questions-and-help

[spiral hazel]

they didnt say if it was for non main or not tho

i just assume everyone is a new player and wants to rush

[dire talon]

True.

[spiral hazel]

I just hope BRD gets fixed in expac

[dire talon]

I personally have to look forward to trying to level up RDM, MCH, and the like.

I like to have options.

[modest igloo]

BRD is fine

[spiral hazel]

but SE has a horrible habbit of gutting other classes to make new ones

[modest igloo]

jsut not the funniest

MCH is great this expac

and DNC is super good and simple

[spiral hazel]

sure but MCH also have issues for people on higher ping

and im not even talking about HIGH ping

[modest igloo]

true, but thats been a thing before ShB

Also this is more #endgame-lounge

[dire talon]

I've seen a fair bit of people enjoying MCH, and so many Tanks as GNB.

[spiral hazel]

No class should suffer because of ping is my opinion

If a class requires youto have 20-40 ping to play optimally, it isnt a good class

[leaden ginkgo]

how to get Shire Philosopher's Coat

[modest igloo]

? i play fine on 90

[remote lintel]

buy it with poetics in idyllshire

[spiral hazel]

@leaden ginkgo idylshire, there is a NPC there you can trade for poetics. its DoM II

[crystal bluff]

Buy it with poetics in idyllshire or ishgard

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[dire talon]

Philosopher's Coat is so aesthetically pleasing, 🙂 I have it as a glamour and I enjoy it.

[leaden ginkgo]

what his/her name

the npc

[remote lintel]

the middle one in the big building

[obsidian patio]

Hismena

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks.

[dire talon]

Of course, I am in the middle of collecting all the glamours for the grimoire because I love books, and I love making my book the prettiest.

[oblique yew]

need help

how to resolve unable to download patch files error

[spiral hazel]

@oblique yew usually restart PC or it is a DNS issue

[leaden ginkgo]

There are old files left behind that are clashing with it. They need to be cleared out before trying again

[obsidian patio]

patch download error solutions are diverse. There's tons of possible solutions and workarounds

for most, the unofficial quick launcher fixes them

[jade quartz]

Yeah

[civic flare]

So I’m looking for something new to do and heard blue mage is fun to level but i don’t even know where to start. I have it unlocked but nothing more. Is there a good guide for it?

[modest igloo]

@civic flare #resources a few different ones for BLU

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone know what I'm missing here?

[civic flare]

Thanks!

[fading helm]

oh noo apparently i forgot to buy a jump cactpot ticket

i remember doing it do tho huh

[modest igloo]

the great hunt, the MH crossover

[open ember]

Great Hunt EX

Assuming you are trying to unlock mentor roulette

[lapis lagoon]

how important is defense value on armor? Im playing marauder, and the "recommended gear" feature always equips DoW armor over tank armor

[versed bison]

so the free trial is a good way to reach a high level for free before purchasing the expansions right ?

[fading helm]

yeah

[modest igloo]

kinda? more for trying out the game

[fading helm]

im almost lv 60 im on trial

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh I see ty!

[modest igloo]

lots of classes change between 60 and 80

[versed bison]

wdym

[modest igloo]

PLD gets a whole magic phase

[fading helm]

really?

[versed bison]

oh

[modest igloo]

yeah

[fading helm]

im a PLD and my moveset is starting to get boeing

so thats nice to hear

i just use the same like 5-7 moves

[open ember]

High level is lv80

And lv60 isn't even close

[modest igloo]

https://i.imgur.com/1jlrnNN.png

[open ember]

Not even remotely close

[modest igloo]

this is the PLD opener

at 80

[leaden ginkgo]

does ARR msq ever pick up a bit?

[fading helm]

lol no

maybe at the end just a little bit

[modest igloo]

it gets slower after lvl 50

[open ember]

Its a slog but

[modest igloo]

with all the post-patchs

[open ember]

It's worth it

[modest igloo]

but its worth it

[open ember]

We have the same brain

[fading helm]

im in post patch rn and even thats slow but a little better then ARR

[modest igloo]

great minds think alike

[fading helm]

i just wanna get to HW already ugh

[leaden ginkgo]

cause i havent honestly enjoyed much of it :\ i mean i dont want to miss it but man

[modest igloo]

its a slow burn

[fading helm]

i dont blame you thats how i am

[leaden ginkgo]

so many people told me its so good and im like.. when lol

[modest igloo]

its not the best but it lays the foundation

[fading helm]

but even at the end of arr u unlock stuff like 24 man raids

[versed bison]

I jusst hope this free trial is fun enough to convince me to buy this game cus it;s gonna be a huge investment due to lack of regional pricing.

Hence I am also asking if there are any indians here as well

[fading helm]

its good when ur like 200 hours in

😆

[modest igloo]

its HW that gets it together

[open ember]

That's the thing with this game. You gotta be patient because. ARR

[modest igloo]

nah id say 80 ish

still a lot

[fading helm]

really im at 125

but i guess a lot of that has also been side stuff

[modest igloo]

i did nothing but MSQ when i started

[leaden ginkgo]

like i wish i knew when i was getting into key story pieces

like fetching this and that for randoms quest givers is meh

[fading helm]

just skip all of ARR finish it quick and watch a recap video on it

trust

[modest igloo]

can't do that on FT

thats why it extends to 60

[open ember]

I personally sped run ARR in 4 days but I do not recommend it at all

[fading helm]

honestly ARR shouldnt even exist

i get why it needs too lol

[leaden ginkgo]

so should I buy the collectors edition or the standard

[fading helm]

but it just steers everyone off

[modest igloo]

not as many as wow

[versed bison]

the thing is I get anxiety when I do not play the game lol.

[modest igloo]

ff14 playerbase is higher

[fading helm]

im surprise i stuck with it but all my friends dropped it so that sucks

[versed bison]

and question everything

[fading helm]

higher than WoW?

[open ember]

You trying to buy the whole game?

[modest igloo]

yep

[fading helm]

how

[proud willow]

Still, there are some people who enjoy even ARR

[fading helm]

is it actually

[proud willow]

it's just... the later expansions are that much better by comparison

[fading helm]

interesting

[modest igloo]

from here https://mmo-population.com/activity

[fading helm]

it gets way more views on twitch tho like wayyy more

[serene dune]

can you still get XP from PoTD if you do it in a fixed party of 3?

[modest igloo]

HW is really damn good

[fading helm]

ffxiv gets like 2-3k and WoW i see at like 80k+

[modest igloo]

ye

ffxiv isnt a goos twitch game

[leaden ginkgo]

I played ARR on and off for a month until I just decided to buy the skip potion and got obsessed with the game in HW

[modest igloo]

no FF is

[versed bison]

wait.... 25 million people across the world shell out a lotta money for this game ?

interesting

[modest igloo]

yep

its THAT good

ShB is, imo, the best ff story out their

[versed bison]

shit man, I really need to catch up and be a part of this amazing community

[modest igloo]

and its endgame is sick rn

[versed bison]

but I gotta wait till november

to be a full fledged person

[modest igloo]

the game will still be here, take your time man

i'm glad i did

i wouldnt be here otherwise

[leaden ginkgo]

well im confused in the collectors edition, because in the free trail you get a realm reborn and heavensward you get it free, but in the collectors edition you get a realm reborn and heavensward. In the normal edition you get the other 2 expansions.

[open ember]

Complete edition

Not collectors

[modest igloo]

complete gives all

[open ember]

You want the complete edition

[versed bison]

yeah, I will experiment with classes and jobs while I am on free trial

[west parrot]

Do retainer's gain the benefits of gear that give extra experience (e.g. Brand New Ring)?

[modest igloo]

nope

[west parrot]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah my bad im just wondering why they are selling it if you get heavenswarn and a realm reborn for free

[modest igloo]

you dont get them for free

[open ember]

Because it lifts trial restrictions

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[modest igloo]

its a trial

not a F2P

[leaden ginkgo]

than buy the complete edition

[open ember]

You don't own the game on free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

well i know that

thats why im buying it

[modest igloo]

ye

[leaden ginkgo]

alright thanks

[versed bison]

what the hell is going on ?

[ripe hound]

Oh my fuck when did this feature got added?

[turbid pilot]

When do you earn Ixali Oaknots? After you max rep?

[ripe hound]

I no longer need to reset all my retainers to lv 1 just to change the order of them!

[versed bison]

can someone help, I cannot open the launcer

[glacial isle]

Is there any point to keeping a bunch of Materias I-V on hand if I'm not doing the Zodiac Relic that needs Materia?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is flying locked behind the msq?

[west parrot]

I would just sell them on the marketboard, you can always buy new ones if you need them again

[versed bison]

where to ask for technical help ?

[glacial isle]

can't

[glacial isle]

Yes

(for ARR at least)

(HW and beyond is different)

[leaden ginkgo]

#technology-discussion

[turbid pilot]

also, it's an odd time, Jay P. But do the standard restart and see if that fixes it first

[vital ruin]

in a lot of the runs im seeing DNC making either NIN or DRG dance partner instead of SAM why's that

[novel python]

Can I change my server or home world?

[raw solstice]

if the NIN or DRG is someone they're queueing with, or if they're parsing and see the NIN/DRG higher than the SAM. In an ideal world with similar gear/skill level the priority is

[novel python]

I’m in hyperion and wanna go to bahamut

[raw solstice]

you have to pay for world transfer

!faq worldtransfer

[zinc orbit]

Server Transfer Information

Make sure to follow the steps in order to complete transfer service:
World Transfer Service

[novel python]

That’s easy

Ty

[vital ruin]

and some runs im seeing DNC making another DNC dance partner

maybe they dunno how dancer works ig

[jade willow]

what grand company should i choose? does it matter?

[modest igloo]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

If you're in, say a leveling party, with another DNC you really have no other choice. Otherwise they're just being dunces imo

[modest igloo]

Pick your favorite color

They each has diff skills

All the buffs are different

Itd be a nightmare for Omni melees

[versed bison]

how to use quicklauncher ?

[modest igloo]

DRG doesn’t want any SKS

[void cargo]

how much mettle does delubrum give you?

[fallen meadow]

Hello! I just discovered you can rebuild the Doman Enclave but idk where the questline starts. Does anyone know by chance?

[modest igloo]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[modest igloo]

It scales but it’s a good amount

[modest igloo]

You need to do some of the yellow quests in mor dhona to start the rebuilding

[fallen meadow]

hmm

i hope I can find that

[modest igloo]

Google prolly has a list

[fallen meadow]

I've been searching and like I'm going down a rabbit hole of a random quest that requires another quest requiring another quest etc...

[modest igloo]

It’s a long chain

Like 15 some odd

[fallen meadow]

Cos I found a level 70 quest in the Doman Enclave called Precious Restoration or something like that

[modest igloo]

Ye

[fallen meadow]

is that fine?

[modest igloo]

That’s how to start

[fallen meadow]

o ok

thank you!

[modest igloo]

Did... you not do that first?

Well now you know

[fallen meadow]

No?

I just discovered this recently

so I was making sure if there were other quests I needed to do in conjunction

[modest igloo]

Their still might be

[fallen meadow]

darn

[modest igloo]

But I did mine in a wack order

Just keep doing it and ask later if you get stuck

[fallen meadow]

kk

[vital ruin]

when is patch 5.55 dropping

[ripe hound]

About Tuesday

[snow thicket]

anyone here can help me with my console account issue

[fading helm]

how do i know where to pick up my msq lol i lost it

[quiet acorn]

Look at your journal

[versed bison]

wait... so I have to buy the complete edition in order to play all expansions if I am on free trial ?

[obsidian patio]

Also the MSQ tracker UI

[fading helm]

oh yeah forogt that existed///

[quiet acorn]

Im a bit confused by the housing settings. For the guest access settings ,what does apartment access or teleportation mean ?

[obsidian patio]

if you want the most code-convenient way of doing it, yes.

[versed bison]

also does anyone here own houses lol ?

[obsidian patio]

Apartment Access means if you want to allow other people to enter your apartment. Teleport means you allow others to teleport to your estate/apartment through the friends' list.

I own a small personal house and a medium FC house.

Also an Apartment but I barely use it nowadays

[quiet acorn]

Ohhh thanks. Also the game keeps warning me about if a player moves furnishing , can players just enter and touch the furnishing ?

[obsidian patio]

No.

For apartments only you can move around furniture

[versed bison]

I feel like with 25 million players there would not be any place to buy a house lol

[obsidian patio]

the actual number of players is much smaller than 25m

[versed bison]

even if I buy the game in november which will remove the currency limit

[obsidian patio]

that's just everyone who ever tried the game.

[versed bison]

oh

[fading helm]

also if u decide to unsubscribe after like a month or something ur house gets demolished @versed bison

[versed bison]

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

[fading helm]

loll yeppp

[versed bison]

oh shit, I am planning to be of the "sporadic player who will use time codes to play" type of guy lol

[fading helm]

then i wouldnt worry about a house lol

[versed bison]

yeah

[fading helm]

just join an FC

or get an apartment

[versed bison]

FC ?

[fading helm]

yeah free company

u just stay at their house, i think?

[obsidian patio]

Free Company housing only needs any member of the FC to enter the house every 45 days at most

while personal housing only cares about the owner of the plot entering the estate

[fading helm]

is it dumb to use my moogle ticket things on MGP ticket for 50k mgp

[obsidian patio]

IMO, yes since they're more expensive in terms of tomes this time around

and if you like gil the hairstyles and shiver emote are good options

[fading helm]

if i already have one of the wolf mounts is it better i get the lv 70 paladin gear they have or is that easy to gett?

[versed bison]

Another thing, why are time codes expensive than a regular sub ?

Like for 60 days the regular sub costs like 22 euros while a time card is like 26 euros for 60 days

why is that so ?

[obsidian patio]

those usually come from very annoying sources which make them pretty valuable

The Lost Allagan fending set is old tomestone gear which can be bought with centurio seals

[fading helm]

yea that, are those easy to get?

[obsidian patio]

the Skallic Healing set comes from the Drowned City of Skalla dungeon.

pretty easy with the daily and weekly hunt bills, yeah.

[versed bison]

like why are time cards bit more expensive ?

[hot eagle]

standard sub is 13 euro per month and a time card is 2 months standard sub so it's 26 euro

[fringe bone]

how do you make a FC ?

any requirment?

[obsidian patio]

Time Cards use the standard subscription pay-model instead of entry subscription

[versed bison]

oh so time card is a standard sub.. that would explain things.. Thanks..

So for sporadic players, is time card still a good option or entrysub ?

[obsidian patio]

@fringe bone IIRC like 25k gil and 3 other players to basically sign a petition to join it.

I don't think there's an inherent MSQ or level requirement for them. If so then probably after joining a grand company at level 20 in the story for making one.

[fringe bone]

right

so you need 3 other players hmm

[versed bison]

how do y'all pay for subs ?

[neon trout]

hello im a new player just thinking of starting, how do i pay for subs on steam?

[obsidian patio]

on the mogstation.

Steam players don't need to do anything special, they just have the additional option of paying subscription with the steam wallet

[neon trout]

also, i heard this is mostly a single player experience with heavy emphasize on multiplayer, will it be better if i invite my friend of around 5 to 6 player?

will there be enough stuff to do together?

[obsidian patio]

ideally a group of 4 is best since dungeons use parties of 4 players.

but you can always be two groups of 3/4

but the story outside of dungeons and trials are balanced around being doable as any job solo.

[versed bison]

@obsidian patio you pay monthly with your card right ?

[obsidian patio]

i use a credit card, yes.

[versed bison]

ok

because I plan to use the timecard as I will be in an unstable financial position, read Higher education in the future

[fringe bone]

can a fc

have the same name as other one?

anyone

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure not.

[fringe bone]

Alrighty

[fading helm]

i honestly still dont understand this crafting job

[mighty crater]

I don't understand Collective Unconscious. It seems like regardless of Sect, you end up with the same effects with a slight difference in duration

[obsidian patio]

Which part of crafters do you have trouble with?

[fading helm]

blacksmith i guess, i just like dont understand what im supposed to be crafting

[obsidian patio]

@mighty crater The sect decides which one of the two effects persist after the bubble ends. Diurnal keeps the regen and Nocturnal keeps the mitigation.

[remote lintel]

one effect is channeled and the other lasts 15 secs

[obsidian patio]

for the low levels (1-20) you generally aim to craft one of each item for the first-time completion bonus

[mighty crater]

@obsidian patio Makes sense. Thanks

[obsidian patio]

Past that you can start to lean more on Leves, which are like repeatable quests where you turn in a requested item for lots of experience.

[versed bison]

will it still cost 40 euros once endwalker is added to the complete edition ?

[obsidian patio]

yes.

the cost of complete edition won't change when endwalker comes out.

AFAIK, the current form of the complete edition will not retroactively update itself to include Endwalker once that launches

[versed bison]

so I have to wait till november to get the complete edition then right ?

[obsidian patio]

If you want the complete edition to include endwalker then yes.

[fading helm]

wait complete edition will include endwalker as well?

[obsidian patio]

once it comes out, yes.

[fading helm]

also @obsidian patio how do i know what is the completion bonus

[obsidian patio]

items you've already crafted in the leveling log will have a checkmark by the icon in the list

[gloomy mortar]

Any way to keep all the in between anima weapons ? Or is the previous weapon just replaced with the next? Or do you have to repeat the quest with the same weapon to get the in between model?

[fading helm]

ive crafted nothing lol

[jade quartz]

can buy replicas of any step

[leaden ginkgo]

That's the modern legend hairstyle

[obsidian patio]

Once you complete the i230 step you can start buying replicas of previous steps

[jade quartz]

(Hyperconductive)

[gloomy mortar]

Ah 👍🍡

[fading helm]

are all of or atleast most of the cutscenes Voice acted in HW

[jade quartz]

More are voiced than in ARR

but nowhere near all

Each successive expansion has a larger percentage of voice acting

[fading helm]

what about Stormblood / shb?

[full latch]

Will another patch come out before endwalker?

[jade quartz]

but still not all

[remote lintel]

same thing

@full latch 5.55 and 5.58

[jade quartz]

yes, 5.55 is coming out in a few days and will contain MSQ and Bozja content

[full latch]

Oh wow lol

[remote lintel]

all expansions have patches up to .55/.58

[jade quartz]

And 5.58 may be the release of cross-datacentre travel, judging by a line in the Steam version of the 5.5 news announcement which was deleted afterwards

5.58 would also usually be when the last weekly limits are removed from content like savage.

[fading helm]

where do i buy crafting supplies again

[jade quartz]

It depends

If you're in like the first 15-20 levels of a crafter class most of the materials are bought from a material supplier at the class guild

There are also material suppliers or similarly-named vendors in the market district of every major city

[vocal oyster]

If a limited fate like Formidable happens but no one does it (it fails) will it still go on cooldown for 48h ?

[leaden ginkgo]

do you get job armor piece by piece from class quest?

[random girder]

the arr (45 and 50 typically) ones yes

[remote lintel]

you get everything except the chest at 45 and you get the chest at 50

[jade quartz]

yes, it goes on cooldown as if it was killed.

[random girder]

but then it gives you a coffer for a better recolored set after 50 quest

higher ilvl

[vocal oyster]

aw ty, someone summoned it on a server without realizing it and when we saw it it only had 3 min left :/

[fading helm]

yay i crafted bronze ingot

[trail mulch]

hey guys

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you~

[trail mulch]

why cant i trf my world

keeps saying an unexpected error has occured

[jade quartz]

What world are you currently on?

[trail mulch]

atomos

[jade quartz]

!status atomos

[fading helm]

so now should i craft bronze rings?

[zinc orbit]

Information

Atomos is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Available

[trail mulch]

!status tonberry

[zinc orbit]

Information

Tonberry is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[trail mulch]

would it change anyth if creation of new characters unavailable...?

[vital ruin]

retainers can equipt secondary dol gear right

[obsidian patio]

if it fits their class then yes.

[vital ruin]

alright

[jade quartz]

@trail mulch did you make your character within the last 90 days? Atomos was recently preferred status.

[trail mulch]

no my character has been on atomos since sept lol

[jade quartz]

If you made your character while Atomos was preferred status, then you can't transfer until 90 days have passed

OK

Is your character currently logged out during world visit?

[trail mulch]

uh ya

[jade quartz]

Your character has to be on their home world in order to transfer

[trail mulch]

so i should go back to atomos is that what ur saying

[jade quartz]

yeah

[trail mulch]

ah ok

[obsidian patio]

yep, just keep going through the log until the guild vendor doesn't have the supplies you need.

after that point you're expected to either gather the materials yourself or to buy them from the marketboard.

[fading helm]

ahh ok

wasnt as complicated as i thought i twas ig

but i dont get this durability meter

[jade quartz]

It's essentially a cap on the number of crafting actions you can do to complete the craft.

Every time you use a synthesis or touch action, 10 durability is consumed.

[fading helm]

so can i craft mtiple bronze ingot at once

[jade quartz]

Some actions you unlock later consume different amounts of durability

Yes, you will unlock quick-synthesis for crafting items in bulk a little later on

[trail mulch]

if im in a fc still does it auto leave for me

[obsidian patio]

do note that quick synthesis gives bad experience due to how crafting experience works, with the quality bar determining how much of a bonus you get.

[jade quartz]

No, you have to leave any FC and also relinquish any housing you own

[trail mulch]

how to relinquish housing?

i just emptied it out

[jade quartz]

Housing menu

[trail mulch]

wow

what a PITA lol

[fading helm]

a couple days ago i just found out i can store items in my chocobo saddle bag

[trail mulch]

i thought itll auto for you

[oblique glacier]

Hello good morning, can you spam duty roulette and get the bonuses more than once?

[jade quartz]

No

Daily roulettes give rewards once daily, hence the name daily roulette.

[oblique glacier]

i didn't see the daily part hehe

[jade quartz]

oh well they're actually not called daily

But they are daily.

😔

[oblique glacier]

how much exp does a dungeon run give?

lvl 15-17

atleast 10k?

[proud willow]

a dungeon will usually give you a full level at least, when you're below 20

[oblique glacier]

o nice

[dim smelt]

Hi I'm getting unable to complete version check . It was working fine till last night but when I open it now I get this error

[fading helm]

can i sell cloud of darkness card for MGP?

[dim smelt]

Any solutions ?

[proud willow]

all cards can be sold for MGP, check the Card Trader in Gold Saucer near the card section

[obsidian patio]

@dim smelt can you take a screenshot of the error popup?

[fading helm]

i coulda sworn i just got a new hammer thing that they gave me for lv.5 crafter

but i dont see it in my inventory

it was pliers or something

[dim smelt]

@obsidian patio just doing a system reset but I'll tell your the number 1 sec

unable to complete version check (30605)(20447)(20526)

[leaden ginkgo]

if it went to your armoury chest, it's in your offhand pile

where shields are

[onyx anchor]

is there a way to see every soul crystal you got without the cannot equip overlay on them?

[fading helm]

ohhh yeah i see now

what do these pliers do?

[leaden ginkgo]

you can turn off the greying unable to equip items in the character settings

[obsidian patio]

Soul Crystals also have their own section in the armoury

[leaden ginkgo]

it's just a side thing, it's gear

[onyx anchor]

that doesn't affect soul crystals

[leaden ginkgo]

though there are crafts that use those pliers

[fading helm]

uh oh

i have no more inventory space left...

[leaden ginkgo]

well there's /micon item "Soul of the blank" but I don't remember what the exact macro name is

[fading helm]

what should i do lol

[leaden ginkgo]

stop hoarding stuff

[obsidian patio]

Make room

[fading helm]

should i just eat all this food like whats the point of it

[obsidian patio]

sell off cheap monster materials

[onyx anchor]

i wanna see all my soul crystals in my armoury without a damn overlay over them ;-;

[obsidian patio]

food gives minor stat buffs and 3% bonus experience for killing monsters or crafting/gathering stuff.

[onyx anchor]

if SE is gonna make a setting, can they at least make it work completely?

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm sure it's something to do with spaghetti code

[fading helm]

what do i do with grade 5 dark matter again

[leaden ginkgo]

anything from 1.0's existence tends to be fucky

[leaden ginkgo]

well technically you use it to repair gear from anywhere but grade 7 covers everything

[obsidian patio]

!item grade 5 dark matter

[zinc orbit]

**Grade 5 Dark Matter** **:** Catalyst : ilvl 1

*It has recently been discovered that this substance of unknown origin has the faculty to assimilate with other forms of matter, effectively restoring them to their original condition. This specific grade of dark matter has been shown to bond best with precisely crafted items made from high-quality materials.

[Used to repair equipment for levels 1-50.]*

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

(read the tooltip)

repairing can be done as long as you have the needed crafting class at most 10 levels below the equip level of the item.

so a level 80 katana that is repairable by blacksmith needs a level 70 blacksmith or higher.

[fading helm]

is cloud of darkness card good

or should i just sell it

[leaden ginkgo]

use it, honestly you're gonna get more

[obsidian patio]

if you don't have any other 5-star card then use it

[dim smelt]

I've disable firewall change the bootcheck version to 1 and stuff nothing seems to work . Trying system restore now let's see how it goes

[fading helm]

whos the easiest person to VS in triple triad? lol

of the bots

[proud willow]

Trachtaum in Lower La Noscea is pretty easy

his AI misplays cards

[fading helm]

i thought i had to vs someone in gold saucer

[proud willow]

NPCs all over the world play Triple Triad

[short jasper]

Add one, then sell any more. There's rewards for having more cards.

[white junco]

I was wondering if im getting back into the game how should i buy the expantions? Should I just pay for the Complete edition. I only have the base game and it seems heveansworth

[proud willow]

buy Shadowbringers, not Complete

[short jasper]

If you've ever bought into the game, buy Shadowbringers only.
If you have not and just used the trial and never paid, get Complete.

[empty kestrel]

Hey, is there a way to like, adjust the camera? I feel like my character is below the middle of the screen all of a sudden and its really bothering me

[dire prawn]

If you already own the base game just buy ShB

[fading helm]

wait if u just buy shadowbringers do u get the other expansions as well?

[dire prawn]

Controller?

[proud willow]

you get Stormblood with it

[empty kestrel]

Mouse and keyboard

[white junco]

o really

[fading helm]

then why would anyone buy the complete edition

[dire prawn]

Scroll wheel

[white junco]

ok thanks i didnt know that

[fading helm]

if they can just get shadowbringers

[short jasper]

Because they don't own the base game and only have trial.

[dire prawn]

It comes with the game

[fading helm]

oooohhh yeahhhhh i forgot...

[empty kestrel]

Sorry, i should of like been more specific. I know scrool wheel zooms in and out, but can i move it up and down?

[fading helm]

sigh

[white junco]

isnt there storm blood also

[proud willow]

there is a camera height setting

[short jasper]

That comes with Shadowbringers. You only need to buy the current expansion.

[empty kestrel]

Do you remember where i can access it?

[white junco]

ok thanks

thank god i asked

[short jasper]

no probs

[leaden ginkgo]

how long will servers be down from 5.5?

[white junco]

almost paid 60$

[cunning terrace]

hi i have a probably very stupid question, the free trial doesn't have a time limit right?? my friend says she is playing the free trial but her time expired, but I could have sworn there's no 30-day limit anymore

[short jasper]

In order to implement patch 5.55, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds at the time below, during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your understanding.

[Date & Time]
May 24, 2021 8:00 p.m. to May 25, 2021 3:00 a.m. (PDT)

• Completion time is subject to change.

[leaden ginkgo]

no limit no

[white junco]

is she playing the wow trial lmao

XD

[fading helm]

so should i just buy the starter edition for $11 and then buy shadowbringers for $30?

will that work

[cunning terrace]

ok... she says the login screen is telling her the trial expired and im soo confused

[short jasper]

Complete is both

[cunning terrace]

HAHAHAHA

[fading helm]

but complete is $60

[white junco]

it includeds like free 30 days

for brand new accounts

but ya maybe get out a calcutor

[fading helm]

but dont i get the same thing and save 20 dollars ? lol

[white junco]

ooof you might be right

[obsidian patio]

What site are you getting these discounts from?

[fading helm]

newegg

[obsidian patio]

👌

[fading helm]

when the game goes on sale is it for 30 usually or 40 i forget

for complete

[obsidian patio]

highest %off usually seen is 50%

[fading helm]

rightt

i think im just gonna get complete edition with stormblood for $16 and then that content should fill me up until endwalker?

or atleast ill play and then buy shadowbringers , but then i feel like whats the point if i get all the way to stormblood why would i not get shadowbringers lol

[sudden gust]

How long does it take to get MSQ boost in the mail?

[proud willow]

they're selling Stormblood keys still? that is unusual

[fading helm]

well the old complete edition yeah

[obsidian patio]

be wary of old keys like that since they might be used

[fading helm]

rlly

hmm the seller has a good rating

[obsidian patio]

Most of the Newegg stuff I read on trust mainly comes from their hardware sales instead of software/games

[remote lintel]

it won't take you 6 months to play stormblood

[fading helm]

well, stormblood and HW?

not 6 months but like 3 months

[remote lintel]

no it wont

[obsidian patio]

probably a month per expansion at the most

depends a lot on how much a day you play

[remote lintel]

I beat the entire game in like

[obsidian patio]

and how much extra content you do

[remote lintel]

a little over a month

[vernal urchin]

i've had two friends go through the game recently and they blazed through both ARR and HW within a month and a half

and that was them also doing some side activities

leveling gatherers and whatnot

[dim smelt]

It's just ffxiv that seems to have thr problem everything is is working fine

Will the quicklauncher fix it ?

[obsidian patio]

for the most part, yes.

[dim smelt]

Ohk

[obsidian patio]

It gets around a lot of the patch and download errors

[silk valve]

Anyone have issues with FF14 and DX11? I have a friend who’s game constantly crashes. She’s reinstalled the game, rolled back DX11 back to DX9, rolled back and reinstalled GPU drivers, downclocked her GPU, limited her FPS, etc. still crashes. Sadge.

[dim smelt]

When the new patch drops I will have to open the main client or will this one work also ?

[fossil zodiac]

Just started playing on friday and I'm currently doing the MSQ(?), and I always have to wait a long time to find a party for the "dungeon" quests (not many people doing these obv., and I assume over-supply of DPS), there is no way to either skip these or do them solo, right?

[vernal urchin]

no, you just have to wait for people to matchmake

you will get in eventually, as higher level people run roulettes that put them in older content

but yeah welcome to solo DPS queuing, it's pain

[silk valve]

You can have a higher level unsync the dungeon and run you through it I believe.

[fossil zodiac]

Alrighty, thank you. At level 30 my Arcanist can become a Healer(Scholar) if I read that correctly(?), might get a bit faster then. 😄

[dim smelt]

It says updating in-game addon

Can I still use act ?

[vernal urchin]

yeah, healer queues are generally pretty quick

[fossil zodiac]

It's a level 20 dungeon I'm waiting for atm and I'm level 28, I don't think that is enough to do it solo 😄

[hasty musk]

more specifically, you can become Scholar when you unlock the ability to get your job stone, which requires you to get to a specific point in the MSQ as well as being level 30

[fossil zodiac]

I feel I somehow outleveled the MSQ, even tho I have almost only been doing my class questline(?) and MSQ.

[vernal urchin]

unfortunately not, it's generally a good idea to be more than 15 levels higher than the dungeon to unsync it without hassle

and that's intentional

[fossil zodiac]

Good to know, thy.

[hasty musk]

the exp curve is super out of wack, dw

[fading helm]

i dont understand anyone who would want to willingly play lord of verminion lol

[hasty musk]

that's why no one does afaik

[silk valve]

I meant you can have another player run you through it, most people are pretty friendly and willing to lend a hand.

[dim smelt]

This is the error I get

[patent citrus]

how do i get recollection replica stuff without having to do 15x delubrum???

i regret myself for upgrading to law order, dam

[hasty musk]

If you're at the 15 delubrums step, you should be able to get the recollection replica from the lady who gives you the replicas, shouldn't you?

[manic rune]

only other option is running potd

[limber swan]

i have a question how do you get forgotten fragments again from bozja?

[manic rune]

they drop from mobs, skirmishes, and CEs

different mobs drop different kinds

[limber swan]

i see

cuz i need the fragment of mastery

[manic rune]

theres a drop table out there somewhere but i don’t have it handy

[limber swan]

agh oh no

i just need one more timeworn artifact...

dont really got time to look for a table too

might as well go in with my lost font of power

[manic rune]

you can only get mastery from CLL

[limber swan]

i guess itll manage right if i have that

[patent citrus]

can't 😂

[limber swan]

Ah fr?

that makes a lot of sense

[patent citrus]

i can only get it when i finished the augmented law order

[limber swan]

those essences are op

[hasty musk]

wtf that's dumb

[manic rune]

that’s how relics have always been

you can’t get the replica version until you finish up to specific steps

[oblique glacier]

can i do 1 dungeon per day?

[manic rune]

yes?

[oblique glacier]

i have a check mark on a dungeon a ran rn

[patent citrus]

why not? o.O

[oblique glacier]

i mean

is there a limit

or i can spam

[manic rune]

check mark means you’ve completed it

[obsidian patio]

the checkmark just means you've done it before

[oblique glacier]

i got 3 levels from it lol

[obsidian patio]

there's no limit at all for how much dungeons you can run

[patent citrus]

it's just means you've completed it once before hehe. yeah it's normal to gain 3 levels

[manic rune]

you can definitely spam dungeons as much as you like

[oblique glacier]

i feel so dumb for not doiung this until now

[patent citrus]

duty roulette is the one that only should be done once per day

[earnest garnet]

I got this error when I try to transfer my Free Trial account using Activation Code. Any solution for this? Generally what will cause this?

[oblique glacier]

i just did it tho

and im in queue again

[patent citrus]

just once a day

for duty roulette

[hasty musk]

you only get the bonus once a day

[manic rune]

don’t do it again if you already did it today

[hasty musk]

you can do it all you want but you get the bonus once

[manic rune]

go back to doing your highest lvl unlocked dungeon

if you want to level

but if this is your first class, msq is the best way to level up

[oblique glacier]

when i join queue it says duty roulette, it means im just in queue?

[hasty musk]

yes

[oblique glacier]

are trials good exp? or i should keep spamming dungeons

[mild ermine]

What can you do with extra imperial notes from Bozja? Nothing? Do I just get rid of em?

[patent citrus]

all duty roulette gives good exp generally

[mild ermine]

Field Notes, sorry.

[patent citrus]

but it's limited to once per day

[oblique glacier]

so i do the ifrit trial and keep spamming dungeons afterwards yea?

[patent citrus]

oh that trial you mean..

I meant duty roulette: trials sorry

if you choose it manually from the trial tab, they don't give exp

[oblique glacier]

soooooooooooooooo in conclusion spam dungeons and msq

[patent citrus]

yeah just highest level dungeons give exp

[oblique glacier]

yepyep

[drifting dome]

dont do x0 level dungeons though

they give the least exp

[oblique glacier]

i have only up to lvl 17 are there more ? im currently lvl 23

[drifting dome]

for example 50/60/70

@manic rune ty so much

[manic rune]

@oblique glacier have you finished msq?

[patent citrus]

and everything is locked behind main scenario quest

you shouldn't put too much focus on your job level

[mild ermine]

@manic rune Where is the historian btw?

[swift pasture]

which of the lv 60 dungeons give the most EXP?

[dim smelt]

Anyone ?

[manic rune]

near entrance of the bozja starting area

great gubal library

[oblique glacier]

i leveled up to 30 with a lnc, but realised i don't want to play it so i switched rogue, and now im trying to get to the required lvl for msq so i can keep playing rogue

[patent citrus]

none 😂 you do the lv 59 one

[manic rune]

lvl cap dungeons give very little exp

[manic rune]

are you downloading the game for the first time?

[swift pasture]

I didn't know about that, thank you!

[swift pasture]

Thank you!

[fringe lotus]

Are there server specific discords? If som anyone got the Adamantoise one? 👀

[dim smelt]

@manic rune no been playing for 3 years was working fine till yesterday but today I started getting this error

[manic rune]

did you change your internet connection somehow?

try going into your firewall and make an except for ffxiv

if that doesn't work, try using a vpn and see if that'll let you in

[jolly sorrel]

Getting the 36 memories from alliance raids, the grind is starting to get to me. Is doing FATEs at least reasonably comparable, solo? Or is it really undoable unless with a full party?

[manic rune]

if nothing else works, try a 3rd party launcher

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[dim smelt]

@manic rune 3rd party launcher works perfectly

[manic rune]

#resources

[dim smelt]

I'm just scared for when endwalker comes out I won't be able to update or if there is some latency or fps drops due to launcher

[manic rune]

doing fates was definitely a lot faster for me. i got all the memories in about 3-4 hours of grinding, but it will depend on your rng. fate farming in the lochs is your best bet bc you get level synced up to 72-73

[manic rune]

the launcher is only responsible for starting up the game, so things like latency and fps aren't really affected by it

there might be some compatibility issues with new expacs, but we're not sure how that'll affect the launcher. you might have more luck asking about it in their discord instead

[dim smelt]

I did they said unless something drastic changes it shouldnt be a problem

So I'll stick with the quick launcher

[final steeple]

is the Regalia car coming back?

[leaden ginkgo]

where to get this item

[manic rune]

yes

[final steeple]

nice

thank you

[manic rune]

you should be crafting the grade 4 skybuilders' items

you can get these materials from the diadem

or you can buy off the marketboard

[leaden ginkgo]

i only need to craft grade 4 ?

[manic rune]

yes

the ones from before are from previous ishgardian restoration phases

[dim smelt]

Vpn fixed the issue :)

[leaden ginkgo]

who's diadem i couldn't find her/him

[dim smelt]

It would seem my local connection was blocking it

[manic rune]

the diadem is an instanced area for gatherers to get materials from

[leaden ginkgo]

im just a level 20gsm

complicated

[manic rune]

if you dont have a gatherer levelled enough, you can just buy the approved grade 4 materials from the marketboard

unless you're on free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

i just want 1.8k scrips

for the hair

[manic rune]

the hair is also available on marketboard iirc

if you're willing to spend gil for it

[leaden ginkgo]

1m gil ?

[manic rune]

it's either that or doing the crafts manually

[leaden ginkgo]

:-:

how many do i need to craft grade 4

in order to get 1.8k scrips

[hot eagle]

if u mean modern legend its like 200k on the light dc

[leaden ginkgo]

oof

[manic rune]

talk to the collectable appraiser

[leaden ginkgo]

👍

[hot eagle]

you can use world visit to buy from another world on your dc

[leaden ginkgo]

ill try make it manually

[manic rune]

the scrip amount depends on the level of item you submit

this is for a lvl 70 item

[slow isle]

I was told by my fc that after maintenance might be a good time to scope for houses. When is that cst?

When endwalker releases will it replace shadowbringer in the complete edition?

[leaden ginkgo]

i need to make it 50 colloectability to trade with her ?

[manic rune]

yeah

use your crafter skills to get it up to at least 50

[leaden ginkgo]

i couldn't .

[vital ruin]

which step in the resistance relic requires you to farm fates in azim steppe

[manic rune]

otherwise you can't trade it in and you don't get any rewards

[manic rune]

you need some better crafter gear then

[leaden ginkgo]

it seems so

markbaord ?

or npc for lv20

[manic rune]

npc vendors will be cheaper usually

[leaden ginkgo]

in their guild ?

i see

is it permanent?

[manic rune]

no, but you need to spend poetics to get the opportunity to change it again

[limber swan]

i see

is this relic currently the bis?

probs not

bis for drks

or like in general atm

cuz i know the eden weapons i lvls are higher atm

[manic rune]

not until 5.55

[limber swan]

alright

Is it alright if i just say nothing?

what will happen 😛

[manic rune]

you exit out of the stat change menu and you don't get extra stats on your weapon

[limber swan]

hm

damn

[vital ruin]

im at rank 6 do i have access to that quest yet@manic rune

[manic rune]

no

[vital ruin]

im doing for want of a memory

how far is it

[dim smelt]

@hexed island just use vpn to open the. Turn it off before you login

[manic rune]

have you done castrum yet

[dim smelt]

It fixed the issue for me

[vital ruin]

nope

[manic rune]

it's after the step where you do castrum 3 times or crystal tower 15 times

[vital ruin]

oh haven't done that step

im doing the step after getting the weapon with tomes

[fading helm]

how do u get this armor? the 2nd one

it looks so cool

[manic rune]

by exchanging bozjan gold coins in the bozjan southern front

[fading helm]

its for samurai?

or like shadowbringers content?

[manic rune]

it's post-shadowbringers content

[fading helm]

ohhh i see

[leaden ginkgo]

for resistance remember quest

is it faster to go by raid or fate? o.o

[manic rune]

depends on your rng

it was faster to do fate grind for me

you should fate grind while queuing for the raids to be efficient as possible

generally it's pretty fast to do it through fates if there's at least another person doing the fates at the same time as you

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thanks ><

[jolly sorrel]

Thank you, I'll do that!

[hasty musk]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

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

[hasty musk]

for your convenience

[oblique glacier]

i thought the healing chobo provides is good but it literally heals 30 hp, i preffer it to tank, and i can't find a way to respec 😦

[dim smelt]

@hexed island no worries :) I was stuck cycling through ways for so long before trying vpn haha. I suggest bord vpn get the free version since you only need it to login no need to pay for faster connection

[hasty musk]

you can put skills points in all of them can't you

[oblique glacier]

I guess but still

[hasty musk]

afaik speccing into one branch doesn't mean it doesn't do the other things

[oblique glacier]

ye but i got only 1 point kek

[hasty musk]

then get some more points

[oblique glacier]

ty

it doesn't let me mark any one of them

i pressed join and it put me into a queue for ifrit...........

oh nvm i literally need to click the box ok sory

[left vigil]

Hi everyone! Im a beginner FFXIV player and I want to start a job to enjoy the story. I want a healer with a respectable amount of dps skills, because I tried White Mage and it was boring as hell. Is SCH hard for beginner FFXIV players? I come from wow so i have a decent experience in mmo s, but not in this game.

[glossy flare]

I wouldn't say any of the healers is hard, though Scholar has a different playstyle in some areas (more preventive rather than reactive)

However the amount of dps skills won't change much, no matter what healer you pick

It'll always be one single target dmg spell, one dot and one aoe

While scholar has one more skill

but that's it

[shrewd owl]

doesnt whm have more dps skills

assize and that uh

[glossy flare]

ah yeah, assize

[shrewd owl]

afflatus skill

[manic rune]

misery

[glossy flare]

true, if anything WHM has the most dmg skills

at max lvl anyway

afflatus misery is lvl 74 iirc

[left vigil]

so far ive been throwing rocks and blowing some air on mobs 😄

[shrewd owl]

scholars have the crit chance buff

what level are you

[manic rune]

whm starts off slow but it does hit incredibly hard later on

[glossy flare]

Yeah, switching healers will change the aesthetic but not the mechanics I'm afraid 😄

[manic rune]

overall it still has low mobility

[shrewd owl]

scholar has ruin 2

for mobility and weaving

[glossy flare]

The point is that healer dps is very straight forward across the board

[left vigil]

so its not the best idea to do story with a healer i guess

[glossy flare]

So don't expect things to change by switching job

[manic rune]

i wouldn't say that

[glossy flare]

Not at all, doing the story with a healer is perfectly fine

Especially for the mandatory group content

[pearl mesa]

I did the whole story as WHM and loved it, it's just a different experience than DPS.

[glossy flare]

fast queues and all

[pearl mesa]

And yeah, your queues are way faster.

I leveled DRG later and it was much harder to get into duties.

[glossy flare]

All the solo instances you need to do for the story will have the echo on so even healers can kill stuff

So if you wanna play healer go for it

[left vigil]

when you say that sch is a preventive healer, you mean that one should know the mechanincs in a dungeons for the job to be effective?

[glossy flare]

Not necessarily

[manic rune]

it means you shield dmg

[shrewd owl]

it has like shielding and stuff

[pearl mesa]

No, SCH is just focused on shielding damage instead of healing it once it's happened.

[shrewd owl]

for raidwides and tankbusters

[manic rune]

compared to regening hp

which is what whm does

[glossy flare]

Of course knowing mechanics helps with that

[shrewd owl]

although usually you just indom and forget about it

whispering dawn and sacred soil are really good too

[glossy flare]

but it's not required, especially not in casual content

Also after you play the game for a while you kinda get a feel what animation/ability name will be a raidwide or a tankbuster

So you can usually react accordingly

[manic rune]

neither healing nor tanking are particularly difficult in xiv, especially in casual content

[glossy flare]

Yeah, in casual content tankbusters are just a bit of a tickle and raidwides are... eh

It's good to get used to your job

[left vigil]

i see. and is that true that summ and sch share a level? so what if i just stick with summ during story missions and sch for duties?

[manic rune]

you can do that if you want

[glossy flare]

That would work, yes

[shrewd owl]

you could do that yeah but you'd need two armour sets

[glossy flare]

You would need different gear for each though

[left vigil]

oh

[glossy flare]

They share a level but not gear

[left vigil]

darn

[manic rune]

early on they both use gear for magic classes, but later that splits off into gear for healers and gear for magical dps

[glossy flare]

And their weapons are different from the get go, even though both are books

[left vigil]

interesting.

[manic rune]

but in most cases story missions ARE the duties

there are some solo instances, but they aren't super common

[left vigil]

i meant running around the world, killing stuff

[glossy flare]

But just for the record again: Healers deal very respectable dmg

And they should deal that dmg

it's important they do

[left vigil]

ye i know, its just not the most fun to cast 1 or 2 spells till lvl cap

[manic rune]

but yeah, you can freely switch classes in the open world so you can be whatever you want

[glossy flare]

Yea I get that

[pearl mesa]

That's just what low-level healer gameplay is.

[glossy flare]

healer dps is boringly straight forward

[pearl mesa]

Low-level most classes, really.

[manic rune]

if you want a more clicky healer with higher apm, astrologian is good

but that is locked behind story progression

[glossy flare]

If you want the best of both worlds (semi interesting rotations and fast queue times) you'd have to go tank I guess

[versed bison]

since I am gonna buy this game in november due to endwalker, what to do to make the most of the free trial lol ?

[glossy flare]

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[glossy flare]

That list should cover the important stuff you can do

[left vigil]

again thank you everyone. you were a huge help.

[alpine shadow]

you can do all upto heavensward

[drifting dome]

scholar is a procative healer not a reactive healer

[agile laurel]

up the the end of heavensward*

[drifting dome]

saying it's a shield healer is wrong because u dont want to shield in 90% of content

it's more correctly to be describe as a midigation healer

[agile laurel]

scholar played

-without a knowledge of what you're capable of
-without a knowledge of what's about to happen

is pain

[versed bison]

that's good. I just hope I do not forget about this game lol, as I got like exact 7 months to go

[onyx kiln]

got this error message twice in a row. What is it based on?

[glossy flare]

Just stay subscribed so you get reminded by the monthly cost

[versed bison]

I am currently on free trial

[glossy flare]

I was just joking 😄

[versed bison]

but yeah, I just hope to fully enjoy this game and be a part of this awesome community

[drifting dome]

sch is better than whm and astro for "without a knowledge of whats about to happen"

since their midigation tools are the strongest of the 3

[agile laurel]

that is, if you're expecting that something's going to happen for some reason

if shit's taking you by surprise then you're going to suffer for it

[drifting dome]

nah

[left vigil]

i prefer reactive style healing

[drifting dome]

that's literally for every class

mechanics happens

u dont know whats gonna happen

u can shield + soil

whm/astro can't do that because their tools take too long

[agile laurel]

the nature of exceling in mitigation is 'it needs to mitigate something'

as opposed to, pressing rapture twice

[drifting dome]

idk are u talking about not knowing whats going to happen

or are u talking about taking incoming damage u weren't aware of

[agile laurel]

i am talking about learning and leveling scholar, not playing it at an endgame level

i.e. what's relevant

[drifting dome]

joined mid convo

during leveling it doesn't matter what healer u pick

they are all the same until 60

[oblique glacier]

do people just give out commendations randomly or does it actually mean i did good?

[pearl mesa]

It usually means you did good.

[agile laurel]

semi random

they're literally free

[glossy flare]

It may mean you did good

but it doesn't have to

[agile laurel]

it means 'I remembered to press commend, and I decided to commend you of the 3 other people'

[glossy flare]

Just take 'em and be happy about it

[oak ice]

Pity comms exist

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[oblique glacier]

xD

[agile laurel]

plus if you're a healer people tend to default to commending the healer whatever happened anyway

[oblique glacier]

oh well, I'll just stick with the thought that I did well

[glossy flare]

Also there is a tank and healer bias

[oblique glacier]

no no im dps

[agile laurel]

that is different

someone either did the rebel move of commending dps, cause nobody ever does

you legitimately did good

or the other 3 of them were a premade party and you were the only option

[oblique glacier]

LMAO ok

[agile laurel]

or someone really did just comm randomly

[stable hinge]

I once got 7 comms in the nier raid as DPS definitely wasnt a premade of 7

[oak ice]

Some people comm sprouts as long as they don't eat glue the entire time

[glossy flare]

Now you can see why the comm requirement for the ingame mentor role is a joke

[agile laurel]

i mean all of the requirements for ingame mentor are a joke

[glossy flare]

Yes

[drifting dome]

mentors are a joke anyways

such a useless role

[hasty musk]

it has good intentions but also it's entirely controlled by the playerbase, which means it's variable

[agile laurel]

and insultingly easy to obtain. but that's beside the point

tl;dr don't trust anything an ingame mentor says more than any other player

[drifting dome]

trust people who try to help genuinly

[earnest garnet]

anyone have an issue that, every time login from launcher, the notification say restricted and ask me to change password. Multiple time?

like I just got that and change 5 minute ago, did something to activate with game code, then login again, it says the same thing says that my account restricted and need to change password again

[hot eagle]

maybe wait a bit before you login again after you changed our password like 15-30min and if nothing helps contact support also if you use a vpn turn it off

[deft vortex]

Anyone knows how to delete these elements from the HUD editor? I don't want to see them as I don't use CROSS Hotbar

[jade quartz]

You can get rid of the two W cross hotbars by going to character configuration > hotbar settings > cross > untick "position WXHB separately from XHB"

[leaden ginkgo]

so my main role was ARC and i got it up to 17 and i tried THM and got that to 15

is it better to stick with one

[patent citrus]

how much poetics do I need to get the HW relic till final step?

[glossy flare]

neither is better

both are good

Stick with what you enjoy

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh ok

[patent citrus]

a bit too early to decide 😂

[leaden ginkgo]

i’ll just progress through the story with one

[patent citrus]

but you can easily level both at the same time, just change weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

because i get level gated

[agile laurel]

assuming you do none of the other options to obtain the items, and just spend poetics, and assuming you get really unlucky with crystal sand, 17,750. i think.

mind you that's the literal highest potential amount

you can bring that down by obtaining some items via weeklies, beast tribes, etc etc.

[patent citrus]

18k poetics? dam

[versed bison]

wait... which expansion has the best ff story according to some here ?

[deft vortex]

Thanks Lima, That worked for the bottom two, any way to disable Cross hotbar completely?

[glossy flare]

Highly subjective so... 🤷

[patent citrus]

subjective?

[jade quartz]

Nope, just drag it offscreen

[scenic flax]

hi, is the game under maintenance rihgt now?

[glossy flare]

no

[jade quartz]

Nope, it's up

[scenic flax]

having this error atm

[jade quartz]

most people would probably say Shadowbringers, some would say Heavensward

[jade quartz]

try this

[versed bison]

I see
