A starting city
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.
I was tank
Had stance on
Monster didn't load so didn't the aoe
I got aggrod and died
why do ppl want nuts? is there some new stuff?
Gear
Nuts are the centurio seals of the new areas.
you can buy cryptlurker augments with them now
what is a cryptlurker augments
The highest level tome gear at the moment
Even in large parties more tanks is fine
@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
ohhh, i see
This recent patch made it worse
PC load times got better PS4 is the same as it was
It's getting really hard
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?
How to spam inv in the chat
make a macro haha
Just shout the same as literally everyone else is shouting in a zone.
You can still type on a PS4 right?
Someone with an open space in party might invite you.
Yes but it's shit
Aslong as it's not a long sentence it's fine
Just inv and a "/" right?
get a usb keyboard and plug it into one of the free USB ports on your PS4
^
Don't wanna order in this pandemic
no just type / and someone will inv u
plugin your pc's keyboard, make the macro and unplug it
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 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
Better than nothing ig
I c
Ye people barely wastes 10 seconds on a mark 
Is aug cryptlurker best set?
In terms of ilvl and stats
wdym by best
Its not /
Ilvl and stat
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

Hunt trains are easier than S Marks. Trains, you have 12 chances. S mark, 1.
Trains are worse on a PS4
ノ its that
I can't type japanese on a PS4 controller
Copy and paste it
just add Japanese as a keyboard in settings
I can add additional languages?
Also after Hunt is over, start yelling/shouting if anyone has a free space in their Hunt linkshell
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.
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*
Myeah, makes sense! Then you'll have to indeed somehow figure out how hunt linkshells work over on that side of the planet.
Does using your Chocobo ho increase enmity on Hunt Marks?
How do I find these linkshells that only farms nuts
Over here, we just have discord servers, and shouting around a bit gets you invites.
I have no clue
I don't get to see the monster
When I do monster is literally surrounded by players
Which discord server
there's hunt discords that works on elemental
https://discord.gg/kQT4NfsemN
https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv
Ahh thanks
@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 🤦♀️
Not significantly enough to justify adding more bodies to the load of yours/others pc
Trains typically ask you to dismiss your minions and chocobos
To respect people who play on ps4 and weaker rigs
oh probably mentioned already, but turning off or limiting other's visual effects might help with the loading
If I lower anything more it'll look like a ps2 game
That's the sacrifice, yes.
Well I mean not as bad as ps2
So if have light party, not getting full nuts, use Chocobo with Pahsana fruit to get more enmity
I don't want enmity I'll die
Everyone gets enmity
you need enmity to get credit
Oh
not number 1
Nut amount is determined by how much enmity you accrue
but enough :p
I'll just spam aoes and hope for the best
That’s why you get more when you switch to tank
If you're alone, you're probably never going to get enough.
What does that even mean
💀
But amount?
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.
Nut*
I recently did a hunt train with just 4. 2 tanks, 2 DPS, got full credit.
If I do a o/ instead of a japanese / it still counts right?
Absolutely no clue!
@fading aurora You get more nuts as a tank with tank stance on than a DPS.
:/
i've seen people substitute / instead of the katakana in bozja, yes
The hunt currency for ShB zones are sacks of nuts. The amount you get is dependent on enmity generated, basically.
Getting nut just seems funny to me lmao I've never done that since I'm new
The sentence just sounded dirty for me
I'll just make a macro
What are nuts called in Japanese?
You can just use auto translate too if you're having this much trouble
does the level of my class matter when desynthing? not the desynth level but my actual class
but it doesn't matter past that?
No
nice
.
What is aetherite in Japanese?

@leaden ginkgo in character config
on display name settings
@gloomy mortar probably the same thing
I imagine nuts is just ナッツ too, really..
@jolly sorrel Thanks for the helpful non-obnoxious response!
whats some good desynth fodder?
whatever you aren't gonna use
but like anything i should buy to get it up?
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?
You can buy cheap fish to mass desynth @jade lava
no you cant really hit positionals soloing
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
The game has audio feedback for hitting a positional
But I don't think that applies to monk
yeah i havent heard it
haha thats ironic
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?
if it has audio feedback and it doesnt apply to the class that use it the most
do fates and hunting log
Okay thank you! Btw would my choco get de leveled to match me?
ye i c
But his SP skills will remain the same correct?
Yes entering fates sync your chocobos level but not its rank
@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"
Interesting! Thanks again! @jolly sorrel 🍺 so it isn’t just the Japanese word for ‘Nuts’ @little swift
Not in the patch notes, at any rate. I don't actually play japanese ingame so not sure there.
Cool. I’m still torn between BLM, BRD or just waiting for MCH
afaik most of the japanese names for stuff is very straight forward/generic
Why am I being pinged
Do I need to be resistance level 10 for the next quest in relic weapon
probably? maybe even higher
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”
Cmon
the max you need is 10
Depends on which step, but you do need to be rank 10 and do DR to unlock more recent steps
Bozjan is a pain...
That wasn't directed to you needa
But I need to get to 15 and probably higher because they think that place is "fun"
No need to ping me

because its part of the story
rank 10 isnt even hard
welcome to mmo I guess
this isnt a vent channel, please keep that in mind
I mean I rather grind a dungeons that do fates
Thats the current steps after doing Delerum
Can I get resistance levels while I do that too
delebrum gives mettle now??
Yes
Ok not bad then
thank god
you dont need to do delebrum that many times
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?
think its 20k at rank 10?
not really
Slightly
nerfs to the relic weapon generally happen once the expac is over
I just wanna catch up on a relic for once
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
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
Got a question, whats a good way to get a lot of experience? Decided to start up a second class and went with lancer first, then to dragoon
!faq altlvlguide
quick question about crafting gear, around 55, but do scrips only apply to level 60? Before 60 shoudl I just buy from market board or is there a shop to buy for crafters inbetween I'm not aware of?
does anyone no how much strong a direct hit is? because from my understanding it doesn't scale in power just chance correct?
tyvm
what gives the most allegory?
Playing non-leveling roulettes on an 80 job
Hunt trains
@honest orchid in between stuff is crafted only, see here https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Land_and_Hand_Gear_Progression#Disciple of the Land Set Progression
no leveling as in expert and 80 dungeon roulette?
For any given set of the level you wish, click the link, then look at the items down below. if you see a gil coin it means it can be purchased from npc
Ive been doing some potd and I got access to level 51, I was just wondering if it was better for leveling purposes to start from 1 or 51 and also which floor to stop and start over at?
the little gil coin here
ty for this, so I guess the raime/rainbow crafting sets are what I need
51-60 is what most people do for leveling
Yes but also 50/60/70 gives quite a bit 120 for just one dungeon i believe
Is there an expected release date/time range for 5.55 release yet?
ah gotcha thanks for the info @sour ruin
Late May is what's currently speculated
Thankyou!
Also should I do solo or matched party?
I imagine matched party?
Matched
Ah ok thankyou again!
You get 0 exp with undersized party enabled
Will i have to buy multiple sets of handsaints crafter gear for each class?
No, only the tool
Oh thank goodness
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.
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)
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
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
ahead of time
Can you have a glamour dresser in your room?
no
what about house?
no
oh and make sure your TV is set to game mode if it has one, mine had a lot of input lag that I wasn't used to on the pc
Cloud ? Can't I just log in on my SE account on PS4 ?
A lot of settings, such as hotbars, are stored on your device, not the servers
your settings wont carry over
the game lets you backup gearsets, macros and stuff from the character screen
you can then download them on the ps4
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 ?
Hey all, playing consistently again after a 3 year Hiatus. Working on shadowbringers story and got my pld to 80 but wanna level up other classes to have some diversity . What’s the easiest/best method for grinding characters out to 80 . I’m doing my sam next (currently at 54) then a healer after which are all lvl 50’s
!faq altlvlguide
You have to do it from the PC that has the settings on it that you want to backup
App doesn't have the settings, and I'm guessing the laptop doesn't either if you're not playing on it
Oh ok. It's fine then, I'll just repeat the macros on the console. Thanks for the info
is there a way to filter out pf where there is an available spot for your current job?
ah yes nvm there is
That only goes to 70 and idk a lot of what it’s talking about
the methods still apply from 70-80
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.
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?
the bosses arent tied to msq
and you killed the robot
also they didn't actually need help from the alliance
? it looked operational, and the Legatus (legates?) took it back to Garlebad
So I just did my first raid and I could use some tips on improving upon raiding. You guys have any pointers?
Are free companies worth joining? Like at a low level
always worth, find one asap
FCs are worth joining at any level. But at the same time there is absolutely no need to join one
Which raid?
nonono i just watched the cinematic, it was up and running. there were dead bodies of the chess pieces/knights, yes. But Tartarus machine was up and running
they havent talked about it since
I just did the pirate cove one
I think I'll be doing another one in Girdania soon
@obtuse oxide what was the name
Oh, that's a dungeon, not a raid. What class are you playing?
pirate cove raid? Maybe Lost Ark?
I'm a Gladiator
Sounds like Sastasha to me
Sastasha
Oh, ooops
Can I make it so I can see myself in the party frame even when not in a party?
Okay, ill look into one after work then
spam your aoe at 2+ enemies, turn the boss away from the party, cycle your defensive skills one by one @obtuse oxide
And keep tank stance on (Iron Will), check when you join as level sync will turn it off
Yes. There's a check box in the... I think it's under UI settings.
Gotcha. A veteran player kinda told me to turn on Iron Will since I didn't notice it was off xD
Or Display Settings.
@open coral got it tyvm
Who's the Sylph vendor?
will tomestone of revelation reset?
22x, 26y?
Sylph vendor only sells if you've started their beast quests, just if you didn't know
@arctic crater no
Ah, ok. Thanks.
Ilavice is required for Bojza related stuff so we may see a return of all that stuff in Zadnor
how does blm do i solo content / questing it has the cast time and no self healing 0-0
If you really need you can bring some potions with you
If I'm doing the bitter memory quest can I obtain it with other class? Or I have to do the dungeon with the class I choose to accept the quest.
oh okies
Overworld content you can have your chocobo help you as well
@forest bronze kill faster

!faq positional
or 2
can doit as other class just need to have the quest active
oh ty
Thank you
its one but you typically avoid the upper half because thats where the boss faces and cleaves things normally
@royal garnet
do we still have the ass crack pic
no i updated the old one with the new target rings
but i can fix that image if it makes it easier to understand
it was handy for showing where to stand
basically you can stand on the bottom corners of the blue lines and just shuffle left and right as needed puppy
How hard is it to start your own free company and to build it up? Like on a scale to arr filler to being a white mage?
It’s easy but hellish, especially the filler. And white mage is best because white mage yo
Yeah spamming 1 button really is hellish
Filler bad, white mage good
That what I meant. Honestly it’s more of a joke than anything
bless
!faq positonal
wait
FFF
channy might be updating it
"positonal" is missing an i
oh nvm
!faq positionals
Can trial players trade? I got a lot of food I’ve been cooking and i wouldn’t mind giving out to@other players who would want it
nop
You cannot
!faq freetrial
Damn
dont worry man. boiled eggs are dirt cheap and no one is hurting for low level food, trust.
Question: How long does it take until buyed stuff from the mog station gets in my inventory?
if its account wide probably a couple hours
how do you unlock the new ishgard custom delivery npc?
there's a button to request delivery at the top of your mail but it's not like..instant
do you need to have finished or be in ShB?
You need a level 60 crafter/gatherer to do the quest
where do i find the quest?
Quest was level 60 when I was in firma for fetes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you wouldnt be able to craft anything from him because all his receipes are lv70+
the custom delivery npc is in the firmament?
yes it is
ye it's a level 70 unlock
the other firmament quests are 60, but for his unlocks they are both 70
theres only 3 custom delivery npcs in this expac, 2 are in the firmament and 1 in eulmore which is story locked
since its "You can Count on it" and "Those Who Serve"
when should i use the thundercloud proc?
after the rotation or immediately as the proc happens
when the thunder buff is about to drop or if you need to move
TIL
or if the proc is about to expire
so the prerequisite for the npc is just completing the firmamenet quests? and no necessarily be in ShB?
yes
okies thanks, and the same for thunder 2 and 4?
you do not need to complete shb for charlemend
okies thanks :D
And you'll be proccing often
Is it still possible to get the regalia.
no
Not currently
Oh god.
the event will be back in who knows when
But there's rumors they're planning to rerelease it in the future like rainmaker
Trial users are able to buy sds fenrir or cloud's bike on the ffxiv online store right? For ps4?
They can. SE owns the rights to ff15.
Ayyyy goood loookin'''''
i was talking about buying mounts
Oh my bad
Trial users are able to use the mogstation store after a certain patch like 5 months ago i think
I can buy the same bike for my crew as well too?? Like can I gift them the same bike?
@finite topaz it says they can buy certain items but it doesnt say what
do believe the store page notes whether trial users can buy the item or not
it doesnt say on the sds fenrir page
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.
yes you can gift mogstation items too
YeZZIRRRRRR Boutta be ridin' wit da boyz.
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
!faq positional @remote lintel
nice
hmmm
Sub? What's that
this is a subscription based mmo
Like a subway sandwich? Sounds good ngl
sure
the subscription fee to play the game
!faq subprice
I'll pay for their subscription fee's if they enjoy the game, we're just chillin' for now.
Thirteen a month? Fair enough.
!faq freetrial
read through the limitations if you havent already just incase you wonder why you cant invite others etc
but yeah take your time with the trial.. you can always find others to invite you to a party to group up for stuff also
I'm a lost soul, I'll learn everything eventually, have some time right now but once I'm done gotta get back on this tour.
what's worth more xp, leveling roulette or specifi dungeon in my level range ?
roulette and then the highest dungeon in your level range
thanks
Roulettes are onxe a day
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
but the associated roulette is still worth more than a dungeon ?
yes because roulettes offer bonus each day
thanks that's what I wanted to ascertain
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
when do I unlockj that ? I'm lvl 58
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 
thanks
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
I got another random question. Can effects from other players abilities be turned off?
yes
yes
yes but its not recommended
you can set it to limited
I'm watching content on YT and there's ALOT of shit and makes it seem hard to see at times
OH you mean the effects
which will still show like healer aoes
i thought you meant the debuffs
i would turn others to off
same
this is from a 7yr old reddit post but others to none is the only change i'd make
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
do you play on mouse+kb?
I don't play yet. I'm just looking into the game
oh okay
i play on pc with a ps4 controller dw
if you need hotbar ideas you can ask in #protips-and-ui or ask us here
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
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
m+kb and controller are both equal
not sure about records but yeah
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
there's a hud editor, take it day by day and ask questions
i would recommend getting a mouse and keyboard plugged in to your ps5 so you can type and click menus easier and stuff
I put next to no time into the game but still
for sure a keyboard ye
I do have a bluetooth keyboard
That I used in ESO and Tera just for typing and so on
Tera 
perfect, keep in mind there are some big ole social restrictions on free trial but can be worked around usually
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
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
i bought the game at like lvl 8 cause i knew it was going to take my soul
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?
most classes/jobs dont start feeling 'fun' til like 60/70+ cause of slow rotations, especially healer/tank lol
it's a FF game so it's story based and thus story is not only mandatory but good exp
Need to stray off to do side quests much or not really?
no
nah
Kk
the regular side quests are just for lore and dont give good exp
side quests are lore basically. some have emotes/minion rewards but not many
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
nice, remember FF titles are always story based. FFXIV is no different in the sense that it's a FF title first, mmo second
yeah theres a lot of wow refugees here
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
ffxiv community is, generally, way more easy going than wow btw. while we have toxic people, generally the population is helpful/nice
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
from what ive seen and heard ff14 draws heavily from wow but has many improvements over it
Just for future knowledge if I ever ended up getting a PC. Can stuff be transferred over?
Well yea. Ok so accounts can be transferred cool
a tip for you starting out on controller - Holding R2 or L2 then pressing R1 or L1 will cycle through nearby targets
i just use the dpad

also once you start getting more abilities than one bar can handle.. look into Expanded controls for controller, very useful
!faq controller
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
i guess this exists
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?
it's slightly unintuitive at the start but it becomes muscle memory really fast
Probably was just alot to take it seeing it and trying to mess with the UI and all
10+year old game has a lot of stuff, dw lol
Ok so I'm about to buy the expansions is there anything I should know or do I buy it and everything unlocks?
buy and it unlocks, you've already downloaded everything
do you have the base game seby
er..yeah ^
Yes
what's the best way to level fishing from like 50+?
Appreciate it! I'm gonna go in and watch some more WeskAlber. I had gotten busy
ocean fishing probably
Are dungeons locked behind story progression or can I go to them in world to access them?
so just buy shadowbringers and download the rest of the game @fading aurora
story
Everything is story locked
Ah yes, the long route it is then, thanks.
hard modes are an exception where they are 
when is ocean fishing accessible?
If I'm on steam do I buy the expansions on there?
yes if you are on steam you are locked to steam
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.
as soon as you do the fishing intro quest to become a fisher

huh, someone said it was like only every 2 hours or something
It's once every 2 hours yes
Every two hours (Earth time) you will have a 15 minute window to register with Dryskthota at the Lower Decks near the Arcanists’ Guild aetheryte (X;3.0 Y:12.7)
Also nice name, reminded me of this Steam workshop guy
is there an online clock somewhere for it?
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
Deep sea fishing is IRL time-based.
28mins til next one
oh, even hours then
where do you get more versatile lures? are they the only one you'll need?
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
make sure to eat food for the +3% exp and whatever else ye have
Ocean Fishing sure uses those Survival Manuals fast, try to get some if you are able to

Are there built in parses in game?
Wack.
you wont be able to get one on ps regardless
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
Would it just create too much toxicity?
having a built in parser would mean people would get harassed
they arent built in because some big streamers caused some big witch hunts and yoshi saw the harassment and shut it down
Sad
I'm watching Wesk's meta video rn. Why are Monk's a minority or not played much?
whats the date on the video?
He says it's something to do with playstyle. Not necessarily damage
4 months
Dec 1st
He's saying it was played even less than Bard and it wasn't necessarily a damage issue but a playstyle issue
they move a lot more than other melees and were a bit frustrating with greased lightning pre-rework
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
nah
Starting it and not being able to keep up at first or it's a class that requires ALOT of work
it has high apm but definitely not the highest
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...
@lilac thicket they need to get to a certain level and then the flagged mission unlocks, which you need to do
flagged ye
Because tbh those are the 2 I'm leaning towards mostly atm is Monk and Ninja
mm flagged missions, i see
Any reason why the quest after a moogle's intuition isn't available? to unlock the moogle beast tribe
I'm caught up on msq
monk has a simple rotation but be aware that every gcd is a positional
do you have flight unlocked in the area
Yep
you did "An Uneasy Feeling"?
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
rn I'm in the middle of protecting zenith after getting mogleo on the pomguard
Trouble at Zenith is the quest after moogles intuition
if you're doing it, youre fine
!faq meta
theres no way to tell but i personally dont see many monks or black mages
at higher levels that is
Surprised as I had always heard Black Mage was more towards the top of overall dps
it is, but has a high skill ceiling that intimidates people
Because of ani-locks/cast times?
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
Idk why it's not showing up then
an uneasy feeling is an available quest if I need to do that?
yes
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
that will unlock Trouble at Zenith after you do that one
aight ty
black mage is one of the most fun dps when you get the hang of it imo
it feels very rewarding to play
Grizzy, it literally boils down to your own dedication to the job
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
if you wanna BLM, you can blm like the best of them if you learn the jobs in and outs
Can't start as Red Mage anyway btw
theres red mages in other mmos? 
I gotcha. Am I playing a giant catch up game if I get into it or is it forgiving for newer players?
dont be intimidated one way or another, every single job is viable in this game
There is tons of story to play through
WoW hypothetically would take you months and months to just simply catch up
Which is mandatory content
the game is always forgiving to people catching up
gear and stuff gets easier to obtain as time goes on
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
Noo lol. I mean when they played FFXIV that's what they played
oh lol
for mining in the diadem, should i just do
whoops
should i just mine iron ore/sand until i hit 60
also we aren't getting much new content for like 5 months so you have all that time to catch up
Damn it's that far out? Wasn't Endwalker announced months ago?
expansions are released every 2 years, but covid pushed back endwalker
the teaser was 2 months ago
it was supposed to drop this summer
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
2 years? Damn
And it said Fall this year already
we have patches between the expansions
Yeah, there are usually 5 big content patches per expansion. With smaller patches inbetween
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
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
just pick up all the classes 
dont stress yourself out over it, game aint goin anywhere and the help is around lol
When I purchase the game the complete edition would be my go-to I'm assuming
yes
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
Alrighty awesome! Thank you again!
Could save a buck, but I doubt the content of the starter edition would sustain anyone for 5-6 months
Eh. I can't see myself spending 5+ more months on Bless Unleashed or on any other console garbage
Just saying, the starter edition is all content up to lvl 60
and when EW hits it will include SB and ShB
But still, 5 months just for base game + HW is a lot
yeah
also this game has 100+ hours of story and content so if you needed a time sink here it is
but the newest expansion always includes the other ones too
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 😅
i have a feeling you will enjoy relic weapon quests lol.
avoid fisher

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
yeah theres no open world pvp or anything like that here
the only things that might be gated are gated by your own skill level tbh
the rng in this game isnt THAT punishing
Thank god
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
Some PvP modes are pretty fun but yeah it's just not popular is the main issue
when new pvp stuff comes out it's fun as heck but it dies down pretty quick
stop reminding me i have to do ranked pvp
hey so Ifrit (Hard), Titan(hard) and Garuda(hard) are the only trials ill need to do for heavensward right? I don't need to do any extreme ones?
ayep
just making sure
trying to do Garuda now, then titan, then doing my Crystal tower raids too
well should say there'll be a few more during the msq
yes @olive totem although you clipped a tiny bit when putting cards on others
but those are the only side trials you have to do
you're definitely getting there on it. some clips are still happening
just know you can target something else while you're midcast and you can prime your cards that way
Did they ever add the Senorita Sabotender minion in 5.5?
Leveling alt job BLM, just spam leves while waiting in level roulette?
no
Yeah, I have no idea how to quickly pass cards to allies. It gets really frustrating sometimes
save leves for doh/dol.. do beast tribes/hunting log/fates or something if you arent queuing for PoTD or whatnot
target them while a cast is still channeling, not after you've already finished the cast
use F1-8
yeah i know there's a couple more dungeon/trial fight but those will be new
instead of me needing to sidequest a harder version
I practiced 10 minutes on not clipping and gotten the hand of it. So today was my first day actually practicing on not clipping
you can just target back after you play the card with tab
@little swift
keep it up, you're getting there
playing on controller makes it feel like some clipping is inevitable 
I didn't know that tab locks back on enemies
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
Does anyone know where I go to start doing level 80 custom deliveries (for Bot). I just finished the 70 questline in Crystarium
Okay!
I didn't Ravana extreme and no one knew what to do 😷
Tank spun boss so many times that everyone just gave up and ended the tria
yikes. tank shouldnt spin any boss ever
Kai-Shirr requires you to basically have completed the 5.1 msq before you can unlock him as a custom delivery npc, he's unlocked in eulmore
Ehll Tou and Charlemend are unlocked in the firmament once you've completed the
in there
For the mentor roulette achievement mount, can I just spam mentor roulette or do I have to wait for daily reset?
can spam it
thank you 😄
Ayo you seem to know a lot and when I ask questions some people tend to respond in a douchey manner so I'll go to you. Is there a big difference between free trial and the full version?]
Just the restrictions
Can someone ID me this fence?
!faq freetrial
^^ Wynne gots you man
In the trial, you can't have retainers, can't join FCs or linkshells, can't take SB/ShB jobs, and can't hold more than 200k gil.
they're mostly social restrictions and stuff like a Gil cap/cant sell on market boards
300k gil
FC's?
guilds
Fight Clubs?
guilds basically
Free Company. Basically guilds
Oh.
Hingan Fence (Kura-zukuri) I think? @gritty oracle
tyty!
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?
Social stuff
If you don’t have an FC house then in terms of pure gameplay, they can only provide 24-hour buffs
And buffs
they offer buffs like +10%/15% exp and such plus the world feels pretty lonely without one when out and about
^^^^^
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"?
there isn't really a command for that.. someone made a checklist https://accomp.me/ffxiv-daily-weekly-checklist/ which is pinned here but its for 5.3 so might be missing somethings
or well..i guess i wouldnt know if one of the mentors added a Kupo Bot command for that tbf
So...I was practicing rotations and the summoner stopped his to watch me.
tyty!
Idk if there was a problem or not?

@vernal urchin O_o why would anyone take notes from me
Monks use "slaying" accessories right ?
Yes @solid fog
on parsers it would show both your and his dps if you're nearby.. this is why i turn mine off in alliance raids lol
if you have an FC, generally they have a dummy outside too but ye just ignore them and do your thing otherwise
does our MC speak in newest expansion?
Kinda
ehh
just going to say your character isn't ever voiced
they make a talk animation, but they are not a voiced character
not the MC as you are, no
Not directly
ohh okay
you will nod your head 50 million times and like it
well...that is explained in shb so that should keep your excitement prolly
great, thanks
you do get dialogue options more often though as the expacs go on
what's the quickest one out of all Ivalice raids
but you have to use your imagination as to what your MC would sound like saying them lol
the first one
rabanastre
kk
how do you find free companies to join? is there a hotkey?
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
Those are the new ishgard tools right?
Ty!
thank you!
!faq communityfinder @gentle socket
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?
No real reason to overgear either
Which is why its pointless to be overlevelled
Only really benefits you in overworld soloing
you could buy crafted gear but yeah no there's really 0 reason to try to powerlevel beyond msq
okay, then, there is no point in doing hard mode dungs at 50/60 lv?
just focus on story?
For poetics for larger gear upgrades
i'd skip all of them except maybe hullbreaker isle and sastasha hard for lore or whathaveyou
whats the name of the spell that regens mp?
ohh okay, thanks again
lucid dreaming
thx
!skill lucid dreaming
first time doing labryinth of ancient raid
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?
ahh ok. I'm basically permamently using it as healer lol
which healer?
white mage especially
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?
the launcher should automatically update
how long has it been like that?
4 minutes
Do higher levels of Palace of the Dead give more XP (actual XP, not PotD XP).
I'm gonna enter game to see if it has full version
Not 1-10
So, is it better/more efficient to run 50-60 or the top levels of PotD?
That install might not work if I have the launcher already
Top tier*
51-60 cause checkpoint
Gotcha.
Thus shorter ques
you delete your save every time and just start at 51
Right. I figure I'm going to level all my DPS classes using PotD, HoH, and Bozjan.
And level tank/healer in dungeons.
oh that sucks 😦 another 100gb download
Game components still need to be installed regardless. It was probably having a hiccup with old files already present
Where do I enter my keys for expansion and game?
Mogstation
Mogstation
Even for steam version?
Yes, because you're activating things with Square Enix. Steam is a separate entity that doesn't handle your account.
Game first then expansions
I know but where on the site do I enter expansion code
https://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?kid=78771&id=5383&la=2&ret=main This should take you through the process
I already activated game
I'm so blind
The thing is massive in pink and I didn't see it
.....
Ok now it's downloading the rest of the stuff Thanx guys
For the help
How do I fly my cloud on controller?
you need to have flying unlocked
Flying is level 50 @oak wind
MSQ?
!faq flying
'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/
Lmao so I have a nimbus just to float until lvl 50?
yes
Yes
Eventually all mounts fly
Don't ask how they all do
Lmfao
I was surprised too
Ok thank you for the info
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
no
No
I wanted to buy a collectors edition but they don't have it on steam

Is byakko’s mane a coffer item? Or a static drop per clear?
just upgrade on mog station
coffer item you roll for it, im not sure if it can drop into inventories but definitely a coffer item
So monthly sub is 13$ or is it 20$ like the game?
!faq subprice
$13-$15 depending on what you pick
only if you add additional retainers (+$2 each) will it go to 20 or more
its a discount for buying more days up front
So I pay the full 77$?
yes
question about diamond extreme, after the number mechanics finish how do i know where im supposed to go? like do i stay or cross to the other side
