[fringe bone]

see again

i only get this

[faint flare]

There's two different leap courses vs the other gates

[fringe bone]

yeah

and i keep getting leap of faith

[faint flare]

And again, it's random... It picks between 3 every 20mins

There's a schedule somewhere

[fringe bone]

so we have 2x leap of faith and that 1 shotting one?

[faint flare]

And the yojimbo one

[fringe bone]

thats 4

[faint flare]

https://latetothepartyfinder.com/ffxiv-gold-saucer-gate-guide/

[little swift]

every 20 minutes it picks from the pool of gates thats allowed to appear during that time slot

[manic flare]

do HW S ranks not reward allied seals?

[faint flare]

Centurio seals

[manic flare]

so just ARR S ranks reward allied+centurio seals then?

[inland zenith]

In order to present yourself for the fashion report, do you have to wear the actual piece of gear, or is it enough to have it as glamour on other piece?

[glossy flare]

glamour is enough

[inland zenith]

Thanks!

[quartz spire]

Just made level 5 last night

[little swift]

make sure you have pieces equipped in every slot as well, even if they aren't what is required

equipment slots give a base point amount even if they aren't the correct items

[storm holly]

How do I check time played?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is Eden eternity normal unlocked for farming ?

[faint flare]

Yes, except the blades

[leaden ginkgo]

Why would anyone farm it if not for the blades

FFS

[slate wave]

Is there a way i can make a macro swap a skill on my hotbar to a different skill while in combat?

[manic rune]

glamour

[glossy flare]

only need 4 blades now though

[faint flare]

Gear if they haven't brought exarchic

[manic rune]

510 gear is still viable gear

[little swift]

if you really need the tomestone, e10s is still probably faster

[fresh lodge]

You still need the 1k tomes either way

[manic flare]

what does the 100% in blue mean?

[lapis lagoon]

For squadrons, the actual difference in stats doesn't matter right? Only if its green or red (greater or lesses)?

[leaden ginkgo]

I thought this is just for lvling party but I saw lvl 80 people. I wonder why are they here?

[faint flare]

Points, achievements

[heavy wadi]

ocean fishing is not just for levelling

has achievements, titles, a mount, also it's just a fun side activity

[faint flare]

You know, the get like 1 million point achievement

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

[heavy wadi]

nah most big brained ocean fishers go for the 3mil point achievement

[faint flare]

I haven't even seen them so

[heady carbon]

what's up with all these random names I'm seeing?

[faint flare]

Bots

[heady carbon]

really?

what for?

[faint flare]

Gil to sell for real money

Like typical gold sellers

In any mmo

[heavy wadi]

unfortunately extremely common

[heady carbon]

but how do they sell gil if they are on free trial accounts?

[faint flare]

They're not trials

That's the fun part

They use the stolen credit cards they get through people stupid enough to buy gold to buy and make new accounts

Or hack others

[fading aurora]

@faint flare I've seen a ton of them using the /say chat lol

[faint flare]

And you also see a lot spamming shout as well

[fading aurora]

How much does it normally cost to penta meld a full 510 set of gear?

[faint flare]

There's no reason to pentameld exarchic now

Giant waste of money

[fading aurora]

So what do I do once I get 510 gear

Do I farm for 530 without upgrading it?

[faint flare]

Do the new nier raid and cap revelation tomes for 520

You can do savage without pentameld exarchic

[bold wraith]

So i have a question, I'm very new to the game. Does anyone have a link to something that shows me what each class can unlock and stuff?

[faint flare]

Each class can unlock everything

Well combats unlock combat stuff, crafters and gathering unlock their stuff

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[bold wraith]

so a pugilist can unlock ninja and etc etc?

[crystal bluff]

yes

[faint flare]

Y3s

[bold wraith]

oh neat.

[crystal bluff]

you can swap between any class freely

[faint flare]

You can be everything

On 1 character

[bold wraith]

I always thought you had to unlock like, samurai

[faint flare]

You can

There's no job requirements

[crystal bluff]

the only requirement for samurai is owning stormblood and having a level 50 combat class

[faint flare]

Just be 50 and own the expansions

[bold wraith]

oh yeah i dont have a level 50, i do own all the exapnsions though lol

I remembr way back you had to level X class to X level and maybe a subclass to X level to unlock a certain class.

[faint flare]

Thats long gone

[bold wraith]

Thank God, that was dogshit

[faint flare]

Removed in stormblood

Plus didn't apply to expansion jobs anyway

[random girder]

the only weird arr class system thats still there is the class-job switch, but they cant really remove that unless they automatically change your class to a job at 30 and remove job stones, because class quests and lore exists

[wild hedge]

What's the best way to catalog fish from a fishing area?

[manic flare]

how does one "spawn" an S rank?

[wintry chasm]

really depends on the S-rank

[manic flare]

referring to this:

I thought it was r andom

[twilit arch]

S ranks have their own conditions in addition to their timers

like discard 100 items while in that zone

[wintry chasm]

^ one in the tempest requires one mob to eat a lot of another for example etc

[manic flare]

do you get any rewards for spawning an S rank?

[jolly fractal]

could someone show me a video were i can learn to play samurai, started samurai 10min ago x)

[manic flare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWqpRCDDEpY&t=645s

[jolly fractal]

thank you very much ❤️

[twilit arch]

for ShB S ranks

[manic flare]

that's just for killing it though no?

[twilit arch]

killing it is your reward for spawning it, snack

[onyx anchor]

do HQ items ever stop being HQ?

[crystal bluff]

no

[onyx anchor]

cool, ty

[open coral]

You can, however, lower the quality of HQ crafting materials

[plain python]

https://i.imgur.com/rfJrUJ4.jpg is this hairstyle default or have to learn? where can I get it?

[twilit arch]

Modern Aesthetics - Gyr Abanian Plait is the name of it

[desert dove]

what channel do i ask in if i want someone to help me do heavensward fates for the resistance weapons

[stray carbon]

whats a dps class that has a lot of variety in what it brings like a ninja does

[leaden ginkgo]

do all the jobs have job quests that give the blue ilvl50 gear? i only know of the dragoon armor, and im currently doing WHM job quests

[desert dove]

red mage can revive and has embolden

[stray carbon]

hmm

[plain python]

dancer can buff

[desert dove]

yeah

[stray carbon]

alr ill look into dancer ig

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[manic flare]

the hair drops from Heaven on High

is this a midlander or highlander?

[twilit arch]

all of the realm reborn jobs do. the heavensward jobs get a generic crafted set from their lvl 50 job quests, and rdm/sam have their own starting set that's il110

its a midlander

[leaden ginkgo]

as new player i have no benefits from shadowbringer addon right ?

[manic flare]

it increases level cap to 80

[remote lintel]

you can play the shb races

[manic flare]

and u nlocks races, jobs

[twilit arch]

gives you access to viera and hrothgar races, and the dancer/gunbreaker jobs at 60

[manic flare]

which u can get without being in shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

i see. i'm just trying to figure out if WHM job quests give the complete set, as the wiki only shows the lvl45 quest giving 4 pieces

[twilit arch]

that's how it works with all of the ARR jobs

[manic flare]

if you dont own Shb, can you still buy ShB gear off MB?

[faint flare]

The chest is at 50

Like always

[twilit arch]

the lvl 45 job quests gives you 4 pieces, the lvl 50 one gives the chest

[leaden ginkgo]

oh im guessing the level50 quest gives chest

[faint flare]

Alongside the i90 gear

It's the same how dragoon gave you the gear for arr jobs

[manic flare]

why do all the hunt trains start in ShB zones

[faint flare]

Because lv80 tomes

[modest igloo]

And nuts give gear upgrades

[twilit arch]

most people are at end-game so their focus is going to be the end-game related stuff

[little swift]

Not all trains

Centurio trains are still run for the sb a ranks sometimes

[twilit arch]

yeah but if both shb and sb A ranks are up and ready for a train

the ShB train runs first

cos its the priority for most people

[little swift]

Less frequent since players can do them with smaller groups now

And just snipe them instead of reporting

[candid ruin]

if i want to move game to ssd

can i just drag files?

or reinstall

[manic flare]

you would also have to change the filepath for how the launcher looks for the executable in your computer

it's probably in some .ini or .cfg file

probably safer to reinstall the game

[candid ruin]

okay

thanks

[heavy wadi]

literally not true

you can just drag the game over and launch it from the other folder

@candid ruin you can just drag and drop

[candid ruin]

ohh okay ;D

[heavy wadi]

np :p I did it when they made ssds faster, if it throws you an error go the boot folder and run ffxivboot64.exe and just make a shortcut to that, it should launch the launcher

it just took a little while to xfer because it was so big

[random girder]

drops from heaven on high but you can also get it on market board (I THINK, DONT TRUST ME ON THIS)

[heavy wadi]

you can

it's pricey though

[random girder]

i got it for like 120k

[heavy wadi]

on crystal when I was given it it was like 1.2mil

[vital ruin]

It's like 2.2 mil in my servers
I've done HoH countless times never seen it
Which floor does it drop from
Or does floor not matter

[leaden ginkgo]

you get 5 memories per castrum clear ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[forest lark]

Should I queue duty roulette dungeons as dps to lvl up or the highest lvl dungeon at lvl 56?

[twilit arch]

its from silver halo sacks which if you're running HoH for leveling should be getting those

[leaden ginkgo]

can i over cap ? or only hold 15 at once

[plain python]

silver pounch

[faint flare]

Roulettes are once daily

[vital ruin]

Ah then my rng is just shit. Nice

[heavy wadi]

you can get as many as you want as long as that quest is active

[leaden ginkgo]

ok i’ll be in bozja allll day

[heavy wadi]

but once you turn it in you can't get them unless another relic is on that step

[faint flare]

Daily roulettes then highest level dungeon, spamming roulettes are bad after daily runs

[frozen wind]

If im aiming to gear up, what content or things should I do to get the highest itl?

[forest lark]

Ia ninjsa gear from class quest bad idea at lvl 56 or there should be better mb one/crafted

[frozen wind]

Currenlty im wearing all 510 exarch purchased gear on my summoner main

[forest lark]

I cant reach ilvl for hw dungeons with set from quest

[frozen wind]

and is there any gear i should upgrade or is my gear im wearing upgradeable by my tomes?

[faint flare]

The i90 gear? That's fucking GARBAGE at 51

[faint flare]

You should have ironworks at least

[frozen wind]

my current tomestones

[forest lark]

I see, I noticed that mt crafted dagger is 115 at lvl 50 while class gear at lvl 50 is obly 90

[faint flare]

Ironworks is i130

[frozen wind]

ironworks?

But isnt that 130 gear level

[faint flare]

At lv50

[heavy wadi]

augment your exarchic to get it to 520

[frozen wind]

how do i augment exarch?

[heavy wadi]

there's a vendor in eulmore

[faint flare]

[frozen wind]

npc name?

[heavy wadi]

check the pins

[faint flare]

In the pins

[vital ruin]

Okay so my i510 red mage with full exarchic set has 3173 crit but 2164 dh
But my Summoner with the same set has 2789 crit and 2548 dh
Why's the stat different
I'm wearing the same gear

[frozen wind]

thanks!

[vital ruin]

Does the job stone offer different stats

[faint flare]

Weapons

[heavy wadi]

you're not wearing the same gear, it's the weapons

[vital ruin]

Ohh

[faint flare]

Your weapons have different substats

[vital ruin]

I c I c

[glass cipher]

how do I change the location where ff14 installs in?

Or does it install wherever I installed the launcher via Steam?

[bold wraith]

no you can choose where to install the game on steam

create a steam library folder on your second drive(where you want it)

right click FFXIV

Properties

move to D:\ drive

or w/e

[glass cipher]

ah, so it installs wherever I installed the launcher?

[bold wraith]

the ffxiv launcher?

yes

[glass cipher]

alright, thanks.

What’s the green stuff in my exp bar?

[wintry chasm]

I assume you mean rested exp but I would say that's more blue tbh

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[severe token]

Oh cool

[stone stone]

I'm doing my lvl 53 job quest for carpenter and I cannot get the quality up enough to make a HQ version required for the quest. My gear mostly lvl 51-47 ish if you include jewelery. I always run out of CP before I can get the quality anywhere near enough and then none left to finish crafting it. Am I suppose to use HQ materials to offset this?

[wintry chasm]

You certainly can and you certainly would with gear like that

[crystal bluff]

it would certainly help

[wintry chasm]

You really want to get rid of all your sub 50 gear

ASAP

The stat difference between a piece of gear lower than level 50 and above 50 is massive because there is that big gap of 50 where there was a lot of endgame progression

If that makes sense

[stone stone]

Where do I get higher level crafting gear? I check Kugene (or however that place is spelled), but those are level 60 stuff

[wintry chasm]

Ishgard

[heavy wadi]

^

[wintry chasm]

Or, better yet, craft it yourself

so you can craft it HQ

[stone stone]

Jewelery only goes up to 47 for I think rings?

[heavy wadi]

alternatively you can just outlevel the quest and do it later

[wintry chasm]

No

Holy Cedar is the first HW rings

level 52

[stone stone]

for carpenter?

[wintry chasm]

for crafting in general but yes carp makes them

Really easy recipe too because half of it is just varnish which is easy to make HQ so you can get the quality bar pretty igh before starting

[stone stone]

I meant buying, but you make those ones?

[wintry chasm]

You can do either I assume. I'm sure a vendor sells it in the market

but really would just craft it

vendors don't sell HQ items ever

[stone stone]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seghuie This is the vendor in ishgard

[wintry chasm]

fair ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Not really important though, buying it from the vendor would suck anyway

[manic flare]

:ping:

why did i receive a warning?

[stone stone]

Why would it suck? So do i need to buy from the mark and will that gear help enough or do I need HQ material still?

[wintry chasm]

no no no no no

Don't bother buying it

You can make it for way cheaper

and it'll be high quality

[little swift]

thats not a question for this channel, open a #discord-modmail if you have issues with it

[wintry chasm]

which means more stats

[stone stone]

with just carpenter?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

It's a carpenter recipe Code

All you'd need to is buy some lumber from Idyllshire for like 2.5k, can probably make the varnish yourself since it's a lower level alchemist recipe, make the varnish HQ and then the ring is really really easy to make HQ

Would be much cheaper than buying off the marketboard for the same quality

[stone stone]

What does HQ do to an item state wise?

[wintry chasm]

Gives way more stats

uhhh

let me find an example

Stats on the left are normal quality, stats on the right are high quality

When you have an entire set HQ those extra stats make up for a lot

Really should try to rock all HQ at all times tbh if I was you

[little swift]

can see the difference here in brackets

[manic flare]

I mean it's great that you found a workaround to make the game work, but regardless it's generally not a good practice to move around game files after installation. Because the installation process does more than just put files in the specific places. It also changes the computer registry, among other things. That's why it's just safer to reinstall

[little swift]

the stats given by a normal quality item are not on par with its written ilvl

snack please stop arguing

the topic has been handled

[wintry chasm]

Buying NQ 51/52 gear when starting HW is fairly logical because while it isn't great it's still an improvement on pre HW gear for the most part but from there you should be working on making HQ gear and then other stuff

[manic flare]

I just wanted to say what I said wasn't misinformation

[heavy wadi]

it was. the topic is ended.

[stone stone]

In order to craft gear though Id need to level up a weaver job

Which I current don't have

[remote lintel]

depends what the gear is

[manic flare]

so let it end. you continually saying it's minformation without proof is just add more fuel to the fire

[heavy wadi]

it's generally good to level all crafters together anyways

since they all work off each other

[stone stone]

Carpenter crafting gear

[remote lintel]

again, depends what the gear is

[heavy wadi]

I think it's the ironworks apron above?

[twilit arch]

that was just an example

[stone stone]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/c0cb94a1b0e/

[remote lintel]

just buy it

[stone stone]

Crafting apron doesn't show what you need to make that? is that even craftable?

[remote lintel]

i thought crafting apron is bought with poetics

[heavy wadi]

you need a crafting book for it

no it's not

[heavy wadi]

it's one of the arr books, I can't remember which

[twilit arch]

ironworks crafted gear is not poetics

its also not ARR book eitehr

its master IV, its heavensward gear

[little swift]

basically its sps to tier/piety to comfort > crit > dhit=det

[vital ruin]

I'm confused

[little swift]

if your gear gives you enough piety you can just skip it

[vital ruin]

How much is enough piety

[little swift]

whatever is comfortable for you

[vital ruin]

Like an assumption?

[little swift]

scholar has plenty of mp management tools that you won't need a lot of piety if you use them correctly

[vital ruin]

The mp management tools are meh at best

[little swift]

thats untrue

[frozen wind]

dont worry guys!

We have a godlike buff remember 100 mp succor! 👀

[little swift]

no silly

[heavy wadi]

sch has some of the better mp management tbh

[frozen wind]

I rarely find myself running out of mana

[heavy wadi]

even if you drop down super low you can recover fast

[vital ruin]

Wtf

How

[remote lintel]

you have like a million ogcds

[frozen wind]

If you want to learn how to properly play scholar, heres a prime photo example that will serve you well

[heavy wadi]

energy drain and dissipation

if you're struggling for mp on sch you're not playing it right

[oak ice]

Energy Drain and Lucid Dreaming are really all you need

[remote lintel]

what au ra said

[little swift]

scholar has 1k mp per minute from aetherflow, lucid for 7ticks of mp every minute, and 3 energy drains regularly and 3 more from dissipation every 2 minutes assuming you're not using aetherflow to heal

[remote lintel]

i play ast on like ~700 piety and i dont have mp issues

[vital ruin]

Oh I never used dissipation

[little swift]

again stop shitposting in this channel

[frozen wind]

Gotcha

[vital ruin]

Art for war do be like that ngl

[frozen wind]

but either way, you wont really run out of mana easily

I have like zero piety on mine

[vital ruin]

I'll use dissipation then

[heavy wadi]

dissipation is a useful skill you should definitely use as much as possible

but at the same time, don't use it if you can't afford to lose your fairy for a while

[remote lintel]

only way you run out of mp is if you keep spamming gcds and not using your mp regen skills

[frozen wind]

Keep lucid on cd

But there are times when you break this rule

[heavy wadi]

pop lucid when you drop below 8k mana on cd

[vital ruin]

I c

[frozen wind]

And try not to spam physick too much

actually wait what level are you

[heavy wadi]

80

[vital ruin]

Also what's a good comfortable piety number
Like an assumption

[silk dragon]

Is the automatic recommended gear swapping good?

[heavy wadi]

yeah

[remote lintel]

again it depends on how comfortable you are

[vital ruin]

Not always

[frozen wind]

There are the stats for my scholar, im going crit

[remote lintel]

i can run all healers on like 700 piety

[heavy wadi]

unless you're max level and going for BiS the recommended gear is useful

[vital ruin]

I'm looking at blue mage

[frozen wind]

my piety is at around 2k but thats from my gear

I have zero piety materia

[vital ruin]

I c

[silk dragon]

what if im relatively new to the game (lv23 or smth) and have no ideas what to use

[heavy wadi]

use it

[remote lintel]

whats your class

[vital ruin]

Yeah then use it

[frozen wind]

crit and determantion is very good

crit more so

[silk dragon]

okay

[vital ruin]

BiS is kinda late game ish

[remote lintel]

@silk dragon what class are you

[silk dragon]

Conjurer

[remote lintel]

then pick the gear with mind on it

[frozen wind]

Dont forget to use recitation as often as you can though

[silk dragon]

ok

[frozen wind]

usually for aoe healing

[oak ice]

Prioritise item level

Then mind

[remote lintel]

no

[frozen wind]

most of the time scholar can easily mitigate heavy st damage with lustrate

[remote lintel]

mind is usually better than ilvl

[oak ice]

Well, I mean, if 2 pieces have the same item level but different stats

[frozen wind]

on AoE pats make sure you dont waste aetherflow on energy drain unless your tank is practically unkillable

[heavy wadi]

recitation adlo + deployment is a godsend

[frozen wind]

or if the adds are just gonan die fast

[remote lintel]

more main stat > ilvl

[frozen wind]

and you want to spend your aetherflow when your next aetherflow is coming up

[vital ruin]

What are the blue gears on that scholar
Eden or crypt

@frozen wind

[frozen wind]

Also slide casting is also important

Eden and exarch

Im wearing the 510 and 450-490 gear set

[crimson shard]

I'm new to the game as of today, is the mentor program worth looking into? I've just asked all my questions in shout chat and usually get answers from helpful people

[vital ruin]

Ah I c

[remote lintel]

just ask questions here

[heavy wadi]

I have 2.4k piety and I don't have issues

[vital ruin]

I haven't gotten the exarchic gear for scholar yet...

[frozen wind]

you can honestly just not even go piety at all outside of what your gear gives you

[crimson shard]

I like the idea of the faster xp I apparently get with a mentor. Lol

[frozen wind]

piety isnt all that important imo

[remote lintel]

the exp boost is almost nothing

[vital ruin]

I c

[crimson shard]

Ah. Gotchya

[oak ice]

2.4k piety is, like, a lot of piety

[crimson shard]

Guess I'll just ask questions here then instead, thanks

[frozen wind]

Crit materia gang for life

Crit is your best friend, and if you cant get crit, detemination, if not that DH

[vital ruin]

Even on tank?

[remote lintel]

yes

[vital ruin]

I've skill speed on all piece

[frozen wind]

Yes on my paladin i go mostly crit

[remote lintel]

but its usually crit > dh > det because dh adds more dmg

except on war

[vital ruin]

What happened to sks

[frozen wind]

sks?

[remote lintel]

sks depends on the class

[vital ruin]

Is that only for drk

[remote lintel]

no

[oak ice]

Some jobs have breakpoints that they need for things

[remote lintel]

pretty sure each tank wants to hit a certain sks

[frozen wind]

are you talking about skill speeds?

[oak ice]

But you generally don't want to put more than just enough to get there

[crimson shard]

Does an archer have any need for any of the other primary stats besides dex?

[vital ruin]

Ya

[remote lintel]

yes

@crimson shard no

[frozen wind]

you need some but not generally alot

[vital ruin]

My DRK has 1516 skill

Is that okay?

[crimson shard]

Didn't think so

[frozen wind]

thats a nic eamount

[oak ice]

As long as you're at ~2.38 gcd

[frozen wind]

my paladin only has 906 lol

[vital ruin]

How do I know if it's at 2.38 gcd

[oak ice]

Mouse over an ability

It will say recast time

[frozen wind]

you mouse over an ab-

ah never mind

[vital ruin]

I'm at 2.39

[frozen wind]

platt already said so

[oak ice]

Good enough

[vital ruin]

o

[heavy wadi]

I know I need to meld more sps

[vital ruin]

That's after melding all skill speed materia tho

[oak ice]

It's doable at 2.42, I think, it's just a bit more comfy to hit 5 GCDs in blood weapon

[frozen wind]

that aside

[vital ruin]

But I only melded like VII materias not VIII

[frozen wind]

im thinking of starting to finally upgrade my exarch gear

should I upgrade my weapon

or accessories first

[oak ice]

Weapon>chest/pants>hat/gloves/boots>everything else if you need stats

[modest igloo]

weapon always

[oak ice]

Orherwise lowest ilvl if you need a boost to ilvls

[frozen wind]

even when we get a resistance weapon?

I havent started or figured out how to start the resistance weapon

[modest igloo]

if you havent started absolutly upgrade to 520

[oak ice]

Do the ivalice raids and then start it in Kugane

[frozen wind]

what is the ivalice raids agian

i may have skipped that blue quest

[oak ice]

SB alliance raids

[modest igloo]

you're at least like 40 hours away from getting the 515 relic

[vital ruin]

I'm going to start my first lv 80 msq

Is that a new command?

[little swift]

thank eanae and whale for this yes

[open coral]

Nice

[little swift]

use carefully as the end of x.0 text boxes are fucking huge

[twilit arch]

just dont link the ultimate weapon because its the biggest box

[open coral]

Noted

[quartz spire]

so, how many Anoles do I need to kill to get an egg to drop?

[modest igloo]

rng

[wintry chasm]

not a lot though at all

it's pretty common

[open coral]

Unless you’re talking about the quest to kill anoles and collect eggs, in which case the answer is zero. The eggs are interactible items.

[quartz spire]

oh

[mint beacon]

Hey guys, does anyone have any tip where I could look for people to run FATE's or other leveling up content with? (Leveling Bard 78-80)

[modest igloo]

most people use bozja to level for those levels

or just roulettes

[mint beacon]

havent gotten that far into the story yet, a bit timegated cus I play the story with my GF but we work late and cant always sync up hah

5.1 atm

[modest igloo]

once you finish 5.1 and do the SB alliance raids you can do bozja

[fallen niche]

Is there a way to separate FFXIV from steam if you bought it on steam without buying an entirely new copy?

[remote lintel]

no

[fallen niche]

darn

[quartz spire]

where can I find the eggs tho?

[tribal apex]

Is there anything like heirloom items that gives bonus xp for leveling alt jobs?

[mint beacon]

Oh really, must be pretty close then. But theres no waterhole for ppl who look for others to play some with? like a lfg for ingame stuff like fates

[modest igloo]

party finder is what that is for

[open coral]

They’re around the same place where the anoles are. Look for sparkling objects in the nests on the ground

[raven star]

How do I check how many command missions I have been on?

[modest igloo]

there's the brand-new ring from completing the hall of the novice, as well as bozjan earrings for BSF, but that's it

[tribal apex]

Oh

How long is the hall of novice

[vernal urchin]

easiest way is the check your achievement progress, i think

[raven star]

Where is the achievement? sorry been looking for a while

[vernal urchin]

under the Grand Company tab

[open coral]

You get a passive buff to xp gains for all jobs under the level of your highest level job - +100% until 70, and +50% for 70-80

[vernal urchin]

"Dear Leader" i think is the right one

[modest igloo]

30-40 mins

[vital ruin]

Does the weathered sets go into the armoire

[tribal apex]

I only have arr and hw

[vital ruin]

Lv 80 sets

[tribal apex]

Oh that’s not that bad

I can knock that out quickly

[open coral]

No

[vital ruin]

If I discard can I get it via salvager

[modest igloo]

well from grenolt

[vital ruin]

Ooo nice

Oh

[raven star]

How do I get the emotes from Squads?

[vital ruin]

So I've to come all the way to tempest to buy them back?

[modest igloo]

yep

[vital ruin]

[raven star]

sorry trying to figure this stuff out ><

[modest igloo]

its not far from the aytherite

[vital ruin]

Aetherite?

[modest igloo]

ye

[vernal urchin]

do 10 command missions

you'll be given the emotes after completing the 10th one

[tribal apex]

also if I wanted to Dump all my mats into my chocobo bag Can I still use it for crafting or do I need to put it back into my bags?

[vital ruin]

That dood relocates next to an aetherite?

[raven star]

Thank you!!

[modest igloo]

no

[vital ruin]

There's no aetherite in his forge

[modest igloo]

yeah, he's still a small ways from the main one

but when you can fly it's pretty fast

[vital ruin]

I c

U need the feathered set to craft the idealist right?

[vernal urchin]

you would need to pull them out of the chocobo saddlebag to craft with them

[empty goblet]

Hello. So Kaiyoko posted the new Fashion Report and my question regarding it is can I use any of the pieces on the list? Also can I use a dye other than Jet Black as I can't use the Market. Thanks in advance.

[little swift]

!fr

[zinc orbit]

Fashion Report for the week of 4/20-4/26

Resets in 3 days, 12 hours, 50 minutes, 40 seconds

[little swift]

The guidelines are in the bottom left

You can use the generic colour representation but will not get full points if its not that specific dye

[empty goblet]

I was looking at the Easy 100 pts that's why I am confused.

[little swift]

You must have pieces equipped in all slots to be considered eligible for full points

You can use any of the pieces on the list but the easy points is what's generally considered the cheapest option

[empty goblet]

The current is this one, does this mean I can use Racing Choco Mask instead of Fat one for 100pts?

Ah alright.

[little swift]

Yes you can

[empty goblet]

Thanks. You answered the question before I posted it :p

[little swift]

All of the pieces listed for a slot reward the same points amount

[empty goblet]

Alright. I was just a bit worried that I cant get one of the pieces as it requires lv 60 and HS.

[manic flare]

you should be able to get all the items needed 100 points in the free trial for this week's FR

[jolly sorrel]

I just got some Gold Cards from an Open Tournament in the saucer, for third place. What are first place rewards?

[empty goblet]

The ones I'm worried about are the legs/boots.

It's in Heavensward tho isn't it? I haven't unlocked it yet.

[twilit arch]

yeah, that's true

[empty goblet]

I was happy to go through 1-50 story under like 2-3 days. I'll probably take a break from MSQ

[little swift]

100points is usually a bit tougher to do in free trial so don't sweat it too much

[twilit arch]

unless you really want to get 100pts done this week, i'd just aim for the 80pts

[little swift]

There have been weeks with exceptionally easy combinations

[twilit arch]

and wait for an easier week for 100pts

[little swift]

Just wait for those yeah

[empty goblet]

Alright, I'll probably do that and go for the 80. Thanks.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a timer of some sort for fates? Particularly, Ixion.

[faint flare]

Super fates like ixion have like a 24-72 hour timer or something

[leaden ginkgo]

I see. I've never encountered that Fate. Maybe my server is just not active enough. I'm on pretty much every day.

[faint flare]

Or it dies when you're sleeping /not there

[leaden ginkgo]

oh, true

so elusive

[jolly sorrel]

You can join discord servers related to the Hunt, such as Centurio Hunts or Faloop. They usually have tags in place that ping you if a certain rare FATE is up

[lilac thicket]

For the Grand Company squadron members, can I completely change thier jobs? not just 1 DPS to a different DPS, but from DPS to healer, or tank?

[jolly sorrel]

What's a good way to gear up all of my alts to enter the lv71 dungeon? Grind a metric crapton of poetics?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

poetics come in bucket loads though. you get so much, you won't know what to do with it.

at least for me.

[mint beacon]

Im part of one of those, rare fates in all its honor even if they dont have fate call outs but it woiuld be nice with some of those fate trains. But maybe its my vanilla memories speaking and ppl dont do it anymore

[twilit arch]

yes you can switch them from a lancer to a conjurer if you want. there's books you can buy with gc seals to do so

contemporary warfare: (defense/magicks/offense)

[lilac thicket]

very nice, i quite like the people i have recruited, and don't want to boot anyone just to find another conjurer or paladin

[vital ruin]

Okay so sometimes when I queue for a DR and join as an adventurer in need and it says the roulette provides cracked plani/stellaclusters, I don't get the clusters why's that
Is it cos the moment my queue popped the adventurer in need changed?

[twilit arch]

no

[agile laurel]

rewards are given as of completion not entry iirc.

[twilit arch]

adventurer in need locks the moment you queue for the roulette

[agile laurel]

oh?

[vital ruin]

But then why don't I get

[twilit arch]

so if you queue up when AiN is dps, but changes to tank while you're waiting in queue, you will still get the rewards

[vital ruin]

But sometimes I don't get the rewards

[faint flare]

Are you 70 plus when queing

[vital ruin]

Nope

[faint flare]

That's why then

[vital ruin]

Sometimes below

[twilit arch]

that's why

[vital ruin]

Oh

[faint flare]

It's a 70 plus thing

[vital ruin]

Are those rewards for lv 70+

[twilit arch]

Those rewards are 70+

[vital ruin]

Oh

[remote lintel]

whats the macro command to target the closest party member

like when dragoons put the eye thing on

[modest igloo]

/macroicon "Dragon Sight"
/focustarget
/targetpc
/ac "Dragon Sight"
/target <f>

[remote lintel]

is it the /targetpc?

[modest igloo]

i think so

[storm dome]

Hello

Wanted to ask how is the endgame of FF14?

[modest igloo]

its good

[remote lintel]

we get 4 raids every 6 months with a 24 man raid in between

for a total of 12 raids and three 24-man raids

along with extremes

[modest igloo]

we also get some trials for weapons to use on top

ye EX's

[storm dome]

Thats quite a lot

[modest igloo]

there is also an ultimate around this time but it got pushed back due to covid

which is 4 raids back to back to back

[storm dome]

I was talking earlier about raids

they have fun mechanics

so they dont get stale

and they tend to be harder

if i am not mistaken

[remote lintel]

we have less raids than the average mmo but theyre better made

[storm dome]

thats what i heard at least

[modest igloo]

yep, a lot of people are still working on e12s lions

and its been out for like 6 months at this point

[storm dome]

I mean quality over quantity i guess aahahhaha

[storm dome]

That makes me excited tbh

i like well designed raids

and PvE in general

[modest igloo]

yep, and the fights aren't overly long

[storm dome]

like i am not hardcore but i like some challenge

[modest igloo]

like 12 mins tops

[storm dome]

You mean

when you learn all the mechanics

[onyx anchor]

Is NIN hard/complicated?

[storm dome]

and stuff of the boss right?

[modest igloo]

yep

[modest igloo]

yes

[onyx anchor]

How so?

[storm dome]

Most of the raids got 1 boss?

per flor or

floor. or the whole raid is one boss?

[modest igloo]

fast and gotta keep up hution, TA at every chance, put 7 gcd's in TA

[onyx anchor]

TA?

[modest igloo]

1 per floor, 4th floor has 2-3 phases

Trick Attack

The cooldown of Ninja

5% damage up for everyone in the raid for 15s

[onyx anchor]

How much is +5%?

[storm dome]

Are the floors instanced

[modest igloo]

yes

[modest igloo]

hard to quantify but a lot

[storm dome]

So you cant access all floors from one instance

if i am not mistaken

[faint flare]

No cause they're different instances

[storm dome]

Ah ok i get it

Thank you for explaining it to me

appreciate it

😆

[modest igloo]

np

there's also the raids from the first 3 expansions that people do

[storm dome]

Yeah

i saw that

people get the shiny weapons

from the coils of bahamut

or smth like that

for glamour

[modest igloo]

thats from ultimate

[faint flare]

That's the ultimate version of it

[modest igloo]

UCOB, TEA, and my favorite, UWU

[storm dome]

Yeah i guess ultimate is always hard

since you get scaled

with the raid

[pastel sparrow]

what attributes should i allocate to bozja ast relic?

[faint flare]

Yes, it's impossible to unsync any of them

[faint flare]

Follow your stat priority

Critical det then speed

[jolly sorrel]

As MNK, at how many mobs should I use Rockbreaker combo?

[modest igloo]

3 iirc

[jolly sorrel]

🙇

[thick pilot]

Is there any channel for trading itens? or sell/buy?

[modest igloo]

most people use PF

[thick pilot]

PF?

[modest igloo]

Party Finder

[remote lintel]

no

[thick pilot]

Oh ok ty

[outer plank]

People put listings for buying and selling particular stuff, usually at or below mb

And it’s usually crafting related

Like map glamour or trial weapon/mats

[thick pilot]

mb?

[faint flare]

Market board

[thick pilot]

I dont see market here 😦

[faint flare]

It's the auction house in game

Where you buy stuff from others when they put the listing up

[outer plank]

They are in every main hub town, the easiest accessible is in lominsa

If you can’t use it then you must be a free trial player

[junior ridge]

hey

I can't make the launcher dl the game, it gives me an error , Unable to complete version check.(30410)(30607)(20457)(404) just had a fresh format, i had the same issue before , i updated my timezone or something like that and that got it fixed, i tried it now again, but to no luck, does any1 know anything that can fix this?

[remote lintel]

disable vpns and update internet explorer

[rose oak]

There no way to make the camara go further than max or is there a way?

[remote lintel]

you cant

[rose oak]

Sometimes when I'm tanking I feel I'm missing stuff

[jolly sorrel]

About how many runs do I need to level trusts to 80?

[modest igloo]

6 per lvl, so close to 120 for everyone

[jolly sorrel]

Hot damn. Alright, thanks.

[modest igloo]

you only need to lvl 3 since the last character is already 80 and can adjust to your role

[jolly sorrel]

Still, 120 dungeons, half hour per

[rose oak]

Is there a way to have a better field of view then while tanking?

[remote lintel]

use your compass and map

you shouldnt need a huge field of view for dungeons

[rose oak]

I mean raids

[misty kraken]

Does anyone know how I save my UI/hot bar setups from my PS4 version to use on my ps5 version?

[rose oak]

Sometimes in DR for example ice girl I can't see what she is gonna slap half the arena with

[remote lintel]

its above her head?

[faint flare]

Character and setting backup on character selection

[remote lintel]

i just turn my camera to a top down view for that usually

and stay right under her

[rose oak]

Yes but at time I'm all over her crotch tanking and can't see

[remote lintel]

turn your camera down

or dont MT

[rose oak]

Gotcha

I mean u know DR, sometimes is only 1 tank for the whole thing

Or 1 healer lol

[paper raptor]

I assume dungeons are better for leveling to 80 than Bozja?

[faint flare]

Just slightly cause you can use food and fc buff to buff it

But bojza is pretty good for levelling

[ripe hound]

If I do the ARR Relic now, do I get replica versions for every stage?

[twilit arch]

once you finish it, yes

[ripe hound]

Or no replicas for ARR Relic?

[twilit arch]

you have to have a completed zeta to buy the replicas

[ripe hound]

Cool, do I need to finish it completely? Or do I get access to replicas for every stage?

I see

How long does it seem to take to finish a Zeta? About 40-50 hours?

[leaden ginkgo]

Can anyone tell me how I can cover the lower Part (the area beneath the lion) with walls? I dont want that gap to be there xD

I have seen it on my houses, but I have no idea how they do it

[ripe hound]

Should be a lot less than 100 hours right?

[modest igloo]

eh

[ripe hound]

Oh no

[modest igloo]

book step takes a while

[ripe hound]

Oh fuck

[pine onyx]

I'm currently doing the free trial until I reach the level or gil cap. Assuming I want the complete version once I reach that point, which of these should I get?

[ripe hound]

I guess I won’t finish it then...

[pine onyx]

Either shadowbringers or shadowbringers collectors?

[faint flare]

Complete edition

[ripe hound]

I just want something that looks like a normal shield that glows for PLD

[faint flare]

Just shadowbringers won't work cause you don't own the game

[ripe hound]

Something that looks like the ENDWALKER trailer stuff, but glows

[modest igloo]

i mean you can just do the first two steps

[pine onyx]

FFXIV complete edition is original + the expansions then?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I guess I’ll go get that one

[remote lintel]

yes nyu

[faint flare]

Yes, it's starter edition and shadowbringers together

[pine onyx]

Including the previous expansions I imagine

[ripe hound]

The Sword of the Round is great, but the Shield is a bit too weirdly shaped

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers has stormblood by default

So yes

[pine onyx]

Is the collector edition worth getting?

[manic flare]

is the Zantsuteken naturally glowy or are these just modded versions?

[faint flare]

If you want those cosmetics

[remote lintel]

you can upgrade to collectors at any time

from mog station

[ripe hound]

Do you guys think Stormblood will enter standard / free trail in 6.0?

[remote lintel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pine onyx]

Gotcha, thanks

[ripe hound]

True

[manic flare]

it maay in the future, but unlikely at the start of 6.0

[ripe hound]

Make sense

[faint flare]

Trial only recently got upgrade

[pine onyx]

Also, what are the differences between entry and standard memberships?

[faint flare]

So no

[remote lintel]

!faq subprice

[pine onyx]

Besides the number of characters

[zinc orbit]

Yeah, maybe 6.5 or something

[remote lintel]

nothing

[faint flare]

only characters

[faint flare]

Only difference

[pine onyx]

I should go for entry then

[faint flare]

Yes

[pine onyx]

Thanks

[quartz spire]

so...just went to the Lavender beds...

[faint flare]

Is this a question

[quartz spire]

nah, just tryign to figure out whats what

[faint flare]

This isnt a channel for random updates

[remote lintel]

thats the housing area

[rose oak]

Is there any website that tell you available house plots

[faint flare]

No

[rose oak]

Dang

[jolly sorrel]

Is there anything to gain from rank up in Bozja beyond 10?

[faint flare]

Better lost action access, bigger holster, delerum savage

[jolly sorrel]

Thank you. Zadnor?

[faint flare]

[jolly sorrel]

Next relic step, too?

[faint flare]

Yes

Loud and clear.

[faint flare]

It's the final update for bojza

[hollow violet]

When doing light farm portion for Anima weapon do you have to have that weapon equipped or can I change to a job that's faster for solo'ing?

[faint flare]

Equipped when the final boss dies

[soft notch]

Hi, i'm a returning player, i'm downloading the game before subbing, if i download the "free trial game" am i able to play the full game once i sub or do i have to download more stuff?

[hollow violet]

Ah okay thanks, same as for the dungeons then.

[remote lintel]

depends what you bought fran

if you bought the complete edition/shadowbringers then you need to download it

[soft notch]

I have all expansions except shadowbringers

[faint flare]

You would need a new account if you're returning but Yes you can continue on with your trial account by buying the game again

[twilit arch]

downloading the free trial won't be helpful for you

[remote lintel]

you cant play the trial if you already bought the game on that account

[hollow violet]

I had to uninstall the trial on steam and install the non-trial version separately

[faint flare]

Your old account can't use the trial

[soft notch]

oh, so i'm downloading the game files but can't use them?

[faint flare]

Not with your old account

[soft notch]

[faint flare]

Owning the game disqualifies you from the trial

[remote lintel]

its just going to tell you to sub

[faint flare]

You would need a new account completely

And to rebuy the game to continue with that

[soft notch]

Ok, so if i sub and then start the client it starts downloading from 0?

even tho it's the same client

[dense ermine]

itll check for files

[soft notch]

So i don't lose downloaded files, right?

[dense ermine]

you shouldnt lose the files

unless you intentionally delete them

[soft notch]

Since i have a slow connection i'm trying to download them with a free trial account and then switch to my account

[hollow violet]

Is Alexander Savage rough to do? How large a party would I need to recruit for unsync'd runs?

[modest igloo]

its pretty easy with 8 lvl 80s

[hollow violet]

8 a good minimum? My FC is pretty small, I'll be lucky to recruit 3 80's and a 70 xD

[twilit arch]

you can do most with less

[modest igloo]

less than 6 and things start to get a little dicey for newer players

but you can put up a PF for the rest

[hollow violet]

Gotcha. Same apply to the lower difficulties? I'll have to clear them to unlock savage if the usual pattern holds

[modest igloo]

you can solo coils with a tank easy

[faint flare]

Normal mode Alexander is in roulettes

So

[modest igloo]

yeah normal is pretty easy as well

[leaden ginkgo]

Is this a special mob or something?

[hardy gazelle]

anyone happen to know the highest dps tank at lv 50 or so?

[left moth]

In southern front star mobs are highest difficulty/nm's. Need either a full party or pray death procs (and can run if it doesnt)

[jolly sorrel]

Neat. Do they give anything special?

[left moth]

They drop high grade lost actions

Well high grade for not being castrum or DR

[modest igloo]

all are about the same

[jolly sorrel]

Alright, thank you.

[leaden ginkgo]

No once can help me :(?

[onyx anchor]

for levelling at early levels, is doing dungeons asap a good idea?

[modest igloo]

i dont have a house sorry m8

[left moth]

I dont know enough about clipping things into the wall to respond

[obsidian patio]

I don’t think you can while making it look neat. Unless floating furniture glitches work that good

[left moth]

It looks like just a regular stage with crystal tower throne glitched on

[obsidian patio]

That’s the middle part of a mansion with the split staircase

[leaden ginkgo]

In a normal Large house there is a gap in the wall

[left moth]

Oh (derp)

[leaden ginkgo]

somehow they managed to cover it with walls

[obsidian patio]

Probably through floating furniture

[pale vessel]

I'm about to switch to PS4 Pro for now so I'm going to buy the complete edition on psn and I saw that it comes with 30 days as well but I already have a active subscription, so does that mean that I'm getting extra 30 days or ...?

[modest igloo]

it adds

[obsidian patio]

If you already have the starter edition on PS4 you can’t redeem the complete addition

[pale vessel]

I have all the expansions on pc

[rich bay]

There are some good guides on youtube that shows how you can do it.

Search for floating funiture FF14

[leaden ginkgo]

I just found out that you can not really cover that part. Its outside of the house area

the walls come with the area you live at

._.

Here you can see an almost naked house large from the gobblets

😦

Guess I will have to life with the gap xD

[onyx anchor]

what would y'all say is the easiest dps class?

[strong saddle]

Depends on "easy"

[faint flare]

Dancer

[strong saddle]

we talking rotation wise

Or

[onyx anchor]

aye

[strong saddle]

Dancer then

[faint flare]

It's dancer without question on pretty much all fronts

Use shit on Cooldown and press glory button

That's it

[onyx anchor]

rlly...? dnc seems tricky

[faint flare]

It isnt

[onyx anchor]

then again, i played it for like 5 secs

[faint flare]

If it glows, you press it

And use stuff on Cooldown

Glowy button goes brrrr

[modest igloo]

its only somewhat difficult if you don't like procs

[onyx anchor]

aight what about 2nd easiest?

xD

[modest igloo]

red mage/bard

bard has lots of things to keep up and red mage has caster and melee phases

[onyx anchor]

bard and easy don't belong together

[modest igloo]

its pretty easy imo

but thats my opinion

[little swift]

bard has a low barrier to entry but it can become complex when having to deal with all the reactionary procs on top of song/dot management

[agile laurel]

bard is the extreme end of 'proc management'

more mindful than dancer

[little swift]

but difficulty is subjective

most people find its base gameplay while leveling to be more on the simple end though

[agile laurel]

but if you consider that bard outside of proc management is reset dots and press burst shot

i am a little biased due to having leveled as bard

it also benefits from having all of its important kit by heavensward

[onyx anchor]

i started as ARC/BRD

then i gave up

[modest igloo]

I consider MCH to be easy but it has a very fast rotation with little space to drift big CD's

[agile laurel]

i suppose we had different experiences. i can play bard extremely comfortably, helped a lot I suspect by leveling

[remote lintel]

tbh i just press glowy button on bard and do the rotation

[agile laurel]

I just find other jobs a bit more cathartic

[modest igloo]

no procs is nice tho

[onyx anchor]

yea, mch is easy

[delicate field]

can you server hop for Fetes? it says they have a cooldown of a day or two, but also that each server has a different schedule

[remote lintel]

no

[agile laurel]

mch's micromanagement comes from keeping its very many large CDs, on CD

dnc is a half and half between that and proc awareness

brd is primarily proc awareness

[rich bay]

Nope, Firmament is blocked off for wanderers after compaints.

[delicate field]

uhh what kind of complaints? like a long time ago?

[remote lintel]

people would get blocked out of their own firmament

[rich bay]

[agile laurel]

overloaded locations

no more teleports in

[wintry chasm]

Yeah if you could go to other servers you'd be blocked out of fetes all the time

[little swift]

people had their own firmament restorations completed without the opportunity to participate

this isn't even just a complaint, its just unfair

[delicate field]

ohh yes that makes sense, if each server's firmament were at different stages

[high otter]

Is tanking in this game complicated? Like special tank tactics and patterns? Or tank just must keep aggro and face the boss away from the raid?

[shrewd owl]

Tanking is very easy
Do your rotation and roll through your defensive cooldowns

Follow the boss mechanics which imo is easier as a tank

Compared to melee dps

And yeah face them away

[inland crystal]

me and a friend of mine are thinking of trying the free trial together, but i discovered that i can't form a party with him, so does that mean i can't play with him?

[shrewd owl]

There’s a few fights where you tank swap but thats mostly high end content

[shrewd owl]

well there is a chance that you could ask a non trial player to invite the both of you into a party but ive never tried smth like that so idk how that would go

[high otter]

standard player can invite trial-players into the group

also they can send private messages to trial-players, but can't trade with them or send mails

[inland crystal]

I was thinking of that, like someone invites us to a party then leave if he wants.
But i think i read that free trial players can't be party leaders

[high otter]

keep in mind that you can't ask players around you to do that, because as a trial player you're forbidden to send private messages to anyone

so your only choice for such scheme is to find someone here, in discord

which leads to problem with not having said person online 24/7, and he most likely won't be playing when you want to call a friend

or he could be doing his own things

[faint flare]

You can use say

To ask people for invites

[pine onyx]

Only skills saying "attack with a potency of X" deals damage, right?

[faint flare]

Generally yes. There needs to be a potency number somewhere

Potency is damage

[pine onyx]

Gotcha

[high otter]

Still read description. For example, Limit Break tells nothing about potency

yet it deals damage

[pine onyx]

I'm thinking about skills like repelling shot

[faint flare]

That doesn't do damage

[pine onyx]

It looks like it delivers an attack, but I don't believe it deals damage

yeah

[faint flare]

Attacks also have flying text on the enemy when it hitd

[pine onyx]

It's a bit hard to keep track of

With all the CD and DoTs

[glossy flare]

repelling shot is a common "trap" skill tbh

it's pretty useless all things considered

as a physical ranged you rarely have the need to make a sudden backstep

[inland crystal]

what i was thinking is asking in lfgs or something like that, or even asking in the ingame chat like what vinyl said.
but that would be for nothing if i can't be a party leader

[glossy flare]

you can just... walk

[rich bay]

You can try to get into the Novice Network, the mentors there always help a free trial players setup parties.

Mentors can invite you in there. (Players with the ||Burger king|| Crown next to their name.)

And yes, free trial players can be party leaders, they just can't start a party.

@inland crystal

[inland crystal]

oh thats really good to hear

thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

Need help from the PC players. It is giving me errors such as [30413] [25008] and [10009] and I have no idea what to do.

[fading aurora]

@leaden ginkgo have u had the game installed before?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yep. Had to uninstall because it gave me multiple ffxiv_dx11 errors every time I boot it up

[rich bay]

@tender estuary

[fading aurora]

and did you install it from the same place or did you install it from a different platform

[leaden ginkgo]

I installed from steam

[fading aurora]

what about the first time

[leaden ginkgo]

Same place

[tender estuary]

the unable to download patch files?

[spare plinth]

if done wrong, can a rdm's displaement turn someone into a floor tank like dragoon?

[fading aurora]

either try deleteing cahce folder or try deleting the whole game foler in my documents/games
