the thing you posted is steampunky
thats the mch aesthetic
!iglam Augmented Scaevan Tabard of Aiming
where is this from?
Yeah so, Kael already said to move off that topic
I'm not worried about the gun I like the the dark outfit looks very futuristic to me
its lvl 80 mch job gear
sorry i just joined in, didn't see kael's comment
That usually lists the exact gear
no i mean what is the gear
Yeah a lot of that is lv 80
I wonder if there even is a hood before lv 80?
not really
I tried a ton and non show
yorha hood is pretty unique
They need to fix that
hey dudes, when farming light for the HW relics, what's most efficient?
There is the Scion Adventurer one and thats pretty much it
The Eyes of the Creator (Savage), also known as a9s, is the most common choice
A9S for party, Brayflox HM for solo
if you can't find/get a party finder group for it. brayflox hm is the common solo dungeon
but tbh any 50 dungeon you can do quickly works just fine
Is it possible to go from 50-80 in one day
Is this an alt job?
probably not possible no
No its possible, but you'd suffer
you'd need to spam potd and dungeons to 61, then hoh and dungeons to 71, and then bozja
Suffer in what way
you'd suffer
You'd spend the entire day grinding
roulettes and beast tribes get you like 2 levels
absolutely not worth the time to do
then you would just grind from there
I've already been grinding Tsukyomi ex 10 hrs a day for the last 4 days
How bad can it be
longer than that
much longer than that
its just time investment and how lucky you are with queues if you do it alone
but a day would quite literally be a day
you'd be playing for upwards of 20+ hours just to get those 30 levels
doing roulettes and beast tribes and spamming dungeons as a healer still took me like 2-3 days for 10 levels
and that was the fastest ive grinded 10 levels
I just want to hit 80 to use the outfit lmao
wanderer's palace is pretty fast too
it took me 2 days of 8hrs of bozja to get a single class from 71-80
Idk why I'm so desperate
you would still need to do the EX to get the top and bottom
I already have them
and nobody really does that ex anymore
Can I buy health potions anywhere? Like Hi-Potions or Mega-Potions?
health potions aren't really useful
probably at some main city vendor, but they deprecate so quick
basically useless
from vendors in the main cities but potions become obsolete real fast
Aprox how deep into the story is western thanalan? I really want to get some cute glamour. Im currently doing the second duty in the main story quest line
you can just walk there
assuming you didnt start in limsa tho
theyre in the second dungeon
They said they're at the second duty
if you stick to the main roads you'll encounter the least amount of random mobs
thank you for this, I'm laughing way too hard at how quickly the bosses are dying
the npc offers another quest as well, so only one of them can be shown on the map at a time
has squex ever removed the genderlock of any mogstation set?
when making my PLD SB relic, do i need to do it alongside the shield?
ill buy the game if it means I can get a cute outfit haha
the relic is both the sword and the shield
You won't be able to buy much starting out
yolo
soo whats it mean when it says a character cannot be created on this world at this time?
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
You can buy cute glamour outfits for real money on the Mogstation
yes
im a big spender if it means my loli is gonna look cute
do worlds matter as much as data centers when trying to play with friends?
No
not unless you want to be in their fc
whats an fc
free company
Guilds
guild equivalent
Basically
aah
They're primarily social stuff
what about uh pvp
the only pvp modes that arent dead are the 72 man ones and ranked pvp
Is there a way I can inspect and try on the sets in game so I know what they will look like on my character?
Right click try on
Press the save outfit button in the try on window to try on multiple items at once
where can I find them?
Everywhere
literally wherever you find gear
Everything is glamour
I found it on the website
If you like the look
if you dont see the gear in game then you cant try it on
So I cant try on the reindeer costume set for example, that I see in the website store?
not unless someone links you it in game
alright
or you use 3rd party tools
ah maybe i cant join exodus or lamia because of the xp boosts, alot of people maybe?
wait for off hours
@lunar shale what I did to enter a xp boosted server that was full was spam the character creator button
There is normally a que of 20 people to go on those servers and if u force it someone will eventually log out as u press it
feels frustrating to have to ask this, how do you queue up for certain specific floor brackets in potd?
You can start at 51-60 when you complete floor 50
Can only queue for floor 1 or 51
Q: I'm about to start leveling up crafters/gatherers. If I rotate between them all and keep a similar level, will I be (mostly) self sufficient?
Heya , a few friends of mine are trying to get to PotD 200 .... we tried to start as a fixxed party and matched but we cant go over 100 ๐ it keeps saying we cant continue with that save file , what are we doing wrong ๐ฎ ?
Has to be fixed to go past 100
If you wipe you can't go to floor 101+
And be fixed
Oh there's your answer
We didnt wipe , we get kicked out at 100 and it says we cant continue ๐ฎ
We did fixxed and still cant go further ^^ we tried both
Cuz you matched the other 2 players
By kicked did your duty timer expire
is there a way to hid other players names?
Or did you clear it

they would be considered Other PCs right?
we did clear it
since im at 41-50, can i make a party of 4 and queue for it like that? or must i just use duty finder
Wow! When was this added?
@cosmic parrot yes
If you're matched you have to stay with matched
@thick sapphire a while ago
ok
bet, big thanks
Otherwise you need to go all the way from floor 1 with a fixed
so we go as matched or fixxed ? to go further then 100
in 5.3
Fixed and not wipe at any point
Another Q: does the XP bonus item you get from referral bonus apply to crafters? I know the brand new ring doesn't, wondering if I should just wait
yea so we need fixed to progress further then 100 ?
Yes
yes works on crafters since they can equip it @indigo bluff
Okay Ty, looks like I'll wait.. 50 days to level em up lol
Oh wait it's only to level 25.. pfft
I upgraded, but it didnt work. it took my money but I still have trial ๐ฎ
how do I change the enemy casting bar in hud settings? Which option is it
As a BRD, songs and Dots should not be synced together right?
Because Dots are 30s, and songs are 80s
nvm the mail was just slow
It's tied to the target bar. There's an option to split the target bar in to separate elements in its settings.
it does take a moment to register y'know
thank you!
Yea, i just need to find where I put in the code lol
mog station
found it ๐
How good/noob friendly are Dragoons?
Good and quite
All jobs are good
And jobs start slow and introduce you to skills slowly
Appreciate it :>
Alright, I have a big dumb question. What the heck is up with Steropes, the FATE boss? Why is he supermassively thicc?
world boss

That makes some sense
Two DPS and a tank managed about 10% of its hp in two minutes
spam one skill, rotate songs, use procs according to priority
Ninjas require inputs for jutsus and whatnot and otherwise hit from behind
you dont spam one skill
Oh, that's exactly the answer I was looking for actually
Well yes, I oversimplified
bards rotate through songs and each song has a different effect on their skills
But I'm assuming it's just
Use skills when cooldowns are up, rotate songs accordingly
the point is that Bard is "Procs - the Job"
they don't have a rotation as such and more of a priority system
Keep dots up, rotate songs, play wack a mole with procs
bards are just dancers with more adhd
it's true, brd has surprisingly high apm
My first Melee class is at 79.8
So like
This next MSQ dungeon and I'm 80
so I'm thinking about what to train next
You see this? This right here is why I like this discord
Same.
they get incredibly busy at higher level
you have to keep track of a lot but its fun
I used to play Ninja but then it stressed me out so I stopped
Jutsus bugged me and whenever I got the inputs wrong on them I'd feel bad
Does Black Mage hit a particular power spike in terms of skills? Or does it just keep going up? I recently got Blizzaga (blizzard 3) and Firestarter and the damage is so bonkers, I love it
!action xenoglossy
60
This is the big booms
and then like triple flare for shits and giggles on top
still has lower pot than white mage
I mean I got Ninja to 60 before I was like

'Eh, I'll come back to this later'
you're forgetting the astral fire multipler but yes
Fire 3 is bad spammavle damage
Then switched to tank and shot to like, 70 mad fast
This was like 2 years ago though
I love Fire 3 now that I have firestarter
Youโre telling me I can spam Fire and get Fire 3 for free? On instant cast? Just for doing my job?
black mage has the most instant casts of the casters
are there any unspoken rules or mannerisms I should follow if I decide to take on a mentor?
Just ask them for an invite to novice network
the exp boost isnt really worth it
It literally does nothing
it only applies to overworld mobs
That sounds terrible
Unrelated note, is it normal to be 10 levels overleveled for the main quest?
absolutely
Yup
more or less
ye
Which is fine. You sync down for the duties and trials anyway
suffer
F
omg, look at all these cool spells I get to not cast against the boss
So I'm pretty sure I used to mail stuff to an alt back in the day as a "banker"... it seems that function is now gone away. Am I just SOL if I have gil and material on some junk bank alt that I don't intend on playing?
on different data centers yes
on the same data center you need a 3rd person or use the mb to transfer money
wow that sucks. I have an alt with tons of crafting materials and food
|| pets are getting removed wtf? Isn't that the main thing making a summoner a summoner ||
oh wait - nevermind I think they are just retainers. My memory is so bad these days ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
nothing definite, but pets will be changed from their current state yes
but summoner, as a FF job mainly revolves around channeling summons for spells
so I trust the job fantasy will remain intact
We don't know anything yet. Wait until Friday :p
how would we know lol
what happens on Friday?
Fanfest
fan fest
We get expansion info
Fanfest, 6.0 full trailer + details
@modest igloo there's tons of people around who apparently know from leaks and stuff I guess
We don't know anything
leaks aren't confirmation
All yoshi said about Summoners is that they've backed themselves into a design corner, so they paused egi glamours to rework the job
How it's reworked, fuck knows
I really need to figure out how to get a grasp on my inventory. I have so much crap on my charcter, armoury and now between 2 retainers. How do you folks manage it?
don't use this channel as a means to speculate the validity of leaks for now. if its a leak, its untrue until shown it is
sell crafting materials
Don't horde nats
what would a gear token be?
Things from 8man raids
the tokens from the old raids
I have so much gear hoarded because I only have a level 63 PLD, all other jobs are effectively untouched.
then rank up your gc and turn them in for seals
I doubt I have any of them. Don't think I've ever done a raid in this game
screenshot your inventory

You can junk/sell basically all the mats
for your armory chest: if it's not assigned to a gear set, toss it
And faded rolls
anything with "Shop selling price:" get rid of it
you can buy it from a vendor somewhere
use the circled items
Is hitting IJ twice during RS (once at the start, once at the end) not advised?
You're meant to afaik
Why sell all these mats? I like crafting...?
are there any faded rolls one should keep? ie, that you can't buy on MB?
Unless stuff changed
do you need the mats RIGHT NOW? no? sell them
yeah analysis slams me for it which is why i wndered
What are faded rolls?
Cause you can easily get it back
even the HQ ones?
most of those faded scrolls aren't going to sell well
faded rolls are used by alchemist to make music rolls
you dont need them
sell them
unless you really need them, just sell
are there any faded rolls that are one time items?
no
i'm scared to dump my 100 faded rolls
yes
so faded rolls are useless even if you like the concept of music?
maybe they are easy to get the completed version?
honestly i just buy the complete music rolls off the mb if i really want it
you just just buy the music
complete version is usually not that expensive
barring a few like the coil/most recent extreme
music rolls are dirt cheap on the MB 90% of the time
and use the envelopes
ok so just sell every single crafting material?
Yeah I see a Ij in the opener so you can probably ignore 1 yelling at you for that part
the answers roll goes for like 200k on my world for some obscene reason
you have like a million sitting in your inventory
and people actually buy it at that price
do you need the mats RIGHT NOW? no? sell them
twinning was a few mil for the music roll when it came out
http://ffxivrotations.com/23ue opener I see on balance
keep the skybuilders stuff if youre going to craft with them
put the treasure map in your retainer if youre not going to use it
not the same for reopeners? I do IJ twice every RS and it says I'm wrong
sultana Dreaming goes for 150k! ๐ฆ
Like one at the start of Rs and one at the end?
yes
I'm nosing at balance and they say only use Ij either at the end of Rs, or if dots would fall during it...so only 1 Ij during raging
Just so you get the full potential of those dots for that gcd
are these reddish items worth keeping for alt jobs or shoudl i just sell al lthis crap?
Sell, aetherical stuff except accessories are gone
Guess I'll hae to farm all this ore again though
it wont take a significant amount of time anyways
do you need the ore for any recipes youre doing?
if not then theres no point to hoarding it
I mean I eventually will when get to craftingafter I catch up on MSQ.
I wan t to catch up on MSQ (I'm on 3.5 content) and then do crafting.
You can try to throw some of the mats up on the MB. I've found large stacks sell for a lot more than the NPC shops.
I am trying to specific-queue for The Ridorana Lighthouse for the unlock questbut I have been sitting in queue for almost 50 minutes. Is this a normal wait time for this raid? Is this not included in the Duty Roulette for others?
what role
healer
It is included in the alliance raid roulette
try dps if you have it
If I have Join Party in Progress selected, does that ONLY try to match me with parties in progress?
no
ok
just chiming in that this inventory discussion has been very helpful to this lurker. thanks!
thanks everyone
what is number "A" for triad card
Ace
Ace, basically higher than 9
ace vs ace means no flip?
on standard rulesets thats correct
what do you mean it's gone? Like it cna't be equipped?
with the 5.3 changes they removed Aetherial weapons from the loot pool in ARR dungeons
does that mean I can't even glamour it?
You can if you still have kt
You just can't get them again
Cause aetherical items are really stupid and hated by everyone
they share models from other existing weapons
if you like the look chances are it drops from the dungeon or can be bought from a vendor
ah ok I don't remember what hte deal was with Aetherial items
Is there a way to get more slots in the armoury chest?
randomly generated stats
ah ok
so garbage
(small tangent: Heavensward gear technically went up to 280 because the Diadem used to be a combat zone which dropped 280 aetherial gear. your mileage varied.)
Thanksf or the help. I have a lot of work to do to clean this up.
So much crap to relearn haha.

at what point should I switch from trial to full game? cause i cant really tell what im not able to do in the trial, this trial seems really generous
!faq freetrial
if you want to not be blocked by social features and the gil limit
The good news is that the free trial is really generous
whats a linkshell
group chat channel
Private chats
oh. group chats that dont require guilds or anything?
Think of Linkshells as group texts IRL.
Yes
correct
You ask for invites and now you have a chat channel
Usually they're between friends or for a specific thing
bet bet, im reading this trial limitation list, and it really seems like I can just play the trial for a long time without worry
Like hunts or treasure maps
1-60 is like hundreds of hours of gameplay. Kind of absurd.
Hi, do you know when prefered server change ? is the time defined ? do they change usually or not ?
They post it on lodestone too when they change server statuses
oh each patches... thanks ^^'
im thinking about switching to full membership when I hit 50 so i can take on some of those classes, that doesnt seem like a bad idea, no?
If you want to
I mean, it's $13/mo Plus the cost of the game. your call based on your financial situation.
but that's pretty low barrier
i thought it was 15
!faq subprice
whats entry?
it literally says right there
a subscription tier
limit of 1 character per server, max 8 characters total.
oh
so basically, I'd say an overwhelming majority of players play at entry tier
is it cause you do everything one 1 character anyway?
yes
Yep.
so there would be like, 0 downside to playing entry
None at all
Basically only reason to do any alternative characters is if you're maximizing lockouts or want different character styles.
unless you want alts
exciting
0 downside.
That's one character on every DC
Which is the only reason for alts really is playing on another DC
well thanks for the info. The game seems to be way more accessible the more I hear
FF14 is like the casual MMO player's dream.
btw, levequests are basically just dailies right?
theyre repeatable quests
At least to me. I hate the go go go go rush grind in many other MMOs. I lvoe that this plays just like a single player RPG, but I have the benefits of multiplayer when I want it, and I get hte feel of living world due to it as I navigate.
Not daily, but limited by your allowances, which you earn 3 every 12 hours
I think Leves are kinda niche. Mostly just useful for leveling gathering and crafting jobs. It's kind of a relic in the game.
ye, i sorta understood it when the npc explained it to me. Are there actual dailies or are leves in placement of dailies
the coffee biscuit leve makes a decent amount of gil
beast tribe quests are dailies
You can argue it's a little overshadowed by Ishgard restoration for leveling but it is very good and it's definitely not like, a relic
Leves are just repeatable quests
That you can only do X number of times depending on your allowance, which caps at 100
and you get what, 5 per day granted to you?
so if you knock outa ton of them and go away for a couple days you can come back to a nice buffer.
So 6 a day
There are no alternatives to getting most mog station cosmetics, right?
But leves are fine for "regular" jobs too if you're just looking for something to break up the questing process.
@storm plume no
mog station items are either put there directly or they were in the game and now unobtainable
a broom? 
controller vs keyboard?
I like the lil witch broom mount
its preference
normally mmos dont have good controller support but ive always thought it felt clunky, was gonna give it a shot
I hope youโre having fun. Iโm basically learning the game all over again after being away for a year. I have to recap the story from where I left off which I fear is gonna be a commitment.
When do classes upgrade to their full form
!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.
Ty
All the cosmetics I want currently are so terribly far out of my reach
hence the saying "glamour is the true endgame"
uh, i believe I am, I havent been into many MMOs, i touched a bit of WoW and played a lot of ESO. But this game is looking very very attractive so far due to tanks actually being fun to play
Shame we arenโt on same server. Iโm looking for someone to play with haha.
you can play with anyone on your datacenter
for you, meaning anyone on any of the aether servers
im in crystal
i know
But good to know I guess.
wth
a friend of mine stated cross data center play was coming with next expansion i beleive?
i bought game
5.58 maybe
didnt got confirmation email and game still on cart
i dont really know the limits, but thats what i heard
Who did you buy through
also, i heard that belts were getting removed in next expansion? or was that false info
no its correct

belts are going away
but the gucci belt, are there like, no rare belts or smthn for them to be removed?
Just because itโs kind of a superfluous slot?
Won't we lose a lot of stats if they remove belt
no they said belts are but a small stat incease
So numbers are already going down
almost nothing
oh, so its an all around number change
They said that the stat squish will not affect your damage or hp they will just be smaller , removing belt will actually remove stats
So not like they'll be missed

Take care all. Thanks for the help. Great community.
Since it's combined with the squish, we won't notice it
Since the belt removal will be considered apart of the squish
Just the best chance to adjust numbers as a whole
What's the point of removing it , are they too lazy to make a 6th gear slot item every expansion
are belts visual?
No
Belts are just small stat sticks
They don't really provide much and the loot table continues to grow as more jobs are added
Plus we save tomes since its 1 less gear we need to buy
Savour those extra...395 tomes
I was expecting people to be over 500k hp etc next expansion but we will probs be at max 50k lol
we're not even at 200k hp
unless you're a tank
Some tanks are 200k+
A Dps example was given... Something along the lines of "if my Fire 4 does 60k damage, after squish it would be around 10k"
Tanks are barely at 200k
so housing is like, actual real estate?
like, im in a ward, and all these people are actual neighbors?
hmm, is it me or Alisaie possesses much deeper feelings towards main character, than other companions
What is the current end game gear progression?
@cosmic parrot yes
Yes

!faq gearguide
She does very much look up to us and tries to be our equal
but all the slots are full in these wards, do you actually have to buy your house from other players
No, there is definitely something else
it goes on a demolition timer if a person doesn't go into their house within 45 days
its hero worship effectively
Alphinaud is hero worship. She behaves differently
Plus she's more say Emotive than the others
wait so after a month and half you lose your house if you dont use it?
you could read it as a teenage crush
and then a timer starts for it to sell, random and hidden between 30 mins and 24hrs
Yes
that's more like it tbh
@cosmic parrot yes you need to enter your house at least once every 45 days
well, "use" you just need to walk into your house occasionally
Did the Fanfest begin?
Not yet
scary
Nice
i read there were roommates as well, what if ur roommate goes and you dont
but houses are finite and as such are in high demand so
do you lose your rights to it?
there aren't really roommates
Tenants do not count towards stopping the demolish timer
you yourself need to enter the house
Only house owners can reset the demo timer for personal
has to be the homeowner
How much do houses cost again?
depends on the size
!faq housing
Land pricing
It's actual proper proper housing
why even play the sims, FFXIV is the same and cheaper
Rather than instances housing
There's a new housing district coming in 6.1 though, so that's probably the best chance to get a house
we said it was like real housing for a reason
good luck fighting everyone else for a house in the first place
so from what I understand with all this knowledge, is that I wont ever own a home
Aren't there apartments
nah you will
Yes

Are they as expensive?
if you really want a house you can and will
you can own a house if you have the dedication for it
Apartments are 500k
Why does that sound familiar? 
apartments are always 500k
And are permanent
there's a finite number of apartments as well
are there guild/free company homes?
yes
guild homes are just regular homes
What's the difference between a house and a apartment apart from size
we can remake the friends apartment
no
Houses have multiple floors
@fading aurora an apartment is 1 small room
Apartments are 1 room
there's no outdoor space, for another thing
save for 6.1 :) get a house in another district besides ish
for a casual MMO this seems kinda ruthless 
Hi, what Materia best for WHM and is it the same for SCH and AST?
follow meld priority
piety to comfort > sps to tier > crit > det = dh
thanks ๐
is there a way to mark a quest on the map with controller so it either marks a waypoint or has like a ground path to follow? i get lost easy lol
Can I not recolor items that I made into glam?
there is no pathing in this game
You can set flags on the map that will appear on your minimap
Flags are placed on the map with L1+R1
but i dont see a flag on my minimap
maybe im like too zoomed in on the map or something
You unlock dyes in the same place you unlock glamour
Colour your World
can I see playtime left on the website or something?
Mogstation shows days left
I have the same poor sense of direction. Good luck. I suck at getting lost IRL even worse than in game.
where is that
!faq mogstation
But if youโre using recurring subscription you need to look at your email confirmations for when youโre about to pay/have paid and make a mental note
thats insane that theres no pathing or directional arrow just to point you in the right direction with an mmo this big
use map
If you're in the same zone as it, the mini map points yku
If it's in a different area, the quest name is next to the zone transition
Yeah you can have it up while you walk around. I can't think of a lot of difficult terrain to navigate, honestly. The cities are dense, but you get used to it.
Teleporting is cheap enough to at least get you in the zone, so travel doesn't take all that long.
the map tells you which exits lead to which zones
what's the fastest level 50 dungeon to run for WT?
Basic Instinct doesn't stack with sprint right
correct
Sprint hard overwrites everything
Basic Instinct and Sprint give the same movement speed
But yes for movement speed increasing skills, only the biggest one applies
i used a friends recruit code before buying a sub. I have 45 free days of sub total before buying 30. Can i get my friendship circlet now by buying a 30 time card?
yes

So, I've seen tanks solo cluster farming a few times, just pulling massive numbers of mobs and AoEing them down. Which lost actions and essences are they using to pull that off? I know I've seen them using Swift for that extra run speed. I assume they're probably using one of the Bloodsucker essences?
is there a way to turn off that annoying little auto-attack your character does in melee despite not being given any command?
Bloodsucker
Minimum
no
and it is technically dmg
sooo... I wouldn't want to turn it off
I assume Deep Essence of the Bloodsucker at a minimum
When I solo cluster farm, I run Spellforge and Lost slash on warrior
i'm supposed to be able to find a "calamity salvager" in weavers guild to buy eureka weapon but i can't find it. any tips?
Normal bloodsucker is fine
Ah, ok
its not in the weavers guild
Not in, by. It's in the courtyard where blue people are
That makes it sound like you're telling them to look for the Blue Man Group...
Ah, Lost Slash, that probably explains it
Or smurfs.
800 potency combined with Bloodsucker will keep you nice and topped up
hmm i dont see it ๐ฆ
how long is a single expansion's story compared to ARR
In between the weaver and miner aethernet shards is where the calamity salvager is
sure it's damage... but it adds like 15s to my timer because that little auto attack triggers the mob to spawn minion that tether to him and make him invulnerable... i could 1-shot it with Inner Release and Nascent Chaos if not for that auto attack.
Slightly shorter since post story ARR is a bit longer
They're also in gridania by the amphitheater
thank you!
@lilac thicket then move out of range or deselect the boss
^
auto attacks are still important in terms of dmg, it can add up over a longer fight
also jobs like pld actually generate resources from them
like it or not, they are a thing
Auto attack only triggers when all of the following conditions are met:
You are in combat
You are targeting an enemy
You are in range of the targeted enemy.
If any of those conditions are not met, you won't auto attack.
^
stupid bards smacking ppl with bows
there are for bard
wat
phys range have ranged autos?
I was living a lie
physical ranged have autos
idk why they wouldn't
sure but how do you expect me to hit with nascent chaos if im not in melee and not having the boss selected?
i accidentally pulled tsukuyomi EX by targeting 
I always just assumed they don't because casters only have melee autos
as a bard
but nvm
What enemy are you struggling with?
And have you considered that the problem you're having is a mechanic?
And not actually a problem?
im lvl38 but msq lvl20, so im one hitting and getting underleveled gear, is this normal or can i manage to stay on an equal level
not struggling with it, just being annoyed as all hell. Doing Light Farm for warrior relic and he spawns imp at the end of tam-tara
and then it says to talk to gerolt to start upgrading the weapon, but he just pushes me away haha
if youve done it multiple times to identify that its a problem, then you should know at which point in the fight the invuln gets triggered, so move out of range for like 1 sec to prep fell cleave
It's normal. You gear to MSQ level.
That's a mechanic. It's not something you can avoid afaik.
gear to msq level?
You need to do Krile requests in eureka to be able to talk to gerolt
thanks i think i got it
Yes. As long as your gear more or less matches your MSQ level, you'll be fine.
i literally avoided it with dragoon by 1-shotting him with the most powerful jump crit
im mostly using gear from the class quest for arcanist guild
which is closer to my lvl
That's fine
That's fine then.
at level 13 rn in Gridania, what are the music themes for battles?
overgeared yeah xd
I know it's only, like, 3, but there's a song in particular that's been in my mind
how do i get eyes open buff on sam
need to be more specific
get hit @dapper pelican while third eye is on
Get hit when third eyes is up
alright
A video showing me levelling up my lil Chocobo fighting around The Black Shroud with all but the BGM muted. The battle theme is called The Land Bends and can be found in game and on the newest OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of a larger playlist, hear the rest of the game's music here:

but what is thrid eye
!action third eye
OOOOH
That
put up your shield at the right time essentially. you got like. two secs? three secs? lol almost never use the healing. two buttons will glow if you got hit at right time
its not a shield
its a short defensive cd
damage reduction
I think the one I'm looking for was in fate quests sometimes
just shove it on raidwides if you know you can time it right

THAT'S the one!
can i change dye of an item which is already in glamour dresser?
yes
that's the standard BGM for FATEs
i dont have to take it out?
no
great, thanks
Can someone confirm if I got Y'Shtola theory right? ||She said that Zodiark primal, thus Elidibus is also a primal, as a part of Zodiark. The primal, that feeds upon desire of salvation. Therefore, as Elidibus was constantly raising different champions throughout the time, he's not only the Ascian primal right now, but a primal fed by countless nations on all shards altogether, which kinda should defeat his purpose of committing Rejoining, because "everyone is your family now"?||
not the last part
||he was using the different heroes throughout time because they stood as a symbol of salvation, thus feeding off the people's desire for salvation. he still wants a rejoining because he wants to ressurrect all those who were sacrificed to summon zodiark||
he has the same goal as all the other ascians
Yes, I know. I was asking what Y'Shtola tried to say him in the end, what thought to deliver
She didn't just spit it out for nothing, right
||she was saying that because primals are formed from so many people's thoughts and wishes, how can he know that what he's doing is his own goal, and not just the goal of everyone who summoned him||
||like where does elidibus's desires begin vs the people's desires||
||That's kinda strange thing to say, considering nobody ever wanted Rejoining, except for Ascians. And Elidibus never forgot about his only goal||
i just got the quest that unlocks materia and my bond with an item has to be 100% but by the time that i get there its an underleveled piece of gear that has to be replaced?
so do i just do the materia thing at max lvl gear
you want to know what armor is that?
Yes
i cant get to 100 quick enough
||no, they wanted salvation, so eidibus's goal is an extension of that because by defeating hydaelyn he would be "saving" his civilization|| @high otter
ok makes sense
100% spirit bond means you can right click the piece of gear and "extract materia"
no, it's the armour i'm wearing
this will spit out a stat gem for you
thats all it does @sleek spoke
you posted it in the wrong channel, rain
it's questions and help btw ๐
#glamour-discussion ๐
my apologies xD
and when i extract the materia i can put it onto other gear to make it morr powerful?
yes thats the basic idea of it. but the materia you can extract now, isn't really good enough for max level gear
Materia adds a small amount of additional stats to gear.
The lowest level materias only add like, +2 to the stat.
Current materia are +60
so whats the best thing to do with all the gear i have acquired so far and dont use anymore? cos its quite alot
Sell it
||Okay, but I still fail to see how is that a problem for Elidibus, if he's still doing absolutely the same thing as he was in the beginning, literally nothing changed throughout thousands of years||
Or level crafter and desynth it
Green and higher quality gear can be traded to your GC for seals once you unlock that.
Problem is that I don't understand how Y'Shtola theory changes anything
Desynth gives materials which can possibly be sold for better gil on the market board if you have retainers
Remember this: ||The duty of the person who holds the Seat of Elidibus is to Guide the star on its natural course. Has he forgotten the duty of his seat over the desires of the people||
||her theory is just that elidibus is the heart of zodiark and that hes a primal, thats all she was saying||
hmm okay then
||before then we didnt know that he was also a primal||
Can I make it so the action bars arent clickable
ok ty
so I can click through them
I thought she tries to make him doubt or smth
she was taking a dig at him more or less
Is there a way to get black interior housing walls?
Dye blank partitions?
Its not really possible for me to cover all the walls of the floor with partitions
it doesnt go all the way around and it clips through the stairs
That's the only way I know of. There may be wallpaper or something you can use as well, but that would be something that housing people would know better.
yep.. can youtube some stuff but it is absolutely possible to do what you claim is not, just gotta toy with it
can always just use a dark wallpaper like alpine
||What is the reason he encouraged people to become Warriors of Light again? In the First. To simply feed upon their desire? How does it help him to bring Rejoining exactly?||
||To stop the Warriors of Darkness, because "Darkness is bad and needs to be destroyed, oh evil people stop them". If he kills us, he removes us from the picture and can set the First back onto the course to be oversaturted with Light once more to resume rejoining with the Source||
question, i have thyrus now.. where can i get the next upgrade q ?
for thyrus zenith
no quest for it, you just buy 3x thavnairian mists with poetics and chuck thryus and the mists into the furnance behind drake in north shroud
||Lmao, what, why darkness is bad, if the world literally worships darkness, while being nearly destroyed by the light? The fact, that Warriors of Light tried to save it AGAINST THE LIGHT doesn't make darkness bad||
||Because not all people know Darkness isn't bad. It's a very common misconception for alot of people that Darkness = bad and Light = good. Elidibus lies and manipulates people and words||
Well, yes, but ||denizens of the First know how things work, no? As I said, they were nearly destroyed by the Light and Warriors of DARKNESS are the heroes from the legends. Does Elidibus truly believe people wake up next morning, forgetting everything?||
If you haven't caught up to shb then don't worry about it lol
i unlocked my first ARR trial, bowl of embers. why is it only 4 players? arent trials like 12
the original 3 trials are 4 man
also wtf is up with these long queuing times on omega
The first three trials are 4 players
ahh ok
This was before they had a standard for how duties worked
A discussion on shadowbringers story
after vinyl answers, should probably take it to #archived-lore-spoilers if you have more questions about it
when i block a player on blacklist with a char, is he blocked with every char on account ?
no
||They don't know how things work on a meta level. Everything in Post Shadowbringers has been setting up people to believe that Heroes are Warriors of Light, as it's basically a title. The people just want to help out the world they're in, and Elidibus is basically using that desire to help to fuel and summon spectres. Again, Elidibus is very very good with his words and manipulation||
@high otter ||i'm pretty sure elidibus wanted to awaken people to the echo in hopes that they would remember what happened to amaurot, or he just wanted to sow chaos||
...
what should i expect from my first trial on ffxiv? i come from eso so idk how comparable it is
Is it safe to go there though? I didn't start 5.4 and 5.5 yet, let alone any side chains
Trials are just a single boss fight
Just state where you're at in the story
So people know how much they can say
And story fights are kinda a joke
I'm afraid of occasionally reading other spoilers xd
its a risk you have to accept to take because keeping this here is not good either
because its just filling the chat with black bars
fair enough
Rotation wise, most jobs are more set in stone and donโt use a loose set of priorities
oh vinyl is right, ||elidibus wanted to use the "new warriors of light" as fuel to become THE warrior of light||
5.4 and 5.5 move on from the story so it's not super related either
So not too big of a worry
Remember that basically 5.3 ends the proper expansion story with 5.4 and 5.5 settings up for the next part
Click their name in the chat window or in the contacts menu
bring up Contacts via the menus on the bottom right under Social, and do it from there
thx ๐
Just sit back and enjoy what you want to. I haven't played in a long while myself and am actually reinstalling as I type this (23%
). From what I remember the story is fun and the content is fun, I've only dabbled in ESO a bit, I don't think the exploration is as good as ESO nor is it open world like the majority of ESO.
Is there anyway I can easily recruit/join party for Eureka?
hop into instance, /shout asking for group

the problem is, majority of them are Japanese, and they are more often than not, refuse to invite people who use auto translated message
well thats the issue of being on a jp DC
I wish there are server closer to my region
If it's not too late already the only thing to look out for in the bowl of embers is the Nail
Kill the nail when it appears
Other than that it's a fairly normal boss fight
General rule of thumb: killing adds is more important than killing the main boss
Is there any fights in FFxiv where you cannot clear it without knockback immunity skill?
Or are all mechanics possible to complete without using Surecast / Arm's Length?
most savage fights require it
Yeah, I was thinking, like most Savage fights seems to be designed so that all mechanics can possibly be solved without knockback immunity?
If I uninstalled, and reinstalled (like probably been a year+ on hiatus) will my UI's on my characters be the same as I left them?
Specifically I was really fond of my one characters UI and would proably like it on my other characters as I plan to re-make a new one and play until I'm comfortable hopping back on my high level one.
Some are just, you need to lose a fuckton of uptime, and do really really complicated strats
mind you, e12s shiva junction does deal additional damage if you don't use anti kb
literally that stipulation
I see
do all players start at the same city?
oh.. I thought they meant they were playing like a trial version of ffxiv 
Yes, but you take less if you anti kb
Really? Never noticed a difference
not many know it but it's 100% factual
plunging ice just does less if you use kb resist against it

WACK
I'll have to see this when we pepega through the tid door Friday 
I could find you some better evidence, because I know the guys who found it out, but I'd have to get it from them
How big of a difference are we talking here
ty everyone, i just completed it and it went smoothly ha, idk about this Nail cos there were no adds lol
Ball park
It spawned directly Centre
but isnt the general rule of thumb in general to ignore adds and focus on boss bc then when you eliminate it the adds die too?
no
no
kill adds first
ifrit will oneshot you if you ignore the adds
oh
adds are 90% of the time associated with a short timer which leads to the entire group being oneshot if the adds are not killed
Adds will generally do something to make killing the boss much harder or sometimes impossible
in trials that is
Dungeon adds are...mostly ignorable for the most part
also they will constantly attack the OT which you dont want
But trial and stuff should be killed quickly
not killing adds in ifrit is a instawipe no matter how much health he has
and mayb i didnt notice the adds bc sometimes i get overwhelmed by the screen and just focus on what im pressing
Some statics seems to like to do e12s every week without doing any of the fights before it.
For this type of progging, you forfeit all loots from 9-11s as you enter e12s right?
yes
Adds do in general appear on your enemy lists
I see
it also requires one person to have cleared e11 to access the fight
by e12s you should be geared enough to not need loot from other floors. also statics who are at e12s usually tell the individual to do reclears on their own
because youre already geared on your main job
If anyone could shed some help on this 
is it in the same computer? did you completely uninstall anything ff14 related?
what time do dailies reset
It's same computer yes, It was steam I just did the steam uninstall only
I mean i'm reinstalling it as we speak so I'm not sure if that added it again or not.
you probably wont have them
afaik I never go into my steamapps I just do the uninstall off steam and let it do its thing
