Also if they notice you do something wrong and then proceed to flame you... fuck them
yeah, usually the person indicate if the purpose of the PF is parsing
If they give you advice that is great
Nah, they'll most likely give advice. And besides, you can see your own dps compared to others in your party by checking the enmity bars next to your names.
but if they are dicks about it you don't want those people
the gist is you want optimal rotation in high level content cuz less time spent on boss is less potential wiping?
And yeah, most people usually give you advice
if it's just farming party, as long as it's clear it doesn't matter
in high level content, there is an enrage timer
after the last phase, the boss does an attack that just kills everyone
Again, in any kind of casual content an optimal rotation doesn't matter much.
But endgame content has dps checks and enrage timers to worry about
Just straight up die
ohh
parsing also sometimes placed you in a very high risk positioning so parsing doesn't mean it became easier o_o
Also
There's Extreme and savage content
so even if you get to the point where the party survives the whole fight without a wipe, it's still a loss at the end if not enough damage was done
what's the earliest boss with an enrage?
Alex? I guess
just don't join a parsing party and you will be fine
You could do some right now, yeah
not there yet
endgame content does not necessarily refer to lvl 80 (though it usually does)
Tbh, you want to personally strive to optimise your rotation no matter the content you're doing. Doesn't mean it needs to be perfect, but you can always play better. Playing better means that dungeon runs go by faster, and that they're most likely easier to run through. @radiant plank
It refers to Extreme and Savage difficulty content
technically Ultima in Prae 
alex ok, i'll see when i get there
Alexander savage is endgame
level 50 extremes and coil raids
Cause
Well
Its hard
basically all high end endgame
Alexander normal does not have enrage timers mind you
don't think even Alex has high DPS check.. but you do need to play your class properly...
only savage does
just don't join a parsing party when you just want clear...
it usually clearly states before you enter the party finder
i guess i just had a misconception about ppl being dps obsessed because i didn't know about enrage
Now i feel dump to ask
Whats parsing
I mean... some people are dps obsessed
Using 3rd party software to record the party's dps
Yea there are some very dedicated
i wanted to say that but i felt it was rude, thanks for reading my mind
for sam it actually... matters because that's all they have
other than roulettes how can i make gil i have never been above 500k and i’m literally in savage prog now been playing for years
lol
most specfically, it records information from the battle chat window
and organizes it into usable data
I see
I think one good thing about parsing though is that you can shove it into xivanalysis
don't buy from marketplace :p
There are sites like fflogs where you then can collect that data for varies kinds of analysis
so you can roughly see how good/bad you and everybody in the party is doing in whatever content you are doing
which helps myself quite a bit
i have spent millions there
and yeah, it's sometimes reassuring seeing how well you do compared to others
or the opposite. but then you know you should improve
leveling crafters + gathered buying mats and such
also though, parsing doesn't take equipment level into account so you're pitted against people with BiS as well
so ngl it doesn't matter till you're bis
Well if you have leveled crafters you could play the market to make gil
I have this paradox that i love that
I want to do Extreme content, i feel ready for it
But i can't cause without party finder is just straight up pain
is it?
Yes
depends on your DC really
I mean there is always the chance for some weird random people but sure, it usually works out
... crystal
there is a higher population of people who like to do higher level content there though right?
not necessarily
I think EU was nice, I never experienced NA
remember that EU has only one DC back in SB
NA's nice, you just get some weirdos
i'm talking about Light.. but yeah If you can't speak FR but roll on moggle well...
only issue you might face is one clear/party disband for small reason
@patent citrus thats my personal nightmare yep
Chaos + Light together is probably the size of just 1 NA DC
I mean NA dcs are the most populated because people outside NA also jump on it too
You could say the same about Shiva. And honestly the memes with bad german and french players just exist because you never notice the good ones. Because they just speak english
(like my german ass)
Not what I meant but fair 😄
only in NA xD
HA
I once tried to do, what was it, Ramu Extreme
We wiped 7 times not even going to 50% and the party leader just straight up rage quitted
french players can be good but most french players i met just refuse to speak english
and thats infuriating
cause they all speaking one language
I meant that the refusal to communicate is annoying more often than not
There were 4 sprouts
Cause i did not know
Nop.
Party finder.
I was young and reckless
either way it's pretty pointless to do ramuh ex, but ragequitting happens
esp if it's blind prog or some shit
Yea thats why i really do not like my server
I play on Moogle
half the people haven't watched anything and just gone in
To be fair
I just wanted the cool Thunderclaps
get to 80 and solo him! def possible
But now i know the horror
it's why clear parties often have smth like 'watch video beforehand' though
Yea it sucks
no no it doesn't suck
watching a vid legit makes it all faster
so everything isn't as painful as it might be
Nono ,I mean
It sucks getting into a blind party
I watch guides for every hard content i have to go into, so im always prepared
which is the problem
you just notice one guy's making a lot of mistakes
pretty common in pf
When it comes to buying a house, do you need to complete the MSQ up to a certain point (after already unlocking the residential areas)?
I tried another time
I set into a 25 minutes of the party leader explaining the whole thing, in french
I think you need your GC role to a certain level
... ouch. eu's a bit torublesome cuz you have english/but also the rest of europe lmao
I swear finding englisg people is low key hard
oh I thought you are talking about Dia Ex or something like that
so most english speakers are prolly just.... english speaking middle europeans
for something like Ramuh Ex, You'll need people with specific knowledge and there are only few of them..
yeah lol
And it sucks when
You know
You wanna find a good FC , a static, people's to play with
FCs and statics are normally different
ah yeh, that's a problem as well since moggle is mostly FR FC
maybe you could find where the EN FC is?
General rule of thumb: you have a low chance of beating any extreme on duty finder, use party finder or just unsync it
!faq communityfinder
Yea i find it out the hard way
party finder
Oh hey thanks
We also have recruitment channels here
pretty sure mentor roulette people got that sometimes haha
You can but you'll only get people queuing for it or mentors who don't want to do it
I think if mentor roulette gives you it
So, you know, that doesn't help either way
Mentor roulette can get extremes
it's your responsibility as a mentor to tell them to use PF/unsync it in future LMAO
No one likes that
hey, best you got
legit who in this day and age learns ramuh ex synced.. I mean. I'm sure there are but...
I learned it cause well mentor roulette haha
I pulled it off once when I was a dumb sprout
the mechanics aren't hard cause it's just extreme, but yeah
Oh but that is not an issue really
The moment i get premium i can just buy the sword i want from the market
It was a terrible experience
I just threw myself at it unsynced
sometimes it works out because you get
that listen
You think that...
last week
for a sprout who are used to doing normal stuff, it's a bit of a shock o_o
sometimes it all goes to shit because the
never listens
shock -
get it? shock ramuh
The issue is, that this set the stage for most of hard content
well...
honestly, most mentors just left if they get it
The moment i became "good" i just deleted the sprout from my name
Most hard content is only run during its expansion
Cause i kept getting judged by it
well. technically I unsynced bismark and ravana w a friend
Outside that most people just unsync the content
but still
I mean I'd still advise keeping it
sprout is a privilege o_o noone should harass you for that
Anyways getting into #general-discussion /#rants so move along before channy baps us
maybe it's a moogle thing

sure but do free trial first
and make sure you read up a bit
because we have some differences to WoW so assuming it's the same is a mistake
just do the FT. the 2.5 seconds GCD might melt your brain at first but it gets more hectic later
I’m asking cause game seems like p2w
Not to mention it already has to be paid to play lol
absolutely not haha
From what i saw you can buy gear for money
it's only pay to play
you can only buy cosmetic gear
it's only cosmetics
they're worthless as equipment
they're almost all level 1
It's pay to win in that increased level caps and better gear are locked behind paid expansions
That's about it
You can also buy level skips but those don't include gear
So you saying that the mog station which is what i read
Has seasonal and non seasonal cosmetics then?
Mog station is the real money store
mog station optionals are purely cosmetics
yeah that too
seasonal cosmetics also come back as permamnent cosmetics eventually
don't buy level skips if you don't know what you're doing
And apparently marriage is also paid
Ye
only platinum option
there is a free marriage option
For a fancy ceremony and shit
you can have other ones for free
different packages
and I mena. getting married is. optional
the paid options have just, more cosmetics
money in game is mostly worthless
Only standard is from what I see
after a certain point
ingame currency is ingame currency
i think they mean gold package?
oh package
Ye
yeah don't bother
You can't even sell cosmetics afaik
Well if I’m playing the game I want the cosmetics so
platinum's popular for marriage because you get a mount and stuff on top of it
not the ones purchased for real money
you can get minions and cosmetics
And the mount
And the mounts?
also
same thing
It was an old Halloween event mount iirc
I doubt there is free one
a major thing for mounts too is extreme trials, each mostly gives you a different mount so those are pretty desirable for players
Then
no broomstick but there's other stuff
oh that one. it was the free halloween mount a long time ago
usually these are free stuff from events but they get added to shop in future
Also saw a fat cat mount
seasonal free stuff gets recycled into the mogstation as payables usually a year later
And a Xmas bear mount
there isn't a free version of everything available in the cash shop, that would defeat the purpose
you should see some in game mounts lmao
if you want an item specifically from the cash shop then you'll have to pay
mogstation is only some of it
but there's more and better looking mounts available for free ingame
through achievements, drops, currency, etc
From what I see so many mounts are just recolours lol
even crafting lmao
but you can use a different mount. chocobos can also fight along side you
so that's mostly what they're used for
only in overworld
so 바이오 (bio?) for summoner is it a AOE? cause when i cast it it seems like it does more than 1 mob
Wait i can feed a mount?
so grinding fates and stuff
lmao yeah

Is there an animation for it?
how do i get it to attack jsut 1 thing
Chocobo is a companion
do you want that?
you have an aoe summon/single target summon in future
but I guess you might be arcanist
do you perhaps mean your emerald carbuncle?
Oh so I can only feed the chocobo mount?
Emerald Carbuncle's attacks are all AOE, you will get a single target pet later
You can't bring it into dungeons but you can use it as a mount or summon it fight along side you in the overworld
Not the others too?
summons normally have aoe skills by default
yeah first carbunkle i have
yeah, it'll have some aoe skills
that are still viable on single target
Chocobo is special
which one does single targble? XD
those are just placing really
none of those
it's just going through it's skills
And how would you feed a motorcycle?
emerald carbuncle has an aoe auto attack
in future you get ifrit, which is single target focused
nothing you can do about that
Well I mean creature like mounts
(though it also has aoe)
ooh so i just have to a rip and not die lmao
you could order your carby to not attack, period
while your carbuncle also does work
you can feed your chocobo because that's the only thing compatible with a chocobo stable
Do NOT do that
Can free trial players join the novice network?
What do minions do btw?
follow you around lol
this is the reason why i was asking which one was what cause some of these words i dont nkow lmao
cosmetic
Free Trial players can be invited to Novice Network
Lords of Vermillion exists but its pretty niche
there's a rts-type minigame with pets
I've never touched it LMAO
Why are you playing in Korean?
can free trial ppl reply to whispers?
nope
nope
and because i'm studying korean lol
Fair enough
you can also ask them to invite you into party
but u can be in party with them tho
and speak in party chat
What's so special about the legacy chocobo
yeah i told them im foreigner and they're like suprised pikachuface lmao
Or legacy account
I mean for this game seeing as it's an mmo maybe try and understand your skills before focusing on the language part
because other people benefit from your understanding
and lots of skills are already wordy even in english
legacy accounts are accounts that were active back in 1.0
they have slightly cheaper sub prices
well i kinda know how to play summoner
It means you're a survivor from 1.0
i dont have cheaper sub prices!!! and im from 1.0 >(
And get a lifetime discount on your sub
wtf
you what?!
Ohh
is your account from 1.0?
yess
huh
and i got my legacy character on balmung
Did you have an active sub when 1.0 ended?
Did you paid for subscription then?
huh....
Hmm
no cause it was always free
Or when it went free to pay for sub holders?
no
I believe you need at least 3 months of 1.0 subbed time in order for it to count
Well I need to think about it it’s just that this game seems to have more like housing minigames marriage XD
oh when i played it was always free
I c
i dropped off and came back during 1.0 lmao
And not to mention that this game I can play all classes with one character only apparently
What do you get beside the mount
New content actually arriving every 2-3 months
I mean, try it yourself. you won't get full experience on free trial (social wise/marriage wise/possibly cosmetic wise) and some classes are gated but otherwise it's good
Birthmarks
and im planning to do some POD with summoner to understand the skills better. but figure noone will party with me from lv 1.-14 haha
Wait what
And on WoW gotta make a new character for every damn class
Legacy? Lower sub price
How does that even look like
-.-
Oh and a modified arr story
The smug is admittedly leaking through
I don’t mind having different race for each class problem is WoW tries to be alt friendly
But in the end it isn’t
XD
I mean no harm in trying
This is not a discussion channel btw
Ohh
theres 4 servers in the korean version. moogle, carbunkle, chocobo and tomberry. is moogle and carbunkle even a server in usa?
moogle is eu
The scion tat
it's more an archon tat. means they're smart
daddy look like a snacc
no wait, i derp. its this mark
if u put thancred ina picture. i will comment
all in all there's no harm in playing xiv through trial. a shocker might be how much RPG there is in the MMO lol
korean DC, china DC and the rest of the world are seperate yup
But world names don't repeat for NA, EU, and JP data center
well yeah ofc lol
iwas just wondering if those names existed in america servers
Guess there's enough people for personal stuff
then yeah we have moogle and stuff but they're in eu more
whats weird is hearing the ARR login music with the shadow bringers backgfround XD
crystal has stuff like balmung/diabolos/zalera/lamia etc.
Btw is there really worker classes? I know there is the normal ones the tank healer and dps
Those names exist in the eu/na/JP data center
funfact in korea you dont have to buy the expansions or base game. just pay sub and u have it all
oh we have so many crafters
fisher, culinarian, miner, botanist, alchemist, and I might be missing one
BLACKSMITH
ARMORER
Wait I can actually be a chef
it's advised to level them all together because they feed into eachother but it's all optional
In the game?
definitely
Cool I mean
but they get stuff like 9-12 months after eu/na/jp so its kinda rip
Cook*
Carpenter, blacksmith, armorer, goldsmith, Weaver, leather worker, alchemist, and Culinarian
That's all the crafters, known in game as disciple of hand
food is actually viable for making money from quests and also actually, smoked chicken sells well as high tier raid food for example
thanks homie
Do I rly cook as in animations?
Miner, botanist, and Fisher are the gatherer (known in game as disciple of land)
On a stove or something?
You toss a tiny wok
Or a cutting board depending on the recipe
Omg so cute
oh nah the crafting is surprisingly. actually. qutie close to combat. smack buttons in order
The crafters each have two unique crafting animations
An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept Eorzea, causing the dead to rise and grind to no end. In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no fun, no communities, no players, no raids. Denmo Mcstronghuge finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future....
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We're getting a stardew Valley island next expansion
we get farming >:)
Lol
Black Smith, goldsmith, and armorer shares some animation
because they know our char has been through a lot. lmao
but yeah beware there's lots of RPG in this mmo
OMG they dont give u traven tokens. i ran outta money lmfao
Fair warning this is a final fantasy game first mmo second and EVERYTHING is locked behind story progression
really?
you can also just cast return. its 5 minute cd but its free
REALLY
15 minute cooldown, right?
if we say you need to be a certain level for something it's probably your msq level as opposed to player level too
Hmm btw does races have unique stats or abilities?
im too spoiled lmao
No, D
!skill return
oh derp. 15 minutes
@wintry trench personal preference
technically they have stat differences so its so tiny it doesnt matter.
not enough to matter but I find it funny how I have about a 20 hp difference of my 110k when I'm a cat and a dragon guy. so as a cat I'm actually 109k
A bit bad tho that apparently they are gender locked
If you want to min max to within a percentage of a percentage of a percentage sure. But otherwise just go with aesthetic
Kat, no
but it REALLY doesn't matter
its like about 10 max points of stat difference when you get 3000~4000 of stat
you cant even tell the difference
I see
unless you reverse engineer the damage formula
you can if you're right on the edge of like, 1k lol. but not in battle you can't
I see a what, 19hp difference as a lvl80 tank between races
when I switch
of about. 170k+
crit variance is more noticable than the stat difference
No in game content will put you in a situation where you'd go "man, I wish I used this race instead"
Yeah the games solidly balanced
Whatever other games drilled into your head
even then the crit variance isn't big enough for you to wish you were smth else lol
That's their business
Don't worry about those ideas in XIV
thanks kupobot
Oh, another thing, all your stats comes from gear
ah yes that
There is no stat growth
Ye since I play WoW races do matter there when comes to choosing a class for them
A character who played mages for a long time won't get more Mage stats
everyone has the same stats at the same level in classes
Like orc is better as hunter etc
(mostly)
The race stat doesn't matter
None of that shit. Go nuts
It exist, but it doesn't matter
they put in that race stat stuff probably just ot confuse people LMAO
Mandatory note: in this game you can even level every single class on the same character
Still the bad thing is races here are gender locked
it didnt matter before either. its mostly a roleplay thing
only 2 races are gender locked
ah
Two race
just viera and hrothgar
Oh wait only those two?
yup
yeah
Yeah
I hope they don’t make more like that tho
you cant get those two in the free trial anyway
because designing the other version was too much like hard work
Yeah, viera and hrothgar are generally considered a bus crash of wasted potential
not a good one. we're waiting
It won't happen again I'd say
Hyur, miqote, elven, aura, lalafell, and I forgot are not gender locked
roe-
Anyone knows if it's possible to only show the HP but not MP in the party frame? I feel like it's kinda wasted space when healing
Roegadyn
Thanks
Nope
not that you need it
And all races are free?
all races are free
the only reason to have multiple characters is rp flavour
not possible and it's probably nice to see your other healer's mp/rdm to see if they can do things
The most basic subscription comes with 8
All but Hroth and Viera
You don't need 8
except viera and hrothgar which you need the actual game, not freetrial
literally only need one character
You can want 8, but you don't need 8
more than one's almost a handicap
I see
!faq subprices
Entry sub is one character per World with a maximum of eight
having alt is almost zero benefit
@pulsar escarp thank you! wasted so much time trying to find it in the options
No s, Smug
!faq subprice
But the only reason to have an alt at all is to play on another DC
thanks, i always forget
DC?
Data center
Datacenter. basically another realm
Haa
to be more right, another region
You mean like eu and na?
Yes
Match making are done between worlds within the same data center
the difference between this and wow is regions are further cut up into sub-regions or datacenters
there are 3 DCs on NA
etc etc.
NA has three DCs, EU has two and JP has three
I see
DCs for NA are on the same physical location
they function identical to wow cross-region restrictions but
less people in EU
We don't know how to answer that kind of question
Then you'll want to pick Light or Chaos
EU's servers are both in frankfurt
anyone from japan server
Not roles, datacenters lol
Ya
Btw is there difference of playing game on steam or the actual launcher client?
Yes
Which one is better?
Actual launcher
Depends
But what’s the difference?
either is fine. most people who prefer steam do it because they like using steam wallet
The purchases on steam and standalone launcher cannot be mixed
Steam locks you into having to buy all future expacs and whatnot from Steam and it goes on sale less often
For the game itself there's no difference, only your payment/expansion options.
I see
It is not like you are gonna rebuy the game again and again
Steam lets you use Steam wallet, which can sometimes have a more favourable exchange rate for sub
I always find the sales reason highly situational
It’s funny that most mmorpgs are also on steam
But wow isn’t
XD
I think WoW is only one that isn’t
On steam aswell
Thought this one wasn’t on steam aswell
But turns out it is
No there are others but thats besides the point
I mean popular mmorpgs
XD
Which have the most players
Like wow and final fantasy
RuneScape etc
i have a question
For me?
my steam libarary says ffxiv online free trail, i want to buy the subcription do i need to delete the game and then i buy the one with sub?
The free trial doesn't expire
you dont have to delete the freetrial. when you buy the game, i think there is a way to use the FT files you already downloaded
so you dont have to re-DL everything
Expired for me
Wym how
im a boomer with files and stuff so i dont know what to do haha
It doesn't expire
It expired
I couldn't play anymore
I had to sub
Did you buy the game?
If all you had to do was add sub time, then you already owned the game
In which case you weren't on the free trial
Bought the complete edition ig
Which had all the expansions
Idk man all I did was download the free trial
I'm confused but whatever
Thats fine, just the free trial doesn't expire so please don't tell people it does
It expired for me but I don't wanna argue
It wouldn’t expire unless you activate a purchase code
I played free trial for three months or something before purchase
and then even after purchase it was only after code input

anyone know the best samurai stat priority?
I frequently hear all dps jobs have Crit > DH > Det
For SAM it's skill speed to hit certain "tiers" then what Tael said
You can find the tiers in uh
!faq balance
it's also just in the image isn't it
damn lol i put a bunch of crit
i had a feeling it was skill speed
there on filler phase
you have three types and that's.. with the buff
yeah actually I've forgotten the numbers
but 2.38 is the middle
To be fair usually you aren't needing to meld a lot of skill speed so you're mostly fine anyway lol
oh ok cool. ty for help
to play dancer what do i need?
any other combat job at level 60 and own shadowbringers
I think most tanks are other than war
Sub guys, need help with a level 75 dungeon
I c
Is it bad if I only use aoe to heal
Kinda
depends on the content, but probably
Does it depend on dungeon?
how to buy sub with free trail
no, if it's a dungeon then about 90% of the damage will go to the tank only, so you should be using single target heals
they're stronger than aoe heals, more mp efficient, each healer has multiple strong single target regens/shields/other cooldowns
if it's some 8man trial or a 24man raid then aoe-only would be.. not ideal but good-enough for the most part probably, though still not a good thing to get used to
so steam auto takes from my bank acc per month?
we get new expansions every ~2 years and you do need to buy a new one each time
depends how you set it up, you can set it to automatically charge or pay manually i think
Okay so I was tanking dungeons as DRK and AST gave me balance card
Why's that
Oh wait nvm I got it
No melee
there you go then
Ya
I follow the usual rotation or try to
So melee probably didn't suck but then again you can't parse on PS4
if I give tank a card it's prolly that or I just misclicked and you were the one I had selected
would you normally give cards to the shittiest dps?
if the tank is somehow doing more than the dps, i'm considering the dps a lost cause and not considering them
0 x 2 is still 0
ohhh you meant role and not 'your dps was shit' as in your personal dps lol
ah
I get that then
in that case, someone's gotta be bottom so if everyone was playing properly i'd just do whatever
yeah either way
card will contribute to a dps increase for someone
just prolly not a healer because they won't be as focused on smacking things as mcuh as dps/tank
What is alliance chat messages? Is that a zone chat of current map?
No, it's your alliance raid in its entirety
All 3 full parties
not to be confused with shout, which is a similar colour by default and that IS current map
you were right with this
thanks
it's alliance chat, zone doesn't matter
alliance is 3 full parties joined up
like in 24mans
I was asking about yell, which turned out to be the same color
only 4 chat tabs available?
Yeah
But fully customizable and you can separate them into multiple windows if you want
I can't rename Battle tab though
if i buy this does my game libarary free trail name change?

not sure, but you get to keep your free trial progress if thats what you're after
Hello, maybe returning player here. I'm trying to see if i will go back to ffxiv after some months, i stopped back at eden... titan savage content iirc and was wondering if it's worth to go back to the game now.
Also wondering if it's hard to get to past/current raids as it's the main content i enjoy the most i guess with party finder or it's still hard if you're several patches behind
How can we tell if it's worth it or not? If you like the game — ofc return, by all means
yeah it's not difficult to catch up
old raids are in roulettes so there's barely any dead content
even the savages/extremes?
yeah there's still PFs for it, or you can put up your own
ikishoten is used on cd, or is it just when kenki isn't going to overcap for sure
?
the 2nd eden tier is now "outdated" so you probably won't get parties for e5s-e8s, but the current tier is still alive
Old savage/extremes are ran unsynced to farm them. It takes a bit of effort to run them synced, but people are up for it at times. SE is also putting effort into renewing old extremes for current-tier gear.
both
manage your kenki to use it on cooldown and not overcap
hum... well i guess i'll hope the raiding community got better since last time i played and maybe hop in back for a month to test...
If you had issues with the "raiding community" last time you played, I doubt that will have changed. But that's rather subjective.
is there an up to date "how to catch up"guide with the current patch esp on gear side please?
PF randoms can't really be called a community, like 40% or so of players do some savage, your experience will vary on the people you get or the groups you put together
once i reach lv 60 i instantly unlock dancer? or do i need to do anything
it's in limsa
the problem is that some behaviors burned me out, and also people always seeking the metas so i couldn't really play what i wanted sometimes. It was a bit tiring.
well good if that changed
It's always been like that for the most part
AH
i had to be forced to play ninja at some point and i am a main sch for some statics and i was literal shit at it
14 knows how to balance things and make content clearable with every job
really didn't enjoy that mentality
As long as you're not garbage with a job then you're fine
@marble plover this one's a good gear catchup guide

thanks
not that's been added mid-expac, no
Someone needs to make a video on how mmorpg game works with trial , sub and expansion . Many think it’s like single player game with save game files… or minecraft local game file shared coop. Too many misconceptions.
I am not sure, what kind of misconceptions are you talking about?
Like, there are a few local game files that are stored in the client, ui/settings, but game character data? no that's stored in the datacentre.
Otherwise, if someone really believes that ffxiv is a co-op multiplayer game with only local save, then they must be joking, for real.
Those feels like the kind of things you look up by yourself
they should learn the concept of how games in general work.
You can still heal while soft targeting someone right? Or should I just hard target them instead
Like, click on them, cast, and untarget them?
Yes
Yeah
Cuz i was gonna lvl conjurer and wanted to dps and well as heal
The first you begin a cast, it targets the thing you selected whilst the start of the cast
and you can then just select anything else anywhere
Soft targetting swaps you back to your original target after 1 skill use on then
Targetting for a spell is locked as soon as as you start casting

You know it is kinda logical people think like that, because many people that play games not that often never touches MMO's whatsoever, so they think it is just the same as all other games.
So such people see an MMO as just a multiplayer game like warzone or minecraft what they do know.
minecraft servers stores their user-data in their servers though, though it is a singleplayer game, you are basically playing on a server, but locally, and when you open to lan, you open that server.
@green grail after buying it, i will get code which i can activate on mog station?
yes
Hi I have a question, I have a lvl 58 BLM and want to start another job, is it like starting from scratch with all the lower quests and all or is starting a new job only killing mobs/doing dungeons/job quests?
Depends on what job you choose, some starts at 60,50 or 30, or 1
I really want to redo all the quests I did, quests also give xp so I was wondering if I start a new job, how in the heck do I get xp
1, archer
I'm currently around lvl 10 on archer but there's literally no quests I can do
thank u vis
Well, at lvl1 i would just kill a few monsters, or do potd, till you can do the first dungeon
!faq altlvlguide
For levelling other jobs
I really would like to do the quests again though
How do I do the quests again then?
Quests are one and done
you can replay the story with new game+, but exp and other rewards are disabled
New game plus for the story. Unlocks in vesper bay
It gives you NOTHING
Just for replaying story
it gives you pain in your heart
D:
well there is no poland to choose in billing address, kinda weird xD
so random country?
it's the NA store, i linked that since you have the primal role
What's the best way to prepare for ishgard housing? I'm new and have never had a house and all of the housing slots on my server are full so I think ishgard is my best chance. Though how will it work? would it be easier to get a house quick if i were to get one before ishgard?
@candid ruin You need to go to the EU store instead.
I seee
if you're just on free trial i believe you can buy from any region you want, if you live in EU then buying in EU would probably be better even if you play on NA servers
ohh, i thought that icons mean that i can speak english xD
So basically i gotta be the first on 6.0 releas
You might also want to check your account region too.
do trial accounts even have regions
ahhh what really
Yes
fair
https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565219/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download this is the eu one then
Make peace with the fact that you probable won't get any
thanks again
@heady lily Getting a house is about 90% having the ability to sit at your desired plot and click on the placard until the invisible timer runs out, and 10% luck of your click when it does going through instead of those of the 30 other people also trying to get the same plot.
are books only limited to 1 drop/week for the savage promise raids?
yes
So there's no point in doing them more than once/week?
if you're only after the loot then not really, no
so let's say I want the edenmorn ilv 535 weapon, I'd need to wait 8 weeks to get it?
You penalise loot and chests on further runs anway
If you don't win the roll yes
Books are your totems
Basically
Would it be faster to farm augmented cryptlurker or edenmorn?
cryptlurker, by a lot
but it's one less weapon damage
though unless you're going to just do optimized parse runs it doesn't really matter
ohh and can i renew sub with normal bank transfer?
not trough bank transfer, but trough visa/mastercard/other payment processors.
:V
@obsidian patio how to dive underwater on controller
circle
You're kidding me
i don't think many gaming services accepts bank transfers anyway....
or when on a mount, more directly face the water perpendicularly instead of an angle
You also have to be over a place where the water allows diving. Some of the water's edge areas are a little picky about that.
I've been up for so long that you're awake again after going to bed
Also is Ruby Sea the only place I can dive at the moment
Yes
how do i know how far i am in post arr ?
Sirensong made me go through all my oGCDs in trash mobs and I had to Cure II
You can check this list: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seventh_Astral_Era_Quests @fringe bone
Have you met ice lady yet
where can i get level 50 gear for my DoL retainers?
Having a bad group doesn't mean the dungeon itself is hard to heal.
ty
Retainer can do gathering when selling item on market and storage stuff and items?
I have 2 retainer which I use like bank and selling. but I dont know how to set them for gathering and even I am not sure they can do gathering when I use like bank and run market?
you need to do the quest "an ill-conceived venture" which is in all three starting cities, doesn't matter which one you do. once you've done that, you can set your retainer's class and send them out on ventures to go get things for you
Ventures are independent of other actions.
they can be a combat or gathering class, though they can only be as high as you are in that class, and for gathering retainers, can only gather things you have personally gathered yourself atleast once
What level does DRK have more survivability? Early on it seems so squishy for being a tank
70
!action the blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
When you get that
It lacks it's short defensive Cooldown for so long
Who's Angelise Reiter? A fictional character?
I'm a bit confused at that question. Google gives me that that is the name of a random player
looking at google its just some guy's character
are the grade 4 reisuis the best right now ?
do you guys have the most "accepted" theory to what the endwalker lyrics are
there are a lot of arts with her and all tagged FFXIV
A LOT of arts
Some people do that
it could just be commissions
Probably just some guy who gets lots of comms
They play on Balmung, so probably someone big into RP
People like getting art of their character
So basically some random player character got famous in the community and got dozens of commissions? Heh, that's cool
more likely they just buy a lot of art of their character
