it's actually why i still sub, even though i only play like an hour to 2 a day
thats crazy lol
So you can't just buy a house and never go in it for 2 years and sit on it
i dont mind losing my plot, i just mind re-doing t he process of buying a house
i never wanna go through that again
would prefer doing 10 straight hours of tsukuyomi sync'ed tbh
could anyone link me the discord server for fates for chaos data center?
not sure where else i could ask
boss fates?
thank you
Does the starter edition come with stormblood and heavensward?
just heavensward
stormblood is with shadowbringers
Damn
I only have 20 atm should I just buy the starter edition? Or wait for a sale and get the complete edition
imo just save up for complete since the starter has the same content as the trial
why is there this random inconsistency in desynth sb ex trial weapons? like, desynth suzaku, seiryu, shinryu can give the expensive mats but not byakko or tsukoyomi?
what's the "fastest" level 60 dungeon again?
Antitower
Any idea if we'll get more crafting and gathering gear beyond more relic tool upgrades in 5.55? Want to start working on upgrading my gear but if more's gonna come not sure I wanna start working on it yet
No
5.55 is for bojza stuff
Crafting and gathering stuff has been finished since 5.3 really with Aesthete
- one thing with skysteel stuff
Cool time to start the grind of gear again for crafters and gathering. I've literally been using the i430 set pentamelded since shadowbringers launched and haven't had a need to upgrade lol
until now
What is the point of Eureka content?
Stormblood relics primarily
shining weapons for each class and shiny armor
Also has mounts, minions and glamour stuff
Bladesion
And stuff to sell for money
as well as multiple mounts, minions
Like emotes and the mounts
what emotes can you get from eureka?
Shiver
that's the only one?
The main one
Is the Savage Bozjan thing hard?
Delerum savage, kinda yes
There’s also the fistpump emote from eureka
The mechanics themselves aren't to bad...just you REALLY can't fuck up
About EX difficulty? But needs preparation?
Just about
Wait? One wipe and complete reset?
I see...
Limited raises
And you can't be hit by mechanics more than twixe otherwisendoomed
The thing that makes DR "savage" is that it's 48 players
and if you wipe, you have to restart from the beginning
Baldesion these daysnis pretty face roll cause people have elemental gear
kk
Well savage can be 24 now
Wait I mean the normal version of the 5.4 thing
I forget what it is called, 24 man DR?
yeah but in a pinch, the new actions to make it easier don't come till 5.55
Normal Delerum
Delubrum Reginae Normal
kk, Delerum Normal should be casual enough to do blind right?
Cool
should be, yeah
DR normal is basically a long 24 man
How do I know which. area I'm in in the ocean fishhing boat to know which lure to use?
most of the mechanics are easy to read
That punishes yoy for being bad
Yes
kk
Is there an optimal class for each of the roles tank/healer/dps when it comes to squadron command missions? I heard some were particularly stronger than others
Do I need to buy them off MB?
You can easily farm fragments in bojza
Not really anymore.
DR, on average, can run about 40-60 mins and using essences makes it go quicker for sure
Hello, how do I meet someone who wants to play together? Is there a specific chat or do I just ask on the general discussion?
I only have 24mil left and I’m not into housing 
Archers used to be busted as hell due to a bug but since that got fixed they’re pretty on level
I guess I should go get some cheaper ones
Buying gets them easier but you can just easily farm them
Is there a guide for how to farm those lost skills?
How do I know which area I'm in in the ocean fishing boat to know which lure to use?
Ah rip my archer dreams :>
could someone fill me in about those diamond ex weapon 525 is worth getting or just get 530 ones? Am I missing something?
Bloodsucker warrior and murder stuff for what you need
I just can’t remember what enemies drop them... all the Fates in Bozjan?
Get diamond weapon...you cant augment Cryptlurker weapons without savage now
Fates are trash for anything except mettle
I assume Savage is much harder than Extreme?
Yeah, EX can be pretty easily cleared in PF, savage require much more work if you don’t have a static
Especially extremes this expansion
They've been...real snooze fests
Especially the weapons
Is Diamond Ex really easy?
Yes
I done it yesterday, it's very forgiven
lol
I personally found Wolex quite hard
Probably because it’s the first EX I did in Shadowbringers
There's only 1 mechanic and that's only cause people can't count
did peope hate hard version of dungeons? thats what SQEX doesnt make aynmore?
I think people just didn’t care, and Hard version of dungeons didn’t seem much easier to make than a brand new dungeon
Yeah, I do think it can work if we revisit some old dungeons?
Diamond weapons are pretty ugly imo lol isn't the next relic line 535?
Yes
Use diamond for alt jobs and while waiting for relics
Just face roll the keyboard through the fight
Grinding one dozen of Diamond can be done in a week, so yeah
Does the new 2b hair work on viera
I did facerolled, I end up falling off the platforms
lol
Take 3 guesses (no)
Fml rip me
What about possible savage raid level dungeons?
I don’t think we ever really do high difficulty 4 man dungeon anymore
Only one is 4 man Monster Hunter I think
I have never done any savage since ARR Turn 4-5... are they the same level of difficulty? I'm trying to recall back in the days.
They've evolved
Im currently lvl 48 and need to level up for the msq. Already done my hunting log and daily level roulette. After that whats the best way to grind xp quickly?
Aurum vale
The only thing I remember from Turn 5 is the dive bomb thing where my raid used the strat of standing on the low pixel to dodge it, but we keep failing so we give up
And ignoring queue time
There are more alternatives at higher level, but nothing will beat dungeon (again, ignoring queue time)
!faq altlvlguide
any recommened videos for beginner machinist?
Weskalber
weskalber
there we go just wanted a name ahha
There you go
Run dungeons with your FC friends
That's fine
Yeah it’s understandable, a lot of my friends did the same as well
i mean
It’s like 10 pulls from a gacha game... but everything is pretty cheap is you calculate with gacha money
this pandemic has had me save a ton
It's just one lunch meal from fast food restaurant sub for a 30days game time
I will try to hitch hike the next free login campaign
Yeah, make sense
plus i dont normally have many bills and i work full time so yeah
im just being stingy lol
If you don't play a whole, you can always sub a month here and there
if you can pick up the game during a sale you can hold on to the code until youre ready
But obviously the disadvantage is, you cannot play whenever you feel like playing
I honestly think it’s a better experience with free trial since you go through a lot of the content in the way it was intended to be
What Cerberus said
What are the conditions for losing Road to 70?
Character older than 90 days and world is no longer Preferred
90days after character creation if server loses preferred
That's when it was janky and kinda bad
I see
Machinist wildfire is their burst
And it was affected by both weaponskill and abilities
There is nothing wrong with choosing to play an easy job right?
No
Like, it’s still possible to be more than a “filthy casual” if I choose to play an easy job right?
On top of that, MCH had a RNG based combo
And if you can play any job at a really really high level you can be good?
Yup
Dancer randomness can be predicted
I see
Play SAM :^)
1 and 2 are guarenteed and it doesn't feel as bad as MCH
Dancer proc cannot happen if you don't press that skill, and the randomness doesn't chain
But yeah, I just kind of realized, wow I really love MCH 5.x
where 1 can get a 2 and 2 can get a 3 and you can go 2 to 3 without needing to proc 1 and
kk
yeah no its dumb
On top of not happening by itself (like Bard), dancer proc doesn't cancel combo
So it is much more manageable, despite having more random moving parts
Like I don’t even like the aesthetic of MCH that much, but I really really like the gameplay
Feels like a Chicago Typewriter, where you just click all the button together at once and win
(Ok not really together, but yeah)
I wish my ping was more stable so I could do the Hypercharge burst window consistently
With dancer, you just evaluate every move by the opportunity cost of losing the other.
I see
In dancer's case, assuming 1 proc 3 and 2 proc 4, and 1 combo into 2
kk
You can do combos like 1234, or even 12314
For some reason I’m having trouble putting DNC’s buttons onto my hotbar...
There are too few buttons so my hotbar kinda stopped functioning
You only need to spend your 3 and 4 procs before you press 1 or 2, they don't need to pressed right away
kk
so is MCH difficult?
New to the game, just started fishing and currently have a decent inventory of it, what other skill uses fish so that I could use the fish I have now and knock two birds with one stone? Or should I just sell them all?
or very specific comboing needed?
MCH has no randomness
No, just press a lot of button and need good ping
The only dps* class I’ve seen go horribly bad with button pressing so far is BLM
I would definitely consider MCH to be the easiest job as a MCH main
ayyyy PS5 and ethernet 😄
You press the most amount of buttons in game, but it feels extremely chill
I don’t think any job press more buttons than MCH
Monk
Monk GCD is on a different tier
Monk still have quite a lot of OGCD right?
Not too much
But yeah, Monk is definitely the contender
lol i want a job i only need to press 2 buttons 😛
Also how was new Monk?
WHM
Try DNC or RDM
Right and WHM
lol i was gonna do WHM as my healer
New monk is okay, but it is obvious that it is being made as the foundation of 6.0 Monk
I see
and RDM is one of my fav classes in FF series so deff make one of those
plus the utility of having a raise as a DPS is awesome
there's no survival manuals thats for lvl 70 and up gatherers right?
Also am I weird / bad for feeling like AST is a really hard job?
Like, I have all the healer job I need to do, while also need to manage cards as a ogcd “DPS” thing
ah coolio, was worried for a second xD
I don't remember where to get them though
Most people would say that AST is the 'hardest' to pick up because its a lot to pay attention too compared to the other two healers
ast is just the busiest
Like while playing AST in 5.x, I just felt so stressed out, and everyone was like 5.x healer is soooo boring
AST has more to juggle
just weave your cards between your dmg spam
So it takes practice to keep track of all these stuff
Also I think it’s because AST haven’t lost DPS skills since 4.x, since AST only had 3 damage skill anyway
i found em. looks like its for 300 scrips at The Firmament
I always forget to use cards
Yeah, I guess in a way AST is also chill, because you can always weave one ability between every cast
@ripe hound personally, I strongly recommend making a separate hotbar, put your key cooldown there, and has it work like a car dashboard
You don't press the skill on this hotbar
I should really up AST before Sage comes out
i have that above my crossbar on my controller
Yeah, I definitely should have. I also think having my hotbar too small hurts a bit
really helps with the longer cooldown buffs/attacks
also ast has plenty of instant casts to weave between

AST cast time is 1.5s
As in, I have 6 hotbars on the bottom lol
So they can weave in between spellcast
Yeah, I do like AST’s 1 spell 1 ogcd feel
While other caster, for optimization sake, want to do normal cast + insta cast + ability
I’m probably just having most trouble on the select target part
As in, as AST, I have to constantly select targets
And I use mouse click to select....
I really should try to bind party member to hot keys
use F1-8
Select targets?
is WHM/healer in general, easier with M+KB for selecting party members?
What Cerberus said
i feel like i might struggle on controller
Ok I’m confused with the job system I believe I’m only level 18? But I’m just confused with it. When should I be worried with other jobs? Are jobs specific to one class? When do I even unlock them?
Yeah, just clicking party then boss every time I need a card
On controller, it should take you no more than 4 dpad press to get to your party member, even in a 8 players party
Whenever you want. The base classes unlock with "so you want to be a X"
@minor apex ARR classes upgrade into jobs
Wait... can I bind d pad on keyboard...?
you can pick up other jobs whenever you want
I should try to apply cards with d pad on keyboard lol
@ripe hound no
Ah ok
its for controller
!faq newplayertips
is just highlighting on dpad enough
Read this
Soft targetting helps a lot in casting one skill on a different target quickly
I mean wait, I can bind d pad to keyboard!
or do i need to select with X before i cast
If you don't select with X
I’ve been doing it to minor adjust UIs!
the highlight means youre targeting them
That's soft targeting
Oh no
Which means you will snap back to your original target
Yeah that won’t work for me then...
Once you use 1 skill on your soft target
Wait, it still allow you to use 1 skill?
Does war still have the highest hp pool out of all tanks?
What job should I get for thaumaturage?
Soft targetting is good for many different cases
oh so hard target my tank
That gets black mage
and soft target my others
so you will be a black mage as thaumaturge
Is there anyway to soft target with keyboard?
Ok thanks!
Hard target boss to do Dps, soft target if you need to squeeze in 1 quick heal
Other than dpad
That I do not know
Yeah... probably not
I bind my number keys on the right as a fake d pad, the key settings in FF14 somehow allows it, and I use it to move UI
I’m now thinking if I can bind some more buttons I can reach with my left hand as dpad up and down...
how do i talk in instance chat
/P
I want to tell this guy he did well
Does warrior have the highest hp pool out of the rest of the tanks?
Oh ok ty
/p is for party
that makes more sense
Obviously hard target your tank if you need to heal them hard
@remote lintel I read somewhere that warrior has 25% hp increase from the class perks
this tank as a sprout like me and they did so well I wanted to message him saying so. After the dungeon, but it’s telling me he doesn’t exist
They probably left the party
Different world
warrior can temporarily increase its health using a skill
Yeah you can’t message anymore after the dungeon ends
I just wish I could let them know
emphasis on temporarily
I think the party disbanded and as others said.. maybe on another world? :/
Check your Contact ui
Can you /tell people on other worlds if they are not PFing?
And their name should be on there
Oh wait you can /tell contacts?
also you could have just commended them
/\
although they wont know its from you but eh
I did commend them will they see I did?
They will know they get commendation from party member
But they won't know who
Unless everyone commend the same player
as long as they know they did well that’s cool
is spamming ct raids faster to get loathsome? done a few ce and got no drops :(
Currently, rules for savage is you can enter any floor you want even if you haven’t clear any of them, but you can only get loot from 9-12s once a week right?
And doing CEs makes it spawn faster
No
If you skip a floor you forfeit loot
whooa castrum gives 5 loathsome?
nice tyyy
I see, so if for whatever god forsaken reason I want to do 12s as a party of 8, can we all enter 12s if none of us cleared 9-12s before?
Someone would need to have someone with access to 12 que them into it
I see, thank you
So they can then que everyone else into 12
Why some quests say "Quest Sync"?
Also, if 1-4 person got their chest this week, you only get 1 chest for the floor right?
Yes
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
thoses are quests that will sync to your level
@wheat plume they scale up in level
Thank you
within a range however
I always wonders what items are missing if you did a floor with only 1 chest
Its 50/50
I see, random roll?
What's the use of that in quests with just talking and no battles?
kk
Ome chest randomly spawns
One and two chest just means more rolls
you still get exp from the quest itself
kk
You won't see "this will only appear on chest 2"
But why Quest Sync in quests with no battles?
You can do those to kill time while waiting for dungeon
So the rewards scale
It is just exp sources
Got it, thank you
because the reward of the quest depends on what lvl you are
For your level
Nice, thxs
Side quests don't always have battles
It can be a simple delivery
Or even just asking you to check in on a family member
If I really don’t want to do Dungeons or Deep Dungeons for leveling, it means I have Fates, Bozjan Fates, Beast Tribe quests, right?
Yeah
kk
If I make party to dig a map, the treasure goes only to first player who opens the chest?
No, it goes to the map owner
Only they can open
But, iirc, party member get some rewards too
yes they do ^^
Then inside the treasure dungeons, only map owner can Need the loot
It didn't happen like that to me, it was my map and my friend opened it and the ítems went to him.
Everyone else can greed
also another question: is there any up to date guides on Gatherer's lvl 70-80 rotations when farming for collectables?
Same rotation
!faq dolcollect
Wait only the person who used the map can need?
got it thank you
Inside the treasure dungeon, yeah
No
Oh yeah, I missed that line lol
Everyone can need
??
People just set their own loot rules
Yeah, I think so
why did I come here
Verbally
Ahhhhh
Everyone can need
Ahhhh
lol
Wow, I have gotten brain washed
oh right hello so I wanted to ask if there's a list of kupo's commands somewhere
After so many years of treasure hunting
I remember being super afraid of Misclicking when I farm Maps with FC
So how can I make to keep the ítems if it's my map?
Its a honor system
I definitely have enough time to level PLD to 80 for endwalker right?
@ripe hound yes
You have like 6 months
Nicelol
For reference, once you got into lvl 40+, give or take
7 dungeons is about 2 levels+ of exp
You can kill enemy on the map
I’m just fundamentally burned out on dungeons...
And still be level 80
was that answer to my question? XD
Yes
Yes, Khell
What's honor system?
Yeah, I guess even just doing fates, getting to 80 in 6 month is easy lol
People acting like gentlemen
You trust others will follow the rules set
Basically just be nice
is there a way to login a ps4 trial acc into pc or nah?
No
Gentlemen's agreement
ah, ok, we all were ignorants about that lol, thxs
Trial is for that device
I see, thanks
whatre these 3 things that Im missing?
@ripe hound take a break for now
Can you move a trail PS4 account to Pc while only buying the game for once
I just came back lol
Alexander, ilavice and warring triad
huh
_(:з」∠)_
I swear i finished them save for triad
Did you do the follow up quests?
I should never have done the experience of 3 dungeon runs an hour for 4 hours straight
And properly wrap up those stories?
It’s the same dungeon over and over again...
Just to be sure
You aren't doing lvl 50/60/70 dungeons right?
Those are no good for exp
In PS4 (not pro), is it running at 30 or 60 fps?
And “Such devastation it’s not my intention uwu”
That uwu
Nah, just daily roulette and repeated dungeon runs with fast Tank/Healer queue
i felt a great stab of pain
@wispy flare check and make sure that you actually talk to the NPC to follow up and properly wrap up those quest line
I’m fairly certain that dudes really into uwu that you can also fight him in UWU
Not gaius
This but I uwu ironically
lol
Well actually who am I kidding I unironically uwu to my lord and handsome savior bahamut uwwu
lol
IM A SUMMONER MAIN THIS
I'm legally allowed as stated in my grimiore to simply over bahamut
And not here
Man no wonder summoning died out until we canonly brought it back in eorzea 😔
Finding a casual static now shouldn’t be too hard right?
I feel like there should be people like me who got attracted back to fixing again by 5.5
Maybe
Make sense
after unlocking freeze can i just drop Blizzard 2 from my hotbar aside from level sync content?
ye, freeze replaces b2
nice they should just make it a trait that upgrades it like thunder 3 •__•
Nah, they both work fundamentally different, im afraid
But Freeze is just better
i think ima give snowcloak a run to finish it out and then go to bed
its been a long day lol
Is it possible to grind the Diamond Totems, or can you only get like one a week or something?
new player here, whats the best server to play on?
extreme fights are never weekly locked. can farm to your hearts content
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
doesnt tell me the server wiith the most active players, im in cali
is there a command for the 60 blm rotation?
FFXIV isn't really like wow where if you find yourself on a low pop server you're fucked, world visit means marketboards aren't really an issue and duty finder is cross server
the !faq blmleveling has rotations for all levels
thanks
ahhh ok ok rthanks
What can you do with the companion app?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/companion/ towards the bottom there's a list of features
Thanks!
I mostly use it to see if anything sold on the mb
Chat is "not to be confused with in-game chat" right?
If I am new to RDM and just want to learn a beginning Opener, what do I learn?
3-8 Opener: https://i.imgur.com/tSqX4V0.png
Learn 3-8 and learn others later?
Most of the openers are adjusted for embolden. With party makeup it has to be used early or later depending
For generic PF random stuff, just do 3-8 is fine right?
Yes, you're not min-maxing with a static in savage

instead of Just Wing It!
When does the loot once a week end?
Tuesday typically. You can see the timer in your challenge log at the bottom of the window
No no, I mean like, you can get as much as you want, like puppet's bunker and such
Savage will keep its weekly lock until like 5.56 or 5.58
Thank you
Tower might be a bit earlier like 5.55
Thank gosh. I was hoping to farm it for the 520 gear
late may to early november?
EW already has a release estimate of fall this year, which usually translates to September/October
Mid-late June/Early July is my personal estimate/guess for 5.56/5.58
To use patch 4.5 as an example, 4.55 came out early-mid February, 4.56 was late March, and 4.58 was early May.
well yeah, but covid.
You can kind of time it depending on the quarter. Most big game releases wait for q3
Where can I pick marauder class up at?
in limsa, upper decks
Thanx
Did I get this set when I got Soul of the Samurai or what...? I kinda just had an unnamed armour thingy and opened it and got this, and I dunno where it came from.
And I only just noticed I had it
Damn. I'm dumb.
Yes you should really pay attention to your quest rewards...
Thanks!
random question
when putting stuff in your private champer how do you rotate it?
because when i do it just puts it back the way it was
You have to click it again to set it after you've rotated it
Like on the object itself
I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask in, so I'm very sorry if it's not, but would starting a New Game+ for ARR affect my progress in Heavensward? And if I didn't want to do the NG+ anymore, could I just revert my game back to my status in Heavensward or would I have to finish the NG+?
You can go in and out of NG+ at any time
You're not stuck into it and it doesn't affect your progress of where you are now
I won't interfere since it's wholly separate. The NG+ basically pauses it when you suspend it
Ah okay
ty very much 
^ kinda yeah, I'm not sure how to fully describe it
I've cleared the Cloud Deck on normal, finished all quests related to it, and talked to the Warmachina Fanatic. The console said that I've unlocked a new high-end duty, which in theory should be Cloud Deck EX, but I can't find it anywhere. I'm ilvl514. Does anyone have any idea why I can't find Cloud Deck EX in my duty finder?
High end duty
Ah, got it, thanks
you probably shouldn't be trying to do it in duty finder, though
high end duties are best done with PF
What Chocobo feed should I use for a max level 20 Chocobo?
What is the missing one I don't have? This is strange. I have all raid unlocked.
The stormblood raid it looks like
does anyone know the name of ||red girl||'s orchestrion roll?
It's like that on mine as well. Could be a placeholder icon
could it be the Nier raids
Nah it's the SB 24-man
You gotta do ALL the quests in the airship to unlock it for NG+
Yeah the uh, Prima Vista in Kugane
anyone know if i can sell a ring i just made with attached materia? or does the materia make it where i cannot sell it on the market?
As long as it doesn't say binding at the top, you can sell it if it's market sellable
The materia doesn't make things bind
thank you
strange, i dont see any quest in purple
Any
?
I went and checked as well. They were the only two for me as well. Odd that they'd need to be completed if that's the case
Hi raid question. Gonna go on a Gwibber Hunt. Should I try to get gear from Savage raid for BiS or is Augmented crafted stuff be good enough for EX?
nope, ex is eaiser than savage
normally you farm EX for savage raids
You need to do those for unlocking it in NG+
oh server down?
Woooo, I can still not do Savage

sound of the end
Thanks! Got it done
Why people say blue mage is for masochists?
I'm still a little confused on rested exp. Should I always be logging out ina major town, inget passive exp for being in major town?
Just has to be in a sanctuary
You only accumulate rested xp while in sanctuary zones (anywhere with an aetheryte), so if you want to accumulate rested xp while offline, you should be logging off in a sanctuary.
If you don't care about accumulating rested xp, then you can log out wherever.
And to be clear, "rested xp" doesn't mean you're passively gaining xp while logged out or in a sanctuary, but rather that you're gaining a bonus to xp gains until the rested bonus is used up (the green xp bar).
!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.
It is a percentage boost btw, so low level job that level up quickly will burn through it like it is nothing
It's worth more relative levels for a lower level job than a higher level one though.
Not really
It is still 1.5 level of bonus exp to claim regardless of level
You just claim it slower on high level jobs
Awesome thx for clarification yall
At the very least, never spend it on classes below level 10
On a full bar of rested xp, I've gone from about 1-24(ish) for a new job, but only 3-4 levels for a higher level one.
That's why "relative" levels.
hopefully someone can help me here. Game is bugging me right now. I don't find my command to gather collectables as miner -.-
Without said bonus, it is relatively less effort to level up a lower level job
looking at it for one and a half hour now
Have you unlocked it?
Also true.
In Mor Dhona?
I collected some before i stopped playing half a year ago
is there a new quest now ? i will check
Collectables are different now, only some nodes have them
/\
yeah was right in front of one like 5min ago
You click on the collectable you want to gather and it brings up the screen for the new minigame
The old abilities are defunct/not used anymore
kinda confused...maybe was not the right node than
Each item has a collectable version and a non-collectable version now, different ones come from different nodes, you can check the gathering guide for collectables specifically if you swap to the tab with the star on the left
Appraising system got changed
Like 2 patches ago i think?
all items that are collectables are automatically gathered as such (barring fisher which still has collector's glove)
yeah I found that out to now^^ ah I see that was the change I missed. Found a comment on a forum which said only the special nodes that appear from time to time has collectables
When leveling retainers (Botanist specifically), do I need to fully gear them up just spamming quick ventures to get xp? If so, how often?
Quick venture exp is RNG
Based on what they bring back
Personally, I'd just let them gather the highest level item they can grab
Both are 1 hour, but the direct gather has more consistency
Right, but is it weighted by ilvl or anything? I haven't had to go 1-80 on a retainer in forever, so I gotta go get them new gear if they need it
What is the best world in your guy's opinion.
I don't just have any lying around
Just buy gear from NPC is fine
Ilvl will affect the pool for quick venture, but it shouldn't affect the exp gain from normal venture
Earth
Eventually your retainers will not be able to do 18-hr ventures unless they have a high enough gathering stat, which is when you need to upgrade their gear. Before that, any gear is fine. @cedar bobcat
Mars look cozy and quiet, but I can't get good signal there
Nah like crystal aether, like that
What level for DoH/DoL should I start heading to Ishgard for levelling?
Genuinely doesn't really matter
You just need to pick data center to match your schedule
So you don't end up playing on low traffic hours and have to wait long for queue
Match making are done between World of the same Data Center
So if I wanted to visit the other worlds can I?
So there is no noticeable difference between them for the most part
In the same data center, yes
Cross data center is coming in 6.X
Dont they offer free data center transfers once in a blue moon?
I think they did a couple times
I hope queue will be faster with cross data center
they only offered free world transfers with the data center moves/split
Ahh
and ofc there's congested to preferred but the fact that we have no congested worlds atm means its moot point
Waiting for 1 Hour right now...nobody on light plays this early 😄
I meant cross data center world Visit
I don't think they have mentioned cross data center match making
-.-
So, after 6.x, making alt characters will be even less useful?
possibly
Not any significantly less
If you make alt to gear different jobs to BiS
It is still business as usual
I heard if you have 1 character you pay less for the sub.. Is it true?
Entry is the lowest you can get
You can have up to 8 characters, but they can't be born on the same world
Your price does NOT increase with the amount of characters you make, your character per server and world cap increases instead if you go with Standard instead of entry
you can have 2 characters on two different DCs and still pay the same price
Oh ok
Well put
This game allows one character to play all jobs (absolutely no race or gender locked classes) without any stat disadvantage (as stat comes from equipment)
So people rarely play more than one
Reasons you want to make an Alt:
1.You want to make a let's play series of FF14 on your YT Channel
2.You want to make a lore video series on your YT Channel
3.You're pre 6.x and want to experience the other datacenters.
4.You want to play the MSQ again from the start and see how efficient you can be the 2nd time around.
5. Housing opportunities are hard to come by on your main DC.
6. (Slightly shitposty reason) You put your main on Crystal
7. You want to replay the few quests that are NOT covered by New Game+
hi my friend is trying to make a character in the same server as I am (malboro) but the game is saying she can't make new character in the world. Does Malboro not allow any new characters?
!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.
thank you!!!!
Sometimes worlds get filled to capacity, which means no more new characters can be made there. It may be some time before a new slot opens in that world
There are people to do alts for
- maximize retainers since we can have 9 retainers per character once you pay for it
- some people bought entire ward for themselves using alts.
You have to actively set it to Entry sub btw
here you can look up the actual status of the servers and if character creation is allowed
Why is this fate outside the map?
its in its own special instance thats technically on that map
its for the hatching tide event
botany guild has a teleport NPC
The game doesnt seem to recognize that I've played well over 300+ hours of this game, so it marked me as a sprout on my alt sadly
everything is character based
it doesn't care if your account playtime is 300+ hours
Luckily, there doesnt seem to be any "lol sprout" memes or anything like that
you could turn it off
Is there a way to link the glam instead of the glammed item?
you need the glam item
wow its a shame that Repose does not stay on the enemy when you cast magic
repose is pretty useless
sleep always gets knocked off when an enemy receives damage
in previous final fantasy games, sleep would stay afflicted on enemies, as long as you didnt physically hit them, magic was OK
besides specific quest instances, you can safely unbind it
well this isn't previous FF games so /shrug
Sweats in Berserker Minotaurs in Baldesion Arsenal.
is there a way to check when your character was created?
Are crafting or gathering ever relevant from a story perspective or are they basically completely separate mechanics?
is there a way to check when your character was created?
@round juniper perhaps with /playtime
playtime only shows hours played
look up your first achievement
Are crafting or gathering ever relevant from a story perspective or are they basically completely separate mechanics?
@gritty falcon doh and dol have no impact on msq but they have their own job quest stories
Where was the option for "Do not show headgear on character" again?
ingame?
on your lodestone page
are you logged in
are there any good questlines or other things locked behind DoH/DoL progression?
Where was the option for "Do not show headgear on character if headgear is equipped"?
the button under your character in the character window
Thank you
Small thing. Anyone know why one of my pc's FF launcher icons hasn't changed from Stormblood's like, ever?
what is the fastest way to get the 15 crystal tower memories?
by pf?
Df
you could, but not really needed
it dies so quickly that making it die even quicker is not really a big gain
do you get them unsynced?
no
no
is there any upgrade to my relic weapon after that for now?
Has there ever been other 50million Gil purchasable mounts in the game available for anyone with the Gil to buy?
no
Any reason given why they started now?
people complained
probably because gil inflation really got out of control in shb
people said that their wallets were getting too big
Why did it inflate in ShB and not others?
we can attribute the gil flow to the coffee biscuit levemetes btw, people were racking like 3 millions with 100 allowances
yeah
coffee biscuits
basically.
and the other similar leves
and it's very easy to level crafting now, so there's a lot more people able to take advantage of that
and that alone is flowing millions of gil into the economy
@winged cobalt
@snow knoll has been banned by Din#0001 for the following reason:
spammer
that was some crazy shit
no kidding
gross
gross
Can arcanist que as healer or only when it's lvl 30 and I get scholar
only lvl 30, before becoming a SCH, you're a DPS(I mean SCH also does DPS, but you get the drill)
Damn I thought I could skip que times
Playing dps is like waiting in a hospital for 3 hours
💀
yeh, when i was lvling Lancer, my first job, i would just do some sidequests meanwhile
or level my gatherers/crafters
That's what I try to do but it feels so weird getting insta que as healer and 30-50 min ques as dps
i can do a dungeon with my companions/Main Char NPC?!
Only on ShB dungeons
i wonder if...
!faq trust
I'm also playing click the report button since chat is being spammed with gil sellers
huh
I appreciate yer effort 
so essentially i can do the whole dungeon solo?
Is there an indicator to know if the group is passing dps check in e11s
the NPCs are worse than regular players
ACT
Or enrage
Like how much boss% do I need by say, prismatic
Hmmh... well, below 25% is safe
ACT but don't use it to torment players etc
actually
Is it level 45 that white mage gets it's 2nf attack skill?
below 20% i believe
Spamming stone over and over isn't ideal
that's.. pretty much what whm does
This one? you spam it
can i do it unsync w them?
you spam Holy after
no
!action glare
dot thing, spam stone (glare later)
Spam Holy in dungeons adds
and holy in AoE situations
cuz Stun is fucking OP
in dungeons, you DoT whatever u can while tank is pulling, but after you stop, you just spam da Holy boi
but yeah, you're running into what is a common complaint these days, namely that healers don't have enough tools for DPS
IMO, keeping Dia is way easier, a 30s DoT is more forgiving than an 18s DoT
I always use my dot but having just 1 skill for 40 levels to attack with is so lame lmfao
Even though I find healer fun
i can't do the dungeon for ShB unsync?
you can
you get another skill to attack called Assize
you cant
it's not going to do nearly as much, though
current content cant be unsynced
ahh ok ty
Current expansion is not unsyncable
Everyone does lmao
!action assize
oh, so you can't
I'm dumb
Behold, 400 potency attack
I just assume monsters take damage from my sizeable ass as I twirl
(the heal is a collateral, use it whenever its ready and you stand to hit the most amount of mobs with it)
Also it's oGCD
Literally says "Additional effect", so its a collateral, case closed
nah keep doing the MSQ bro
white mage dungeon 101: dot everything as the tank pulls, when he posts up use your last weave window to assize > swiftcast > holy > presence of mind > holy until everything is dead
lmao just Lucid Dreaming before Holy spamming
One more thing about mp, when my tanks are bad and don't use cooldowns and have me healing them non stop because they always go to 30% how do I not run out of mana
yeah, throw in ld before pom if you need to
Reduced Enmity 
lucid dreaming
Slap a Regen on them, do not use Cure 1
use Cure 2 ONLY when it's needed
Not anymore
Oh
use lucid dreaming on the first weave window that comes up after you hit 7000MP
Lmao rip
this thing restores a ton of MP
Do people not use cure 1 at all?
it's... incredibly situational.
!action lucid dreaming
What about cure 3
Only place to use cure 1 is place like sastasha
Read it
it's not technically useless, but you really shouldn't be using it under anything but the weirdest circumstances.
!action cure iii
Why can't I get Iaijutsu? I drag it to my hotbar and get Tenka Goken.
cure iii is an aoe heal
Cure 3 heals less than 2
Iaijutsu has all 3 of them
Cuz you have a certain amount of Sen dont ya?
!action cure ii
The button will change when it’s ready
I too was confused why cure 3 was worse until I read the desc
Cure 3 heals less, but it's AoE heal (smaller)
I know what it does but do people use it or do they just use medica?
very small
I wish they hadn't called it cure 3
!action medica
!action medica ii
Medica 2 actually
I rarely use Cure 3
for single target healing, Bene>tetra weave > shield weave > lily heal > cure II
And i mean like... almost never
it's only on downtime when people are stacked together, because the range is way too small
Cure 3 is your "oh shit everyone is going to die" button
nono
cure 3 is the "oh fuck" aoe button
Also cure 3 has smol aoe range
!action afflatus rapture
if you need a weave sure
Yes but if they are spread apart does that even matter anymore
well
Medica 2 is a bigger DPS loss than Lilies, and nobody really needs that much healing
Also @fading aurora as to why the healer's DPS rotations are so basic, it's because you are a healer, you need to be able to heal on a moment's notice
I've seen 10 accounts in 1m30seconds selling gil is there a massive hack wave wtf?
That's all chat is right bow
Now*
new patch
no, welcome to ffxiv
new patch basically brings a lot of gil sellers
the enforcement of anti-rmt on non JP servers is awful
Do whm usually help dps or laser focus on heals in raids? I'm just keeping aero up
In KR they don’t even enforce it iirc
If healerse had a combo rotation, they'd have to interrupt it midway to heal, which wouldn't be pretty
keep dot up, heal when necessary, glare
Wdym?
Hmmhh...let me link a pic of how my fights go
square for the most part only cares about it when it's on JP servers or is publicly embarassing
I'm trial player don't think I get glare
other than that enforcement is 100% token "we banned 3000 accounts last week lol there's 20000 but sure"
At 60 it’s stone and assize go brr
that's more than 50%
And throw medica 2 at all problems
yeah, glare is just stone V
!action glare
or is it IV?
I have a long way to 72
Well basically uhh... you cast a lot of DPS
you do NOT heal for comfort
I mean, AST has Malific IV and SCH has Broil
you heal so they're not dead, that's it
Do healers let tanks drop bellow like 30% before they heal?
I do a lot, yeah
benediction will fix you right up qt 😗
But it's also cuz i got instaheal tools
on your low level, you do not have instaheal tools
But doesn't benediction have like a 125 seconds cooldown
Technically it’s up to your comfort level
