hello! ishgard fates seem to crash my computer with rendering all the people (maybe?), anyone have any tips from that happening? :(
So in character stuff next to gill and bag the green circle is white now, is that because of spirit bond?
screenshot
those are your gear slots
yes but the white one was green
is it spiritbonded?
how can i check
mouse over it in the character window and see if the bar is white
yep 100%
thats probably why then
what does that mean
it means you can extract a materia
or do
right click and extract
ohh ok

Guys I think I'll buy the game with the Collection Edition... Should I buy it now or there is some discount soon?
do you already own the base game?
are you buying the complete collectors?
Yeah
sure if you want
but you can buy the collectors edition for each expac at any time from mog station
No discounts soon? x)
sales arent announced in advance
there's pretty much no way for us to know if something's going to be happening soon
is the zodiark server with high population?
yes
does anyone uhh know if you can link datamined items in in-game chat?
there's a possibility that maybe they'll do a sale over the summer but 🤷♀️
yes, there are ways to link items in-game so long as they are in the files
whenever i click a, it opens chat and switches chat channel? how to fix this?
theres a queue because there was a major patch like a few days ago
in the chat settings untick the direct to chat thing
A queue of 20 or fewer is pretty typical during busier hours too
where can I exchange 99 totems of light for the mount?
eulmore
tyty

Why is the Barrage ability for Bard disabled in Dungeons?
Does anyone know how to deal with Invalid Logs?
Does this mean because I had Echo it's Invalid?
No... it seems like there are still logs produces that are 5.5...
Its invalid cuz the content isnt current
The period for parsing SoSex has passed
Ranking*
Oh... it's passed forever?
I see
But good news that it's not because my ACT is setuped incorrectly
only current content/ultimate i guess is gonna be parsed/considered ye
In ACT, this is the number that decides how long between each fight the ACT will automatically separate pulls right?
Iirc act parsing only cares about what falls under raid finder: so diamond ex, e9-12s and ultimates
kk
It won't care about emerald ex any more
Compared to combat, end game crafting and gathering is a much more solo experience right?
yes
I see
Unless you count me n the Bois having a laugh during the ishgard fetes
lol
Unidentified flying object location?
Tf are you on about?
Actually I completed dun scaith but i still have the objective in my journal
What's the quest say?
have you exited dun scaith?
And does it have a map marker?
cos its just one of those quests where you run the instance and it'll complete the objective once you leave
Use the duty finder to enter dun scaith
Dun scaith is an alliance raid
Ok, just do it again?
It means do the dungeon
Yes
can you screenshot it?
oh its a repeat
That quest wants you to do it again
yes, thats a repeatable
Yeah it's the idyll shire repeatable quest
Ok ill do it again
Yeah
It changes the trash boss after the second boss to Proto ultima
where is the shadow stalker set from?
ranked pvp
And rankings passed iirc
If I needed help with certain class such as Astro, should I ask it here?
yes
also the #healer-lounge
Oooo nice
this channel tends to be more active
Well I'm lvl 55 on my Astro, and I don't wanna feel like I'm panick overhealing
When I'm in duirnel sect stance, should I let my HoTs tick before trying to top someone off with a benefic?
Do they need the benefic to survive?
Let the HoT do its thing and dps unless they drop at a certain %?
Tbh, I don't know most of these fights , so I'm not sure when the boss is gonna hit em with a big boom most of the time
If they dont need the health NOW then regen and ignore
unless theyre about to take some fat dmg
bosses only typically hit the main tank with a tankbuster
and in casual content its not that much dmg
Plus dungeons dont do any damage anyeau
Gotcha
And same thing goes for AoE, if I just use Aspected Helios, I can just let the HoTs focus on everyone
Unless I see them dropping
yes
why is there a leaf next to my name all the time
If people have enough HP to survive the next hit, they don't need healing
i typically just put a regen on the dps if theyre at like 60% ish
i bought the expansion and base game, do i get 30 days for free?
oh, makes sense; when does it go?
When you get to Shadowbringers and have 168h playtime
ah ok quite a ways off then
thanks! also does it count as free trail, or just premium or something?
no
Also the different sects are all preference of how I wanna heal? Because I haven't touched Nocturnal yet 👀
once you buy the game youre no longer on trial
ok ty
thank you
Nocturnal is when you NEED shields to survive when you're with a white mage, or another astro
what about the peace lover set?
noct is if you have a whm co healer and want shield
Diurnal is just flat out more healing
or youre just a madman and like using noct in dungeons
hahhaha
From Fetes in Firmament
So Noct is usually used in raids?
yes
isn't the firmament a crafting area?
although ive seen a crazy ast do wall to wall pulls on noct
i see alot of noct being used in pubs
Too bad I don't know the wall to wall reference hue
pulling every group possible before hitting a wall
Its large dungeon pulls
its when the tank pulls every group of enemies until they physically cannot anymore
you can do quite big pulls in the first dungeon, sastasha actually
Yeah pretty much all the tanks I've queued with do that, luckily I spent an hour doing all my bars and learning my shit
"what, to big? i'll pull smaller" - min ilv tank
please, this isnt the channel for that
i think sastasha might be one of the very few ARR dungeons where you can pull all the way to the first boss i think
you can pull w2w on a lot of really low lvl dungeons because theyre easy
no i mean in other ARR dungeons like tam tara, or toto-rak you are physically stopped by things like switches, elevators, barriers i think
toto-rak wouldn't be so bad if you could just pull everything from boss to boss
which bonewicca helm?
its caster
the one that looks like half a dog skull
theyre all skulls
How long can someone unsub before losing their house?
you have 45 days
45 days since last entering it
before your house is demo so basically for a month
but their apartment is theirs forever right?
yes
But does it have to be the owner who visits to keep the house, can it be a tenant?
Owner for personal
has to be homeowner in case of personal house

is RDM good i’ve looked it up a bit it seems fun but idk how good it is in end game
Yes
its good yeah
Everything is good
but all classes are good
oh okies
Everything is good as long as the player behind it is good
Play what you like, get good at what you like, and you'll be set for the video game.
RDM is a very fun class, and easier to pick (IMHO) than the other caster dps classes in this game
This is very true.
also RDM has a powerful heal ability which can be very useful in certain situations
The only meta we have is 2 healers, 2 tanks, 1 melee, 1 ranged, 1 caster and 1 wildcard DPS, all must be different jobs. That's the only semblance of meta we have for endgame
you dont need 1 caster 1 phys
Yeh, but it's Meta
for most bonus on party main stat
I mean, you do generally want to have what azura listed
otherwise you do sacrifice party bonus
1 melee?
There is a 1% bonus to main stats to party
I mean, that's if you wanna push it but it's not ENFORCED
i thought the bonus for 1 phys ranged 1 caster wasnt super significant
Last tier melee was suffering, I hear
it's 1% per unique role
it is 1% if you have all roles
Its 1% main stat, it is significant
Only if you are parsing tho
can you get by content without having that bonus? Absolutely
If you arent; a clear is a clear
but it's generally a good thing to shoot for when possible
not vital, but good to have
this also delineates how meta is discussed in FF14: very small optimizations for classes
all the static recruiting posts ive seen have wanted 2 melees
That's the general thing, yes
Cause they hold onto the old days
are anima weapons worth getting?
Max 2 melees is what you can have in savage without fucking someone's uptime
They are glam
If you like the glamour
why does ffxiv have a login queue but then a bigger game like wow doesnt
So wether they're worth getting or not, its up to your view
Potato servers, i'd guess
Anima relic gives you the Anima minion also
I'm looking for a low effort, semi-afk gil maker I can chill out with. I'm still leveling and want to start saving for a house now rather than grinding loads after I've finished the MSQ. Fishing and cooking (first 20 levels) are pretty chill, are these a good pair for making a moderate amount of gil? I'm clueless about the food market meta and if other professions are needed to pair with it alongside cooking. Cheers.
Making gil with crafting is not semi-afk
Im afraid there aint an easy surefire way of making gil
if youre going to level crafters then level them all
fisher is generally the lowest gil maker of the gatherers
You could make gil by making coffe cookies leves in Crystarium
and cul doesnt even really use them a lot
cul doesn't use fish much?
i also sell maps on bryn for a lot rn, but that's bc brynhildr has a very strange market
The only reason why fisher isn't useless is because the current crafting food uses crab or clams, both of which are gathered by fisher
fish isnt used in a lot of recipes
all of them
Yes
If you want to make money, that is.
even when leveling them its recommended to do them all
Most big crafts need materials crafted by other crafters
Theoretically, you could team up with friends to do opposite sets of crafters but in practice it's just easier to do em all, especially with the Shadowbringers changes
yikes
and then there's pentamelding to get good enough gear to craft the high level stuff
i put in 4.5 mil for my set
so before thinking about getting a small plot of land, max out all the crafters?
i mean small plots are cheap enough to get without crafters
Just run treasure map and split frontier sale
I just want my own training dummy 😄
if you dont want to craft then farm things like treasure maps and materia
ok cool
Byakko, Hades map, nier hair
End game materia is always a good money maker, especially on even numbered patches
oh but you cant really do these things without max level
so you might as well just finish msq
Yeah most of the big money makers are because of people at end game buying stuff instead of getting it another way
I finished my level 30 class quest how do I get my stone for black mage
!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.
Where do I pick up the job unlock quest
it shows up under your msq bar
yeah msq is the my prio. I was in a 40 minute queue for the MSQ and wondered if something like fishing was a decent thing to be getting on with rather than afking, but it sounds like there's little money in it
Ok thanx
i mean leveling fishing while waiting for queues is perfectly fine
they still make a bit of money
or do other gatherers
better to just sell the fish rather than trying to use them all up with cul?
If you enjoy fishing then it's worth it
you can try desynthing them
You can sell GC turn in fish
GC?
Grand company
ah gotcha
But it's slow sale.
You can aim for old mats from desynt fish as well
Water proof etc.
But Tbh, if you want to make money. Mining is way better
Just gather solstice alone worth more than the time you spend on fish
My friend and I are on the same data center but Square decided to close off the server I'm in. Are we still able to play, trade and group up in a FC?
Cant join an Fc that isnt on your server.
Is yours labeled Congested or just full at the moment?
My friend trying to join says that my world is full.
They aren't accepting new users.
Can we still trade and group up?
Can
He should be able to make a character on your server during off hours
Which server is it?
You can't join fc
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
It's preferred, so if he waits until off-peak hours there shouldn't be a problem
just tell them to try again in an off hour
And no, you can't join FCs on other servers
How can I transfer to his world?
Or is that not a thing.
Is that something I need to open a ticket for?
18$ gotta love these companies.
That would be $18, yeah, the mogshop is expensive
oh home world transfer costs the same as dc transfer?
I would just wait until your world is open to make characters in
It's the same option
Sometimes if you spam it it will just let you in anyway
Yeah, Exodus has the road to 70 buff currently for newly made characters
If your friend just started, better just create new one than wasting money on transfer
I'll see if I can talk to CS about how they kinda locked my buddy out from being in the same world and see if I can snag a free world transfer. Did the same thing with Blizzard.
thats not going to work
worlds open and close depending on how many players are currently online
Is red mage immobile like blackmage?
so wait for off hours
no
Red mage can move around a lot
Red Mage has an instant cast every other GCD, basically
and some moves which up it's mobility
!action Enchanted Reprise
Oh nice so there isn’t much of a damage fall off if they’d have to move?
For a small bit of both gauges you can move without too much of a DPS loss
In the meantime, how do I add him while he's in a seperate world.
And group with him
thanks for the info! :P
it's still less than a fully prepared black mage with xenoglossy, triplecast, and Aetherial Mimicry
black mage really isn't that immobile
but it's considerably easier to pick up or react to new stuff with.
one of you has to visit the other and use player search or meet up at the same place @swift maple
Have him World Visit you
Yeah, black mage is really mobile when done correctly
Is there a search function to find him by name?
The main aetherite in the major cities lets you jump servers
its in the social menu
Character creation locks? CS isn't going to give you anything for that. That system is automated based on server population. They're gonna tell you to purchase a server transfer or wait until the server unlocks.
For the DRN/potd resistance relic step, which is generally faster?
POTD, assuming you're also chasing after the floor 200 achivement
but for DRN it depends on if people have essenses and the right actions to make runs fast
If you get an organized crew, they might be equal, since POTD is only guarenteed at around 150+
Or well, close to guarenteed
Curious about the PS3 to PS4 redeems key validity, anyone know much about this?
Long story.
that... might be discontinued
I don't believe you can redeem PS3 keys for a PS4 copy anymore.
Yeah, it was automaticallt bumped to PS4 on Mog.
Curious about Brothers entry.
how do people anticipate which worlds/servers will be preferred?
Do they usually update the level boost at the start of the new expansion?
SE deliberately obfuscates player counts for servers, so we have to take their word for it.
@leaden ginkgo yes
Curious if Free Trial Client would allow login as normal, since Mog updated his console version.
Can always try
do they extend the new player status icon requirements for each expansion release? ie, to lose new player status after EW, you have to beat ShB?
yes
Aye, its 3am, shall see in morning. 😄
was that an answer to me?
yes
hey no shitposting here
how's emerald ex' called in the friend list?
friend list?
so as soon as EW hits, then everyone becomes a "new player" again?
the location for the instance
or is that once you lose it, you lose it
yess
should be ||castrum marinum?||
When you lose it, you lose it
If I die to some other unexpected event happens and my DPS rotation go die, I usually don’t try to fix it right?
Like for MCH, after I can continue my rotation I just kinda Just wing it?
Anyone who's not a new player now will not magically become a new player with EW
i have question, can i spam tower at paradigm for the gear? i hear the raid have weekly limit
cause there is a msq dungeon that has very similar name
You don't get sprout if you're in ShB when EW drops
One obtained drop a week
I see, ty for info
Depends on the job, most of them is about getting buffs back up
I was thinking if some stuff come off cool down early, do I don’t use them and wait for them to line up to do an opener?
castrum marinum drydocks? aight thank you.
I see, you mean line up buff back with raid buffs?
No, personal buffs
Like, if you die on DRG, you start over with the Chaos combo for Disembowel
kk
just reached lv 60 on the free trial, currently going through the msq to start heavensward, is it worth buying the full game now to remove the level & gil cap?
I would personally not buy full game until you complete MSQ or you want the social features
uhh youre pretty overlevel
you could buy the game and pick up samurai or red mage since they both start at 50
Because you probably still need about 10 hours? On MSQ. And after you buy Full Game you need to pay subs
more than 10
Yeah, but if money isn’t an issue you should buy the game when you want
So finish all the msq until I can start the heavensward msq then buy it?
pick up a new class so you dont waste exp
Actually I think until you complete HW and post HW quests
But yeah, this is just money efficiency wise
If you got the income and you're enjoying your time with the game, I'd recommend buying
Yeah, I would personally choose to buy when I find a FC or friends I like, and want to join them
Could probably slam a new class through dungeons ez too. But, I'd myself level them post-purchase.
for reference 60 is what youre meant to be at the END of heavensward
Since the trail version’s social functions are significantly limited
makes sense I guess, all of the post arr msq only gives you like 8000 xp
Yeah, but all this is assuming you play FF as a single player game, and free trail is no different from Full game
i would stress that being 10 levels overlevel is inefficient for exp
Guys what is the "Cross hotbar" in the HUD?
Controller Hotbar
won't it eventually even out?
I personally consider it not as a super big deal.... but yeah, HW MSQ is like at least 10 free levels
well by the time you finish heavensward you would probably be almost 70 and then by the time you finish stormblood you would be like halfway to 80
I mean, I never did any grinding the whole time I'm playing the free trial, just did the MSQs as they come
all exp which could have been soaked by a lower level class to level it up faster
But if you delay buying Full Game for a month, you can use the sub money to buy a level boost
Since a month of game costs 12, and I think level boosts are only 5? Never bought them before.
level boosts are 25$
yikes
and not recommended for your first class
A basic sub is only $13/month
Yeah
Or if you're Bri'ish, somewhere between £7-8
so on free trial if i start HW at around 54/55 itd be optimal?
HW is meant to be started at 50 but its fine if youre a bit above
In Australia it's like $16 ffs
So I'm a DRG now, any suggestions as to what class I shouls try next?
whatever looks cool
what do you want in your next job~?
What's a beginner friendly tank/healer?
whm
Can you do Eden 9-12s in the wrong order now?
I levelled a SMN till lv 51 with quests... But I'm having some toughts and I want to change the class already QQ
@ripe hound no
I see, I have to clear 9 to do 10 right?
if you want the loot yes
I should unlock crystal tower or it was crystal something before heavens ward right?
If I don’t care about loot can I enter 10 if I never cleared 9?
levelling sucks until 15, then u can do dungeons
you can
sure but whats the point then
Oh cool
Crystal tower is required story content now
So at some point it'd make you do it anyway
If my goal is to just find a static, it’s really recommended to start at 9s?
Fucking yes, I tought I was the problem
working on the crystal tower prerequisites now
ohh okies
why are you doing savage if you dont care about loot
You can blaze through level 1-15 by doing the hunting log and fates
No I mean, jumping into a party proofing 10s will be problematic right?
if u enjoy dungeons levelling is amazing, but POTD just kinda sucks..
For mount, perhaps
Takes maybe an hour, if even
Since the party still needs to clear 9 every week

I don't even know how to unlock PotD xd
Don't know what it is, I'm Free Trial atm
and most statics require you to know fights up to a certain fight
I just finished ARR story btw, fought Gaius in the 1 hour long video raid -.- Holy
Palace of the Dead is a special deep dungeon
oh, me too its just like a little dungeon thing
Idk how veterans do that
Hunting log, fates, and the guildhest first time clear bonus isn't too bad either for 1-15. Still kinda tedious though.
@latent zephyr with netflix
It used to be skippable at one point.
im just about to finish ARR too aha
There's a quest in gridania called the house that death built
The raid ppl told me that too XD Netflix all the way ahahah
i did it every day for a few weeks when i was working on my anima weapon
Netflix Roulette
Guys, there was a freaking chicken in my raid and everytime there was a serious cutscene there was... THIS CHICKEN
I COULDN'T
Welcome to ffxiv
theres frog costumes too
Lots of EXP now tied to MSQ roulette D:
I did the Nier raids with "Shrek Onions" wearing a frog head
lel
I had Shaggy Rogers in prae and CJ from San Andreas in leviathan.
I should go do my seasonal events
People like to dress up in silly costumes
oh shit you saw shaggy
I'm using my 0,0001% power


Yeah it was hilarious. Good on him for letting us get some gameplay in and not instantly clearing
What are the most common duties people do for the tank mount achievements?
ARR EX
on controller I started running automatically — just straight.. but forget how I did it.. does anyone know?
garuda ex was super common
ARR ex solos count iirc
@leaden ginkgo pushing forward and pressing left bumper
Ty
I did the great hunt ex lol
any way to check what features i have left to unlock through the blue side quests?
How THE HELL can you play on a controller with 10000 skills
Mmh
It's easier for me to use controller tbh
Controller is pretty easy
Since I think the tank you drk achievement needs 70 exs
you need like 300
You have access to 3 hotbars really easily
I meant lvl 70
Mmh I should try it out then. I was born with Playstation 1 lol
oh
Sorry lol
there's 2 achievements sets for the tank mounts
one that requires 61+ content, and one that just wants extremes/raids
gnb is the only one that the two set of achievements is for 61+ content
Do trusts count towards the achievements?
yes
Oh good. Might be more inclined to do those
Well, guys I go to sleep, night! ❤️
Can anyone tell me what a static is?
just a group of people who regularly meet up to do content, usually extreme/savage/ultimates
oh ok that makes a lot of sense
nope
For solo instances? Nah
where can i go unlock the new custom deliveries?
charlemend is unlocked in the firmament
does anyone have a list of the standard controller keybinds~? i have a friend starting the game tonight and i wanna be able to help them around, but im on pc c:
wym keybinds
valid question 😂
Most, if not all, button prompts for controller are displayed on the screen
i mean like, if i need to show them how to open their character panel, or how to access their system settings, and that kinda thing.
left start button
Press option
oh! okay perfect, nvm then c:
North face button will open maps, West face button works like your right click when you have a target selected
East face is your confirm, South is your cancel and jump
yall are awesome
tysm!!
There are some hidden (?) combination
Specifically the shoulder + joystick click
I think one combination hide all UI
!faq controller
should probably just link this
The other goes into first person view
Is there any real benefit to changing a retainers class into a job (i.e thaumaturge into a black mage)?
outside of letting them equip job specific gear, not really (or you're not going to be leveling that class up for w/e reason i.e you want to change them from thm to like dancer or whatever)
No, it only allows you to equip artifact gear
it prevents the internal pain of looking at "lvl 80 thm"
Alright, thanks for the answers.
Probably not direct answer for your question, but still good to know.
I relevel my retainer from 1 to 70 in around 25 days before Shadowbringers come out so they can use my DRK gear
is there a way to track someone on your friend list on the world map if you're in the same zone?
any gear i should get for samurai before going into heavensward msq? I just have rhe starter level 50 samurai gear
okies thank you!
there’s this npc with a big green sprout icon above their name — similar to the noob sprout I have.. called The Smith.. are they sort of like a guide?
Ah ok
Do it for a exp boosting ring
what stats is samurai focused around?
strength
If you get the premium companion app subscription and a second character do you get the benefits on that one too?
It should be account wide benefits
I heard companion app is not worth it at all lul
you get an extra half off destination
So both characters would get an extra retainer/chocobo saddlebag?
theyre not open to visitors
ah i see thank you
Premium plan features may be used by all characters on the same service account.
Ok yeah thanks
The hall of novice scenarios are good for learning game mechanics tbh
so I was a free trial player for awhile then I burnt out on the game and when I switched computers I didn't carry over the launcher but now I got the urge to play again but when I downloaded the official launcher it wants me to either make a Square Enix account or sign in with my current one to either pay for the game or make a new free trial which I don't want since I already have a free trial account but I don't know how to access it now
The rewards are really cool too — it’s giving me much better items than I have
!faq freetrial
so DPS should usually try to attack from behind?
I've heard people mention that MCH was terrible and now it's amazing. Does this apply to trial players too?
@leaden ginkgo just dont stand in front of the boss
Ok ty
if youre a melee hit your positionals
if i have almost all 530 gear, is there any reason to hold onto the X of Lost Antiquity stuff anymore?
for alts
ohhh good call~ tysm!!
Squadrons. Do they always stay the class and never take a job (ie, they don't go from CNJ to WHM)?
can the game /alarm sound be change?
is there a way to have the appearance of certain armor be used?
even if it’s not equipped?
but keep the stats of a better item
Correct.
!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.
!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.

Glad to help
Where do I get a flame chocobo issuance from? It says I need seals but how do I get them
The quest gives you seals
AFAIK
The main story quest does
If not, an easy way is doing GC hunts(in the hunt tab)
Do I just exchange the seals with the flame guy?
The quartermaster on the far right yes
i’m new how do i pull boss?
nvm he asked
where do i find decipher and dig icons again?
general tab of actions and traits
They're both "actions" though if that's what you mean
i dont see it
Are you sure you have them?
Can you send a picture of the tab?
general
Should be here
the only thing in training that threw me off a lot was the gate, so it’s common to have to close off enemies from entering the gate by pulling a lever?
oh found it thanks
Is there any point to Aeolian Edge on NIN? It's only 20 more dmg than Armor Crush with combo + positional taken into consideration plus Armor Crush gives 30s to Huton
There are times when you may need to interact with something, but it's not necessarily for that nor is it super common
It's just something to keep in mind
Ok that’s good to know. Does the game tell you if there is something you need to interact with?
After ARR these kind of interactions become less common
Thanks btw
It'll be a shiny thing with a name usually
Ok
And yes there would be a text indicator to let you know it can be used
On the dungeon thingy there should be yeah, like on the quest tracker but on the dungeon below it's timer there is a progress bar
Ok so I equiped my black mage stone and all my skills got put randomly on my hotbar
Wtf
....
Yeah that's cuz gamecode
New job, new hotbar
It'll do that every time you go from a class to a job
Takes it as a different entity
Potato coding, not much u can do other than take it off to see where everything was at, then putting it back on
@shy kindle you only use armor crush to refresh huton
It's really annoying that it's a feature lol
so does the map location on Elite Marks mean nothing half the time or am I just impatient?
oh and just so I know before going into one. What happens if you die in a dungeon? Do you have to run back from the beginning or do you have to release your soul or how does it work?
your healer raises you
The elite marks spawn randomly across the maps on like... 20-30? Different positions
so just wait for healer?
On a set timer after being killed
ok
You release, start from beginning, take the "shortcut" (its some rays of light) if u can
kk, time for me to run around searching I guess. ~_~ ty tho
hopefully I won’t die but still >.< thank you
Are you doing the weekly one or trying to do A/S ranks?
You get a notice in your chat if it's close by, so just grab a map of the spawn points and fly around them until it says something
just the weekly atm. I'm overleveled for the area so I should be alright
B ranks can be soloed on level
If stats are getting squished, does that mean my tank HP wont be 172k anymore?
yes
Probably stupidbad player question but like I'm genuinely confused and I do not understand why does it feel like other people get attacks out way faster I'm hitting the skills as they each go off but ill see other people couple of moves ahead in the rotation even tho im hitting them off as they roll around
Yeah, there’s a site with maps of the possible locations if you’re unfamiliar with them. Might save you circling randomly
Like I'm sure my numbers are garbage but I really do not understand how I could be hitting the buttons and rotations any better than this I'm sure there's ways but like I don't see it
No questions are stupid here, ask away
what class are you
Sam
whats your sks
1134
and youre weaving and doing your rotation correctly?
Also I don't know if it means anything but I made a 30 second clip thing
Although I should probably make a better one so I can do positionals but
1134 is just below the next sks tier
Also it depends on what you mean by pressing skills as they come up. If you wait until the GCD is 100% complete before touching the button, you’re adding slight delay each time. You want to ‘queue’ it up just before the GCD completes
Whats the minimum amount of players you'd want to bring for Zonureskin maps? I am guessing you don't actually need 8?
How fast is your GCD recast time when you have both SAM buffs up?
@coral sequoia technically 2
4 is minimum for comfy and speed, but on maps, the more, the merrier
Should I always save Triplecast for movement mechanics?
no
hmm, if you were to do the hypothetical "2" party, guessing you would need a dps that can tank, or a tank... plus a healer?
Short answer: no
Long answer: it depends, sometimes you gotta use it to weave even more shit that u have to weave in order to not get like 3 clips and you only get 1 clip
a tank and a healer
I see. Thank you
Don't have either at 80 this expansion xP so guess Ill keep looking for people.
I checked the party finder, but like 80% of the groups looked like weird spam for 18+ discord chats, gambling, and feet pictures
did you click the treasure map tab
Please report said feet pics, also, for Zonureskin, it is recommended to be lvl 80
the monsters inside the map portal do hit hard
its not against tos if its for gil
That PF is in every data center...the person selling them cannot transport gil from one DC to the other, so im afraid its RMT
On every data center?
yes?
Then you cant do with only 2 people im afraid
Do you have an FC or group of friends that u can call for?
@finite topaz Yeah, I said that I wouldn't be able to since I didn't have a tank or healer. That was what my comment was about
On PF the basic rules for maps are: Host needs, everyone else greeds on drops
How do I make a gear set switch macro
Don’t just look in the party finder, make one. It’s simple enough
just drag your gear set onto your hotbar
you want to switch gearsets multiple times at once?
cant
For RP purposes?
I will delay them with a <wait.1>
I probably will. I've been asking in our novice network if anyone was interested but no hits so far.
My friends don't play, and I can ask my FC but I haven't really talked to them in almost 2 years lol. (I was not playing)
you mean like
I use the macro
you want to equip 1 then wait then equip another
Is it glam or equipment?
type /gs change X where X is a number to change to that gearset
Hmmh... you can in theory create different gearsets(there is a limit on how many u can have)
And macro target them in the order u want
Alright thanks
I saw this transformation macro, and I just wanted to know the command, appreciate the extra help though
Wait, is it possible to do the same with glam plates?
I think so
you can specify which glamour plate to apply by putting the plate number after the gearset number
so if you wanted set 1 plate 2 it would be like /gs change 1 2
About two seconds it looks like
youre just under the 2.08 gcd
I need to know exactly how much tho
What about just a plate change
How does one even accurately track that
Do your combo, then mouseover
Your GCD on SAM will depend on your gear
Are you using shifu as your second GCD?
One of your weaponskills
people find out the tiers with math
Yeah that's what guides tell me to do
Mouseover one of your weaponskills, and tell me the recast time
@leaden ginkgo there isnt one afaik
Alright thanks
2.11
That aint bad... it aint optimal, but it aint bad
Are you using the dummy rotation?
!faq samrotation
its between sks tiers
you need to pick a tier
Yeh, but before picking a tier i want to know why they feel that they're too slow
Could a group of 4 get away doing Zonureskin maps, with no tank, but with healer?
Well I was doing another Duty and the other samurai was getting stuff out way faster than I was Plus in general I'm pretty sure I'm garbage
You need a tank still
@coral sequoia unlikely
@finite topaz we have a healer, just not tank
are you doing your rotation cojiro
My bad, brainfarted
Yeah I have a rotation that people have told me and I have used guides
@scarlet sandal are you on PC?
are you doing the rotation we just linked
I would love to parse but PS4
Huh so you cannot see for yourself...
... hmmmhh
are you doing the rotation we just linked
Higabana first looks like the one ive learned
Listen, here is the thing, its not the speed at which you put shit out
@scarlet sandal i suggest reducing your SkS to the 2.14s tier, its kinda slower, but its the strongest one
also the fact that samurai just doesnt really weave outside of its burst
which can make it feel slow
Also the other guy may have been freestyling
It's like I just wish I could genuinely know if I was actually doing good or not like a my passable I might be but I don't know
Which is why you see em pull out shit faster than u
do the balance rotation
if youre doing it
then youre most likely good
if youre not
then you probably arent
Watch the aggro bar too
aggro bar isnt a good determination of dps
Thats the most u can do since u on console
Well, between 2 SAMs it would at least shed some light
not really
So I don't know what current ilvl gear is this patch, how does the 510 crafted gear compare?
Are you on a TV or monitor with your PS4? It’s not the world of difference but TV’s will have more input lag which can add delay vs someone on a 4ms response time monitor
because for all you know the healer could be higher on the aggro bar than both of the sams
@coral sequoia max is 530
510 is entry level
Max iLVL is 530, the crafted iLVL 510 is a "pick-up" gear to head into Savage on either week 1/just hit 80
oh, so its not too far off then
Yeh, but just compare yer aggro between you and the other SAM
vanu vanu mount
It's a big TV
How does one lower sks then tho
Melding SkS materia
with gear and not melding sks
why is there no voice in most cutscenes? im in the basegame currently, no expansions. most voice is very rare
Budget
Do class quests stop at level 30?
ARR was made in a super tight deadline
@fading aurora they go to 70
After it, most important cutscenes have voiceover
so there's not much voice acting in it. With the post arr and expansions, voice acting becomes much more common
Sidequests and blue quest also tend to not have Voiceover, and if they do, its very little(like Eden's)
so I haven't played in awhile and I think this is new but what does the ALL thing above my hp mean?
eden only has voice acting in the actual fights
So depending on your TV, the combo of lower FPS and higher input lag could be adding fractions of a second on top of your inputs. It isn’t really a metric you can measure without being on PC though, make sure it’s on game mode if it has it.
can you get resistance weapon again I think I deleted my WHM one also I'm on 1st step 😦
Targets for console targetting i believe
ShB?
yes
I think you just need the poetic to get it the thavnarian sand
How does one login without having to use the OTP?
And get it again... but fuck i've never deleted it so im not sure
You disable it
If you never enabled it, then u dont have to
I'll go check 😦
I'm using an alternative launcher, could be the reason
@brazen cypress have you ever set the OTP?
I registered, do I disable it in the mog settings?
Yes, but i strongly discourage it
But you do disable it in the mogstation, somewhere there i forgot about 
Is account hacking common?
I just use a secure password, OTP for playing a game is a bit OTT for my tastes
do you the npc name by any chance
No, it only happens when people put their info into not-FFXIV obvious scam physing website
One of the Anas in Mor Dhona
does the armoury xp bonus show up as a buff on your character?
aight, thanks
no sleeping
it doesn't show anywhere on my ui
k ty
so you just have it without the game showing you?

is the ixali a playable race
no
ah ok ty
On mogstation it says that my game region is Europe & Other Regions, will a code from a Europe code upgrade my game to the full version?
yes.
just an item level cap.
Any idea how long it will take me to reach level 50 from 37 I really want to play dark knight
though i think the cap for Zonureskin map dungeons is now the same as max ilvl currently.

Heyyy anyone have a good guide on how to get better Triad cards? I want to slaughter those NPCs
Sounds like you're working through MSQ. Going to have to get that done first
also ^
I've done every msq up to the level iam at
And class quest
Do I need level 50 msq to get dk?
If you can't unlock it now, you're still not in HW
I don't have any level 50 characters so I can't unlock it
Correct
@deft parcel the gold/mythril/dream/Imperial packs have a lot of decent 3-4 stars in them to help build a starter deck.
Yes
Oohh where do I get those
from the triple triad trader NPC in the gold saucer
Is ARR the only "expansion" where you can do optional dungeons DURING the MSQ?
at the desk where you can do the mini cactpot
Ahh tbhanks
pretty sure you can do dusk vigil during the HW msq
Also Shisui of the Violet Tide for SB
I had a deck full of 1*s and the fucking NPCs I tried ti fight had like minfilia and shit
SHB is the only leveling story where all the leveling dungeons are part of the story
If you fight every NPC possible from the moment you unlock TT and get duplicate cards, does that extra MGP add up overtime?
ehhhhh
depends on the cards
generally if you're trying to get MGP by dueling an NPC you only duel one that you have a very good strategy for that wins most of the time
you don't really go for all of them
Is there a log to keep track of how many people you beat at TT?
achievement keeps track of the total
and the icon for NPCs that you can duel changes to whether you've dueled them or not
and disappears entirely when you dueled them and have all their cards. (You can still duel them)
You need to enter The Holy See of Ishgard - Foundation in order to be able to unlock DRK
You can duel NPCs as much as you;'d like, right?
Yep.
A lot of them used to have a period of activity based on the time of day but that's long gone.
The card list mentions if a card is dropped by people. Pretty sure it also mentions their location?
yep it gives their location.
You cant do anything to the TT cards to get items out of them like FF8, I'm pretty sure?
nope, just MGP
Good to keep in mind for when the Regalia makes its grand return


well this aint the place for it
