that's the weird part, I ran 21-30 twice and didn't get any xp from it for some reason
hey, the next relic weapon step is the last one ? Or there will be another one ?
there's another one in 5.55
like how many steps left 😄 ?
One to two. Depends on how many steps they add in 5.55
I see, thanks
But probably current laws order > non glowing 5.55 > glowing 5.55
oh wait, ignore. it's just me going absolutely insane
I got some xp, indeed
thats what I think too
Yeah but, normaly it isn't a "preferred" but i'm french. So is it better for a new player to go to a preferred server, or just chose Moogle because there is a huge community of french players ? I don't know if it's a chill server or not. But i can speak english too
Moogle would probably be better if you want to play with more French speakers, if you don't care then preferred is probably better
Ok, thx
My computer's clock has desynced from the in-game "local time" clock. It's about two minutes off, fairly consistently, starting in the last week. Is this a server issue, something on my end, or just the game being weird?
That's probably your pc clock
Does Briarden have a different reaction to the WoL during scholasticite if one hasnt done ARR hildibrand?
Local time is server time adjusted for your timezone
Okay. I'll see how to get this computer to properly sync to the broader internet - it's new, so I'm still working out some of the quirks. Thanks!
Anyone have issues downloading game from steam? I bought it yesterday (already playing trial) and steam just refuses to start the download. Its specific to ffxiv....
can't do scholasticate without having done ARR hildi so
How do i complete squadron mission Sapper Strike? All 4 of my squadron members are level 60 but i keep failing
As I told you
Ah i see
You need all 3 stat met
You need to hit all 3 stat checks
If you don't meet all 3 it's a guaranteed fail
Also do the training thing
Did you buy the game from steam, or from mog?
ahhhh
u didnt tag me and the chat is cluttered sry
What does it mean to be an omnicrafter? I keep seeing that tossed around but I just started a week ago and don't know what that is ;^;
Having all crafters levelled and preferably geared
what can hroth change in aethestician?
Tattoos
Bought it on steam lewd.E.colo
Thank you!

ooh okay
how is the endgame in this game?
Pretty good
Although it depends on what you're looking for
But we get content updates every 1-2 ish months
Not counting shit shows like 2020
Hi guys how can I get my first mount? I just got to level 20
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
leveling takes pretty long, so im not sure if it will be worth the endgame
Everything is locked behind main story
So levelling will depend on where you are there
working towards endgame is meant to be most of the fun
i am at the 2nd expansion
If you're progressing through patch content you'll be getting very low exp until the next expansion
well the leveling was mostly like 80 quests where i just had to talk to everyone
that might mostly be ARR lol
ARR will do that to a man
i just have arrived at the new zone
im looking for a new class too, is the ninja a fun class?
Hello everyone,
I am kinda new to this game, been playing for 10-15 days or so, bought a subscription (1 month of game time). Playing as a Conjurer.
I reached 30lvl and completed quest to become a White Mage, and still I have some questions regarding raids and activities with other human (and non-human 🐱) players.
- How tough are raids, and how intense is pvp here? Can I be useful as a healer?
- How is PVP in this game in general?
- When (at what lvl) should I start looking for raids and at the dungeons for a >4 player party?
- How is the Deep Dungeon content? I kinda like that concept, but is it fun for a healing class?
Thanks in advance, and, uh, sorry for 4 questions at once lol
Raids and pve is the main content of the game
Pvp is less than secondary, tertiary at best
People do it but it's not very pooular
Party finding for high end raids only really happens at endgame
Deep dungeon is good fun if you are the type of person for it BUT. and a huge BUT. you can get burnt out of it if you do it too much
With the exception of arr cuz it's arr all the raids have a normal and savage version. Normal can be done easily enough through duty finder
Savage is the difficult endgame content of each expansion and you'd need a premade party to do it
oh, I guess I'll have to lvl up a lot, then find a friends and then do PvE
Thank you ❤️ :
The story is the main attraction of ff14
It's a single player jrpg first, mmo second
Idk about wow but your gear does become obsolete once a new expansion drops as the expansions raise the level cap by 10 levels
yes, it's essentially the same. gear becomes outclassed in newer content
that's just how gear advancement works. in like. any game, iirc.
During patch content we get new endgame gear with every raid tier, 3 raid tiers per expansion
For old expansions you can buy pretty much the best gear of that expansion with poetics tomes once you finish the base expansion story
This would be the augmented ironworks gear at level 50 and the augmented shire gear in hw at level 60
At the moment, we're in the catch up patch.
It's incredibly easy to get up to item level 520, but 530 still requires a time sink for the currency gear, and the raids which drop 530 gear are still weekly locked.
530 gear is the best gear of this expansion and will be very good up until around level 84/85 in the next expansion
Hi! Is this a good place to ask about housing items, specifically outdoor furniture placement methods?
alright, thank you
This is a general questions/help channel so we can try no guarantees. Idk if this server has a more focused housing channel
I'm looking for a method to raise outdoor items above the ground... I'm thinking eastern tea bench on an oriental wooden deck
i noticed that you can do emotes while swimming and underwater........ where is swimming possible??
without doing savage content, is ilvl 520 the best i can get? is this from the latest raid and revelations exchange?
mostly stormblood/shadowbringers zones
but the housing districts have swimming areas (but not diving) and can also swim in eastern la noscea
ooh
You can get up to full 530 with the coins from the last nier raid and nuts
to augment your cryptlurker stuff
can get 530 without doing savage by exchanging the 24man nier tokens (1 from each raid) for the augment items or buy them with nuts (hunt currency)
Currently though can't buy the weapon augment item, but it will be added later
yes, post ARR doesn't give much exp because its not intended to level you
heavensward is intended to be started at lvl 50
though you will likely be higher, especially if you're on a preferred server
i know i'm nearly double the msq intended levels
what is a preferred server?
A server that has an xp boost for newly created characters up to lvl 70
It's basically an incentive to populate it
what server might that be?
depends, there are multiple currently
going with your role though, I don't think there's a preferred server on Light currently
oh ok
oh i am zodiark
You should have a Road to 70 buff.
whats iirc?
What's the command to put target marker 1? https://i.imgur.com/UvAkIa8.png
short for "if I recall"
...correctly
Then you don't have the buff.
i should tho shouldnt i ?
Yea you don't have the road to 70 buff
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And if you should have it depends on when you created your character
it's 90 days or up to lvl 70
either or, though it comes back online if you switch jobs
Oh yeah then i def dont have it
90 days after character creation and after the server is no longer preferred
This char is from november
the xp boost is not really needed though
Hmm. I had Road to 70 longer than 90 days too, before I transferred servers.
In fact with the boost most people start to level alt jobs because the story overlevels them so much
How do I get the sable death mask
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/9713a7ead50/ with respect, that wasn't very difficult
allied beast tribe quests, so requires the ARR beast tribes maxing
yes, they do
iirc. yes
Major rip
will i only be able to unlock alexander Savage if i finish all 12 normal?
or am i missing a quest of some sort
because all i got since i started it was just to run the raids 1 by 1 till the 12th
its a
that becomes available after each set of 4
How do I disable the sound of "Not ready yet" when spamming an ability in combat?
/actionerror off
ty!
I'm confused, where do i unlock them? I'm already at soul of the creator and even Alexander 1 doesn't have savage yert
at the minstrel in mor dhona

Anyone leveling a char from 50-60?
i cant seem to beat A Requiem for Heroes
because blm cant self heal
and i have to dodge everyyattack or i die
whats your itemlevel
Get scaevan in Rhalgars / kugane for i400
Especially weapon
And kill things faster
wut
i have to keep dodging the guts attacks which keep disrupting my casting
Use swift and triple
its a timed for the swords
To dps while moving
you have triplecast right
also, surecast prevents your casts from being interrupted by attacks for a couple of seconds
dosent prevent me from being murdered by the attacks themselves though
Hold procs as long as possible, use swift and triplecast, use Sharpcast for more procs
remember blm cant self heal without items
you don’t need to self heal
Also I think one of the Npcs does a healing aoe
the duty is doable with every job
ill upgrade my gear than try once more
Hell I think I completed it at similar items level as black mage when I returned
are you using sharpcast before using thunder 3?
can u buy all the crafted gear? Because im not into crafting
Just don't be fucking bad and use your tools to dps on the move
that’s also another movement option
is there a property tax on housing?
No
ok
a practice version of this battle would be nice
It'd called Very easy mode
there is no very easy mode on this
When you fail the duty enough times you get the option to lower it
every solo duty has one
it makes me feel like a failure to lower the difficulty to beat him
i can do it i just need to better the toration i guess
rotation*
is main scenario roulette always just prae and caestrum?
Yes
yes
What is the setting again, when you look away from the opponent, that you can still attack?
how do i unlock memoria misera?
then you unlock the ex later
System -> Character Configuration -> Automatically face target?
5 second surecast...enough for 1 spell
Surecast is primarily anti knockback
is there a name for it? im on the last step of resistance weapon
Last step, like on the Dr step?
yeah
then talk to the dramaturge to unlock memoria ex
Then you already did the solo
cos you're way past the point required to unlock it
So just go unlock it in gangos
It's not In high end
its no longer high end
It's not current
Saw someone with a wolf mount with like.. red things around it, what was that?
Lakshami extreme mount
i thought lakshami was pink
@limber parcel despite it not being red, lakshami is the easiest dungeon to run: 4, 510 520 dps can do it in 3 minutes
Nice thank you 🙂 I've still got a while to go, but i'll bare in mind! I want that mount 😄
tsuky is also easy, but you just need at least one healer out of 4 people
lakshmi mount is gonna be available from the next moggle event, during fanfest
What's a moggle event?
Thank you 🙂
limited time event where you farm a limited time currency to trade with items
the items are usually old mounts/minions/etc but you farm them with much easier content than what they normally drop from
Do i need to be a certain level to take part?
min lvl 30 provided not on trial, otherwise 50
High enough to do the duties listed
Okay cool, my highest is 60 at the moment, i'm trying to get all the classes to 50 before i progress
as I'm outleveling the MSQ in heavensward mega fast, so i was gonna swap between the classes to keep the exp from the quests relevant
no
get one class to 80, then go back
you're stopping yourself from unlocking a whole lot of content otherwise
It's....fine to swap when you want
just make sure you don't neglect your gear if you do though
Well i got both WHM and SCH to 60, and my heavensward MSQ is only 52
Got a friend playing on free trial, and we were wondering, is there a way for us to communicate ingame without having to form a party? I mean we do use discord aswell, but at times it would be easier to communicate ingame.
how long have you been playing
Me?
yes
About 3 weeks
can make a linkshell and invite them to it @leaden ginkgo
Is the striking tree like... really unpopular or something? Ive been in queue for 25 minutes and it foudn noone lol
whats that
hard or extreme
if you're playing DPS you gotta wait
Oh! Didn't even know about those :o will look into that. Thanks! ^^
it needs to find 2 tanks, 3 dps, and 2 healers
namely, people don't play healer often in roulettes so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah i figured but 25 minutes seems pretty crazy, most others were much more instantaneous lol.
oh well im palying my switch while waiting
¯_(ツ)_/¯
im playing 7 for the first time 👀
heresy
Yeah i have that on too so i hear the ding
also to anyone unlocking savages; you can use duty finder for all normal version of the duties, but you really have to use party finder for the savage fight
yes, it is not possible to queue for savage
does DF not let you?

It does but it never pops
Quick question
I made an alt yesterday on another data center, got it to lvl 6, but i wanna remake him today cause I wanna change something in his appearance
if i remake it now, will i be able to remake with the same name
or is it saved for a set period?
what do you want to change
should be able to remake with the same name
just his height
ah
yeah i didnt realize how small he would be
compared to some other characters
dont need a giant
but i wanted something reasonably respectable in height
lmao
thanks!
6 foot hyuran gf
what are all of the chat options (eg shout yell tell say) and what do they do
say sends your message to everyone in the general vicinity around you, yell is a bit larger range than say, shout is to the entire zone
tell is a private message to a person
fc would be free company chat, a is alliance chat, p is party chat, ls is linkshell chat
alliance? linkshell?
alliance are 24man raids, linkshells are private chat channels
how big is range of say/yell?
if we're using Limsa, say is about the radius from the crystal to the outer edge
yell goes almost all the way to the hawker's alley aetheryte
okay not that large but
a decent range
i've only seen yell using in castrum
what is the difference between all of the glamour plus colors
What the item is currently dyed as
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
is there a glamour faq about that?
no
what are the easiest exrteme stormblood trials to solo as a dps (SAM)? i wanna farm for those wolf mounts but dont have a tank anywhwere near the right level
None
Only warrior and blue mage has solved any stormblood trials
And the one they have is Lakshami, the easiest stormblood trial
ah i see okay thanks
Things ins SB might get easier once EW is here. Or it might not, depending on how the stat squish affects things
Susanoo will be permanently unsoloable due to sword
true
i see, so i guess an undersized part with 3-4 would be ideal rights?
or would it be rough even then
Inb4 we get some crazy final sting unsync strat for blu like with nael
lmao...
whats the most on demand mats currently on the MB?
or rather what sells well from allegory tomestoen crafting mats
Depends on your server
allegory mats fluctuate a lot
Is spirit extract a good tome sink?
bc some crafters will buy up like 15 listings at once
how to get myself to stop emoting during gpose?
/sit first
and how to hide chat ui during gpose?
right click + hide
ok thanks
Submitted my Butterfinger receipt on the 6th, still no code for mount. Anyone else have to wait this long?

Anyone know how long the Whale Mount will be available to buy for? Like is there an end date to the sale
so far they have never removed an item from mogstation
I mean I doubt items from this fanfest will be on mogstation, look how long it took for the last fanfest rewards to appear
is there anything particulary good about the whale mount?
8 person mount
and a callback to FF4 I believe
It's FFXIV's first 8 person Mount ever
😮 how much?
No idea yet
i hope its around 20 bucks ish beause a friend of mine is considering playing ff14 and i want to be able to cart him around
i mean the fanfest stuff were available for purchase after the first fanfest started last year
definitely not 20$
considering the chocobo carriage is 36$ and sds fenrir is 30$
soo most likely going to be more expensive than the carriage since the carriage is a 4 seater
you mean 8 seater
chocobo carriage is 4
I know that, the way it was worded made it sound like you were saying the whale mount was a 4 seater XD
When u hit lvl 80 botanist is there still content to do that’s engaging? Or do most ppl hit 80 and stop?
gathering collectables, and materials for level 80 crafts
i would assume
do u make a good profit on that?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
its decent gil
but like with anything thats mb related, you have to do your own research
and see what sells well on your server
you can collect HQ mats for coffee biscuits easier, which is guaranteed profit
18k per HQ trade
ooh nice ty
was just wondering on activities after lvl 80 that’s not combat related good to know
is there like a hiscores for exp?
there was the ishgardian restoration rankings
that happened for the first like 10 days of a new phase
was sort of like a race to get the most points within the ranking period
how does fc gc standing work
Guys if I eventually want to play a red mage, what character I need to make now?
I only have the trial version, going to buy the base game in 2 days
Is it the Conjurer?
it doesnt matter
Red mage doesn't have a Base class
also
you need to buy shadowbringers to play red mage
since its a SB class
base game only includes ARR and HW content
All expansion classes do not have base classes. This is for
- AST, MCH, DRK, RDM, SAM, GNB, DNC
Any class obtained in ARR has a base class
Or, classes that simply start from v1
Also Red Mage requires lv50 in another class
So even if you bought the game you wouldn't have immediate access to it
I see thanks for the info guys

Hello
Im coming back from a long break and looking for a LS for ragnarock EU for hunts
is there a way to find one?
Might find this helpful
https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv
centurio hunts are usually late (you have ~10-20 seconds before the S rank is dead, on average), my recommendation is go to the location where centurio finds an S-rank then shout to ask for an invite to a hunt linkshell
Is there any point doing savage DR except the mount ?
nope
oh ok, is that easy content for a savage ? Or is it a real savage with hard mechanics?
5 clears for a title
building your haste gear to go fast
It's mechanics are on the extreme tier
oh really
It's the limited raises and needing coordination of lost actions
That make it hard
You CANT MESS UP
its a hard content since coordinating a bunch of people is pita.
Yeah, it's not too bad. Admittedly I've only done it twice
5.55 (aka the next update) is the last one before Endwalker, right?
Last content update
Last MSQ right?
There will be small patches for loot locks
oh ok, im a casual player, I dont grind hardcore last content like savage raids or last extreme fight, so DR savage is not for me I guess, + I need to find a group if I want to do it lol
the gear it provides is useless outside of Bozja anyway
well... aside from being dyable
glamour, the true endgame end all
yeah but im a mount collector lol
I must have the big dog mount that I will never use or my gaming experience will be bad
The MSQ is really 250h of playing (like when you do it fast) or you can go faster (and ofc still read dialogues)
250h sounds a lot
250 hours is a conservative estimate.
It's basically 4 60-hour games to play through, not including queue times, optional instances, and other side content.
So I have a couple of newbie questions that have me slightly stumped.
- I just wanted to confirm that blue mages can do raids as long as its a premade group with friends.
- Is there any value that blue mage offers to a party even though its level cap is lower?
- Is there a source for all of the games calculations (IE how much of an increase a point of intelligence has for overall damage)
- Ive been looking at a lot of the jobs and they look like there isn’t much ways of customizing a play style. Like every ninja will play about the same as every other. Is that cursory glance correct or is there something im missing.
Yes
Insane burst damage and instant kills to what can be instanted. Also can be everything
Every job is the same
!faq stats
For stat forumlas
thankies 
Is this still accurate for sch?
Blue Mages are overpowered by design, essentially
Yes
Tapsey! Huggos!
Ok thx
However you won't be able to clear current endgame content with BLU
that's the reason for the lower lvl cap
It's not supposed to be an actual contender for current content, just fun for side stuff
Ahh okies. I was curious how much of a difference of those ten levels made
so how does new game plus works?
When synced down to 70, Blue burst is unparalleled but it's sustain dps isn't good
NG+ is basically just a way to replay old content but without the rewards.
You temporarily revert your story progress back and yoy can pause it any time
ok, so how do I unlock it?
Vesper bay
Those 10 levels make a huge difference because of how stat scaling works. Your worth falls off pretty quick once you hit Shadowbringers stuff
That makes sense. I am kinda interested in them for more rp stuff where i could use specific abilities as a way to create my own pseudo jobs ^^
BLU has a way to make themselves "mimic" a role and empower spells related to that role
Sure, BLU's still tons of fun and offers more customization as compared to the other jobs
As in... any customization.
another question, since I do remember that you could replay some of the job quests, at what level are they? like all of them?
All the other jobs have a right way and a ton of wrong ways to play them
is Rested EXP universal or is there a pool for each class separately?
Universal
Yeah the spell list was a lot of fun to look through
thx
You unlock NG+ for job quests at each expansion threshold I think, so you can replay them in chapters
In NG+ you can replay all of the job quests you've completed.
And while the other jobs looked fun I will not lie that they looked kinda rigid
^
Ok thanks for the info :3
That's because they are. Each job has a "correct" way of playing them. On the bright side we do have a ton of jobs by now
2 more in a few months
Ahhh thats good
Just a bit too used to rpgs with tons of customization like the bravely series
Even blue has a "correct" way to play when you're doing raids with them
Mmos always have an illusion of choice
Yeah its why I usually haven’t been that interested in them but this one looked fun and especially look forward to late game because of playing dress up with glamour
I mean, there definitely is customization. You can pick any job you like on just one character and really get into that, it's not like there is a job that would not be worth the time, thankfully.
All of them are totally viable and good in their own right
Ah yes glamour... the true endgame
Kinda have already spent way too long in a basic outdated model viewer experimenting with different outfits ^^
if you want to look at fashion ppl are making I'd definitely suggest browsing https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/
LOL see my gf wanted me to make a cat boi and I was like "ehhh fine" cause I wanted a char to match her Au Ra and not her lala...not about them lalas :p
is there any chance there will be higher levels in bozja ? just want to know if its safe to lose bozja xp while im already lvl 15
wait until she find out about ao dai then realize you have to drop 850k for a dress
We're getting more ranks in Bozja in 5.55
10 new ranks in 5.55.
It will go up to rank 25 in 5.55
5.55 will bring the level to rank 25, but there's no real issue if you lose mettle because it's easily gained back
and you can't drop rank
ok thanks
Oh other important question. Right now Im a level ten summoner and kinda feel like Im not doing anything atm. DoTs tickle enemies, ruin barely does anything right now with how long it takes to cast and feel like Im missing something
Nope, that's normal
Is there a powerspike where all of the spells start to click?
You should be using your pet command too.
you'll gain a lot more as you get higher level
That's your big damage that early.
smn is one of the more complex/busy classes
where you get the big boy summon
^^
Ah which of them? I sadly only have the emerald one right now it deals about as much damage as the dots
technically a small spoiler so read at your own peril: At lvl 70 you can summon ||Bahamut||
Ahh
Yeh no worries about spoilers I have already consumed virtually everything about the class online I could find
How hard is MCH for a newbie? Difficult to perform dps rotation while paying attention to dungeon/raid mechanics?
Relatively speaking, you should also be doing fine damage as long as your gear is up to date and you're not attacking enemies that are super high level compared to you.
Not hard
Right now the dots are dealing about three damage a second each
anyway, if you are still at that kind of low level where Garuda is still emerald carby then it wouldn't be much different with any other job
the game starts out suuuuper slow
And they should be doing more than 3 per tick
!action Miasma
It's full potency is 220
Really? I only so see 3 come up when I see their damage tick
Which is more than Ruin
It's better to compare the potency numbers on the skills
that's the only reliable number
Also that takes 30 seconds so the enemy by just spamming ruin
- What level enemies are you seeing that number on
- What level weapon are you using?
But yes, at very low levels in solo content mobs will often die way before your dots can fully shine. However you should still use them
If just to get into the habit
It takes....
dots are huge
Highest level grimior I could find so far
Like what, 15s? Or something
Yeah its why I picked the job
For dots to do more damage than ruin
Hi - can someone please show me the proper rotation for lv 62 black mage? I tried to follow this guide but got stuck. https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/guide/starting-off/
I kinda am a sucker for dots in rpgs just wish they had a bit more oomph rjght now
!faq blmlevelling
Good job embedding
From easiest to hardest, what class has the hardest dps rotation to perform while paying attention to dungeon/raid mechanics?
You guys think you can solo extreme mode of stormblood with ilvl 520?
Well you got the right job at least. SMN has lots of "passive" dmg via dots and even their pets are kind of a dot if you think about it
monk
easiest would be any ranged physical dps
If you're a warrior and it's vs lakshami
Monk hardest?
people who play monk well in savage and ultimates are actually cracked
The answer to that question is highly subjective. I don't find monk that hard
@faint flare elaborate? 😄
Lakshami Is the only soloable stormblood Ex
MNK isn't hard
By warrior
do you play monk in savages and ultimates?
I see.
I did dabble in it, though not full time admittedly
No other stormblood extreme are soloable
I'd say NIN is probably harder because there's more buttons.
LOL shes a fucking FREAK when it comes to cosmetics/fashion and stuff but I just made my alt on her dc so ima be broke AF until the tank money rolls in lmao
But MNK is just a very rigid rotation with a lot of positionals. It's nothing special
Oh that reminds me of another question. How is status ailments calculated and how much damage does poison deal (i saw that the alchemist could craft poisons but nothing said how much damage the poisons did)
how can I go from B3 to B4 without enochian..? I feel like I am missing something from the guide and the leveling picture
Dots do their damage every 3 seconds for the potency listed in their tool tips
Crafted poisons aren't really going to be that useful.
the leveling rotation there just has roughly what you should be doing on a rotational level. Getting enochian up is implied--it should happen after your first B3, and then you look to maintain it throughout the instance
Dots from the various classes are always going to be more effective.
using transpose (and at higher level umbral soul) during downtime to keep it up
But there isn’t a potency listed
Cause they're hardly worth using
^
ah thats a shame
Hell even Hp pots are better...and those are a waste of pot time
This is something I should be using often?

It costs you nothing to cast veil
Yes, Divine Veil is a nice group mitigation tool
just be aware that it does not affect yourself
just others
alchemist looked like a cool idea
If it procs is nice but its not your responsibility to proc it
ALC is just a crafting profession
How about.... ... ... ... .... .. .. .. .. .. . . .
Yeah I know
You can make raid potions
Never
Those are useful.
Nice for solo content, do NOT use it in group content
Ahh
Clemency is the ultra ultra ultra last resort
healer will heal you, no need to be the healing tank
I guess healer would hate me?
Which are the most important potions for raiding?
Yes, Clemency is basically a slap in the healer's face
Clemency is a waste of time and it's Hp neutral or Hp negative
😄
Also your time is better spent dealing dmg
sorry I still don't quite under the mechanism.. it says : B3 B4 T3 F3 F4x3.
I do B3 -> Enochian -> B4 -> T3 -> F3 then I got stuck. I can't go to F4
Healers feel like you don't trust them if you're spamming Clemency. Then we don't want to heal you.
Do your job quests
If you can't use fire 4 then you haven't done your job quests
^ you clearly haven't unlocked fire 4
But still, keep Clemency around as a very last resort or for solo content
it's not a bad skill, just suboptimal in a group
I have F4, but can't use it unless its under Enochian
Which you will be
Swapping stances doesn't make you lose it
So you should be able to use it unless you're somehow dropping umbral ice or fire
If you have enochain up and in Fire and can't use Fire 4 then You haven't unlocked it
Or you're being synced under 60
Anyone have a good danger bongos macro?
if I do B3->F3-> Enochian then I can do F4, but if I follow the rotation B3 -> Enochian -> B4 -> T3 -> F3 tjem F4 is grey out disable
are you taking a long time between each cast?
or using something other than F3 (Fire III) to swap
if UI falls off before you get AF then you drop enochian
anyone happen to know how many mechs you need to know for e4s at current bis?
Everything up to like uplift 2 probably
firs B3 take 3.3s to cast B4 - 2.64 > T3 2.36s > F3 1.64s then enochian dropped.
You're probably not using your spells immediately and waiting 5 years between each cast
Which means you're using either F1 or F2
double check that you're using the correct spell and that you're not pausing between casts, you have way more than enough time to maintain stacks
!action fire iii
Is there any way to set a macro to send a message to party chat only if i'm not in an alliance or will I need a separate macro?
You can set a macro to message both party and alliance chats.
If you're not in an alliance, it will only message party chat.
But if you are it will message both.
Whast a good way to make gil when you're short on GC seals for cordials and glamour prisms
and doesnt involve craftmanship
or gathering
Farm dungeons for gear > exchange them for GC seals.
Grinding DR for the hair drop
I do all my drs religiously
except for alliance raid and main scencario
main scencario especially
Oh hi @slate arrow
Do Trusts and exchange all the gear for seals.
what are trusts?
80 on my summoner/scholar and paladin
oh wait
i know waht you mean
isnt that slower
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You get all the gear for 30 minutes in the dungeon.
So it's a question of what your time is worth to you
You could also just unsync like, SB dungeons
i think ill just go back to DR'ing
Same thing, but quicker.
one last question
ive heard of people doing these things called "hunts"
how do I do that?
really the best way to make gil in this game doh/dol, but selling fragments from bozja is good too
Whenever I try to do the hunts board
very server dependent though
did you unlock hunts at your gc
Shadowbringers relic area
no one uses DR to mean duty roulette lol
DR is a specific thing
people misunderstood you
how do I unlock hunts?
at your gc
ahh thanks I was clicking a bit too slow for some reason, then umbral ice 3 drop before I cast F3 thanks..
You should be able to do hunts.
I forgot what part
are there any websites that tracks available plots to bid on?
its a blue quest
what is it called?
pretty sure its "let the hunt begin"
^
is there any preqreuisete quests i have to do beforehand?
No
alright thanks!
Level 50 hunts are at your GC headquarters, then the HW ones are at The Forgotten Knight in Ishgard until 60, which is in Idyllshire. Then the SB ones are in Kugane, but I think the first one is in Rhalgar's Reach.
Then the ShB ones are in the Crystarium.
is there a page/guide to show what you need to craft for DoH quests? I haven't done them yet and want to craft stuff in advance
so how many mobs should I be using AOE skills? I saw 3+ mobs to use AOE but saw ref somewhere saying 2+..?
Black mage uses it at like 4+
Will vendor gear hold u until a dungeon or no
Lets say 25-30
msq gear will be good enough for your first time through
Cuz thats what my summoner is now. Cuz my msq quest is too high
Already like 42 on my paladin
yeah for the most part you can use vendor gear for it, since dps just do damage you'll be fine
for healers and tanks its a bit rougher but still managable
Try this discord https://discord.gg/mRuMsqR
Rip invalid invite
link no good
that invite is invalid yeah
Silly wynne
Hmm, guess that wasn’t a derp on discord’s part
Vendor gears are the same regardless the locations? Or certain vendor has better hear?
Gear*
There's higher level vendors in later areas
Doesn't stop vendor gear being trash in general post 50
Bowl of Embers Hard is fine to drag random people into through Duty Finder, right? It's only Extreme that I should go through unsynced Party Finder?
Yes, extremes and savages (and coils) you do via party finder
Anything required for story is fine to que
It's been a while and I don't remember exactly which qualifiers are not okay for DF.
"hard" fights are story mode, so consider them as a "normal"
extreme, savage, and Ultimate are not done in the duty finder.
also the coils of bahamut
because those are savage difficulty without the name bc they were very experimental
And then they decided to give 2nd Coils an “actual savage” difficulty
Hi, i'm playing with free trial, and i'm stuck with 300k gils, how can i save them for the future ?
Kinda can't really, that's the point
You can spend it on stuff like arr beast tribe mounts but can't really buy an item and sell it back later
you could spend the gil on leveling crafters. good for if you're in DPS que
blow kiss emote can only be acquired during event?
Blow kiss is a default emote, dote however
Lvl 80 cook can meld materia right?

yes
TIL that RDM's Dualcast can be consumed by Melee Weaponskills.
And that Dualcast cannot be consumed by Abilities.
Also Sprint is not an Ability 🙃
To finish what Fuil was saying, dote was from an old seasonal event item and like all old seasonal event items older than a year it's available on mogstation for $$
dualcast is whack sadly
ohh okay, thanks
Also Potions are also not abilities 🙃
So Dualcast can be consumed by Sprinting and Potions
Such Magic
Wait... can I dual cast phonix Tail?
If I buy ff14 + shadowbringers from steam do I still have to pay a sub?
Yes
Aight
Well, I assume by the "ff14" part you mean the base game
that does come with 30 days @tough tiger
anyone help i forgot my square eqix id
only sqe can help with that
ohh
i tried to reset
but only thing i get is password
is it something with steam or
like?
I don't meet the requirements for this, but if i send them out is there a 'chance' they'll succeed?
Yes, not too low either
Oh okay sweet, might just send them out after the training i've got finishes then
So if you want the loot, you can send them out and out again
Also you can only do one of the high level ones a week
So pick the item you want
Oh yeah
btw what is an square enix id
This will fail guaranteed
Oh okay
Flagged missions need all 3 stats met

won't send them then 😄
Guess i just need to level them more then
The final ones that gives good loot
The standard missions
Yeah, those ones can be just fire and pray
if its a flagged mission you must meet all 3 requirements
I see
if its a standard mission you can succeed with just 2
Do i just need to level them up more?
yes
as I can't seem to reach the requirements for all 3
Yeah, I think for the high level standard missions, it's almost impossible to fill all 3 even with max level units
just overlevel them
Okay thanaks 🙂
As RDM, in rotation, when using Manafication, can I delay Displacement to use it after melee combo?
Like in opener I use Engagement during Melee combo
But when not in opener, if I delay Displacement by 1 GCD, do I lose a use?
I think it's fine right?
Also in opener should I consider moving the last Engagement a few GCDs later, to switch to Displacement?
you can if it benefits you to disengage from the boss in that manner such that you don't lose a use
engagement is just placed there because it ensures full uptime/not yeeting yourself off the edge of the arena
the displacement and CaC usage are under the caveat of "if and when its safe to" in normal use
Yeah, often I notice Disengage comes off CD when I start my melee. Then I can't decide if I want to Engage immediately or not
i see
other wise you want to fit them inside of manafic windows as best you can as well
Yeah, I think I want to practice Disengage a bit more
Then use Engage by a fight by fight situation
Like, default to Disengage if I won't die
i'd displace in between the verholy/verflare > scorch personally if i was to do that so its under manafic
but otherwise its off cd
I see
Why not before Verholy?
Oh 1.5s GCD?
Redoublement is 2.2s GCD
Weird number
you can if you want
I feel like the dev's intention if for you to Disengage after Redoublement...
displacement is always a single weave
what's the best priority mission reward to stock up on as trial palyer?
So if i were to send them out on this mission
There's a chance it could succeed yeah?
Ah ok great, thank you 🙂
Can i have excess loathsome memory of dying to farm?
Yes
yes
Ok thanks
Does anyone know if Kupo Bot is being worked on? I can't do any market searches for aether ( market aether [item name] command). Was working two days ago but yesterday and today it isn't. Other commands work just fine though but not market searches.
should ask in #discord-feedback
Oh my bad, thank you.
Was there a maintenance or something? I just randomly got DCed
same here
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no, probably servers having issue
Yeah I can log back in now
Things are good on my end so maybe na?
Yeah, sounds NA
i was wondering why i couldnt discard some random stuff lol
i was hitting discard and it stayed
Yeah seems like everyone got DCed
Lot of people still displayed as online in my FC, but no one responded
huh weird, I'm still on fine?
could also be a particular service having issues
Yeah, seems like only some got booted
What does the cast light action do for Fisher?
look pretty
helps you see where your cast is in the dark
(the light at the end of the pole used to be used to judge the stregnth of a pull before exclaim marks were added)
ohhhh
Ohhhh

once again, how did people play ff14 in the past lmao
On ye olde ps3
Install question: if you have the free trial version downloaded, are you able to download the full game too or do you have to delete the trial version first?
Iirc they use the same launcher it's just your account
But if its purchased on steam??
you'll download any missing stuff when upgrading service account to paid
Same launcher
There's a common complaint where steam only recognises your hours in ff14 as being on the trial version even if you buy the full game
Ahhh. Yea i downloaded the trial version a while back, bought the full game yesterday but it will not let me download it. I think it wont load the files to download because they already exist from the trial version. Its just being a butt.
Which tank can survive the most without a healer?
IMHO paladin
for solo pld
But warrior has the most auto recovery
well
oh ya u dont really have to do things by the book when soloing huh
for pure healing pld but for healing while maintaining dmg warrior
should I jsut move through MSQ on one class and then worry about other classes later?
Are u on a xp boosted server?@obsidian panther
oh im not sure - i'm on Jenova
!status jenova
doing msq as one job makes it slightly easier in terms of not leveling another one from whatever it starts at (although less time penalty with trying a 50/60 job)
yeah I leveled to like 35 without thinking about leveling any other classes along the way - I'll just keep chugging along - have fun as it is
Oh you're only level 35
Then don't worry about it as much
U still have time
You're still in early game
very
if you have the dlc there are classes that start at 50 and 60 that you can switch to when youre between expansions
when im in a party, automatic chat is "say" but everybody else seem to use "party"
how do i talk in party without having to type /party
Isn't there also a button next to chat which let's u pick the chat type
yeah

This should be fixed now
if the duty roulette says tank is adventurer in need, and i queue with a tank in my party, do i get the bonus too?
No
ty
Wait you don't get bonus exp if you're not the 'wanted' role?
I assumed you get duty roulette special EXP once a day
what if both party members are the wanted role, do they both get rewards
Adventurer in Need bonus is separate from the daily bonus
And yes if multiple players are the role in need they’ll all get it
So it's better to use the Daily bonus WITH the Adventurer in Need bonus, right?
or I could do it separately?
doesn't really matter right?
Adventurer in need is more for the Gil
Barely worth the time sleeping through satasha
do mounts have different speed
No
Does red mage do more dps than dancer ?
probably but with the buffs dancers give, a dancer is probably more valuable in group
For prog a red mage is great since you rez like mad
which race is the tallest?
For girls I think viera
Roes
I'm not sure about the guy one
viera's height doesn't include the ears
cos that's not the top of the head
plus you can change the ears anyway
Ye but most people use the tall ears I've hardly seen anyone with the bent ears
but ya its roes for both genders
Does would be a nice race if you weren't forced to have to ugly horns
Taste is subjective and a topic for #general-discussion
how long do you have for one "lockout" in the current savage
If I want to self repair my hat, do I need a lvl 80 leatherworker for that? Or can it be any lvl 80 crafter?
90mins for the first 3 floors and 120mins for the final floor
The lock out is the duty timer
The respective crafter that makes that item needs to be within 10 levels of the item in question
So you need the respective craft to at least lv70 to repair lv80 stuff
damn. What about gear melding? Is that the same?
Melding just needs 1 crafter at equal level of the gear
So melding can be any crafter while repairing has to be specific
Yes
I see ty
Hey I’m starting the game and heard a while back that there were big differences between servers in terms of player bases, is there a guide I can refer to for figuring that out?
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
