As someone who hasn't played the game yet....Idk what Limsa is 😅

A starting city

jolly sorrel

One of the three main cities. Considering you don't recognize the name, you can probably get ninja at level 15 🙂

@vital ruin Other way to get more nuts is to increase Enmity; so if have small party, switch to tank and make sure tank stance is on.

vital ruin
#

I was tank
Had stance on
Monster didn't load so didn't the aoe
I got aggrod and died

delicate field
#

why do ppl want nuts? is there some new stuff?

vital ruin
#

Gear

jolly sorrel
#

Nuts are the centurio seals of the new areas.

vital ruin

#

sour ruin
#

you can buy cryptlurker augments with them now

delicate field
#

what is a cryptlurker augments

faint flare
#

Upgrades Crpytlurker

#

To 530

sour ruin
#

The highest level tome gear at the moment

little swift
#

Even in large parties more tanks is fine

gloomy mortar
#

@vital ruin In that case, your only option is to run point blank to the center of where you think the mark should be and spam aoe. Also keep spamming ‘inv?’ In the chat

delicate field
#

ohhh, i see

vital ruin
#

This recent patch made it worse
PC load times got better PS4 is the same as it was
It's getting really hard

fallen axle
#

How is this palace of the dead thing? Is it good for getting some level 1 jobs past that initial 1-2 ability hump in the beginning?

vital ruin
#

How to spam inv in the chat

delicate field
#

make a macro haha

jolly sorrel
#

Just shout the same as literally everyone else is shouting in a zone.

gloomy mortar
#

@vital ruin Hit ‘return’ on keyboard, type ‘inv?’.

#

Use Yell or Shout

vital ruin
#

PS4

#

How do I make the macro

jolly sorrel
#

You can still type on a PS4 right?

gloomy mortar
#

Someone with an open space in party might invite you.

vital ruin
#

Yes but it's shit
Aslong as it's not a long sentence it's fine

#

Just inv and a "/" right?

slate arrow
#

get a usb keyboard and plug it into one of the free USB ports on your PS4

jolly sorrel
#

^

vital ruin
#

Don't wanna order in this pandemic

west spruce
#

no just type / and someone will inv u

vital ruin
#

Controller has to do

#

I'll do that

delicate field
#

plugin your pc's keyboard, make the macro and unplug it

slate arrow
#

it's literally a keyboard

#

by the time it arrives it'll be sterile

vital ruin
#

That's not the point
Don't wanna order anything atm

#

Just to be safe

jolly sorrel
#

I mean, if you don't have a proper keyboard in a game that revolves around communication, you really lose the right to complain about all those other things.

vital ruin
#

True

#

Ill try out the PF and the "/" spam

gloomy mortar
#

@vital ruin With Marks, you literally have to drop everything and go to the location once it’s announced on the link she’ll or you’ll be too late, especially if you have to transfer worlds. Right now it’s crowded with nut farmers. Before 5.5, you had a few minutes of grace period. Now, drop everything so you can join a party

vital ruin
#

Better than nothing ig

#

I c

#

Ye people barely wastes 10 seconds on a mark MiqoteDepressed

#

Is aug cryptlurker best set?

#

In terms of ilvl and stats

slate arrow
#

wdym by best

little swift
#

Its not /

vital ruin
#

Ilvl and stat

slate arrow
#

it's on par with the other 530 set but if you want maximum DPS it's a combination

#

because crit is the best substat

vital ruin
gloomy mortar
#

Hunt trains are easier than S Marks. Trains, you have 12 chances. S mark, 1.

vital ruin
#

Trains are worse on a PS4

little swift
#

ノ its that

vital ruin
#

I can't type japanese on a PS4 controller

little swift
#

Copy and paste it

slate arrow
#

just add Japanese as a keyboard in settings

vital ruin
#

Where to copy from

#

Which settings

slate arrow
#

shouldn't lock you out of other languages

#

PS4 system settings i think

vital ruin
#

I can add additional languages?

gloomy mortar
#

Also after Hunt is over, start yelling/shouting if anyone has a free space in their Hunt linkshell

slate arrow
#

I don't see why you couldn't but I don't use a PS4

#

if you can't though that's dumb

vital ruin
#

I didn't see that option I'll have a look

#

Or do I move to Tonberry

jolly sorrel
#

Playing on an asian server is simply going to bring some complications to the table, regardless. You gotta judge if the communication issues aren't more important than having less people that play during your prime time.

vital ruin
#

Trust me the queue times I've faced was very bad I can't put into words

#

Ill take communion issues anyday over that hell

#

Communication*

jolly sorrel
#

Myeah, makes sense! Then you'll have to indeed somehow figure out how hunt linkshells work over on that side of the planet.

gloomy mortar
#

Does using your Chocobo ho increase enmity on Hunt Marks?

vital ruin
#

How do I find these linkshells that only farms nuts

jolly sorrel
#

Over here, we just have discord servers, and shouting around a bit gets you invites.

gloomy mortar
#

Ask at the end of the Hunt

#

And before

vital ruin
#

I have no clue
I don't get to see the monster
When I do monster is literally surrounded by players

#

Which discord server

strange coral
analog gate
vital ruin
#

Ahh thanks

gloomy mortar
#

@vital ruin That happens when there are too many players. It happened occasionally before 5.5, now because of nut farming, it happens regularly, and will likely continue 🤦‍♀️

little swift
#

Trains typically ask you to dismiss your minions and chocobos

#

To respect people who play on ps4 and weaker rigs

analog gate
#

oh probably mentioned already, but turning off or limiting other's visual effects might help with the loading

vital ruin
#

If I lower anything more it'll look like a ps2 game

jolly sorrel
#

That's the sacrifice, yes.

vital ruin
#

Well I mean not as bad as ps2

gloomy mortar
#

So if have light party, not getting full nuts, use Chocobo with Pahsana fruit to get more enmity

vital ruin
#

I don't want enmity I'll die

jolly sorrel
#

Everyone gets enmity

slate arrow
#

you need enmity to get credit

vital ruin
#

Oh

slate arrow
#

not number 1

gloomy mortar
#

Nut amount is determined by how much enmity you accrue

slate arrow
#

but enough :p

vital ruin
#

I'll just spam aoes and hope for the best

gloomy mortar
#

That’s why you get more when you switch to tank

jolly sorrel
#

If you're alone, you're probably never going to get enough.

fading aurora
#

💀

#

But amount?

jolly sorrel
#

The rewards is decided by enmity per party, so if you get so much as a single hit in all the party enmity is added up and you can get plenty rewards.

fading aurora
#

Nut*

slate arrow
#

Hunts.

#

If you don't know what Hunts are, don't worry about it.

gloomy mortar
#

I recently did a hunt train with just 4. 2 tanks, 2 DPS, got full credit.

vital ruin
#

If I do a o/ instead of a japanese / it still counts right?

slate arrow
#

Absolutely no clue!

gloomy mortar
#

@fading aurora You get more nuts as a tank with tank stance on than a DPS.

vital ruin
#

:/

analog gate
#

i've seen people substitute / instead of the katakana in bozja, yes

gloomy ice
# fading aurora Nut*

The hunt currency for ShB zones are sacks of nuts. The amount you get is dependent on enmity generated, basically.

fading aurora
#

Getting nut just seems funny to me lmao I've never done that since I'm new

#

The sentence just sounded dirty for me

vital ruin
#

I'll just make a macro

remote lintel
#

the currency for shadowbringer hunts are called nut sacks

#

so

gloomy mortar
#

What are nuts called in Japanese?

little swift
#

You can just use auto translate too if you're having this much trouble

jade lava
#

does the level of my class matter when desynthing? not the desynth level but my actual class

@jolly sorrel Thanks for the helpful non-obnoxious response!

jade lava
#

whats some good desynth fodder?

boreal storm
#

whatever you aren't gonna use

jade lava
#

but like anything i should buy to get it up?

neat stratus
#

Is it possible to do the whole positionals as a Monk while leveling? Kinda hard to get behind all the time while I have aggro. And also, how do I know if im actually hitting the correct positions? Does the game tell you that in any way?

gloomy mortar
#

You can buy cheap fish to mass desynth @jade lava

remote lintel
#

no you cant really hit positionals soloing

little swift
#

Not if you're soloing stuff

#

!faq positional

zinc orbitBOT
#
Visual Example of Positionals and Non-Positional Target Rings
remote lintel
#

i think there is a way to tell if you hit the positional but i dont think ive ever seen it in the middle of everyones attacks going off

little swift
#

The game has audio feedback for hitting a positional

#

But I don't think that applies to monk

remote lintel
#

yeah i havent heard it

neat stratus
#

haha thats ironic

fallen axle
#

So if I do start a level 1 job again, is it better to try this palace of the dead or will the armory bonus be enough to propel me to dungeon queues quickly?

neat stratus
#

if it has audio feedback and it doesnt apply to the class that use it the most

remote lintel
#

do fates and hunting log

little swift
#

Probably so its less annoying

#

You'd hear it every 1.7s

fallen axle
#

Okay thank you! Btw would my choco get de leveled to match me?

neat stratus
#

ye i c

fallen axle
#

But his SP skills will remain the same correct?

little swift
#

Yes entering fates sync your chocobos level but not its rank

jolly sorrel
#

@gloomy mortar I was curious so I went and crossreferenced

#

It looks like Sack of Nuts is translated from モブハントの戦利品

#

Loosely it means something like.. uh.. "spoils of war from the Mob Hunt"

gloomy mortar
#

Interesting! Thanks again! @jolly sorrel 🍺 so it isn’t just the Japanese word for ‘Nuts’ @little swift

jolly sorrel
#

Not in the patch notes, at any rate. I don't actually play japanese ingame so not sure there.

fallen axle
#

Cool. I’m still torn between BLM, BRD or just waiting for MCH

twilit arch
#

afaik most of the japanese names for stuff is very straight forward/generic

little swift
#

Why am I being pinged

rose oak
#

Do I need to be resistance level 10 for the next quest in relic weapon

west spruce
#

probably? maybe even higher

gloomy mortar
#

Because I asked what was Nuts is Japanese and @little swift said “You can just use auto translate too if you're having this much trouble”

rose oak
#

Cmon

remote lintel
#

the max you need is 10

strange coral
#

Depends on which step, but you do need to be rank 10 and do DR to unlock more recent steps

rose oak
#

Bozjan is a pain...

little swift
#

That wasn't directed to you needa

rose oak
#

But I need to get to 15 and probably higher because they think that place is "fun"

little swift
#

No need to ping me

remote lintel
#

you need to do CLL and DR for the resistance weapons

#

which requires rank 10

open ember
#

also new bozja area is gonna require you do DR

#

which requires CLL

rose oak
open ember
#

because its part of the story

remote lintel
#

rank 10 isnt even hard

rose oak
#

I just hit lvl9

#

And it feel like a drag

west spruce
#

welcome to mmo I guess

twilit arch
#

this isnt a vent channel, please keep that in mind

rose oak
#

I mean I rather grind a dungeons that do fates

remote lintel
#

good news

#

you get forced to grind alliance raids/dungeons for the relic

rose oak
#

Ohh nice

#

I guessing that's the lvl 10 part

faint flare
#

Thats the current steps after doing Delerum

rose oak
#

Can I get resistance levels while I do that too

faint flare
#

Delerum gives some mettle

#

Plus a weekly quest for some.more

remote lintel
#

delebrum gives mettle now??

faint flare
#

Yes

rose oak
#

Ok not bad then

remote lintel
#

thank god

rose oak
#

So just reach 10 and passively get to 15

#

Now is all good

remote lintel
#

you dont need to do delebrum that many times

jolly sorrel
#

Has the ShB relic also been getting "nerfs" over time, like how in the previous relics the amount of light per dungeon has been upped and such?

modest igloo
#

think its 20k at rank 10?

twilit arch
#

not really

faint flare
#

Slightly

twilit arch
#

nerfs to the relic weapon generally happen once the expac is over

rose oak
#

I just wanna catch up on a relic for once

twilit arch
#

There's been a few adjustments like the drop rates from the fates but for the most part, its not been significant nerfs like the others

jolly sorrel
#

I usually waited until the "nerf" to do a relic stage in the past, but if that isn't happening here, may as well get started on it

I'm going to be without a PC for a while and I'm wondering how does the game play on a PS4 Pro ? I played at semi-max settings on pc, is the graphical difference drastic on console ? Are there frame drops there ? If I buy the complete edition on PS4, do I need to pay for another subscription there ? This game is so good, I don't want to wait a month to play it again.

strange coral
#

You can use the same sub, but you do have to buy the game again for the ps4

#

Gameplay should only be different if you're switching control schemes, such as going from kb/m to controller, but you can do either on the ps4 as well

#

(I can't comment on the rest because I don't play on PS4)

pale vessel
#

Yeah, I was expecting that so no worries but I'm kinda worried about the framerate on console. Specially with 24+ player content. Thanks for the reply

honest orchid
#

I just made the switch to a regular ps4 and the game runs fine. Make sure to upload your gearsets and stuff to the cloud

pale vessel
#

Cloud ? Can't I just log in on my SE account on PS4 ?

strange coral
#

A lot of settings, such as hotbars, are stored on your device, not the servers

remote lintel
#

your settings wont carry over

honest orchid
#

the game lets you backup gearsets, macros and stuff from the character screen

#

you can then download them on the ps4

pale vessel
#

OH ok, cool. I am stuck with a laptop that problably can't run the game so... Is it possible to use the app to do that ?

That only goes to 70 and idk a lot of what it’s talking about

remote lintel
#

the methods still apply from 70-80

strange coral
#

Basically do your daily roulettes, mainly MSQ, leveling, and alliance for their daily bonuses. Then highest level leveling dungeon after that (not 50/60/70 dungeons). If queue times are long (15min+) do POTD, HOH, or Bozja instead if you have access to them.

remote lintel

beast tribes

they dont have bozja

I just finished Orbonne and I have a few questions: 1) At the end they look at that math robot that can send people to Tartarus... they haven't used this plot after the raids, right? We don't know what they'll use it for? 2) The resistance of Ivalice was kinda left hanging... denied from the trade company, the eorzean alliance and Doma, they were just... left hanging like that?

remote lintel
#

the bosses arent tied to msq

and you killed the robot

#

also they didn't actually need help from the alliance

when should i use the thundercloud proc?

#

after the rotation or immediately as the proc happens

twilit arch
#

when the thunder buff is about to drop or if you need to move

sour ruin
#

TIL

twilit arch
#

or if the proc is about to expire

manic flare
#

so the prerequisite for the npc is just completing the firmamenet quests? and no necessarily be in ShB?

twilit arch
#

yes

forest bronze
#

okies thanks, and the same for thunder 2 and 4?

twilit arch
#

you do not need to complete shb for charlemend

faint flare
#

In aoe use procs as you get them

#

Iys a ton of damage

forest bronze
#

okies thanks :D

faint flare
#

And you'll be proccing often

#

Is it still possible to get the regalia.

remote lintel
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

Not currently

stiff skiff
#

Oh god.

remote lintel
#

the event will be back in who knows when

leaden ginkgo
#

But there's rumors they're planning to rerelease it in the future like rainmaker

stiff skiff
#

Trial users are able to buy sds fenrir or cloud's bike on the ffxiv online store right? For ps4?

twilit arch
#

They've stated they're going to rerun the event

#

its just a matter of when

remote lintel
#

dont know if they can

#

you can certainly try

leaden ginkgo
#

They can. SE owns the rights to ff15.

stiff skiff
#

Ayyyy goood loookin'''''

remote lintel
#

i was talking about buying mounts

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh my bad

finite topaz
#

Trial users are able to use the mogstation store after a certain patch like 5 months ago i think

stiff skiff
#

I can buy the same bike for my crew as well too?? Like can I gift them the same bike?

remote lintel
#

@finite topaz it says they can buy certain items but it doesnt say what

twilit arch
#

do believe the store page notes whether trial users can buy the item or not

remote lintel
#

it doesnt say on the sds fenrir page

strange coral
#

The item page will say something like "You must have registered a product key for FINAL FANTASY XIV to your service account." if you need to own the game. If it doesn't have that, it's probably safe.

polar hound
#

yes you can gift mogstation items too

stiff skiff
#

YeZZIRRRRRR Boutta be ridin' wit da boyz.

polar hound
#

i'll also say if you can afford the sub and are enjoying the game, you might find it easier to play with your friends if at least one of you subscribes. so you can form groups and such on your own, etc. Only saying this because if you're willing to spend on a mount, you probably are willing to spend on a sub lol

astral cobalt
#

what's worth more xp, leveling roulette or specifi dungeon in my level range ?

polar hound
#

roulette and then the highest dungeon in your level range

astral cobalt
#

thanks

faint flare
#

Roulettes are onxe a day

polar hound
#

this does not include 'level capped' dungeons. 50/60/70/80

#

those dungeons were meant for the level cap of their time and thus offer little to no exp

astral cobalt
#

but the associated roulette is still worth more than a dungeon ?

polar hound
#

yes because roulettes offer bonus each day

astral cobalt
#

thanks that's what I wanted to ascertain

polar hound
#

do your roulettes each day (you can skip some like guildhests) then farm highest lvl dungeon.. ofc if you're dps, queue times change that up a bit.

#

which is where palace of the dead, heaven on high, bozja come in

astral cobalt
#

when do I unlockj that ? I'm lvl 58

polar hound
#

Palace of the dead is after you do Copperbell Mines. The unlock is from a lala sitting on a box in the New Gridania Inn near the aetheryte "The House that Death Built" should be a bluequest

astral cobalt
#

thanks

polar hound
#

the exp from POTD isn't gonna be great for you considering your level (exp takes a huge hit after you hit lvl 60) but you should have plenty of MSQ assuming this is your first character. Heaven on high will be accessible to you at 61 (after unlocking stormblood), so you'll have to fluff one level before being able to enter that one

hollow briar
#

I got another random question. Can effects from other players abilities be turned off?

crystal bluff
#

yes

polar hound
#

yes

remote lintel
#

yes but its not recommended

crystal bluff
#

you can set it to limited

hollow briar
#

I'm watching content on YT and there's ALOT of shit and makes it seem hard to see at times

faint flare
#

At least set it to limited

#

For healer bubbles

remote lintel
#

OH you mean the effects

crystal bluff
#

which will still show like healer aoes

remote lintel
#

i thought you meant the debuffs

polar hound
remote lintel
#

i would turn others to off

polar hound
#

same

#

this is from a 7yr old reddit post but others to none is the only change i'd make

hollow briar
#

Awesome ok thank you. Still just looking into the game some more and just soaking some info in and I'm seeing raid content and there's...alot of effects

polar hound
#

do you play on mouse+kb?

hollow briar
#

I don't play yet. I'm just looking into the game

polar hound
#

oh okay

hollow briar
#

But I'll be on controller

#

Ps5

#

Ik it has m&k functionality

polar hound
#

i play on pc with a ps4 controller dw

remote lintel
hollow briar
#

Idk if it's still the case but a buddy told me alot of the world records are held by console players or controller players

polar hound
#

there is an option that most mouse users find frustrating, one that clears your target when you click the ground, so i was gonna advise for that ahead of time

remote lintel
#

m+kb and controller are both equal

polar hound
#

not sure about records but yeah

hollow briar
#

Yea I know once I get in I'm gonna need help with recommendations for UI. I downloaded the trial going on 2 years ago and I was like really overwhelmed with the UI

#

And couldn't figure out how to move things really lol

polar hound
#

there's a hud editor, take it day by day and ask questions

remote lintel
#

i would recommend getting a mouse and keyboard plugged in to your ps5 so you can type and click menus easier and stuff

hollow briar
#

I put next to no time into the game but still

polar hound
#

for sure a keyboard ye

hollow briar
#

I do have a bluetooth keyboard

#

That I used in ESO and Tera just for typing and so on

faint flare
#

Tera pensive_cowboy

polar hound
#

perfect, keep in mind there are some big ole social restrictions on free trial but can be worked around usually

hollow briar
#

Tera is oof.

#

I'm not too worried about it. If I play to like 30-40 and I find myself enjoying the game I'll probably get it so

polar hound
#

it's a slow starting game story wise and ability wise ngl to you but it picks up and gets really good pretty quick, best of luck man

remote lintel
#

i bought the game at like lvl 8 cause i knew it was going to take my soul

hollow briar
#

I'll have to see. Does it take long to level up? I'm sure if I go around and exploring and taking in everything it will but generally?

polar hound
#

most classes/jobs dont start feeling 'fun' til like 60/70+ cause of slow rotations, especially healer/tank lol

remote lintel
#

the story levels you with it

#

so your main source of exp is doing the story

polar hound
#

it's a FF game so it's story based and thus story is not only mandatory but good exp

hollow briar
#

Need to stray off to do side quests much or not really?

polar hound
#

no

remote lintel
#

nah

hollow briar
#

Kk

remote lintel
#

the regular side quests are just for lore and dont give good exp

polar hound
#

side quests are lore basically. some have emotes/minion rewards but not many

hollow briar
#

I've never played an FF game before so this will be really new

#

Idk if I'll get hate for this or not but this is the closest thing to WoW that console has so

polar hound
#

nice, remember FF titles are always story based. FFXIV is no different in the sense that it's a FF title first, mmo second

remote lintel
#

yeah theres a lot of wow refugees here

hollow briar
#

I assumed there would be. I'm only 22 but grew up watching my pops play Everquest religiously and watching him go to WoW for a little period of time and I'd play from time to time but was too young to truly know wtf I was doing xD

polar hound
#

ffxiv community is, generally, way more easy going than wow btw. while we have toxic people, generally the population is helpful/nice

hollow briar
#

So I've been stuck playing the new era of action combat mmo's but eh. Kinda excited to really try out a tab targeting game

remote lintel
#

from what ive seen and heard ff14 draws heavily from wow but has many improvements over it

hollow briar
#

Just for future knowledge if I ever ended up getting a PC. Can stuff be transferred over?

remote lintel
#

you have to buy the game again on pc

#

but yes

hollow briar
#

Well yea. Ok so accounts can be transferred cool

polar hound
#

a tip for you starting out on controller - Holding R2 or L2 then pressing R1 or L1 will cycle through nearby targets

remote lintel
#

i just use the dpad

polar hound
#

also once you start getting more abilities than one bar can handle.. look into Expanded controls for controller, very useful

#

!faq controller

hollow briar
#

Interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind. I will be trying out the free trial. Idk when, Could be within a few days or even weeks. I've been playing Bless Unleashed and still having some fun with it but chances are when I'm done I'll be giving this a try

polar hound
#

i guess this exists

hollow briar
#

Yea I remember seeing that when I downloaded trials years ago and even though I didn't play at all the hotbar thing seemed a little weird or complex tbh

#

Having to hold down a combo of buttons to pull up another bar?

remote lintel
#

its not complicated at all

#

it lets you access your other hotbars very easily

polar hound
#

it's slightly unintuitive at the start but it becomes muscle memory really fast

hollow briar
#

Probably was just alot to take it seeing it and trying to mess with the UI and all

polar hound
#

10+year old game has a lot of stuff, dw lol

fading aurora
#

Ok so I'm about to buy the expansions is there anything I should know or do I buy it and everything unlocks?

Appreciate it! I'm gonna go in and watch some more WeskAlber. I had gotten busy

polar hound
#

ocean fishing probably

umbral void
#

Are dungeons locked behind story progression or can I go to them in world to access them?

remote lintel
#

so just buy shadowbringers and download the rest of the game @fading aurora

umbral void
#

Ah yes, the long route it is then, thanks.

polar hound
#

hard modes are an exception where they are bluequest

silver lintel
#

when is ocean fishing accessible?

fading aurora
#

If I'm on steam do I buy the expansions on there?

polar hound
#

yes if you are on steam you are locked to steam

open coral
#

There are a few ARR dungeons, and one each in HW and SB which are not story locked, per se, but you still need to reach a certain level and/or point in the story to unlock them.

im pretty sure there's a merchant on the boat itself when you're out and about, but there is also one on the dock near the entry npc

if youre just there to level i cant imagine you'd need different lures but not sure how easy it is to proc rainbows anymore either

is the firmament gonna stick with grade 4?

hollow briar

Are there built in parses in game?

remote lintel

no, only 3rd party ones

#

and those are technically illegal

hollow briar
#

Wack.

polar hound
#

you wont be able to get one on ps regardless

hollow briar
#

Well yea not a 3rd party one

#

Surprised they aren't any built in

polar hound
#

but while frowned upon, ACT is also under a very strict 'dont ask dont tell' kinda policy. as long as you dont go talking about it/others dps in chat, youre fine

hollow briar
#

Would it just create too much toxicity?

remote lintel
#

having a built in parser would mean people would get harassed

polar hound
#

they arent built in because some big streamers caused some big witch hunts and yoshi saw the harassment and shut it down

hollow briar

Sad

#

I'm watching Wesk's meta video rn. Why are Monk's a minority or not played much?

remote lintel
#

whats the date on the video?

hollow briar
#

He says it's something to do with playstyle. Not necessarily damage

#

4 months

#

Dec 1st

remote lintel
#

it might have been before monk got reworked

#

when it was more boring to play

hollow briar
#

He's saying it was played even less than Bard and it wasn't necessarily a damage issue but a playstyle issue

remote lintel
#

yeah it was before the monk rework

#

it was just boring

polar hound
#

they move a lot more than other melees and were a bit frustrating with greased lightning pre-rework

hollow briar
#

Gotcha . I was in the discussion channel but the Ninja's APM isn't too hard to get used to? That's what I'd be afraid of

remote lintel
#

nah

hollow briar
#

Starting it and not being able to keep up at first or it's a class that requires ALOT of work

remote lintel
#

it has high apm but definitely not the highest

lilac thicket
#

I have a question about Grand Companies & The Squadrons you deploy...
It says for me to reach the rank of "First Serpent Lieutenant" my squadron has to reach rank 3... but it isn't explained anywhere how or what to do to get them to rank 3? I've been sending them out on missions, is that enough? Or do I have to personally run them through X number of dungeons? It's pretty bothersome to get downgraded back to level 20-something...

remote lintel
#

@lilac thicket they need to get to a certain level and then the flagged mission unlocks, which you need to do

polar hound
#

flagged ye

hollow briar
#

Because tbh those are the 2 I'm leaning towards mostly atm is Monk and Ninja

lilac thicket

mm flagged missions, i see

Any reason why the quest after a moogle's intuition isn't available? to unlock the moogle beast tribe

Yep

polar hound

you did "An Uneasy Feeling"?

hollow briar

And positional means? You have to be behind or to the side of the enemy?

Which one is that again?

it means you need to hit the flank or rear of the boss

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

remote lintel
#

theres no way to tell but i personally dont see many monks or black mages

#

at higher levels that is

hollow briar
#

Surprised as I had always heard Black Mage was more towards the top of overall dps

remote lintel
#

it is, but has a high skill ceiling that intimidates people

hollow briar
#

Because of ani-locks/cast times?

remote lintel
#

no, because black mage has long cast times where high level fights require you to move like every 5 seconds

#

and they need to cast spells to maintain their combo

#

so you need to learn to use its movement kit

lone spruce
#

Idk why it's not showing up then

#

an uneasy feeling is an available quest if I need to do that?

polar hound
#

yes

hollow briar
#

I'm usually big on casters but I had heard about that a while ago so that's why I decided I probably wasn't gonna do Black Mage

polar hound
#

that will unlock Trouble at Zenith after you do that one

lone spruce
#

aight ty

remote lintel
#

black mage is one of the most fun dps when you get the hang of it imo

#

it feels very rewarding to play

glossy flare
#

Personally, I hate the job

#

But well... preference and all

polar hound
#

Grizzy, it literally boils down to your own dedication to the job

hollow briar
#

Of my 2 buddies I play Bless with 1 swapped between White and Red Mage and the other would swap between Black Mage and I think Paladin

polar hound
#

if you wanna BLM, you can blm like the best of them if you learn the jobs in and outs

glossy flare
#

Can't start as Red Mage anyway btw

remote lintel
#

theres red mages in other mmos? thinking

hollow briar
#

I gotcha. Am I playing a giant catch up game if I get into it or is it forgiving for newer players?

polar hound
#

dont be intimidated one way or another, every single job is viable in this game

glossy flare
#

There is tons of story to play through

hollow briar
#

WoW hypothetically would take you months and months to just simply catch up

glossy flare
#

Which is mandatory content

remote lintel
#

the game is always forgiving to people catching up

#

gear and stuff gets easier to obtain as time goes on

glossy flare
#

But other than the story catchup is fairly simple

#

Gear is easy to get

#

Like... you could get into endgame content the moment you unlock it

hollow briar
remote lintel
#

oh lol

crystal bluff
#

for mining in the diadem, should i just do

#

whoops

#

should i just mine iron ore/sand until i hit 60

remote lintel
#

also we aren't getting much new content for like 5 months so you have all that time to catch up

hollow briar
#

Damn it's that far out? Wasn't Endwalker announced months ago?

crystal bluff
#

like a month ago

#

and all they said was fall

remote lintel
#

expansions are released every 2 years, but covid pushed back endwalker

glossy flare
#

the teaser was 2 months ago

remote lintel
#

it was supposed to drop this summer

polar hound
#

you cant compare wow to ffxiv because ffxiv devs actually care about the playerbase, i mean..uh... there's tons of means to catch up. Exp buffs galore, gear sets from job quests and at lvl 50/60/70/80 with tomestones you almost passively get

hollow briar
#

2 years? Damn

glossy flare
#

And it said Fall this year already

remote lintel
#

we have patches between the expansions

glossy flare
#

Yeah, there are usually 5 big content patches per expansion. With smaller patches inbetween

remote lintel
#

when you play the game youll see that theres quests between a realm reborn and heavensward, those are the patches that happened over 2 years

hollow briar
#

Alright well I greatly appreciate the info everyone. Ima just keep on watchin some vids and soak some stuff in. I think most of my concerns have been answered really

#

Just need to watch some vids and learn more about what each class has and so on

remote lintel
#

just pick up all the classes bigbrain

polar hound
#

dont stress yourself out over it, game aint goin anywhere and the help is around lol

hollow briar
#

When I purchase the game the complete edition would be my go-to I'm assuming

remote lintel
#

yes

glossy flare
#

That sounds like a joke but I am so close to having all of them at 80 myself

#

Unless you plan on waiting until EW hits at least, yeah

hollow briar
#

Alrighty awesome! Thank you again!

glossy flare
#

Could save a buck, but I doubt the content of the starter edition would sustain anyone for 5-6 months

hollow briar
#

Eh. I can't see myself spending 5+ more months on Bless Unleashed or on any other console garbage

glossy flare
#

Just saying, the starter edition is all content up to lvl 60

#

and when EW hits it will include SB and ShB

hollow briar
#

Ahhhh

#

Expansions are what? $40?

glossy flare
#

But still, 5 months just for base game + HW is a lot

remote lintel
#

yeah

#

also this game has 100+ hours of story and content so if you needed a time sink here it is

polar hound
#

but the newest expansion always includes the other ones too

hollow briar
#

Oh I could burn through that if I really get into the game

#

I lose sleep because I'm online at night getting through stuff so 😅

polar hound
#

i have a feeling you will enjoy relic weapon quests lol.

hollow briar
#

I enjoy any grind really

#

It's when RNG gets involved is when I get annoyed

polar hound
#

avoid fisher

remote lintel
hollow briar
#

The best weapon in Bless right now is locked behind an open world event that has to be pvp'd over that is gatekeeped by PvP guilds even trolling so other don't get it...or you fish for hours for a weekly tournament and hoping you have good rng to pull the right fish and a big enough fish

#

And fishing gives absolutely nothing otherwise

remote lintel
#

yeah theres no open world pvp or anything like that here

polar hound
#

the only things that might be gated are gated by your own skill level tbh

remote lintel
#

the rng in this game isnt THAT punishing

hollow briar
#

Thank god

polar hound
#

pvp in this game is ehh.. well, it exists. not gonna say it's a great feature or popular outside of roulettes but it's there

wintry chasm
#

Some PvP modes are pretty fun but yeah it's just not popular is the main issue

polar hound
#

when new pvp stuff comes out it's fun as heck but it dies down pretty quick

just making sure

#

trying to do Garuda now, then titan, then doing my Crystal tower raids too

twilit arch

well should say there'll be a few more during the msq

remote lintel
#

yes @olive totem although you clipped a tiny bit when putting cards on others

twilit arch
#

but those are the only side trials you have to do

just know you can target something else while you're midcast and you can prime your cards that way

save leves for doh/dol.. do beast tribes/hunting log/fates or something if you arent queuing for PoTD or whatnot

#

use F1-8

fallen axle
#

instead of me needing to sidequest a harder version

olive totem
#

I practiced 10 minutes on not clipping and gotten the hand of it. So today was my first day actually practicing on not clipping

little swift

you can just target back after you play the card with tab

olive totem
#

@little swift

little swift
#

keep it up, you're getting there

remote lintel
#

playing on controller makes it feel like some clipping is inevitable pensivewobble

olive totem
#

I didn't know that tab locks back on enemies

little swift
#

its a tab target mmo

#

thats the designation because you can tab to select enemies

olive totem
#

I use my side buttons for targeting enemies

#

On mouse

little swift
#

thats fine

#

just get in the habit of preselecting card targets/heal targets while you're mid gravity/malefic cast

#

it'll help clean up your weaving a bit more

Hingan Fence (Kura-zukuri) I think? @gritty oracle

polar hound
#

difference between wow and xiv guilds/fcs are..FCs are mainly a social construct. most people find static groups to raid with outside of FCs.

I'm playin right now but I have been in the same small room for 5 hours.

so fcs are just for show?

faint flare
#

Social stuff

obsidian patio
#

If you don’t have an FC house then in terms of pure gameplay, they can only provide 24-hour buffs

faint flare
#

And buffs

polar hound
#

they offer buffs like +10%/15% exp and such plus the world feels pretty lonely without one when out and about

pulsar escarp
#

^^^^^

polar hound
#

older/established fcs tend to have houses with menders/merchants etc too which is cheap to teleport to..and generally some access to bells/market board nearby

What's the command for "stuff to get done before weekly reset"?

polar hound

or well..i guess i wouldnt know if one of the mentors added a Kupo Bot command for that tbf

ehh

just going to say your character isn't ever voiced

polar hound

yeah

#

it's more of a mimicry with another kinda deal tbh

twilit arch
#

they make a talk animation, but they are not a voiced character

candid ruin
#

so he doesnt speak?

#

what i mean by speaking

#

is having a voice actor

polar hound
#

not the MC as you are, no

faint flare
#

Not directly

candid ruin
#

ohh okay

polar hound
#

you will nod your head 50 million times and like it

thought they changed it, because ive just saw shadobringers trailer

true

well...that is explained in shb so that should keep your excitement prolly

For crafting, what are resplendent components used for?

Resplendent tools

you can search reddit or hang around main cities and wait for recruitment shouts/check party finder for FCs

they did add a community tool thing i guess to the lodestone to search fcs too..havent looked at that

oh nice good command

#

if i will hit 80 level e.g at the end of first expansion and will want to get some good gear before starting another one, are the newest dungs (80lv etc) locked by story?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Everything is

candid ruin
#

lovely

#

😄

little swift
#

No real reason to overgear either

faint flare
#

Which is why its pointless to be overlevelled

little swift
#

Only really benefits you in overworld soloing

polar hound
#

you could buy crafted gear but yeah no there's really 0 reason to try to powerlevel beyond msq

candid ruin
#

okay, then, there is no point in doing hard mode dungs at 50/60 lv?

#

just focus on story?

faint flare
#

For poetics for larger gear upgrades

polar hound
#

i'd skip all of them except maybe hullbreaker isle and sastasha hard for lore or whathaveyou

just incase you're a blm - dont worry about this skill ^

BLM dont need to worry about that skill? cause they regen with ice you mean?

yep

they are their own mana battery

ahh ok. I'm basically permamently using it as healer lol

polar hound
#

which healer?

delicate field
#

white mage especially

polar hound
#

ahh yeah pending your level..it can be a bit mp heavy.. general rule of thumb is to pop lucid at 7500/7000 (75%/70%) mp and then on CD from that point

as whm levels though it's really really hard to run low on mp with

If I'm on steam do I have to uninstall trail and download full version after I bought it?

remote lintel
#

the launcher should automatically update

fading aurora
#

When I click install content its stuck on a download thing

delicate field
#

how long has it been like that?

fading aurora
#

4 minutes

leaden ginkgo
#

Do higher levels of Palace of the Dead give more XP (actual XP, not PotD XP).

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Which is why people spam 51-60

fading aurora
#

I'm gonna enter game to see if it has full version

faint flare
#

Not 1-10

leaden ginkgo
#

So, is it better/more efficient to run 50-60 or the top levels of PotD?

fading aurora
#

That install might not work if I have the launcher already

leaden ginkgo
#

Top tier*

faint flare
#

51-60 cause checkpoint

leaden ginkgo
#

Gotcha.

faint flare
#

Thus shorter ques

delicate field
#

you delete your save every time and just start at 51

leaden ginkgo
#

Right. I figure I'm going to level all my DPS classes using PotD, HoH, and Bozjan.

#

And level tank/healer in dungeons.

fading aurora
#

@delicate field I fixed it

#

I had to uninstall trail

delicate field
#

oh that sucks 😦 another 100gb download

fading aurora
#

It only the launcher not the game

#

Launcher is 50 mbs lol

#

Took 1 milisecond

leaden ginkgo
#

Game components still need to be installed regardless. It was probably having a hiccup with old files already present

fading aurora
#

Where do I enter my keys for expansion and game?

leaden ginkgo
#

Mogstation

faint flare
#

Mogstation

fading aurora
#

Even for steam version?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Mogstation is 14s account management

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes, because you're activating things with Square Enix. Steam is a separate entity that doesn't handle your account.

fading aurora
#

Where do I enter the expansions key

#

I only saw game

slate arrow
#

Game first then expansions

fading aurora
#

I know but where on the site do I enter expansion code

I already activated game

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

general rule of thumb in alliance raids: group order is usually from left to right A>B>C. stick with your group if you're unsure

#

I wanted to buy a collectors edition but they don't have it on steam

remote lintel
#

it should be under dlc

polar hound
#

there are preorder bonuses so keep an eye for that with EW but collectors editions ^

leaden ginkgo
#

I have the steam version, and have all the collectors editions

twilit arch
#

you can always upgrade to collector's edition on the mogstation if for whatever reason steam doesn't show it for you

fading aurora
#

That's the complete edition not collectors

#

Which is what I bought

remote lintel
#

its on the shadowbringers page

On my steam all I have is the game for 19,99$ and content for this game which is shadow bringers for 39.99
