[fiery pagoda]

i cant do that?

[manic flare]

?

[modest igloo]

you can only buy up to 500 MGP and then it stops you IIRC

[manic flare]

oh yea you're right

there's a cap on it

it is quite low

[fiery pagoda]

thing is, if i pay for sub, my trial status on the account is going to end

[manic flare]

well@fiery pagodaif you plan on getting a sub anytime soon but still want to ride the free trial out, you could just buy crafting mats from vendors

then once you get the game for real, you can sell them on the marketboard

usually they sell higher than the vendor price, usually

[fiery pagoda]

hmmm

[manic flare]

or you can buy gear from vendors then desynth them, to level up your desynth skill, and get crating mats which you can later sell on MB

once u have a sub

[fiery pagoda]

interesting

i think ill do that

just gotta figure out how to do that

[modest igloo]

in order to desynth you have to be lvl 30 crafter of the thing you're trying to desynth

[void venture]

for free trail is there any other mount that can go faster then chocobo

[fiery pagoda]

oh

[modest igloo]

all mounts travel the same speed @void venture

[fiery pagoda]

@void venture progression thru main storyline quest can boost up the mount speed and also unlock flying

[void venture]

oo

[fiery pagoda]

what do i have to buy to fully play ffxiv?

sub fee + ?

only shadowbringer?

[modest igloo]

the complete edition

[fiery pagoda]

i see

[modest igloo]

or starter + shadowbringers

since you dont own the game yet

[fiery pagoda]

what will happen to complete edition once endwalker comes out

[modest igloo]

you'll still have to buy it

[fiery pagoda]

ill have to buy complete edition + endwalker?

[twilit arch]

if you buy complete edition now, you'll have to buy endwalker when it releases yes

[fiery pagoda]

what if i wait until endwalker

[twilit arch]

then you'll get endwalker with complete edition

[fading helm]

i have a question

lets say i buy the game

and my sub runs out

can i still play the free trial content

[twilit arch]

no

[modest igloo]

no

[twilit arch]

you stop being on trial the moment you upgrade to full game

[modest igloo]

hence why its a trial not F2P

[pearl wharf]

ok so...

[fading helm]

ok ok

[pearl wharf]

i just noticed something about the health bars of a party member

when i switch between classes

[modest igloo]

party buffs

[twilit arch]

party bonus

[pearl wharf]

huh

[slate arrow]

because the party bonus only applies if you're on a combat job in a different role

[pearl wharf]

well theres a smaller bonus when you are of the same role

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can I find animal trace for facet of gathering?

[slate arrow]

check your gathering log

but it's in the eastern nodes between the inn and the trading place

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks 🙏

[covert wigeon]

So I got myself a new monitor, since I'd been using a TV. However I noticed these weird blotches around the areas covered in shadow. Never had this problem with my TV. How do I fix this?

[remote lintel]

what blotches

[covert wigeon]

The shaded parts of her face and her outfit.

[remote lintel]

are you talking about areas like this on the side of her face where its slightly reddish-greenish?

[covert wigeon]

Not just that, I mean the entire face. Most noticably around the center to left side.

[remote lintel]

thats just a game thing

i think it also depends on your screen because its way more apparent on my phone than my pc monitor

it looks almost crunchy on my phone

[cosmic parrot]

should i care more about block str or block rate

[remote lintel]

doesnt matter

[short jasper]

Neither, as once you pass level 50 they're equal on everything anyways.

[shrewd owl]

They become equal- yeah that

[cosmic parrot]

seems odd, but ok, thanks

[remote lintel]

its like defense and dmg

[short jasper]

It was a 1.0 stat thing that never panned out as mattering

[remote lintel]

they naturally come with better gear

[short jasper]

There was like... a very niche thing involving a skill no longer in the game that it mattered with but that skill's long gone so... you know... whatever wear the shield with the most strength on it

[honest anvil]

How do i keep <t> and <pos> ‘s info even after changing zones? I used to be able to but now it just says my current location weirdly >.>

[short jasper]

Post it into /say which creates a link you can use later.

[honest anvil]

So type out <t> and <pos> in say first, then keep it as that before teleporting?

[short jasper]

Yeah, it'll be there when you teleport, do your thing, then come back provided you don't log out

[sterile smelt]

how do i get to show ff14 to show on game activity?

[remote lintel]

did you enable it in the discord settings

[sterile smelt]

yes i did, also change all to admin mode

[lethal bison]

whats the easiest way to make money to buy the lv 5 armor for the quest? lol

[remote lintel]

@sterile smelt do you not see it in the drop down menu to add it

[sterile smelt]

no i cant, it detects the launcher but not the game itself

[remote lintel]

huh

no idea then

[cosmic parrot]

you might just have to add it manually then

[sterile smelt]

isnt that dropdown the manual one?

[cosmic parrot]

nope, right under no game detected

Not seeing your game? Add it!

[remote lintel]

theyve clicked it in the screenshot

[cosmic parrot]

thats the launcher, not game itself

[sterile smelt]

yeah. i clicked the Add it button thats why there is a dropdown

[remote lintel]

yes the game doesnt show up in the drop down is what theyre saying

only the launcher shows up

[cosmic parrot]

oh wait im trippin my b

i swear there was a manual one that allowed you to select processes

[lethal bison]

How can i make enough money to buy the lv 5 armor for the msq?

[random girder]

you can buy it at the battlecraft suppliers in your starting city

if you dont have the money, you can do some fates

[lethal bison]

oooh

fates gives some money?

i forgot cuz im like fates? who is she

[random girder]

yeah lol they give a little bit

[lethal bison]

im playing the korean server lol

I know the first one is to put your pet away and last one is to switch if u have another pet but what are the other ones ?

[random girder]

last one is to attack, not switch

second is follow, third is place pet, fourth is stay (?)

dont know the other two

[waxen karma]

Is there any way to place markers in dungeons/boss arenas that only you can see? Or is it only possible to have them visible to the whole party?

[modest igloo]

whole party only

used to be different until people used them to cheat mechanics

[quaint forge]

What level for new healers should really start DPSing?

[remote lintel]

1

[lethal bison]

as soon as u can dps

which is 1

LOL

[quaint forge]

Most of them didn’t think of that right away such as healing no dps

I meant a serious answer

[lethal bison]

if u have an attack that can hit use it

[remote lintel]

that is a serious answer

[lethal bison]

yes

when ur not healing u should always be attacking

[quaint forge]

So that means we’re allowed to remind them regardless at their level

[lethal bison]

yes

some dont know that

they just think i just need to make sure tank is alive

and never think they can attack too

and keep theirs dots up when not aattacking

[quaint forge]

Ok, just asking. I don’t remind them at ARR dungeons. When we’re running from HW - Current expansions, I do need to remind them

[lethal bison]

i mean i'd have them do it at ARR to get practice and used to it

[quaint forge]

It’s true that new healers said they need to keep the party alive.

”Offense is the best defense” they say?

[lethal bison]

some HW stuff can get hard

[remote lintel]

yes

if theyre not dpsing then tell them to

[quaint forge]

Right. Ngl, healing with 0 DPS never crosses my mind during my first day. I mean, I did play as Arcanist. When I choose the healer path which is SCH, I am glad that I can both ATTACK and heal at the same time

[lethal bison]

now time for my noob question since im doing this on free trial and its been 7 years lol. I'm told theres a merchant that sells armor near this quest npc. where is he? 😮 this is the quest where u have to buy lv 5 armor

[quaint forge]

Anyhow thanks!

[remote lintel]

go back to your starting city

[lethal bison]

;-; so theres not a merch near him?

[remote lintel]

not that i know of

[lethal bison]

ah there is!

[sterile smelt]

what are levequest good for?

[remote lintel]

leveling crafters

[lethal bison]

basically xD

[jovial tide]

Do I need all 56 logos actions to unlock the +1 augment shop?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

・£ 5.75/€7.00per name change

Why are there two options?

Oh... two different currencies

[fiery pagoda]

i have some questions about dodging aoe

[leaden ginkgo]

Fire away!

[fiery pagoda]

orange glow on the ground

disappears, then the boss animation comes in

or mob

but when am i actually dodging

when am i safe and when am i not

[dire prawn]

Before the orange glow disappears

[remote lintel]

you need to be out of the marker before it disappears

the animation doesnt matter

[fiery pagoda]

got it

[dire prawn]

As soon as that orange AoE indicator disappears you can walk back in

[remote lintel]

except in a select few moves

[fiery pagoda]

so usually

when the glow disappears, i can jump right in and regardless of animation

[remote lintel]

yes

[fiery pagoda]

and regardless of animation, if i stay in the glow when it disappears, no matter where i am, i get hit

[remote lintel]

yes

[fiery pagoda]

alright

[remote lintel]

damage is snapshotted once the aoe disappears

[whole wasp]

yup. the animations do nothing actually. only the orange pizza matters

[fiery pagoda]

i see isee

[whole wasp]

the only exception is the rathalos in the monster hunter collab

[remote lintel]

the only exceptions are boss attacks that are channeled and whatever

[whole wasp]

there they fiddled with it to make animation alot more accurate ala monster hunter

[fiery pagoda]

i wanna try gunbreaker later but ive never tanked in this game

and i only recently started playing, like for 1-2 week

The 18 hour ones always give silver pieces

[void venture]

@modest iglooso i shd delete the free trail version and download the other version?

[runic turret]

need input on a tough decision (just started playing about a month ago).

2,000/2,000 (50/450 this week) for revelations, so I have to decide now which job gets cryptlurker first.

Dancer is probably my favorite DPS (ninja is a lot of fun too though).

Paladin is my favorite tank.

In most MMOs its a no brainer - DPS generally more gear dependent. But I'm not so sure for FF14 where everyone has to DPS.

Thoughts? I also have enough tokens for 1 diamond weapon, so 1 job is about to get really juiced.

[remote lintel]

@void venture

when you buy the base game the launcher will automatically update

[modest igloo]

No the trail just limits you

@runic turret whichever job youre going to do savage with

If it's your first class, just do MSQ.

[fiery pagoda]

wth is mSQ roulette

in the guide

is it talking about main scenario?

[modest igloo]

It’s the last two dungeons of arr

[remote lintel]

msq roulette is main scenario

[modest igloo]

Since they have unskippable cutscenes

[wispy basalt]

hi i wanted to start the game with a healing class since dps takes a lot of time and there's to many dps i want to be special

what class is more friendally

for newbies as healers

[modest igloo]

Conjurer

Goes into white mage

[wispy basalt]

easy to use ?

[ebon pumice]

Yeah

[manic rune]

it’s the easiest healer to learn

[ebon pumice]

I played conjurer up to 30 and it's like, cake.

[wispy basalt]

: 3

[remote lintel]

white mage is the simplest healer

also plenty of people play healers

[ebon pumice]

I imagine it gets more depth later

[runic turret]

@remote lintel @modest igloo I guess that's my challenge. not sure if that is PLD or DNC. lol. I think generally I love tanking more. But since I am a noob, is it a bad idea to try to be the tank?

[ebon pumice]

Rather in later levels

[remote lintel]

@runic turret no

tanking is easier than dpsing

[ebon pumice]

Tanking is easier than everything

[wispy basalt]

is tier list effect the game

[modest igloo]

Nah play PLD, everyone is a noob at some point

[remote lintel]

@wispy basalt there are no tier lists

[modest igloo]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[jade quartz]

No, all classes are balanced to within 5% of one another at the most.

[modest igloo]

Play what you like

[jade quartz]

There is most definitely no tier list, and if you see anything like that you should disregard it. It's a laughable concept in this game

[runic turret]

nod. I do really love PLD. in the world of MMO tanks,. its a really fun one and tanking is always my favorite thing to do

[ebon pumice]

My main is PLD and honestly? Just sorta make sure you're drawing aggro and occasionally maintaining sentinel and hallowed ground

[manic rune]

play what you think is cool/fun/interesting

[wispy basalt]

intresting

[ebon pumice]

That's about it

[runic turret]

tempting to gear upDPS though for fate farming. but then again a PLD with 530ish gear farms fates pretty well too..... hmm

[ebon pumice]

Well, and AOE for trash mobs

[modest igloo]

All classes have to DPS anyways

[ebon pumice]

True

[manic rune]

and keep in mind 1 character can level up all classes, so you can always ditch a class if you feel like it's not interesting to you

[runic turret]

the problem with this game isnt that a class might be not fun..... its that so many ARE fun so you switch around constantly. lol! 😛

[ebon pumice]

I've jumped around classwise a LOT.

[wispy basalt]

my friend gifted me a scholar level boost i reach level 70 and unlocked scholar and summoner

i just can switch classes

[modest igloo]

Ye

[ebon pumice]

I started Monk, went Ninja, then White Mage and settled with Paladin

Jumping classes is fine

[remote lintel]

job skip isnt really useful unless its for alts

[fading helm]

guys at the palace of dead

like floor 14

we all die instantly

[remote lintel]

you cant use higher level skills during msq anyway

[wispy basalt]

can i change my race ?

[remote lintel]

not without a fantasia

[ebon pumice]

With fantasia

[wispy basalt]

what is that

[modest igloo]

Welcome to potd it only gets worse with traps

[remote lintel]

item that lets you redo character

[jade quartz]

Yes, with a phial of Fantasia. You get one for free after finishing the main story up to level 50; further Fantasias after that cost real money.

[ebon pumice]

Lets you reset character appearance and stuff

[wispy basalt]

which one ?

the act

[remote lintel]

the ultimate weapon

is the quest name

[wispy basalt]

hmm

Finish the worst dungeon in the game

For grinding at least

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo make sure you entered your payment info correctly and your bank isnt rejecting it

before a year i was farming this dungeon for currency to get mounts ik

[modest igloo]

It’s just cutscenes not that hard

Praetorium makes me sad every time I hit it on roulette.

Yeah but they're sooooo looong

[wispy basalt]

to many unskippable cutsencse

[remote lintel]

if you already beat it then you should have the fantasia in your inventory

Not really relevant to #questions-and-help

i will check later for now my subs are expired gotta wait week to rechage it im just getting and learing informations so i can play it the right way

is mods bannable ?

[fiery pagoda]

should i rank up my grand company rank?

[remote lintel]

@wispy basalt yes

[obsidian patio]

The stuff you can buy at higher ranks can be a source of Gil

[remote lintel]

@fiery pagoda yes

[obsidian patio]

Stuff like glamour prisms, cordials, and various crafting materials

[wispy basalt]

i cant use a single mod ?

[remote lintel]

all mods are bannable

[jade quartz]

Most mods and addons lie in a grey area. Strictly speaking, they're against the terms of service; however, if you don't talk about it explicitly in public ingame chat, then you're practically in no danger.

[gloomy mortar]

Will the fan fest be rewatchable?

[wispy basalt]

weird i saw to many people using it

[jade quartz]

Thousands of people use mods wih no negative repercussions.

[remote lintel]

because they dont put their in game information when they use mods

so they dont get banned

[wispy basalt]

lul

[jade quartz]

One particular addon, ACT (a dps meter) is practically required for endgame raiding.

[wispy basalt]

ok ok Thanks for the info !

[manic rune]

it depends on your screen resolution

so people with ultra wide screen monitors have a wider field of view horizontally

[halcyon radish]

Hey, I've had this problem since november but have only tried to fix it a few times. Still, I never have any luck and google never helps.

Basically, Discord doesn't detect FFXIV and display it as a status when i boot it up and play, and I really want it to do so. I see plenty of peoples' status say FFXIV.
I've recently noticed this also affects my in game overlay. Since I can't have FFXIV as a status, that means I can't have a voice chat overlay in FFXIV, and that's something I've really been missing.

I'd love to get this resolved finally....

note, it doesn't appear in the dropdown box and making a new game using chrome and renaming it to FFXIV is a shitty solution and doesn't ever go away unless I delete it, nor does it fix the overlay issue.

ping me if you answer this, sorry for interrupting any other questions.

[runic turret]

do ANY games display? is it just FF14 that doesnt?

[bright silo]

@halcyon radishhave you tried changing from fullscreen to borderless or windowed and seeing if it shows up?

[edgy sail]

You've probably tried everything here though

[halcyon radish]

Everything but FF14 works just fine.

[halcyon radish]

No actually, let's see.

oh, it's already borderless

[edgy sail]

That's interesting, for me ffxiv is the only game that it works

[bright silo]

try going full screen then

maybe

[halcyon radish]

I'll try that, and then I'm gonna try closing FFXIV and opening FFIII.
I had two copies of FFIII in my game activity list on discord, so I want to see which one pops back up when I open FFIII. maybe ffxiv will miraculously appear after that too.

[edgy sail]

I was going to ask though, does SQEX normally reveal new job designs and expac skills at fan fest?

[modest igloo]

The one for ShB did

So prolly

Knock on wood

[edgy sail]

I can't wait then

[halcyon radish]

god, setting it to fullscreen put it on my fucking drawing tablet

still don't have it tho

in game activity

[fading helm]

i got bronze trimmed sacks

how do i open it

[halcyon radish]

as I mentioned it's not in the "add it!" box in game activity

[remote lintel]

go to the appraiser near the entrance npc

@halcyon radish change the main display

[fading helm]

i got quickarm materia iv is that good

[remote lintel]

not really

[fading helm]

do i have to do something to add it to my inventory

or is it just there now

[remote lintel]

no

[halcyon radish]

I did it didn't do anything, so I put it back in borderless windowed because it didn't fix the game activity issue anyways.

[remote lintel]

pretty sure you have to restart the game when you change main display

[fading helm]

if my armory is full do the items i get from this appraisal go straight to inventory?

[modest igloo]

You gotta take out the furniture

[remote lintel]

yes griz

[halcyon radish]

it goes to a vendor you can reclaim it from

[fading helm]

ok cool

[halcyon radish]

Oh yea

I also have an issue where FFXIV doesn't like to close when I hit exit game

and I have to open task manager and kill it

could that also be tied to the same root problem?

maybe....?'

somehow

[topaz osprey]

If i buy the lvl 70 boost do i unlock Samurai or I have to do the questline

[remote lintel]

ask in #technology-discussion

@topaz osprey its unlocked

[halcyon radish]

is tech very active?

[jade quartz]

It's active enough

[halcyon radish]

this channel has a lot of activity so I asked here first cus it is technically the questions one

[remote lintel]

yes it is

[fading helm]

if i cast a glamour prism on something can i change it back to to the original item after

[remote lintel]

yes

[gloomy mortar]

yes

where can i get this set?

[jade quartz]

Headpiece: YoRHa Type-51 aiming hood from the Copied Factory
Top: Machinist level 80 artefact gear
Boots: Rebel Boots, crafted

The gloves look like Punching Gloves but I'm not certain

I don't know the pants off the top of my head

[fading aurora]

thanx

its the best machinist set ive seen

and i wana copy it lol

[plain python]

does it worth to get extra twine/dusting with kupo nuts? I buy every vanity from the vendor already, and have prepared enough twine/dusting for a whole set

gonna take a few weeks for me to get full crypt

not sure i will have the will power to care for other set by that point.

[honest anvil]

if they help you get bis for your job, why not?

[little swift]

Can always wait until 6.0 when crypt becomes poetics if you want to gear alt jobs

[pulsar escarp]

I was looking at party finder for cloud deck ex, saw this (though duty completion) I didn't know what OW/EE meant? is that the phase they're on? Never done a high-end duty so I'm not sure

want to be sure I'm not joining the wrong party for first time stuff

[green grail]

"a few runs at least" would suggest it's a farm party, so you don't want that as a first timer

[vital ruin]

How do I get the remaining skills?
Onions?

[pulsar escarp]

then why did they put it down as duty completion I was also more asking about ow/ee

[plain python]

you don't need to equip or play the right job to grind resistance weapon?

[pulsar escarp]

maybe it was just 'a few runs at least' as prog

[green grail]

i think it's odds west evens east?

for the number mechanic

even if it's duty completion you don't want it as a first timer, you want one labeled [Practice]

[jolly sorrel]

[duty completion] tends to mean "in it to beat the fight, if you cant beat the fight, dont join please"

[pulsar escarp]

oh then tf

why do you need to say that

of course it's odds west even east

fk it I'll make my own party

the waymarks are easy

[leaden ginkgo]

what's considered a good countdown time for DF pugs

[pulsar escarp]

DF? uh. if there's a rdm I maybe give them 10

[shut panther]

as long as the quest is in your log the class you're playing is irrelevant for resistance weapons

[pulsar escarp]

five maybe. if it's easy then I prolly wouldn't bother and just go for it

still rdm like being able to do their actual rotation and opener

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm finally messing with macros on controller with mouse so I figured I'd start actually doing countdowns too lol

[shut panther]

Anything below ex I don't bother with a countdown tbh

[pulsar escarp]

pretty much lol

I only do it for rdms

cuz I understand the pain

[shut panther]

Ex and above I do 17

[pulsar escarp]

any reason 17 rather than 15?

[shut panther]

15 is where people need to hit buttons, so 17 gives them a couple seconds warning

[pulsar escarp]

ahh I see yeah

like on casual stuff w rdm I'll give them 7

but it isn't necessary at all

[leaden ginkgo]

most of the time I even bother with a countdown, no one does prepull stuff anyways so >.>

[pulsar escarp]

pretty much

[leaden ginkgo]

but yeah, thanks for the input ^-^

[pulsar escarp]

I just give option w rdm because I know I'd personally appreciate it but otherwise eh

[open ember]

I always ask for 20 secs

As a rdm

[pulsar escarp]

in a dungeon though?

[open ember]

Helps me with my opener

Oh

Lol no

[pulsar escarp]

lol

[open ember]

In dunegons I play lazy sometimes

[pulsar escarp]

yeah I just give minimum time for accel/verwhatever

if they want to do it

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah, the context is just casual DF content

[open ember]

I don't bother with countdowns in dunegons

In EX and savage... No countdown? Suffer

[shut panther]

Acceleration is to be used at -15 optimally, do that's what I work around

[pulsar escarp]

no countdown in ex/svg?!

[open ember]

I've seen it

Its. Ass

[shut panther]

Countdown in a dungeon is a piss take

[pulsar escarp]

it's only if it isn't a speedrun lmao

imagine satsasha...

[shut panther]

Your cooldowns are going to be all over the place anyway

No reason to give you a countdown

[leaden ginkgo]

if you're still learning I see why, since there's a chance you won't meet dps check/see it anyways, but there's no reason not to

[open ember]

SASTASHA COUNTDOWN LMAOO

[pulsar escarp]

waymarks

oh wait

I should do countdown for westwind next time

[open ember]

I still put way marks in Ivalice raids tbh

[pulsar escarp]

20 secs

[open ember]

Esp TG

[shut panther]

I countdown West wind for the memes yes

[pulsar escarp]

I should also make a macro for positionals

[leaden ginkgo]

I would put down waymarks if I could use my mouse for them while using controller

[open ember]

I have waymarkers saved so

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a 21 second countdown macro that's just the fitness gram pacer copy pasta if you want it

[pulsar escarp]

ahh, I was looking for you know the positional macros jp/eu uses? that kind of thing

I think it would be a hoot

[leaden ginkgo]

you could honestly just rip one off the current tier and just change the words

[pulsar escarp]

oh shit you're so smart

o7

[leaden ginkgo]

I keep getting told that, with no proof 😛

[hexed verge]

Returning player, made it through like 25% of stormblood when I played last time, was wondering how important Gil is at endgame for non-glamour purposes, like are consumables quite expensive for pushing content? I'd likely be playign with friends who are much more casual so I'm not sure I'd even need much consumables.

[open ember]

i forgot this was questions and help sORRY

[leaden ginkgo]

When the current tier is completely fresh, like day one, not only is the new market board gear rare, it's also VERY expensive. Same goes for Raid Food for their buffs and Tinctures, or Stat Potions that help you push dps to clear the fights easier. Assuming you don't get everything yourself, it can be VERY expensive

As the tier goes on, prices diminish by a good amount while the raid loot becomes more circulated/more parties are clearing with the gear they have already

[mental oracle]

what's the best way to get carpenter from 57 to 70 when you run out of levequest allowances?

[pulsar escarp]

however you COULD level and make these things yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

Craft everything you can at your level in your crafting log

[jade quartz]

Don't do that

Do Ishgardian Restoration.

[open ember]

Ishgard restoration

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh right, that exists

[open ember]

Is the best way to level up alongside leves

[mental oracle]

oh ok

[open ember]

Sure you need materials from Diadem

However its good exp

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah ignore me, I leveled everything before that so I keep forgetting it's there

[open ember]

And you get kupo stamps

[hexed verge]

I see, I dont see myself being trying to push new content as soon as it comes out, atleast currently. Maybe once I get closer to endgame I might change that

[hexed verge]

Yeah I might look into it, I've heard crafting is profitable in general and I had started to level up some DoL skills, haven't really looked at any of the DoL ones yet

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, for casual stuff, the Best in slot doesn't matter much anyways, so you can just get them as you have the money for it

[pulsar escarp]

omnicrafters in general are always very profitable both moneywise and for your own resources >:D

[leaden ginkgo]

Marketboard is very volatile with it's prices so you should know what to sell~~ unless you wanna be a baker and make a billion cookies using leve allowences~~

[pulsar escarp]

I'm heading towards cookie town personally

[leaden ginkgo]

you get a neat title if you do make money from leves

[hexed verge]

I see, yeah I'd be sure to look into the prices of stuff first if I ever do get to that point

[leaden ginkgo]

You can make money off of ishgardian restoration while also leveling it so there's an idea

The dyes you get from the scrips sell for a good sum, so you it's a good place to earn a little scratch and level them at the same time

[hexed verge]

Yeah I heard that was good the last time I looked at leveling DoH skills, but I haven't really looked into it

will probably be a job for the weekend though

[leaden ginkgo]

also I'm dumb, what's the command for a macro to turn the error off

[pulsar escarp]

./merror off or /macroerror off I think?

[leaden ginkgo]

does that not turn off "<tt> is not a valid target name"?

[pulsar escarp]

not sure at all! isn't target meant to just be <t> ?

[leaden ginkgo]

that's target of target

[pulsar escarp]

hmm, not sure. get someone else in here, I only use macro for salted earth and shirk

[leaden ginkgo]

I know it works, but the error is annoying for when I push it without a target of target

[obsidian patio]

Yes merror off will disable that error

You should be able to disable most error prompts in the character config

[leaden ginkgo]

Is that for overhead or chat also

or a better question, can I turn off error messages in logs

[obsidian patio]

Mainly overhead, but should include chat for some of them

[edgy sail]

How long would it take to get the dyeable artifact armor and first relic stage in eureka?

[obsidian patio]

Probably just a few days or so depending on how populated your Anemos instances are

[leaden ginkgo]

A good bit of grinding, a bit longer than the weapon if you're going full set. Depends on how religiously you go after NM's for it

[austere oar]

i feel bad for asking.. but how do i activate more quickbar slots? like the third and fourth row

[edgy sail]

I haven't touched eureka yet because it seems so complicated, but I was wondering how similar it is to bozja?

You can go to HUD settings and right click on hidden elements

[obsidian patio]

Also character config > hotbar settings

[mental oracle]

Can you trade your badly crafted collectable items somewhere?

[leaden ginkgo]

The only similarities for the first 2 areas are that you go to the big circles on your map that spawn and you murder what's in them

[obsidian patio]

If it’s below the minimum needed your only option is to sell it to a vendor for Gil if applicable

If not then you discard it

[mental oracle]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

Eureka's individual leveling system affects how much you can damage/get damaged by mobs at various levels

[austere oar]

thank you 😊

[edgy sail]

How about equipment? Doesn't it sync at ilvl300?

[leaden ginkgo]

It does

[edgy sail]

Do you need to have your relic base weapon equipped in eureka?

[leaden ginkgo]

There is certain gear available on the marketboard that affect your elemental value, i.e. how effective your type advantage for offense will give you

no, you can use any weapon

any job too

[edgy sail]

Oh, sweet

And I'm assuming your elemental level isn't leveled per job

Yeah, that would suck lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, Elemental level is specific to the character

after level 5, if you die and respawn without a rez, you get set back xp

[edgy sail]

Wait what?

Ok good to know, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, you can lose xp

Only if you release

[edgy sail]

That doesn't make any sense

[leaden ginkgo]

Well it's a ffxi mechanic

which the entire content is a love letter to

[edgy sail]

Oh yeah, I've heard you can get shantotto glamour from eureka too

[leaden ginkgo]

I've gotten her staff, I dunno about the rest

Oh, I figured out my problem, I was putting /merror off on the last line, not before the /ac spam

[vital ruin]

If I get a 3rd retainer via mogstation and I forget to repay do I lose the items kept with the retainer

[alpine shadow]

The items are kept in the retainer

So until you repay the 3rd retainer, you won't be able to get them back

[vital ruin]

Ah I c

Aslong as I don't lose them

[alpine shadow]

It would show up as "Suspended" on the retainer list ingame

[vital ruin]

I c
And once I pay I can access it right

[alpine shadow]

Mhm

[vital ruin]

My first retainer is DoM
Second is DoL
Should I make the third also DoL

Botanist or Fisher

Does botanist retainer gather ingredients for coffee biscuits

[alpine shadow]

I think it would be a random chance to get one?

[vital ruin]

Really? That sucks

I thought it'd be in one of it's late expeditions

[alpine shadow]

Coffee Beans you can get from lvl78 ventures

[vital ruin]

Ohh

You need the beans to make the biscuits?

Can a i348 CUL make HQ coffee biscuits

All handking gear

[alpine shadow]

Though, it is still random out of these items

[vital ruin]

Random isn't good since rng is shit

[karmic plank]

Can you complete the Heavensward story in 30 hours if you don’t do any side content?

[agile laurel]

gonna go for a 'probably' on that

[void cargo]

why are there more ppl playing on non-preferred world compared to preferred world? Don't people want the exp buff when levelling jobs?

[karmic plank]

Thanks I appreciate its hard to answer precisely haha

[honest anvil]

I think it’s having less people that makes a world preferred

and beyond that, the exp buff while nice, isnt that much a game changer

Learning a class properly is waay more than just hitting 80 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For example, i power leveled both smn and blm to 80 but then i decided to go back to old 60 70 lv cap dungeons to really learn them

just my exp ofc; others will differ

[vital ruin]

So I started tharmagure
What does those fire/ice orbs mean

What does transpose do exactly

[faint flare]

How many stacks of your stance you have

[vital ruin]

Why's everything resistant to sleep

[faint flare]

Transpose swaps your stance

[leaden ginkgo]

What are the restrictions on free trial accounts?

[vital ruin]

How should I keep my stance

[faint flare]

By casting same element spells and by using transpose

[vital ruin]

I'm more confused than I was initially

[honest anvil]

You dont hve to watch the guide til 80

[vital ruin]

Ohh

[honest anvil]

Watch the arr portion first

[austere oar]

do i need to keep every bait and tackle if i wanna get every fish in the game, or is there a bait/tackle that works for every area? can i remove the lower level ones or should i keep everything?

[faint flare]

If you want big/legendary fish you need their specific bait

Versatile lure basically gets every normal fish lv70 and under

[honest anvil]

Blm is also one job i’d recommend not power leveling ... take it slow to understand fire/ ice dancing and your movement tools @vital ruin

[vital ruin]

I c

I need something to powerlevel

Monk?

[honest anvil]

Depends on how familiar you are with melee and positional

The latter is crucial to getting good at mnk

Perhaps try a tank

[vital ruin]

I just wanna powerlevel till 30
Via deep dungeons

Then use PvP to level them up and levelling roulettes

Melees aren't unfamiliar to me tho I'm not really great at positionals cos I only have SAM and DRG at 80 and SAM didn't have any pos requirements on tooltip

[faint flare]

Samurai has positionals

Gekko is rear, kasha is flank

[mental oracle]

Can you automate synthesis button in the macro?

or do I have to always press "synthesize" and then press the macro?

[faint flare]

You cant

[oak ice]

SAM's positional text in the tool tip unlocks at 52

[vital ruin]

Holy shit I never knew

Only gekko and kasha?

[glossy flare]

yup

and it is easy to miss, the game tells you nothing about adding the positionals

[vital ruin]

Okay so if gekko increases kenki by 5 if use positionals and combo action by 5
Do I get 10 kenkis if I meet the criterias

[glossy flare]

correct

[vital ruin]

Nicee

[faint flare]

It's the only way you could generate kenki under 62

[vital ruin]

That's why I was like why yukikaze increases so much and the others gcds don't
I was doing it wrong

[oak ice]

Yukikaze by default increases it by 10

15 at 62+

[vital ruin]

Oh

[faint flare]

Tooltips update themselves when you unlock skills related to them and All, so it's always important to double check everything

[vital ruin]

True

[candid ruin]

any samurai here?

or someone who knows something about him

[glossy flare]

probably some ppl who know their way around SAM, yes

it's my go to melee at least

[faint flare]

only melee my small caster brain can take

[dusky lark]

lol

[glossy flare]

shhh, don't expose us

anyway, just ask

[faint flare]

[candid ruin]

cypher are u in game right now?

[oak ice]

Just drop the question, can't be answered otherwise

[glossy flare]

someone usually answers

nope, I'm not

[candid ruin]

well

on interent ive read

that sam

unlock positionals

on lv 52

[faint flare]

Yes

[candid ruin]

when he unlocks kenki

[glossy flare]

that is true

[faint flare]

They do

[candid ruin]

but

[glossy flare]

check your tooltips for Gekko and Kasha

[candid ruin]

i dont see any change in skills descriptions

[faint flare]

!action Kasha

[zinc orbit]

**Kasha** : lvl 40 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Shifu
Combo Potency: 480
Flank Combo Bonus: Increases Kenki Gauge by 5
Combo Bonus: Increases Kenki Gauge by 5
Combo Bonus: Grants Ka

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Flank combo bonus

[glossy flare]

also are you synced down right now?

[oak ice]

Those come when you unlock kenki mastery 1

[glossy flare]

to below 52

in which case the tooltip would revert

[faint flare]

Gekko will read "rear combo bonus"

When above 52

[candid ruin]

how

can i open tool tip?

'D

[glossy flare]

hover over the skill

I have no idea how it works on console though

[oak ice]

You have the whole skill menu on p

[faint flare]

Virtual mouse or action and traits

[glossy flare]

there you go

[oak ice]

Right there

[faint flare]

Under combo potency

[glossy flare]

flank combo bonus

[faint flare]

Second to last line

[candid ruin]

bruh

im

so

blind

what

the heck

[glossy flare]

it's fine

[oak ice]

Watch out for the spam filter

[candid ruin]

yeah, sorry, im just

no words

thanks

[faint flare]

Gekko says the same thing

Just rear instead of flank

[leaden ginkgo]

Im completely new to this game. What patron diety should I pick for my cute lalafell girl?

[glossy flare]

doesnt matter

[oak ice]

Irrelevant, same as birthday

[glossy flare]

it's pure roleplay choice

[leaden ginkgo]

ok 🙂

[candid ruin]

he has only those 2?

as positionals?

[glossy flare]

yes

[oak ice]

Yep

[candid ruin]

uff, nice change from monk xD

[glossy flare]

monk's just "Positionals - the Job"

[faint flare]

Samurai has the least, half tied with Ninja

[dusky lark]

Ok so this is a weird one but hear me out. I have been playing this game a long goddamn time. Got burned out on it. I want to play again but the FC I had is dead. I am the leader now and I don’t want to leave a fully decorated med house and 4 max rank subs that I built myself to the void. I also want to play a more healthy amount so maybe being an FC lead is not a great idea. Do you guys have any ideas on what I should do?

[agile laurel]

You could sell it. Transfer ownership

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh so many classes, which once are easiest for a noob? haha

[agile laurel]

People pay top for FC plots

[faint flare]

Any, they all start out really slow

And slowly introduce you to skills

[glossy flare]

and all classes are equally good

Only thing to note is the roles maybe

[leaden ginkgo]

I want something compared to a bm hunter from wow

[glossy flare]

Gladiator and Marauder are tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

or ret pala

[faint flare]

The core of things is PRESS YOUR BUTTONS

[glossy flare]

while Conjurer is a healer

Arcanist can become a healer OR a dps

so just choose whatever you like

[leaden ginkgo]

Is hunter fun?

archer*

[glossy flare]

that's highly subjective

archer becomes bard btw

if that matters to you

[faint flare]

Archer/bard is high apm with procs

[leaden ginkgo]

oh yeah right, at level 30

[faint flare]

Classes are just a formality for their respective job

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I name my female lalafell character as a 22yo man without it being cringe lmfao

[faint flare]

However you want

Guarantee that someone else has a worse name than you somewhere

[leaden ginkgo]

are both names displayed or only 1?

[faint flare]

Both

[glossy flare]

players can individually switch to initials if they want

[manic rune]

try a generator https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/lalafell-names.php

[glossy flare]

but that's just for them if they want that

[faint flare]

And npcs can refer you with either

Like Mr Last name

[leaden ginkgo]

I think maybe ill name it "Small Pascaldi" or something lol

[manic rune]

only if you're ok with being called Small by the npcs

[vital ruin]

Do I start with blizzard so I can transpose to fire

[leaden ginkgo]

Doctor Pascaldi it is

[faint flare]

You often do so you can use thunder for basically free

[vital ruin]

Thunder is rng under umbral ice?

[faint flare]

No

[vital ruin]

Ohh

Ohh deleting mp then ice

I c

[agile laurel]

Bard is a safe pick because I'd say on a relative scale it's the closer job to WoW

[faint flare]

It's your basic cycle

Spend mana on fire stuff, regen with ice

Repeat until shit is dead

[vital ruin]

I c

Do I thunder only during proc or all ways during ice

[agile laurel]

It's not SIMILAR but the most similar

[faint flare]

You want thunder up all the time

[vital ruin]

I c

[manic rune]

refresh thunder around when you have abt 2-3 seconds of the dot left

[agile laurel]

Spend proc if you need to refresh or you will lose the proc

[obsidian patio]

if you want to start doing thunder the same way you do so at max level: only refresh thunder when it's about to run out, and only use proc if it or the thunder is about to run out.

[vital ruin]

I c

[faint flare]

Even at higher level, you have enough time and mana to use 1 thunder in Fire stance

[vital ruin]

So basic dot management

[faint flare]

Without losing anything

[vital ruin]

Do I scathe only while moving

[obsidian patio]

if you need to, yes.

[faint flare]

Until you get far better skills

[obsidian patio]

Scathe is basically a last resort movement skill later on

[vital ruin]

I c

I'm lv 11 so I'll use it for now

[manic rune]

scathe is useful in copperbell mines at least

[agile laurel]

Scathe can honestly be safely removed from bars

[glossy flare]

scathe is a very very very last resort

and tbh I never used it after a certain point

[vital ruin]

Already removed sleep
I'll removed scathe later

[glossy flare]

sleep is at least somewhat nice when doing solo content

[vital ruin]

In potd everything's resisting it

Well some mobs

[faint flare]

Because mobs have status resistances

[glossy flare]

that's why I said "somewhat nice"

it's not great

but not completely useless either

[faint flare]

Typically trash can crowd controlled, bosses can't

In your normal dungeon

Sleep is only handy solo cause it's removed when the target is hit

So if you're struggling overworld vs multiple

[vital ruin]

I c

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I increase height? lol

I made it too small haha

[agile laurel]

Not without a paid change no

[faint flare]

Or waiting for the free fantasia via the story

[agile laurel]

Considering you just started, you may want to go round again

[leaden ginkgo]

im just gonna make a new taller

[glossy flare]

you get one free character edit as a lvl 50 quest reward

but yea, you just started, just redo it

[leaden ginkgo]

smallest lalafell girl was like a baby lmao

[glossy flare]

I mean

[strong saddle]

Pog

[glossy flare]

Lalafel do be pretty tiny

[proper patio]

As a new player, I should focus on doing the MSQ and the important quests(the ones with the "+" sign that unlock different things) and skip the side-quests, right?

[agile laurel]

I mean if you're a lala, tall lala still isn't very tall

[faint flare]

Yes

[proper patio]

sweet ❤️

[faint flare]

Anything in/under the top left are highest priority

[proper patio]

I've played a lot of mmos before and in most of them the side-quests were pretty important but they didnt seem like that here

[strong saddle]

But dont some sidequest give dungeons or glamour stuff?

[faint flare]

Yellow quests are lore

And ignorable

Blue quests unlock stuff

[strong saddle]

yeah thats what i mean

ny bad

[glossy flare]

Regular can be safely ignored. Though sometimes they do have nice rewards but never anything essential

unlock the important stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Is any job a ranged instant caster?

[obsidian patio]

only a few select yellow quests give glamour items, but there's very few of them

[leaden ginkgo]

Or does every ranged have cast time

[glossy flare]

all ranged physical jobs (like Archer/Bard) are instant

[faint flare]

Only casters have cast times

[glossy flare]

casters do have cast times

[leaden ginkgo]

nice

[glossy flare]

However red mage has an interesting dual cast mechanic

where every other spell you cast is instant

but that's it

(But you can't start as red mage anyway so don't worry)

[proper patio]

is arcanist a decent class for a beginner? Is it considered a healer class?

[obsidian patio]

arcanist is a dps

[faint flare]

It's a dps

It can become a healer later

[proper patio]

oh, thought so, but the healing spell made me think otherwise lul

[faint flare]

Physick is fucking GARBAGE

[glossy flare]

story spoilers, keep playing the story

[faint flare]

It heals like 200 Hp at 80

[obsidian patio]

in terms of overall difficulty, arcanist/summoner have a pretty decent learning curve

but it does get pretty technical at the higher levels due to inherent clunkiness with pets

[faint flare]

cant wait for Summoners 8th rework to delete them

[proper patio]

wait, only the arcanist has this Carbuncle pet?

[glossy flare]

yes

[faint flare]

To start

They get more later

[proper patio]

it feels really bad at start, I'm level 13 and its barely dealing like 2-3 damage

[glossy flare]

the pets are a core mechanic to Arcanist/Summoner

[proud willow]

Summoners can unlock the option to make their other summons look like Carbuncles

[faint flare]

Emerald is for aoe

[glossy flare]

to Scholar too tbh

[faint flare]

So it's less damage on single target

You get a single target pet at 15, and the better one at 30

[glossy flare]

yea, pet dmg will improve considerably as you level up and unlock more pets

[proper patio]

nice

[faint flare]

Just remnants of when Emerald was the Caster/magic type pet

[glossy flare]

and more pet actions too

[faint flare]

Now it's just the aoe pet

[proper patio]

people have been telling me that the first 50 levels would be really boring and slow and stuff but I'm only level 13 and I enjoy every single minute of playing. sry for the slightly off-topic

[glossy flare]

It's somewhat accurate

All jobs start out very slow

But if you enjoy it nonetheless then that's great

[faint flare]

It's boring mainly cause you have like 3 buttons

[agile laurel]

ARR is like jojo part 1, sometimes you find someone who likes it. It's subjective

[proper patio]

yea the combat can get a bit repetitive but the storyline and the way the game generally progreses kinda compensates for it imho

[civic flare]

So I’ve been building my BLM around akhmorning high speed build, but don’t have bis eden yet. Have 3650+ sps for jp opener. Unfortunately, my diamond x weapon takes away all sps. Is it worth remelding to do the crit build at 2000 sps just so I can use the 5 ilevel higher weapon?

[faint flare]

You can just see of you can swap out some other gear for more speed

[buoyant sorrel]

How many onions do I have to use for my chocobo?

[faint flare]

1 per extra rank up

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I see peoples text messages above their heads?

[glossy flare]

no

[faint flare]

No

[edgy sail]

Is hoh best exp/h for tanks and healers too?

At 61-70

[faint flare]

No cause their ques for dungeons are quick

[civic flare]

Unfortunately, you lose so much, there is no combo of 520 gear or melds that get you close to 3650 again

[faint flare]

Potd/hoh are better if ques are 15mins+

[edgy sail]

Oh alright

[glossy flare]

Leveling dungeons are the best in terms of xp, dps just go for deep dungeons because queye times make them better

Less wasted time and all

[edgy sail]

I'm assuming that number assumes that you're grinding fates and hunting log during queue?

[faint flare]

No

[glossy flare]

You still could tho

No harm in doing it

[edgy sail]

Alright, sweet

[buoyant sorrel]

Max level of chocobo is 30 yes?

[faint flare]

20

[obsidian patio]

the point gain from 11-20 still lets you max out all 3 trees

[buoyant sorrel]

So I'll miss out on an entire tree of skills

Oh

[marble plover]

is there a good guide on how to get past first storm lieutenant for the gc?

[edgy sail]

I think you need to do squadron missions until the point where you clear the level 40 test

[glossy flare]

do squadron missions, basically

there isn't much of a trick to it, just takes time

[pulsar escarp]

fashion report resets around thursday?

[glossy flare]

tuesday

[pulsar escarp]

ha

[glossy flare]

usual weekly reset time

[faint flare]

Tuesday but judging is friday

[pulsar escarp]

really? I swore I wasn't allowed to do it

AHHHhh

yeah that'll be it

[glossy flare]

yeah, so people have some time to figure it out

read: Kaiyoko figures it out for people

[pulsar escarp]

essentially yes

[marble plover]

i always miss stats for squadron

[buoyant sorrel]

Do i need to have a house in order to garden? With the deluxe bed

[gritty oracle]

Is there a way to quickly swap lost actions without opening up the holster, clicking on the item, then confirming which lost action to replace?

[faint flare]

Thats fine

Every stat met is a 33% chance

[gritty oracle]

yeah priority missions always have crazy high stat requirements

[faint flare]

Flagged missions however need all 3

[glossy flare]

unless it's a flagged mission

those require all 3

[obsidian patio]

yes

[faint flare]

Which you've done so just send them

[obsidian patio]

apartments/private rooms can only use the individual planter pots

[faint flare]

Nope

[marble plover]

hum ok

[buoyant sorrel]

Can i feed my chocobo onions all at once, or do I need to feed, level to max, then feed?

[obsidian patio]

you need to max out the experience bar and then feed them an onion

so the latter

[buoyant sorrel]

Ah sorry didn't see that on reply

Okie doki ty!

[obsidian patio]

for a visual example

[buoyant sorrel]

Ohh okay

Yeah my bird lookin like the second picture atm

Gave him the onion, now I have to rank him up

[leaden ginkgo]

can, i push party members in cities with malediction of water?

[agile laurel]

malediction of water iirc needs an enemy target

[uneven tendon]

Need to be engaged in battle

[agile laurel]

it just collaterals anything else

line aoes generally cant be cast untargeted

*on an enemy

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx

[manic rune]

don’t ask those kinds of questions here please

[strong saddle]

Is monk high skill ceiling

[glossy flare]

high-ish? Positionals are really important but you have the most tools of all the melee dps to invalidate them

Other than that it's a pretty static rotation

[fresh lodge]

Please refrain from asking inappropriate questions, thanks

[agile laurel]

used to be, now is kinda on par with the other melees

be careful you're reading up to date information with mnk, pre 5.3 mnk is a different beast to what it is now

[unique jolt]

Are there minions or mounts or anything useful or collectable that i can buy from vendors im close to the gil limit of free trial

[faint flare]

Arr beast tribe mounts after ranking them up enough

[tidal yarrow]

is there live letter or something going on?

[obsidian patio]

not currently

[warm snow]

Not yet
