The max obtainable for now is Captain

I think I'm going to dabble in crafters with this alt, but what is their aura?
thats a gatherer
Ahhh, so like what NIN does or like Stealth L in Eureka?
im stuck on a quest
Without the movespeed slow
how
its just a thing so you dont get insta killed by enemies
you can also mount while sneak is active
Is it possible to play FFxiv onehanded?
Probably with a MMO mouse?
technically possible but tough even for jobs with as little buttons as DNC
have you considered crafting instead.
then you just click the buttons
MMO mouse would be your best bet, but it would be pretty tricky
There’s also the one handed keyboards
What is the name of the light monsters in shadowbringers? In french we call them "purgateur"
I guess a better way is to use a MMO mouse to move and manually click the skills? No idea lol
With the big ones being Lightwardens
Actually, use a keyboard with your hand for actions and control movement with your foot. With like a joystick or track ball

Nice, there is even a FF14 themed one
pedals
Yeah also true
finally made it to idyllshire
can i buy the tomestone gear from there immediately or do i have to wait til end of MSQ?
You can
awesomeeeee
Heavensward was special
Its the big building in the centre
Line of 3 girls inside...middle does armour, right does weapons
I was about to ask where is greentear but I found it, nvm
at which 5.x that it is safe to read ShB short stories without being spoiled on the website? And are there other short stories from previous expansions?
yes the other stories are from previous expacs
most of the short stories can be read once you've finished 5.0
though if you wanna be real safe, then save it til you're done with grand cosmos

Where could I acquire a piece of level 5 headgear?
vendor
There should be a merchant right nearby who sells headgear.
Question on the classes - I'm working on leveling a couple that I picked up way back at the beginning and never really went anywhere with.
The ones I've gotten to 80 played very similarly from 1 to 50, and then after 50 I suddenly started getting tons of new abilities and things to do.
How long do DPS wait for dungeon and etc? As a tank I am still waiting about 5-10 min
Is that consistent for all of them, or at least the ARR ones?
You should be getting a lot new new abilities starting at level 30, when you upgrade from a class to a job, not at level 50.
Depends on time. We're moving into offtime on my main server now, and my DPS queue was 20-ish for Leveling Roulette.
Unless you're putting off your entire job questline until 50, which is... not what you should do.
Things improved at 30, but at 50 I started getting stuff like Blood of the Dragon and the OGCDs for WHM.
But generally speaking, yes. Rotations for all classes start getting more involved from level 50 and up. Most classes are considered to have the majority of their kit by level 60.
Although you'll continue to learn abilities or get upgrades to existing ones as you level from 60 to 80, and you'll get a powerful cd at level 70 and 80.
Makes sense. Different priorities in class design with different expansions.
Don't get too attached to any rotations before LV50, then.
!faq blmleveling
You can see here how much it changes.
I'm working on BLM right now, and I've heard enough about how it changes that I wasn't sure if it was just an outlier.
What would happen if I held onto every single Allagan Piece I've gotten throughout the game and then used them all on the Doman Enclave Restoration?
Good to see I'm doing it mostly right, at least.
Nope, BLM is maybe the most drastic about it, but all classes see similar kinds of change over time.
It would take you a good while, but you'd probably be able to pay it all.
You would...get money? You still have a weekly cap, don't forget that
Okay. Thank you. Does that still hold for the classes that were added post-ARR, or are they built differently?
Does the squadron combat manual work in dungeons?
Yes
Damn i missed alot xD
How do I configure the enemy health bars to display percentage?
Some quest require to go duty finder and I'm not confident that I could do much help, I'm so new in this game
would it be ok if I just do the quest(use duty finder) I'm nervous
Post-ARR classes that start at higher levels (RDM, SAM, DNC, GNB) basically start out with the majority of their kits, but on a pure linear level they're the same.
Yes, use Duty Finder. Your party members will be expecting a newbie; the game tells them there's someone new when they start the dungeon.
You're expected to use the duty finder for those instances. Just let people know when you start that it's your first time and people will either explain what you need to do or at least not blame you for doing things wrong.
Thank you very much🌟
How to access the Alexander Savage?
You'll be fine! Follow the tank and hit whatever they're hitting!
It's a setting in the character settings under NPC nameplates, I believe.
Thank you
Where tho?
NPC tab
So you can’t ever get a player home without luck? Can you at least buy gil with real money if it’s that dumb
You can, but RMT is against TOS and can and will get you banned.
What do I change in here to display percentage?
welcome to housing savage
lol
you either need luck or patience
the gil needed is a given
@cursive abyss its under this menu
It's in the UI settings under HUD
My pipe dream is an Ishgard house, but my realistic dream is an island home. Or at least a balcony for my apartment that I can garden on.
Yes. Check that box.
Complete Alexander normal, there should be some
in Idyllshire or Dravanian Hitherlands
Thank you!
And thank you!
@finite topaz thanks
another question
in Idyllshire, is there a difference between the armor sets for tomestones that say DoW I or DoW II?
is the DoW II better gear?
Well how often do plots open up and why would it?
If it’s that hard, how does someone manage to lose one
Plots open up when someone quits the game.
thank you!
If you're unsubscribed for a full month, your house goes away, I believe.
Other than that, people deciding to sell (very rare) or switching to a different plot (also rare).
Housing? Rarely. Either due to someone getting auto-demolished due to extended absence or if new wards are added, which very seldom happens. Auro-demo timer is 45 days
Ots based on tiers, completing first 4 unlocks first 4 savages
Ah!
So is it worth buying the starter edition? I wanted the game cause of the housing, but don’t know how short that is. Can’t say the complete edition would be worth it.
If you wanted to buy the game for the housing, honestly, find another game.
You can probably get an apartment in FF14, which is one room and allows no outdoor decorating. I was able to get one without trouble. If that fits what you're looking for, by all means, get FF14. If you want a full home-decoration experience, you probably want something else.
Yeah, any kind of property’s fine.
If an apartment is okay with you, you shouldn't have a problem. You do still get to set up the furniture and collect weird knick-knacks, and I have enjoyed arranging my own tiny studio apartment.
apartments are barely housing though
just saying that furnishing a house/apartment tends to be expensive and you cant make that much money being locked to lvl 60
they're incredibly limited in what they can do
The 100 item limit doesn't help
This is true. I only got the apartment and furniture after hitting LV 80.
also no one's going around visiting apartments
but you bet your ass people go around visiting houses
This may be a plus, depending on you.
(Got sick of all the random furniture clogging up my inventory, decided to see if I could get an apartment so I had somewhere to put it.)
and yeah, regarding furnishing your house
you're either making your furniture yourself (requiring almost all crafters leveled)
or spending a truckload of money buying it yourself
or in the off case, farming it through a drop
Is it worth it to buy an ALC levekit 1-60 for 800k?
I've never even heard of these things
Someone's offering it in PF
Huh. You can sell those?
idk?
Just level in firmament
and costs under 50k
I would guess it's a collection of all the stuff you need to grind through Alchemist levequests.
I haven't heard of a crafting leveling kit since Ultima Online
maybe 200k if you're extra lazy
honestly these days there's no reason to buy a levekit
I actually have a collection of all the stuff needed to go through the ALC 1-50 questline lying around somewhere, in case I want to do NG+ for it again, but that's mostly useless unless you're actually at LV 50.
Yes, it is.
The festival has not had its end date announced, so it's probably permanent, or at least going to be around for a good while. The Firmament is definitely permanent.
That does not roll off the tongue
Fêtes are permanent
800k is ridiculous for 1-60 though
lmao
it's ridiculous for 1-80
the price you pay for convenience i guess
Out of curiosity what job is the WoL in SB
stormblood?
monk/sam
monk/sam
if we reach lv80 and complete all msq, what should we do first after?
whatever you want
what do you want to do?
raid? farm mounts? make money? hunt glam? endgame craft? housing?

you can start with the weekly restricted stuff
go unlock nier 3 and run that
its loot is only obtainable once per week
Ggs on finishing @burnt crown ^^
the cryptlurker tomestone gear is what to aim for
@burnt crown get all jobs to 80
seem impossible to me XD, but maybe DoL/DoH
tyty!
what level are you currently?
It's not too bad if you just do the roulette on the desired class every day
OKIII, will start with finishing all possible raids, thinking of lvling all healer class first
Cool @burnt crown actually that's what I did haha. got all healers to 80. also all doh/dol
Um I was wondering if the Nightmare Mount was still available? Does it still drop from the ex trials I mean
yes
My goal after LV80 was to get a good gear set for my main class (WHM), and get all the role quests done.
its just a low drop rate, its never been increased
👍
Ah okay ty! ^^
I'm currently at average iLV of 509, mostly through Cryptlurker gear, although there is some stuff from Paradigm's Breach.
The relic weapon quest can eat a ton of time.
i wrote this for myself/my FC
but it may be helpful for you
both you @pearl mesa and you @burnt crown
Thank you! I know what I need, it's just taking a while because of the Revelation tomestone cap and because I wanted to start with the bigger pieces of equipment.
Where do I check whether my auto renewal is on or off
if i have a physical security token, can i now also have a seperate token through say, authy?
TYTY :DDDD
Oh one more question 🙋 do people still run Frontlines?
yes ish
basically prime time is best time to queue for frontline roulette but dont expect queues to be that quick even during prime time
Alrighty ty ^^
is it worth to have a fishing retainer on my second character?
I have botanist, mining. Plan for either x2 combat or 1 combat 1 fisher
ehhh
i'd go 2x combat
fisher retainer is really not that useful, unless you want it for the minions
I can speak from experience, afishing retainer is pretty useless
is the minion buyable on MB?
yes
can you make your retainers not display weapon when you call them through bell?
does the game constantly spawn FATEs purposefully on top of quest zones for me?
im constantly getting FATEs that have aggressive enemies when I try to do quests that have searchable things needed
adn they keep interrupting me
They're randomly spawned in
No, the game is not intentionally trying to screw you over
I think just your typical RNG luck
yeah, it can be a bit annoying. But some side-quest monsters may also spawn from FATEs, which are lower level than their normal counterpart, thus easier to kill

Intellectually I know its just RNG, but it really does feel like everytime I go for something that needs "searching" or "investigating" with a long timer its always in a FATE lol
anyways thanks all, good night
Hey so I’m trying out the PS4 version of the game for the first time. Using a controller for the first time. I noticed that when a target a mob or player and cast a spell my target swaps automatically to a different mob/player. Why is this? Shouldn’t it just keep my current target until I manually switch?
Can Scholars use a level 50 ACN weapon? I want to use it for both Scholar and Summoner.
after level 50 scholars are forced to use the unique book as SMN books only work for Arcanist from that point onwards
usually tho the models are similar/same
not sure if anyone responded to you but you can just use emperor's new weapon
I don't want to worry about ventures for a bit, anyone recommend an instance to farm for gc seals? All my jobs are 80
did you unlock expert deliveries
Yep
run expert and turn in the gear, use GC seals for ventures
if you're willing to do experts, then should do those and need on everything
I was asking for a specific dungeon or trial, like kaelwryn did
Are they about the same? Any tricks to know about?
Time/gc seals wise
ehh not sure on time/gc seal wise. but vautl usually only takes me a couple of minutes to do solo
@fierce cobalt did you unlock expert delivery yet
and assuming you hit every chest should be around 5.7k~ seals per run?
maybeee more i don't remember it vault drops 2 per boss chest or not
@fierce cobalt i gotten 1000+ ventures from hitting gc cap too mcuh with expert delivery of useless items
hey, is there any way I can move faster in town than sprint + peleton + en avant?
with experts its going to be a bit more flux since ofc depends on how much loot per run you get. assuming you get lucky with loot should be around 10k~ per run
peleton doesn't stack with spring @warm zinc
it feels more "passive" if you do the roulette daily and greed on everything, then turn in after
The strongest speed buff overwrites the rest
Question:How do I tske care of my arcanist pet? It keeps hitting multiple mobs even tho i targeted one mob. Is it possible for ps4 to get like some sort of easy macro to manage pets?
the first summon you have is an area of affect pet
so thats why its hitting other mobs even if you personally are only targetting one
you can set it to steady
guys.. what did you do with the event housing item? feels like each event it just keep taking my storage since i never use it. do you guys ever discard it or sumthing?
put it in my house
i usually just keep em on my retainer for a rainy day
Also uhh an apology for players.
I kept on trampling their pets and i think trampled on a bunch of lalas while sprinting
Hi. I'm 39 AST. Why does Undraw exist? Why not just use the card on myself or another player? Undraw deletes the card, but I still have to wait for the the Draw to refresh to get a new card.
its specific to the npc
what npc is that
basically its just something they forgot to remove when they reworked AST
omg for real? That clears up a much needed spot on my skill tray
I've been hoping it would be useful
its not
damn
@manic flare what npc is that
julyan manderville
...
i just realized she's midlander
that would be it
Is there a sword in game that looks close to what Cloud's buster sword looks like?
not really
there is his outfit tho
They are your Job's quest line
Side stories revolving around you and Job NPCs
Some of these job quests unlock skills and traits
So, make sure you attend to them as soon as possible
blue quest
and they appear under your msq tracker on the top left
it's kept track below your msq tracker
That's a icon for side quests that unlock things
Orange exclamation icon, under your MSQ tracker
how can i level up to 10 quickly from 8
i already did hunting log and i need level 10 to get the next part
Do FATEs
ooh yeah
@stiff skiff only Job quests for your current classes/jobs will show
And they will appear only when you have reached specific levels

How do I turn off my sub auto renewal
However many days you have left, you will keep
so if you have 10 days left, you have 10 days to play the game until you need to pay for a sub again
Oh
that's how you turn off auto renew
How do I know the amount of days I've left
it'll show on mogstation/the lower right hand corner of the character select screen ingame
I c. I'll check it out
Go do potd
potd?
Do u have any battle jobs at 17
If I cancel my sub and the remaining days expire
I've to manually resub right? It won't auto sub?
Palace of the Dead is located in south shroud, quarrymill
yes @vital ruin
Ah nice
battle jobs can i be lv 17 on one class but use another class thats lower? @vital ruin
oh nice where is it
oh oops
is there a % drop rate for the timeworn artifacts in PoTD?
Do unlock potd but the time taken to unlock potd is definitely longer than fate spam to get from lv8 to 10 >.>
its higher the lower you go
have you done your lv5 class quest?
im in quarrymill i dont see a quest
the unlock quest is in gridania iirc
da heck? so basically in theory floor 1-10 is considered a higher drop rate?
The house that the deatht built or sth
no, the lower floors, so like 90-100
basically you wanna be doing 150+
since that's when the drop rate is the best for timeworn
You don't have a battle job at 17 then @fading helm
ah man
Idk if MSQ progression matters
but only a fix party
im 36 in msq
if you don't have a premade group for artifact farming, may as well just do 51-60 and hope you get lucky with droprate
assuming you don't wanna do DR instead which is assured drop rate
Guys , I was doing msq and I was riding on midgardsormr because msq put me there and now he's in my mount guide
Do I get to keep him?
yes
How come it wasent an item I had to use
because its given to you automatically by the game
I wanted a dragon mount for ages
I'm so happy
What level msq do u get the phoenix?
Someone said it's around lvl 70 but idk if it's true
That's not from msq
you get the firebird after you acquire all 7 of the heavensward extreme trial birds
whats the drop rate? 20%
https://i.redd.it/lk55r01t39ay.png this right?
It wasn't shiny
Does msq even give another mount after midgarsorm? cant remember >.>
no
the yol bird
oh right
Yes
that's the yol mount
that's not a phoenix lol
It looked slime one the way the person was riding it lol
just remember to grab a screenshot next time and all will be fine
the gundam is pretty good
do msq
What lvl msq is it
65~
think he means the motorcycle
like halfway through sb
Oki
If you’re talking about the motorcycle, it costs money
I was talking about a bird mouny
no idea
wait until you learn of the spiky motorcycle mount
i was kidding
you cant get it anymore
it was from pvp
drops from DR
o
Expensive af
should be only a few mil nowadays
Few mil 
yes
perhaps more depending on your definition of motorcycle
then those are the only 2 i can think of
joey if they don't send the SDS bike ask for a refund and they should give it
That’s the Tunnel armor from FF6
and no response? mine came in like an hour
oohhhhh
yeah that would be much more complicated
doubt they would do that with all the botting issues they've been having
services can be shit sure but thats hardly any fault of theirs. shouldnt take long for a response
wrong account issues have been known to be troublesome
that's not their problem that you didn't confirm things prior
Its not their fault you made this error
Almost as if you are expected to check your own purchases before you pay money
its an account bound mount
there's no character to select because its automatically distributed to all characters, even future ones, on that acct
don't you have to login to make purchases?
The mogstation store makes you go thru like 2-3 different confirmation pages
That's not on SE but regardless
this isn't the place to whine about it
If there a quest that require to go to duty finder in place you used to go but in hard instead
if you finished hard mode
will there another more harder than hard quest again?
Hard mode dungeons aren't really the same dungeon either
yes
They are remixes
oh thank you everyone
some hard trails have EX versions, but not dungeons
XD
Only some ARR trials have 3 difficulties
But ARR has a boat load of inconsistencies
Because the devs were still trying to figure out what works
in patch 5.4, there was a normal, hard, EX, unreal, raid, savage, and ultimate version of titan
Ohhhh :0
And soon Ifrit and Garuda will join that list, maybe
3 of those aren't trials
was is the difference between trails and raids these days, other than loot
but yeah im being coy
The Titan raid in Shadowbringers is not the same one as the ARR one
It is a different Titan for story reason
there's a lot of them, take it at your own pace
Thank you very much >w<
Ignore as many as these
as you like, they don’t do much

Question
If I've done all of my poetics roulettes what's the fastest method to get more
ARF?
WT? and I don't have BLU unlocked so can't do carnival
Wonderous Tails
question about resistance weapon
If i abandon the 15 artifact quest, will i lose the artifacts?
Oh
nope
but you can also just hide the quest
actually, i want to use the artifact for other weapon instead of the current class i use when i take the quest
anyway, thx for info!
got it, yep should work!
Do msq level cap dungeons
ARF is the best since it gets the first time bonus the most often on top of the normal poetics
i am certain this is gonna get a laugh, but i've heard the term "kitchen sink CDs" used a few times in this game/content surrounding this game. I know what a CD is, what exactly does the "kitchen sink" part refer to?
kitchen sink means throw everything in
and pray that u survive
lol, thanks. i saw someone use the term during a proto-ozma guide, referring to soaking orbs
and nice taste with your avatar 
Comes from the phrase. "Throw everything at it."
"Even the kitchen sink?"
"Even the kitchen sink."
do you think theyll announce the date of 5.55 before fanfest?
before, no
i just wanna know how much more time i have left for ranked feast 
considering there's going to be a LL on the 2nd day of fanfest
so they probably wont release 5.55 like 2 days after fanfest
it will most likely be the 25th
yeah it better be
cos that's consistent with the 10/11 day timeline
I have a question, if anyone would be willing to spare an answer
i may have an answer, if you're willing to ask
shoot
So: for context, I make YouTube videos (relatively high quality) for the game, and I wanted to be able to have the option of using chat text bubbles ala World of Warcraft. I am aware quick launcher enables this, but my question is this: Is it likely that I would get a ban if this is the only modification I make to the game, seeing as how it is only clientside text reading, along with reshade/gshade?
(also sorry for the wall of text!)
it depends on how rude you are with it
text bubbles are pretty inoffensive so I think you could get away with it
but we aren't square
¯_(ツ)_/¯
as long as you're civil you'll be totally fine
of course! this wouldnt be to harass or belittle anyone, by any stretch of the imagination! this game is just my life, so i would hate to ruin my acct because of it is all!
its literally only a QoL thing for editing/visuals!
then you should be good to go
just know that any 3rd party program that messes with the game is technically bannable
i know 3rd party stuff is usually actionable, but to my knowledge the instances that are basically insta-bans are lewd mods and parsers/aoe markers/botting tools
yeah but youre still taking a risk
i would just make it look like you edited in the chat bubbles or something
like post process
yeah, i was thinking of putting in a disclaimer of smth like "no mods/third party tools were used in the creation of this video" or something like that
yeah the game cant detect it so
I have a friend who insists that Iron Jaws is actually a dps loss compared to refreshing Bard DoTs individually. Here is their reasoning. Is what he says true?
Another way is using BLU and final sting Extreme Ifrit/Titan/Garuda EX and collect whatever they drop, and camp turn-in. Take you 1-1.5 minute/run, and you can farm mount along the way if you haven't have them (all three also drops Nightmare mount outside of their respective mounts). Also send your retainer for Quick Venture will quickly offset the cost with the gear they bring back.
@slender sphinx i dont have to read it to say no
iron jaws > applying dots manually
even with the funky tics its still better to use iron jaws
@remote lintel Ok but i'd like to convince them otherwise so can you put it into words?
^
iron is applying both dots at once
losing out on a tic to gain a full gcd is better
doing it manually means you're having to use an extra gcd to set them up
vs the 1 with jaws
full gcd attack > dot tic
If I feed my chocobo a color-changing item, will it still work if I immediately pull it out of the stable, or does it need to be in the stable for at least 6 hours afterward?
and that's not counting the Refulgent Arrow proc
it needs to be in the stable
Ah. :(
so instead of having to do 250 manually, you do 100 + chance for 340 for 440 in 2 GCDs
instead of always 250
SE put iron jaws in there for a reason
Does dancer equip primal or fending accessories?
aiming
not fending
because dexterity
then choose whatever because neither of them are for dancer
I'll just take the gil
whichever one has dex
Ok next quest gives aiming coffer
totem in ShB is not trade-able for mount yet?
diamond and emerald aren't on totems yet

On top of what is already said here make sure your friend also knows that manual application of a dot further loses an extra tick of it over just iron jaws and setting both to full duration at once
are rolls from bi-colored gems market-able?
Yes
yes
5.1 MSQ is needed at a later point of bozja, to add on
ARR lvl 50 quests were added after each patch? I have to do 2.1 patch version of lvl 50 msq all the way to 2.55? Or latest version overwrote the earlier version?
you must do the msq from 2.1 to 2.55 to get into HW
used to be more
ARR is technically base game so it is the longest really 
What about for relic weapons
Yeah but do you need to do 5.1 for it
yes
they are directly tied to Bozja
some steps are locked until you hit a certain rank in bozja
What's the difference between Standard Step and Technical Step and do they stack with each other
if you just want the base weapon though it’s easy as shit
but yeah augmenting it is... bozja, so hope you like it
I made a loft in my house, but I can’t put any furniture on the loft. Do I need a mod or something?
Yes they stack and you should ideally be getting a standard step within technical step's window
Technical step gives you and your whole party a buff that increase dmg done for 20s
you can't place ground furniture on lofts normally, you need to use the float glitch unless there's a mod I'm not aware about which lets you place stuff you normally couldn't on lofts
you can only put on tabletop items. To put another, you gotta glitch so that they float, then you put a loft below them
Hi erm newbie here, Quick question, Anyone know how I cld play ffxiv on ps5 in Malaysia? wld methods as same as for ps4 work for ps5? if so what is the method? and which region wld benefit me the most both in population and ping? and is it worth it for a newbie like ne to stary playing now considering the things I might've missed for the ladt few years
Thanks @plain python and @slate arrow ; guess I’ll have to watch some videos lol
careful to not over work yourself. There are a lot of neat designs, but they will require a lot of patience (and resources) to set them up.
What is the estimated drop rate of Byakko’s Mane/weapons on Jade Stoa extreme? Worth farming or just pay the 1million Gil for it? How many tries on average in people’s experiences?
you have the mount yet? If not, go there
collect whatever along the way 😄
Byakko is super simple to farm at current ilvl and even if the mat doesn't drop you can desynth his weapons that do drop for another chance.
If you do Jade Adria extreme unsynced with 520 gear, about how many people do you need?
i can't really say much about getting the ps4/5 version in Malaysia to work, but you'd want to pick the elemental, gaia, or mana servers. And yes, the story is one of the biggest parts of FF14, so start fresh if you can
I think 4 i520 works? Used to be a tag along with a BLU lv70 there
but just fill the group to brim. Faster and less mech
@opal shoal According to gamerescape, desynthing the weapons don’t give you Byakkos Mane. Has it been changed?
Farm parties are still common enough that getting 8 people shouldn't take too long
set your min ilv at 430 to avoid lv70 joining in 😄
thx for the info I'll make use of it
say you wanted to create a temporary static of strangers to just farm diamond weapon and everyone would run until everyone got the mount. Would most people actually stay?
Hmm, perhaps it doesn't. I know the Shinryu material was desynthable when the crafted weapons came out but guess I am not sure on Byakko.
Desynth info is often incomplete on stuff
But it stands to reason if you can get it out of one item you can get the material out of all of them
or Dementia
late answer but "iron jaws syns the procs so if both proc you'll be losing a reset" is incorrect, the procs are always synced, the dots deal damage on an "actor tick" every 3 seconds, whether you apply them with iron jaws or individual GCDs
you register when it is open for entry, and join it via a duty finder pop-up
ah, gotcha
w/ the housing orch. playlist, is there a way to make it so that it plays the music a bit longer, cuz it keeps cutting it when it gets to the good parts and it really triggers me
My orchestrion does the same thing; same question too

Will free company make the game more fun, I'm quiet lonely
am I come to right channel?
Depends on the FC
some of the bigger ones are not that social
but at any rate you'll have a global chat while playing the game, that's something I guess
FCs for me is just another chat room
Get into Savage content and find a static
Considering how easy E9-11S is, it won't be hard to find people to clear that content with

He went and did the math
but also concluded that it's probably just better to use jaws
since this is all in theory with perfect execution
understandable, theorycrafting is fun
How different tank damage/dps is from damage classes in FFXIV? For example, in TERA Online tanks are dealing impressive damage, falling behind damage classes just a little. In other games though, tanks are dealing literally 0 damage, while being unkillable.
tanks are merely DPS with defensive cooldowns and a tank stance in this game
every job is expected to dps
I see, so basically here tanks are dealing good damage too
they're still behind dps but yeah
Yes, but I guess by not a lot behind, like 10-15%
What prevents people to play tanks and queue as dps though?
Still quite a chunk tbh
And tbh most people just fear the "responsibility" of tanking I guess
its like 70% compared to dps iirc
also yeah people just go "big numbers and ez!!!!!!!!"
not realizing that dps comes with their very own set of responsibilities
there's also lots of dps classes to choose from so they like those too, some might find some classes more fun than others
yeh lol
If your dmg is bad then you are making the life of the tank and healer very hard
especially during trash pulls
I've heard dragoon can somehow tank, not sure if trolling
yeah lol
Yes, floor tank. What does it mean
They are tanking the floor
every dps has some sort of mitigation skill but its not tank level of defence lol
aka being dead
Originally Dragoon was intended to be somewhat of an offtank, which is also why they have heavier armour
old meme of dragoon dying to literally everything because of animation lock
So dragoons are essentially melee dps with thicker armor, than other dps
Kinda? Not that it matters
yes but im not sure if it makes a difference tbh
Does it not?
when drg was released, its gear lacked magical resist so raidwides 1shot them, also part of floortank meme
It doesn't
DRG still has their very own set of gear though, no other job uses it. The new melee dps that comes with EW will share gear with DRG though
What's the new class?
we dont know
We don't know
it will be revealed in a few weeks at the fanfest
it will be a maiming class is all we know
I see. Well, I'm in love with polearms, so no way I'm switching to another dps class. From what I've heard, there are no unplayable jobs, so everything works well
Yep
!faq meta
All jobs work at all levels
How often will they be releasing 50million mounts? When is the next set?
Wait there’s more than 1 richie mount atm? Gold mikoshi and?

😮
😮
And the existence of a backflip that's often misused
Honestly, I see RDMs dying to the backflip more often than DRGs 
Lmao
I haven't played RDM enough to throw myself off of something
But that backjump is a ridiculous distance
Don't really want to drag this into discussion but small arenas that would mean you die as RDM really annoy me
because it's 50 potency more than the non backflip alternative
small arenas are a dps loss for RDM 
So I know sage is confirmed but why does everyone think the next dps is reaper style?
- maiming class 2. yoshi wore two different shirts with skeletons w/scythes, speculation
Also there was an NPC in ShB that used a Scythe
it's just speculation though
we don't know for sure
Noxious Scythe in FFXIV? Pog.
Watch it be a class totally different and everyone gonna have the surprise pikachu face
possible but unlikely given patterns lmao

and some of it is confirmed enough

Wait is there a profession for arcanists? Like making cloth armor
There's never one crafting class which pertains to one combat class.
An arcanist might at any given time have a book made by an alchemist, a robe made by a weaver, gloves made by a leatherworker, boots made by an armourer, a headpiece made by a goldsmith, accessories made by a carpenter........
Who in ShB uses a scythe? i’m blanking @@
!!? i remember him punching, kicking and shadow dragon-ing but wutt?
does rdm all revolve around jolt?
im actually confused by it, even though its considered easy
For Hades Ex, fire/ice tethers, as a healer, how do I figure which tether to pick and where to run?
!faq 50rdm
ty ty
Jolt is your basic spell to proc dualcast
If you have a fire/stone proc you use it in place of jolt.
gotcha gotcha
Acceleration is also extremely good in boss fights to put out a lot of burst damage right from the start
Can you wear the Blackbosom Hat without the eyepatch? Raise visor?
if you can’t hardcast verthunder in an opener because no countdown time, cry and jolt into it 
goodbye raid buffs
It has no /visor option unfortunately
the tethers are the same every time, tanks go with their add to the north half while healers go south of the opposite add which they can't attack
Any Eureka experts? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I need to unlock more logos to upgrade my weapon (currently Pyros +2). All sites I've gone to says that 2 x Featherfoot L becomes Swift L when combined. But when I do it, I just get another Featherfoot L because of the duplicate actions.
I only have 2 logos slots atm.
EDIT: I found the answer, I had to put them in the right side array to combine D:
South of the opposite add which they can't attack... hold on, let me process this for a bit D:...
So if I -can- attack the fire add, I grab the ice tether, and run south of the ice add?
Are you trying to do 2 feather foots on one side, or one on both sides?
If I do it one side, it says I can't because it's the same. So both sides. But is it just an RNG chance to combine vs giving me more of the same?
Each side is completely separate in terms of what they make. So the logos on the left side don’t influence the right side, except for success rate when using more than 4 mnemes.
Try the alternate recipe of 2 backstep + featherfoot if you can.
Yeah, will do that. Was just hoping to do some with the least possible actions cos I'm cheap. :3
Perfect, thank you Vis.
the tooltip says veraero is supposed to increase my white mana by 11, but it only increases it by 5?
am i missing something?
is your black mana too high
oh should yu keep them even?
ahhh okay
i was building one at a time
gotcha gotcha, just trying rdm for the first time, ty!
if one of them gets too high the other will have decreased gain
if the gem is white or purple, you'll earn half the usual amount for lower mana as a "punishment"
on the gauge
they have to be within 30 gauge of each other
gotcha gotcha, yeah i was super confused lol
is the passive from SDS Fenrir works inside bozja?
i'd assume no, it makes you move at 1-star ground speed upgrade in the zone, but bozja doesn't have a riding map upgrade afaik?
regarding "tagging" of monsters in ffxiv: if i see some1 struggling to kill a monster in open world, i can help by killing it right?. the other player just needs to do >30%(?) hp to complete his objective etc?
Not even, just gotta do any amount of aggro generation on said mob

When ardbert appears a certain melancholic music plays
Does it have an orchestron scroll
Idk what's it called
are there anything worthwhile with khloe silver scrolls? I got all minions
So what can you get with crysta? That’s what I was trying to ask earlier.
anything you can get with money on mogstation/item store
it's just another payment option, 1 cent is 1 crysta
It's just an alternate, mainly if you want to use stuff like PayPal
There any stuff like mounts? Or do they just make money entirely through subscriptions?
I forget the command.
yeah there's mounts, outfits, minions etc
95% of the stuff is cosmetic, 5% is game affecting like progression skips, but nothing brings you directly to the endgame.
is there an achievement regarding equipping frog suit?
No
But the FATE that gives you the tokens which you need to trade for the frog suit...does reward an achievement.
Hmm
So
Do Bard's prioritize reapplying their DoT(s) or using straight shot proc asap?
DoTs I would assume?
Dots
always maintain dots
Ok I assumed but wasn't sure. This class is wayy more fun than I thought it would be
Started leveling tonight and it's only 31
You get a skill later called Iron Jaws that will refresh both dots for you in one action
But I had a blast in PoTD and kiting things and running ahead pulling the entire floor😂
So it become easier later
Had multiple situations if I was Ninja I would have died
And is already fairly active as a low ass level
Ninja I feel like when I'm scaled down to the equivalent and what my Bard is rn I'm only spamming 2 abilities...
Hi, I have a quick question: I am lvl 31 with a pole master and I would like to become a dragon knight but the NPC (Ywain) no longer gives me a quest after Courage versus Recklessness. Could someone tell me how to get the quest to become a dragon knight please :)?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
probably missing the lvl 20 msq
As a general rule: msq locks everything in this game
prioritize story
But i'm lvl 31 and my story quest is lvl 17 , yet I do only that :/
You are probably on a preferred world
Which comes with an xp boost that is quite strong. So outleveling your msq is not uncommon
Might wanna think about picking up another class to sink that xp into 🙂
where can i find recruiting FCs ?
!faq communityfinder
thank you
anything worth to use white crafter script for? I don't need gear anymore
Gil,chicken, sublime, etc
Doing Hadex Ex, my party has issues with the meteor tethers. As a healer I dont get them so I'm not quite sure how the whole mechanic goes-- where should the DPS be running to avoid cleaving the tanks?
Hey guys, planning to start playing the game and I read the beginning is very slow. Up to which level is this going to be slow paced?
I have it unlocked, why he refuses to give me next quest? Or should I finish Bowl HM first?
does it matter if chicken is HQ?
Also I play both wow and eso, so I'll be compapri g the pace to both tbf.
Just sell nq
@tight widget compare this to single player rpg
Because it is a FF game with MMO elements
OK.. I never played FF before so its kind of a first for me..
You get to the more important story stuff by lvl 25-30
hi, i would like to buy an adventure tale for my dark mage but first i would like to know if by doing so i will get the lvl 50 and 70 job outfits in the purchase?
if not is it possible to get them after purchasing the adventure tale?
thank you in advance.
PS: sorry for my Bad english 😅
Black Mage or Dark Knight?
Most crafter just use nq chicken thighs to save cost. Unless their crafting gear is poorly optimize
I usually play tank for it but I see DPS running right where I’ve just been/way far in front of me or take a risk and make me run through them lmao, I’m afraid I’m not very helpful but maybe some shit on YouTube might help?
@obtuse tendon you will only get the lvl 70 stuff, but you can go and acquire other things in game
OK. I tried a bit yesterday but have not really spent the time to determine if this is something I'd play or not. An hour or so is not enough considering the 100s of hours I sank into the other two.
My answer still holds
Most guides just say "dont aim it at the tank lol", which feels like it shouldn't be too hard. But I don't know what to advice the dps, and it's been wiping us for 50 minutes straight.
Ok thanks
OK cool.
I cannot make any comparison with wow or eso as I am not familiar with those
But the general consensus on XIV pacing is what I relay to you just now
Sucks quite hard. It shouldn’t be that difficult, it sounds like you have some idiots around, but if they know the delay they can either put it far in front or just behind the tanks as they move for meteors
guides are probably saying ‘aim away from tanks’ because it should be that easy
Well, it -is- just a practice party, I'll put up with it. Thank you.
Yeah, it’s fair
I'll do the trial then. Never played a jrpg neither so it's like trying both at one go then :)
Most ex guide also assumes that the players have some a few EX trials
I guess a good policy is just never stop it in front of a meteor that a tank is actively going to stop at
So they expect the players to know the basics, like bait AOE before you move into safe spot, or spread the circle/cone AOE
@tight widget have fun
Is their a tier list for tank duos?
Dont think so
There's dps statistics for all tank duos on fflogs I think
but that's just one part of the equation I guess
Thanks! Also, what's a good server for EU? I am looking to have people around etc so I don't feel alone playing.
I have a question for crafters
This macro was suggested to me
I don't have enough CP
I cannot give precise recommendations on world because I dunno which of them are English speaking etc
BUT, my armor is almost capped on CP
Are you using food and the CP syrup?
But I can tell you that match making are done between World inside the same Data Center
!item Crab Chili
👍
!item Chili Crab
*A whole blue crab braised in its shell in a piquant sauce, which takes on a rich shellfish flavor in the course of cooking.
EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*
21% [57] (26% [72] HQ)
5% [56] (6% [70] HQ)
Assuming you have enough CP to cap the bonus from these two items
You need very little CP to cap out the benefits. The Chili Crab only needs about 280 CP and the Syrup only needs about 270
Oh, wow, that's very generous
hey, sorry if this seems stupid, I am new to the game, only been playing about a week, I am stuck on a quest "The World of Darkness", it says to join in through the duty finder but I can't seem to find a group for it, is there any way around this quest?
nope, you have to complete the duty
Seeing as you're on a JP datacenter based on your role, is your duty finder searching for JP players?
Yeah, but I live in Australia so similar timezones
👌
Then you just need to wait for match making to get you covered
Ummm, if it is worth anything
the issue is that I have had the quest for 2 days now which is really frustrating
Dps might be able to get a slightly faster queue with alliance raid
I am DPS, playing Dragoon, started leveling Conjurer but got up to some quests that I needed to leave the duty finder for
Not much you can really do besides have DF search for all languages and wait
Correct me if I am wrong, daily reset happen on the same moment across the globe right?
how do I know if I am searching for all languages?
Yeah
oh, thank you
Daily reset is in 3 hours
Maybe you will get faster queue then, when everyone is trying to do their daily roulette
didn't realize there was a language thing, it cut down the estimated time to something reasonable, thankyou
Good luck and have fun
I know this place can be reacked with the elbst, but what would happen if I tried to fly there?
where do i get potions i keep getting rekt :/
I didn't notice because I was getting heaps of Japanese speaking people in other duty quests
Average time, not estimated
big help ❤️
You wouldn’t make it
I don't remember where they are, but there are a bunch of boats you can fly to and land on
@prime flume you never grab multiple enemies at the same time
Your gear might be a big problem. It should roughly match your level up until lv50. You should also get a chocobo companion to heal you when you reach lv30. But to answer your question, every major city has a shop district, and a NPC titled Apothecary there.
You cannot chug potion to tank enemy attacks either
ty!
im only fighting this one enemy and its ruining me
im lvl 51 at the moment
Gear level
Do you have ironworks?
Is what matters
i think mine is 58
All your stat comes from your gear
umm where do i check
yeah im at 58
You don't in that case. Go to Mor Dhona and look for Auriana (I think). She'll sell you ilvl130 gear.
Your level 50 job quest gives ilvl 90 left side in a coffer
order is weapon (from the right side girl) > body > pants > hat/glove/boots > accessories
It contains a few item level 90 equipment
i dont think i did my lvl 50 job quest
Or any of the splendor vendors in the 3 main towns
Do your job quest, put on those i90 gear
Then buy some ironwork gears to replace your low item level stuff
To check the item level of your equipment
Hover over them
And look for a slightly flat ITEM LEVEL
ok ill do that thank you all 😄
Yesterday I bought a mount from mog station and today I created a character in Bahamut. I saw the mail icon there and talked to the delivery moogle, saw the mail with teh mount item but didn't take it. My main is in Omega and I wanted the mount there. Did I fuck up? 😒
which mount was it
Cloud's bike
pretty sure thats account wide
That's for all characters
yes but in mog station it said something about being for a single character use only or something?
If it is a single use
Then it would have asked you which character you want to send that mount to
At which upgrade does the skysteel gathering tool become better than Landsaints?
There's no way to buy a single-character mount yesterday, and then send it to a new character you made today
how do i summon my chocobo to fight again
Ok that makes sense, but wouldn't my Omega character be able to access the mail too?
Your characters don't share the same mailbox
They just happened to receive the same mails
Assuming you've done the unlock quest gotta use a gyshal green to summon them
Calisaie, cloud bike is account wide right?
where do i get gyshal green though
can buy it from several vendors. the Black Rabbit trader NPC near the Gridania aetheryte plaza is my go to
for pc, can I change UI for my bag? I see some are different with mine in YT.
character config > item settings > inventory
@shell geyser so any future characters you make in this account , will get the bike
you can "expand" it to show the entire inventory as a giant page
Hmm I see.
Oh! I was confused by this, then:
- This item is limited to one use for a single character.
do retainer stats matter
!faq retainerbp
There
stats besides those don't matter for retainers
like perception for the gatherers, or main stats for combat classes
Dow/m for example only need to reach that item level
