@uneven tendon that's not how it works

Then you are doing it incorrectly

At 72 you can go Despair > Blizzard 3

You keep transpose to get back to ice when the boss goes away

At high level, Transpose is still good for "we cleared the enemies, but I am on Astral Fire"

warped nest
Press transpose to go into Umbral Ice stance, then press Umbral soul to keep up Umbral Ice
strong saddle
And for single target. Do I still keep fire 1?

Though to be fair i could see them making tranpose upgrade to Umbral soul next expansion

warped nest
Study this picture
faint flare
You need it
strong saddle
Aint fire 3 single target?
warped nest
Yeah
faint flare
Its trash if you actually spend mana for it
strong saddle
So why use it in aoe rotation?
faint flare
Aka use it in fire
Fire 3 only job is firestarter procs and using it to swap stances
warped nest
Because you need to go from Umbral Ice into Astral Fire efficiently?
strong saddle
Oh I see
warped nest
In single target case, like what Vinyl said, fire 3 takes too long and too much MP for the damage it does
faint flare
Though at like 6+ mobs you skip the fire 3 starting at 68 cause the extra gcd aint worth delaying double flares
timid topaz
what is the difference between chaos and light serverrs

F2 takes forever to cast so wouldn't it be good to use swiftcast?
warped nest
F2 is AOE btw
strong saddle
But it says on the chart at lvl 60 f2 aint used

It isn't the in between of fire and fire 3 in terms of its combat function

Then again I'm on the free trial

Once you can double flare fire 2 gets yeeted out

Hey, Ninja question:
Does Doton actually does its DoTs properly to most bosses?

Why would it not, as long as enemies are in it then it does its damage

just reached 72 on rdm, whats the point of engagement
faint flare
When displacement would kill you
Primarily
It can be more easily double weaved with stuff but primarily for when you can't use displacement on cooldown
wintry chasm
When displacement would kill you
^ It was annoying back in the day when you do a trial or something where you can fall off and you just accidentally backflip off the edge
glossy flare
Small arena -> dps loss for RDM 
glossy flare
In some instances
most high end content has dead zones at the edges of the arena too
glossy flare
Ultimately the 50 potency loss is not a huge deal though
Still, use displacement whenever you can
cerulean schooner
ya thx
glossy flare
What's F4s actual potency under Astral Fire III? I'm asking because I'm not sure how Enochian interacts with the dmg increase from astral fire
oak ice
It's 180% increase, I believe
glossy flare
that's just Astral Fire
faint flare
1.8x multiplier
oak ice
AF1 is 1,2x, AF2 is 1,4x and AF3 is 1,8x
glossy flare
Yes but F4 can only be used under Enochian
so the 15% dmg increase always applies
Was just curious how those two interact
sleek spoke
whats a direct hit??
glossy flare
think of it as a smaller version of a crit
sleek spoke
hmm ok ty!
manic flare
is it possible to add a certain sound notification whenever a certain linkshell/channel gets a message?
jade quartz
Was just curious how those two interact
buffs and debuffs in this game stack multiplicatively.
glossy flare
So F4s actual potency is 621?
cursive canopy
Yes but it's a shit dot for just one target so you don't use it
ah, so avoid using it outside mobbing then
glossy flare
because AF3 always has to come first
gleaming mist
540
glossy flare
that's just AF3 though, without Enochian
I know it's a dumb question and doesn't really help anyone, I'm just curious

So F4s actual potency is 621?
yes

Normally for this issue a senior GM will contact you via chat if it is considered a bug.
It is possible they will put you in GM jail to chat in private, no worries, the GM's can use the jail too for other things then just punishment. I have seen players sent to jail for a chat about a report they made themselves.

high otter
What does "settlement" mean on the map? It has no NPCs, no inn, it's just few empty buildings
But it still has a marker on the map, so I guess there should be something?
jade quartz
What settlement
warped nest
Which settlement are you looking at?
high otter
This, for example
high otter
I see a vendor, but nobody else
jade quartz
But that location in particular is tied to a special FATE
The inhabitants get kidnapped by Qiqirn and sold to Amal'jaa
There's a FATE where you defend them from getting kidnapped, and a tougher FATE where you have to rescue them
high otter
I just wonder what does "settlement" mean in the game
jade quartz
and that brings back the NPCs
It means a settlement.
NPCs, vendors/menders
I can see to the southeast that the NPC to start the rescue FATE is up
high otter
Alright, another question then: how to edit map marks, if I don't want to see pointless information
jade quartz
You can't.
high otter
Oof
cerulean schooner
https://youtu.be/TvQvYYkFiQI
scary7
jade quartz
There's not really any pointless information.
cerulean schooner
i wonder if my chat log got restricted bc of something i said, tho i dont think i said anything
high otter
"Settlement" doesn't give me any useful info though
cerulean schooner
ive been fate grinding for like 2 hours lmao
jade quartz
The NPCs of that settlement are currently kidnapped and you'd need to do the FATE to restore them.
high otter
Okay, I got it, but what does "settlement" do? If I bring these people back — what useful are they, except for immersion and lore
jade quartz
It's a significant location that is a landmark for many quests
oh and one of them sells a unique minion (though you can buy it cheaply on the MB nowadays)
high otter
I see. So bring people back — bring quests back
high otter
But you said they are giving unique quests
jade quartz
No I didn't.
high otter
It's a significant location that is a landmark for many quests
I guess I misunderstood then
jade quartz
Plenty of quests take you there.
high otter
But quests have their own map marks, why add another one?
faint flare
Cause settlements are mostly safe locations on the map and generally key locations for stuff
high otter
I don't want to be a bore, but literally any location on the map is safe, you just have to stay out of mobs aggro...
I just honestly don't understand what's the purpose of the "Settlement"
jade quartz
It's a significant landmark with buildings and NPCs
high otter
Yes, well, and what else
jade quartz
What else is there to understand?
high otter
If it has a mark — then there should be something of use, no? That's how it works. Why not mark sticks and stones?
jade quartz
The landmark reference is reason enough
plus it's a minor quest hub and has a vendor.
high otter
It's literally the very first game in my experience, where map symbol is there just because, and it's confusing
jade quartz
It's also got a special FATE series tied to it which is an early attempt at overworld content which was pretty interesting in its day.
It's not there just because, there's literally a settlement there and the game's telling you it's a settlement
high otter
I don't think we understand each other. Alright then
jade quartz
Players can easily make reference to it as a map feature, and it has content. 
Nothing mysterious about it.
high otter
So basically all settlements have unique FATE tied to them?
high otter
Ok, so what's the point of the settlement without the FATE? There is nothing else
jade quartz
A settlement is just that, a settlement
a town, a place
Highbridge is just a particularly sparse settlement, but it has all the FATE content stuff instead
Most settlements have at least one vendor and a mender
high otter
I got it from the start. It's a place. But why would I need to know about it, if there is nothing to do?
jade quartz
and are probably hubs for a larger number of quests
Virtually every map in the game has a few settlements on it
jade quartz
Highbridge is just a very small one that has less other stuff, but has the FATE chain tied to it instead
cerulean schooner
never rlly paid much attention to em since important places will have aetherytes
jade quartz
Highbridge is not the first settlement you have encountered.
high otter
usually has like shopkeepers and menders too
so it's small hubs with basic vendors, right
cerulean schooner
i mean ya cant guarantee for every single one but ya
a settlement is what a settlement is
jade quartz
And they are major locations for quests
high otter
Quests have their own zones on the map, no? You literally see where to go, not like you need "settlement" to make sure you're doing everything right. The place with vendors/menders is the only reason I see behind it
jade quartz
It's so that you can actually have some concept of the map and how to navigate it
do you want towns to just not be marked on the map?
cerulean schooner
like keep in mind this is an mmoRPg
jade quartz
come on
jade quartz
"Come see me I'm near Highbridge right now"
high otter
Well, it that case yes. If you have friends to play with 😄

Settlements are also kind of a left over thing from 1.0. They originally were going to be somewhat upgradable, but then 1.0 got axed.
cerulean schooner

high otter

I see. That sounds logical
cerulean schooner
lmao "logical"
jade quartz
The FATE settlements like Highbridge are kind of an attempt at recreating that though tbh
cerulean schooner
we in that deep game dev lore now
high otter
What's funny about it? A lot of stuff from prev patches is rotting behind in many games, not only in FF
heavy wadi
1.0 was an entirely different game, essentially
jade quartz
Cardinal means that it seems strange to call that "logical" and not all the other logical reasons that have been given. But that's all beside the point, as what Aril said isn't actually accurate.
jade quartz
Settlements are not in any way "a 1.0 holdover"
They're just small towns with stuff in them man
any MMO heck any open world game, will have them.
cerulean schooner
this ain't rlly a convo lmao, it's you tryna get us to say the reasons you think they exist
heavy wadi
it feels weird to call anything a 1.0 holdover
jade quartz
Highbridge just is a very sparse one. Many are much more important
hollow violet
Does the Provenance Watcher need a full party or can 3-4 level 60's spawn and down it?

and yeah it's... that simple, it doesn't need to be anything or indicate anything but a town
faint flare
Does the Provenance Watcher need a full party or can 3-4 level 60's spawn and do...
Depends how many fates lately have been done
jade quartz
For example, Hyrstmill in North Shroud is an extremely important place, as you need to know to go there for ARR relics (and formerly for gear upgrades before that process was streamlined)

Literally no other reason is logical, except for a station for basic vendors. Marks on the map must tell, that there is something to do. Marking it just because there are a few buildings is definitely not a logical reason for MMORPG. If you have quests involving this location — such quest will lead you there by its own mark. FATEs also have their own markings on the map
faint flare
Goes for all fates so they aren't pushovers when mass people are in the zone
wintry chasm

Marking major landmarks on a map is logical.
End of story.
faint flare
When one is completed, the next is scaled accordingly to the number of people there
hollow violet
I've been doing it backwards then.. I should start with the higher level one that my/my group can handle and work our way down. I've been starting with the lowest and going up each day
high otter
Marking major landmarks on a map is logical.
Well, I guess any other MMORPG is not logical xd
hollow violet
Thanks for the info!

and mmoRPG

Don't worry at all! I know GM's also use jail if they need more detail about a report or checking bugs that players suffer from.
It is more ment as a private room, so a GM and a player can talk without any problems. Most players are send there for suspensions yes, but it is less known it's true purpose as a private chat room.

Ummm... Hi! I've been hearing a lot of good things about the game, and I have a PS4 so I was thinking about giving it a try
However I have a couple of questions first.

I'm already paying for PSPLUS in order to be able to play online. Do I have to also pay for the game's subscription?
-
If the answer to the previous question is no, is there any beginners guide I can check?

can that player leave after or does he need to stay in?

are 2 free player able to group up together?
It is possible, but you need a subbed player first to create the party, they invite both free trial players pass leader and leave.

They can leave

can that player leave after or does he need to stay in?
They can leave after, yeah
rough flower
ahh okay cool
lament palm
Thank you so much for the information, everyone! o/
rough flower
@lament palm you wanna plarty up later today?
open coral
The downside to that is that early in the game there are a lot of points when you cannot be in a group to progress through the story, so you'd need to disband the party and have someone invite you back every time.
glossy flare
<@!374233973892841474> you wanna plarty up later today?
You're on different data centers
So sadly you can not party up
rough flower
ahh oke

Just going by server roles though
wintry chasm
You're on different data centers
Well Black Mage has Chaos AND Light
wintry chasm
Also not even playing yet so really not on either

Fair point...
lament palm
I... picked those two because they were from Europe. And that's where I'm from. I haven't actually picked anything ingame yet.
wintry chasm
Yeah dw
rough flower
pick light, then we can play together, if you select lich or zodiark you can level up faster
lament palm
Zordiak? What?
wintry chasm
They are just names of servers

Data centres are server clusters which contain many servers.

lament palm
Data centres are server clusters which contain many servers.
I see.

Note that you can freely visit and meet people on other servers within your datacentre.

like this

Ok, does that mean that I can play with Pc Players for instance?

Oh. Ok.

Notable restriction is that any FC you join (guild's basically if you're familiar with other MMO's) are server specific, not datacenter.

It would be really slow though.
jade quartz
Beast tribe dailies and FATEs yeah, but it would really be suffering.
wintry chasm
Seriously HoH is so casual it's basically pointless how bad you are
hollow violet
Has the number of runs you'll need for dungeons and deep dungeons on there
jade quartz
Strongly recommend you just play multiplayer content.

Just do like, MSQ and Alliance raid roulettes every day.
jade quartz
Tanking I would say is absolutely the simplest role to execute.
wintry chasm
Tanking I would say is absolutely the simplest role to execute.
It's the middle one honestly
jade quartz
DPS generally have more complicated rotations and higher skill ceilings.
hollow violet
Up to 70 at least DPS > Heals > Tank (for me personally) as being most complex to simplest
open coral
Fulfilling the role of dps is the easiest, imo.
Mastering rotations is a completely different story.

Unfortunately not.
Though on a related note, I would strongly recommend leveling up a combat retainer to gather all your monster drops for you, as going out and actually grinding mobs is almost never worth it.

@jade quartz :/ alright

Or failing that just buy them off the marketboard.

I have a question in regards to roles vs class/job. I haven't reached max level yet, far from it. So I can't really speak on how it will progress further. But I've now leveled two different tanks and melees to level 60. Monk and Ninja as well as Paladin and Dark Knight.
They seem very similar. As in almost identical in most ways except for their class gauges and what not. Is this the case for all the classes and roles?
If you play 1 of the tanks/melees is there a reason to really play the other 3? Are they really that different? Or will they be very similar to the other jobs within the same role. Also is this the case for healers/casters/ranged or more so melee/tanks?
jade quartz
Monk and ninja are not really similar at all, so I'm rather baffled by what you're saying.
Tanks are a little bit more homogenised, but paladin and dark knight still play significantly differently
And these all offer different kinds of party utility.
neat stratus
At level 60 I'm not seeing that difference. Maybe the kit becomes more job dependent from 60-80 tho. Can't speak for that.
heavy wadi
mnk and nin are vastly different
jade quartz
Even at 60 monk and ninja should be very clearly worlds apart.
DRK and PLD will become much more different by 70 than they are at 60
faint flare
Monk is fast punchy boy, bouncing between its stances and hitting constant positionals
heavy wadi
if you feel as though they're playing the same you're probably not playing them properly

But yeah if you're finding NIN and MNK similar in playstyle then you're definitely doing something very, very wrong.
Even at level 60.
heavy wadi
sounds to me like they're not doing positionals?
zealous flower
or if you think about video games as a whole, they're both ... mmo classes, so you're pressing your hotbar buttons
pretty similar in that way, lol
neat stratus
So I will have an vastly different experience playing each job within a role?
jade quartz
Yes.
open coral
I mean, they're both melee classes, so from a very basic standpoint they're quite similar, I guess? They both utilize alternating combos in their rotations.
neat stratus
Or is some roles covered by playing one job more or less?
jade quartz
No.
Tanks are the most homogenised---DRK and WAR in particular are very similar
but still definitely don't feel anywhere near "identical"

A basic thing you can do if you haven't already is to set the UI scale down. It defaults to 100% or 120% depending on resolution

neat stratus
Cool. I like the versatility in this game alot. And that there's no meta job. "Play whatever you want". It's great. Tho as a newer player it's kinda hard to know what I would like the best.
Is there a community poll or stats in which jobs are the most "fun" to play in each role? I'm guessing a few jobs are way more liked than others. Not everything can be equal. Would be nice to see which direction is better to start at in regards to which jobs are more likely to be more enjoyable.

Yes, go to keybinds > targeting > "Target focus target" and bind it to whatever key you want

jade quartz
Playing jobs at low level often isn't really reflective of how the job actually ends up at high levels.
For that I'd actually recommend something like Larryzaur's "Basically: (class name)" youtube videos
they're jokey videos which give sort of an overview of how a job feels

You need to do the aether currents in the expansion zones
jade quartz
You need to get the aether currents in each zone.
They didn't just tell you you had to do that for nothing
jade quartz
Recommend you do it concurrently with doing MSQ, as they're all pretty close to the main quest path
otherwise it just becomes a chore going back for them later

As an arcanist, I'm only level 18 at the moment, but is it worth putting my dots up?
feels like just spamming ruin for now is more effective
I put them up if i have fester available, but mobs are normally dead in about 10 seconds, so the dots only tick for like 80 potency
glossy flare
Yes, do put your dots up
You are right that mobs are dying too fast but it's good to get into the habit
limber parcel
Well, i played a shadow priest in WoW, so the habit won't be hard to get into 😛
glossy flare
Fair enough 😄
Both your dots are 220 potency if they run their full duration at your level... I think (don't quite remember the low lvls)
compared to only 180 potency of ruin
so they are stronger if they get the full duration

Hey, i've played wow for most of my life and now i decided to start playing ff for the first time and im curious about classes, there is so many of them but is there one that is focused around utility and more support like playstyle? I mean playing around skills that make enemies weaker and allies stronger meanwhile dealing dmg or healing?
wintry chasm
Astro would be the most buffy healer and Dancer would be the most buffy DPS, Bard is another DPS with a decent amount of utility
glossy flare
Dancer has a pretty "supporty" feal
For healers I would suggest Astrologian, yeah
Neither of which you can start at lvl 1
So that leaves Bard as Calisae said ^
Bard cycles through multiple different songs that each buff certain aspects of your party members
You don't even get to benefit from it, just others
leaden ginkgo
I love it tbh
faint flare
There's not alot of enemy debuffs outside of dots and the role skill mitigation stuff (and ninjas trick attack and scholars crit buff)...primarily just buffs for group as stated
glossy flare
That's a good point, there's only really 2 jobs that come without any kind of party utility (Black Mage and Samurai)
All the others have some way of buffing the entire group
leaden ginkgo
I've heard from friend of mine that buffs like trick attack or even one of dragoon skills are most welcome in raids and stuff but i dont feel like playing strict dps class tho

I've heard that balance in ff is great
robust crow
but in the end it's a quantifiable amount of DPS
leaden ginkgo
Just felt insecure after playing wow for many years
faint flare
It is, see the meta thing
open coral
From a meta standpoint this game is very different from WoW.
glossy flare
For your first class I'd really suggest something you may enjoy aesthetically
gritty oracle
Also, for "spells aspected to other elements were not used", can I freely use abilities like Eruption or Phantom Flurry?
robust crow
assuming top end players
this accounts for everything the class provides to a raid
so ninja even with trick attack ends up less DPS than BLM/SAM
"but why are mch brd dnc so low"
glossy flare
not that this makes NIN bad mind you
robust crow
because they pay the physical ranged DPS tax
of having absolutely no movement restrictions at all
so they get to deal less damage as a result
open coral
Also NIN's TA debuff benefits everyone in the party.
robust crow
bottom line
in any raid composition
if you don't think you will beat the DPS check
either you're bad, the people you're with are bad, or there's too many deaths
nothing to do with your class choice
glossy flare
check the pins btw
open coral
Bottom line is that XIV's meta is in direct opposition to WoW. Where WoW is "bring the class, not the player", XIV is "bring the player, not the class".

there are minor optimizations you can do for team comp if you want speed kills or whatever

Those preferred servers are just locked due to too many people logged on at once, you can just keep trying or try at a less busy time

Preferred servers just give you an xp buff. You don't have to start on a preferred server.

This is a JRPG first and an MMO second. You'll be spending a lot of time playing the story rather than queueing for raids.

Hello! I have a question about how the game works with Steam. I share my Steam account with family, and I'd like to know if anyone knows whether playing the game locks other accounts from playing games in my library or not. I'm still playing the trial, and I only started today, so if I have to start playing with the non-Steam version instead, I'd rather do it now that I'm still at the beginning 🙂
slate arrow
I assume it locks others out of your games whenever you're online? I'm not clear on steam family sharing.

Worked, thank you @heavy wadi @slate arrow
iirc Rick it does lock you out
I have yet to try playing a game shared w/ my family while someone else is online, but whenever someone else logs off of their Steam game, I get a popup saying "You can now play [user]'s games"

Sounds about right.

Yeah, that's what usually happens, but I was hoping that maybe for a MMORPG such as this it wouldn't work that way. For some reason, I'm not sure about my reasoning either

they're all pretty safe for newbies
jobs dont get complicated until 60+ or sometimes 70+

the job attire looks a bit silly

considering I picked Au Ra as a race
but I have no idea how varied the armor / clothing can be later on
heady carbon
but what I see in the preview there just clashes a bit with the Au Ra aesthetics if you know what I mean

with glamour you can put anything the class can wear on anything
tacit jungle
the job gear is just one set out of literally over a hundred you could use
heady carbon
ok, nice
tacit jungle
there's tons and tons of "aiming" gear. practically every single dungeon and raid tier has itsn own set
which works for all ranged classes
and huuunnnnndreds of "casual" or "costume" stuff that works for any job
and you can use the glamour system to apply it to whatever you;re wearing

also crafted sets, sets for achievements and whatnot

The fuck's going on in your roulettes 😄

have you never seen a black hair fem miqo dark knight with the adventurers sweater on

Your roulettes have horrible sense of style

This is all gear an archer (Later becomes a bard) can wear too

No

new game + only comes in later?

can you use Warrior cone AoE Overpower without selecting a target?
random girder
new game + is just replaying story, no material benefits from it
tacit jungle
yeah. it's just to go back and re-play the main story
random girder
can you use Warrior cone AoE Overpower without selecting a target?
sadly no, this is why cone aoes are my mortal enemy
delicate field
yeah it's giving me carpal tunnel 😦

It has a pretty forgiving angle (as in how wide it is) and range though

Wish u could ngl

So most of the time you are fine just looking in the general direction of things

And targetting the centre mob
delicate field
it's more for when you're trying to do a wall to wall pull, it's way easier with an AoE around you
strong saddle
Carpael tunnel on controller stinks
Idk how thats even possible
What exactly is a Parse anyway?

for w2w pulls I have found that it's best to manually click the center mob of the group you are running towards before you use the cone
works only on PC of course
controller people scare me
tacit jungle
@heady carbon to give you an example of how insanely robust the glamour system is...... https://www.reddit.com/r/FFXIVGlamours/

parsing primarily helps in trying to reach DPS checks, like e12s P1's 120k dps check
