dyeable gear will have an empty circle in the top right of the icon
calvary dye not allowed unfortunately
if i glamour other armor into looking like cavalry dye could i dye it then?
no
nope
damn
if the item isn't dyeable naturally, then glamouring it won't suddenly make it dyeable
I recently resubbed to give this game a third attempt at getting through the early game and i'm considering just starting from scratch again (don't remember any story); is there any guide i should look at for picking a proper server or w/e?
if NA gilgamesh
i remember not liking the pretty much dead chats so maybe thought i'd change servers
no, any server is fine. no, starting over from scratch will most likely make you burn out even faster
for sch does summoning seraph block you from using fey blessing?
since you will get bored doing things you remember doing before
doesn't matter what server you pick, if you have friends playing, play on their server with them
Depending on what chat you're talking about, most people aren't gonna be chatting with randos
There shouldn't be anything in T12 that's killing you at level 80 other than stepping into the instant death cage
most servers aren't going to have a lot of chatter as most people are either going to be talking in their free company chats, linkshells or in discord
fey blessing is stronger heal than consolation. so weird
guess i just have to grit my teeth and push through it then, okay
you can join novice network as a sort of "global" chat for new players and mentors
it also blocks dissipation
but novice network can be a bit hit or miss on some servers
yea but you want seraph to be using her exclusive embrace anyway
general guideline is to use seraph when whispering dawn, fae blessing, fae ilum etc all on CD
The server you pick is usually not as important as the DC anyway
so seraph has nothing to do with the faerie gauge? its just flat 2 min cd?
The faerie gauge will get an additional timer on it when you summon seraph, to indicate the time remaining
but it's not related to the actual faerie gauge 1-100 meter
that fancy new bar is only used for two skills? SMH SE
So, I've been noticing something while leveling in dungeons, whenever a gld/pld weapon drops, so does a shield, is that something that always happens now?
for emergency deployment, im supposed to do recitation first right? or does it not work anymore now that the shield is split?
it does work but theres no point to using recitation for it
recitation is strong because it negates aetherflow cost
so better to use it on excog or indom
if you want to deploy pre-pull, better to just fish for a crit normally
ahh
for emergency tactics, there are very little uses for it except mechanics where you have to top up to max hp
like white hole
isnt adlo+emergency always stronger than succor?
emergency tactics and deployment tactics are two different skills
adlo+deploy > succor at all scenario right? it just you cast two speels instead of one?
adlo deploy is stronger but you take more time yup
okok
in general, its not important to shield
just indom afterwards is usualyl much more efficient
lol then im just a shitty WHM then
a slightly weaker WHM but you have almost twice as many tools, the strongest of which are instant and oGCD
also Sacred Soil is OP as hell
dumb question, if i cast a glamour prism on a piece of gear, does it consume that piece of gear?
o yea i was gonna ask about that. why is the description so weird? isnt that just 10% damage reduction?
no, you only consume the glamour prism
okok just checking
the 10% isnt as important as the regen effect. thats the stronger effect.
but i think its worded that way so its 90% before other mitigation like rampart
just guessing
does anyone know a good way to get gil as a low level?
doing roulettes is a decent way to earn some gil
is Rabnastre the best place to farm the event's tomes?
outside of that, crafting and gathering turnins for quests and leves is also a decent idea since a lot of people are lazy and just buy them off the mb
coming from eu , what is more populated server chaos or light ?
The 30% earring XP bonus applies to Bozja too right?
rabanastre is probably what most people are doing because it's relatively quick, if you dont want to do hades ex or nidhogg ex
is it faster than the other 2 SB alliance raids?
what are roulettes?
yes, it's also less difficult
Duty roulette is the first page of your Duty finder
It match make you with people who needed help
In return, you will get bonus reward scaled correctly to your level. If you use a lvl 55 jobs to do leveling roulette, and you get match made to a player who is doing a lvl 20 dungeon, upon completion of the dungeon, you will be awarded bonus exp. This bonus exp will roughly match exp coming from a lvl 55 dungeon, deducting the exp from a lvl 20 dungeon
The meaty bonus reward awarded once per day, per character, per roulette
Important note: Adventurer In Need bonus (second row, this one isn't daily limited) offered by roulette are very insignificant compared the daily bonus
below level 50, the only two roulettes you're able to do are Leveling and Guildhests, and guildhests are not really worth doing so just stick to Leveling
Tldr: leveling roulette will give bonus exp once per day, the total exp earned on completion is worth your while
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off lightning effects? One of my friends has epilepsy and they are looking for a way to turn off the weather effects for their safety
if youre going to do rouletes every day then you might as well pick up another class
Take note that leveling roulette can put you into 4-player Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda, you will get less bonus exp from these.
Scaling to their shorter completion time
they were mostly asking on how to make gil, not get xp lol
that's why i recommended it, since it gives you gil
Might as well explain it while we are at it
fair
Also they are on PC if that helps, for my question
Another quick way to make Gil at low level is to need/greed gear from dungeon and sell them to NPC. you can change the setting to make gears go into your inventory instead of your armory, this should make it easier to know what to keep and what to sell. (don't ask me how, I did it almost 6-7 years ago)
Another one would be selling potions and foods rewarded from quests, they aren't really that useful
@proven glen you cant afaik
ahhh ok. Thank you for answering though!
Another thing they need to watch out for would be Akh Morn
It is a pulsing attacks many high level bosses have
Holy from white mage is another
the game doesnt have any epilepsy accomodations unfortunately
thats really unfortunate
In the case of Holy from your party WHM, you can do something about it
I hope they add it in the future so my friend can play more
Ummm
turning all effects to limited could help
under character config > control > character
thank you!
Limited means you only see the very important stuff, for example, a healing bubble
limited only shows ground placement stuff i think
I believe so
I thought show none only showed the most important effects
show none shows literally nothing
None is none
Damn
SAM definitely feels more Sekiro than NIN is right?
i havent played the game but probably
i dont think the main character uses ninjutsus
The other two party in Alliance raid count as Others
In the context of visual effects intensity
Yeah
Is there anything important you will miss if you set Others as Off?
no
Nothing worthwhile
I was thinking that might be a nice way to turn off all other parties Earthly Star, Collective Unconscious and stuff
Unless you need to see when do the WHM on the other alliance raid party uses their healing bubble
Oh you also miss the ground Dots
you dont need to see other peoples effects
But oh well
i only had it on limited cause i was doing pvp
anyone have a good NIN UI hotbar setup ?
you know that doesnt affect pvp right..
Setting others to off will make your alliance raid less visually intense/impressive
i could have sworn it did
it literally says it doesn
Mine, Ctrl and Shift are binded to Mouse
do you automatically see all effects in pvp?
excl. = excluding
oh fuck I thought it said (i.e. PVP) lol
maybe i wasnt paying enough attention but i could have sworn i wasnt seeing any of the enemy teams effects in ranked when i had it set to off
thnx :v
Yeah, my settings are a bit weird though. Since I use Mouse thumb buttoms as if it's L2 R2 on Controller
in the fight vs Argath in Rabanastre, when the faces appear, what's the meaning of the icons? I've seen in guides the icons are for Turn and Flee, but I only see icons of an eye with a line, a triangle, and IIRC another thing i dont remember now, which one is each?
the face determines whether you do the command or the opposite, if im understanding what youre asking
a demon means to do the opposite of the command
theyre pause and play buttons, meaning move or dont move, the eye is turn away or look
yes the eye is just a general looking mechanic
its just indicating which command you had
also another question, is there any jutsus NINs dont ever use Endgame?
wait suition the ice one?
suiton is water
so, is the regullar eye part of this mechanic to do or dont depending of face, or the normal eye if from other mechanic and faces mechanics are for crossed eye only?
Hiho :) i cant seem to find where i can upgrade my current Token gear to 530 and what items i need for that.
Yes
i really dont remember too well all the icons in this fight, I've only done it a few times
cryptlurker requires 1 coin from each nier raid
there's only one eye mechanic for the final boss of rabanstre.
The blue one that is 520 when you buy it with the weekly cap stones
the weapon requires 4 blades from the last eden raid and 1k tomes to exchange for the envelope
!buff divine Commandment: Turn
that's the buff for the look away/face him
Ahh ok so i could upgrade 1 item per week basicly?
can technically do more if you also do hunts
Is there still PVP mentor in the game, or is that system removed?
I see
do the hunt vendors sell crypt augment items?
yes
Ok thank you very much :)
To get the true burgerking lord, you need to grab both mentor status right?
if its added to 24man tokens its added to hunt currency

yes you have to be both combat and crafting mentor
I see
Wait it it going to reset my levels again? https://i.imgur.com/tE6B0Bo.png
only if you're going from a job to another job
Yes
or class to another class
It told me to change job to an advanced one
if you're going from class to job then no it won't reset
ok
ok, thxs, so if normal face and that icon, I just look away
I'm going from pugilist to monk
when u told before pause and play icons, those are different icons?
yes, you have blue eyes/white face you do as you're told. if you have a red eyes/black face, do the opposite
pause and play are different icons
Can you augment Landsaintgear like how you do cypt
!buff divine commandment: flee
is the other command given
ok, so that "play" icon with white face, I keep moving,
"pause" icon with white face I stop moving/attacking
other face, I do inverse
right?
there's only 2 commands, either flee or turn away
if you get flee with white face, you keep moving
if you get black face, you stop what you're doing
here says pause/play are 2 icons
what is pyretic?
first encounter is usually the hydra boss in wod
though i think these days most people don't usually see it
but you take dmg for the duration of the debuff if you use any action
what's faster for Path of Resistance Relic Quest? DR or PotD?
@unreal folio apologies for this direct mention. While Hyoton itself is not used in endgame, Hyoton do become hyosho ranryu under Kassatsu at high level (a new trait will make your Hyoton and katon becomes different Ninjutsu under the effect of Kassatsu)
Hyosho ranryu is the most potent single target Ninjutsu
!action Hyosho Ranryu
Deals ice damage with a potency of 1,200.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Jin or Ten→Jin
Can only be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
When will I unlock another delivery npc? I just have khloe right now
so normally you'd want to use kassatsu on cooldown assumin i have access to hyosho ranryu?
Yes, but at lv 80 it's more precise
you use kassatsu on cooldown anyways
!action Kassatsu
Allows the execution of a single ninjutsu without consumption of mudra charges.
Additional Effect: Increases damage for the next ninjutsu action by 30%
Duration: 15s
Recast timer of mudra is not affected by the execution of this action.
You use Kassatsu then wait for a long time before using Hyosho Ranryu
it needs to empower an ability under trick attack if possible
Kassatsu lines up with your trick attack
so while you don't have lv76 you use raiton instead
Which is on 60s cooldown as well
so im assumin the part of the rotation would be
can someone help explain something to me real quick? im doing a hadex ex farm, and im a little confused on how its determined who gets the pool mechanic, the one you have to drop pools on in the 3rd phase
Suiton - trick attack - kassatsu - hyosho
its more like suiton - kassatsu - trick - hyosho
suiton buff lasts 20s so you can get it off early
Yeah, TA window can be REALLY REALLY busy, you often don't even have time to fit in Kassatsu
As a newbie NIN, it often feels like, "Aw shiet I pressed a useless Weaponskill, now I miss a Raiton cast..."
Guys, wich tank is the most fun?? (in your opinion)
Hard Question, I only played GNB
But I think PLD is quite fun
WAR, but all of them are fun in their own way probably
Personally don't like DRK
most people will say GNB is the most fun
is this against the celebrant? if so then 2 dps are marked with a marker and they have to go all the way out to the south edge of the arena and bait puddles, 3 in total that appear one after another. they move inwards towards the boss after each puddle. dps that aren't bait stack with their healer/tank grouping on the outside edge to soak the line laser
the big Axe?
the other tanks have very bland rotations
okey
or #tank-lounge
Oh, sorry, i am new to the game, and i wanted to know, wich one would be more fun to try next.
one other question, is doton ever used as part of the opener in a NIN rotation?
understandable but again this would be the wrong channel for discussion related questions
Because, i wanted to tank, but sure, ill do that.
yes it is part of the opener if you can pull the boss in to it
Yes, when Doton can reach the boss later without Aggroing the boss
For stuff like Diamond Ex you giveup
its used in basically all of this tier
you can probably hide reset before the doton starts ticking
but the timing is really tight and you would be late on your first suiton
Yeah, I personally don't Doton Diamond Ex since then my TA will be delayed...
Well, not delayed, but my opener needs to be redesigned
its not recommended for bosses you can't adjust into the doton anyways
hmmm
I see
i heard the ffxv car cost mgp the last time it was available, how much was it?
i guess ill have to just practice more on the NIN rotations more then, with the advice in mind
Thanks again !
take care
200k? No idea
i thought it was the same price as Fenrir wolf mount
in the seat of sacrifice is there way to negate deep freeze and pyretic
i saw someone with the blizzard icon on top of them but didnt get deep freeze
Yes, don't move or use any action or auto attack during Fire.
Don't stop moving during Freeze
ohh
200k is right
Oh cool I already got 200k nice
for pyretic, untarget the boss and don't move until the debuff is off
for deep freeze you can jump in place
if you don't want to move
i c
another viable option for pyretic is to sheath your weapon
because you don't want to accidentally auto attack yourself to death
o i c
alternatively if you're out of range of the boss you won't auto attack either
so casters and ranged don't auto attack outside range
phys range do
I got too much Yellow Scripts, where do I burn them?
Caster and Healers don't auto attack when far away
materia or master books you don't have
oh
You can buy Master Books with Yellow?
Is this the NPC I need?
yes thats fine
if you ever plan on getting the skysteel tools for glam purposes you can burn them on the mats for those
Do I buy this than Exchange?
just make sure its the right token
the folklore thing for each expansion is different i think
I see
also i just realized its gatherer scrips, thought it was crafter
the gatherer tokens are those ones for the shb books
crafter books can just be bought straight up with yellows
I see
Anyone here good with Linux and running FFXIV on it?
Could try asking in #technology-discussion
Thanks
I heard that Steam could help
if you dc during duty, does that count as an abandon? do you have to wait a certain amount of time you're allowed to queue again?
There's no way to pre order EW and not charging your debit yet, but still get the pre order items right?
that...... kind of defeats the point of a preorder bonus
yikes
Is there an easier way to select targets on console, I'm already running into targeting issues in dungeons and stuff but it might just be down to my own ineptitude

do I need to be a member of a free company to use a stable to feed my chocobo exp up food
Nah you can also have access to a stable by owning an apartment and using the apartment stable
that's player housing? which i assume is out of reach
Getting an apartment room is pretty easy
It's about 500k and there isn't any supply demand issues with them
Apartment also don't nuke themselves if you unsub right?
I don’t know about other servers, but small plots open all the time in Goblet on mine.
Believe so
I’ve seen only one medium plot in my 30 days so far.
I've only started playing again this week after a few years off so i guess i'll skip that for now
I’m like level 70 in botany, and still have no clue how people can toss 700k like nothing.
With Botany, you pretty much need level 60+ in Weaver, Carpenter, and Alchemy too, looking at a lot of these recipes.
Mostly saving.
My natural Gil regen for each week is about 1mil I think
I have no idea how to calculate personal income though
It’s been hard as fuck even saving to 2.5 million for me. Highest I’ve seen on my server was a guy buying 9,999 wind shard for 500k.
I know for a fact that people only have that much because shards don’t sell well at a 1,000 a piece. Takes me like 2 hours to get that much.
Where do I look for unsynced runs through old content? Cause party finder on crystal is a lot of ads
do we require to do all the hunting log ? or its optional
Yeah, I saved up 27 mil and I don't know where to spend it because I'm not into housing.
I don't even have a lv 80 crafter or gatherer yet lol.
I just sell everything I could sell
Hunting log is optional but its a nice chunk of exp
It’s probably why some people wind up losing their housing. Some of my neighbors at my fc have gotten zero visitors. Like this neat workshop someone made.
Anyway, I came here to ask if the Rathalos and 2B events were story locked? Like I’m just going to enter Dragonsong, so if they’re at certain places how far is it?
But yeah, I just consider money more useful than stuff that I can buy from MB
Need to be finished stormblood and shadowbringers respectively
Nier Event is after ShB, so after lv 80
Just wondering what people do with their old gear? I've got a big chunk of stuff I no longer need but some of it cannot be sold such as Ironworks weapons, ethereal gear
Gonna take me like 2-4 weeks. So my fc abbreviates some content as birb and doggo runs. Are the doggos apart of Heavensward or another dungeon?
You can turn in to your GC for GC Seals for Mats for Gil on MB
I would say if you haven't done story yet, enjoy the story and don't rush
Oh sweet, are there any particular materials I should be exchanging seals for?
I just want to focus on housing. Also milk the mats Endswalker will give out.
Doggos are the mounts from the stormblood extreme trials
They're kamuy or wolflike mounts
Birds would be the lanners
Which are heavensward
Arr has horses
And shb has gwibers or dragons
Just make your own listing in the party finder, that's what I did for the ARR extremes etc. People are really happy to help
Okay thank you ill give it a shot
To add to that include things like "first time bonus" in the description on things you've never done before
The free second chance points and poetics are a good incentive to somr
hi, quick question here, with the exp bonus for new players, I have a huge gap between my level (40) and the level of the main quest (20), will it get better ?
Really hard question, depends on your servers market
Time to get my merchant hat on then
Yeah, selling stuff is hard
@slate arrow Can ya give me a hand with something real fast?
@stiff crescent is having trouble with where to enter the Shadowbringers Steam code
Can you get Augmented Exhartic gear with 5 materia slots?
I can't send him message to Revo, could you please help me about it?
where's the aesthetician in the pendants?
dosent have one since he's only on the source
oh no

Does vengeance hit multiple times when bosses use multi strike attacks?
IIRC, yes
What DOH/L should I invest into my fisher is lvl 71 and I'm a dark knight if that matters
Does anyone know if there are any servers or if there's a channel on this server that keeps track of fates spawnin(where and when), for example Odin?
when i started out it got explained to me by the game, but i still forgotten it. what does the transparent xp in my xp bar mean? i thought it had to do something with gaining it afk in a sanctuary but i might be mistaken
From what I understand it fills up when you log off In a sanctuary, i think it gives you a 50% extra xp while it lasts
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
thanks! ^^
i'm late but tl;dr sign into the Full Steam Launcher with the Mogstation FFXIV Trial account and it should automatically convert and apply the code
Is the grind for the Stormblood and Shadowbringers relic weapon as bs grindy as for the Anima ones? Since I can play those in the free trial for now.
Well...
The whole idea of relics is that they're giant time sinks
Yeah with anima you can mostly just farm poetics for it but with the SB and ShB relics you have to actively engage, and spend time leveling up and doing stuff in their special zones which takes a lot of time
the grindiest one is ARR relics
how do u bind an item use on macros?
you can't.
this is just a curiosity thing, but is there a current "best" or "worst" class dps wise?
not really, class balance is close enough that there's no clear worst/best jobs
!faq meta
gotcha, i've heard bard is quite bad which is what made me curious
Even if it were the lowest dps class, "quite bad" would be a big exaggeration
yeah general difference between top and lowest damage classes assuming equal skill is 10-15% for DPS
People like to confuse "quite bad" and with "clunky to play but can still perform on par with other jobs"
depending on the exact percentile you look at.
oh is bard considered clunky?
it has a lot of management around procs
thats fair
i play bard a decent bit which is why i asked, didn't feel overly clunky to me
The percentage of skill level which there is a difference when you should worry is extremely small. Talking top 1% or less even
gotcha gotcha
im trying to figure out which dps i really enjoy and im struggling with it lol, another reason i asked
maybe if something could push me in a direction
nothing is like really really pulling me towards it so far
Don't worry about performance in choosing a job. Play what you enjoy. All jobs are still accepted in top levels of play.
Can you get Augmented Exhartic gear with 5 materia slots?
yeah just not too sure what that is just yet
No
DRK's Blood Weapon only activates on GCD skills, right? No optimizing shenanigans?
correct
🙇
Thoughts on the corsair scimitar?
yo guys, i'm trying to bind shift and alt to mouse4/mouse5 with autohotkey... it works in other apps (LIKE NOW I'M HOLDING M4) but not in game. anyone know why?
If you are leveling by having someone kill something you hit at a low level how much higher should the enemy be to get the max xp gain
if you're anything but Blue Mage, monster experience stops being good when they're level 25 or so
how do you get castrum lacus litore to appear on the map?
you wait for it to spawn
Eden Promise no longer has weekly lock?
the game told me about something that you can do to decrease the time for it to spawn?
Just preordered collectors edition. How long does it take for me to get the earings?
variable depending on how backed up the delivery system is
could be anywhere from a half hour to a day
I'm not familiar with autohotkey but I've gotten it working with two other programs, so there must be a way
ooof
for me personally it was a couple hours
which programs?

X-Mouse Button Control, and Logitech SetPoint
Setpoint started being weird with my new mouse so it's strictly XMBC for me
complete skirmishes and critical engagements
You still want to hit it on the back half of your gcd to maximize effected gcds
will they release bozjan armor upgrades or it will just be an individual buys? I mean, I haven't experienced Eureka, but it does says +1 or +2 on their armors, Is bozja going a different path?
is the extra retainer not immediate?
I just noticed that I can jjust straight up buy the law and order set without having the bozja set
paid for the extra retainer but they're telling me i max can have 2
@leaden ginkgo unknown, it might be the new sets in the patch preview site being the next "upgrades"
@obsidian patio so It might be an "Upgrade" from Law and order, or might be "Another Purchaseable" set right?
yeah, it's not known for sure.
how about the eurekan elemental armors, are they just like that the first part too?
Elemental Armor is much more simpler. You buy it with tokens in Pyros, upgrade with tokens in Hydatos, and then the final upgrade with tokens from the Baldesion Arsenal make it into the OP Eureka armor with the Elemental Bonus.
Thanks! just got confused as to why I can already buy law and order set without buying the former
probably for the purpose of using it as outside gear for the item level
https://i.imgur.com/CBvIyxt.png Ho do I eat this? It only has "dye" option
oh
does initiating and then abandoning a battle levequest reroll the chance for a chest, even if you've already opened a chest in that leve
Not 100%, but I'm pretty sure that yes that works.
yes
Is there any use for Irregular tomestones of Esoterics? i still have 19 from ages ago xd
might still be able to redeem them at the event moogle in the main city-states
How long does it normally take to get max level with a class for the first time? doing the entire story and all that
I'd still say about a month
thats a long time huh
unless you skip each and every cutscene but would heavily recommend to not do that
gotta understand, the story is the main appeal of the game
if you skip everything you basically skip 70% of the game
but ofc you're free to do that
i dont skip it all but sometimes i do ngl, but thanks
How long would it take to finish the main game + heavensward? It would be more cost efficient for my to buy the starter + endwalker but I don’t know if it’ll keep me occupied until then lmao.
That's half the game, so going with what I said earlier about half a month? It's just an estimate ofc, depends heavily on how often you play and also how you play
a month of semi no life-ing
Heck even what you play, because queue times are a thing
Tanks and healers are obviously faster with the story dungeons

so if someone rolls greed on a loot
and i don't roll anything
is there a chance for me to get the loot
I noticed in some houses it says like, eat 10 uses left. What happens after 10 uses?
How do you get more mount speed?
If you don't roll it will pass automatically for you when the timer runs out
Or just don’t press anything
Complete more story
Or buy riding maps, but that's redundant since all areas in the game have flying eventually
u can get mount speed but once you unlock flight it's not worth it
especially the price to get mount speed upgraded
yeah, it didn't show up, so i guess not 😦
so i just manually pass
Also iirc you always get an item directly into your inventory
From the endboss
Iirc
No. Not rolling at all just skips you entirely for loot.
what no
but if the person leaves before loot is handed out, then their roll is ignored
If he leaves before the loot timer runs out and you haven't rolled you get it
not rolling is basically like a greed roll of 1
i c
if no one rolls at all then no one gets it
whats the difference?
That item will be gone if all people pass
Does the quest variety gets better with the expansions? I am in the base game rn, but it's all like kill 3 mobs, talk with this guy, hand over item -> repeat
Being able to have multiple characters in one world for the more expensive one
you wont enjoy early ARR much
Granted I don't know why you'd do that
atleast in my experience
Yeah, if no one rolls but waits out the timer everyone passes on it
my character in the kudo bot command is not updating to my character in game
There are still a lot of quests like that in xpacs but there are also more unique instanced events + a more interesting story.
Oki, ty
pls help
the picture pulls from the lodestone and that only updates every hour or so
oooooooh
I am not sure, actually. Perhaps someone else knows.
how does timeworn artifacts drop in delubrum?
Is it one run one artifact?
or per part?
the food disappears and you're left with a blank plate or whatever the food was placed on
deym, how about if I just grind it in potd, is it per 10 floors?
or not even guaranteed?
RNG
but past floor 100, which is only doable with premade parties, has a higher drop rate.
from my own experience with POTD, i did 51-100 twice and got 3 artifacts
how RNG is it, is per mobs or per 10floors?
per 10 floors
I think i'd just spam DR then
I've gotten 1 on the current excursion from 1-90
@deft parcel
how do I unbound my ffziv character from the kupo-bot?
I usually get 1 from floor 80 and then 100 but no guarantees
!iam delete
Heya, how do I make my buffs bigger? I can barely see them on my big screen 😦
HUD layout > status info (enhancements)
TY
How can i make it so i can see the group list with just me in it so i can adjust its position.
Ohhh there it is im blind. Thanks xD

whats this and why does it randomly glow red
it's your job gauge
for now it only really shows whether or not you have tank stance activated (defiance)
ohhhhhhhhh
later it'll have a resource bar
yes its a permanent stance
(or get synced down which also removes all buffs and therefore turns off tank stances)
you want to keep it on in party content so you're able to keep aggro
in solo it doesn't matter
At what point do you stop getting desynth points for an item's desynth level? Item's desynth level + 40.0?
is there any other waay i can get puppets coin the easy way or i still need to run the alliance raid?
whoever has the highest enmity on an enemy will be that enemy's primary target
So as a tank, you want to be the primary target
oh okay ty
That's your job, getting hit by stuff so others don't
defiance only does that
only way is by running the raid
it doesnt give me defense too
but no limit now right?
which is kinda a downside right
no
mitigation?
defense
oh true
defiance, more aggro - no downside
You should have rampart already for example
tanks have naturally higher defence and mitigation skills
That is the first skill of quite a few which is used to reduce incoming dmg when needed
yes, you also have the tank mastery trait
!trait tank mastery
mastery?
see above
that's a trait all tanks have
it means you already take less dmg and have more hp than other roles
do i have that naturally or do i need to upgrade smth
No, you have that naturally
nice
traits are passive abilities that are always active
99% of gear does not make any difference between genders
so there shouldn't be "female" armour
As WHM, I never get to use my lilies ever. That's correct right, prioritize assize/tetra/bene etc.etc over lilies? Or am I missing out on a big mechanic?
No that's correct
and normal for some lower level content
sometimes you just sit on your lilies
Yes, almost unintuitively it's with using another type of dye. Terebinth I think it's called.
Until ShB your lilies are just a free instant cure ii
Sitting on lilies it is, thanks.
Before lvl 74 (I think) there's no downside to keeping them anyway
DO NOT sit on lilies once you hit ShB tho
oh so if i use another dye on it the previous one will disappear ?
no blood lilly yet
Yes
It's a consumable
okay cool thanks
Yes but Terebinth or whatever it's called will revert it to the default color.
is there a way to extract it so you can get the dye
No
no
No
oh okay
Like food
I thought that even after ShB, using lilies over instants is a dps loss? I read some guide doing maths at some point
Yeah, you still follow the same priority
is black dye hard to get
Long term your blood lily is important for dps tho
It's just that in ShB you actually have to use lillies 😄
Plain black, no
And ShB you need to do a lot more healing
But there are variants of black that are rarer
Soot Black dye is easy to get, but Jet Black is a bit harder
makes sense
Jet Black being slightly darker
Gunmetal or jet black are rarer
more of a "true" black
hell yeah jet black then
soot black has a slight gray tinge
going for the dark knight route
So if I -have- to hardcast a cure, use a lily. But if the entire fight can be done with just instants, its fine if I don't grow my blood lily?
Tradable Jet Black (AKA General-Purpose Jet Black) is a rare drop from Venture coffers earned from Quick Ventures
It's fine, but it won't happen by the point you actually have the blood lilly
Oh, I guess I could use lilies in downtime when theres' nothing to heal.
because once you hit ShB you need to heal more
So I tried clearing out my armory and winded up selling my gear sets for professions. Now every time I try and buy an item to fix it, it says I’m unable to equip. Like I’m at a field craft merchant trying to replace the carpenter weapon I pawned off and I can’t switch to carpenter because it won’t equip.
I only do that when I cap on lilies
the one simply labelled as "Jet Black" on the dye menu is the untradable version bought with $$$ on the FFXIV online store.
I just came out of DR which is definitely ShB. But I suppose its the wrong kind of content.
You really don't want to overcap on lilies once you hit ShB
well DR can be weird because of essences and stuff
overcapping lilies in terms of single target is acceptable if you couldn't use them for efficient healing or movement
but yeah, just try to not overcap on lillies but it's not a super huge deal if you do
why can
healing priority is still this
't i unlock the last class quest for WAR? i have my role quest done, i'm level 80, and i did the last class quest before that
Oh, that's a solid one Wynne! There's plenty places where I gotta be moving and cant cast Glare, and Dia is already up.
I could just spam my lilies even if everyones at full hp, it'll still gain me dps through the blood lily.
ah, then you probably just don't see it in the msq tracker
the lvl 80 quests are just regular 
not 
oh
And they do not show up in your tracker
The level 80 job quests don't appear on the tracker as they're plain sidequests that only give a title
just look up the quest online and see where it starts
okay, thank you
You are basically a grandmaster at your job now
So you just figure out new skills on your own
Manually equip the carpenter tool and you'll become a carpenter
Save that as the new carpenter set
At least if I'm understanding your issue
All the eu preferred servers are locked for new characters, :(
I’ve got to try again. It’s just it keeps popping up “Cant equip, purchase anyway?” Or whatever.
Click yes
that just pops up because you are currently not a carpenter
I think by default it's on No so if you're mashing buttons you might be clicking no
But you can click yes and the purchase will continue
Wait for off times, or choose a different one. The xp boost, while nice, is not essential
character creation usually works very late at night or early morning though
Any recommendations on eu servers?
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
tl;dr: It doesn't matter except for the part at the very bottom
Ah great, thanks
which barding looks good on a soot black chocobo
true barding of light or titania
That is a very subjective question with no proper answer.
need opinions
Is there a way to add someone as a friend without both people being online?
#general-discussion is a great place for opinions.
I don't think so, no
Unfortunate. Also unless I've been doing it wrong, is it possible to add someone in a different world or do you have to be in a cross-world party first?
Looking for just a yes or no answer, I'll do more research later. Just want to know if i were to go to diadem with level 30 gear on versus level 50 gear on . Would i gain more materials interms of just stats, regardless of abilities
Cross world party or world travel
either works
ah world travel
depending on what youre trying to gather you'll definitely have a lower percent chance to get things
but its been a while since i did diadem while low level so i dont remember
Not sure how to answer that with just a yes or a no.
Lower stats means lower chance at NQ/HQ items. How high exactly depends on the items gathered.
Thanks
Are there mounts that can fly before you do the fly quest, or is their flight always bound to the quest?
could i get like lets say 10 iron ores with level 30 gear and level 50 gear would get the exact same amount ?
mounts are not different except for aesthetics
speed or ability to fly is solely tied to you unlocking it
No
With level 30 gear, you'll get max NQ and HQ chance on iron ores. It wouldn't change with level 50 gear, statwise
Read: All mounts have the same speed and all mounts can fly
👍
you could however trigger the bonus of a node with higher stats, tho those usually need really high stats
(except for that one weird mogstation mount that is slightly faster)
I know al mounts can fly, just wondering if you purchase the "black whale" you get to fly before the quest.
No
There
That's what I mean
Lunar whale no
If you unlock flying it relates to all mounts
Understood
no flying unlocked, no flight
It'll float above the ground but you can't fly on it
It's still a fancy 8 person mount tho
And ff4 fanservice
However, there do people move in groups that require to move there in a mount?
*where
It's never required
Nowhere in particular its just fun to do
but sometimes nice for overworld content or something
but mounts that can fit multiple ppl are mostly a gimmick, nothing more
I mean for things like map parties its helpful or hunt trains but other than that its a gimmick to carry more than 2 people
Yeah, it's just nice for some things
Wait... if you can't fly, you can't board another persons's flying mount or can you?
You can
You can
You just cannot fly yourself
Like cruising with your buddies in the Regalia or taking your SO on a date on a fancy Chocobo 
There are no "flying mounts" just mounts and the ability to fly in certain areas
A loophole for friends! Nice.
that's partly why one of the RAF rewards is a 2 person mount
so you can be the taxi for your newbie friends
Meep meep.
Ironically you need 3 friends to have enough feathers I think
Not that many
there's like 3 or 4 that are non-premium currently.
Tho there's one in Bozja coming that's a two seater but idk how we'll get that
the all-gwiber mount is a 2-seater
Eden savage is a multi seater too
and then the upcoming FFXV event rerun has the car which is a 4 seater
So like 5 are non paid but it requires Effort
yep
Everything requires effort
Some things just require more than others
the "easiest" ones is probably E4S or the all-gwibers, not counting the RAF one.
what am i supposed to do here
the quest says confront him but it doesnt give me the option to
/Doubt
all he does is say the line over and over
On them
oh
you have to emote at him
Whenever there is a / command in the objective it means to do that emote
oh wow
usually while targeting something
There are quests where you emote or say something specific in chat
damn i totally missed the slash they put there
So pay attention to the objective
iirc, the text tends to be orange
and bold
so if it's saying 'the person might require some comforting words', that's a cue that it's asking for /comfort
At least when talking to the npc and the black text box appeard
is there a way to visit my friend that is playing in US server?
Not yet
While you're on JP? no.
and i feel obliged to repeat, DC travel may be only within region
they literally have not confirmed either way
okkkk
ooo when will it come out
No.one knows outside of before endwalker
however, it could be only within region
like, US can only travel acoss crystal/primal/aether
i wouldn't expect EU being able to visit US being guaranteed
wdym?
It's possible that DC travel may be restricted to datacenters within your region
All the DCs for a region are physically located in the same place
connection as a result doesn't differ
They haven't said whether, for example, EU will be able to visit US, or not
I'm simply saying don't expect that that's a guarantee

after clearing a dungeon today, I wasn't able to find the little window where I can appraise someone that participated it with me. Is it still possible to do so after the dungeon has been done?
no, unfortunately
What are the quests that look like a class/job quest called, the ones with a +?
ye, but not all. you can also find them under the mqs on the top left side of your screen
there's no special name for them, just the
symbol
Ive been calling them "feature quests" because they either unlock a skill, an ingame feature, dungeon, etc. Then again I'm new and dont know what I'm doing or talking about
So there's no way to search for them only to check what each one has as reward without checking the regular ones?
most people call them blue quests, and yeah they generally unlock new things
On the main scenario quest hud element your current job/class quest will be listed under the current/next main story effect
you can google the name of a particular quest to see what it unlocks
hug
Almost all
unlock something or lead to an unlock
What if I'll farm 50 lvl dungeons solo without level sync for tomestones of poetics? Or I won't get any from it, because I'm not lvl synced?
You'll get first clear bonuses unsynced nothing else
It warns you about that when you enter a dungeon unsynced
So when looking at the piety number mentioned at the PF Friendly Set it mentions 1209 Piety, https://saltedxiv.com/sch
On the character windows it gives me currently the number 1416 Piety
does that mean im already over the 1209 Piety or it mean i need get another 1209 piety on top?
You're over the 1209
if i buy skip story will i unlock the map also
does it auto finish the aether currents
If you have a physical copy of ffxiv complete edition on ps4, can you still get the ps5 upgrade?
yes
it also makes your copy become digital
meaning you won't need the disc anymore
It gives you the currents yes
The quest themselves aren't Completed so you can do them for xp/story
yes
and if i do will it overwrite my current one
aye nice
and you can swap between them freely through gearsets
thats cool actually
because in this game your class is tied to the weapon you have equipped
since im marauder and the town am at only has the marauder guild
does that mean other towns got other guilds?
yeah
limsa also has arcanists guild
you can pick up another class once you do the level 10 class quest on your current class
And 3 crafters + fisher
oh okay cool does that mean that those classes got their own main story too?
yes, pretty much
They have class quests but msq is its own thing
It’s by the fisher guild
nah, you just need to get to a certain point in msq
no, it requires msq progress
You have to reach ishgard which will take all of ARR
yep
great
quest is in a new location you don't have yet
ive heard that it takes alot to reach that so yeah
you need to finish the base game and reach the first city in the next expansion, which is included in the free trial
not too much, if you enjoy playing the game it's fun
it is thats true
i dont know maybe its because that im a tank that the combat feels slow to me or smth
i personally didn’t mind the slog at all, but everyone’s different
but im liking the story so far
the game does play pretty slowly at the beginning
but later on you get more skills that are off the gcd
every class is a slog at the beginning but if you enjoy story it's a good sign you'll prolly stick with it
rogue/ninja becomes a very fast paced class if you’re into that kind of gameplay
Monk also
melee in general are decently speedy
monk is dps?
yep
alr cool
pugilist/monk is unlockable in ul’dah
tanks play slower because game assumes you have more to worry about (more true in later content. later later. lol)
It’s in the desert city, you gotta get to lvl 15 story for it
called pugilist btw, it upgrades to monk at 30
bery nice
btw is there a way to speed up the auto attacks
or do they come whenever they want
ive tried right clicking and it didn't work
auto attack speed changes depending on your weapon
and no you can’t control it manually
o
Hi, just started playing and wondering what server i should choose. I'm from Belgium English speaker
pick the one with the exp booster @iron leaf
tank gameplay is generally pretty straightforward in terms of damage skills
you get a 1-2-3 combo that serves as the basis for your rotation and everything else builds up on that
im eu too, if you are not able to create a character there you'll need to wait a bit until the pop goes lower
mainly through off gcds
thats true thats true
Yeah sure
Got a character now on Light / Zodiark
ill. send out n dm
!faq newplayertips
is there any like cloak/body where your character has it over his shoulders but doesnt have his arms in it so like the sleeves are out?
in some cutscenes the npcs move their mouths but im hearing no voiceovers is that intentional
yes, not every cutscene is voiced
you see a lot more voiced scenes as you play through the game
voiced scenes tend to be the ones that are more significant to the story
!iglam halone's mail of fending
ARR is very thin on voice acting because it suffered from a shorter development cycle
Voices happen for the important stuff
not really unfortunately
!iglam urban coat
!iglam rebel coat
oh okay thank you
are there male variations for those
really?? fuck if i knew that I'd grab that one coat from that one quest
it's kinda weird that the emporer's new boots look like sandals
Hello, can someone on EU tell me what time it is server time? I can't log in right now
Ty ty
Does anyone have a toolbox link for box brambles? can't find
