if that was the case

[onyx anchor]

but it increases the gauge

[faint flare]

!action Enpi

[zinc orbit]

**Enpi** : lvl 15 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a ranged attack with a potency of 100.
Enhanced Enpi Bonus Potency: 320
Additional Effect: Increases Kenki Gauge by

Powered by XIVAPI

[glossy flare]

ah my bad, confused it with yaten

[onyx anchor]

'Enhanced'..?

[glossy flare]

using Yaten enhances Enpi

so it deals more dmg and refunds the kenki cost

however enpi breaks combos

so... eh

[faint flare]

(reading the tooltips of your skills help alot fyi)

[glossy flare]

often you don't wanna use it

but it's nice to have sometimes

[onyx anchor]

oh, i don't have Yaten yet

next level xD

[glossy flare]

welp, you're close 😄

[forest lark]

What ilvl willl be next relic upgrade?

[faint flare]

535

[forest lark]

Good

[glossy flare]

it will be better than the savage weapons then

until 6.0 anyway

[delicate field]

when you queue for a specific dungeon, does it also queue you with ppl doing leveling roulette?

[glossy flare]

it might, yeah

[slate arrow]

Usually depends.

I think it tries to find someone queueing for a dungeon normally before it drags in people from roulette

[forest lark]

So its no point going fir weapon like diamond or emeral, edenmoen?

[lyric warren]

do i have to buy the chicken suit for it to get added to the Recompense officer?

[glossy flare]

well as of right now the edenmorn weapons are still bis

and maybe you hate the grind

[little swift]

edenmorn weapon is 535

[little swift]

its only likely going to be slightly worse than the relic

[warm snow]

You won't get any gear higher than 530 in Endwalker to around level 84/85

So diamond weapons which are the easiest to get would still be worth having

[buoyant sorrel]

The only thing left to do with tomestones of poetics and allegories (if you don't need them for the crystarm gear) is to buy gear to desynth or trade for seals right?

I can't remember if there's anything else you can do with them

[warm snow]

You can also use poetics to buy items to make anima relics for glamour

And anima weapons are gorgeous

[dire reef]

What's fashion report for again?

[warm snow]

Fashion report mini game in gold saucer

[strange coral]

Earning 60k MGP a week

[dire reef]

Oh yea MGP

[buoyant sorrel]

Oh okay I haven't done the anima weapon stuff yet, I see a lot of stuff about them and how much grinding ya gotta do for em, those are at the end of heaven sword aren't they?

[strange coral]

Yes, they are the HW relics

[buoyant sorrel]

Oh HW I thought it was HS

[warm snow]

They're honestly pretty easy to get they just cost a fuck ton of poetics

[warm snow]

Heavensward as in to gaze towards the heavens

[boreal storm]

Or as in the Heavens’ Ward

[hollow violet]

Is there a way to communicate with those 2 souls sharing the neverending queue with me?

[warm snow]

No

[hollow violet]

😦 Thanks

[warm snow]

Palace of the dead?

[hollow violet]

yeah - floors 21-30 are horrible. I was in queue for over 2 hours yesterday before giving up. and multiple times where I've left after 45 minutes

[onyx anchor]

What does it mean "Can only be executed under the effect of Eyes Open"?

[hollow violet]

Complete change of topic - can you organize the draft style tournaments for triple triad on your own if you have enough players to fill it?

[boreal storm]

You can only use it when you have the effect “Eyes Open”

[twilit arch]

third eye gives you a buff called "Eyes Open" when its proc'd

!action third eye

[zinc orbit]

**Third Eye** : lvl 6 SAM (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces the amount of damage taken by the next attack by 10%.

[mental oracle]

How do you remove these restrictions for classes? https://i.imgur.com/d17UcyI.png

[onyx anchor]

Oh, it doesn't mention that

[mental oracle]

in pf

[onyx anchor]

Oh, probably doesn't mention it because I don't need it for anything I have

[strange coral]

When you edit the PF listing there's options to change or remove those

[mental oracle]

which option is it? unselect classes?

[shrewd ermine]

I want to play FFXIV on my PS5 but it says I have no valid service account and now I'm sad

[mental oracle]

or do you have to do 1 by 1?

[strange coral]

Unselect or Remove role restrictions. I think either one works

[stiff skiff]

So does anyone here know what the calfskin biker jacket looks like.

[strange coral]

Oh no, I'm wrong. Unselect classes is to block base classes from joining

[harsh torrent]

bit of a weird one

but I forgot my security question

can I change it somehow

or is that too dicey

just wanted to change my password

[twilit arch]

!iglam Calfskin Rider's Jacket

[zinc orbit]

**Calfskin Rider's Jacket** **:** Body

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[stiff skiff]

Yes, is there a way the jacket can be taken off so just the turtleneck shows?

[twilit arch]

no

[harsh torrent]

[shrewd ermine]

How do I make my service account valid

[devout jetty]

In New Game Plus, I know you can't get XP, but what about the dungeons? Do they give XP? Or are they skippable?

[strange coral]

You'll have to contact SE support

[twilit arch]

dungeons would still give you exp

[harsh torrent]

email right?

[devout jetty]

Oh that's good to know!

[strange coral]

Or chat or phone. The support site gives you options

[lilac flume]

in general, whats the "exchange rate" between crit/DH and mainstat (str/int/dex)? that is, at what amount is crit/DH "worth" more than a mainstat?

[shrewd ermine]

You can play on both PC and PS5 right or do I need to make a new service account since it isn't working 😦

[stiff skiff]

So when I reach level 60 my level gets capped, does it stop letting me play the game with that character even if I'm not trying to do quests?

[faint flare]

You just stop getting xp

[strange coral]

You can use the same account, but you have to buy the game separately if you don't already own it on PS4/5

[faint flare]

On that job

[shrewd ermine]

I wanted to use free trial on PS5 but since it would not let me in I bought a subscription.

But it still won't let me in so I am confused.

[faint flare]

If you own the gamr on pc you need to buy it again on console to play there

[twilit arch]

https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/how-to-be-a-math-wizard/shadowbringers/ @lilac flume

[shrewd ermine]

Free trial or starter edition?

My character is still under level 60.

[faint flare]

buy the game again

[strange coral]

Were you playing on free trial on PC? Or did you already own the game on PC?

[faint flare]

Free trial isn't buying the game

[shrewd ermine]

I have all expansions on PC but nothing on PS5.

[faint flare]

Then

Buy the game again

On console

[remote lintel]

if you want to use your character on another platform you need to buy it on that platform

[faint flare]

Then you can use the same account

[strange coral]

Then you own the game and cannot do free trial on that account. You have to buy the PS version to play it on PS with that account.

[shrewd ermine]

But it won't let me buy the complete edition since it claims I already own it 🤔

[remote lintel]

you cannot have the free trial with that character

[faint flare]

You buy it on the ps4/5

[shrewd ermine]

I accidentally bought complete edition today and refunded it but now it won't let me buy it again which is strange because apparently I need that version now

[strange coral]

You refunded the PS version?

[stiff skiff]

Anyone here know how to get a plain tanktop in FFXIV......

[shrewd ermine]

Yes. I first assumed I only needed the trial but added the complete edition to my cart. I refunded the complete edition.

And I went to try if I could just use the trial.

[remote lintel]

that sounds like an issue for support

@stiff skiff what race and gender

[strange coral]

You probably will have to contact support. I think your PS account stays linked to your mogstation account when you refund. And they have to unlink it for you.

[stiff skiff]

Hyur

Male

[shrewd ermine]

I did the linking after the refund though.

But it is all very strange I guess.

[remote lintel]

skyworker's singlet, craftsman's singlet, hempen undershirt @stiff skiff

[stiff skiff]

what are the other two?

[strange coral]

Still, refunding probably puts your account status in a weird place. Only support can fix that.

[remote lintel]

what other two

[shrewd ermine]

I can still buy the starter edition and complete collectors edition for some reason.

[stiff skiff]

Oh are those all combined in one??

[remote lintel]

no theyre 3 different options for a tank top

[shrewd ermine]

But not sure if it's a PSN issue or a square issue.

[stiff skiff]

This person here is using Skyworkers Singlet and Hempen Dalmatica of Gathering, that's it.

And it's just a tanktop. Nice and plain.

Nothing fancy. That's what I want

[remote lintel]

yes

you can use

the skyworker's singlet

or the craftsman singlet

[stiff skiff]

Is it dyeable as well

[remote lintel]

or the hempen undershirt

yes

theyre all dyeable

[stiff skiff]

bet.

[shrewd ermine]

I think my PSN is bugged since I can't even load my transaction history anymore

[devout jetty]

If I'm level 60ish and I do a level sync early dungeon from near the veeeeery beginning of ARR via Duty Finder, how does the XP scale?

[faint flare]

Dungeons dont scale xp

[wispy shell]

Is there a minion like this?

[strange coral]

Yes

[faint flare]

The daily roulette bonus scales on your level

[strange coral]

https://ffxivcollect.com/minions/241

[devout jetty]

Ohhh that explains it. Thank you!

[faint flare]

But if you enter the dungeon directly, you're getting xp that it normally gives

[devout jetty]

Gotcha, thanks

[wispy shell]

Thanks

[timber rock]

How can I exit combat?
I poisoned some Striking Dummies and now I'm in combat with them and I'm assuming that it's preventing me from equipping any new stuff

[covert crater]

Guys why nobody plays Eden promise I wait in the que for over 40 min

[strange coral]

Target the dummy, right click it's HP bar, select Reset Enmity

[modest igloo]

non prime hours. wait until the evening for better ques

[covert crater]

It’s like 8 pm in London

[timber rock]

can I use this to escape from enemies that I shouldn't have aggroed?

[covert crater]

Still no people to be found it’s like this every day

[timber rock]

e.g. the lvl12 mobs near the starting area

[faint flare]

No

[strange coral]

No, it's specifically for the dummies

[timber rock]

ah, makes sense

[boreal storm]

You try setting up a party?

[glossy flare]

there's not much reason to run normal mode raids after you cleared them once so that is probably why

There are easier and more efficient ways to get better gear now

unless you are trying to queue for savage in which case that won't work at all

[dense fjord]

Can anyone help me with mending some materia? I need to get my Gae Bolg

[faint flare]

Materia melders npcs in cities will do it

They're marked on the map

[dense fjord]

Whenever i talk to them i just either get a text box or nothing :(

[faint flare]

You need to unlock melding

Black brush station, then go north to the camp site

[glossy flare]

don't we have an faq for that?

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

technology smort

[nocturne void]

im level 60 forst time through story and my inventory is full with alot of like "2 wolf fangs" or "jellyfish slime" crafting stuff. can i just sell all this stuff or is it recommended i hold on it?

[dense fjord]

ive unlocked melding though, i just never get the option. The item i need to meld needs level 50 in my craft, im level 25

But the NPCs only have the option for removal

[faint flare]

Npcs dont remove materia

Thats a thing you do

[delicate field]

@nocturne void sell all that stuff on the MB. if you ever wanna level crafting later on there are ways that dont use monster drops and such

[dense fjord]

well its the only meteria related thing in the text box

[faint flare]

Wrong npc

[nocturne void]

cool im not interested in crafting at all unless i need to later but good to know thanx

[faint flare]

Materia melders

They're in cities

And marked on the map

[nocturne void]

are u a mod on here or something or just around cuz u have been endlessly helpful here lol

[faint flare]

No

[nocturne void]

well bless ur heart then

[delicate field]

@nocturne void crafting is nice if you want to make money instead of spending money

[timber rock]

Ngl I don't understand how the chat works, I tried to send a dm to someone (I think) and nothing at all showed up in the chat box indicating that I had sent a message, I didn't notice a reply either so I'm not sure if I got one or not.
Is there some sort of separate chatbox for direct messages or is it just supposed to not show your own messages.

[nocturne void]

im leveling right now and havent had to buy anything yet honestly. what do people tend to spend gil on during leveling?

i know there is alot im missing

im level 60 wiht shire gear is there anything else helpful i could spend gil on?

or just save for now

[delicate field]

well exarchic gear is like 100-200k per piece and you need 12 pieces. but there's better armor you can buy with tokens and stuff...

depends how fast you wanna get your ilvl up

[strange coral]

It does show your messages by default, but it also should show an error if there was a problem sending the message (such as the other person being offline)

[nocturne void]

wht lvl is exa gear for?

[delicate field]

level 80, ilvl 520

[modest igloo]

base is 510, augmented is 520

[delicate field]

what ilvl is cryptlurker

that one can be bought for "free" with tokens from dungeons

[modest igloo]

520, augmented to 530

[nocturne void]

so yeah my plan was to save gil for lvl cap, thats what i should be using it for is exa gear lvl 80?

[scarlet widget]

Is there a way to see how many times you've played a triple triad match? (against npcs) wondering out of curiosity

[timber rock]

ah, private messages aren't available for poor people

great

[modest igloo]

edenmete is 510, edenmourn is 530

[delicate field]

@nocturne void well check out what @modest igloo is listing, those armor are "free" as in you can farm for them without gil

so you can save your gil for glam lol

[nocturne void]

oh okay cool, yeah i do care very much about glam later so i think thts my plan lol

[delicate field]

you can buy an apartment for 500k if you dont think you'll ever be able to afford a house

[nocturne void]

im lvl 60 wil 1,000,000 gil is tht avg or really bad lol

[modest igloo]

nah thats average

[nocturne void]

cool yeah im just msq and daily rou. atm

cool thx for info yall

[buoyant sorrel]

What gifts go to who in the seasonal even thing?

[modest igloo]

look at the item name when you get it

"gift for children"

[buoyant sorrel]

Is that further along in the quest? I mean the rabbit and chicken stuffed toys

The painted eggs filled with treats and the opulent archon eggs

[vast crown]

oh the easter event?

[modest igloo]

oh those lol

i thought you meant fetes

[buoyant sorrel]

Yup

[vast crown]

I'm not actually sure if there is a right option, I went with my gut. I could be wrong though..

[buoyant sorrel]

Go with gut gotcha

Lol

[stiff skiff]

Is it possible to join a grand company in free trial, I'm trying to get my mount right now since I reached level 20.

[glossy flare]

it is, yes

you will join one just by doing the main story

so continue with that

[faint flare]

Its mandatory for story

It can't be missed

[stiff skiff]

I was told I had to do a quest.

[faint flare]

Your level means nothing

[strange coral]

You can't skip ahead to it either

[faint flare]

Story level is everything

[glossy flare]

The quest to unlock your chocobo will appear right under your msq tracker once you can unlock it

gotta do more story first though

[stiff skiff]

msq tracker?

[faint flare]

Top left

[glossy flare]

main story quest tracker

top left thingy

like this, just with actual quests

[stiff skiff]

Oh okay gotcha, Imma keep doing those until I see the right mission pop up

what's it called?

[glossy flare]

my little chocobo

but just for the record again, main story progress is everything

having a high level without it is absolutely meaningless

[remote lintel]

when you get forced to join a grand company then youll know

they literally lock you in a room with 3 npcs and make you choose

[buoyant sorrel]

Is the only difference between savage and normal raids the aoe indicators for an attack aren't there?

[faint flare]

No

There's new mechanics as well

[glossy flare]

savage versions have way more mechanics to watch out for

[faint flare]

Sometimes new phases

[buoyant sorrel]

Oh good lord

[glossy flare]

they also have enrages

[faint flare]

Rarely, an entire different fight in the as well

[glossy flare]

as in if you don't kill the boss fast enough the boss just kills you

[frozen wind]

how do i check my parse?

I just downloaded ff14 log

[buoyant sorrel]

Fun, do they deal more damage?

[faint flare]

On fflogs after uploading it

[frozen wind]

and the client tool and uploaded my stuff

[faint flare]

Yes

[glossy flare]

savage fights are just harder on all fronts, essentially

[faint flare]

More damage, more hp, more mechanics, no aoe markers if any

[pearl cedar]

how do you get the nier raid? i really want to outfits but im super low level,, when do you unlock the copied factory

[faint flare]

Lv80

[frozen wind]

all its showing is this

[faint flare]

After finishing Shadowbringers

[pearl cedar]

sigh

[faint flare]

Ranking tab

At the top

Nier is thos expansions 24man

So

[pearl cedar]

so

[frozen wind]

still nothing 😦

[pearl cedar]

you're saying it'll take me ages lmaoo

[gray prism]

Any tips for catching Namitaro?

[faint flare]

You're looking at an old fight

[frozen wind]

ah so it wont check parses for older fights?

bleh at least i can still use this data for ff14 analysis to see what i did wrong and could do better

[devout crystal]

Using a macro is almost a must in this game? Any good macro / must have macro you guys can share please?

[strange coral]

Make sure you're using the right bait, at the right spot, with the right weather. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Namitaro

[faint flare]

Only UI macros

Combat macros are purposely fucking garbage

[devout crystal]

Yes. That is what I meant.

[faint flare]

#protips-and-ui have some ui macros

For collapsable hotbars

[stiff skiff]

That's in Gridania right?

[delicate field]

if you change class a lot, a macro for /gearset is nice

[devout crystal]

I see.

[faint flare]

You dont need a gear set macro

[delicate field]

you do you

[faint flare]

Just drag them to the hotbar

[strange coral]

No, Waking Sands iirc

[delicate field]

I have 21 gearset, that's a big hotbar

[devout crystal]

Any tanking/ warrior specific macros?

[faint flare]

And

I fit all my jobs

In my controller hotbar

Your point?

[delicate field]

everyone has different preferences

[frozen wind]

quick question since no one in the summoner main seems to be on

is this a good opener?

and how many dreadwyrm trances should I ideally get in a window?

[faint flare]

4th gcd trance?

Usually its first or 3rd depending on what trance timings you're doing

You dont sit in DWT for long, you exit it immediately once you've ready for bahamut

Also enkindle isnt under devotion which is a dps lost

[frozen wind]

I dont?

[faint flare]

DWT gives us no benefit

There's no reason to stay in it

[frozen wind]

Oh I usually try to get as many ruins out of my dreadwymrs before ending it wiht a flare

[faint flare]

Unlesd you're using it to move

There's no reason to stay in DWT

[frozen wind]

not evne for ruin casts?

[faint flare]

There's no dps gain

It offers no benefit

Instant cast ruins dont help you unless you're moving

Or needing extra weave windows

You end it asap when you're ready for bahamut to get to your ACTUAL damage

And get an akh morn and some WWs under devotion

https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/smn/guide/openers/

[frozen wind]

so how many ruins should I use before going stragiht to bahamut phase?

[faint flare]

You typically get into bahamut around the 6th gcd

See Akhmorning.com

[obsidian patio]

Most of the time from what I see you end DWT by the 2nd or 3rd ruin at most, unless you need the movement

[faint flare]

Its purely just set up

Once you got 4 ruin stacks and enkindle and devotion are 20+s sec away, yeet it out

[stiff skiff]

There's no black dye?

[faint flare]

Quite a few

[obsidian patio]

Soot Black for the cheap option, Jet Black for the expensive option.

[stiff skiff]

Where though

[open coral]

Market board

[stiff skiff]

I'm on free trial

any other way

[obsidian patio]

Then you’ll need to craft it yourself

Just needs any crafter at 30

[faint flare]

Some dyes arw crafted or brought from special vendors

[open coral]

Or you could get really lucky and get Soot Black dye running the Fractal Continuum (level 60 dungeon)

[boreal storm]

Soot black can be bought from the Ixal vendor

[stiff skiff]

hOW Do I add the dy

[boreal storm]

Respected rank is needed

[stiff skiff]

e

[boreal storm]

right click gear with clear circles

"dye"

[open coral]

You'll need to have done the "Simply to Dye For" in Vesper Bay to unlock the ability to dye.

Then have the dye in your inventory.

Then either right click and select the "dye" option on a specific piece of dyeable gear or open the dye menu through the General commands in the Actions and Traits menu.

[manic flare]

should i be using titan's egi assult part of SMN rotation?

[faint flare]

Only in burst aoe situations

[golden spire]

How do you get the Akademia Prospectuses housing item?

[manic flare]

can you give example?

[faint flare]

In UwU, titan is used briefly to kill the plumes faster

[slate arrow]

when you're in a dungeon pull

[faint flare]

Garudas Slipstream takes too long

When Mountain buster is more upfront damage

[strange coral]

You buy it from the gem vendor in the Tempest

[golden spire]

Thank you!

[upper pendant]

whats the fastest way to level btn to 60?

[twilit arch]

leves, can add timed node collectables at 50+

daidem's alright for exp, but generally leves are going to be faster

[onyx anchor]

Should I start with the Ironworks armour or the blade?

[twilit arch]

weapon first

[onyx anchor]

Kk

[faint flare]

Weapons are the most important piece of gesr

Weapon damage is THE best stat in the game

[agile laurel]

why are people talking about cows in diamond ex pf

is this some new strat or just dumb jokes?

[timber rock]

How much does spell speed affect casting times?
e.g. how much of a difference is there between having 0, 1 or 2 spell speed?

[glossy flare]

https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/stats/speed/

tl;dr: it works in tiers

So it doesn't have a 1:1 conversion to reduced CDs

[timber rock]

ah

so it has little to no effect when my armor has +1 Spell Speed

[glossy flare]

That has next to no effect, yeah

But that is also a low level piece of gear

[timber rock]

yeah, currently lvl 8

[glossy flare]

yeah, don't worry about substats until you hit max level

[timber rock]

substats?

[faint flare]

Things like speed and crit

[timber rock]

I see

[glossy flare]

Vinyl you take over, my queue popped 😄

[timber rock]

I'm guessing that str, dex and so on are main stats then

[faint flare]

Main stats are things like Strength, int etc

Yes

Each job uses only 1 main stat

Rest dont affect them

[timber rock]

btw what's the difference between these two?

[faint flare]

Shop selling is what npcs will sell it to you

Meaning its buyable somewhere

[timber rock]

Makes sense

[faint flare]

Sell for X is what you get if you sell it to them

[timber rock]

I see, I see

how do intelligence and such affect the damage calculations?

[faint flare]

Much more than substats

[oak swan]

It might not be the place to ask this, but i'm new and wanted to start the game and got this weird dx11.exe error when starting the game

Anyone have a fix?

[twilit arch]

the website link has information on both main and sub stat calculations

[faint flare]

Weapon damage >>> main stats >>> substats in terms of how much they affect dps

[timber rock]

Does weapon damage affect spell damage?

[faint flare]

Yes

It affects all damage

[timber rock]

I see

[faint flare]

Its the best stat in the game

For damage

[timber rock]

and what is this Potency listed in my spells

[buoyant sorrel]

I just experienced my first train for Hunts and holy smokes that was wild, how does it all come together?? How do you know where the monsters will be?

[faint flare]

Its relative strength

Ie a 100 potency hit is double the damage of a 50 potency hit

[modest igloo]

train leaders have a discord to keep track of all spawns across the servers

they keep track and call hunts when they appear or when there's enough for a train

[buoyant sorrel]

How do they know when they'll spawn? How on earth do they track it?

[remote lintel]

they have scouts

and they have a bot that tells them when something spawned

[modest igloo]

people go and confirm that it spawned

[remote lintel]

so they see all 12 spawns and call a hunt train

[modest igloo]

https://ffxivhunt.com/

[twilit arch]

it makes it easier to keep track when you know the kill time of A rank

[modest igloo]

this site has literally every hunt and location on it

[twilit arch]

because A ranks spawn with in a set time

[buoyant sorrel]

Oh

[twilit arch]

so you have an approximate window of when they next one will spawn

[buoyant sorrel]

I think I'm just having moment after that experience but that was insane ^^

[neat stratus]

Are there alot of skills in my skill list that aint being used? I feel like theres so many abilities that does "nothing"

[open coral]

There will always be some skills that see less use because they're situational or level-specific

[twilit arch]

for every job most if not all skills are used in some form or fashion

[open coral]

Like for White Mages, Cure 1 gets phased out once you gain access to Cure 2

[candid ruin]

anyone knows how can i get Scion Traveler set?

[twilit arch]

its from the msq

so just keep going with that and you'll get it eventually

[candid ruin]

do u know maybe if its before first expansion? or between first and second

ohh okay nvm, 70lv

[buoyant sorrel]

Do i have to do something special to unlock eden's promise savage? I've talked to lewrey in mord squad and just get dialog

[faint flare]

Its in the high end duty tab

After unlocking it

Not the regular duty finder

[buoyant sorrel]

Oh thank you I didn't look thwre

[faint flare]

All current savage, extremes and all ultimates go there

And eventually cycle out when they're not current (except ultimates)

[buoyant sorrel]

Ah okay

[dense quiver]

is it possible to get a personal home? or only those limited ones on plots?

[faint flare]

If you can find a open plot

[open coral]

It's possible, if you're lucky and have the gil

[faint flare]

And buy it

[remote lintel]

or get an apartment

[dense quiver]

can i customize the appartment?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its smaller than houses

Just a single room

[dense quiver]

well i am fine with that, alright thanks

[devout lichen]

does blue mage only go up to level 70 or the ffxiv page on it wasn't updated

[neat stratus]

When does the "Sprout" next to your name go away?

[modest igloo]

only 70

[modest igloo]

168 hours of playtime, started shadowbringers

[devout lichen]

so you are locked out from 70+ content?

[modest igloo]

yep

[devout lichen]

oh, but why

[modest igloo]

bc blue mage is extremely strong

and hard to balance

[remote lintel]

because blue mage one shots dungeon bosses

[devout lichen]

well then make it less strong idunno, I wanna play the rest of the game lol

[remote lintel]

then its not blue mage anymore

[modest igloo]

they also cant do UCOB or UWU

[strange coral]

Blue mage is side content. Not meant to be a class you do endgame with.

Or even MSQ

[devout lichen]

oh, well I was excited to try it out but in that case

[halcyon radish]

What is this AoE? i think it's someone's heal right?

[remote lintel]

no

[twilit arch]

no that's doton

[strange coral]

Ninja's Doton

[remote lintel]

its ninja dot

[twilit arch]

ninja's aoe

[halcyon radish]

ahh ok

I see it a lot and never knew ty

[neat stratus]

@modest igloo That actually true 😄 ?

[remote lintel]

yes

[halcyon radish]

I like to know what other peoples' AoEs do

lol

[devout lichen]

why does blue mage oneshot anyway

[modest igloo]

...fun?

[remote lintel]

because thats how it is

[modest igloo]

blue mage is "here's 100 spells that eneimes use, go break the game with them"

[remote lintel]

it was never designed to be a regular class

[timber rock]

Can I sell any item to any merchant or do I have to find e.g. a blacksmith to sell a sword?

[twilit arch]

any merchant

[remote lintel]

any vendor

[abstract vapor]

is it good idea to macro Raise on WHM or its funky like other macros

[remote lintel]

its not necessary

[pulsar escarp]

funnkyyy but ehhh

[abstract vapor]

k

[faint flare]

Just have the text on a seperate macro if you really want something to announce it

[abstract vapor]

do you have an example for it

[faint flare]

/p raising

Just that is enough

[abstract vapor]

oh I see ty ty

[jolly whale]

Excuse me, why the hell does it cost $15 to get 2FA

[agile laurel]

it... doesn't?

[strange coral]

The physical keyring thing cost money, the app doesn't

[agile laurel]

do you not just download the app

[jolly whale]

"Starting July 2, 2019, the Square Enix Security Token will no longer be sold on the Square Enix Account Management System. Instead, the security token will be sold on the Square Enix Store website. Alongside this, the price will be changed to $14.99 (USD). Security tokens add an additional layer of security to your Square Enix Account. Once a token has been registered, you will be required to enter a one-time password generated by the token when logging into any service using a Square Enix Account."

I guess I misunderstood what a security token was

I thought it was a virtual token not a physical one

[agile laurel]

these tokens are the physical keyrings

however, you can also just download the app

and register for 2FA there

[onyx anchor]

What's BLU's 8th Spell?

[agile laurel]

final sting.

[onyx anchor]

how do you get it...?

[boreal storm]

Get bee close to death, bee does kamikaze attack, hope you survive, hope you get spell

[hollow violet]

can you do dungeons for anima weapons unsyncd?

[twilit arch]

yes

[hollow violet]

thanks

[agile laurel]

go to the bit of la noscea with summerford in it, go to the north, find wespes, get them very low, make sure you're above 90% hp

wait for sting

[modest igloo]

ok, got a tough one here. My friend is trying to unlock the SB exs. he's done the normals, done the MSQ, and even done and unlock the four lords EX. but the wandering minstral has nothing for him on the first 4. any ideas?

[onyx anchor]

how low is very low tho

[sour ruin]

Is he going to the ministril in kugane

[glossy flare]

afaik there is no other requirement after completing the normal modes

but yeah, are they trying the correct NPC in Kugane?

[boreal storm]

Inches from death

[modest igloo]

yeah, i saw him and he literally has nothing

[open coral]

For Final Sting, you can also use your chocobo as bait for the sting to ensure you survive.

[glossy flare]

That is super weird

Did they check if they didn't already unlock them?

[lilac flume]

if you have a chocobo companion with multiple trees on the free stance, does it prioritize healing when your hp is low and attack otherwise or is it just random which skills it uses?

[modest igloo]

hmmm maybe

[onyx anchor]

Is this not low enough?

[twilit arch]

it uses its healing skills at certain percents

[raven sage]

Pretty sure it's the killer wespes not those ones

[twilit arch]

yeah it is

[lilac flume]

so it uses attack/tank skills and heals when low? from what i read on the wiki it seems like it prioritizes autoattacks. im trying to figure out what would be best for grinding fates

[twilit arch]

just leave it in free stance

[boreal storm]

Killer wespe are in Middle La Noscea, around (x15,y13)

[worthy venture]

So I mained monk, back in 1.0 and I was wondering how are they nowadays?

[glossy flare]

positionals: the job

[remote lintel]

theyre fine

not as boring

[glossy flare]

but yeah, they're solid

[warm snow]

At least they made greased lightning better

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any way to tell what orchestration is playing in a player house you visit? 🙂

[faint flare]

Fast punchy boy go brr

[worthy venture]

Rofl

[remote lintel]

try interacting with the orchestrion?

[leaden ginkgo]

It won’t let me

[worthy venture]

I don't mind changing positions unless it's more changing sides than before lol

[open coral]

There should usually be a system message that says "X is now playing"

[twilit arch]

No, there's no way to tell

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah ok no worries

[twilit arch]

actually the system message might appear but afaik the system message only appears when there's a playlist. if there's one song playing pretty sure you're sol

not sure

[glossy flare]

That wasn't meant to be discouraging, it's just that monk out of all the melees has the most positionals

As in... all of their gcds are positionals

But that's not bad, that's just part of their kit

[worthy venture]

Oh don't trip I didn't take it any other way because the only other class I remember having a positional was dragoons

[open coral]

All melee dps have positionals now

[remote lintel]

all melees have them

[worthy venture]

ooooo, so monk is just the champion of positionals. Got it

[glossy flare]

They also have the most tools to ignore positionals, ironically

[open coral]

MNK is the only one that requires positionals for all of their main rotational gcds.

[faint flare]

Monk has 6, dragoon, ninja has 3 samurai has 2

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh Damn. Do you think if I posted a sample here someone would know?

[remote lintel]

possibly

[twilit arch]

yea can post a video here of it

[worthy venture]

Gotcha, I'm def gonna probs give it a try again

Ty gang

[neat stratus]

Is there a reason for ranged jobs being behind on damage vs melee and casters?

[glossy flare]

that's not a universally true statement

for example mch is quite high on the list

[fallow vortex]

does anyone know what the best current dutys to spam to get the battle lion and the warlion mounts would be?

[neat stratus]

I saw a vid of some guy with pics of logs, and historically they are last every single time no ?

[agile laurel]

the logic is easier to perform and thus lower output

casters and melee suffer from uptime management issues

[faint flare]

Free movement and usually have support abilities

Minus machinist

[neat stratus]

and even with uptime managment they are far above

[glossy flare]

eh... I wouldn't say far

Unless you are going for super fast kills for whatever reason the difference in performance between the jobs is negligible

And even then player skills is the bigger factor

[remote lintel]

because ranged dps can attack from far away and dont need positionals and can move freely while attacking so if they did as much damage as melee they would be op

[agile laurel]

this's my own screenshot, but I've forgotten what weapon this is. any ideas?

[remote lintel]

!iglam Yama Lance

[zinc orbit]

**Yama Lance** **:** Lancer's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[twilit arch]

Iwa-toshi Shin/Iwa-toshi Kai /yama lance

shin is from doma castle, kai is centurio seals and yama is crafted

well rakasha is crafted, yama's augmented

[neat stratus]

@remote lintel why would they be op if they did the same damage? the same dmg would be ok, if they did more, i can understand, but why shouldnt they do the same?

[remote lintel]

damage isnt set in stone

damage is a range

[devout crystal]

Which grand companies to choose from? If there is no real difference and purely for aesthetic then where can I go to see their gears, etc for comparison?

[faint flare]

Because melees have to put in effort.to do damage

Cause of positionals

And uptime

[glossy flare]

they can move freely and they can attack from far away

hence more uptime

in theory at least

[faint flare]

If ranged did the same damage as melees, then why ever bring melees

[remote lintel]

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh it’s the song that plays in Othard-Yanxia-The House of Fierce. Does anyone know what the orchestration name is of the song that plays there? x

[warped nest]

using chess as example

[mossy current]

The Edge

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you!

[mossy current]

are there 1,140 fish in the game

[leaden ginkgo]

It’s been bugging me for weeks! 😂

[warped nest]

melee are kings, short range, but they can move and attack in one round
mages are kinda like queen, but they cannot move and attack in one round in most case
ranged physical are like mages without movement/attack restriction

(not my best, but i hope it conveys why ranged physical has a lower theoretical damage cap)

[twilit arch]

yes because one of the fisher achievements requires 1,140 unique fish

[open coral]

Ranged physical would be the queens - they can attack from anywhere on the board.

Mages would be like... bishops or rooks? They've got the range, but their movement is limited.

[mossy current]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[warped nest]

fair

[mossy current]

oki :D

[neat stratus]

The Road to 70 buff and the armory buff, do they stack?

[warped nest]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[neat stratus]

Does only one of them work on quest turn in?

[warped nest]

yes

road to 70

[neat stratus]

ah, armory is just for kills? or

[twilit arch]

ye

[neat stratus]

I c

ty

[warped nest]

you get so much from road

you can see armory as a tiny bonus on top

[neat stratus]

yeh does it make sidequests a good leveling method for alts? with road to 70 giving 2x xp for quests

[twilit arch]

hm i mean if you really wanna level with side quest, yeah its pretty decent with road to 70

but its not good to be amazing though

[neat stratus]

atm im just doing dungeons and job quests for alts

[twilit arch]

still most likely going to need to supplement with dungeon/potd at points

[neat stratus]

potd?

[glossy flare]

palace of the dead

[twilit arch]

palace of the dead

[neat stratus]

is that available in free trial?

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

can unlock it at lv17 after you do copperbell

its called "The house that death built" in gridania

[manic flare]

does DP stack?

[leaden ginkgo]

It does not afaik

[faint flare]

No

[manic flare]

so this is just a meme move t hen?

[obsidian patio]

It only stacks once, IIRC

[wintry chasm]

They might not know better

[manic flare]

they aren't sprouts

[glossy flare]

two dancers can partner each other but they can't both partner the same person

[wintry chasm]

You can not be a sprout and still be stupid/not know

[glossy flare]

Because if they partner each other it's different buffs

[faint flare]

Get that devilment uptime xd

[obsidian patio]

Ah right

[wintry chasm]

You're not a sprout right Snack?

[manic flare]

i'm a sprout

yes

[wintry chasm]

Oh well, ruined, whatever

[manic flare]

lmao

[open coral]

I am not a sprout, and there are plenty of things that I don't know about classes I don't play or don't play often.

[neat stratus]

@twilit arch done that, how do I access it? is it a place I go to , or from the menu somewhere?

[twilit arch]

you go to quarrymill and talk to the expedition captain to queue

its not like dungeons where it gets added to the duty finder

so if you wanna run potd, gotta go to quarrymill everytime

[dire saffron]

regarding retainers - does it make any difference going from level 80 crafted gear from the start of the xpac to, like, higher il stuff? any additional rewards?

[slate arrow]

higher stats

the difference between 510 and 530 is actually quite significant

[dire saffron]

do those stats do anything though

[slate arrow]

oh for retainers

[dire saffron]

yeah

lol

[twilit arch]

higher ilvl = better chance at loot

[oak ice]

Not currently

[twilit arch]

to a point

[slate arrow]

well you do get increased chances for loot

[twilit arch]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[slate arrow]

but quick ventures have a cap at 428

[frozen wind]

Where are the ff14 logs being held?

I tried %AppData%\Advanced Combat Tracker\FFXIV logs\

but could not find it

[dire saffron]

so i can just slap the swallowskin set on my retainers and itll be fine

[twilit arch]

yea

[dire saffron]

[oak ice]

Retainer BiS

[twilit arch]

main reason to go past that, at this point

[frozen wind]

hmmmm'

[twilit arch]

is to prepare for leveling them if you do 1hr specific ventures

but from what i've seen of the quick venture exp changes, those are probably going to be pretty good for lvling so doesn't really matter too much

[dire saffron]

yeah its just gear for level 80

if it doesnt matter then i can save money

[frozen wind]

would really hope someone here can help me with this 😦

im trying to use it for ff14 analysis

[oak ice]

You go on fflogs, click the fight you want to add to xiva, then damage done and click on yourself

That gives you a url with %report

[agile laurel]

in roaming

[oak ice]

Add that url to xiva

[frozen wind]

roaming?

[agile laurel]

appdata

[frozen wind]

I tried the run thign as well if thats what you're suggesting

[agile laurel]

...no

run %appdata%

[leaden ginkgo]

Just to clarify, once I hit level 60, I can still keep playing with the same restrictions?

[faint flare]

Yes

Just stop gaining xp

For that job

[agile laurel]

and having no msq

[frozen wind]

Im good now thanks the balance discord answered my question for me

thanks for the help still earlier

[leaden ginkgo]

You mean after I beat Heavensword right?

[agile laurel]

yes, after you complete all of Heavensward expac, the msq will stop as long as you remain on free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay cool thanks

I wanna wait until I have enough money for a few months before subbing

[limber parcel]

I'm having some difficulties getting the My Feisty Chocobo quest, to my understanding Luquelot in Central Shroud should be offering it, but there's nothing on him

(I'm level 34, joined a grand company and got my chocobo)

[twilit arch]

the pick up for the quest in in south shroud

the quest takes you to luquelot

[limber parcel]

Ahhh thank you!

[austere agate]

Is the mage masher in the game or any knife similar to it?

[remote lintel]

not really?

[polar hound]

not in the game as it was, maybe similar models somewhere but nothing off the top of my head

but no weapon will have a 'proc' effect like that did with silence etc either in xiv

[inner heath]

i threw away a hairstyle accidentally how can i reclaim it? ;-;

[remote lintel]

the same way you got it

[austere agate]

i'm talking about the ix version anyway

[inner heath]

i got it from dr

It's a paid service on the mog station store.

how much USD

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Nice

[fallen axle]

i have a question

if i start a duty finder as 1 class, and i switch to another; firstly will that cancel the duty finder? second, will i have to switch back to the original class to accept it? and third, if i just accept it will it auto-switch me back to the class i first initiated the roulette at?

[faint flare]

No, yes and no

[fallen axle]

awesome thanks for that

[void cargo]

how do you view cutscenes you missed? Is it in the inn?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

The Unending Journal at any innroom

[void cargo]

cheers

[wintry chasm]

gotta finish whatever quest the cutscene is in first fyi

[clear axle]

Hello, my phone decided today was a good day to do a factory reset, how do I remove my 2FA in order to login to my account and then put the 2FA back on?

[faint flare]

Iirc you should have a emergency removal code thing

[glass oyster]

Emergency removal password

[clear axle]

Where would I find that? 😅

[glass oyster]

In your account

You get it when you apply your 2FA

[clear axle]

I can't login to my account... because it's asking for a 2FA

[glass oyster]

Contact Support

[wintry chasm]

^ you were meant to write down your emergency removal password which it seems like you didn't do

Since you didn't do that you got no alternative but call support

[jolly sorrel]

I have a physical token, a super old one too. Should I ever lose it or have it run out of batteries, how would I go about "emergency" logging in?

Said removal password doesn't seem to exist for it

[leaden ginkgo]

Finished 4.1 and starting 4.2. Im whicj quest do they start to talk about the new world in Shadowbringers?

[remote lintel]

they dont until you get there?

[leaden ginkgo]

Really? They don't have a quest that talks about it like in 4.5 etc.

[remote lintel]

story wise the transition begins at 4.4

[faint flare]

Events happen related to Shadowbringers in 4.4

[remote lintel]

but they dont know about it so of course they wont talk about it

[leaden ginkgo]

Interesting

[wintry chasm]

You were given one when you enabled 2FA, you, it exists you just never wrote it down, so again, contact support, literally nothing to do about it

Oh wait you're someone else

[remote lintel]

[jolly sorrel]

I enabled 2FA back in ff11 era D:

It's still going strong, just want to know what to do in case someday the thing gives.

[wintry chasm]

I'll admit I'm not exactly sure if there is a way to find your emergency password in your account somewhere but you could maybe just turn it off and on again and it'll give you a new one?

[remote lintel]

@jolly sorrel can you not switch to the digital 2fa?

[jolly sorrel]

I could, but I'm rather fond of the physical token.

Though there not being a way to disable it after it dies is somewhat of a risk..

[wintry chasm]

No way if you don't write the password

outside of support

[jolly sorrel]

Looking around on reddit, seems other people ran into the issue before. Emergency password does not exist for a physical token, the only way is to indeed contact support-- but generally the experience with support was smooth sailing for them.

I guess that's good enough for me too then

[rich bay]

The emergency password for physical tokens is the code on the back of the token.

You do need to contact support for removal and they will ask for that "password" (and ask some other questions alongside with it.)

[wintry chasm]

The emergency password for physical tokens is the code on the back of the token.
TIL

[jolly sorrel]

That's just the serial number, but it makes sense that that is all support needs.

And some confirmation its indeed you

[glass oyster]

Same

[nova umbra]

to get the "i made that" achievements, do I have to craft every single recipe + every single housing recipe?

[jolly sorrel]

Nope, there's a bit of lenience.

Gotta make most, though

[nova umbra]

just don't craft the master stuff right

[jolly sorrel]

It's like, you can have four or five crafts left to go but already get the achievements.

[rich bay]

It is considered the password for removal too. But the physical tokens have no way to enter it, so that is why you need support.

But i do have seen situations where the token itself went missing or when the code/serial itself becomes unreadable.

[signal aspen]

what's the bozja spell for white mages to nuke things?

[jolly sorrel]

Good call, I'll store the serial in a file somewhere just in case.

[rich bay]

Only the main recipes are needed for that achievement. So on the "left tab" is all you need.

[rich bay]

Essence of the Ordained > Lost Death

It doesn't always work btw, so be on your toes!

[sour spoke]

when trying to buy a house hwile its on the timer, does the house only have a chance to be available every minute or is it any second?

[obsidian patio]

Feels like every second

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm completely new to FFXIV and MMO's at a whole, and am finding the early game a bit of a chore. Is there anything I can do to spice up the early game?

[remote lintel]

dont do every single yellow sidequest

[leaden ginkgo]

I have been focusing on the main quest content but feel like the gameplay is shallow

[glass oyster]

Work on your Main Scenario Quests

[remote lintel]

every class starts out slow

[glass oyster]

It gets better 50+

[leaden ginkgo]

How long would you say it takes to get to level 50+?

[mental garnet]

is the e12s mount a 1-seater?

[remote lintel]

however long it takes you do to the story

[rich bay]

It becomes way better once you get to Heavensward, the ARR story is pretty shallow because it is made so fast for an MMO.

[rich bay]

Yep!

[mental garnet]

frig

thanks!

[polar hound]

most rotations dont start filling out til like 70+ too so ykno..

[mental garnet]

i don't wanna learn e4s 😢

[rich bay]

Every level range has it's own rotations. It is because many of us are too used on the L80 ones.

[rich bay]

Mogshop also have several multiseat mounts as well RAF.

The only other free multiseat mount then the e4s one is the 2000 mentor roulette one afaik.

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, thanks everybody! Grinding and podcasts I guess...

[polar hound]

i mean sure but most rotations dont start filling out/feeling complete til 70+

[remote lintel]

i mean you should be paying attention to the story

you cant level grind in this game

[limber parcel]

As a white mage, I've been doing some googling and everything i've found has said that cure is essentially worthless now that cure II is unlocked, however everything i found was a year or older, is this still the case?

[rich bay]

You just gotta adapt, that is the trick Xaviell.

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

Cure 1 is gcd inefficient

Why cure 1 twice when cure 2 once is better

[limber parcel]

Okay cool, everything i found said that if someone needs small healing, to use Regen

It's showing a potency of 200 though, is that 200 total over the 18 seconds, or 200 a tick?

[faint flare]

A tick

Which happens every 3s

[limber parcel]

Ah ok, much better than i thought then

I thought it would've been something i just use to heal while moving

[faint flare]

Its one of your most efficient heals

[rich bay]

Yes, Cure 1 becomes worthless fast, but keep it on your hotbar in case you get synced below level 30

[faint flare]

Regen is your main heal early

[polar hound]

uh sure but the abilities are literally level locked lol anywho this a discussion topic

[limber parcel]

Ok great, thank you very much 🙂

Is there anywhere i can read up on up-to-date guides for each class, much like wowhead or icy-veins for WoW, if anyones familiar with those

[faint flare]

!faq Balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[faint flare]

For 80 stuff

[rich bay]

Yep, the balance.

[faint flare]

Weskalber youtube for levelling stuff

[limber parcel]

Great thanks 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

um what channel should I go to to ask for a substitute for raid?

[rich bay]

The datacenter channels?

[remote lintel]

recruitment channel

[honest anvil]

[heavy wadi]

It was a part of the ast rework/simplification

[twilit arch]

but that said, before 5.0 they had means of apply AoE buff to their party

via royal road

[glass oyster]

Yes

RIP Royal Road

[honest anvil]

wow

what other jobs didnt get their signature skill til ShB?

[remote lintel]

dark knight if you count the esteem thing

[heavy wadi]

drk's signature is tbn, honestly

didn't nin get a bunch of mudra changes in 5.0?

[twilit arch]

mudra change was making them gcd

[glass oyster]

No. AST had other skills at level 70. Rework happened and Divination (which was added in 5.0) was made a level 50 skill

[austere agate]

i can't do the up in arms quest?

[twilit arch]

did you do it once before

[austere agate]

i equipped the curtana

[twilit arch]

because up in arms isn't a repeatable quest for ARR relic. its a one time unlock. after that, you just have to equip a zenith and go murder fates

[obsidian patio]

And the shield too?

[twilit arch]

in the appropriate zones

[honest anvil]

When do news of which job(s) is getting big expac rework usually come?

[twilit arch]

the media tour is generally when we get the first look at the expac changes

but....kind of sus on whether that's gonna happen

[devout crystal]

Is gathering/crafting classes only for the money-making? Or it is required if you want to min-max your character stats (like in WoW)?

[open coral]

DoH/DoL has no impact on stats.

They're their own independent jobs.

All jobs are independent of one another.

Gear is where stat min-maxing is.

[twilit arch]

if you wanna ignore them, feel free to

[devout crystal]

So mostly for fun and making money?

[open coral]

Pretty much

[twilit arch]

mhm

[remote lintel]

yes

[devout crystal]

But I heard gathering profession is the best for making money for your retainer. So if you want to make the most money out of your retainer I could consider leveling a gathering class right?

[remote lintel]

retainers cant be crafters

so gathering or combat are the only options for retainers

[manic flare]

it doesn't really matter, both are equal in terms of making money

[devout crystal]

I see

[true jolt]

For anyone who ever pre order expansion, when usually we can start PO next expansion?

[manic flare]

i just depends on if you need crafting mats, then having gatherer retainer is more useful

[remote lintel]

@true jolt when SE says so

[manic flare]

what is PO?

[true jolt]

I mean, any specific window? Like after fanfest or something?

[twilit arch]

usually pre orders start after the final fanfest

so most likely going to be after the one in may (since its the only one this time)

[true jolt]

Pre order

[fading aurora]

Where is dancer guild at?

[faint flare]

There's none

[remote lintel]

there is none

[manic flare]

besides the aetheryte earrings, what are typically other pre-order bonuses?

[faint flare]

It starts in limsa

[true jolt]

I see. Guess we will know in 2 weeks

Also, fall 2021 should be around september right?

[obsidian patio]

Glamour item or two

[twilit arch]

sept-oct ish hopefully

[fading aurora]

So like red mage it has no guild?

[faint flare]

Yes

[sage mist]

Do people queue for Edens Gate: Descent in Duty finder?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its normal mode

[remote lintel]

normal yes

not savage'

[sage mist]

ok... Guess just no one Queuing for it. 12m AWT

[open coral]

On which datacenter?

[faint flare]

Its old content so

[open coral]

Primal?

[sage mist]

Primal

[remote lintel]

if youre a dps thats normal

[sage mist]

I'm WHM

[remote lintel]

yeah edens gate is old

[open coral]

It's evening, so people would potentially be queueing for it.

You might have better luck trying around reset time or mid-afternoon server time (around... 2pm-9pm AWT if I'm doing the calculation correctly?).

[wispy shell]

How do you get to the dawn throne? Is it a sidequest?

[remote lintel]

msq

[wispy shell]

ah cool. it didn't listed it as an unlockable location on the wiki so i was wondering how

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests

[glossy bay]

I just brought tidal barding for chocobo how do I put it on ?

[faint flare]

Open the companion window aftwr using the item

[glossy bay]

Thx 🙂

[tribal adder]

when is best time to use hide before pull

and what skill to use after/

[faint flare]

Hide to reset mudras

Put huton up then hide

[leaden ginkgo]

You can macro hide and then unhide

[tribal adder]

o makes sense

[leaden ginkgo]

make it one button

[tribal adder]

i dont need to macro it

[faint flare]

Throw doton as well if you want and pray the tank pulls them into it

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you unhide?

[vernal urchin]

use any skill

[faint flare]

Just..use any skills

[tribal adder]

^

[prime thunder]

Is it normal to have wait over 10 mins for the lord of the inferno duty? Time is taking forevers

[faint flare]

Like the suiton you should already be precasting

[leaden ginkgo]

gcds I see

I got the unhide action clean

press macro and boom! mudras restored

off combat of course

[vernal urchin]

are you dps?

[prime thunder]

Tank

Waiting on a healer and 1 more dps

[vernal urchin]

it happens

[prime thunder]

Yew

Yea

[vernal urchin]

that's the 4-man version, right?

[prime thunder]

Year

I need to do it to progress the story lol

So waiting around

[leaden ginkgo]

as a Healer, if a queue lasts 5 minutes longer than first prediction for me, I quit

[prime thunder]

Lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Waiting is for peasants dps

[vernal urchin]

healers have the quickest queues, then tanks, then dps

though for certain duties, like the 24 man raids, dps is usually in need more often

[leaden ginkgo]

I sense Tanks have it faster

they are more in demand

[delicate field]

healers more in demand

[leaden ginkgo]

in roulette where I am it is always looking for tanks

[vernal urchin]

it's a trade-off, depends on what people are playing that day lol

[glass oyster]

Healers are in more demand generally

[clear axle]

@ whoever helped me answer the question on how to remove the 2FA, I called SE and they fixed it in about 1 minute. Thank you 🙂

[delicate field]

that's a lie

I just finished leveling all healers to 80 and even if tank was in demand, healer would get in within seconds. now doing tanks and sitting 3-4+ minutes in queue when tank is in demand

[faint flare]

The In need isn't really a good display of low role amount tbh

[twilit arch]

regardless healers and tanks are gonna have decently quick queues

[leaden ginkgo]

dps on the other hand

[vernal urchin]

when endwalker comes out healer queues might get slightly longer since people will be leveling sage

but not much longer

[little swift]

Emu this isn't the discussion channel please provide valid and helpful advice or move to #general-discussion

[leaden ginkgo]

shoot

I did it again I swear I thought it was. My bad

[glossy bay]

Is it possible to change the default stance / pose ?

[remote lintel]

no

[vernal urchin]

type /cpose while idle

[glossy bay]

But it resets every time you move

[faint flare]

Wait abit

And it swaps back
