for aoe the order is reversed
(also ver raise for long cast and Verccure for Short cast for non damaging version)
very longcast for VerRaise
so jolt into veraero to verthunder
replace them with procc?
so if verfire is up when i press verthunder
do i go
jolt -> veraero -> verfire?
yes
Yes your procs replace jolt
You want to avoid jolt if you can by using the procs or Swiftcast to try and get a proc
lemme test in dummy
ooo it works my melee rotation is fast now
i can reach 80/80 fast
thank you
also remember acceleration for even faster mana generation
nets you 3 guaranteed fire/stone procs
I get a quest to mine a hq rock but i cant get it because the chance of it is 0
is my gear to low?
lmao, squadron survival manual is far weaker than that other one, my life was a lie
any venders that have level 60+ gear?
Kugane should have all 60-70 vendor gear
weaker than what? It's the equivalent of a rank 3 Free Company action.
ah wait they also stack?
squadron survival manual gives 30% exp bonus for 2h while grand company one 150% for 1/6m exp
They'll overwrite the Fc action of the same buff if the Fc is running it
But it stacks with other Xp buffs
oh so i can use it while fc does not have it up?
Squadron manuals are basically solo Fc buffs
cool
it'll also work if you somehow have to do stuff from other servers
since when using world transfer you won't receive fc buffs
Is it normal to go almost oom even with Lucid for the 30-38 arr dungeons?
Dps + healing
If you're overhealing
Just regarding my previous question about world transfers, I've just completed the process and it was indeed INSTANT. Hello Tonberry.
probably healing too much or the tank pulls too much with little mitigation
Thanks for the answers.
good to hear
i have another question
now i have all these materials...
im guessing they go with another class?
miner with goldsmith or something?
it's pretty spread around
Alot of crafters
all these minerals taking up space...
beat floor 30 boss.
๐ฉ
what do i do with these minerals?
Sell them on market if you don't have crafters
I slap a regen and only cure 2 when they are 1/2ish
Rest of the time spamming stone or holy
And aero when pulling
are plugins ok to use ?
Alot of crafters
or gold smith
BSM/ARM/GSM are the main users of ores
Again. It's spread between them all
Even culinary use some miner stuff
Mainly the salts
I accidentally stumbled (no, seriously, I accidentally saw while mashing some buttons by accident) across a plugin installer from the quicklauncher
Quicklauncher is fine
We even have a faq for it
Just don't talk about shit in game
ok so I better not talk about the plugins then in the in game chat right ?
Plugins are against ToS. Square has no ability to detect them. I think you can figure out the situation from there.
it's technically against the tos and mentioning it in game will get you in trouble

but they can't actually scan your computer to see if you do use them so...
ah shit
hello does anyone have that content plan picture?
because I saw this one which claims to help me with combos
which picture
the one with the dates and stuff
last thing is the next expantion
do i need a party to finish this raid
no one que on duty finder
thank you
Try setting a pf unsync but u can do it with 2 people
Soul of the Creator is part of Normal Raid roulette, so it is possible to just queue in
like this ?
take the last one off
Take level sync off
ok thanks
Kind of a shame to unsync A12, it's the climax of the whole raid :/
it's probably worth it to try queuing in during peak hours
Usually normal raid queues aren't too long at all if you can grab a tank and healer from your FC or Novice Network or something
if you're invested in the story
3-5pm st
How do we know at what time the daily roulette resets?
!daily
That's when
Hot, ty
it reset 3pm server time
if there's no bot handy, it's midnight japan time
Kupo!
Anyone know how many jobs should be trained for the main scenario exp not to be wasted on road to 70 buffed char?
Probably three
what is antelope stag horn for?
two-three depending on how much extra stuff you do like excess dungeons or challenge log.
!mount Antelope Stag
Swift and sure-footed, antelopes have been favored as mounts by the tribes of Abalathia's Spine since ancient times. In recent years, ancient magicks have also made it possible for the creatures to fly so long as the rider has sufficient reserves of aether.

!faq altlvlguide
thanks
whats the drop rate for the mount in S1T7 ex ?
The same as the drop rate for the mount in the other ex trials
The actual answer is nobody knows
is HoT better for dps ? leveling alts
rather than waiting in que
?
no one knows the drop rate
feels like 0
That's just rng
you can have 8 drop 1 after another or do 100 runs without 1......
So people keep doing it
It'd be extra fucking boring as hell if it just dropped guaranteed
you are gonna do it unsync anyway
You would cuz those people would know they woudnt need to stay for eternity to farm it with you
"oh lets help that one guy only 1 run lets do it "
Everyone would have it already
" oh 3 people need iot sure 3 runs"
Like if u want to o it again just sync and have fun'
No.one would care
Quick question. Is the Challenge log worth doing every day??
its not dead content
Challenge log resets every week, and it's pretty worthwhile, yeah
It's a decent source of weekly gil/MGP/experience
the XP granting entries anyway
most challenges give 1k gil, and completing multiples of 5 give more gil
It's very dead content which is why the only people running them are the ones wanting mounts or to craft the primal weapons to sell
Thanks for the advice all. I appreciate it.
but the people who craft them are the latest ones, not level 60 content
what resistence rank can i start upgradeing my resistence weapon?
Bozja lockboxes drop the crafted EX weapons
notices mining quests become further from town at 60+
Good thing Miner has that hiding ability then
Rank 10 to fully finish
The higher PoTD & HoH bags also drop crafted weapons iirc
you can upgrade your RW to i500 after you unlock bozja
rank 10 and clear CCL and DR to begin upgrading to i515?
and for the final part you need to be rank 15 and unlock zadnor
(i think)

you don't need 15 to unlock zadnor
Just rank 10
wait someone told me i need 15 so i grind my ass before 5.55 hits
you don't need 15? D:
havent profitted from ming at all yetx.x
oh well
is there no way to make NPC has priority to show up in a crowded area? My PC cannot handle population display that is higher than Minimum
how to queue into a dungeon/raid? and what level can you do that
5.55 has already hit
Msq lvl 15 is your first dungeon
15 for the first dungeon, 50 for the first Alliance Raid, 60 for the first Normal Raid, do your MSQ if you've gotten none of these
MSQ?
Main Scenario Quest
To do any content
It's in the top left corner of your screen
And under it will appear job quests or the chocobo quest or any other
the game deems mandatory
How do you level the other classes

Thx
Can you still use the shadowbringers benchmark? I wanna check if my laptop can run the game
check if ny laptop... what?
Freaking phone xd
Nice thanks
ny laptop 
Hey were do i start the quest "A Recurring Problem" Minfillia dosnt has it and i dont know were to look
What stats do I want to focus on for dnc? Let me be more specific, I'm in idyllshire buying accessories for lvl 60 and I bought a couple augmented shire custodian stuff, when I go to auto equip it says my green gear is better, so I'm wondering if I just wasted my Tomestones
are you checking at the waking sands or rising stones
If it doesn't have dexterity then it's literally useless to you
Jobs only use 1 main stat each
Yes in the walking sand is nothing same as risisng stones
Sadpepe
Usual "check the completed tab in your journal+
then you most likely already did it, thancred have anything for you
Okay ty tho ๐
But i dont have the if ifrit bleeds quest nor do i have the hard dungon
Im 100% sure there is something wrong with S1T7 ex
i get better rng at hades than this
I would say there's a point, but just not get to 80 before you finish it all.
its under chronicles of a new era - primals
Does the exp bonus from Menphina Earring apply onlyto mobs kill or includes Duty EXP bonus and Quest EXP rewards as well?
Finally it dropped at 19th try, and i rolled "1"
only mob kills
I can feel hate from this game
How about i say again there is nothing
then can you screenshot talking to minfilia in the waking sands
i got this, gues ill get the game for pc now
She is not in the walking sands
yes she is
What's the question again?
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
If you haven't completed certain quests, npcs will not be removed from the location until you've completed all available quests from them
she is always going to be in the waking sands for "a recurring problem"
Unless she is a ghost she in not here
Go to the coordinates kupo bot posted
can you please screenshot your completed quest journal
And accepted quests
Eleos you are not being helpful, kindly cease
Worth it.
Anyway, what's the issue? Can't find the Hardmode primals?
What's the quickest way of levelling up other classes
!faq altlvlguide
i dunno if the dude is still around (probably not) but i wonder if you can't just use the main scenario helper hud to check his next msq quest
the issue was not msq, the issue was doing the hard modes for the original three primals
Which are not tracked via the msq tracker
i see
Just so i'm on the same page, did he mention how far into the MSQ she is, assuming it matters?
he completed the ultimate weapon, which is all that matters
ahh.
Hello. As a NIN, what stat do I put for the last step ?
i'm not the expert but if i have to guess it's probably Crit/Det or Crit/DH?
crit > dh > det
DH it is
ok so all in crit, then dh, then det, ok
as "usual" then
was scared to put to much in a stat
the only thing you can put too much is accuracy...oh wait
not the place to vent
Does anyone know how many books does the Thryus Atma requires to upgrade it to Animus?
so say i mess up and screwed dual cast
i.e. using the dualcast on shortcast by accident
i jolt to fix the rhytm right?
what about if i procc too much x mana, i jolt to go back to dualcasting the ver- i lack right?
there's 9 books total
Even if you hit the wrong spell and waste your dualcast, you should still use a proc (fire/stone) for your next spell if one is available
if it is unavalaible?
If neither is available, Jolt like normal
is cluster farms in bozja better to farm memory then fates outside bozja?
aight
Thank you. My FC thought that there was 11 or 12.
okay so i though about switching over to chaos/light but i feel like I'll have some serious time zone issues
and queueing will be a massive pain since ive GMT+6
so do i just move to Tonberry and look for an FC that does raids and mount farm
I wanna farm the gweibers but no one seems to join my PF.
GMT+6 would line you better with Elemental, yeah
it's very variable depending on how coordinated the cluster farm is, and how active the Fates areas are (as well as if you have BLU leveled up)
so Tonberry?
what quick cast can RDM do other than veraise?
is quickcasting verthunder or aero works if tricast not online yet?
tonberry would have the biggest english community, but since PF is cross-world you can go to other Elemental worlds if you prefer so
need an eng community so
whats the drop rates of memory in bozja?
chaos/light will be a bad choice right?
Verthunder, Veraero, and Scatter are the only things you should be using up Dualcast on (unless someone needs a raise, which will be quite rare)
Where is the quest for completing all hw mounts ?
Idyllshire
probably worse choice overall, with your timezone and likely higher ping
Right net to the aetheryte in Idyllshire
i c
and from 60 to 70 HOH ?
ah wait nvm, you can do potd from lvl 15-60
thought you meant potd levels
but yeah, HoH would be 60-70
it starts at 61 iirc
ye 61
dont know why 61 tho
one level is okay
probably just expansion things
i have no idea about deep dungeon im just killing mobs and proocess to next floor
that's pretty much it
thats perfectly fine
max level on potd is 60 ?
as an exp farm, you want to clear the 10 floors as fast as possible
wut ๐ฎ
also to confirm, where can i weave corps a corps and fleche without screwing the dual cast
after any instant cast
They're Floors, not Levels. Gonna make that clear.
what if i reached floor 100 and still in lv below 60
doesnt matter, the floors do not correspond with levels
for leveling your characters you just spam floor 51-60 repeatedly
I don't think you'll be able to, given all the things you'll need to kill to GET there.
anything beyond that you do for the sake of doing it
i can select floors ?
once you beat floor 50 you can specifically select 51-60, yes
Just for the record. Sometimes delaying corpse-a-corpse for a few seconds is a good thing so you can better initiate your melee combo
Ofc you should be in melee range anyway but sometimes mechanics happen
i see
but generally use it on cd for the dmg

which mining boosts?
anyone
Certain skills only last 1 hit, which ones r u using exactly?
I mean the survival manuals
survival manuals have a cap to them
It has a XP cap
once you hit the xp cap, they're used up
Read the bottom half of their description
!item Commercial Survival Manual
i never hit the cap thats the thing
*This comprehensive manual, written by a disgruntled former employee of Rowena's House of Splendors, provides a detailed explanation of inhuman techniques forced upon consortium-hired Disciples of the Land to increase their output. It is known to inspire (and frighten) all who read it, granting a temporary 150% boost to experience points earned from gathering activities (up to a maximum of 6,000,000 points). Effect is halved at level 70 and above.
Duration: 18 hours*
Along side the after X level the exp is halved
It boosts your xp for a total of 6mil
is there anyway to increase player limit render on screen ?
my total exp was less than the amount shown on the manual
i only gained 5k then it went poof for some reason
It's your total xp FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION
Again, it's NOT when 1 swing gives you X amount in 1 swing
thats not what im saying
I know it goes away after x amount of xp is met
what i saying is it went away after only gaining 5k exp
which manual are you using and what level are you
and you're gathering in the shadowbringers zones, yes?
cos if you're in level appropriate zones/gathering level appropriate items the manuals tend to be used up fairly quickly
Did u just pop it and went to gather and it disappeared?
Are 'role quests' another word for job quests? If I do my final BLM level 80 quest I can carry on with role quests? Or do I need to be a different class?
you need to complete your role quests in order to do the lvl 80 job quest
Role quest effectively take place for the job quests for shadowbringers
And you're required to complete atleast one role quest chain for msq
Which server/world should I join that has lots of people and also good for raiding?
Ah okay, that's fine then. Can I just do the BLM one or do I have to do another? Because I main BLM and literally have nothing else levelled ๐
You need to do your roles quest line to finish the story
I installed and immediately uninstalled a plug-in... Will I get banned ?
And it's one and done
No
You only get smacked if you're found out that you're using third party stuff
Which is hard for them to find out for normal, safe plugins
Just donโt run around yelling about it
It doesn't matter due to cross world parties, just pick a data center based on where u r and u'll be fine
I read an article and it said the server im currently in is a casual server
Those are old and irrelevant
What does that mean ?
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Your server choice LITERALLY DOESN'T MATTER
How does someone decide a whole server is casual xD
Only thing that matters is if its preffered or not
Everything is cross server within the data centre
So only data centre choice matters for a extremely minor point
All the data centres within the same region are basically the same
Only reason you would pick a certain world would mainly be the market
Those r more stereotypes
that was the article
If u really wanna pick a specific world, check their marketboard pricing but ultimately it doesn't matter
Again, it literally doesn't fucking matter
You can world visit other servers in the data centre
You're qued with everyone in the data centre
I mean in terms of retainers and selling
So stick with framfrit?
Gotcha
Unless you have friends or a specific guild you want to join, server choice means fuck all
Anyone willing to queue up seat of sacrifice so I may move on with the MSQ?
What's gonna be the fastest leveling method?
!faq altlvlguide
Where is the daily dwarf beast tribe guy? Can't find him now ๐
Later when the Datacenter Travel is available you can meet other friends on another datacenter but I am curious if this is still restricted to duty only available within same Datacenter?
We don't know
Is it possible that someone cheat next to me ? monsters next to me are dying and the guy seems invisible
Those are bots
But i can't report them ? I don't see him
what stats roll do i need for DRG?
Could check battle Log, it should record it and maybe you can right click their name from there?
Crit > DH > det, avoid sks
Check balance for tier cutoffs to be just over the tier threshold if you have the blade's relic
at what level can you get mounts/flying mounts?
What's the expected time for queue when EW arrives? A friend told me in wow once he had to wait like 1 day of queue when a new expansion came out.
@late venture after you finished the base arr story
When you finish 2.0, all your mounts will automatically get upgraded so they can fly
how do you get mounts
Level 20
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
What does the "floor tanking" for DRG mean ?
it means being dead
jump off the stage then die
Its a joke
but ultimately its a joke
It doesnt mean anything valuable
They're melee, so they may greed mechanics and die, or back flip into danger and die. It's a meme saying dragoons die a lot
ohhh
What are some of the most expensive fish to catch for profit atm? That don't include diadem/ocean fishing
and some jump attacks make u impossible to walk during its animation, so u can get into AOEs more often and then die
job quest fish
There's one that needs 2-weather chain and spawns for one hour. There are lots of rare fish like that
I haven't touch DRG, but those jump abilities can dodge mechanic?
no
Also you could fish that one bitch in hell's lid and desynth for waterproof cloth
Well, I'm just looking to do some casual fishing for profit, nothing too fancy
unrelated, hope yall are having an amazing day and thank you for answering my new player questions ๐
technically, yes but its is an extremely small window to do so
Is HQ Blood still popular?
Blood Boulabaisse? I think it's outdated now
The best crafting food rn is chili crabs
Hmm, what would be considered new raid food/crafter food now then?
Chili crab and Mejillones al Ajillo are the usual two for crafter
Raid food is the 4-star recipes iirc in masterbook 8. Smoked chicken, twilight popoto salad, pizza, uuugh some kind of lemon juice?
I'd make raid food rather than crafter food because crafting food doesn't sell all that well anymore. It usually sells really well when new crafted gear comes out
as a warrior, do i want slaying or fending accessories?
Fending
certain aesthete builds can function with hq blood fwiw
so there might be a niche on mb for you there ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
ty
is there have a subtitle for EW full trailer somewhere? I'm not a native speaker and English listening is my one of my worse skills.
The trailer is in all the major Languages
What language are you looking for?

what's the fastest lv 70 sb dungeon for the last relic step?
37 votes and 18 comments so far on Reddit
thank a lot
Hi boiz, so... Im playing through ARR MSQ RN with level 55 DRK. And somehow i found out the existence of the relic weapons. Seems like Im able to start the first steps to acquire it. So does it worth the time?
Hell's Lid seems to be the consensus afaik
Old relics are purely glamour
For starters, DRK doesn't have a level 50 relic weapon because it wasn't released until Heavensward.
The Burn I guess? It is straight forward wall pull
And what Vinyl said.
Hey , I have a quick question when i'm looking to buy a house in lavandiere, I see there's RED / Green names , what does that mean ?
It's a long grind for a glowy glamour.
Where is the dwarf beast tribe?
Red is closed for visitors
Green is opeb
in lakeland
The first relic sword for DRK looks better then any sword from WoW in my 12 years of experience, so... Im looking forward to farm it.
Ho thank you ๐
It's better to do relics at cap so you can unsync and solo the duties required
Did Qarn and Vale get new equipment drops at some point then Qarn "insert" and the Aurum "insert" are not familiar to me at all.
everything looks better in general. WoW has a different art style (cartoon side)
Relics are a grind to get by design
like big polygon models
Yes, when they trimmed arr and removed aetherical gear
Pretty much agreed.
I did not know they removed that gear. Would say I'm sad I just burn'd my aeth gear for tokens, but I'm not.
there is a mmorpg that have better looking cartoon style too bad it didnt got popular.
No one understood aeth gear. Devs included.

hey guys where can I find the calamity salvager?
Wow, may be cartoony, but what wow players don't get is modern cartoony games look a hundred times better anyways. There's only so much ugly an artistic style can cover up.
there's one in each of the 3 starting cities
limsa and gridania's are both near the mail moogles
and do i need to be at a certain msq level to interact with them
Was a reason given for the death of hunting log?
jobs started at higher levels
so I was looking to get the scion adventurer jacket but i cant find it on the salvager
You need to progress the story enough for it to show up
The salvager gives you items back if you lost them
oh so i get it through msq?
Yes
Alright
adventurer jacket is rewarded just before stormblood MSQ
I know it was, I'm just curious why they didn't fold it into the hunting log to make tracking what marks i've killed way easier, especially because I need to kill one of each for achievments.
Also they now folded certain key items into Collection, do it for the bills please.
im an incredibly new player that hasnt played an mmorpg since i was into runescape in like 2010 but this seemed like a maybe fun way to meet people and make friends so i guess im like. not sure exactly what to expect or what noob mistakes to look out for
That's a better question, honestly. The hunt bill system is UI cancer
Yup. I don't follow the dev talks all that closely so I was just wondering if it was addressed.
What role do you have in mind to play as?
Tank or Healer. leaning towards healer bc i always go for support roles in games like this
First step don't be shy about not knowing anything, most people will be nice to a new leaf and give u some pointers
if a game gives me the option to mostly heal my friends instead of mostly kill enemies i tend to go for it
Even as a healer youโll be doing damage most of the time
The ranged dps are also support in that they have lots of abilities that boost the party
If they r brand new i don't think they should worry about that right away@hearty mango
But the most โsupport-feelingโ class would probably be dancer or ast.
im somewhat interested in like, whatever role is most in demand/least played bc i like, want to be particularly useful?
If you like healing, then go for healer. As Rigged mentioned, even healers are expected to mostly do damage (overhealing is seen as a waste of time and effort, and fights are scaled with healer dps in mind), but if you want to play a healer, then do so.
That will probably be tank in endwalker.
All roles are useful and more or less equally played.
Youโll be useful no matter what role, but tanks and healers are less prevalent
The game is pretty good at balancing all the jobs it offers, so i say just pick whatever you wanna be, also the fact that eventually you can have all classes at ur disposal
You'll be most useful if you're playing a class you're comfortable playing.
Which is it's strongest point imo, you can be everything
yeah I'm certainly not against dealing damage or anything
Youโll be dealing damage no matter what you play
im gonna want to balance "support" with "straightforward to play" so like the thought of juggling lots of complicated buffs for a party sounds a biiiiit intimidating given my zero experience?
If you like healing and want "simple", I'd recommend Conjurer/White Mage.
but im not sure how much i should worry
^
The game is good at starting you slow, you will have time to learn your buttons
And the buffs happen naturallu
my biggest worry is whether or not the game will run at higher than 10 fps on my 2012 laptop tbqh
Don't worry, jump straight in
If you play Warrior you don't really have to learn anything xd
!faq benchmark
White Mage was gonna be my default goto
Oogabooga
i love White Mages in general
Whm is a great class
WHM is a good, solid starter healer.
I should know, for I am one.
Yeah, whm is definitely the easiest healer to play
That isn't too say it performs worse, because it doesn't
You'll get a good feel for the flow of fights without having to stress too much about whether or not you'll be able to keep people alive.
ah i appreciate the link but i have a macbook as my only computer so that cant work for me, it looks like
There should be a Mac version of the benchmark too.
A 2012 MacBook probably won't cut it, honestly
@sterile lark which macbook do you have? i have run it on a macbook pro from 2013 (late 2013), but i had to turn everything down so didnt run that well
But run the bench
This benchmark is not available on Mac OS.
Hmm
Do you have a console?
my macbook pro 2013 didnt handle the game well, even when turning everything down i had low fps
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)

Honestly a 2012 Macbook is probably not going to run the game well, if at all. You're talking something like 3 or 4 processor and OS generations.
eeekk
Ouch
but if i can get at least 20-30 fps that's probably playable for me
Yeah, with those specs you probably won't even get that. You'll be lucky to get 60 fps.
If the game even runs.
60 FPS?
we'll end up seeing in 1.5 hours once it's done downloading, i suppose
a model of that magnitude was in existence when the original FFXIV came out 2 years earlier.
if I haven't played SHB since early in the expac, is it worth coming back now before endwalker? like idk if gear will be irrelevant and such, or if relic weapon is worth it at this point either
yes, you can come back at any time
What's the difference between normal rathalos and augmented rathalos armor? They look the same to me
Augmented is dyeable, usually.
relic is BiS until EW so that's something to work on
You can color the augmented
ye, augmented is dyeable
Shadowbringers gear will essentially be nearly irrelevant in 6.0
oh
Relic will be best until November-ish
The gear, if ur bis, can carry u a few levels usually in a new expac
Is there inherent lag in pressing abilities? I feel like I always have to press Raging Strikes multiple times on my ARC for it to activate. It's not a latency issue.
if the game doesn't require reaction times too quick i may be alright playing Final Fantasy.ppt, im mostly trying this game for like, social reasons
Ty
Idk how they will adjust the numbers tho
There's animation lock on abilities, night be the problem
Could be a keyboard issue. Do you have mechanical or membrane?
Are trusts just as fast or slower than dps queues for leveling from 71 to 80?
So. I have cleared two out of three dungeons to upgrade my Thyrus Atma to Animus. Tam-Tara Deepcroft and Stone Vigil using the Undersized Party function. Those two dungeons are easy. But the Lost City of Amdapor will be easier said then done using said function.
trusts are instant que, but slower than df groups @leaden ginkgo
Regular keyboard, no issues in any other games. It's usually off-gcd abilities, I press them and I can see them light up, but they don't always activate and I have to press them a couple more times. It's not all the time, might be when I press them in conjunction with other abilities, but the "off-gcd" aspect seems to be somewhat delayed.
Trusts are designed to take around 30mins to clear the dungeon, so if your dungeon queues are 15+mins, trusts are generally going to be worth doing
If you're not high level enough to effortlessly unsync it just queue it normally
that said, though if you've got bozja unlocked that's probably going to be a better choice
Is your latency bad?
It's definitely sounding like an animation lock situation
Basically, every ability has a hidden 0.7~ cast time
I am indeed high enough to do it yes. My White Mage is 79 and said dungeon is level 50. What I am having trouble with is of course the first boss in, not Amdapor Keep, but The Lost City of Amdapor.
Closer to .65s
Basically while your character is firing that arrow, you can't fire another arrow because it would look stupid
So your character finished shooting the first arrow, and then starts shooting the second
If you suffer from bad latency animation lock is longer because the client server design is.. stupid, for lack of a better word, by default.
The wamoura one? That's tricky to unsync.
lost city is the gourmond
Ah right
And yes. I have used the Undersized Party function plenty to do the alexander raids with members of my FC.
why can't i put equipment (weapons n stuff) in the armoire?
which you need to either kill before you eaten or kill it with a dot while you're devoured before you're finished being eaten
Armoire only takes lv45 artifact weapons and seasonal stuff
Armoire is only for a small number of specific items, most items go in the glamour dresser
The reason for this is long and nonsensical
And veteran gear
But nonetheless the reality
lmao
sooo i just gotta put all the stuff in the glamour dresser that i like the look off and throw the rest away?
Is there any chance that FF will adopt a more collection-based style of glamour like WoW's in the future? 400 slots for all the different jobs and having to manage physical items seems like a PitA.
Yes, sell or turn in to GC
As a White Mage. I cannot use any of my skills whilst devoured. And it's not good.
I assume trusts give the same xp as doing it with other players as well?
Yes
yep
Just alot slower
Yes, but chests only drop one item. It's guaranteed to be yours tho
ok thank y'all!
if you get your WHM up to 80 and get 510 gear that could let you kill it fast enough to solo it
I got the 485 relic on my WHM but I want to change it to an Astro 485 weapon
How do I do that/get a new one?
Get the thavnairian scale powder and do the "resistance is not futile" quest again with Gerolt.
I got it through a quest in Gangos I believe
What is that scale powder?
Lucky for me. My White Mage is almost level 80 which is one thing
One can only hope, but they seem dedicated to absolute kludges to avoid performing the code surgery required to actually fix the glamour system
It's the scale powder you got in the cutscene with rowena
Mรณr Dhona, Idyllshire sells it for poetics, 4 powder is 1k powder total
But doing said dungeon and clearing it with the Thyrus Atma equipped to complete one section of a book is another.
Consider; spaghetti code. The current code works, and refactoring it would take resources needed for new content.
Oh I see, thank you!
I guess I only need 4 scale powder for a new weapon, right?
Yes
only 1000 poetics not too bad
Small indie company?
More like mmo server architecture company
Okie thanks!
Considering the importance of glamour in the game, being unable to address the situation is embarrassing.
i'd say grabbing better chest and legs COULD be enough to push you over the edge. better gear always increases DPS
Ot though, I'll stop here
If u want farm gear in a dungeon can u farm it unsync
I want glam gear from.dungeons
You can
do i need glamour prism or dispeller in order to "save" glamours in the glamour dresser?
So I wanna do castral abania
The former.
Only a prism and the item you want as a glam
Hi folks! New player and Warcraft refugee here ๐ How's it going? I was wondering if I could pick some brains. Had a starter/free trial account but thought I'd take advantage of the sale so got the complete edition. How the heck do I use the code? Followed the instructions but not getting anywhere. I'm so sorry to jump straight to the point but I'm so confused
And there is gear piece I can do it unsync?
okay thank you!
It "consumes" both but you can always take out stuff from the dresser
@unreal grail download the game make account u can use it on the launcher
1: what platform
2: SE store or steam
3: did you use Steam for the free trial
If I could give a piece of advice, hold on to the code unless you're really annoyed by the trial restrictions, until you finish heavenward
- Windows 10
- SE Store Client
- No used the client from SE thankss
Once you plug that code in, you're officially on a subscription service
Go to Mogstation and redeem the code under Upgrade to Full Service
Make sure it's Starter or Complete
Just Shadowbringers will not work
It's complete. Tried upgrading to Full Service but it's asking for a registration code
The blue numbers are not mine, right? Any way to hide them / not display them?
Send a screenshot
Disable floating text
turn off flying text in the character config
but I want to see mine
Here is the screenshot of my White Mage's current gear.
toggle off pop up text
yep, get to 80, get full Ilvl 510 gear, should be able to solo after that
that's that other people's text
I did not want to send screenshot of the items individually.
Wondering if an ex-GW2 dungeon speedrunner might love this game. Feeling nostalgic for some mmorpgs but ANET pulled a finger on the dungeon community unfortunately
dungeon speedrunning is a thing you can do for fun, but there aren't any really hard dungeons
Nah. Dungeons are pretty ridgid
Honestly if you want a hard dungeon speedrun kind of game, WoW has that with M+
speedkills for raid and trials with blue mage could be a good fit
i dont know anything about ESO raids, but our endgame is pretty good right now
Do you mean veteran dungeons or trials?
Trials, my bad
For what it's worth, this game doesn't have a very flexible gear system. More often than not it's follow the item level with crit
However, the fight design and mechanics are absolutely a blast
That's what I'm in for
yeah, you spend way less time on gearing and way more on raids
If you're only in it for the endgame, I'd say no still though
^
Because you're required to do the story.
what was it, 800 MSQ quests before you could do current raids?
Even if you buy a skip, still need to do the latest expansion story + level if you didn't buy a level skip as well
If there's ways to improve and manipulate tactics to crunchy numbers, that's what i love
How do squadron runs work exactly? Is it viable to use them to level from 20-70 in a few days?
!faq squadrons
fuckin
can i make the action bar in that's at the top be not clickable? i just want the abilities there to show me important cooldowns but don't want to accidentally click it while targeting enemies
pepehands
Less manipulate tactics more "how can I push uptime while not dying to a mechanic"
Is the story excessively moe cultured?
tldr, no. its SUPER slow after 50
to 70 is kind of pushing it
its a final fantasy story, I don't know what you mean
Hmm i see...how long is the story up until the 'endgame'
Specifically, it takes inspiration from tactics and 13
Hmm how badly?
each expac is it's own single player JRPG story, so its a lot of content
wouldn't say its super slow after 50, 50-60 really isn't that bad
100+hours
yipe
but it gets pretty meh after 60
Probably ~40 plus per expansion
like you'd probably be better off doing hoh
I've never really gotten into FF but i know i dont enjoy most anime because of moe-ish humour etc
It doesnt really have any of that
That I can recall, at least
It took me 500
For a point of reference, ESO has its inciting incident at the beginning with Coldharbour. Here your "inciting incident" doesn't really happen until level 20
why do people call lalafell potatoes? :o
Yeah, its like 200 with skipping cutscenes etc.
That's a long story o.o You guys are getting lots of love
because they're small, look kind of round like potatos and the game references them being eaten by monsters and such a lot @leaden ginkgo
someone has told me that there's a way to disable mouse clicks on hotbars yesterday in the settings, but i can't find that
Don't be afraid to pay to skip it if it becomes too much for you, some live & die by the FFXIV story, some wouldn't be playing if they couldn't pay to skip, you can always replay the story in an inn
Oo ty! I play as a potato then (โขฬแดโขฬ)ู
I'm a live and die by the story kinda player
I'd suggest waiting until 3.0 to pay to skip if its boring you though, everyone knows AAR sucks
To see if it picks up
Like the gameโs main focus would probably be story imo. Thereโs a ton of other stuff you can do, you can skip it, etc, but if you donโt want to play the story this will probably be a hard game for you to get into because youโll always have to do story
we recommend you to not skip the story unless youโre really sure you hate it and ffxiv is unplayable to you if you have to do the story quests
i bought a skip, but right now, i am leveling from the beginning, because i was very bad at the game because of the skip
And if you donโt want to do story and skip itโ thatโs great, because youโre finding enjoyment out of the game somewhere other than us, but youโll probably always be annoyed at needing to play the story
so i regret the skip
It's really hard to judge how deep the story dips into moe culture from yt vids
What do you even mean by "moe culture"
moe culture?
I don't regret my skip, almost 5k hours sunk into FFXIV due to it
Oh, 1 second... See if i can fish up a nice definition
this isn't really an anime game
Just say anime culture, theres no big eyed school girls.
This is not what I would call a "moe" game.
If youโre wondering whether it feels โanimeโ, not really
whoever told ya that never actaully played the game that much
umh, how can i reset graphics settings?
That works too haha. Also comes with the overly cutesy humour etc
cause i changed the ui scaling to 4k and the game is now crashing on launch
If anyone calls you a weeb for playing FFXIV, thats usually a dead give away they've never actually played, lmao
thereโs a lot of saving the world, war, loss, grief, death
Like sure, it has catgirls and thr artstyle can be cutesy at time, but I wouldnโt consider the story very โanimeโ
That sounds neat
And we're sorted. Those sneaky t&cs, didn't see I needed the starter edition /facepalm
Thanks for your help ๐
I would definitely not call FF14 moe, and I avoid a lot of media because moe isn't my speed either.
No. This game does not have an overly cutesy nature. While there are cute characters, it's really a JRPG, which tend to be a "hero's journey" type story, starting out fairly lighthearted and getting increasingly dark and heavy as you progress.
you can make characters and dress them up to be very moe but the story itself definitely isnโt
There's plot! There's drama! There's characters with personality other than being adorable and hanging around with you!
Well, I guess there's Khloe, she's pretty moe. But she's a minor character.
I think i know enough. If you lot are a good sample , I'm sure the community is golden. I'm going to give it a thought and I decide soon. If I do join, where can i sign up to follow people around like a lost pup?
i dodnt find her until like 500 hours into the game thats how minor khloe is lmao
you can always ask for help here in #questions-and-help

I tried to install FF XIV yesterday, since I wanted to start playing the game. I just made a free account and am about to start the game, but get an error in japanese (16a). Can anyone help ;-;
in here also works too

when you start playing, just follow the main story quest icons. theyโre the key to unlocking everything else in the game

Thank you so much!
!faq meta
Without seeing the exact error, we can only guess. My thoughts would be an installation error, or a DirectX error. If the former, you can use the ffxivquicklauncher. If the latter, you may need to reinstall DirectX11
Will do! Would love some social interaction though!
pick the class that looks the best, all are good
this is the error that i get
That's just a plain install error.
Guild Wars 2 Necromancer traumatic flashbacks :')
!faq quicklauncher
Try using that to install.
for a new player which class is better that guarantee doing some pve content even without a guild
alright, thank you very much ^^
Literally any class is fine
There's going to be a reaper job in the new expac
any and all, pick what you like to play
Class progression starts out slow enough that even the more complex jobs give you a chance to learn what you're doing as you go.
if you want fast queues into dungeons, pick tank or healer, but every class is fine to start with
Im glad they're getting love now. In the pre-xpac days they had half the numbers of any other class
player guilds (called free companies in game) are mostly there for social aspects
you don't need to be part of one to do content, though it can make it easier
You're talking about necromancer in gw2 right? I was talking about the new job for endwalker.
Working on the 'A New Path of Resistance' quest to collect 15 timework artifacts -- my question is: PotD or Delubrum Reginae, which is more time efficient?
Potd with a group, DR solo
Just one more Duty Roulette and i am golden.
Do u find the item on the dungeon, or just finish the dungeon and u auto get it?
If I have two jobs at 60 at the start of Stormblood do you think thereโs enough exp in msq and daily roulettes to get them to 70 before shadowbringers?
you get it when you exit the dungeon at the end
Ah i see, thanks
The levelling has slowed down I noticed..
was running around the circle confused
should be fine doing that, if you're struggling the pvp frontline roulette gives good XP as well
Cool thanks. Itโs not so bad if I fall a little behind just wondering if the exp grind gets much bigger
it might get a little slower in ShB but otherwise shouldn't be too bad
Gates are every 20 minutes right?
yes
ty
At lvl 80 as gatherer with gear, do you get higher yield per node?
How much is it?
Only if the node has bonus yield on it. Sometimes you need certain gear to unlock the bonus yield, but your stats or level alone don't matter (outside of pick clean)
Do you have HQ Aesthetes?
That's the best gear there is. There's Landsaint, which is better than unmelded Aesthete, but worse than pentamelded Aesthete.
No, im just lvl 56rn as botanist. Just curious
How much can you get from a node or 1 swing
Rn i only getting 1 item per swing, but im doing diadem
Oh. Well, there are +3 nodes where base yield is 4, and you can boost that to 6 or 7 with pick clean (as lv70+ once you get pick clean)
You always get 1 per swing without bonuses
as a dps waiting in queue what are somethings i can do to kill time ?
i personally kinda regret that i didnt sync crafting progression with my own leveling progression trough the story
Fates, relics, unlocking overworld stuff, gathering, crafting, triple triad, alt jobs to 15 with leves, sidequests, adjust glam,
Thanks!
You can't really macro gathering cause you can't macro clicking the item really
i see
But you can macro skill usage before the clicking
I macro collectables though.
can you transfer your SE account to the steam client?
hmm, is there a way to mass grab items from retainer or put them inside multiple at a time, rather than 1 at a time?
Only 1 item type at a time
Can I open different menus at the same time (like inventory and armoury chest) with controller like in kb+mouse?
Right click -> entrust/retrieve all, or drag it
so 1 at a time, thats some ptsd fuel
You can but only once. In mogstation.
how do you do that?
You can only go Se to steam if you're on trial
You just buy the game on steam and enter the registration code
Just finished ShB msq, to start post msq though, I need 430 Ilvl, I have some Gil saved up, should I just buy 510 crafted armor off the MB so I dont have to worry about Ilvl requirements?
yeah, im on free trial
Then just buy the game off steam and use the registration code given
okay tysm <3
yes!!!! at last. level 80!!!
There are some blue sidequest in Crystalium that will give you better armor.
reaching level 80 was one thing. but getting the gear to reach ilvl 510 will be another.
You can do the weekly tower for a piece of 520 gear, Eden's Promise normal gives as many as you want if you're willing to spam it, and you can get 510 from the market board if you want
And that required me reaching level 80 for that part of the criteria is now met.
Its no longer possible to acquire grade 1-3 mats from diadem, only grade4?
wait. weekly tower?
I'll take a look, thanks
you can only gather previous phases' expert mats, normal mats are only grade 4
Fairly sure you can, to get earlier phase achievements.
well can't gather phase 1 materials at all since those weren't diadem to begin with
When doing the third nier raid, Breach Paradigm Tower Something, once a week you can claim a piece of gear
right
copied factory is the first nier raid
thank you for input and clarity 
the tower at paradigm's breach is the 3rd one
what software is used in order to change mouse side button to shift/ctrl?
Duty -> Collection, probably check against an online list
Those are all Shadowbringers Alliance Raids. Am I right?
yes
Ty so much
Is it 2 extra buttons or 12 extra buttons? 12 extra button mouses typically have their own software.
extra 2 button
Then you need outside software to key those to keyboard keys.
And Alliance Raids. Just like the relics I can do them in any order. However. They would have to be unlocked first before I can do them.
yeah what is it
i have no idea what that is
No idea. Google?
Plus. The Stormblood Alliance Raids if memory serves are all associated with Final Fantasy 12.
I've been doing my first play through, after starting earlier this week. I'm lvl 46, and my bags are almost full and I have no idea what to do to start clearing them out logically. Any advice?
I've already kicked Yiazmat's behind once in that game.
where do i paste the code, when i try to login i get this error. is it somewhere on the website?
I'd vendor everything that doesn't have both "Shop Selling Price: None" and "Crafting Reagent" on it. The rest should go to a retainer.
hmm it's intuitive for me, but you can access chocobo saddlebag
so any crafting reagent with a selling price is something to vendor?
I usually just sells everything to marketboard whatever that worth more than 500 gil
anything below than that, sell to npc
Yes, since you can simply buy them if you ever need them.
Unless it's Restricted
In which case they can be a pain in the ass to rebuy
!faq mogstation
Codes go there
thank you
the bot keeps blocking my question
Iโve cleared 5x extremes until ruby + diamond and wondering what I should do next. Is extreme sos more difficult than savage 1st floor?
It's the hardest extreme of the expansion
Extremes as a rule of thumb are easier than any savage. I think E5S was harder.
Disagree, but I just personally hate emerald so much
Damn swords
But mechanically there's no variation so its an easier ex
Patrician's set
If you can dodge Titan bombs, you can dodge emerald swords
only one that's not dyeable is the serpent private's bottom (judge's slops aren't available for players)
Iโm hoping to go easier ones first to increase my skills at high level content, so would you suggest sos first before savage?
Theres no road map of progression tbh
You can move through exs first
But jumping into the first floor of the current tier is fine too
hey guys I just wanted to make sure of something: I was told that if I buy the complete edition of the game right now I can hold onto the redeem code until endwalker comes out and then redeem it at that point and not have to but endwalker additionally as well as still be able to play the free trial with my boys until I redeem the code?
yay or nay?
Just do your research before hand
@patent citrus @gritty oracle ty for the info ๐
Nay codes bought before expac release aren't retroactively given the latest expansion afaik
ok thats fine, but can i still play the free trial if I just dont redeem the code?
Yes
I'd do Titania/Innocence into SoS into savage.
cause im about to buy the pc download of the game on the square enix store and just wanted to make sure i wasnt fucking up
There are lots of hades parties too right now because of moogle tome event not a bad place to start since dps is trivialize and you only need to know like 2 mechanics
Thanks!
Buy off market board
Khloe offers one zonureskin per week
do they go for a lot on market board
Usually
20-30k
taht sounds worth it depending on the rewards i find
