what's needed average every 10-15 minutes rather than checking the least played role at every possible moment
The system has to.match you
Aha, that makes sense.
man they really streamlined ARR im lv45 Dragoon and MSQ lv 41 already thats crazy
The check once every 15 mins thing
so, if i wanted to get my feet wet and start another class, would I mainly just jump in and do daily leveling/grind out dungeons? also, does your character get a daily leveling once for the entire account or once per job?
Nay, I always have it on because I see no reason to disable it
For every tank that queues, x amount more of healers and y amount of dps also queue
So the system has to match you properly to the correct groups with the correct role ratios
On top of that it has to reserve the instance for whatever duty it you're doing
Myeah, but either a DPS, tank, or healer will always instaqueue at any given moment right? There's always going to be precisely one role that's missing from a group
You'd be right, but if you're losing emnity to your dps then you'd have to completely stop using abilties, which you should always be using
The only exception is that there aren't enough people for the duty in general
how many of these trashy jewellery reward quests have i got to do before heavensward begins?
80 quests post ultimate weapon
thankk uu
Your group just happens to have fewer players than groups available
Not all give jewellery. There's other (weaker than ironworks) gear stuff
Groups can be simultaneously looking for multiple roles
so basically go buy ironworks and equip jewellery rewards for item level
So it's not necessarily a first come first serve thing, the roulette? It can happen that someone queues later but joins a "group" that happens to be matched faster?
also, should i buy ironworks gear piece by piece or all at once
Hey!, i need some help with something x_x, so i am attempting to buy the 4 slot mount chocobo from the mog shop, but every time i try it sents me to log in again, and it says that i am using a wrong password, is that another account or something?
after that i cant login for 30 mins, and not i got kicked out from the game and it says that i am using a wrong password now
just by the record, i dont have auto fill, i logged in using my password normally to the mog shop, but when that window shows up, it does not accept the same pass
Get as much as you can, starting with weapon
ur genuinely an angel, thank u for all the help
Is it me, or is the lodestone not updating? My companion app says I'm lv77 for a particular class then the lodestone still has my older gear and says I'm 76

Lodestone runs like an old forum sometimes it takes hours to update for character specific things
Yup
do you get more xp for queueing for higher level dungeons, rather than the levelling roulette?
leveling roulette is only worth it for the daily bonus
Which map is the conjurer guild at?
gridania
hq does nothing for desynth'
once you get that bonus, just do the highest leveling dungeon
@tropic bear thanx
and by leveling, anything between lv x1-x9, the x0-x0 dugeons aren't optimized for leveling so if your lv 60, do the level 59 dungeon and so forth
hello, might be random to ask but which would you say is an easier role to learn between heal/tank? for when i start an alt job. I originally was gonna do White Mage but im not sure which of the free trial tanks are more user friendly/easier to do well
they are all easy.
maurader and gladiator
Guys, which is the easiest class to play (as a beginner).
that is
is the palace of the dead the fastest way to level up with exp bonus till 70lv?
uhhh thats a bit subjective. what role do you like?
Imo, ive just started but in early game there isnt a hard class
So that turns into Warrior and Paladin right? Paladin has some heals but Warrior can do some more DPS is that correct/
as the distinction between the 2?
I don't need to watch a guide before doing the new nier thing right?
Especially as a DPS, just lay down and wait for rez?
Paladin has a physical and Magic phase, warrior is unga bunga axe smash
I kinda want to do it blind at least once
I have watched some videos about the classes, I think all of them are cool
No you dont
BUT READ WHAT NPCS SAY
Basically, I think I like black mage, bard, worrior
They literally tell you how to do mechanics
Nice lol
Upload to fflogs
But how?
With the fflogs uploader
Where do I get the logs themselves?
they are tanks, tanks in this game are just glorifed dps that can hold aggro. yes paladin can heal, but thats a rather niche skill, tanks do very similar damage to eachother
they are very close together
so pick what you think you would enjoy the most
Some classes roles and rotations are kinda hard
personally i dont find paladin engaging at all until like near level cap
They are start extremely simple with like no skills
you might feel differently as a new player
And very slowly add stuff
For adventurer squadron what else is affecting success chance? I've got one saying "i'll be blunt, we're not ready" and one with higher stat requirements that says "challening but we're equal to the task"
but yeah, of the two i personally find maurader - warrior funner
and maybe paladin at cap
Neither have any active affinity
Every stat met is 33% chance
well depends on what level we are talking about, im still before job quest so all of them are easy at least for now
Flagged missions need all 3 met
Then why is this one "challenging but equal to the task" and
"I'll be blunt, we're not ready"
ahhh gotcha
.
so there's 0% chance of the flagged one ?
Yes
thanks
Otherwise its guaranteed failed
Do you have fflogs uploader?
When ishgard housing comes out are all the plots gone in less than 5 mins?
@finite topaz I don't
Probably
Go to fflogs.com
So I would want to train on physical/tactical until that tactical is met - because the untrained stats will drop and physical is already borderline
And download the fflogs uploader @olive totem
Okay! Thanks to
i mean i thuink your over exgerating but they will be probably filled quickly depending on your world/data center
if ishgardian houses come out in 6.1
How am over exaggerating I was asking a question?
I haven't been around for a housing launch
also how is learning how to heal/white mage? is healer a difficult role?
Guys, is the game so fun up to level 60?
Not once you understand how healing work
its probably the easiest of the healer, and healer isnt difficult
no role is
I mean, if you are planning to play for free. Is it so fun ( contains many dungeons?)
optimization may depend on job but that late game stuff
Yes, still 2 games of content
Healer is a role that is extremely simple, the only caveat is being able to multitask
how i enable running again?
Press the / key on the numpad
Thanks!
There is a hidden timer for each plot. Once that timer is up, it is then available to purchase. You will see groups of people standing outside of a plot trying to purchase it as soon as that timer is up.
At new plot launch there is no timer
Which is why housing launches are bloodbaths
anyone know how much Gil it would cost someone to get from 1 to 80 in all Disciple of the Hand by buying every materials instead of farming it ?
(just an average or rough estimate)
Several million probably
millions
A fucking lot, i'd say like 10 millions if you absolutely do not gather anything
several million
Several million
I've seen ads for a leveling kit for about 5 mil?
Best bet is to go to Diadem, farm mats from there, level gatherers
Varying by markets on day by bay but million on millions
And use said mats to lvl your crafters
gonna look into it ty was just wondering how many millions so yeah
Probably even more tho
Like heck maybe you'd reach 30 millions depending on yer server
It aint really worth it

in character config but its not recommended
especially for higher level
under UI and hud
There is no easy way to achieve what u want, im afraid
all debuffs are relevant
you cant pick which ones you want
you cant do that in game
should i use noct stance if im in a party with WHM as AST?
ive never heard of any mods for that
Only if.you NEED the shields
Diurnal with WHM is fine
@wispy flare sure unless you think people will be making mistakes a lot
Diurnal is way more efficient
would u suggest a whm or any healer to prioritize det or DH? main goal is pf parties
do you want more healing or damage
frankly indecisive if u ask me
Crit overall, D-hit if you are familiar with your job
Det if you arent really comfy
its personal prefer thing, that said if you're mostly PF det is a safer choice
can u go mixed
sure
sounds good
For sure
But i input Dhit wherever i can
And i do PF
Because i must push that DPS cuz PF be dumdum sometimes
also i read "grab piety to comfort first". does that mean feel free to meld some piety in until u're comfy
thx. make a lot more sense now!
i think i run with about ~800 piety on my healers
Does someone have an anima relic guide that is currently accurate?
when do you unlock cp recovery? I did all job quests in ARR for my crafter
which expansion unlocks it?
somehow my roulette party wiped at the very first stage of alexander raids
didn't even realize there is a wipe mechanic at that stage
is there any way to fix grass shimmering
Anyone have any keybind suggestions for black mage?
So uhhh, so I just go into Thok ast Thok extreme? I can't find a party for learning the mechanics.
is it important to do the starting area quests?
you can make a party finder for it
Everybody pretty much solo it
no one really queues for extreme trials
Its old content
:/
just unsync it. you can solo the boss
Mann I wanted to try some higher end content
it's a good solo fight unsync'ed
Higher end content is at 80
is omega considered higher end content?
Its old content
Is there a way to warp from Foundation straight to the Firmament, like is there a quest chain related to it?
so you cant just do omega raids to get the tank mount that requires you to do higher end content?
Foundation aetheryte
Still somewhat high end if you do it unsynced, but the right way
trying to queue up for Garuda, gonna be interesting fight from what ive seen online
Savage counts for tank mounts
Is there a way to tell if you have unclaimed achievement rewards?
go to jonathas i think?
thx a lot !!
Not anymore. They changed it in the last patch so now you claim them from the achievements page. But there are like a billion lists to scroll through if not in the Last 5
so i just joined duty, and left (because the healer was really bad), but wasn't penalized for it
weird
someone else left before you then
If someone else left before you you don't
Theres a filter in the top right for specific rewards
Hm I don’t see anything like that. Guessing that means I don’t have any?
hullo noob question, when the tank is pulling wall to wall i’m supposed to aoe the mobs while we run right?
even if it's a full party?
i joined as a PIP i think
is the kimono remnant a chest drop now?
are you talking about tsukuyomi ex? then yes
You DoT them while you run if you're a healer
someone probably left as you joined
yep ty
If you're melee/ranged physical DPS, you DoT as tank is pulling
You can with instant aoes if you can keep up
If you're a caster...you swiftcast to AoE and try to not stay behind
which is kinda annoying
A BLM can easily just Thunder the first pack, swiftcast Thunder the 2nd pack
ye i play a monk!
And work on proccs while running
AoE them as you run
okay awesome, thank y’all for the advice!
Watch the eminty meter on the left and try not to pull the mobs off the tank though
Do not worry if tank loses aggro, just stick close to tank and he will naturally regain it
Adds dmg should not kill you and no healer should even bother healing u there, cuz tank will just pick em up before lethal damage is dealt
ok yeah! i was uncertain bc i didnt want to pull off the aggro
While pulling it is possible if tank only hit em with 1 AoE
You def can during the run if they're not hitting the mobs
But it's non-consequential
Yeah it doesn't matter much in the end
All tanks should be hitting mobs thus having aggro all the time
And having stance on
Or else highest DPS will be tanking
They are talking about what to do in between packs when the tank is not actively hitting mobs and is getting the next pack
Ah yeah just dot as you run
tried google but I might just be dumb.
where can I get the scaeven greaves of aiming?
Rhalgers Reach
Rhalgars or kugane
Finish Stormblood
howdy how did ppl already bought a fan fest lunar whale ?
someone link it
Until Fanfest
Guys is it possible to do all the craft jobs?
in ingame chat
May 15-16
During Idol of Darkness, how do you see which of the Red/Blue beams fires first? Having trouble with that part only. Something behind the arena?
You can't link it in chat its not in game yet
Assuming you have programs, you can do some not exactly allowed by ToS things where you can link unobtainable items
i saw it wait let me find it
that is breaking ToS though so ymmv
You probably saw the 2 person whale mount lol
i believe this is called omnicrafting and yes!

Yeah they did that buy using a third party program to link it for them
You can't buy it yet
It happens with every patch
dataminers
haha
yea ikr , gonna cost like 20?
No
More
Its an 8 person mount
The 4 person mount on the mogstation now is almost $40
Chocobo Carriage
Chocobo carriage is 35$
ah i never notice it
I said almost lol
i though all mount is 20 coz i got my bike from 7
wasnt correcting, just saying the price
Do I have to buy gear on the xp boost servers? I'm doing msq and dungeons and I'm level 32 but my gear is like 15 levels behind
Yeah no that Lunar Whale is gonna be more
Is that normal for xp boosted servers
how much is a normal ticket cost?
they mention it the event will be free to enter but we can buy those ingame item with cash right?
yeah its pretty normal on preferred servers. but that said you dont need to buy gear. just use what you get from msq/dungeons
there's no ticket for this year's fanfest. normally though its like 200$
It'll be purchasable on the mogstation I believe
the whale will be on mog station
200???? srsly?
the items for this year's fanfest go straight to the mogstation store
then pick up another class
an event that sell a ticket for 200 is too much , blitzcon ticket is only 59
yea 59 with all ingame item
Ok this is a really important question, since you can have all classes on one character do people green/need on all gear in dungeons or only on the current class they are playing on?
current
Need is only when you're on that job
digital fanfest ticket was like 30$
i never went to blitzcon but i assuim we will get a item package for all those item by digital , who know
but again there's no ticket, live or digital this time
Can I get some help as a new ps5 person just trying to get past the square Enix login
what is allagan bronze piece
How can I get a one time password when I can't even register the game as it is digital
like what does it do
theyre just vendor items
You sell it for gil to a vendor
oh
u need a phone or token to use OTP
is there a way to boost the level of gear i have
i like the drachen armor i got from my job quest lol
no
But it won't even let me get to the screen because it says I have to register the game
use it as glamour
yes u need to register ur game first
oh how do i turn it into glamour?
repair it and put it in your armoire
then open the glam dresser
and open plates and put it onto a plate
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
!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.
strength is still a good stat for SAM right?
Yes
it's the main stat
strength
Dex is for ranged classes right?
and ninja yeah
mhm
how do i reenter terncliff
there's a resistance escort npc near the dude who gives the weapon quests
oh boy the npcs are invisible on my screen
its a little ways away from the questgiver
Say, what is the entire OST list for the nier raids?
should be some where thereabouts yeah
what the best xp wise : dungeon leveling roulette (reward already done) or spam dungeon closest to my level ?
spamming dungeons close to your level
@rigid mauve it's taken from the nier automata ost except the final bosses are remixed
Where da npcs
leveling roulette once you've gotten your daily reward is not that great, especially if you get a dungeon thats well below your level
That escort is there. Somewhere
Guess I'll have to look there. Thanks.
i only see "resistance fighter" npcs and no "resistance escort"
also the quest giver npc and the EX giver npc are invisible

Maybe restart game?
The ruby weapon unlock quest is all the way near the south east Aetheryte


any way to see the fates I've already completed ?
Just play one of the mission modes that isn't a boss battle
verminion challenge?
That sounds about right
Quick question: whats "burn farm" mean?
So I've had this problem since patch day idk how to fix it (I play on PS4 BTW)
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling
Restarting my PlayStation
And I still get this error when I try to boot up xiv
hey guys how do you get summoner job? im already level 32 and i cant find the quest
!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, after coming back after not renewing my sub at around level 40, im just about done with the 2.0 msq. I was wondering since there is some more msq after 2.0 that doesn't pertain to heavensword, will I get too high of a level from them for the rest of the msq to be boring?
hmm ok
Do the expansions ever go on sale?
yes
Is there a place that shows when
Shadowbringers may be going on sale soon once Endwalker gets closer
they arent announced ahead of time usually
But otherwise no specific dates besides JP holidays for SE store and Steam is kinda.... Sometimes(tm)
wont endwalker contain shadowbringers?
When is endwalkers supposed to come out
Fall
Autumn, yeah
Gonna bring a new level cap?
90
Yes, but it's for the impatient people on the starter Edition who don't want to wait for Endwalker to begin their Shadowbringers story
That's what I did with stormblood 
What are the best stats for a lancer?
strength
left
ok
Techincally they're both the same
The other stats on them aside from strength do nothing for you
whats the command for the bonus exp chart/armoury bonus?
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
is there any bonus for Gather jobs or no?
no
other than equipment we can wear to give us XX% to level 30/50 etc.
how about chocobo racing, is that multiplayer only?
No, ai will fill in
Am i better off spamming raids for the 18 memories for relic or doing fates? Anyone know what the drop rate is roughly from fates?
Spam raids while doing fates
Which sect is better in single boss fight as AST? Nocturnal? Is Diurnal better for many mobs?
diurnal
Diurnal is better in almost every situation
Does ACT work now? It breaks for a bit every time we get a big patch.
Yes
👌
It gets fixed within like a day or two
If im doing fates for them is it better to do them in say the Lochs where im over the SB lvl cap or is the difference not enough to matter where?
Lochs would be better yeah
well, downloading final fantasty xiv on steam was pointless
Does anyone know the difference between chaos and light server?
None
theres no difference
Each has its own set of "worlds" (servers)
Oh!!! But it last shorter than nocturnal right?
Worlds on a data center can interact with each other but can't interact with worlds on other data center
Yes but it heals for more in that time
Ty!!
Regen > shields for casual content
wym it lasts shorter
next fete is in like 30min, right?
But it doesn't make a huge difference
the sect has no time limit
The buff timer they mean
When do I use nocturnal?
When you REQUIRE shields
when you have a whm co healer
Oh!
DO servers matter? or can you switch between them
Diurnal is fine with whm if shields aren't needed
@dense quiver individual world doesnt matter
No cause world visit exists
After I get the mount from the fetes there's no reason to keep doing them right? (Other than the achi for 10)
You're locked to housing and guild on whatever your home server is
That's about it
Stuff to sell
and you can't attend weddings on other servers
oh man, now the struggle of finding on what i wanna play
What server had the xp boost?
But all the stuff is so cheap
Still money
@dense quiver the ones that have the star on character creation
Scholars I use diurnal mode that I know.
With scholars I use diurnal sect that I know
No
nothing on character creation matters except job
If you feel like optimizing to a fraction of a fraction of a percentage
basically no one does this
Same for the other lore type stuff in character creation
You use Nocturnal when you're with another astro or when you REQUIRE shields with a white mage
alright then, ty
Like Gods and shit
No server has a current level boost on eu?
lich and omega
okay thanks!
Thanks a lot! Vinyl!
is excalibur a casual server?
should i unlock the hunt to get the augmented cryptlurker or should i wait until endwalker?
does unlocking elite hunt give out sack of nuts?
You can get it via nier coins
Outside of savage
But nier coins are weekly locked
For the new one
so no need for hunt
how long is the FETEs going to be around?
probably until/if they decide to do something new
After completing the Nier questline till the point where I get a weekly quest, am I done?
yep
Do I get anything special from the weekly quest?
just lore
I see
Good
So more easier to play ?
I’d say it’s fairly complex and has a lot of nuance
One of the more complex jobs
Stuff like ghosting your pet actions, and not moving during Bahamut/Phoenix to avoid losing damage
Just double checking something with this dumb question
can you trade Promise of Devotion (Platinum) in game for gil from people or is that against TOS?
how can i meld my own items?
someone on Balmung was going off about it in the Novice Network
You need a crafter levelled to meld without npca
Pretty sure it’s frowned upon/not allowed. The item is tradeable so you could give it to your partner, since it was added before gift codes were a thing.
So it's basically RMT then correct Wynne?
I’d say so.
Did you learn self melding at black brush
Noted, thank you
where tf is black brush
Up to you. Rn there's really no use for 520+ gear unless you're savage raiding, beating DW EX or prepping when Bozja 3 has content needing 520 gear
Black brush station
When desynthing trial weapons for the special material the boss sometimes drops, do PLD swords and shields have a lesser desynth rate of those items than the other "whole" weapons?
Central Thanalan at x23, y14
Cool.
ok ty ty
That’s where the melding quests are.
got it ty much
how many tokens do you get per fete
There's a couple of really quick quests that you can do to unlock melding. Don't worry I did the same thing with my own culinarian. It's easy.
1 per box usually
ty
Cerberus, it's up in the air depending on how man you get from the boxes
So when buying weapons via totems, to desyth them, I should go for the PLD swords/shields, for a greater rate of getting the item?
Yes
do I have to be a crafter for fetes
Or gatherer
ughggh
Heyyyy
Would anyone be interested in trading coaching? LOL Like you help me play FF14 more optimally, and I teach you League
I'm just a little overwhelmed with the game, and I don't know what I don't know lol
We can just help you with the game, because that’s the nice thing to do
!faq newplayertips
That would be, don't mind if I ask! And my offer is still open to those who do want League advice. My peak was Diamond II
Thanks for this
should i get a full ironworks set before beginning heavensward?
You can just wait for the price to be tanked then buy from mb. Peacelover attire can be obtained from present box which make it very easy to cause oversupply :/
It helps alot as ironworks lasts you until lv55 story
no I want the other stuff from the fetes
gotcha, so whats the best arr dungeon to run for poetics?
Just do each lv50 once for the first time poetic bonus
Pretty much gets you alot/all the pieces there
Plus you'll need to do crystal tower and hard mode primals anyway
Which in term unlocks more roulettes
sweet u have saved my life again vinyl
Would someone be able to watch me stream FFXIV expert craft and guide me through what to do once?
Yes
Bc I discarded the a leg piece from a set so I was wondering if I could just buy the set again just for the one missing piece
Gotta get the whole set again

what does it mean when an item in the character is white?
I feel like this goes here if not sorry, so I've been having problems where the game crashes after selecting a character and having a 2-3 minutes loading screen (for me thats pretty long since it normally only takes 30 seconds) at first, but after a day or two (starting yesterday) it wont even let me get to the character selection or the screen where you choose the DC , press "play" and all that, so now its just "start game -> game starts -> black screen -> error message" (this is the message that pops up )
(translation: "ffxiv has been closed due to an error" basically)
@rose oak what do you mean the item is white
are breach coins capped as well? 1 per week?
Currently those are the only capped coins
The other two you can get as many as you want per week
no wait that's not what i meant to ask actually sorry. if i receive a gear piece in a raid, can i still get a coin?
or does all loot share the same limit
You automatically get a coin for completing one of the raids (breach only once per week)
It's not part of the other loot
Does transferring onto a different Grand Company you havent leveled affect your squadron?
ohhhhhhhhh, alrighty! thank you ✨
You get one gear piece, one coin and materia clusters once a week
@wispy flare no
no, your squadron is basically "frozen" until you get to 2nd LT
Those are the 3 loot items
for overmelding
nothing about your squadron is changed
not necessarily
