thanks, I'll see how this goes. I returned to the game after 7-8 years so everything is new atm.. I started with a melee dps, but if the wait queues are too long I'll try a healer in the future.
what level is poetics bought for?
Ah thank you.
well guys. i did it
50, 60 and 70 for poetics
running roulettes while leveling an alt job is a decent idea, since the main story quests give so much xp for your main job
it takes time
how long
usually a couple of minutes since it's not account wide
though under level 50 you only have access to leveling and guildhests, and guildhests are kind of a waste of time
would it be at the delivery moogle?
Yes
usually what's the best way to level 11-16?
!faq altlvlguide
ah i was once so hesitant on spending money just to get the game and now here i am spending $10 for phantasia lolll
Potd can be done at level 1?
hunting log, fates, leves, and guildhests
and potd, yes
It can
potd can be done from level 1
whats a12 in this context? I know a hunt trains about to begin but idk what else
A ranks, 12 marks so basically a full train is ready to hit all of the A ranks for that expansion (most likely shb)
i see thanks
when is the moogle event ending
june 14th
i c
right-click their name
how do i join a potd group?
if you go with a matched group it will matchmake you, like it would in duty finder
fixed group goes with how many people are in your party already, which if it's none, sends you in solo
solo potd is not recommended until you get your aetherpool upgraded
not recommended at all frankly, unless you're going for the solo achievements
so garlemand is gonna be a proper location in endwalker ?
Is this what they meant with "out of this world exploration" ?
No. ||One of the zones is on the moon.||
correct
where do people get more glamour prisms?
the market board
anyone down to run The Great Hunt Extreme?
grand companies sell them for seals too
you might try one of the recruitment channels
but it's also late night on a weekday so might not get anybody
oh I thought those were for FC's
thanks! i regret slapping on evenstar armor thinking it was good RDM glamor
oh my b, you right
i mean they only cost a few hundred gil

i thought we had a channel for lfg's
No
Best way to level Eureka without help of people because dead time rn?
what's that option for?
That's giving them permission to spend company credits
I am currently level 6
oh ok
do the eureka challenge log
if you've already done that, try spawning some low level nm's yourself if you can
otherwise you might just want to try again at another time
what are some average wait times for DPS roles for dungeons? What about for Healers?
15m
i'd say 15-20 mins is the average
can go upwards of 30m sometimes though, but usually never more than that
Is there anyway to find groups to do the fates for the relic quest? I'm up to collecting 20 each of the fragments but are struggling to solo the fates as a whm in time
and healers?
healers are typically instant queue
If the duty isnt dead, the queue for healers is instant
depends on the time of the day too, after work hours it's usually faster
damn! ok thanks Doom
longest i've ever waiting for a healer queue was like 5 mins
and that was for an alliance raid so it was understandable
time to google/youtube healing roles in ff14 ^^
only time dps gets real good queues is for alliance raids since those need 15 dps
is it party finder i use for potd?
if you want to go til 100 maybe?
try wesk alber for guides btw
not unless you're doing a fixed group
i just wanna do level 1-16
Blu will Nuke fates and you don't need to be the same job
if you just want to matchmake for potd, go with a matched group
matched?
are dyes purchasable on market board?
Yes
is there another quest that i should play before shb ?
when i finished sb it says you should play tower quest
latest healing videos are 1 year old. Are they still relevant?
Yes
that's the only one that's required, the crystal tower alliance raids
Any minor changes are listed in description, major changes mean a new video like he did for. Monk in 5.4
can you give me details
technically all the 8-man raids are canon, but up to you if you want to do those
i want to do it how to unlock it
i believe you unlock it in mor dhona?
๐ there's a lot of quests which one
nvm got it, it is the golem
Which 2 custom deliveries are best for white scrips?
gimme one sec, need to take a screenshot
thank you
when you click on "Enter the Palace of the Dead" and then pick a save slot, it'll show you this box, right
Probably the newest ones in the firmament
If I am lv 20 Warrior and I want to respec to White mage: I switch to lv 1 Conjurer -> lv up to lv 30 -> turn into White mage? is that how this works? or can I skip some steps?
you wanna go with matched party
Both of them?
Yes
Ok ty!
yup
you don't "respec" per se, you just unlock the conjurer class
They're the 2 highest level custom deliveries in the game til endwalker
and can switch between them whenever you want
alright... Since I'm just beginning, would it be wiser to start a new character? but I will lose my 7k gil I guess..
ok, on it.
you can be every job on a single character
All jobs have their own independent levels with 1 exception I'll ignore for simplicity
ARR jobs start at level 1
Hw jobs start at level 30
Sb jobs start at 50
Shb start at 60
Ew jobs start at 70
you get double exp on all classes below your highest, so if you're a lvl 20 marauder, you'll have double exp on conjurer until 20
so don't make a new character
no need to make a new character, unless you wanted to play on a different server
can potd be soloed?
Yes but it's much slower
You need to beat your level 10 class quest to unlock job swapping though
not recommended, but possible
it's challenging and you need to have high aetherpool, the in-potd stats
it's a hell of a challenge
Hi, i dont seem to be able to store the warriors set of lvl50. Into my glamor storage, why?
do you have it equipped
you can only store the 45 set iirc
The level 50 sets can go in the armoire
Nither can i atore the white set that Tataru made for me
Just the 45 set
Yes, obnoxiously enough.
Yes
yeah needs to be 100% to go in dresser
averasge wait time is 26 minutes for potd floor 1, any ideas of a faster way?
What about the scion adventure Jacket? I cant store that and i havent wore it a single time
Not really
You can't store it in the armoire
do you have prisms
What is the error you're being given?
also look at the icons on the tooltip, the 2nd is glamour-dresser-able, the 3rd is armoire storable
Only in the glamour dresser
It should tell you why you can't when you attempt to store it
It says i dont if i want to cast glamor
you need a prism to put it in the dresser
It costs glamour prisms to store items in the dresser
I dont even have it in the lost when i got to store item
And if an item CAN'T be stored in the armoire it won't appear as an option
The list is separated by item slot and armory chest vs inventory vs equipped
Screenshot?
The scion one
Are you trying to store in the chest or the dresser?
Cuz you can't store the scion set in the chest
Armoire is only for a very small selection of items and is basically free storage
Most items go into the glamour dresser which costs prisms and has limited space
Most of the valid items are achievements or seasonal events or mogstation
That's the armoire
i lways tried to store stuff here
You can't store the scion set in it
dont know any other place
The glamour dresser right next to it
only specific equipment can be stored in the armoire
Basically, the glamour dresser should be your first stop 99% of the rings
The armoire is very specific in what it does
while in a dungeon, can I lower the spell effects of other party members somehow?
Yes
I think i got it
I just needed prisms to do ot which were in my chocobo bag
Thank you guys!
Yeah to be honest configuration menus are kind of a mess
What icon do i get after sprout?
None, it just goes away
Can i get any later?
how does targeted healing works? do I have to Click-select a party member? No mouse-over, right?
the flower icon is for people who have just returned to the game after unsubbing for a certain amount of time
you can also get a crown icon by becoming a mentor
Oo okie
yes, click to select. You can make a mouseover macro but combat macros perform terribly
Hello, I got treasure hunting unlocked, but was curious, would everyone in a hunting group require to have the same map in their inventory?
No one else has to have a map for your map to work
Ah i see
Sorry what's a BLU? Haven't leveled any other jobs yet
typically the party leader will ask everyone to bring 1 or 2 maps, and then you rotate through until everyone's maps are done
Blue mage
you can only gather one map every 18 hours, but if you buy them off the MB you can do them back to back all day long
How much of a damage increase is each sun of valor?
I heard 5%
i'm not entirely sure how macros work, for right now i want to set macros that automatically open the crafting log when i switch to a crafter job
how would i go about doing that?
I don't think that's possible
twice every 6 months
like never? it used to a lot for a while but i had weird driver problems then
Because mine has crashed about 20 times in the last 4 hours
because i've been playing for 6 months and i crashed only twice ever
@random girder what driver issues?

is there a way to have two different stages of the relic weapon at the same time?
Like this is the only game that's all fucky for me
I'm playing Cyberpunk rn on ultra settings
yes, do them on two different jobs
are beast tribe quests daily or weekly?
not different jobs, i mean the same job
Also, it seems DX 11 just plain doesn't work rn
daily
awesome, thanks
Im only capable of playing through DX9
then no
buy a replica from the node in gangos
for glam
the node that can also change the stats?
ah okay well thats something ty
ooooh i figured out how to do it
/gearset change 19
/wait 1
/craftinglog
or whatever gearset is for crafters
blue quest in kugane
use the recruitment channels here, or the community finder
Yes if you do the whole relic quest line twice
!faq communityfinder
is anyone familiar with the gold saucer mahjong?
Ty
I tried the recruitment channels here but no responses
@random girderi need to start the resistence quest thing?
Yes
whats locking me out from winning?
whats the name of the resistence quest thing in kagune
you can search "in:recruitment-jp unicorn" and scroll through the posts, it's not a very eng populated server but maybe you'll find a FC or three who are recruiting and DM the user posting for it
hail to the queen
oh thanks i found it
the only one was last year haha
contacted the guy but no response
Is gnb the most popular tank atm?
Do the expensive mounts go on sale for the Make it Rain event at the gold saucer?
why whats the problem
Make it rain is usually more a boost to gp gains
The stuff that's on sale is generally stuff they've just added, iirc
Which duty
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/jfc8wz/make_it_rain_event_prize_list/ none of them were on sale last year
Party makeup?
no
are you queueing as a level 50-59 with only one level 50 alliance raid unlocked
im lv 55
do you have 2 or more crystal tower raids?
that's probably it then
yeah but you won't be put into it as a level 55
You put yourself in Furiten by tossing out a tile that would've gotten you the win, I think.
What setting makes everyone's abilities less visible I can't see alot of these enemy aoe
character config > character > battle effects settings
party > show limited, others > show limited/none
Is there a way to tell if a mark is a A,B or S rank just by looking at it, or do you have to google it every time?
B rank = passive
A = aggressive and usually bigger
S = Can be seen across the entire zone. You also get a message in chat when zoning in if it spawned.
You could ask the hunter-scholar in the area
and yes, S ranks have a much larger render distance
S ranks almost never appear on their own too so if it's there without someone/a crowd around it, it's probably A
๐๐ก
is there a way to do certain keybindings to certain jobs? bc just re done my hotbar for a new job and some of my bars have no keybinds in do i have to re key bind everything?
hey so I bought the starter edition and was wondering for the next two parts Stormblood and Shadowbringers what should I buy??? Should I just buy the complete edition or is there another option??
if you have the starter edition then your only way to upgrade is through shadowbringers
(or endwalker but you get access to 60+ content in november)
I am not good at ui setup can anyone send me a decent samurai ui?
no, keybind settings affect the whole client, changing jobs won't change game settings
ah that sucks
so since i already have the starter edition I should just buy shadowbringer?
im assuming storrmblood will come with it as well
yes
If you switch to 1st person view while riding in the Space Whale, what do you see?
Because its a linear story you can only ever buy the base game +1 dlc that will include all the available expansions.
Not including preorders for upcoming expansions
If someone's gone from free trial to, quote, '30 days of sub' what are they likely to have? Only access to HW still?
All the same content as trial with the social features
figured. mk.
starter edition sounds like a really bad deal
It's just the base game
it is but we pretty much get the base game for free now
Are any new housing servers made by Square at like, any point? I'm currently looking for a plot to buy and holy shit it's nightmarish
They're going to add more in 6.1
next expected housing is in 6.1 with the addition of the ishgardian housing district.
Believe it or not they added more just a few months ago
Idek why they're doing it the way they're doing it tbh
I don't think anyone who doesn't work at Square really does.
What kind of mmo mouse can you guys recommend? Dont bother with the g600 as ive already checked for that.
umm i have the quest to forge a resistence weapon but my bard not lv 80 and my drk is lv 80
i wanted it for bard
can i do the quest again later?
I'm a little confused: I got the free trial on steam and played there, is my character now bound to the steam version of the game or can I buy the game through the official site and play with it?
it's bound to steam yeah
How long does it usually take for store purchases to show up in my mail box?
you can go non-steam trial to steam client, but not the other way round
up to 24h, but usually within 5-20m
ferry in the doman enclave
If I don't get to race change to Bunny waifu for 24hours I'm gonna be an

Hello! I am new to FFXIV- how do I get my hotbars to scroll through them? I press SHIFT as my modifier, but it doesn't seem to register and instead uses the spell that's on my hotbar (Like, pressing shift+1 uses my spell that's set to 1, etc.) I am using an MMO gaming mouse, if that helps
not really, you can place your egi on the boss for it to be able to attack asap, or your fairy in the middle of the arena so it can reach everyone with heals, but that's about it
should be fine if i just hide the bar right?
cuz my egi immediately attacks when i do
suuure but place and sic have some niche uses
ill look into that when i eventually invest time in playing sch and smn more
thanks though :D
you can put those on your normal hotbar too
Yeah I usually do that on controller
it's a keybind in the system tab if that's what you mean?
whats the quest name for bozja
i finish the resistence quest
question about crafting
i am at level 31 for all (carpenter is 41)
aiming for 50 at least before stopping to do something else
i am currently using this guide (tho i am aware i am missing the food as iso the macro isnt optimal, but at least it gets the job done) https://ffxivgillionaire.com/crafter-leveling-guide/
few questions once i hit 50
- should i get the yellow scrip stuff, like the secondary tool etc from rowena sundry splendor
- after hitting level 60 should i get the augmented adept from yellow scrip
or should i just ignore those and focus on this guide to power level everything until level 80? - should i bother the job quest tbh?
oooh I see! thank you so much, really appreciate it!
have you done the quest 'where eagles nest'?
would that be one of the blacked out tiles in the discard?
yellow scrip gear is level 60 iirc, and you'll probably have a lot of scrips from leveling before you reach that, if you're leveling through normal collectables, so might as well buy the gear, it's probably gonna be a big stat boost
you need to do job quests at some point since the level 65 quest gives one of your best skills for durability regeneration.
For the level 60 scrip gear, I don't recommend trying to get full sets since they're all class specific. The accessories, belt, and (if needed) the tools should be the main focuses. Accessories and belt since they're not class-specific, and tools for being the biggest boosts in stats.
!action manipulation
It's basically a better Master's Mend in most scenarios.
so i need to do rowena yellow script stuff and collectible, guess i do that at 50 before while doing my job quest
then stick with HQ crafting gear (for not accessory and tools) in the guide i found til 80
the level 70 scrip set (Handking) is definitely worth considering, since it's all-class and good enough to reach 80.
@tropic flame just realised i have to finish 5.1
ooo aight, that is good suggestion, thanks
go do that then! :D
after you finish this one, https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Vows_of_Virtue,_Deeds_of_Cruelty
go to gyr abania, there should be a blue quest
ty
Kukuru Rusk is based on what real life food?
๐๐ซ๐
if i queued with my sam on frontline roulette and changed it to my bard when i entered in does the exp counts towards my sam?
Is anyone here not busy
yes
Is there a consensus of best way to allocate points to companion chocobo? Meaning focus on one tree or spread out? Currently playing white mage.
whats the best way to level a 50 job other than msq?
generally max out healer tree or just to Choco Cure, and then focus DPS. Tank tree when both healer and dps tree are maxed.
Leveling, Alliance Raid, and Main Scenario roulettes are big daily EXP boosts. after that it's either spamming highest level dungeon that's not 50/60/70 or palace of the dead.
is there anyway to preview unowned hairstyles in game?
only with third party software like CMtool
:(

is there a way to get here without having the crystal? like a boat or something like that?
!daily
It's physically connected directly
You'll go there as part of the msq
no idea where to ask this but wanted to see if there is any place to get all official art of ff xiv? especially akihiko yoshida
Square Enix store sells artbooks
bit of an odd question, but how do i preorder endwalker when my country isnt listed? digital deluxe version
Is this currency separated from the fc rank?
If I spend it will the rank go down?
No, the rank will never go down
Idyllshire is directly connected to both sides of the Dravanian hinterlands by land bridge
you can't get there by any other means
new jobs doesn't have old relic weapons right ?
yes
Spending it will not make the rank go down
dnc gnb doesnt have anima zeta and eureka relics
There won't be resistance sage or reaper relics
Relics only exist for whatever jobs we're around during an expansion
Which stat materia does a SAM want? Crit & hit rate?
guide for stormblood relics please
any decent fc's in Twintania that dont constantly spam 'we're like a family' -_-
Are servers the world's in the data centers or the data centers themselves..? I have a very muddled brain ๐คก
Servers are the world's in data centers
what duty finder stuff should i prioritize each day? or it's fine to just focus exclusively on msq?
Which eden should i do for the relic quest?
Ty
Titan is fastest for the pink memory afaik
focusing just on msq is fine
Do what you want but EVERYTHING is locked behind msq at some point
depends on what you're after if its end-game tomes alliance and msq duties.
levels then leveling and msq is pretty good too
@warm snow which one for the white memory?
msq though requires a time investment
I just did Skirmishes in Zadnor for those tbh
oh ok
please
Use google
not yet done any zadnor ๐ฆ
outdated
are end game tomes time-gated? like 1 clear per day or something? i'm kinda trying to rush through msq but don't wanna regret not doing a daily task later on or something
Not really
are u sure
The final final endgame tomes revelations atm are time gated
450 per week
what do i need to start that grind? i'm at lvl60 in heavensward atm
Be 80
also daily duties award x amount for clearing but you can only do em once a day
Lv80 after shadowbringers
is mnk newbie friendaly
what do you mean by daily duties @ember vault ? can i do those at my level?
if your lvl60 then you dont have to worry about tomes, take ya time and enjoy
you can do daily duties at most levels
they'll at minimum help you level up
and of course at best give you new glamour equipment lol
Easy rotations, difficult to execute due to mechanics and positioning and stuff
But I would would recommend you try it
Plus monk is pretty fast
Mnk is one of the easier dps classes
now that we dont have Greased Lightning to worry about its even better
Mnk also has decent aoe for a close range dps
It is not easy to discern which job is easiet
Because we don't necessarily see eye to eye on what's easy to do
tbf I've been playing mnk since arr so I may be a bit bias/blind
Imo Dragoon is more difficult becuase of long rotations, which can really put you off when you can't finish a combo becuase boss fly away or something
Also many buttons to keep track off is scary
๐ฉ
dragoons jump requires a lot more positioning awareness too
from what i've seen and heard
But Dragoon rotation, while long, doesn't mix into each other
Monk rotation mixes up the moves

Not saying one is easier or harder
Can the kupo bot not save characters any more? I was trying out the kupo bot commands and it keeps popping up with errors
Early level dragoon is imo one of the most boring jobs
is there any good guides on how to use lost actions? or a good combo for dragoons?
@buoyant sorrel how are you typing it out? you can do it here
greatly depends if you want to maximize damage, tankiness, or self-sustain/healing.
!iam <cerberus> <retta> <amoretta>
take out the <>'s
well with lost bubbles and proofs i guess max dps
Lost Assassination is the general go-to option for increasing your damage. a DPS banner like Noble Ends or Honoured Sacrifice is nice to pair, but they require special care to not die from them.
Ah right ty ๐
anyone point me towards a setting up macros for ps4 users
Noble Ends knowing when damage comes out, and Sacrifice idealy being run with the Essence that gives HP upon hitting stuff.
@ember vault I recommend buying and using a USB keyboard to make typing a LOT easier.
it'll help with general chatting, using the marketboard, and making macros
thats the problem. i heard Lost Assassination stops your combo so i dont know how to use it
me typing with a controller is an... interestign experience lol
I can't confirm for myself if it does, but it's really easy to test if so. If it does then just use at the end of your combo.
oh cool
Assassination is good with beast essence for the permanent font of Power
Otherwise it's just a ogcd hit really
As for macros that PS4/PS5 players may want specifically for them, one that I ALWAYS recommend is going to system config > controller settings and changing it so that clicking in the right stick executes macro #98 or macro #99 in the Shared macro section instead of switching to first person camera. With that option selected you would put in a sprint macro that activates sprint to save an action space for ALL classes
!faq sprint
oh neat
Another generally decent macro is to have abilities that require being placed either automatically place on your target or on yourself.
since doing so normally can involve moving your camera which takes the focus away from the fight
/ac "Asylum"
/micon "Asylum"```
```/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>
/ac "Sacred Soil" <me>
/micon "Sacred Soil"```
Is the pantomime emote obtainable?
The first one tries to place it directly on your target. If it can't do that then it reverts to manual targeting.
The second one does the same thing, but if it can't target anyone then it places it directly on you.
Nope
Shirk macro is king

shirk macro basically looks like this
/ac "Shirk" <2>
/micon "Shirk"```
note in the shirk macro and the above macro, you'd fill the rest of the macro space with repeated lines of the macro for success consistency
I don't do so in these examples to avoid chat spam
I call Shirk "kill annoying player"
Not so much anymore with how much aggro tanks generate, unfortunately.
yeah true
how does beast essence make font of Power permanent?
How did he make the weapon effect show in that pose? https://i.imgur.com/TbxYDVe.png
or is this a default combat pose for that race?
that's just the default monk /cpose for the weapon drawn I think
my monk put the fists up though
hence the /cpose

Hello, what is the difference between Steam version and stand alone version of the game?
None, other that you are locked to whatever platform you choose for any future expansions you buy
once steam, always steam and vice versa
Oh and the steam version allows sub payment via steam wallet if that matters to you
yeah I am asking for the steam wallet
I got ShB on stand alone tho
So, my character won't carry over?
if you already bought non-steam licences then you'd have to create a new account, yeah
oh that's sad
Can i ask.. this is a very strange issue.. i can log in my MOGSTATION but the game portal don't accept the same ID information... i also got the token app on my phone.
I want to dye my chocobo, do I need to wait for the change in colour to give it more colouring food?
i changed the Password just in case but same issue persists
no, usually you feed it all the food in one go, then wait 6 hours
you're following the chocobo color calculator right?
I attuned to Doman Enclave but I can't find it in this list... In which category is it? ๐ฎ
I need to get back to Gangos but I can't find my way there, and reddit says to go to Doman Enclave and then to Gangos
Ohh, thank you very much :3 โค๏ธ
does quick crafting give you less exp?

quick question
is the sargatanas prefered world buff already in or it isnt applied yet?
i havent noitce much
If you buy a story skip, how does it pick which GC you join?
Road to 70 only applies to characters created on that world after it becomes preferred
it doesn't apply to already made characters
souka i see
puts you in your starting city gc
anyone ?
Thanks! Thatโs what I was going to guess
What resistance rank is needed in bozja for relic
Is there any leveling guide to BLU
Go to highest stormblood zone, get a buddy to kill the mobs you aggro, rinse repeat
Till what level does this leveling works?
recommended zone is kholusia beach or amh araeng
aggro the lvl 70 mobs, have friend murder them
I suggest melee mobs
works til 70, since that's blu's lvl cap
stop by eastern la noscea for flying sardine as your instant cast to aggro mobs
How long would it take?
The flying sardine mobs are I think lvl 30 ish
they just follow you around and murder stuff
yes apkallus are in the 30 range
but you just need flying sardine from them anyways
is there anybody in this game who actually mains Blue Mage and is okay to always be 1 expansion behind everyone?
there's several people on the Blue acadamy discord that only raid on blue mage
they usually do story tho so the moment blu becomes available in that content they can raid
you can't main blu anyways
you can't main bluemage, it's side content in the shape of a combat job, you can't queue in duty finder with it etc
since it doesn't do msq content
make a pf and check your recruitment channels here based on your data center
Oh ๐ฎ
nobody comes
hey im looking for the "orison thighboots". i did the corresponding quest some time ago but deleted the gear. shouldnt it be listed at the calamity vendor?
no, it's available from the forgotten knight for centurio seals
gonna check brb
it was originally tome gear, it just got added to job quests way later, but it's not exclusive to the quest so it's not at the salvager
he got it
sry since im a beginner, but im around level 30+, when can you start learning other classes?
as soon as you finish the lvl 10 job quest on your first job
after the lvl 10 class quest you can swap yeah
after that it's just a matter of having access to the location the other job starts at and having the required minimum lvl
just wondering , how low does you guys' fps get when entering limsa with hella players
Guys, at what point do I start caring about buying gear instead of just using what I get from msq/job quests/duties
realistically, lvl 80
oh you trade tomestones for that right?
while poetic gear is nice, you do not need to focus on getting it
Think I have some of those
as the gear given from msq is more than enough to get thru it
use whatever poetics you get to buy the weapon/chest/pants at least
but dont need to get a full set
yeah its nice to have but saving your gil for lvl 80 stuff is best
I don't even really know what to spend my gil on besides food/potions, i'm capped at 300k since im playing on trial atm
fair
who even uses pots
you could level some crafters on the side to spend that gil
they come in handy from time to time xd
Only dps pots
mostly for raiding, since its free DPS
aight thanks guys โค๏ธ
Theres a big reddit post on stuff to spend on
I unfortunately dont have it on hand
when you change jobs, do the hotbars change ?
only the first 3 by default
You can set which hotbars are shared between jobs and which are not
in the hotbar settings
oh yeah, thanks
I got a question about the Orchestration. I have songs in it, but when I go to "select track" none of the songs in my playlist appear. So I cant change the BGM for my home
uuh, what
You have to complete those. Go to The Waking Sands again to pick up the quests if you havent. They all lead into eachother.
!quest a recurring problem
Minfilia has need of your talents for a reemerging primal problem.
Minfilia
The Waking Sands (X: 6.91 Y: 6.14)
Urianger
The Waking Sands (X: 6.06 Y: 4.99)
The Ultimate Weapon
Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It
But can anyone explain to me how to use the songs in my orechestrion playlist?
Or, is it because my friend added them into my orchestrion? And I cant select them because I didnt actually obtain the scrolls. Even though Its my house and my Orchestrion lol
You can add up to 8 songs to the playlist and then well... play them
Yeah, you gotta have the songs added to your personal list if it is your house
Gotcha. Alright then thanks
Does alliance roulette give a good bonus xp?
It's decent, yeah
for the amount of time you're in an alliance raid I think the xp it gives is decent
at least if you get one of the arr ones
cause those are short af
It's one of the highest xp giving roulettes
Next to levelling and msq in terms of xp given
what's up with monk and endwalker ?
All jobs get new stuff and/or reworks with new expansions
we'll know when it happens
riddle of earth got a buff right ?
Changed
Now 3 charges of a buff to ignore positionals that doesn't require you to be hit to activate
It could change again in 6.0 but greased lightning is probably gone for good
Well as a Mechanic you think about
can someone share the eureka map mobs element etc
Which
first one
why ?
!faq anemosmap
ay thanks man
Because again, new expansions mean jobs get new stuff or reworks
I see
Any job is subject to minor or significant change when a new expansion hits
Though I think it's unlikely that mnk will change significantly in 6.0, feels more like the 5.3 rework was the foundation for any new stuff
Pure speculation on my part though
so wesk's guides will be obsolete then ?
For the most pary
Depends how significant jobs change
so is it still ok to watch them and use as reference alongside the balance ?
Depends
ok thanks
the balance will be just as obsolete as his guides once a new expansion is out
everything changes to some degree
they'll change it pretty fast
People will already start theorycrafting new stuff when we get tooltip information from the media tour
most things will already have a lvl 90 rotation by the time EW comes out
The media tour will let content creators have a hands on with a earlier, but mostly complete, part of the game and people screenshot and share various tooltips and hands on info
Which let's the nerds theorycraft
Media tour is usually 99% unchanged by release, and they use info from the two launch extreme trials to fix up things
Unless something is really unfun (see: ninja and summoner) they usually leave it untouched
What was unfun with smn?
wait only 2?
Pets are ass
didnt hades EX come out with 5.0?
Well, we don't know the plan with EW but it's usually been two
No
No
????
Nah Hades was 5.1
It was inno and titania
really, huh
The 6.0 final boss extreme probably won't be out immediately either
Was shinryu ex 4.1 as well?
ye all final .0 bosses have their extremes in .1
It goes
The 2 levelling story trial extremes
Final boss extreme
Side trial boss extreme
X.3 extremes
Side trial extreme
Side trial extreme
For each major patch
This expansion was the exception as y'know, covid. We did get g warrior though fwiw
even this expansion followed the cycle
Afaik we get everything except the final boss in x.0, final boss in x.1 and the extreme with the corresponding patch from there
innocence+titania > hades > ruby > SoS > emerald > diamond
For the melding of materia in Novus stage, if I dont finish the "tier" for that particular stat, I cant meld the higher grade variants.
Am I reading it right?
Ye
yes you have to go in grade order
Yet another reason zodiac relics suuuuuuuuuck
need to meld tier ones until it lets you meld tiers twos
you could
Okay another question with the orchestrion scrolls. I had a lot, and i used them and added them to my list. But.. Idont see them in my Orchestrion in my house.
Does bard apply dots to all targets as part of it's usual rotation for trash etc?
If they're a primarily multi-dot on multiple targets class, I think i'll give it a miss, thanks. ๐
what does pb mean ?
Perfect balance
dont forget the procs on top!
how can I change the keybinds for the hotbars
Game still runs with maintenance right? So plots have a better chance at being bought after maintenance?
@umbral nest Esc, Keybinds
Hotbar
where is that exactly
yep
System menu button
Ok, I think I get it now
In this example, I can use 45 Grade Ones and then fill the rest with 30 Grade 2s, and the 1st 6 for each tier and each stats are 100%
Total 75, am I right?
Since picking up GNB all of my hotbars have reset themselves. Has anyone else been having this issue?
hotbars change between jobs if they're not ticked as "shared" in character config > hotbar settings > sharing
should i play ninja or astro for my static idfk anymore ๐ญ i like both
Shared hotbars are off, yet they still mess up
All jobs have their own hotbars
Unless shared hotbars are on
what is your static going to find easier, a good DPS or good healer?
we arenโt sure if we are gonna make our own static anymore or rather just join one looking
but my friends that are in charge of it said i have to pick soon so that they know what roles to look for
I'd say AST if you trust the other DPS in your group, NIN if you think they might need the extra DPS
Playing mainly one role for raid nights won't prevent you from ever playing the other
Does everyone get the same Wondrous Tails objectives?
yeah thatโs what they said they said to just play one for raids and then play whatever else wherever
Sometimes you just fuck around. I do all roles when we grind extreme mounts
They do not
i started the game as astro cuz i thought it was cool and healer dungeon trial queues throughout msq was a lot faster
@oak ice ok thanks!
but atleast for like hades or the other things iโve done, the dps sucked so bad we werenโt clearing through the other mechanics
then definitely NIN i'd say
yeah thatโs what i was thinking, i wanted to go try sam since it seems cool but our static already plans on having a sam
so might as well use a support dps with trick attack kinda thing
Hey friends, I just started playing ffxiv like two days ago and Iโm wondering how does the multiplayer stuff kick in. Does the game pair u ppl or do u have to have like friends already how to play the game. Iโve only done a couple side quests and main story quests and Iโm definitely enjoying it ๐
lvl 15 MSQ is the first dungeon
*who
!faq newplayertips
@zinc lake take a look at this as it might answer some questions you have
Ok sounds good
the only time you would have to have friends/ other people to play with would probably be high end content because it requires a lot of coordination. Other than that it'll just pair you up with people
FFXIV uses the duty finder for most of its content, mostly to have vets help new players through old content
Thanks for answering โฃ๏ธ
has whm had any buff since ShB starts?
time for another obscure question. if someone has a chocobo stabled, but the house disappeared due to demolition timers, how do they get their birds back?
do they not get returned automatically
apparently not
what other jobs have stayed the same since ShB starts?
or have not stayed the same if that list is shorter
If im a level 70 miner and i swotch my retainer to a miner from a level 70 job would they be 70 miner as well
Hey, can I still rebuy Lvl 60 Job Gear?
I don't think samurai or any of the tanks have really been touched (except warrior)
huh apparently they just need to speak to housing enthusiast for that
centurio seals at the forgotten knight in ishgard
Only for Centurio Seals?
Yes
they are super ez to get so dw
no, it'll have to level up from 1
war got small adjustments, all it did was make it easier lol
but yeah tanks are largely the same
Yeah just edited it
eye extends buff by 30s up to 60 now instead of whatever it was before
Don't think blm reached any adjustments either
from dps i think only monk had noticeable changes
So it only resets deciple jobs not dow or dom?
Ninja got a minor rework with mudras
changing retainer jobs/classes always resets them, they don't keep previous levels like player characters
Odd
major, nin is way different now
I sw9tched one of them bef9re and they did not reset
Going from a class to job retains level, going from a class/job to a completely new one resets their level
used to be constsnt dps, now its very much a burst job with super chill downtime
15s trick window with a lot of shit in it and then 45s of 123 124
very fun job though
intense calculating
Ahh so if they are miner they can be same level if changed to botanist but resets if changed to a fighting class?
where can i see my gold saucer challenges?
if I enter daily roulette before the reset time but finish it after the reset time, do I still get another bonus afterwards or it will consume the next day's?
Does anyone know how I can view the novice network in game again? I toggled it off in settings for the chat, but forgot where to go
logs > challenge log > gold saucer
you'll get next day's bonus

no, vinyl meant like "promoting" your combat retainer from gladiator to paladin, that works basically the same as players, level 30 gladiator into a level 30 paladin
any other job change will reset their level
Ohhhhhhhh&hhhh

for people that use KB, what are your hotkey layouts? I'm completely overwhelmed. I've never played many mmos. But in wow I maybe had 10 spells max I used. I'm sitting at 30 right now. Running out of keys lol
https://i.imgur.com/hDkdOmL.png this is my current setup (I have six button side mouse, thats what the numpad keys are)
I recommend using modifier keys
use 1234qerfvcxz` plus modifiers
you can still add alt and ctrl modifiers
do materia make a huge difference?
So you can go 1, shift + 1, ctrl + 1 and so on
In savage yes
Endgame yes, prior to that no
in leveling no, at 80 its noticeable
Full set of melds is like another piece of equipment or so
around 1000 secondaries iirc?
Yeah I'm using shift modifier. I'll try to incorporate alt/ctrl. But i already fumble on swapping between shift/not haha
I have a i520 ring cryptlurker on my gnb but i can't put 2 times the same ring, do I have other possibilities besides crystarium one and i505 (paglthan one) ?
Savage raid ring from e9s
exarchic if you want a quick fix
And the 520 augmented exarchic rjng
Augment the cryptlurker
or that ^
And Wear a second
well e9s is too hard content for me actually
just takes time and practice, you'll get it in time!
The Cryptlurker ring is honestly trash
augmented and non augmented rings technically count as different items
oh didnt know, nice bypass
So at least use the augmented exarchic ring
Augment the cryptlurker for a second cryptlurker ring...augmented exarchic rings are the choices
Iirc you can equip two of it as well
yeah
!item Cryptlurker ring of fending
None

exarchic isn't unique so 2 rings are possible
The tome ring for tanks is also baaaad
what does the gauge and number are mean
Aggro
aggro
even gauge ?
Yes
So much mining
It's how much aggro you have in comparison to the tank
So little exp
You get more exp for mining shit closer to your actual level
knows im doing some wrong
Do your leves
Buy an exp manual from your gc
Cant buy exp f9r m8ning
Yes you can
Where do you trade i510 Exarchic gear for i520 Augmented Exarchic gear?
Survival manuals
Wut
It's just green instead of yellow
what does otw stand for
On the way
Forgot to check the pins my bad
aims at pins
ty
ah too bad xD can't be greedy and last minute haha
euerka fates spawn random ?
No
No
You need to kill specific mobs to spawn them
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
Damn scripts
nm spawner ?
Tracker sites list them
Knew there was a catch
o thanks
Might as well give it a try
And people will usually have trackers for the instance if it'd active
How easy is it for these survival manuals
as a new player, if i purchase a tales of adventure, for example for astrologian, does it skip all the MSQ quests?
no
oh thank god, i was scared cause it said it would skip quests
what's the ceremony of eternal bonding ?
Weddings
wait people marry in game ?
Yes they do.
does SE support usually take long to reply, i sent a ticket last friday, or was it thursday, it was one of the days
So I heard alot of talk about bozja content and people doing mettle and things, what is said bozja content and is it mandatory to do or would it feel very bad to not do said content?
no confirmation email is also unsettling
it is very good for story and gets you a bis weapon when you finish the relic
story is required for relic, but relic is not required for story
Do you have to unlock the next Namazu story quests with Beast tribe rep or something?
Shadowbringer's Relic grind areas. Honestly, I don't do it cause I dislike the story but honestly you'l ge tyour own opinion of it when you reach it.
Basically if you know what Eureka is, its basically that but... umm...
less grindy? 
more painful.
hard disagree but yeah try it out if you want lol
Oh dear
its an endgame location thats not savage raiding to grind your heart out in
Well I already finished my MSQ and outside of leveling my machinist im just furnishign my house
its matsuno stuff so if you like ff12, tactics, or the xiv ivalice content then youll probably at least like the story
ye
Do as you wish. Do not let us influence your opinion on the content.
Does anyone know why I cannot continue my Namazu main quests?
I dont do savage raiding but bis sounds cool
BiS mostly affects the current tier
what rank are you?
So the survival guides are they nonstop timewise aka 18 hours weather youre logged in or not?
My rep in the tribe is like 200
But I can't do anymore tribe quests for some reason
i believe so
I currently only own the base game, not through Steam. If I'm looking to get fully up to date, do I have to purchase both Shadowbringers & Endwalker separately or is there a package of some kind for a discount/better option somewhere?
you can only do 3 per day
oh, thats annoying
yeah took me about 1 month and a half to max out
until endwalker comes out you'll have to buy them separately
Ah, I didn't even realize Endwalker isn't out yet. Different question then. Is Shadowbringers the only thing I need to be fully caught up for the moment?
yep!
Awesome, thanks!
we got about 6 months until EW so plenty of time
I assure you, if EW is out, I'd be playing Reaper by now and either bitching about how crap it is or how its an edgelord's wet dream.
Noted ๐คฃ
How am I supposed to do this? these mobs can see through stealth and deal 60% of my hp in 1 strike! 
rp walk through the area
really?!
^ that too
Just got my first crafter to 70 and I did the quest for it, where do i go next to get my next one quest (if there is such thing in shadowbringers?)
They don't spawn in the day
omfg you are right!
