How they useful with combat class?
that's... impressive determination
Quite
You can send them on ventures for monster materials
Like sea swallow skin for leatherworkers

Or some form of blood for alchemists etc. Etc.
should i spend my scrips on materia after i have all the gear i need
Up to you
mhm generally recommend atleast one of your retainers be combat so you can have an easier time getting items that drop from monsters if you dont intend to buy them from mb
if so, does crafter materia only go up to level 7 or 8
Could spend them on materials for mb if you want
8 same as every other type of materia
8 are white scrips
oof ok ty
Easy to get white scrips from weekly custom deliveries
Provided the job handing them in is level 80
i’m almost there
Reisuis are stormblood
what are SHB
Tinctures iirx
Shadowbringers
The reisui equivalent is alkahest
and grade 4 is the highest/for exarchic gear
!item Grade 4 alkahest of dexterity
When applied to items such as battle gear, this experimental alchemical liquid will dissolve away minute amounts of aether aspected to elements detrimental to dexterity, and by doing so, better attune the item and its wearer to the remaining beneficial elements.
wait so the alk is for crafting and the tinctures you actually consume
yes
tinctures are battle potions
alkahest is crafting mats for gear, like you need dexterity alkahest for aiming gear etc
Demon slice into demon Slaughter
Is there a way to have a feel of how to play a specific job?
does feint have any use ever? I just press it whenever I can because why not
I'm gonna level alt jobs soon and I didn't decide yet which one I wanted to yet
it feels like a pvp ability
Yes
It's very useful
it's raid mitigation
It basically reduces all physical damage the enemy does
By 10%
Very good for physical busters and mitigating autos
not reeeeaaaaally, you can try it at 60 in palace of the dead, but you need it to already be a level 30 job to have access to all skills to 60, some jobs change a lot from 60 to 80 while others almost don't change whatsoever
I have never seen anyone else use their feint or addle so far, I just havent seen it
Mh, I guess watching videos is the best way
is kupo bot's ball thing based on anything in the game?
you can get a general idea of the playstyle from reading some endgame guides, they usually explain the basic concept behind the rotation
Because dps are tunnel visioned on their dps
And don't bother to use their mitigation tools
I'm interested in classes like summoner in concept, but I have no idea how they play out in game
its what now?
I use Feint and Addle
Plus in dungeons it's not superrr important but helpful
looks like an allagan node
feint is basically a rounding error outside of extreme/savage/ultimate content
Anything plays similarly to dancers, out of curiosity?
this channel's alright, but hasnt covered every job https://www.youtube.com/user/mishapenchair
You'll see addle and feint alot more in things like 24mans and especially in higher end content
addle is much more useful, and even that's not very important until high end content
Bard plays similarly to dancer with procs but there's more to juggle with dots and songs
is it mainly used to reduce boss dmg?
correct
I actually dislike bard lol
red mage is also proc-gcd based
feint is generally used for tankbusters, addle for raidwides (generally)
I didn't really feel like bard and dancers played similarly
really, depends on what part of dancer is the appeal
Sounds interesting
if it's the proc system, probably red mage
what is considered a high-level duty, for the purposes of the achievement?
well, basically all jobs play different, it depends on what you're comparing
I like weaving combos + dances
The mobility is pretty smooth too, you can move while casting
which achievement
mch can also move at all times, but no en avant like dancer
Is the swallow compass soloable
the tank achievements
What about red mage? You said something about procs
extreme/unreal trials and raids (normal/savage)
for the ones that don't specify "61+ high end content" then it's any extreme, coil, savage
red mage has procs, but also has to cast about 50% of the time
which you may or may not be fine with
err
less than 50%, probably closer to 30% of the time is casting
probably if you're geared enough, and depends on the job
Like 48%
i solo'd it on blu synced recently
Do people run binding coil of bahamut at all these days? Was waiting for a couple of hours a few days ago and gave up
Only unsync
It has white and black magic
It has thunder and fire for black, aero and stone for white magic
Interesting. I may look into them too
you cast fire/lightning black magic and stone/wind white magic
both schools are used offensively
it starts at 50 and it doesnt change too significantly through leveling to 80
and basically you're balancing white/black meters
you can get the feel how it plays straight after unlocking it
The whole gimmick is to raise your white and black mana gauged for a melee burst combo
Is it hard to play?
No
one of the easier classes to play
Second easiest job
After what?
Cause dancer stole that spot
second easiest damage job, anyway
and tbh verraise is basically hacking for pickup groups
hey look you're all dumb but alive
True
Though in like extreme and savages some people may opt into just wiping if there's too much deaths
@pine onyx noob classes lol
Some dancers and RDM out dps most of the other dps if they are good so I would not call it a noob class
I've seen good red mages and good dancers keep top dps
hey, is there a way, when im in marketboard, to know what collectible I already have (mounts, orchestrion rolls, minions) ? To not buy what I already have
Yeah cause the people playing the other jobs are the noobs
Player skill is usually more important than the class, yes. Still, RDM is a rather easy job
Nothing wrong with playing rdm tho
I meant noob as in easy to play, it was mostly a joke anyway
Can't u dual cast veraise
Not really aside from comparing with your collection
Which is op
Maybe I should get these DPS counter addons one day
I have no idea how much I actually do
ok thanks, they should add something like "hide already gotten" in the market board for collectibles
It still eats your MP if you have to raise people all the time
it won't work forever
But sure, it makes RDM very valuable
not in-game, you can enter your stuff into ffxivcollect and compare it with the site as you browse the MB, or i think there's a plugin for it in the custom launcher? but i've never used it
Red mage loses the 2400 mana, the white/mana generated, the potential proc and the potency related to the spell
Which I find funny
yea, if the rdm has to raise you that's a pretty big loss for the rdm
woaw, didnt know ffxivcollect can do that, thanks
Gotta love that Raise tax
They don't always have to read u but it's very useful to dual cast veraise if there is a raid wipe when there are one shot mechanics like Tsukyomis moon phase
Res*
just do the mechanic 5head
there's an addon that marks items like that with a Acquired: Yes/No
it's quite nice, but you'd need to use dalamud

How-to Amina weapons video from 5 years ago still applicable?🐱
possibly
for the most part
if it mentions any tome other than poetics then it's too old
Is it easier than before?
yes
So I'm kinda confused by this, but if I'm an arcanist and I wanna do a job with leatherworking for example, can I still do the job as my class? Or do I switch classes?
you temporarily switch class to leatherworker, yes
you can be all classes on just one character, crafting, gathering and combat
every crafter is a separate class, but you can be all classes without limits
just by unlocking them and equipping the required mainhand
If you don't mind me asking what that once called?
So I did prerequisite quests for Seer Volly for White Mage and It didn't appear, what did I do wrong?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Where your msq at?
MSQ? I'm a new player
Story
A hero in the making
Thanks for letting me know 👍 😃
Excluding your 1-30 class quests EVERYTHING
how's controller in this game? is it comfy?
I would personally never be able to play an MMO with a controller. Feels incredibly clunky, but some really like it.
like selecting party members if you're healing
It's personal preference at the end of the day.
bet
Personal preference but not better/worse overall if you know what you're doing
This is correct
This is not difficult
Literally
D-pad
Kinda, it was still built for pc before playatation
i find it difficult anyway
i've never played on pc but i imagine it would be faster
maybe not
Most people actually find it easier to heal on controller than kbm
If Aura can do Tower At Paradigm's Breach on controller then I find it hard to believe healing on controller is hard
I play controller on pc but we're getting into #general-discussion discussion territory
You have to go up and around to get to it.
Idk follow your compass
It's up on a one-way cliff.
My compass won't help if there's like five different levels to it
On the west side of the map, go up the ramp in the middle and head south following the left-hand wall.
Aura why do you remember this
Not unless you have friends or a specific guild you want to join.
preferred worlds have double exp
Just pick any world on a datacenter in your region.
so its a nice bonus but not really neccesary
Are there any other underwater currents or is that the only one
Preferred worlds make leveling faster, but that's not necessarily a benefit.
There are no underwater currents.
They're air currents, not water currents.
Oh so I don't have to search the entirety of the Ruby Sea
But that's the only one inside like that.
the only aether currents that are significantly off the beaten path are.. in the lochs
other than that as long as you're pinging your compass as you move between msq objectives you'll find them nearby
Not... entirely true.
All of the SB zones have at least a couple of currents that are nowhere near any other objectives. Even in the Lochs they're mostly near quest objectives, the routes to reach them are just a lot more circuitous
is there a way to stop a macro? if you accidentaly click a craft macro for example it keeps spamming "only available during crafting"
Use another macro
Only 1 macro can run at a time so using another stops the previous
i see thanks
/macrocancel also stops it iirc

i like using a text message with a sound effect to use as my macro canceling effect
it doesnt happen too often, typing /macrocancel is cleaner than adding another button!
So question. Is there any way to review your performance in a raid?
You need to go back to the waking sands and do "a recurring problem" chain
For hard mode primals
And do the instances
Only with third party tools
ah thats a shame
Is there a list of preferred mobs to farm for levelling BLU at each level band? Assuming I'm doing this solo
i want to be able to make sure im actually contributing to the group and not acting as dead weight
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
but for the most part at lower levels it doesn't matter
Because you have jobs like Dancer who does stupid amounts of damage
And then you have lancer which literally can't AoE until 40
NIN is in the same boat with no AoE until 38
whatever is one to two levels higher than your current level
The upper limit is around 10 to 15 levels over your current level, barring level caps though
Is exarchic gear the best lvl 80 gear?
No
which one is it?
Augmented cryptlurker and Eden promise savage gear
both from raids?
Cryptlurker is revelation tomes
You can buy augment items via nier coins or Hunts
(except weapon augments, that's savage only)
So it's better to do hunts then
Damn got myself in a predicament. Deleted my old square account when I used to play back in 2014. Made a new account but can’t change account id on PS4 when trying to play again
Anyone have an issue similar to this?
yes if you do hunts for tomes to get cryptlurker (ilvl520), and then upgrade it with items via nier raid coins, the items will be itemlvl 530, while upgraded exarchic is 520.
savage raid gear is also itemlvl 530 and can have more optimal stats for your job, but for those specific details i suggest you check "the balance" discord for your job specific best gear
Need to contact Se support to unlink your psn from the old account
Oh other question. What is considered a lot of gil or an expensive item?
10mil +
also in most extreme and savage content someone else will be running the tools like 90% of the time, you might be able to find yourself on fflogs even if you don't use the tools yourself
if you want to see your performance
Basically @violet acorn gave 400k and sadly don’t know if thats enough to support me through msq
that'll be more than enough
You don't need gil to get through the story
Ah lovely
You don't buy anything
unless you have a glamour addiction, the game gives you more than enough gil
i definitely will have a glamour addiction
I also spent like 200k on glamour stuff for tapsey too xD
Can you buy glamour thingies from npcs or only other players?
Both
Glamour Prisms mainly come from Grand Company vendors for a few Grand Company seals
You need to be promoted a few times first, but otherwise you can get em by the bucketloads
Hi! I'm new to the game and I was looking for a website where i can build a character with transmogs like "wowhead's dressing room", just to check how a specific race would look with end game gear and costumes. Is there any way to do that besides lvling a character to max lvl?
I have one give me one moment
Use retainer or make an alt
thanks!
Sadly it doesn’t let you customize the base model and is lacking some of the newer xontent
My main goal is to look cool, so this will help me alot
How many positionals does monk have?
But its enough to play around with ^^
6
Just make sure that you can actually wear the items
@faint flare fuck
Like wow its super fussy about what your allowed to glamour over your items <~<
Do you have to basically go in a circle the whole time on monk lol?
So no glamouring a black mage look over a summoner
no, just sit at the ass-corner positional and adjust accordingly
!faq positionals
or even more annoyingly you cannot even use the outfits you unlock for crafting jobs no matter how cool they are
I see, I will keep that in mind
What's the difference in damage if people don't use positionals
aw
Has it been tested
depends on the job, but an average of ~15%
I'm gonna be trying monk
assuming you whiff all positionals
if I have starter edition, can I level to 80 or do I need shadowbringers DLC to level up to 80?
One of my first designs got hit by that restriction when I found out that the really cool veil was dancer only
you need starter
Dlc to go above 60
starter edition lets you go to 80
free trial is what's capped at 60
no
60
Iirc starter is just arr+ hw
Sorry, too many words going on at the same time
starter is free trial with social functions unlocked
So still capped at 60
you need shb for 60+
When does the +exp for killing mobs trigger? I am at lv 63, killed a mob at 64 (Minobi) and it did; killed a mob at 67 (Rainbow Tiger) and it didn't.
Monk looks really fun I hope it's not that hard to learn the positional rotations
So it's a class bind equipment
is that voeburtite or astral silk healer top?
also res pretty to spend pretty much the first twenty levels in ugly mode
Heirloom tunic of casting
Depends, but usually that's the Chain bonus, assuming you're not leveling an alt job
Head is augmented exarchic hood of aiming
Pretty sure that veil is also the ironworks casting head
please go to #glamour-discussion if you wanna talk fashion :d
It's a muscle memory thing. Eventually it'll just click, making monk pretty simple tbh
The chain bonus is what I'm referring to, yeah. Levelling BLU in overworld
i just had a question mb
So yeah lots of model reuse so might be worth a lookup on garlond tools
person was asking questions about glamour
ah thats good to know
I know. Just saying, cause there's like 4 different questions going on
I'm sure it will eventually get easier once I know what skill has what positional
I heard there's gonna be a discount for ShB this weekend cus they are announcing/releasing some new stuff?
No guarantees
Nothing confirmed.
Np i will change to glamour there, I already got what i came for tho xD
ty for the help
But fanfest is this weekend so some are expecting endwalker pre orders to open
They do pre orders 150+ days in advance?
So what are the conditions to trigger the chain bonus?

kill things before the chain bonus timer expires
goes from 80 seconds down to 10 seconds
No I mean to start the timer
kill things
Do they give out anything special if u pre-order the next exp
I'm killing these Rainbow Tigers and it isn't starting
then you're probably too over or under leveled to get the chain bonus to proc
Last 2 have given exp multiplier earrings
EXP bonus earrings, a minion
So likely an earring that gives extra exp below 81
Exp earing sounds good minion sounds usless
oh and early access

Ah, what's the level banding like?
+/- 2 levels, gives or take?
!item Aetheryte Earring
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 70 and below. Attributes and item level vary according to class/job and current level when equipped.
95
104
※ Repaired By: Goldsmith

That's the last one
Inb4 it's a ||Emet|| minion
Thanks
Will unsub if it can't ||snap||

Do the Aetheryte Earrings only go up to i290?
^^
It just deleted any earring under 70
290 is your lv70 artifact gear and it's the highest item level youll get before you finish the sb base msq
And after that the earring won't work
oh
Similarly when/if we get an Endwalker preorder earring it'll probably be I think it was 430
Wait the 70 AF gear is only 290?
yes
Ye
In its base form
relic gear is always the 'introduction' gear
sometimes you can augment it, but for the most part you discard it pretty quickly
or never use it past the first job
gotta remember that 70 AF gear was 4.0 gear. While the augmented Scaevan gear came later via patches
and was tied to the last raid tier at that time
At the start of an expansion we gain about 30 item levels and by the end of the patch we've gained about another 100
Similarly the lvl 80 AF gear is also just 430, I don't remember what the augmented version was though
you can't 'augment' this expansion AF
however you can accquire idealized gear at 485 from Memoria EX from the relic
Idealised
You cannot use this function.
Please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Centre for additional details.
Error Code: i2501
I bought the game from https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/ but im getting this error when i want to use my code
Not enough details. Where did you play the demo, and additionally what region is your Square Enix account?
Have you tried opening a support ticket?
Mogstation is annoyingly fickle
u mean on phone?
You may have a VPN active
How do ppl find new fcs these days?
!faq communityfinder
And recruitment channels
is that after entering the code?
are you using the correct url to login?
if it's still in maintenance it's still in maintenance
it's not on maintenance
its an error on incorrect url
well, is when you get that message atleast
the screenshot they just posted says that it's under maintenance
yeah but it's not.
even though the screenshot says so, it is not on maintenance, it's just a different error page
since i am able to login just fine
see
lets see
Can I buy a level boost for someone else? Like one white mage's journey as a gift?
👍
finally i can enjoy samurai haha
Inb4 he only bought a starter code and still needs to buy shb
Thanks yeah I submitted the form. Just gotta wait a couple days I guess.
beast tribe submitins like dwarfs dont care about HQ right?

Bruh , thanks
Is there any point in doing Deep Dungeon after you've maxed level. Any cool rewards or anything?
Top floor reward, accursed hoard
The high floors have better Sacks with good and expensive items
Glamour for the padjali and kinda weapons
Like potd has the nightmare pegasus which is like a fucking lot
Also potd is an option for Shadowbringers relics
I mean. you could try soloing it for kicks
it is soloable btw
Everyone job has done it
Level 80 right ?
Oh yea .... That sounds extremely long
Cause potd solos are long
it's long, but can be p fun
Several hours to reach 200
HoH soloable as well
Wait what? Which step?
515 step
Nice
timeworn artifacts
It is rng in potd until 150+
wait, after buying all expansion i can select title screen?
ohh 😦
Does monk have positionals on its aoes?
No
This is gonna sound weird, but did they change Hyur cpose/idle animations in a recent patch? My character is rocking back and forth now in his idle and I swear to God he didn't used to do that.
AoEs don't have positionals.
No. You might have changed it by accident as there's 3 different idle poses
No? They only added a new /cpose
do we know the date for next patch?
Late may
After fanfest
Aka 25th
ty
Since that's late may
What's up with scholars, why are they being joked about all the time
Depends on the joke
can you be more specific
Joked about how?
Basically all jobs have memes associated with them.
Like DRG being floor tanks.
WHM "Blood for the Blood Lily"
etc.
Scholar is perfectly fine, just usual pets are retarded (less so on scholar since they're not Constantly using them
probably something about every scholar switching to sage when EW comes out
noone is playing pvp? waiting que shows 30min? There isnt like 1 big cross server lobby? i can pvp only with ppl on same server?
PvP isn't very popular.
PvP is cross server, it's just literally nobody plays anything but Frontline
I think it's mostly something about sch being forgotten? Might have been a different healer, idk
Pvp just exists so people who want to pvp don't whine
Most datacenters have like, one night per week when everyone queues for Rival Wings
Then it's the meme of scholars swapping to sage, the new barrier healer hotness
People are just shitposting about it because Sage is going to be in the same niche as Scholar
Although honestly at least for the first few weeks or so, all healers are going to be going Sage.
Not just SCH
But who knows, they might give SCH some more unique tools compared to Sage, we don't know until Fanfest rolls around with the skills trailer.
Tbh I would love to see Sage get "Tbn" style effects on their shield, since they can "augment" their abilities
What niche is scholar in, it looks fun
Because all healers will probably be getting another skill revamp
But thats discussion
SCH is barrier healer niche
Resource healing.
Scholar is the Shield healer and King of off global heals
Namely by using Aetherflow and cooldowns to heal effectively, because nearly all it's spells use a significant amount of MP.
And resource management
Do we know what kind of healer Sage is going to be?
Barrier
A shield healer
Barrier of sorts.
Like scholar
With lasers
We don't know what sort of unique resource it will have.
How they'll shield is unknown
I'mma try out scholar later, cheers
we know they're a barrier and that they can buff their abilities, sometimes
Personally I'm betting they're a tech-based healer

I want to know what the next melee dps is going to be. I heard they might announce it/ hint at it at the live letter
They will show i5
They will announce it
they will announce it at the live letter probably
^
The general assumption is that it'll use a scythe, but not hard confirmed yet
Lit!
It will be revealed literally within the first hour, give or take. (Might be exaggerating)
Live letter itself will probably focus on 5.55
Alongside the full EW trailer
If we're lucky it will be revealed (visually, at least) in the full trailer
To me WHM feels waaay easier than SCH does. Is that a matter of having played it more or is SCH actually a lot harder to heal with?
WHM is a very easy healer.
Cause whm is easier
Because it's entirely reactive.
There's like no resource to manage
Okay, so straight up a simpler job then
Outside usual mp
SCH you have to not only worry about resource management, but also about predicting incoming damage rather than reacting to damage taken.
whm is the easiest healer
And lilies, but it's basically just "use lily or use cure2"
After a point you don't even need to use Cure II
Are shields harder than heals, or is it just the resource management part?
Shields are just temporary hp
Shields don't help if you've already taken damage.
The thing with Shields, if they're not fully broken then a regen would have been better
sch is harder because you have to heal in advance of damage, rather than after
So you have to be able to use them to effectively mitigate incoming damage.
so you need to know the timing of fights super well etc
And most the time, the Shields don't change much unless it saves people from death
Aren't they straight up inferior then, unless played at a very high level? It doesn't -feel- like they're worse, but talking about it like this makes them seem bad.
If people live you can just slap heals and call it a day
Not at all
hardly inferior
No, cause scholars don't use their Shields much
They're the king of off global heals
SCHs have solo healed ultimates, the hardest content in the game
SCH is (as far as I know) the only healer that can solo heal DW Ex
Aha, so shields are hard to use and have a lot of caveats--- but SCH doesnt use it as their main heals anyway, they're a nice boon?
Like with all healers, your primary heals are off globals
And scholar has the most out of everyone
SCH also has a passive heal at all times with the fairy
Some are just gated by Aetherflow
Which is the resource management part
If you fuck up Aetherflow use you're gonna a struggle
If you can juggle your cooldowns effectively, SCH healing can quite literally result in you never using MP to heal
I literally use 0 gcds in any content I've healed as scholar
Outside some levelling dungeons
(discounting prepull adlo)
Okay, I think I got it.
once sch "clicks" it can be super enjoyable and effective
agree

it's very cathartic to play right
because it has the most reward of any healer for planning correctly imo
until you have to heal up to full from living dead and you're both out of cooldowns and aetherflow
They're the best suited for massive pulls with how good their tools are and how plentiful it is
dissipation 
Gotta love that ET
Earlier it was said that WHM is mostly reactive, I assume SCH is mostly predictive then. Does this mean its harder to do progression with them?
sch is better for prog, actually
depends on the player
No, cause you just shield everything
Oh? Huh
Then learn what you can take Shields away from
It's easier to remove things then add things
So reactive isn't better at all, just different?
yeah
healing is more on the player skill side for raids
I figured its hard to predict stuff when you dont know whats coming, but I suppose 'preemptive' is more accurate than predictive
personally I find sch easier to manage than ast and whm, but others may feel differently
since a lot of attacks can be condensed down to the same things
You cant reactively heal people if they're DEAD
I mean, most fights are scripted and in a fixed order - if you learn that it isn't super hard to predict
I don't know if this is a question or discussion anymore.
he was still asking questions so he's aight
👌
im discussing tho

Guys my SO purchased the base game on Steam and now she needs to download it again? or she can continue playing the "trial version" because her account is now "complete"?
you're downloading the expansion content, essentially
The download should use the same files, assuming you're still using the default install location.
You just need to download the Stormblood and Shadowbringers zones, cutscenes, and audio
Sideways related, AST noct mode has always been shunned. Still the case, pick diurnal without further thought?
Regen >>>> shields for AST
in most situations yes,
Literally all they did for shield AST is "regen? Now shields kekw"
the issue with sch and proactive healing is it's harder to play when you're constantly being taken by surprise
Sure you still have a buttload of oGCDs but those have their regen effects replaced with shield effects
In pure numbers, diurnal just flat out heals more than noct
Hmkay, I won't bother looking into it that much then, answer is pretty straight.
I think I've been told in the past that two regen astro is still better than splitting it
no
Astro regens don't stack
Oh, for real?
2 regen is useless
That solves that then
But white mage + diurnal regen stacks
I thought that only applied to shields?
I swear I've seen two AST regens on the same target.
If you have two DNC in a dungeon and they use Closed Position on each other do their Standard and/or Technical Step stack with each other or do they only get one buff
It stacks
Standard step stacks
!action aspected benefic
Restores target's HP.

Effect cannot be stacked.
Technical and devilment overwrites
Yeah no it's only shields which don't stack
It'd both
where do i find striking dummmies?
"Effect cannot be stacked with Galvanize"
Effect can't be stacked is under the regen section
read higher indus
Summerford farms
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Effect cannot be stacked with scholar's Galvanize.
Diurnal Sect Effect: Effect cannot be stacked.
I dont know why they removed the subscriber counter in the log in section...
thanks
Assuming you're on a recurring subscription, that shouldn't matter. It only shows up if you don't have auto renew enabled
Do you know how to cancel recurring ?
Mogstation > cancel SUBSCRIPTION
do NOT press Cancel Service Account
that deletes your account wholesale and requires you to buy a new key
Damn,thats some satan button right there
Oh damn only 3 days remaining

help i'm in combat with a training dummy and i can't teleport
right click it and reset enmity
Right click its health bar and click 'Reset Enmity'
Or if you're on controller target it and hit Square
it worked, thanks!
seems like they could stand to rename this tbh
They should move that option tbh
Jesus... what the hell does this mean??? I purchased it and I can't just activate it like literally every single game in the world now I need to find a "mog station" but nobody tells me what the hell that is...
!faq mogstation
quite frankly, it comes up on a simple google search too
yes this is the website where I took that screenshot.... and what now?
manage service options, enter item code is it not?
Item code is for items, not game codes
ah, right
you need a mog station account to play the trial anyway
speaking of spending money, is there a good-ish resource to keep track of any promotions or discounts for the game? been playing the trial and liking it a good amount but holding off for a good deal (which is easy enough to set alerts up for) or another fat chocobo promotion (less so)
I forget exactly what it was but I remember a big thing where it was like "give us any money on amazon and we give you a cute little guy" that almost swayed me
that was for the fat black chocobo
yeah, whatever it was. figuring it is gonna take me a while to hit 60 so I got some time so will keep an eye out for discounts. and it looks like lodestone will probably give a decent update on if there is a sufficiently cute little booger. just wish rss feeds were still a thing but I understand that is now hot The Internet works anymore because that would be useful
every update and event is uploaded to the lodestone first
can also follow the ff14 twitter
there is the chocoporkkur mount if you havent seen that
yeah. at some point the world decided incredibly heavyweight social media feeds were better than a single text file that could be used with any aggregator. but that is just me old man ranting
90-100ms is pretty bad for XIV isn't it? >_>
That's pretty great. All fights are designed around 200ms ping
Is it really?
This is an mmo, not a shooter
I play on wifi on a ps5 but went a pinged aether, primal and crystal and ranged anywhere from 90-100
i play with like 80ms ping
Ik but regarding being accurate with GCD's and weaving I assumed that'd be kinda meh
Wifi can be a bigger issue than the ping, it might mean your internet is unstable so you can have lagspikes.
I mean I never have lagspikes thankfully
In that case you're good to go!
The only weird thing that does happen with my wifi
90-100 is almost standard
Someone else might be able to tell you more about double weaving and ping, but sub 100ms is fine.
150+ gets sketchy
Is usually daily at the same time am and pm my wifi drops out suddenly and is instantly back up
I mean depending on the game it's not even long enough to actually cause me to drop out of anything
But it happens or I'll have 1 single lagspike but it's literally at the same time everyday
AM and PM
sounds about right
not sure how OT tech support is, but my apartment complex "discovered" an issue like that where basically everyone had massive lag spikes at 1 am and 8 am. 8 am because kids were "going to virtual school" and 1 am because updates and... streaming videos... were occuring. overloaded the switch comcast had and they needed to replace it
its not possible to change a mounts bmg right?
Nah this is at weird time. It has changed overtime from when internet is out because of ISP maintenance or just because we've reset it
But the current times it goes out is 3:42pm and 3:42am
Used to be at like 1:15pm and am
It has changed over time
yeah, it will shift but from experience it is usually heavy load coupled with some form of maintenance thing. could easily be your ISP changing when it runs a cron job
cron job?
I just blame Spectrum tbh. Sadly that's all we have in the area I'm in rn and never used to have anything like this before them so
I mean, you do you and if you are satisfied, fine. but even with something as evil as Comcast, the techs tend to actually want to do a good job. it sucks and is time consuming but if you are persistent you can tend to get these weird corner cases fixed over the course of a few months of tech visits
I mean all and all it's usually decent. Just alot of hassle at times and annoying when they have their late night maintenances with no warning
This is a questions channel... Not a discussion channel
And as I said the "disconnect" I get is usually never enough to kick me out of anything
Was a continuation of my first question >_>
What is the most efficient stage to farm Irregular tomestones of pageantry in the upcoming event?
I know but pls take it to another channel
Probably Hades (around 10mins for 10) or blue mage crystal tower/Alexander
What’s Irregular Tomestones of Pageantry?
hades ex, specifically
... what does that even mean? like, I agree, it was OT to begin with and was mostly just addressing an already borderline question. but... what does "This is a questions channel... not a discussion channel" even mean? like, is there a cutoff on how long an answer can be?
Fanfest moogle tome event
you can't get tomestones unsynced
You don't get tomes unsynced
Oh Fanfest
@signal anvil when it transitions from a question specifically about ff14 to something else
Or if the question had been answered already.
This channel is, ultimately, meant to be kept clean so people can ask questions and get answers quickly.
I'd consider someone giving me info on why my internet goes out at certain times being apart of "questions AND help"
But is fine. Moving along
Kinda unrelated, but I did notice weird lag spikes a few days ago while raiding.
As in, as a MCH, my skills just sometimes don’t go off.
Does this happen normally with low ping?
yes but thats not an ff14 question so you can ask in #technology-discussion
I get that (and this is DEFINITELY OT and pedantic) but that pharsing just seemed incredibly harsh and kind of nonsensical. Like, keep it OnT and if it is a particularly involved question it probably belongs elsewhere. But that is just a meaningless statement that comes across as unnecessarily rude
Gonna drop it but just... wow
you mean high ping yes? it's advised to have low ping when playing mech
I think it’s caused by the boss flying across the arena, so the game thinks I wasn’t facing the boss as the cast went off?
Not really rude since this channel is heavily moderated and a mod/mentor wouldve said the same thing sooner or later.
Estelle is correct
Does /afk stop party invites?
No but I believe /busy does
afk does not
If it's discussion to clarify something, that's fine. If it's extended in depth, we ask you use a more appropriate channel. That being said, we're not omnipresent so try to reign in extended discussion when you can :p
afternoon all - if I apply glamour to an item, is it always bonded to just that piece of gear? or will it bond with a new piece of gear i equip?
The former
it's bonded to that piece of gear
Gotta reapply if you get something new
No
Just glamour the new item
With the item
The piece if gear isn't consumed
It can be reused Infinitely
its literally a copy paste
if you equip new gear you need to copy paste the glamour again
Just re-glamour the gear
nice ty, what happens to the old gear that was bonded, thats forever bonded?
you mean glamoured?
sorry for noob question, I'm like 400 hours in and only now looking into this
its glamoured forever until you remove it somehow
You literally just put a copy of its look onto a piece of gear
Nothing changes about the glamour gear you're using

Okay ty for the explanation, I'll test it on some stuff
the appearance of the piece of gear is fixed until you apply a new glamour
and only to that piece of gear
tried to read up about it online but seemed complicated lol
I think there's a !faq for this too? It explains in some more detail
there is its !faq glamour
A beginner's guide on how to use the glamour system in FFXIV - glamour plates, the glamour dresser & everything you need to know to get into the REAL endgame :)

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...

I swear I thought it also touched on glamour plates.

I just reached shadowbringers and my character looks like a potato with random gear so want to glam them up a bit Haha
does DR give exp

Gives mettle tho
My friends want me to turn my main character into a potato, so I've been looking up naming conventions...does Minminti Minti sound right for a lalafell?
I'd say so
Elezen
Both the Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen are proud clans from a proud race. The forenames and surnames used by them have changed little since the time when they first crossed into Eorzea from the north. However, over the ages, due to bad blood between the two tribes, the surnames once commonly used by both, have b...
Most people wont be able to tell anyway, it seems lalafell-y. But if you want to be certain, there's a specific rule to it
lalafell names canonically would follow the conventions in the forum post above, but in typical fashion most lala names a cutesy or just funny to say
Dune fem but yeah
Or are just food names
I saw a lalafell with the best name ever , Tic tac
No lalafell name beats that in my books
I'm very tempted to make my new name Viewing Cutscene but that'd be too much 😛
Probably taken already.
@loud hearth I kid u not when I first started this game I thought someone's name was viewing cutscene
When I first entered a dungeon
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENGZpSkVUAAs0Wz.jpg does anyone know what headpiece this is?
!iglam Replica High Allagan Circlet of Fending
thank you!!
What's the highest gearscore rn?
535 weapon 530 average
I bought full 510 from the Market, I take it's enough to start raiding?
very nice
designed that way so you can raid as soon as you like if you have the gil
I hope u looked on other server for prices before u bought gear because some servers are overpriced@high otter
I trust you bought it high quality right?
I made exactly enough gil from the story
Servers*
I didn't, I thought market is crosserver
you can only buy from boards not on your homeworld though
On my server my weapon was 150k on another it was like 65k
not sell
I spent around 1.3mil gil for full 510
That's average
that's on the high side but still okay
It's kinda boring to calculate all the prices for cheapest gear like I did
Had a note pad with all prices
also FYI, there are commands for kupo bot to check prices on multiple worlds quickly
saves you the time to check for yourself via world visit
the way universalis works, is people with the plugin have to manually check the item you want to look for before its updated
thats why it can be outdated
can give you a brief estimate though
the old market plug ins aren't viable anymore
so this is the best we got
To check another Market I must jump into another shard via crystal, right
Yes
Is there a way to check all items at once on a MB or just 1 by one
In the 3 main cities
You can't display all items on the MB, no
Do people still use golden saucer And is it active these days?
very much alive, yes
Cool.
it also gets new stuff added to it sometimes
like a new "major" mini game next expansion
gold saucer is my life
@high otter it's way cheaper if u go to other servers , I calculated that if I would of bought my 510 set on my server it would of been 1.5mil and after I visited all servers for prices it only cost me 890k
triple triad every day
thanks, I'll remember it next time
though I'm not sure I'll be buying anything that expensive
U might buy glamour weapons lol they are addicting@high otter
so yeah...
best weapon for glamour I've seen is quest one
@high otter for what class
drg
Hello again, questions and help section.. I keep having problems finding the correct place through the various square enix/ffxiv websites.. I purchase a starter edition, but my game still says free trial.. It gave me some sort of code, but I have no idea where to enter it. Advice appreciated :S
!faq mogstation
Code goes in here
Will check it out, thank you very much
If u look on MB at the blue weapons they are glamour and they all shine and stuff but they are 1m -3m
Some look better than the quest one
I mean, glamour is a pretty subjective thing
hmm, I'm pretty sure I already checked all blue polearms on market and few of them I liked I already bought for ~100k each
also you're veering off into discussion territory
Before I go from break, what is the primal called for monk
I Wana see how it looks
What primal
Which one
There are many shiny weapons for each job
There's alot
The one u get from doing the long quest chain
