you just do

target yourself and right click and set status

easiest way is to look for a PF or some event going on
just play along
eventually you'll get used to it

how can u get dye?
slate arrow
vendors, marketboard, quick ventures
wintry chasm
kinda depends on the dye
wintry chasm
depends on the kind of black
fringe bone
U got different blacks?
wintry chasm
Ye
fringe bone
i guess the most black i can get?
wintry chasm
Jet-black dye would be only from quick ventures basically
fringe bone
What are quick ventures?
slate arrow
ventures are basically timed things you can send your retainer on to gather items for you
fringe bone
whats a retainer?
slate arrow
people you hire to be your bank, basically
also help you sell stuff on the marketboard
wintry chasm
Can't use them on free trial
open coral
NPC people
fringe bone
im not on free trial
slate arrow
have you joined a grand company yet

find this person in the marketplace of a city

What is the use of fishing, and is it fun? I hear tis the true end game
open coral
Glamour is the true end game though

Ah I see
So the other field skills are more useful than fishing?
Does it not give you any income compared to the others?

you can get mounts, pets, and titles from ocean fishing achievements

that picture isn't very informative
wintry chasm
It's the earrings, it's too full
open coral
It means that one of your armory sections is full
remote lintel
you dont have space to unequip the earrings
wintry chasm
When you're swapping to the lance it's trying to put your fending earring into the armoury chest but the earring section is already 35/35
heavy wadi
oh yeah, get rid of one of your earrings
wintry chasm
so it can't
crystal gyro
It's the earrings, it's too full
ohh you're right thanks! didnt know that effected weapon inventory
wintry chasm

when you swap jobs it unequips everything you're wearing if the job you're switching to can't use it
remote lintel
you need space to unequip ALL of your gear
heavy wadi
so it needs space
fringe bone
so how do i send my retainer on a quick venture?
remote lintel
do the quest "an ill conceived venture" and assign them a job
wintry chasm

fringe bone
Where can i find the quest?
remote lintel
and get ventures from your gc
fringe bone
oh ok
wintry chasm
It'll be somewhere in the city

depends on where your starting city is

i tried farming the node
it yields nothing idk what to do

Is your gear shit?

your gear is too low level for it then

wintry chasm
!faq unsync
Should mention what it actually does in terms of level and gear
leaden ginkgo
i see, so i guess cant really do much sigh
heavy wadi
Do note that in each node there's items of multiple levels
so make sure ur not trying to gather the level 80 one or one too high for you
faint flare
You'll see gathering rates next to the items
If they're low/0 then your gear is shit
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
any
fringe bone
is there not a better one or something like that
heavy wadi
no
raven sage
No. Just make sure it's something you actually have leveled properly
heavy wadi
just that whichever you pick, the retainer can only level as high as you have as that class
raven sage
Since they can't level beyond your own level on a class/job
fringe bone
i picked lancer but im guessing he can only equip lvl 1 lancer stuff?
faint flare
Yes
heavy wadi

remote lintel
they cant surpass your own class level
fringe bone
Aha
leaden ginkgo
guess i buy some gears in vendors back in gridania, level fishing to 20 then try again
seems my best bet rn is
->get basic gear from the vendor
->level them all up to 21 (there are 3-4 more i havent levelled that high)
->gather Diadem level 1 material (?), idk where though time to google which nodes has which i suppose
remote lintel
so if you have a lvl 15 lancer then your retainers max level is 15

Did you have the skill activated to see the nodes?
And do you have done your class quests for the gatherer?
leaden ginkgo
i did my class quest but i dont think i activated my class skill kek
time to pay attention better

Item Level 25 should be enough for Level 30 items.
Usually the node find skill auto activates when you change to the gatherer.

Idk if I can ask this here but anyone here bought the key for game from sites like Eneba/Kinguin?
rugged flicker
I was just doing the leve 76 healer instance, the Echo fight, and all of a sudden Ardbert just dies.

TL;DR: Key reseller sites, buy at your own risk.

I know I'm just curious if even with that I receive those 30 days for free. I mean it's 20 bucks cheaper on Kinguin

Probably going to redo the first fight now too.

If the key ever gets disputed for payment by whoever bought the key originally, that's an easy ban for the account

Don't do it. You get a permaban from the game if the key is bought with a stolen credit card and the payment is revoked.
And it can be illigal in your country too, so too risky.

"Heal me as much as you can" can't really be interpreted in other ways.

So is it better to get the resistance relic weapon at 505 than the enarchix wep at 510 due to the stats bonus ( for tanks)
until you can get the 4 sword fragments from the raids
faint flare
515 is better than Un augmented exarchic
Augmented Exarchic can be slightly better than 515 relic
Naturally Diamond Ex beats both
rich bay
And that time I don't know what I did wrong... One hit, insta kill.
Just keep trying, otherwise look for a guide or a let's play on the web.
open coral
Or give us enough information and ask a question.
And maybe we can help you figure out what you're missin.g
rich bay
So is it better to get the resistance relic weapon at 505 than the enarchix wep ...
Current relic item level is i515, when 5.55 is released (99% sure that it will be May 25th) the relic becomes the Ultimate ShB weapon.
light monolith
@faint flare ye but i mean, the exarchic wep for tanks gives tenacity
@rich bay Ah I see.
remote lintel
tenacity is fine with the high ilvl
remote lintel
then get the relic
faint flare
Weapon damage
light monolith
i'm talking just about the tank weapon
faint flare
Which has weapon damage
remote lintel
515 > 510
open coral
On weapons, no matter what role you are, weapon damage is most important.
remote lintel
then get augmented exarchic
light monolith
for real
remote lintel
520 > 515
faint flare
If your relic is only 505 atm then augmented exarchic is better
light monolith
does it scale that high?
remote lintel
higher ilvl means more weapon dmg
open coral
+3 weapon damage is a LOT
light monolith
😮
faint flare
+1 it's better 99% of the time
light monolith
what a weird calculation
faint flare
+2 and onwards is no augment
faint flare
Your stats don't mean shit if your weapon has no damage
light monolith
alrighty arigatoo
buoyant sorrel
Is the Aesthete's Crafting gear still relevant or is the Habdsaint gear better
light monolith
i thought more crit
faint flare
It also brings more main stat Increase
light monolith

remote lintel
weapon dmg gives more dmg than crit
open coral
Secondary stats are secondary.
faint flare
Substats increase your dps by sub 1%
light monolith
ok fking yikers
open coral
Weapon damage is the first number that all of your potency calculations hit.
faint flare
Weapon damage makes a NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE
remote lintel
its literally a straight up dmg increase instead of a chance of dmg increase like with crit
faint flare
Is the Aesthete's Crafting gear still relevant or is the Habdsaint gear better
Scrip gear is shit, it's always a stepping stone to help you make crafted gear
Weapon damage increases your dps by a few percent...Main stat increases increase your dps by 1% or so...substats increase it by sub 1%/barely noticeable
So
Yeah
rich bay
For DPS weapon damage is always the most important stat yes, but for tanks and mostly healers main and sub stats can be more important.
open coral
Even for tanks and healers, weapon damage is more important.
faint flare
You compare substats with gear within 10 ilvls
No more
Too much weapon damage and main stat increases
open coral
Weapon damage affects all potency calculations, including healing calculations.

Oh, no. There's no such title or achievement in this game.

just something like. get to level 20 without dying or something

There's tons of cool titles, nothing for getting to any point without dying though.
That's not an achievement.
That's not even hard

kk. i just remember those from lotro and i was hoping they were not a thing in this cause i died trying to fight something hard lmao

There are no hidden titles or achievements.
Also, it is impossible to "miss" anything other than seasonal events and possibly some of the special crossover events, if you're not around when they're current... and the rewards for the seasonal ones end up on the Mogstation cash store after 12 months.

Hi, slightly odd question. I needed SE support's help to get back into my account. When I filed a ticket, I never received any confirmation email that they got it (like I got in the past). Is this normal now, or is something wrong?
I just worry since it was a day or two ago I submitted the ticket on the support page.
earnest gust
Heyo everyone, I'm really new to the game and I don't know what class to pick - I enjoy (Healing) Support and DPS roles as long as it isn't just pressing buttons in a sequence for minutes on end. I also like classes that require a decent bit of skill to use - Anyone have any recommendations?
teal bone
if you like being busy, doing lots of damage but having to pay attention, and a decent amount of difficulty, play scholar
remote lintel
scholar
teal bone
arcanist is the starting job for that
remote lintel
scholar is generally known as the most difficult healer especially in low levels
since youre missing a lot of your kit
and its more proactive healiing instead of reactive
teal bone
be warned, scholar specializes in shields, meaning the purpose of the class is to prevent damage from taking place, aka you have to know what a fight has in store before hand so you can stop certain things from hurting your team
finite topaz
SCH at lower levels is let the fairy do the healing
teal bone
scholar requires a lot of fight knowledge
remote lintel
you dont need to know the fight beforehand
finite topaz
at higher levels, Aetherflow does the healing, and you spam Art of War
remote lintel
you just need to know your kit
earnest gust
That actually sounds really interesting
Scholar it is then :D
I love being helpful to my team
remote lintel
honestly the opinion that you need to know a fight beforehand is misleading
just get good at your class
earnest gust
Anything I should know before doing arcanist/scholar?
remote lintel
arcanist starts as a dps
teal bone
your 
icon will automatically give you forgiveness from your party if you fuck up by the way, everyone knows sprouts aren't at fault for messing up because newbies will be newbies
remote lintel
but youll be scholar at 30

Do not spam healing
nobody needs to be at 100% HP at all times
and Always Be Casting

Got it
teal bone
if your tank is above 80% hp, you are most likely ok to do damage
finite topaz
that's all you gotta know, if nobody needs healing, start DPSing

Do Hall of the Novice whenever you can
it gives you gear that holds good until like lvl 25
teal bone
the Smith with the above his head at around (i think) level 15 will start giving you good gear
it'll last you till you get your job upgrade
teal bone
they are on the account of you know how to use them
a GOOD scholar cannot be replaced
all classes are viable though
remote lintel
yes
earnest gust
So they're widely used?
teal bone
no
because small brain people play this game
it's rare you come across a truly gifted scholar i'll be real
but if you meet one, be glad, cause they will absolutely hold your hand and feed you grilled cheese while you take down bosses
earnest gust
I'll have to really work at it though

earnest gust
I don't mind about the meta
finite topaz
The most popular healer between Astrologian, White Mage and Scholar is White Mage
earnest gust
I just find it fun to play a less-used class
finite topaz
followed by Astrologian
earnest gust
so scholar sounds fun to me
finite topaz
But White Mage is like 200% more popular than Astrologian
teal bone
meta really only matters at the absolute peak performance regarding world's best players, and even then it's miniscule
finite topaz
White Mage is just popular because it's braindead

Tank queues for MSQ tend to be a little longer.

yes lance
atomic arch
im new to the game so im not sure
unkempt heath
Since you need fewer.

healers basically have instant queues because nobody wants to play them
unkempt heath
It's the reverse of dungeons, honestly.

probably because of the time

What is "Next Map Allowance" in the Timers window?
teal bone
@earnest gust one last thing: it is universally recognized that level 1-50, the base game of A Realm Reborn, is a bit of a slog and is not representative of the current jobs; as they grow past 60, they become much more fluid and natural to use and feel much more engaging and fun, so if you can put up with the slow pace of the base game, you'll learn to like the classes more
earnest gust
So I'll def need to subscribe to FF then
remote lintel
honestly just play the game blind
teal bone
no no
boreal storm
What is "Next Map Allowance" in the Timers window?
Time until you can gather another map
teal bone
get to 60 on free trial first
remote lintel
i didnt think it was a slog when i played
teal bone
don't pay for a subscription till you get to 60 and have gotten a taste
earnest gust
kk
teal bone
if you still aren't sure, try other classes
while we like new players, we can't advocate spending your money on something you don't enjoy
earnest gust
How long would you say it'll take me to get to that level?
modest igloo
if you don't like the game, you are more than free to leave. it's not for everyone
teal bone
it depends on how often you play
remote lintel
depends how long it takes you to do the story
you level with the story
but in general theres about 40ish hours of story in that time maybe?
earnest gust
it depends on how often you play
I mean a rough estimate in hours
40 hours
still a bit of an ouch
teal bone
assuming you play, idk maybe 5 or 6, hours a day, it should take you about a week or 2 to get to 60
that's assuming you are learning how movement works still in addition to not being familiar with area layouts
earnest gust
I used to play FF, but only a few hours of the monk prerequisite that I forgot the name of
teal bone
pugilist
monk takes till around level 50 before you get your core rotation
and personally, i think that it doesn't get fun till mid 60s when you have stuff to do inbetween your basic 2 rotations
earnest gust
I'll take your word for it
thank you again for the help
I can't wait to see what Scholar can do
teal bone
different jobs have different leveling experiences and end game experiences
teal bone
scholar is, assuming you can keep up with what you're supposed to be doing, one of the more fluid classes to work with
dragoon is a class that doesn't have a lot of synergism in its kit until later levels, but becomes monstrous
remote lintel
pay attention to the story
teal bone
find all the aetherite crystals as you progress, and don't pay attention to teleportation costs
pallid bluff
so teleport freely
remote lintel
yes
teal bone
yes, just try and do it as little as possible to save you money over time
that means paying attention to your quests and story
so you don' unecesarily backtrack
pallid bluff
alright

personal advice: the number one thing is to do your job quests

Cool, uhh, does the SSAO setting not gel with the game? A friend told me to just stick to MXAO

most of them look fine to me but some of them might fuck with stuff in the bg if you have depth of field on
ripe hound
Also how does Gshade work? Does it make stuff look better even if you don't play with Gpose?
remote lintel
its a shader mod
it adds filters/shaders/bloom/whatever else you want
and yes it works outside of gpose
ripe hound
Shaders are like...
Stupid question, but is Ray Tracing basically like a very special Shader?

idk exactly how ray tracing works but yeah in that vein

The only thing I knew about shader was fromt minecraft lol. And I remember in Minecraft Shaders looks quite like what RTX minecraft looks like

It is not unlike photoshop

I feel like FFxiv's most successful art / graphics part is how the lighting effects look.
And the worst is the 12 pixels that makes up the Crystal Exarch's hand lol
remote lintel
well the game released in 2010 and hasnt updated their engine since
ripe hound
True
I think the engine just can't handle characters having more detail... like at all
warped nest
Over the years, they manage to find new tricks to do more elaborate visuals
But it is still an old engine
ripe hound
Yeah, so there are quite a lot of really impressive lighting effects

what are the pros and cons of dragoon? in the most objective way
remote lintel
cons are that the jump attacks have longer animation lock
little swift
its a melee with a very strict and straightforward rotation
fast talon
what are the pros and cons of dragoon? in the most objective way
Slightly subjective, but I think dragoon has the easiest rotation for any melee dps
remote lintel
pros are that its like any other dps
little swift
has a lot of flashy jumps and dives as skills
fast talon
its by far the most straightforward one
remote lintel
and the combos are smooth
little swift
jumps are heavier on animation lock so that might take some time to get used to
fast talon
cons, your aoe sucks
little swift
thats untrue
remote lintel
you get them late but they dont suck
fast talon
so thats subjective
little swift
the line is fat enough
fast talon
fair
little swift
you also get so weaves like nastrond and geirskogul and stardiver
remote lintel
you have circle aoes with the fire jump and stardiver
fiery pagoda
is competitive pvp a thing in this game?
shrewd owl
Life surge coerthan 
remote lintel
yes there is ranked pvp
fast talon
anyway, i guess if we're going for a real con it would be they have some of the biggest animation locks with their flashier attacks
fiery pagoda
how is dragoon for ranked pvp?
remote lintel
its fine
little swift
this is less a dragoon con and more a melee con, but you get aoe quite late in comparison to casters and phys ranged
vernal urchin
pvp exists but the majority of the playerbase does not play pvp
remote lintel
but its a bit late to get into ranked this season
little swift
dragoon is quite strong in pvp though
fast talon
the only active pvp is not ranked/competitive
little swift
all the melees are quite good
fast talon
people just kinda do it for xp/achievements
remote lintel
the only active pvp is not ranked/competitive
thats not true
fiery pagoda
i see i see
remote lintel
higher tiers in ranked are still active
twilit arch
ranked pvp is active, at the start of a season
remote lintel
and lower tiers are active at the start
twilit arch
it dies out at the end because people dont have a reason to play later in the season
little swift
its still popping if you're past 1k rating tbh
fast talon
i guess it would be region dependent
twilit arch
pretty much same with pve in general tbh
savage starts to dwindle the later into a tier
fast talon
anyway, just came to ask a quick question, only been playing this past year, are we likely to get a job video for endwalker in the fanfest this may
or is it more likely to be just a story trailer
remote lintel
probably
fast talon
sweet
vernal urchin
when's fanfest start again?
fast talon
may 15 i think
remote lintel
may 14-15
vernal urchin
cool
fiery pagoda
idk if you guys played WoW but in terms of pve and pvp, my assumption is that this game is easier for both, is that right? somewhat?
twilit arch
ehhhhhhhhh
remote lintel
ranked pvp isnt popular in this game
like i said youre unlikely to get queues at lower tiers this late in the season
twilit arch
i mean, depends on how you're defining "easier"
because there's no real good 1:1 comparison for savage to wow raids
there are plenty of savage fights that are similar or on par with some mythic fights
with ultimates being their own cateogry
remote lintel
but i would say it is pretty easy to climb up to plat
since you gain more than you lose
little swift
its hard to compare because the style of pve is not the same
fights in this game are scripted so its mroe like learning a dance and applying your rotation to it well
twilit arch
they are their own song and dance
little swift
whereas in wow its sheer numbers of variable mechanics
and lots of people to react to them individually
undone copper
speaking of numbers, grade 3 infusion of strength or supramax-potion of strength
remote lintel
it is possible for an average non raider to clear savage raids because fights are so scripted
and you just memorize them
little swift
if you're planning to use those
modest igloo
speaking of numbers, grade 3 infusion of strength or supramax-potion of strength

little swift
neither

yeah what channy said

didnt even see grade 4 thx

grade 4 tinctures are the current best ones

twilit arch
there's nothing wrong with shouting your pf
little swift
Llauqs thats just untrue
twilit arch
people do it for hunts plenty fine
honest anvil
really? I got frenly warned in-game by some
twilit arch
dumb people are dumb, there is nothing in the rules that say you can't shout your pf
and if they do report you, it doesnt mean you'll get in trouble
honest anvil
They said if all people shout pf frequently things can get spammy so dont... which i think is true enough so havent shout any pf since
desert kettle
So I just came back to the game since 2017 and things seem very new. I’m noticing I’m unlocking maurader skills when I level that I used to have to go to the guild to get?
twilit arch
spamming shout pf =/= shouting your pf
there's a very big difference between constantly shouting your pf, and shouting it once or twice
you still have to do your class quests, not everything is given to you via leveling @desert kettle
little swift
A lot has changed, skills aren't cross class anymore just do class quests as you unlock them to get your relevant skills
There are role actions as well
Which are actions all jobs of the same role have
desert kettle
Ah ok, ya I’m on the one for lower la Noscs so I’m doing the story until it takes me there.

Heya! I'm at the very beginning but I did pass level 15 which I think is the level after which that glamour quest becomes available, but I'm having a hard time understanding where exactly it is available since I haven't seen western thanalan mentioned in the game even once, I've just seen it on a wiki about the quest. So I was wondering is it worth it to actually seek it out? I'm somewhere between 15 and 20 in levels and I read that the enemies in some area you apparently have to pass through to get there are level 40ish?

you will be taken there in MSQ
