[exotic flume]

Trial is way too far and too fast vs how many quests you will need to do in order to get to even level 30 dungeons.

[hard night]

Gw2 seems way more casual though

[modest igloo]

FF14 is an FF game

its got a long ass story

[hard night]

And neko girls

[modest igloo]

but someone like me who loves story? top notch stuff

[hard night]

Aka sold

[exotic flume]

Those 10 levels are like 5 times level 1 to 20

[modest igloo]

[hard night]

Sorry cat love

[dire prawn]

[hard night]

Wait

What?

[faint flare]

[hard night]

I'm interested now

[dire prawn]

[exotic flume]

Demonish boys and girls too.

[faint flare]

We have lizzers

[dire prawn]

Au Ra are lizzers

[hard night]

demonic girls?

[modest igloo]

we got heckin cute everything

[boreal storm]

Bunnys are for paying customers sadly

[modest igloo]

eh somewhat

[exotic flume]

DemoniSH, not demonic

[dire prawn]

They're somewhat draconic in appearance but funnily enough aren't related to dragons at all

[wintry chasm]

*Note: Au Ra are neither related to dragons or demons

[primal ermine]

Au ra original design was demonic

[hard night]

Need to go study

Races

Then

[primal ermine]

not anymore tho

[hard night]

Maybe something will beat neko

[dire prawn]

Miqo'te are catgirls

[faint flare]

Example

[dire prawn]

Viera are bunny girls

Au Ra are lizzers

[faint flare]

Horns and scaly tail

[dire prawn]

They also have scales

[primal ermine]

Very scary demon

[modest igloo]

is dat u?

[faint flare]

Ye

[modest igloo]

cool

[faint flare]

In my usual caster glam

[modest igloo]

im a boring hyur

[exotic flume]

so much cutomization, create your most satisfying character.

[modest igloo]

and i like it that way

[faint flare]

Though it's old and missing my highlights

[remote lintel]

hyur men > hyur women

[modest igloo]

Femroe> male roe

[boreal storm]

Lalas...

[modest igloo]

whens the last time an MSQ chracter has been a male roe

[hard night]

Where can i check

[remote lintel]

rammbroes

[hard night]

All the races avaible?

[primal ermine]

Derplander is best so hard agree

[modest igloo]

... really?

[remote lintel]

@hard night just look at the character creation screen

[modest igloo]

oh wait

[random girder]

what about thighlanders

[exotic flume]

You can tell that?

[modest igloo]

dude under tuski

[faint flare]

Post shadowbringers, with the captain of the ship

[modest igloo]

he's 1.0 but yeah

[remote lintel]

[wintry chasm]

[remote lintel]

merlwyb's right hand man

[hard night]

Cheers

[boreal storm]

Lion bois and bunny ladies require shadowbringers to play, so if you’re a trial player...

[modest igloo]

gwenrhydt or whatever was the last new one right?

mr chainsaw idiot or whatever

[faint flare]

Name.day guy?

[exotic flume]

*to even see them on character creation

[remote lintel]

you can see them on character creation

[exotic flume]

I tried on trial

[modest igloo]

yeah

[faint flare]

Probably

[remote lintel]

[exotic scroll]

Is there anything similar to the Woad Skyraider's Fur bottom half at all

[exotic flume]

Last 2 races, could not check

[karmic lagoon]

In regards to crafting, is it best to craft the highest level items and then sell them...repeating this process for the benefit of leveling up the job?

[remote lintel]

@exotic scroll not really

[modest igloo]

not really

[faint flare]

Do ishgard restoration

To level

[karmic lagoon]

@faint flare I haven't unlocked that yet, so should I wait until I unlock that before focusing on crafting?

[exotic scroll]

Oh damn

[faint flare]

It's a very good levelling method

You can do leves prior to restoration

[boreal storm]

Restoration needs you to be lvl 20, crafters I mean

[late moat]

Can I level any class into Samurai and Gunbreaker? I main Pugilist/Monk and wanted to know if I could just level my monk to level 50 to get samurai and then to level 60 to get gunbreaker or is there class pre-requirements for them?

[karmic lagoon]

@boreal storm Across all jobs?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can be every job

[boreal storm]

Just the one you’re leveling, but yeah having all crafters is smart

[faint flare]

On 1 character

[late moat]

pog

so I can just level my Pugilist up and grab the cool subclasses then nice

Is Samurai DLC or base game? Still on the free trial

[crystal bluff]

dlc

[faint flare]

Dlc

Both are

[remote lintel]

it requires stormblood

gnb requires shb

[karmic lagoon]

@boreal storm So, do leves until 20 for say Weaver...unlock restoration, use that to level up. Wash and repeat for other crafting jobs in the future. Correct?

[late moat]

Isn't stormblood included with shadowbringers now?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

@karmic lagoon you should be leveling all crafters together

not 1 at a time

[late moat]

And then the new DLC when its out in November will have all of them at launch iirc

[remote lintel]

yes

[late moat]

I mean tbh I might take that long to finish the free trial

[remote lintel]

you definitely will not

[karmic lagoon]

@remote lintel Together? So unlock all the jobs and do that method stated above?

[wintry chasm]

^

[late moat]

I'm only on the 2nd dungeon rn

[wintry chasm]

half a year away

[late moat]

oh wait yes it is

[remote lintel]

@karmic lagoon the fastest and most expensive way is to do leves all the way to 80 but you can power level with the firmament yes

[boreal storm]

Literal months, you can do it

[late moat]

covid got me having no concept of time lmao

[remote lintel]

its 6 months away

[late moat]

How far off am I finishing the first story at the 2nd dungeon/level 20?

[faint flare]

Extremely far

[remote lintel]

like 15%

[faint flare]

Barely started

[dire prawn]

very

[karmic lagoon]

@remote lintel So for right now, the best thing I need to do is the intro missions for the crafting jobs

[remote lintel]

ARR isnt 175 hours

@karmic lagoon yes and then you level them all together as i said

[late moat]

Apparently its 100+hrs for ARR

[remote lintel]

its not

i finished it in like

less than a week

[modest igloo]

id say like 50

and then another 50 for post arr?

numbers keep changing

[remote lintel]

post ARR isnt 50

[boreal storm]

It honestly just depends on whether you focus on msq or not

[modest igloo]

ok lets set this straight

[faint flare]

Arr in total is like 60 ish hours

[modest igloo]

everyone put out the time it takes to beat each expansion

in your opinion

[karmic lagoon]

@remote lintel Okay, thank you, I'll get started on that. I assume the earlier the better since I'm currently doing MSQs etc in ARR...

[late moat]

wait what do I have to use the duty roulette function for the 2nd dungeon?

[boreal storm]

No

Click on the specific dungeon in DF

[late moat]

oh wait I see, I just messed up my q

[ebon pumice]

Any advice on how to improve these novice Desynth numbers?

[faint flare]

Just do more desynth

[ebon pumice]

I burned like 2 mill getting Armorer, Weaver and Goldsmith up some

[faint flare]

Just desynth shit you get from dungeons

Roll on everything

[modest igloo]

crafting opens up a lot during endgame so most players wait until then to do it

[ebon pumice]

^ Facts, I only just recently bothered getting my crafters to 80

Also if anyone needs help on how to get crafters to 80 the fastest/cheapest way, feel free to DM me.

[unreal folio]

normally the firament stuff is usually the fastest way right?

[ebon pumice]

Yea but you also wanna do Collectables for a good part of your leveling so you get enough scrips for your mastercraft books

[earnest garnet]

Hello, recently I've planned to start playing FF14 but I'm not sure which pack do I need to buy, theres multiple option on ff14 store i saw. For PC plateform

[dire prawn]

You could do free trial first to see if the game's worth buying (hint: it is)

[earnest garnet]

I did play free trial previously

[dire prawn]

Otherwise there's standard edition and complete edition along with the pre-order standard editon and collector's edition for Endwalker

[unreal folio]

i see, I actually want to inquire you more about lvling my CUL to 80 if possible ^^

[earnest garnet]

yeah there are a lot of option on there so Im quite confused

[lapis sorrel]

Hey guys, I redeemed a mount via code. You know where its located at?

[earnest garnet]

which pack do I need to purchase to get full game

[dire prawn]

Delivery Moogle

[dire prawn]

Complete Edition

For everything

[lapis sorrel]

That's weird. I checked that npc and it isnt there

[unreal folio]

once u redeem it via code, give it a couple of hours to retrieve in via moogle mail ingame

[dire prawn]

Wait a bit then

[ebon pumice]

No problem, feel free to DM me and I'm happy to discuss the leveling process in depth

[halcyon geode]

Hello, new player, finished lvl 50 miner quest and it said new mining quests would only be unlocked after a certain main quests mission, but I forgot the name of said quest. Does anyone know which is it?

[unreal folio]

it took me at least 6 hours to get the whale mount for my case

[dire prawn]

Before the Dawn

The final quest in ARR

[lapis sorrel]

Ah ok. Makes sense, thank

[modest igloo]

basically the starto f the next expac

[halcyon geode]

Ah, so its a lvl 50 quest im assumindo?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[modest igloo]

ye

[halcyon geode]

*assuming

[modest igloo]

the lvl 50-60 questline

[dire prawn]

All post-ARR quests and the start of HW are lvl 50

[halcyon geode]

Alrighty, thanks, still a long way to go then, just really enjoyed mining

[dire prawn]

You'll get another lvl 50 quest when you begin HW for your Miner and then it'll change over to the 50 - 60 quests

[earnest garnet]

@dire prawn Thanks, i found it. So this complete edition included every released DLC so far, except the coming one (Endwalker)?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[earnest garnet]

Aite, thanks mate

[frozen wind]

whats better for level 79 leveling?

[dire prawn]

Complete Edition has ARR + HW, and also SB + ShB

[frozen wind]

malikahs well or mt gu

Whichever dungeon is lvl 79 :^)

why do you need good ping for machinist?

[shrewd cradle]

oh yeah, daily roulettes

[faint flare]

Because higher ping makes weaving difficult

[shrewd cradle]

I forgot about that, thanks

[ripe hound]

Can I write a new Alt Leveling Guide if I want? Because it feels like we reference this bot command everyday, and it’s still not updated?

Rested Experience FAQ

'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.

[faint flare]

I hate mobile

[dire prawn]

Rested EXP

[ripe hound]

Congrats

[boreal storm]

I succeeded where others failed

[leaden ginkgo]

Haha thank you all for your effort 🙂

[modest igloo]

this aint my normal keyboard ok

at any rate

rested xp is a +50% bonus to mob kills

[ripe hound]

It’s also quite useful for Crafter and Gatheres

Granted, most of their exp come from “quest” turn in exp bonus

[manic flare]

does bismarck have a time limit?

[faint flare]

All duties do

[boreal storm]

It’s a trial so yeah

[ripe hound]

You mean Enrage?

[manic flare]

i mean before the duty time limit

not sure how we wiped

[twilit arch]

enrage then

[faint flare]

Tbose are enrages

[twilit arch]

yes, bsimarck has an enrage

[faint flare]

In extremes

[ripe hound]

I don’t think Bismarck normal have enrage?

Does it?

[twilit arch]

it does

[jade quartz]

Bismarck has an enrage in the form of island health

[ripe hound]

I see

[manic flare]

this was normal bismarck

[leaden ginkgo]

I am still quite confused about the rested XP, Can someone explain it in simpler terms heh

[faint flare]

If you fail the dps check or the island dies

[twilit arch]

if you don't kill the snakes fast enough, you will wipe

[ripe hound]

Oh right, I remember seeing that cutscene now

[leaden ginkgo]

I read it but I still don't really understand it

[jade quartz]

Snakes too yeah

[ripe hound]

Bismarck enrage event have a cutscene lol

[faint flare]

You have bonus xp while you have it

[manic flare]

i meaan after thes nakes

[faint flare]

Up to that point

[warped nest]

@leaden ginkgo staying in towns or cities build up rested exp

[ripe hound]

If nobody use the cannons, you enrage and die right?

[twilit arch]

did people forget to get off the back before he disengages?

[faint flare]

You need to use the cannons to dos bismark

[jade quartz]

Sounds like the island was destroyed

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhh! Okay thank you

[jade quartz]

Did you see like a failure cutscene?

[warped nest]

Gaining experience while having rested exp buff on your exp bar will give you bonus exp

[manic flare]

we had acutscene

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you as well

[jade quartz]

Yeah island health

[faint flare]

Yea island was destroyed

He hit it too many times

[warped nest]

Take note that rested exp burn faster for lower level class

[jade quartz]

There is a gauge on the duty list on the right of your screen

[faint flare]

Aka your dps was fucking GARBAGE

[jade quartz]

Every time Bismarck does the slam against the island it takes damage

[late moat]

how do I get disgusting DPS out of monk? I've seen videos of monk players doing some crazy DPS but I'm not sure how to do ti

[boreal storm]

Also don’t forget to use the island shield

[ripe hound]

The Balance

[jade quartz]

Using the shield generator at the right time mitigates this

[warped nest]

Regarding Bismark, Once you killed the adds, use the two anchor cannon to reel biscmark in

hey im Lv 23 should i just run POTD to Lv 52 (my current job) ?

[faint flare]

Refer to

[modest igloo]

short answer: no

[dire prawn]

If you're a DPS and your queue times are absolutely stupid yes otherwise no

Just do dungeons

[late moat]

so level 50 when I get perfect balance is when I really take off?

[crystal bluff]

No

[dire prawn]

The Balance is a Discord server

[ripe hound]

Nope, I just meant the Balance discord, sorry

[crystal bluff]

The balance is a server dedicated to finding optimal dps rotations

[late moat]

ah I see

Will take a look

Gonna watch some optimization videos too, I'm close to level 30 so I'll get my monk class soon™️

[remote lintel]

if youre not level 80 just look up weskalber on youtube

balance stuff is mostly for lvl 80s

[jovial tide]

Does nidhogg ex have to be min ilvl for tomes to be awarded?

[faint flare]

Just synced

[boreal storm]

Min ilvl would be nuts, for farming at least

[jovial tide]

Yea I saw a farm party with min ilvl that looked suspicious

Must be erroneous

[leaden ginkgo]

if u have not cleared something can you set your PF to duty completed so people who join can only get in if they cleared ?

[modest igloo]

no

you can set it as duty completion tho

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[jovial tide]

Also did they remove tsukuyomi ex from the mogtomes list or am I just misremembering it was ever there?

[leaden ginkgo]

you're misremembering

[remote lintel]

it was never there

[leaden ginkgo]

it's nidhogg and hades

^

Is there a way to filter debuffs on a boss that affect my damage? ie: trick attack. (Or trick attack might be the only one, i'm not sure.)

People mostly doing hades ex for tomestone farming

[leaden ginkgo]

you can only go all debuffs shown or only yours

How do people handle timing trick attack with other DPS cooldowns?

[faint flare]

They're expected to be used on Cooldown

There's no reason to hold them

You lose uses in the fight which is a guaranteed dps lost

You only hold them for downtime purposes

Which is fight specific stuff

[jade quartz]

Jobs generally have cooldowns which line up at either 60s, 90s or 120s

[modest igloo]

basically every big buff is on a 30,60,130, and DRG's 180

so every 60 secs people burst

[jade quartz]

Cooldown alignment occurs naturally if everyone’s using them at a good point in their openers and then on cooldown thereafter

And openers that theorycrafters make are designed with this in mind.

[jovial tide]

Is hades more time-efficient than nidhogg ex for tomes?

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, thank you for explaining.

[modest igloo]

my static delays our TA and devotion a bit to accommodate my AA/WF and our BLM'S first F4 phase

[faint flare]

Hades is roughly 10mins for 10

[modest igloo]

but in DF content use it on CD asap yeah

[raw solstice]

that sounds pretty incorrect to do, to delay trick like that haha

[modest igloo]

its a work in progress kinda thing

[finite lynx]

When boss does tank buster and u tank swap will the boss do the tank buster on the person who took agro

[faint flare]

No

The target is locked in when the cast starts

[finite lynx]

So why would u tank swap during tank buster df

[faint flare]

So the next auto doesn't kill them

[modest igloo]

some TB's also have debuffs on them

[finite lynx]

Oh ok that.makes sense

[faint flare]

You tank swap cause the vulnerablity means the next auto does 200k damage

[finite lynx]

But if u maintain mitigation u won't have too right?

[faint flare]

No

[modest igloo]

thats not how mit works

[faint flare]

The vulnerablity on the buster WILL kill your tank

If theu take autos after

[raw solstice]

it'll vary a bit on the tb, to note

since some don't debuff, or you can mitigate through fine enough without having to swap

[modest igloo]

some TB's a bene will get you back up with no issue

[faint flare]

But the ones that do debuff, you swap cause the vulnerablity is absurdly high

[raw solstice]

well in some cases you won't even need a bene haha

but yeah

[modest igloo]

true

[jade quartz]

Tank swapping during TB cast is the simplest and safest way to tank swap

[finite lynx]

So some fight u must tank swap? 100% of the time?

[faint flare]

Yes

[modest igloo]

correct

[faint flare]

Cause of the debuff from the buster

[jade quartz]

Yes the mechanic is designed into the fight to force swap

[chrome jolt]

idk if this is the right place to ask this but can someone help me on sastasha? I has no friends to help ;-;

[faint flare]

It's a very very common thing in higher end raids

[modest igloo]

e9s has 1 right towards the start

[finite lynx]

Ahhh what vulnerability does it put you at?

[modest igloo]

like 2

hp

[faint flare]

Nearly all extremes abd basically all savages have one

[modest igloo]

very low

[finite lynx]

Lmao oh

[faint flare]

The vulnerablity usually is like 200% damage increased

[jade quartz]

Normal mode content you can usually survive without tank swapping but since that just puts more strain on healers it’s still best practice to swap

[faint flare]

You WILL die without a swap

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[modest igloo]

well not 2 exactly but the point still stands

[modest igloo]

DPS queues are gonna be long, just kinda how it is

[jade quartz]

In savages the swap is usually mandatory

[chrome jolt]

Sad ;-; thanks

[finite lynx]

@jade quartz I know how I just gonna learn tank soon and didn't know if it was or now I guess it is

[jade quartz]

But even if it’s technically possible to survive without swapping it’s still stupid to do

You won’t really encounter content where you have to swap until endgame.

[modest igloo]

you can ask around novice network to ask for some help there, otherwise feel free to explore more and learn about new areas

[boreal storm]

You could also see if people in a main city will help ya out

[faint flare]

Even if yiu throw all mitigation you'll be losing like half your hp per auto

[modest igloo]

later on you'll get stuff to do while you wait

[chrome jolt]

Okie thanks

[finite lynx]

And to swap it's just shirk the person u want enmity on? and they provoke and turn stance on?

[faint flare]

They Provoke, you shirk

Both tanks keep stance on

[modest igloo]

they usually have stance on

[silent saffron]

does anyone have a fix for getting this game to show in discord activity? very minor issue I know lol, it seems the activity shows for the launcher but not the actual game

[modest igloo]

in harder content people keep it on

[finite lynx]

The OT AKA THE one ur switching with ah that makes sense

The Mt will shrik@faint flare after the ot provokes

[faint flare]

Yes

Thats how it works

[finite lynx]

Kk ty makes sense

[manic flare]

does the game penalize you permanently for abandoning duty? i had to abandon the bismarck trial as the island died 4 times

[modest igloo]

i've seen people have that issue before but #technology-discussion might know more?

[jade quartz]

No, just a 30min timer before you can use DF again

[silent saffron]

thanks, I wasn't sure if this was the correct channel or not, if the questions here are supposed to pertain more to in game problems lol

[modest igloo]

we've been having some issues trying to get people to talk in the right channels so thats understandable

@jade quartz can you move the #technology-discussion to like a general content like #endgame-lounge is maybe?

or is this a modmail thing

[jade quartz]

No that’s not in my power

[indigo dragon]

If I can play primary in the Mornings 7am+ EST, is this EU prime time and if so is there a EU population on a NA server or would it be good to switch to EU servers

[jade quartz]

You can suggest it in #discord-feedback

[modest igloo]

got it

right blue is mod

[tough tiger]

If I preorder EW will I get ShB and SB?

[modest igloo]

not until november

[jade quartz]

Yes but not until November when EW releases

[tough tiger]

Aight

I can wait

[silent saffron]

I wondered that too, I'm brand new to the game. Just bought the starter edition yesterday

I imagine the first couple expansions take a while to get through anyway, so no point in buying ShB or anything like that right now

[leaden ginkgo]

The reason to pre order EW are mostly for early access and menphina earring

30% exp boost to lvl 80

[modest igloo]

yep, there's plenty of time to play ARR and HW content

[silent saffron]

I did, I just failed to mention it

played for about a week before I bought the starter

[modest igloo]

glad you liked the game!

[silent saffron]

I'm a 13 year warcraft refugee and I'm having a lot of fun

[leaden ginkgo]

Welcome to FF XIV enjoy the story and content

[silent saffron]

thank you 😄

[boreal storm]

Most questions can be answered by doing the story quests, but ask them anyways

[silent saffron]

I've learned from others online that the MSQ are integral to advancing almost everything

[modest igloo]

correct

this is an FF game first mmo second

so MSQ will take up the majority of your starting hours

[wispy shell]

Only lvl 80 maps open up dungeons?

[modest igloo]

nah

[jade quartz]

60 70 and 80

[modest igloo]

the other ones do as well

[wispy shell]

Is it just a chance then

[modest igloo]

was gonna ask if 50 did hahaha

[faint flare]

All 8man maps do

[modest igloo]

ye

[faint flare]

At a chance

[wispy shell]

o

what's roughly the chances of a dungeon spawning

[modest igloo]

maps are all about RNG

[jade quartz]

Dragonskin, Gazelleskin, and Zonureskin maps specifically

[faint flare]

Its decently high but rng is rng

[modest igloo]

Can walk away with millions could walk away with a few thousand

[jade quartz]

Chance is thought to be roughly 50%

[wispy shell]

How many people do you need to clear the dungeon?

and can you unsync the older ones?

[modest igloo]

usually 4

[faint flare]

Tank and heal minimum

And no to unsync

[jade quartz]

3 to be safe

[faint flare]

Cause they're not qued like normal

[jade quartz]

2 manning possible but dangerous

[modest igloo]

4+ make it very comfy but gotta roll against more people

[wispy shell]

it's not personal loot?

[faint flare]

Theres the random mats and materia and the items you roll on

[jade quartz]

There is personal loot and gil, but the good stuff is in chests

[faint flare]

And gil for everyone

[mighty crater]

Is MInor Arcana a direct upgrade to Play for Astrologian?

[faint flare]

No

It doesn't give you seals for divination

[mighty crater]

Ah true

[faint flare]

Which is why you still need play

[mighty crater]

tyty

[silent saffron]

I'm a total noob on the lore of all things final fantasy, but I've noticed a ton of Lalafel NPCs in Thanalan. Is this like their home or something?

[remote lintel]

ul'dah was built from the remains of an ancient lalafell city

so yes

although the race themselves are technically from a far off land

[twilit arch]

not their ancestral home, but it is where a good portion of them live nowadays yes

[wispy shell]

Does the party need to be at the portal with you to enter the map dungeon?

[remote lintel]

a lot of races tend to gather in specific cities

[faint flare]

In the same zone

[wispy shell]

and the portal wont expire if i leave it there a couple mins?

[faint flare]

5mins

There's the duty timer on thr side

[oblique yew]

getting some weird error

"unable to complete version check"

[modest igloo]

restart

or update internet explorer

[long herald]

Good evening! Can anyone help me with some question, please? I wanna know if I can have a FFXIV Windows/PC key and a Steam key registered in the same SQEX account, but under different services or if I have to make a brand new SQEX account in order to register a different key.

[modest igloo]

steam and windows version are separate

[remote lintel]

you need completely separate accounts

[long herald]

Even if I make a new Service Account? Like Service Account 1 (Windows) and Service Account 2 (Steam)

[whole basin]

how long should i wait

[oblique yew]

IE?

as in the original thing?

[modest igloo]

yep

thats what SE uses

[oblique yew]

ther's an update for IE?

[modest igloo]

thats what the launcher uses to check

[remote lintel]

@whole basin early morning hours

[twilit arch]

you can have two separate services account, one windows and one steam yes

[whole basin]

ahhhhhh like how early O:

[remote lintel]

early morning hours means like 1-4

[whole basin]

[remote lintel]

[remote lintel]

dump gear

[modest igloo]

expert delivery

[sturdy hemlock]

aaaaah it's always the gear

[sinful holly]

or is that not a thing being able to throw them away

[remote lintel]

you should be able to get them back from the calamity salvager

[sinful holly]

gotcha thank you

[glacial isle]

does the Increase Spiritbond Gain buff disappear when certain requirements are met/I accidentally push a button?

cause it says 2 hours yet it keeps disappearing every so often

[manic flare]

run a level 60 dungeon unsynced and turn the gear in

[stark flint]

Hi guys, anyone to help me with leveling roulettes in Primal? I an trying to lvl up my dps :; (

[modest igloo]

dps is always gonna be long, no way around it really

[stark flint]

Just invite a healer or tank?¡

Instant queues if it's a healer

[remote lintel]

if you can find a healer or tank sure

[modest igloo]

the trick is finding them

and thats not easy

[stark flint]

That's why I am asking here

😄

I can tank for you guys in lvl 80 dungeons

[dusky forum]

so much reading lmfao

[modest igloo]

do you have a question or?

[modest igloo]

some people ask in #retired-na-datacenters but its not trafficed a lot

better to ask in Novice network in-game

[slim mango]

I want a separate little hotbar with non-combat skills how do I add a completly new one that's not a long line?

[remote lintel]

character config > hotbar

[potent shoal]

can I dye a glamour that's already on me?

[boreal storm]

Lvl 50 Castrum and Prae give irregulars

[remote lintel]

what do you mean quest and then duty finder

oh msq roulette

yeah

[potent shoal]

alternately, can I see how a dye will look before I apply it?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

right click and try dye preview

[median locust]

Do exp buffs like the Bozjan Earring/Menphina earring work in Bozja?

[faint flare]

No

Mob kills only

[median locust]

kk thank you

[potent shoal]

I guess some things can't be dyed

like the Ramie Poncho

dang cashmere

[ripe hound]

Is Bozja significantly faster than Dungeon leveling? Ignoring queue times

[stark flint]

No

[ripe hound]

I’m a bit burned out from Bozja... might want to switch to daily roulettes and dungeons a bit more

[boreal storm]

If it doesn’t have the little circle in the upper right corner, it can’t be dyed

[ripe hound]

But yeah, I was like, “Bozja is so fast you can level from 71-80 in 10 hours!”
Then I notice, wait running dungeons for 10 hours pretty much does the same lol.

[plain python]

are your hairstyle added from in-game available to fantasia of your character and your retainer?

[ripe hound]

Yes, unless Viera or Horth magic

[remote lintel]

only default hairstyles are available in the edit screen

[plain python]

what about viera or horth?

[remote lintel]

you have to use the aesthetician for the added hairstyles

viera and hrothgar dont have extra hairstyles

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the requirements for filling out the doman mahjong log?

[plain python]

wait, they can only use default hair?

[remote lintel]

yes

[upper cove]

Finish an entire game of quick ranked or full ranked

Twice

[leaden ginkgo]

ok ty

[oblique yew]

should i just try launching the game after some time? the version check error is still persisting

[leaden ginkgo]

So where would you do the full or quick ranked games?

[shadow oyster]

gold saucer df

[raven lantern]

if i get an additional retainer as an entry subscriber, can i still stay entry or would i need to upgrade to standard too?

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't think that matters

[raven lantern]

sweet glad they're separate

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

as standard/entry really relates to the amount of characters you can have in one world

[raven lantern]

great thank you!!

For Wondrous Tails, one of the rewards is to complete 3 lines, but isn't that impossible if I can only complete 9 of the objectives/squares?

[zinc orbit]

Wondrous Tails

Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.

Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.

Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!

[leaden ginkgo]

Heya. I'm a returning player after taking a break from a few months of my first playing. Are there any recommended worlds for a person who would casually learn Healer?

[remote lintel]

individual world doesnt matter

[west parrot]

@remote lintel thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

I played on Diabolos as a tank before, but didnt really interact with many people or the FC I was in

[ripe hound]

Nope, all worlds are viable.
Just don’t pick a data enter on the other side of the world

[remote lintel]

then find another fc

[buoyant sorrel]

If i lose the menphina earrings somehow can i get them back from the calamity salvager?

[obsidian patio]

I don’t think you can discard them so it should be impossible to lose them.

[west parrot]

Can using the duty roulette screw up my wondrous tails grid if it completes a square that messes up my lines?

[obsidian patio]

Squares don’t affect your lines until you “redeem” them.

[west parrot]

ooooh

awesome

thx

[obsidian patio]

Also, the squares don’t correlate to the same spot on the sticker board, it’s random.

[native pollen]

do i have to stay same class as quest when accepted?

[obsidian patio]

Any class should be fine.

[devout anvil]

I sended my receipt of the butterfinger mount on may 13th
And i haven't ever been replied back for it, it's still being reviewed

a friend sended theirs after me, and they got the mount the same day, any help

or should i give up at this point

[obsidian patio]

🤷‍♂️

My code took about 10 days to go through

[buoyant sorrel]

That's good I had bought the accessories from the itinerant Moogle and threw them in the armory box and accidentally put the menphina earrings in there too

[obsidian patio]

Check your spam/trash folder just in case it got redirected there.

[buoyant sorrel]

I freaked out ^^;

[devout anvil]

Nothing

I did initially got a ''your receipt was invalid'' ironed out the receipt and it was good now

and ever since i havent got a thing since

still being reviewed

[open ember]

Is this a question...?

[spiral inlet]

How low can you get GCDs down to

[remote lintel]

like 2.3 on monk or something

[modest igloo]

i think SKS MNK is about 1.75 in BSF

[devout anvil]

yes i need help with this

[open ember]

You have to contact Butterfinger themselves

[fading aurora]

@devout anvilnothing us as players can do sadly

[spiral inlet]

wow lol

[devout anvil]

how can i contact them?

[spiral inlet]

my tank is down to 2.3

[remote lintel]

thats way too fast

[spiral inlet]

2.34?

[remote lintel]

yes

[spiral inlet]

Hmmm

[modest igloo]

most tanks are at 2.42

[spiral inlet]

SS > Crit > DOH

[spiral inlet]

[modest igloo]

yep

tanks move SKS to a tier to align with raid buffs

[manic rune]

i dm’d butterfingers on twitter abt this

Hi, some receipts can take longer for the partners at PrizeLogic to validate than others. Be sure to check your spam folder and contact [e-mail], if you don’t see it.

[obsidian patio]

Check sale history, someone probably bought out the cheap ones.

[ripe hound]

It’s not really BiS, but I can still make a Omnitank “BiS” gear set if I want right?

[fading aurora]

@obsidian pationope ive seen people buy them for 1.7m when yuesterday ppl bought them for 1.2

i looked at sales

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[fading aurora]

ive seen 7 sales for 1.7m

[modest igloo]

you can try, pretty sure PLD DK and GNB share most of the same gear

its WAR thats the odd man out

[fading aurora]

why are people all of sudden buying so high

[manic rune]

bc it’s in demand for crafted weapon glam

[fading aurora]

its never been this high in demand and it almost the same 2 people buying like 15 ata time

o.o

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I think I’ll make a GNB PLD hybrid BiS

[obsidian patio]

People playing the marketboard for big profits on the weapons

[proud willow]

That's the market

[spiral inlet]

I'm on the "Third" step for anima weapon

so now I got to go to the Bonja front?

[fading aurora]

@obsidian patiobut wont they be cheaper next patch with the desynth buff

[remote lintel]

the HW relic isnt connected to bozja at all

[spiral inlet]

How long does it take to get to rank 10

[obsidian patio]

Probably, yes.

[manic rune]

probably roughly 5 hours straight of fate grinding/CEs in the area in my experience

[spiral inlet]

ooooooof

lol

[woven peak]

my friend is trying to make a character but the world is not accepting any more new characters?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, but some crafting people probably calculated and decided the demand for the weapon is high enough to justify buying high price mats

[woven peak]

will this be a long wait?

[remote lintel]

try again in the early morning hours

[fading aurora]

@woven peakask him to spam the create button

a few times

till he bypasses que

Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[woven peak]

so i just started playing the game. so many quests. do i just follow the main quest line? and grind on mobs to levels?

ohh wowww. thanks again.

[obsidian patio]

Mob grinding is the worst way to gain experience past the super early levels.

[remote lintel]

because you need to rank up

and do the blue quests in bozja

[woven peak]

gotta do some reading 😄

got it blue quest.

[spiral inlet]

ohhhh

I found him

[modest igloo]

blue quest with flames around it is the one you wanna follow

[spiral inlet]

do you think this step will be nerfed

after the next patch?

[modest igloo]

eh

50/50

[woven peak]

got it thanks!

[remote lintel]

and do your class quests

[leaden ginkgo]

if i gear my tank in upgraded exarchic and the relic will i be too far behind in EW ?

[wheat plume]

I'm doing the 4th MSQ lvl 72, a little after the first dungeon. I haven't done msq the last 3 weeks so I don't quite remember a detail that seems very important in this part of the plot.
What's ||Dream Power|| and why people are worried about that to even have me and the Amaro to ||drink something to block its effects||? I've found it's something to make people ||to sleep||, but I don't remember why to worry about that in this part of the story.

[modest igloo]

no, you'll be ahead at the start

[remote lintel]

@wheat plume ||because youre going to rescue minfilia from the eulmorans by using dream powder on them to put them to sleep, so obviously you dont want to accidentally put yourself or your bird to sleep||

[modest igloo]

but all gear will be outdated ofr EW

you'll get a free 560 at 90

[leaden ginkgo]

i can not freaking wait smh

can summer just be over

[modest igloo]

its still spring hahaha

[wheat plume]

thxs 😉

[leaden ginkgo]

how to get emperor’s set ?

how do u even upgrade exarchic

[hasty musk]

you can augment it in Eulmore

[wintry sable]

Is there Endwalker complete edition?

[west parrot]

Can I adjust my PvP hotbars while not in a PvP instance?

[leaden ginkgo]

what are the required materials

[wintry sable]

Because someone i know wants to get into the game

[modest igloo]

ye

[leaden ginkgo]

You can adjust them Wolves' Den Pier

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo screenshot the vendor

[west parrot]

@leaden ginkgo thx

[hasty musk]

You can exchange the gear itself for one material (I forget the name it's like an envelope thing ,if it's HQ it gives you exactly the right amount) and you exchange allegory tomestones for crystalline rain, which you need a different amount of depending on the gear piece itself

[leaden ginkgo]

o nvm i did the other one

its red.

[remote lintel]

then click it and read the requirements

[leaden ginkgo]

i need a lv 15 doh

sigh..

[limber kindle]

Just out of curiosity -- has anyone ever had success trying to get a key refunded by S-E after finding that they don't work with the steam version? I completely spaced on that, and it doesn't seem to be highlighted anywhere on the Endbringers landing page or product info pages. It's buried in the FAQs though.

Just curious. I've never made this mistake before, but I stupidly did this time.

[remote lintel]

you can try

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks for the help

[limber kindle]

Yeah, I did. Hoping they'll do something

otherwise I'll have a key to hand out, lol

all of my friends are on Steam or PS4/5

[spiral inlet]

wait levels don't matter in bozjan?

so I can level anything?

[limber kindle]

anything 71+

[remote lintel]

you just need to be 71 to enter

what list

[modest igloo]

syncs down AND up

[limber kindle]

character select list, I think they mean

[remote lintel]

then it will appear below the characters that you made on that world previously?

[limber kindle]

would be my assumption as well

[umbral hollow]

I forgot my square enix id and dont know what to do I could restore my password but I dont find my id on the email

any idea?

[shrewd cradle]

how do I activate the 3rd skill row?

[leaden ginkgo]

press ESC and click on HUD Layout

[shrewd cradle]

yeah I placed it where I want it, but don't know

how to.. engage it?

[leaden ginkgo]

then go to the bar where it says 3rd hotbar, and click on the gearbox next to it.

[remote lintel]

just go to character config > hotbar and tick the one you want

lets you change the shape too

[jade quartz]

just right-click on the hotbar 3

the blue name it currently has means it's hidden

right-click it to turn the name white

[shrewd cradle]

ohh yeah

[jade quartz]

and active

[shrewd cradle]

got it

[leaden ginkgo]

oooo did not know you can right click it

[jade quartz]

Also you can use numpad or arrow keys to move HUD elements pixel by pixel

so you can get them lined up properly

[shrewd cradle]

right right

how do I bind it?

perhaps on like shift + 1, 2..

[jade quartz]

System > Keybinds

[shrewd cradle]

excellent

thanks

[lilac bloom]

Are Custom Deliveries limited to 6 per week shared between all the clients?

[jade quartz]

12 per week shared between all clients

[leaden ginkgo]

For me, I use the shift buttons for the second row and control + whatever for the 3rd

[ripe hound]

And 6 per week for each client

[potent lava]

What would turning other effects to off affect? Bosses and stuff? Would it still be readable?

[glacial isle]

Is this good for the Zodiac Light step?

[remote lintel]

@potent lava other players effects

[potent lava]

Ohh

[lilac bloom]

that would mean 36 deliveries though? I didn't even touch some clients and have no allowances left

[austere meadow]

Players can also start typing text and press Tab or R1 to auto-complete the selection.
Is this still a thing, cus it's not working for me?

[jade quartz]

that's what Tam-Tara normally gives. If it's Blinding then it's on bonus window.

[ripe hound]

Nope, it means there is a limit of 12 per week, and 6 per week for each client

[lilac bloom]

OH I see what you mean.

[jade quartz]

yes. Has to be something that actually exists in the auto-translation dictionary

[glacial isle]

should I keep searching for the Blinding one or just spam Tam-Tara?

[austere meadow]

I type in sorry or sor and it doesn't work, but I know it's in there somewhere.

[obsidian patio]

just spam tam-tara, IMO.

[jade quartz]

Yeah spam Tam-Tara

or do a run of Sastasha to check if it's Blinding

[glacial isle]

👍🏾

[oblique yew]

guys

one last attempt

before i try reinstalling

[leaden ginkgo]

black mage is so freaking o/p. is there a reason why their magic is so strong?

[oblique yew]

"unable to check version" error

what to do?

[leaden ginkgo]

Glass cannon reasons

[oblique yew]

i went to IE and whitelisted http://frontier.ffxiv.com/*

[jade quartz]

Black mage isn't OP

[austere meadow]

They a DPS.

[oblique yew]

that didnt work

[remote lintel]

because black mage brings literally no utility to the party

[jade quartz]

It does do nice AoE in leveling dungeons though

[leaden ginkgo]

i thought it would have been lore specific like their magic is like reality altering or something

like wtf is xenoglossy

[oblique yew]

went to firewall, it was already allowed

[jade quartz]

A big unaspected magic attack.

[oblique yew]

turned off windows security

still didnt work

[remote lintel]

well xenoglossy is a real word

[glacial isle]

there is a lore reason

[leaden ginkgo]

enlighten mehhg

[jade quartz]

It's just powerful magic that channels a lot of environmental aether.

[remote lintel]

both pure black magic and pure white magic are super strong

lore wise

[unique gyro]

Anyone know what i can be spending excess poetics and allegory tomes on to make abit of money?

[leaden ginkgo]

wow.. crazy how blm solos dc universe XD

[silent saffron]

what's that emote where the player pulls out a sword, sticks it into the ground like Eddard Stark and there's a little campfire in front of them

[austere meadow]

Summoner lore wise is stronger, only job class to annihilate Ascians iirc.

[remote lintel]

but for meta reasons its because they bring literally no party utility, as i said

[leaden ginkgo]

which client are you using?

will blm get ‘ultima’ spell?

at 90

[remote lintel]

no

[oblique yew]

steam

[austere meadow]

BLU gonna get Ultima first, lol.

[random girder]

the sword in ground is the /cpose for female dark knights, and the campfire is a minion

[remote lintel]

@austere meadow summoner doesnt kill ascians?

[leaden ginkgo]

i see blu do crazy OPM shit y is if not a real class

[random girder]

because its op

[remote lintel]

thats exactly why its not a real class

[leaden ginkgo]

And what are you trying to do?

[oblique yew]

[leaden ginkgo]

What error is it giving you?

[oblique yew]

"unable to complete version check"

[austere meadow]

Death flare canonically destroys ascians.

[remote lintel]

huh

[buoyant sorrel]

What's the fastest/best way to cap revelation tomestones for the week?

[remote lintel]

hunt trains

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay so I see many players had this problem including me, the launcher doesn't update it so it keeps restarting. I fixed this by manually updating the launcher all you have to do is go to Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\ open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg and open it in notepad you will find BootVersionCheckMode 0, change it to 1 and save, then start the launcher and it should work.

[oblique yew]

yeah yeah

it was already at 1

i have done almost everything

firewall

[leaden ginkgo]

did you delete the boot config?

[oblique yew]

antivirus

no

[glacial isle]

Sastasha says Brilliant, keep running Tam-Tara?

[buoyant sorrel]

Ooh okay I've been out sick for a bit and haven't been able to play ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

Did you check the integrity of the game cache?

[oblique yew]

and nope, doenst work after deleting

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah it looks like you may have to re-install

[oblique yew]

honestly

wtf

500hours

and then all of a sudden

[obsidian patio]

it only killed a black mask Ascian, which are basically random schmucks given a few ascian powers

They're nowhere near as strong as the red mask ascians

[spiral hazel]

question with the POTD/Delubrum Reginae stage of relic..
what FLOORS of POTD does it mean?

cause i did 50-60 and I didnt get anything ._.

[obsidian patio]

any floorset has a chance to give them

it's RNG

[leaden ginkgo]

you could try logging in through your mobile hotspot on your phone to update the launcher

[spiral hazel]

wha..

[obsidian patio]

for better odds you want to get a premade group and go past floor 100.

[spiral hazel]

i can be any job right?

[obsidian patio]

yes

so you can do it while leveling up classes

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you using wifi or an ethernet cord to play your game?

[spiral hazel]

may as well do that then, level LNC while I do this

[dire talon]

I really want to better understand how to properly play as a SMN, and I was wondering if I should keep using Ruin II or if comboing it with Ruin III is a DPS loss.

[remote lintel]

ruin 2 is only for moving/weaving

[spiral hazel]

SMN might be being changed again in expac

if rumors are correct

[dire talon]

Ah, I see. I'm curious about how they're going to change it up again.

[spiral hazel]

who knows

im hoping they scrap the entire pet system tbh

[obsidian patio]

it's basically a given for Summoner, as they've stated that Summoner has hit a "wall" in terms of rotation length.

[spiral hazel]

PET AI sucks

[leaden ginkgo]

So, the real reason is it's a traditional thing in RPGs. Mages wore robes and cloth/light armor because any metal armor would block their ability to regain mana, or at least hamper it. Because they had virtually no defense, mages were offensive beasts. Hence the term Glass Cannon.

[dire talon]

That might be a mixed bag for me since SMN is all about pets. Unless we keep full control over the EGI.

[spiral hazel]

BLM gets ruined by the fact it has no mobility, and fights in this expansion so far have required a LOT of mobility

hence why SMN has been preferred

[obsidian patio]

BLM does have mobility

[spiral hazel]

Just not SMN levels

[dire talon]

I thought about going full BLM, but I have no clue how to properly play that class and I almost feel like I need someone to help me out. Then again, I do love me my SMN.

[spiral hazel]

BLM is no way near as mobile as SMN

or as RDM

[obsidian patio]

sure, but it still has mobility

they basically have 6-8 free GCDs of movement every minute with their cooldowns and procs

[spiral hazel]

...Sure but the reason its fallen behind in this expac is due to its lack of mobility

[raw solstice]

it isn't, no

and it hasn't fallen behind

[spiral hazel]

It's a safer bet to usually take a SMN over a BLM

in nearly all instances though

[dire talon]

The hard part is enemies that constantly keep you on the move. Never stopping unless you want to be insta-killed.

[half quartz]

I have a question about housing, when the servers are down for patching can houses be demolished? Also does the timer for plots not yet available still run during maintenance?

[raw solstice]

SMN has a lot of free mobility without loss. RDM has a lot of mobility but it's constrained and it's easy to lose out, especially with extended movement. BLM has a lot of tools for movement, especially for extended movement, so it has a bit more useful movement than RDM

[remote lintel]

black mage is arguably the most mobile caster

[raw solstice]

it isn't

SMN is for sure

it's BLM vs RDM where the argument can be made

but anyways, for BLM, you have more than enough movement to cover any requirements nowadays in fights

[spiral hazel]

SMN is far more mobile than BLM

[dire talon]

SMN certainly is, and it even has excellent DoTs that can keep up the damage in between Ruins.

Plus Fester.

[spiral hazel]

Plus every pet ability

[raw solstice]

you're comparing a lot of incomparable things

[remote lintel]

dont know if i would say it's far more mobile

you can still get like 7 gcds worth of instant casts on blm if you plan

[weary burrow]

Someone link level guide please

[spiral hazel]

[dire talon]

Well, it's for alt jobs, unless you can do the MSQ for each class.

Sweet thank you
