400 GP for +12 at 4 hit integrity node
kings 2 is 500 gp
or is it 600? either way, you arent getting as much yield per GP at 4 hit integrity nodes
how much will endwalker cost when its released if you own shadowbringers?
40, the usual
Pick Clean is one you always want to use if applicable
there's no discount for owning the previous expansions
pick clean doesn't work on these nodes ssadly
well i dont know the cost f the expansions
Is there something special you have to do to get aithon to drop?
pick clean requires there to be a possibility of HQ, which Diadem doesnt
ive only just bought shadowbringers which was 80 bucks
endwalker will be 40 regardless
Nope, just rng
Damn I say that then get it next run. Ty
Was getting worried since I got nightmare from it before and thought they might mess up the normal one
Do all the EX mounts have the same drop rates as those horses in the original EX trials?
No hard confirmation due to the numbers being unknown, but it feels like it
current ex's have lower %, iirc
well they want current to be low so people still do them
I just started my conjurer/white mage. Whats the point in having all my heals be like 1.5-2.0 sec cast time, but the GCD is 2.5 sec? Am I missing something or is that just completely useless xD?
in which city is conjure guild hall ?
Gridina
thx
so you can use OGCD's more later
Allows you to use oGCDs
@modest igloo It will make sense later on then ?
DPS mages are the same way
Can you be a paladin and a dark knight?

almost always
you can be every class
At the same time? No
But you can play every class
they have instant casts so you can weave
Some guy went on to me about not having a stone when I wanted to go for dk
or ways to get instant casts to weave
I’ve got like 43 main quests left until the next arc
nowadays where do i get materia ranked I - III ? It's for Curtana & Holy Shield
MB
Marketboard
make sure to always equip your jobstone the moment you can
Getting them manually is much more annoying nowadays as overworld monsters don’t spiritbond gear anymore
extracting materia from lower level 100% spiritbonded gear
though you are only going to spiritbond low gear leveling rarely
or intentionally grinding it XD
anyone who can tell me what weapon this is?
shire whm weapon
That’s what I’m asking. I only see the Paladin quest.
thx
You need to do the drk unlock quest
you need to get to ishgard
Yeah I know
Is it a problem not going for paladin until then? I mean I assume that gives a job stone too or something
...what
Your job stone is mandatory
I haven’t even started the paladin quest
since they unlock skills
Every job is completely independent of eachother
Your job quests are mandatory
you need to do your job quests
Which one
all of them
all of them
The ones for your job
I’ve been doing gladiator and the paladin looks like the only one next
Then do it?
Paladin is your job
Yes, do it to get it
do the quests to get it, gld becomed pld at 30
you get a stone after you done the lv 30 quest
If you're still a class in the higher level dungeons people won't hesitate to kick
the quest should show the stone in the rewards section
also it sounds like youre lvl 50 and still a gladiator when you should have become a paladin at 30
Does the GNB not have a lvl 70 class style set?
No
Expansion jobs skip the old level cap they were introduced after
So heavensward job skips 50 set, stormblood jobs skip 60 set, shadowbringers job skips 70 sets
ah ok
So I've checked the balance for dragon sight macros but they're pretty much catered to static raiding; is there a go-to macro people use for pug settings?
Mmm
/tpc automatically targets the closest player near you
/tle targets the last enemy you targeted
I think I tried that during delubrum and it tries to target non party members
Yeah it doesn’t work great for alliance/DR
You’d need it to target specific party slots in those scenarios
In which case you’d remove the /tpc and attach <2> after the dragon sight in the action lines
With 2 corresponding to their position in the party list
Hmmm
Would there happen to be a way to force the party list to re-sort itself when someone new joins?
No, but you can just press a /psort macro
I've been using this really wonky macro that tries each slot in order starting with DPS slots first
Hearing a little peep that you cant use Tomestones of Poetics to get Lv.80 gear in Shadowbringers.
Persay then, how do I.. get level 80 gear so I know for later
But it kind of falls apart whenever someone leaves the instance and a new person fills in
Just /psort
Ah poop, oh well.
Thanks I'll try a few runs with that
you can also just buy the crafted set of ilvl 510
huh
once you hit 80
where
MB
Correct, Poetics are for old expac stuff only
is potd or delubrium faster for timeworn artifact step of relic
never done potd so idk what thats like
I don’t remember what MB is
Market board
market board
Hell no
It's like 1mil a set
Expensive ass gear people selling it for that much when I barely have 300,000 to my name
then prepare to grind a lot
What have you even been spending money on
There's nothing to buy while doing the story
Glamours
Well that's why.
Then that's a you issue
yeah its a bit funky @hard elm
I thought I figured it out, but guess not.
done fucking around before grinding gil for more glamour?

I rotate an item, and as soon as I leave the rotate menu, it goes back to the way it was before.
make sure to left/right click the item once its done rotating
there is a way to re-order the party list?
Yes
Ah, there we go. Thank you. 🙂
None of the furniture seems to do anything, though. Like, I can't store anything in the armoire.
/Psort or just open the party list in social menu
Armoire is for specific items
Typical event items and lv50 job gear
And vet rewards
is there a way to re-acquie the veteran rewards when you accidentally deleted them?
calamity salvager
It's the Maelstrom armoire.
those do not store things
you just store it in the void
there's an armoire in the inn
is there any way to get the sound effects for things like the one used when casting spells?
what for?
some shitpost
you could turn off all sounds save sound effects and record it in a quiet area
How do I put items in my glamour dresser? I'm at the dresser now, but right-clicking on items in my inventory or armory chest don't show a "deposit in dresser" option.
do you have prisms?
I have glamour prisms.
you need to interact with the dresser
Oh, I have to left-click on it. I was trying to right-click on it.
Hey, so when does my Novice badge change/go away? I finished the Hall of the Novice for my starting class
7 days of play time and getting to shadowbringers
When you start shadowbringers story and have 168 hours playtime
..... so never unless I get off the trial lmao
yep
lmao thanks
this mechanic has me confused, the snapshot is different from normal i think.
no it isnt
I think I got it better now
It's just showing you the order they'll hit
^
after they show you the aoe telegraphs the attacks will hit without notice in order
I mean I had it down but still couldn't tell when they would go off
after the last red square disappears
stand in the ones that appear second, after the first one goes off move there to avoid the late one
You wait in the safe zone of the first telegraphs then dodge after that attack hits
Yea that's what i eventually ended up doing, was just coming here to confirm how it works. ty

is freeze better than blizzard 3 for openers?
!faq blmleveling
hey is there any way to make like a paragraoph of text into a marco?
Why is it that sometimes it doesn't show the gil made in the retainers inventory? It said 0 but when I took the retainer out it had 150k inside but yesterday it said I had 80k
Does it not update while offline
@urban vector just type the text into the macro?
but if its annoying you can be kicked for it
it gets cut up and turns into multiple sentances
its a recruitment message for a new fc
no its like a whole paragraph
is there a resource for macros in this game?
like the various different macro commands
i mean did you type the entire message in one line in the macro
@manic flare theyre on lodestone
yeah i did and it just gets sut massivly short and i cant add more. there seems to be a character limit per line
Just go to a new line with a new /shout line
might have to and change the grammer so it doesnt look so broken
it also shows you the commands in game iirc ^
What expansion is Samurai from?
Stormblood
stormsblood
How do I make auto-translate messages to say hi/gg?
you can make a macro
type hell and press tab
Press tab to bring up the auto translate dictionary
and goo and press tab
ah cool
How do u get the coeurl mount?
Or begin typing something and press tab to search the dictionary
Purchase ARR digital collector’s edition upgrade on Mog Station
Ah
Also contains fat chocobo mount, wind up moogle, baby behemoth minion, behemoth barding and Helm of Light.
Armoury bonus affects PotD, but as far as I know no other exp boosts do.
EXP boosting equipment only works on monster kills and crafting/gathering items
only updates when you talk to them
Buddy wantin to try free trial. Both XP boosted crystal servers are locked
Is it because prime time or?
Says they aren't accepting new players
Yes
He updated info and he was able to get into 1
Can you remove this casting bar from party? https://i.imgur.com/Zuv0hSE.png
No
I assume there's no way to remove certain actions from the pet hotbar?
So Any tips on spawning the Fate "A wrench in the works"?
No you can't change the pet hotbae
.>
<.<
*hotbar
Shhh
ugh. just want to get rid of away. the times ive hit it in extremes is not zero XD
Just turn off the pet hotbar
No reason to have it on
Just put the actions you need on your own hotbar
i dont think you can?
not there
It's the small carbuncle icon
oh. that's orders XD

Yeah just get the stuff you need (place, heel, sic if you’re SMN)
The pet hotbar is a bit of a waste of space
Can I sub while logged in or do I have to exit the game? Just hit the Gil cap 🤷♂️
How long does it take to get 1m mgp?
You might need to log out and log back in for your client to notice you're subbed.
@indigo bluff are u on trial?
If so when u buy the game it will need to update before u can play so u can't stay in game
Yeah, I'm guessing complete edition is the way to go. Will do Ty
can i get the chocobo compaion as free trial ?
Yes
read something that you need to have acces to a house
but i dont know if thats outdated
You can get it to fight with you without housing
So uhh, so where I can grind from 40-50?
Just joined yesterday

But basically just do dungeon spamming
Should be like cutters cry or stone vigil at that point
Wait is this your first class? You shouldn’t need to be grinding
Do the main story
No second
Aight then
Maxed out pala
Haven't played for 5 months I think
Now I'm firgue out which buttons does what
You can do potd , it's not bad for lowbie leveling
How long takes the quests after a realm reborn?
the 2.x ones or 3.0?
80 quests
are you in ishgard?
i havent unlocked a new zone yet
Plus Crystal Tower plus Ifrit, Garuda and Titan hard mode
then 80 + those quests until 3.0
Starts off slow but builds pretty strongly to the beginning of Heavensward. Also foreshadows and sets up literally every other expansion.
what's the name of the quest you're on
A simple plan
you should be getting augmented ironworks, which is 130
it started off with 90, then it become 110
seems you have abt 28 quests left until heavensward, by my count
Then you’re like three quarters there
ohhh, alright thanks
And you’re into the good stuff
Purchase augmented ironworks gear from Auriana in Mor Dhona or Rowena’s Representative by the aetheryte in any of the three cities
Costs Allagan tomestones of poetics which you should have earned a fair number of by now
yea i have some, ill buy it. ty!
Am I correct that only certain items can go in the armoire in the inn room? my inventory has hit critical mass and I'm on the trial
only certain things can armoire, correct
I’m 99% sure that for this mechanic, the red areas just show you what areas will be attacked.
The actual attack snapshot happens when the animation actually plays.
I haven’t even started the game I’m just wondering can trial players have multiple characters?
Not on the same server, but yes.
I've done a little dance with buybacks at the guild suppliers when grinding my crafting levels. Sell something to them to make room, make stuff, and then buy them back
You’ll need to buy the game and use a “Standard” subscription to have multiple characters on a single world
Though having multiple characters isn’t really a plus for this game since you can be every job on one.
Ye but I’d like to have different races for certain classes
Can you be on different data centers?
this question was answered a while ago.
Is CW and CCW used for Phaser unlimited or Tiles for umbra Savage?
This is everything that can go in the armoire, basically just achievement and event gear https://ffxivcollect.com/armoires
Are there any jobs that are particularly better enjoyable on controller?
I’m thinking of buying for PS4
whats a good way to get allagan tomestone of poetics?
Or should I just stick to Pc if given the choice
All jobs work fine on controller
@boreal storm thanks!
Whichever platform you’re on, you can use either control method
yeah, the hotbar on the controller is gr8
You can plug a keyboard and mouse into the PS4, or a controller into your pc
you can play on multiple datacenters
!faq poetics
If you own a PS5, there's an update coming
...Kupo pls
he ded
who killed the moogle? 🍴
okay ty
Are strongholds liek dungeons?
What do you mean by strongholds
There’s no game mechanic called strongholds in FFXIV
I see a place on the map called Sylph stronghold
thats just a structure
That’s just a map landmark
oh
Is there anyway to increase the Max amount you can carry of poetics?
no
No
Nope.
2000 is always the cap
Also is there a lvl 80 armor similar to the other poetics?
I'm so close to finishing SHB lol
the tome gear
Is the lvl cap gear right?
theres a bunch of gear at level cap
80 is where gear gets proper and you work for it by getting lv80 tomes
Any idea if they are gonna up weekly revelation cap before 6.0 like they did before ShB?
you specifically have lvl 80 tomes
So poetics become irrelevant at cap? Or no?
Poetics are the old cap tomes, and relics
the lvl cap always has 2 new tomes
They get used for buying gear for levelling classes
Yeah, there's Tomestones of Allegory and Tomestones of Revelation at level 80. What happens is when Endwalker comes out, those will be changed into Tomestones of Poetics, and some new currency will come out for the level 90 gear.
once endwalker comes out the current tome gear will be poetics gear
Yes as standard
I see thanks for info yall
Poetics are really just for making your levelling smoother
So 900 at some point before expansion drops?
Yes
yeh
When is endwalkers? Like Q3 2021?
Fall
Yes
A lot of game releases are around Q3 yeah
We have fanfest in a few weeks for more news
used to be july for FF14 but XD
July isn't a very good month, summer as a whole actually, to drop huge releases. That's why it most likely got moved to Q3
it was because of covid
I could see covid being a factor, and I honestly wouldn't doubt it was a huge reason, but fall is a better release season as a whole as well
They straight said ir
there's no reason to believe it was anythign but covid
Basically
It’s entirely because of Covid
when a, it was said, and b, the expac release historically has been in july
there was no reason to assume that endwalker would've been different if covid hadn't happen
SE sticks to a very rigid schedule
how do you guys spend your allied seals?
It only gets changed if something is VERY WRONG
Assume the date to be August or September
besides getting the minions

And dyable lv60 class gear
Other than that there's nothing you're missing from allied seals
dyeable 60 isn't allied
is there a way to buy craft mats from allied seals?
that's centurio
Oh that's. Centurio seals. I'm sorry
i thinnk u can buy gear from allied seals vendor too
Yeah buts different gear
Yeah, but it’s a lot more annoying to get a lot of allied seals
what do you mean
Materia, minions, music, ect

with EW release, will we get a increase in inventory space and dresser space?
Glam dresser space increase is uncertain
The assumption is yes, but the real answer is they haven't said anything about adding plates or increasing glamour dresser space
I got 5 loathsome memories left and I go the last 10 from castrum, for the last ones what is my best aproach, create a party finder for the last 5 for C Tower, or just hope for another clear of another CLL?
Wait what? They are deleting belts?
Yep
Cool
they thought about removing a ring slot too but decided against it
Yeah, I can see why they thought about it
yeet them off loot tables too
But how will our pants stay up now
I do like having an extra “accessory” though...
Makes boosting up ilv easier
We'll get 5 slots for weapons and rings with the extra slots from removing belts being saved for later
5 slots (cry)
Ilvl will be easier to raise
Yeah, make sense
Cause it will be "add all slots then divide by 12" instead of divide by 13
Plus we save like 395 tomes
Yeah, I just feel like it’s gonna change from “6 cheap slots out of 13” to “5 cheap slots out of 12”
But yeah, saving 395 tomes sounds nice
But now the first savage fight for each tier will only drop 5 slots of gear (cry)
I liked having half of my gear being max ilv while only being able to clear the first fight lol
So are we gonna start to have ability bloat with endwalkers or?
No
We maybe just gonna get skill upgrades?
It's just sad because there's a chance cool skilled could get removed
If it'd a used ability it will stick around
But unused or extremely niche abilities (eyeing you shield bash. Undraw, fluid aura) will probably be removed

Question. Does Salted Ground from DRK get placed on what you have targeted or is it the cursor you move around?
you place it with the cursor
Cursor
Gross. Might set a macro for that then
How can I access goblet housing
If you’ve done the quest that takes you there, through the Ul’dah aetheryte.
If not there’s a sidequest in western thanalan called “Where the heart is” that takes you to a gate near a small settlement
How many housing areas are there? Cus I go to mist wards
Ok thank you 🎊
Well longer cause ishgard is 6.1
oh
So like 8 months or something
Is there a point in housing?
Besides like....striking dummies to practice opener/rotations
Gardening, workshops for Fcs...quick access to summoning bells and market board, gil sink
Summoning bell?
the thing you use to call your retainer
For retainers
Ah
you can have one at your house
my FCs house is also right next to a MB
so thats a nice bonus
So basically. Aesthetics and some quick access to things
just something to do if youre done with other things
And gardening which can make money
also gil sink
hey i just did my first fete cuz timezones, just a quick question, is it the same events every time?
Yep
Where in the market do I buy shiny weapons? People keep saying they get them from market but idk where the wep skin section is
They're just regular weapons
So you look under the normal gear stuff and use Try on to see its look
Does dancer have any that shine like that?
That's sucks
I would of loved a red shiny wep for dancer, are primals hard to craft?
dancer should have a shiny hades wep too now iirc
Not really... Just get the mats and up its progress bar
@analog gate do u know the name
It's augmented something... Lv80
augmented zelotupia
Filter for dancer weapon
Shiny primal weapons can be traded between players
With 2 exception for ARR primals
Is there a way to unshief the wep in preview?
Yes, the unsteathe button at the bottom
What I meant is to have them out as if I'm fighting to see the glow lol
Just press the unsteathe button
if its not showing the glow its not a weapon with a glow
did you get it from the MB or get it as a drop from the trial
I'm looking at it on mb
it only glows when its unsheathed
Does anyone know the name of the hades one
^
@fast talon it doesn't glow for me when I look at it on market
it only glows when unsheathed
unshethe it
as i said
how do i unseathe it in market the button only hides or shows the weps to the side
i was looking at the first button that says seathe
you know what, that's fair
in fetes what are the possible rewards. i only got tokens and an orchestrion roll
Can also check what the tokens exchange for, for most the items
oh you can actually get the mount to drop from the fete present?
can you get the new coffer from it or is that only exchanging 50 tokens
Does shadowbringers begin at the level 70 msq?
oh wait never mind i see it
yes
yes seby
The first shadowbringers quest is lv70 yes
Ok ty
lvl 70 msq will either be the last SB quests, post-SB quests, or ShB
expansions always start at the previous level cap
Are Fetes still going on? What is the schedule? I go to the Firmament, and it always says ‘fetes happening soon’ when is soon?
Just to clarify
Check the duty list
the last one for the day just ended like 40 mins ago
The countdown is there
its shows on the duty list when it will happen
Lvl 70 msq doesn't mark the start of Shadowbringers
also the fete schedules are staggered
so not every server is going to be doing their fetes at the same time
That's the duty list
yes thats the duty list
okay so only if youre in ishgard then
mhm
ive noticed its always early morning for me in my timezone, which is weird since im on the JP server, youd think they'd make it evening when more people are playing
Hi friends. So, sorry to hijack the conversation here. 😅 But I need help. 😭
Ask away
I just recieved my 500th commendation, which gives me a new mount, and I can't seem to find it.
Achievement windows now
I went to Jonathas and he isn't giving me anything, unfortunately.
oh theres a 2 day gap between fete days? that iddnt know, maybe that's why the time always looked so off to me
Jonathas lost his job to new technology
....I figured it out. oh my god.
still hillarious
When did this happen?!
The ability to claim directly form the window
5.5 made jonathas obselete
This patch
5.5
LOL
Well his main job
How long does the fete go on? To 6.0?
Forever
I feel SO dumb. I've been searching for this for like 30 minutes, and it was as easy as just clicking on him xD
the item**
Thank you ^^
Where do people get Heavenscrackers and Bombard Blooms from? There seems to be a never ending supply on the market board
Seasonal events
Heavenscrackers usually come from the Anniversary event, and Bombard Blooms should be from the moon fire faire
The moon fire fair was about a year ago. But the supply still hasn’t dried up?
people probably stocked up or hoarded theirs until now
You can just buy them with Gil so people hoard them
Is there a way to lock in place the map that appears top left
new here, is there a place where people can ask for more people to run a trial with them? just as a one off thing
When u press m
Hello, I'm new to the gaming world and this games specifically
Currently i'm in my free trial and i want to buy the game so here's my question:
If I buy the complete edition, do i get more than 30 days? Or is it still 30 same as starter pack
Just 30
asking in your server’s novice network usually works
im not in one for some reason?
you have to be added to it manually
stand in limsa and ask in say chat to be added to novice network
ah, ok, thank you
Well, is it worth to get the complete pack? or does it not matter when i'm starting
generally, we recommend finishing free trial first
you should do the trial first
finish the main story up to the lvl 60 content
after you do the trial and feel like buying the game, i would just recommend going for complete at that point
yeah, starter edition doesnt give you any extra story content that isn’t available in free trial
it only unlocks the social restrictions like free companies and buying off the market board
Ah nice
Last question, there's no difference between the launcher version and steam one right?
not gameplay wise
no, they’re not interchangeable
each account can only have either steam, or the standalone version registered to it
so if you started on steam, you won’t be able to play on the standalone pc version unless you start over with a new account
Steam players must launch through Steam.
Alright lots of thanks!
Can someone help a noob with a question?
when do the fetch quests end? or like the main story end?
im currently at the level 30 msq
go for it
msq is ongoing
a long while. this game primarily focuses on story/msq
then how do i lower the global cooldown?
global cooldown of what
get more skill/spell speed
I am about 14 levels past the MSQ, should I just continue on with my current Class/Job or should I take this time to start leveling another one?
like just the skills in general
you won’t get much lower than 2.5 seconds
oh your attacks, yeah just get better skill speed, though some classes dont want lower global cooldowns
@proud shell i would recommend getting another one at that point
unless you really like the job you have, i would recommend getting at least one other alt
each skill/spell speed tier lowers the gcd by .01 seconds
maybe in a role different from your main
@remote lintel perfect thank you, now to figure out which one lol
just so that youre not massively overleveled and maybe to get a diffenet feel of the game
You don’t, at least not significantly.
if you’re wondering if it’s possible to get it down to 1.5 seconds like wow, it’s not
What are some good lost actions for a samurai?
i think the lowest gcd achievable is like 2.3 or something by monk because they naturally have faster gcd
The gcd is fairly long so you can weave and double weave ogcds in between.
If I start a whole new character do they start a new MSQ line or do they start where I left off on my main and is it the same to just change my main to a different job?
sorry really new and still trying to figure the game out
your classes and story progress are tied to one character
characters are almost like entirely different accounts
one character can level all classes and jobs
they dont share anything
Monks are sub-2seconds
Ok so if I start a whole new character I would start over on the MSQ then
a new character, as in a new name and everything, will reset the MSQ. but in ffxiv you can change jobs/classes on the fly just by changing your weapon
yes
wow monk speedy
Ok so if I just change my Job on my Main then I could just level the new job up to match my current MSQ and then go from there
yes
yes that’s it
Yes
thats what people mean when they say get a new job
and then you can alternate accepting quests with your different jobs so they end up levelling at the same time
kk, that makes sense. I would then push the MSQ up to my "main" job lvl with the new job. Seems like the best use of time
!faq altlvlguide
Yo so if I wanna LFG for fate farming for Primal server which discord should I use.
i have a level 51 warrior and on msq lvl 30 should i bother swapping to a different class or should i just stick with it?
yes i would
ok thanks
Nobody joined for it. So I wanted to try my luck in discord.
Got it.
Guys, this eden raid is also once a week?
wait guys how do i unlock leves in different areas !
Talk to the levemete in that area and do their initial quest
i just tried to do costa del sol (30s) he won’t gimmie none
What city did you start in?
uldah
Okay so assuming you aren't just being silly and haven't done the costa del sol unlock quest or it's just already in your journal then your problem is probably that you never actually did the "leves of Horizon" quest in Horizon. You need to do that to get access to all other leves since you started in Ul'dah
What’s the deal with the gold saucer Battlehall? I joined, played some triad, then left. Is that all that it offers? How is it better than playing random npcs around erorzea?
🍡💡
with regards to ShB relic, is there a particular area for Gyr Abania/Far East that are the best places for fate farming?
Quick question about gather retainers, do you need to equip full 490 gear for them to gather efficiently for materials?
do fates that you’ll get synced to 71 for more stats
gatherer retainers only care for gathering
!faq retainerbp
Um, when should i start focusing less on heals and more on dps as a healer? im trying to do an even amount of both but some of the tanks i play with have their health go down too fast for me to do anything but use regen and spam cure
Okay, thanks
if your tanks health is going down super fast ask yourself
- are they cycling their cds properly?
- are they undergeared?
- (in addition to #1) are they pulling too many mobs?
because its likely going to be at least one of those
how long does it take to do sigmascape 4.0 unsync with full party of 510?
thanks cerberus i’ll keep that in mind
or it could just be a punishing dungeon for wall to wall pulls
probably around the same as a full party if you were synced?
it will also depend on your level. early on healers lack oGCD heals and your only tools require you to focus on healing over dps, instead of being able to do both.
do dps until you need to use heals
I dont think i’d be able to communicate to the tank during dungeon, unless we happen to wipe, as typing on ps4 is a bit of a chore, but i’ll keep the advice you guys gave in mind
Well you mentioned cure so if youre on whm, always start with holy spam in trash pulls, 8 seconds of stuns is op
Sounds good, and i can spam it until they gain intolerance to it right?
Just hit tomestone poetics cap; already dropping tomestone gear for i136+ quest gear: is there anything worth getting for in poetics. edit: idk how far I am from Idylshire...
I don't see the Dye option on some of my gear. Is it locked behind some feature or is certain gear simply non-dyeable?
both
You firstly need to have unlocked the dye system, which is done via the quest "Color your world" and there are some items that simply can't be dyed
Most gear has other sets they share models with, which can be dyeable
There's often a dyeable version of gear
garlandtools is a very good resource for finding shared model gear
The Orthodox stuff, IIRC, has dyeable models as the level 64 or 66 crafted gear sets
ye, 64 crafted
Hello. I tried googling this question but surprisingly did not find the correct answer. If I pick one of the starting jobs/classes or whatever, such as archer, are they fully fleshed out proper classes or will I need to spec into one of those jobs that build off it at some point? I want to play an archer and not turn into something else.
you will need to become a bard
jobs really aren't that different from their base class, so not picking up your job when you're able to do its just hindering yourself for no reason
Okay, all base classes transform into something else at some point?
yes, all base classes have a job
Alright, thank you.
jobs are just something that lets you access the rest of your kit, you'll notice that going forward expansion jobs won't have base classes.
and will start at 30+, 50, and 60 (depending on what expansion those jobs were released in)
I think i'm going to swap from tham-something to rogue, I want to be a ninja eventually because it looks neat.

This question might be a bit dumb, but I'm a sprout on free trial and wanted to know if the lvl cap also works for the gathering/crafting jobs. I think it does but I wanted to check nonetheless xd
yes
Ugh 😖
Ty for the help tho ^^
So I'm gonna try to go for the Ocean fishing mount, should I bring a lot of Hi-Cordials?
For more double hooks yes
Also, is there IL 510 gathering food or should I just go with 490
can do crab cakes if you've got the gil/willing to make it but peppered popotos work fine as well
Does daily leveling roulette only give you xp reward once/day? Or can you run them again and get a smaller xp reward?
What is this that ppl say that when u do relic on an alt is easier
But I got the quest on my drk and I have to do everything again
depends on the relic
for stuff like anima once you do it once you can buy the mats in advance
so it makes it faster
i am confused as to what i am doing wrong here
Equip a min pick
you need to equip the main hand given to you in the first quest
you skip the alliance raids grinds on all alt relics
no you only do the alliance raid grind once and then never again for any alt relics you get
For RDM opener, can I ignore Stone and Fire random procs?
you use stone and fire procs in place of jolt
Ok how if u don't mind me asking because I got the quest to collect 20 memories of each again
Right, I mean, at the 5th GCD, if I randomly got a new Fire proc, do I still overwrite it with another thunder on the 7th GCD?
@rose oak its "the resistance remembers" step that you dont need to do again afaik
I feel like if I choose to do Aero instead, everything will get messed up?
which is for the augmented law order step
So, I just want to make sure, if the 5th GCD Thunder produced a randomly generated Fire proc, I ignore the proc and cast Thunder again on 7th GCD right?
What’s the major pros per tank?
@ripe hound no you dont hardcast thunder?
@leaden ginkgo theyre all basically equal
No, I mean, I still dualcast thunder, even if I already have a Fire proc right?
As in, do Stone into Thunder, not Stone into Aero, because if I use Aero I don't have enough mana to Manafication in my opener
im confused what you mean but you shouldnt be overwriting procs
yes, overwrite fire in that case
I think if you end up with not enough mana for manafication, there is something wrong on yer opener
idk what you mean by not having enough mana to manafication
you need to manafic asap
How about you do Fire into Thunder instead of Stone into Thunder?
Acceleration should make your opener 100% consistent
If you don’t have 40/42 or 42/40 mana before pressing Manafication, you did something wrong
i did the math for that opener and you should have 40 white 42 black for that
What are falcon porters for? Can u get a falcon like you would a chocobo?
I've seen someone ride 1
if youre not getting it then youre doing something wrong
They’re just the chocobo porters of the Far East
Acceleration makes the first Thunder, Aero, and Aero procs
There’s no regular falcon bird mount
But the second Thunder you cast, it's not under Acceleration, and there is a chance it will proc a Fire
I saw a guy with 1 but the only difference was that his one was super shiny on the wings@obsidian patio
But after this second thunder you cast stone and thunder
So yeah,
Just overwrite it right?
Since Manafication is WAAAAAY too important
The HW primal mounts are glowy falcons
Yeah, I think once I decided to do a 3-8 Opener I shouldn't change it. If the second Thunder procs a Fire just ignore the Fire and cast the third Thunder
I'm just learning my opener, and felt weird overwriting a proc on purpose lol
How about instead of Thunder you cast an Aero?
let me check
you need the third thunder for 42 black
Oh i see
Yeah, I think you won't have 40 black if you don't use a third thunder
yes, just overwrite it
just stick to 3-8 for most situations
it doesn't matter which colour you start with
In rotation, Manafication and Embolden are 2 unrelated CDs right?
its 40/42 for 3-8
As in, they don't sync
you just overwrite
they're ogcd's
they both do different things
your first and second embolden/manafic will be in sync
you want them used on cd if possible
Cool
embolden on cooldown
manafic only if you have 40+|40+
if you use them directly on cd
unless for some wack reason you have bad mana
If I have like 38|38, Manafic after I reach 40 40 right?
yes
yes
If I have like 60 | 70, and Manafic is now off CD, what do I do?
Manafic now? Or wait a cycle?
wait a cycle
it depends on the fight but typically you'd hold
I see
Depends on situation too... is boss bout to die? Throw it out
If I holded for two cycles I'm doing something horribly wrong right....?
Ues
Yes*
there's a section on the RDM guide in akhmorning that goes into this iirc
lol
the way to mitigate that is to melee combo at 90/90 and then toss a reprise or 2 if you need to balance it for the next manfic
Yeah, I should check out Akhmorning
I feel like as a newb, I often be like "To late to Manafic now, waiting for next cycle" then forget to Manafic again next cycle...
https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/rdm/guide/rotation/#manafication-usage
but read the whole guide, it's good
Cool, thanks! I'll go check it out now!
I want to take the materia out of my weapon - should I extract first since my spiritbond is 100% then retrieve?
Embolden should only be delayed at max around 1 or 2 sec if you are mid cast right?
Should I ever choose to do a Reprise to make sure Embolden is used on CD?
Or does it not matter that much, Embolden can be delayed for a second or two of casting?
in general your goal should be to never use reprise
if possible
if it's delayed a gcd, it's delayed
it's ok
Yeah, I guess using a Reprise isn't worth it in this case
there's a section on reprise there too
kk, I'll read it now
Extract gives a new materia; retrieve can get the old ones back. 2 different things
So might as well extract first
There’s no reason to not extract whenever you can
Enchanted Reprise can also be used as a way of mitigating oGCD drift by forcing a weave window in your next GCD instead of waiting an extra hardcast -> dualcast pair.
I think this part is talking about using Reprise to mitigate Embolden drifting
I never even see any provision missions for company seals. Am I stuck just doing fates for them until whatever class you need for trading in items?
you have to rank up a few times in your gc to unlock gc deli
In order to rank up, you must complete the GC huntlog(some of em)
it is, but still try to avoid ever needing to do that
it can be used that way, but using reprise isn't usually the best idea
This is just a pick-up realignment, it's there for when shit hits the fan...which it shouldnt if you didnt die/were focused on rotation, so yeah, keep it in mind, as something to fall back into, but dont abuse it

yo wtff this butterfinger collab is awesome
is Iridescent hood of maiming part of a gear set?
i get chocolate and a free mount?
you buy $5 worth of butterfingers and get a mount
Cool, make sense, thanks for the advice!
It's part of a "matching" set, but you get no extra bonuses from using the set
I think you stop getting those kind of sets after ARR is done
What is a "matching" set? I got is as reward for a ShB quest
hello, can anyone help me how to stop FFXIV from crashing every time i close the game?
!item iridescent hood of maiming
None

※ Materia Slots: 2
※ Advanced Meldable: Yes
※ Repaired By: Weaver
※ Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: Yes
※ Desynthesis: Yes
※ Desynth Level: An Error occured processing Desynthesis
It’s part of the level 72 crafted armor set
@cursive canopy ask in #technology-discussion with the error you get
Matching visually
can you level all jobs up to max?
Yep
have ShB, all jobs go to 80 except blue mage, which is 70 currently
so i got 100 synths, 300 collectables, 1 lv 80 gatherer 1 lv 80 crafter. once all those are completed, what else do i need to get mentor stats?
The lv 80 extremes should be done unsync right
shouldnt be able to unsync an 80 extreme currently. should unsync any extreme that ISN'T 80
They cannot be done unsynched at this time. Just take the time to learn them and do them synched, you'll gain skills.
I read a comment and said they can be unsynced
Level 80s cannot be unsynched.
I c
They don't have any synching in them--you're already capable of doing them at max gear, so there's no 'synch' to 'un' yet. When the level cap raises, that will change.
Ohh
50-70 can be unsynced, normal, hard, extreme, savage
So I can do it with my i510?
I c
For sure, all ex trials are unlocked. I won't promise it'll be easy, you'll need to learn
even lower than 50 but unless you're dragging someone through MSQ stuff or going for glam, you won't be unsyncing low dungeons
I c
So they're much easier
Echo only activates after a wipe?
Quick question
How many times can I change my race, appearance, and class/Job? + Is it paid?
Well there's no synch... you'd be going in there with ilvl 510 gear, no item level synch at all.
do you have the name of the set or the name of the gear parts? I can't find them searching in google. I like the hood, and wanted to know what are the parts of the set, because glam
one free from completing 2.0 msq and then its paid after
Race and appearance are paid through fantasias.
jobs, you can change infinitely in game.
job changing is infinite
I mean depends on which trial
i think there is sync on previous ShB trials
hair is per time fee
Nope, I just checked.
there's no sync on trials
you can be 530 into them
so you skip a lot of mechanics
Hairstyle, tattoos/face paint and other minor stuff is done for gil ingame.
Ok thanks!
Just go to marketboard and search up the items of the same level
Oh i see, thank u, good to know 
Yeah, you still have to learn the mechanics you see though, but that's fine, that's part of the fun!
Nice!
oh, ok, so all DRG gear lvl 72 are the set?
Pretty much in the marketboard
Major changes like height and facial features and skin colour (anything that would require plastic surgery basically) or race/gender changing requires Fantasia which is real money.
Is i510 okay for ex trials
Or do I wait till I have i530
They should match
You get one free Fantasia from the MSQ at level 50.
Oh god yea, that's enough to do all of them. Extreme Trials are designed to be the door into raiding and such, not gated by it.
Expect to die a lot trying to learn it though
But that's okay, that's not a bad thing.
Nice
The best way to skip mechs is DPSing
Learn your rotation if you havent 
No amount of gear can fix bad rotation
It's okay to die learning extremes (or savage), everyone else will be to.
No issue with rotations
Just too much mechs makes my brain hurt
Guess I'll learn via practice
Go for it
Just kill the mobs on their hunting logs
The way fights are structured... the mechanics have a rhyme and rhythm to them, so you know what to expect when. It's more a dance than reacting to things, so you learn the dance rather than learn to react.
@finite topaz on the hunt board?
thxs, that really helped
Do I queue for ex trials or pf
Ay no worries, glam is my endgame too
PF
I c
