questions-and-help

[left smelt]

so, on release of endwalker or before?

[random girder]

there should be no one online if you get up at like 8 am

or stay up late

[plush hound]

On release

[random girder]

either one works

i stayed up till 5 to get into jenova

[tawdry citrus]

does /cpose work while doing the play dead emote?

[leaden ginkgo]

:c

its 9pm on eu no one play?

or im cursed or something

Server travel. When? Is it going to be free?

[oblique glacier]

how much exp can i expect from a palace of the dead run

should i do the lvl 44 dungeon?

[lethal cape]

Can you make MCH during free trial? I believe free trial gets heavensward classes and story, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

(sigh)

[ionic linden]

i cant dye gear lvl 70? (From astro class quest)

[oblique glacier]

why wait for so long when u can just do a dungeon :/

[leaden ginkgo]

because im a dps

[oblique glacier]

im playing nin and i wait 8 mins average for a dungeon...

[faint flare]

Need to upgrade it in eureka anemos to dye it

[ionic linden]

its something endgame?

[leaden ginkgo]

level ?

[outer mural]

data center travel is gonna be implemented in 5.57 i believe

[faint flare]

Lv70 relic zone

[oblique glacier]

48

[outer mural]

and yes it is free it's just a universal feature

[leaden ginkgo]

youll see after reaching above 51

^

[oblique glacier]

:C now im scared

[leaden ginkgo]

ik this feeling

[outer mural]

dungeons will be quicker if ur wiating over an hour lol

[leaden ginkgo]

but i want to unlock potd

the floor 50~

to unlock HoH ~

[outer mural]

oh i siee

i thought u were just levelling stuff

[oblique glacier]

well i guess u should try around 1pm because i think lots of people are asleep right now

[lethal cape]

^

[faint flare]

Yes

[outer mural]

yes

[past dome]

Glamour question

[leaden ginkgo]

they sleep at 9pm ?

[lethal cape]

Ty

[outer mural]

you just need to get to ishgard by finishing ARR

[oblique glacier]

oh it's 12 am for me lol

[vapid imp]

So for lancer I am supposed to equip level five gear before the next main quest

How do I do this if I don’t have enough Gil to get it from the market?

[faint flare]

Buy a hat from the nearby merchant

[oblique glacier]

there's a vendor nearby

[faint flare]

You only need a hat

[outer mural]

buy a hat yeah

[vapid imp]

I see

[faint flare]

Cause you're already wearing ilvl 5 gear as your starting gear

[leaden ginkgo]

me too its 12 on my local but 9pm on server time

[outer mural]

sup

[oblique glacier]

i honestly thought palace of the dead is kinda popular

[ionic linden]

its worth doing the eureka anemos while lvl 70 or its old content?

i just want to dye the lvl 70 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

is it but not from lower floor

[oblique glacier]

do dancers queue as dps or healers?

[outer mural]

DPS

[leaden ginkgo]

ofc dps

[outer mural]

as dancers are DPS

no class diverges from this idea

[oblique glacier]

i read that they heal and give buffs too so i wondered haha

[leaden ginkgo]

^^

[faint flare]

Their single heal is the second weakest in the game

[outer mural]

a DPS can have utility

[faint flare]

And buffs doesn't mean you're not a dps

[outer mural]

but it is still a DPS

hene why iti s called a DPS

[leaden ginkgo]

dps

[faint flare]

Nearly every dps has a buff

[outer mural]

yes

[oblique glacier]

ok ok i understand

[wispy basalt]

what did i just

[oblique glacier]

sorry for the dumb question

[wispy basalt]

👍 its ok buddy

[sage mirage]

So I just got three Souls of the Crafter for the DoH Specialist thing. Am I supposed to just choose three jobs to upgrade? Are there any must-haves that I should choose? I don't want to make any permanent mistakes.

[faint flare]

Specialist is just a small stat boosr

[outer mural]

they are not permanent

[faint flare]

You can change 3 times a week

[outer mural]

^

pick the ones you think you'd craft the most on

[sage mirage]

Do I need to get another Soul to change it?

[faint flare]

Yes

[outer mural]

yeah but they're cheap

[faint flare]

450 scrips

[oblique glacier]

i got lots of materias and equips that can i put them into, is that relevant r/n or i should keep them for higher level?

[outer mural]

a custom delivery turn in per week will pay for it

keep for higher level stuff

melding only matters at endgame

[sage mirage]

So can I only have one specialist active at a time, and the Soul lets me change it?

[faint flare]

3 specialists

At a time

[modest igloo]

materia is only needed at lvl 80, you can sell anything below grade 7

[outer mural]

yes

below grade 7 is not used

[sage mirage]

So after I choose three, I need another Soul to swap one of them out?

[faint flare]

Yes

[outer mural]

correct

you get 3 swaps per week

[celest coral]

Do I need to wait til CNJ level 30 to swap to WHM?

[faint flare]

Yes

[potent shoal]

how do I delete a glamour plate?

[celest coral]

I see

[frank acorn]

are aether, primal and crystal all based in different parts of the us? if so, which one is best for someone on the pacific coast?

[faint flare]

Nope

All same location

All in cali

[frank acorn]

ah ok

hmmm aight

[outer mural]

go back to ur dresser and just empty it

[faint flare]

They're all identical on a functional level

[frank acorn]

so pick one at random and hope for the best? lol

[faint flare]

You can't go wrong

[potent shoal]

I figured it out, thanks though

[frank acorn]

right on, works for me. 😛

[faint flare]

Everything is populated and you play with everyone on the data centre

Your server choice doesn't matter

[outer mural]

pick the one that u have friends on

otherwise yeah pick whatever

[celest coral]

Screw it, Hunting log slow now. Time to do 1 run of potd

[granite spruce]

For ARR relic weapon. Im on the light collecting stage, is there any indicator to show if im close to being done? or when im finished?

[sage mirage]

Where do I see the recipes I unlocked from the crafter souls?

[faint flare]

There isn't many

[leaden ginkgo]

I bought a fantasia potion and am changing my character up, I just wanted to know, is there any armor limitation for certain races? Like Au Ra's have huge horns on their head, can they wear a helmet?

[faint flare]

And it's only at 80 atm afaik

[sage mirage]

Oh, I'm not close to 80, lol

[faint flare]

Specialist receipes atm are mainly newly added crafted primal weapons

[twilit arch]

only low level specialist recipes at the moment are the byakko weapons

which are in the master IV books

[obsidian patio]

No. The only limitations are for Viera and Hrothgar and it’s purely visual if it’s a helmet that doesn’t work for them

[robust crow]

if someone needs to run nier 3

what content patch do they need to get past first

i can't remember if paradigm's breach requires 5.x

[deep patrol]

Hey guys, doing frontline duty, I heard I get bonus wolf marks after I complete a certain amount. Is this true and how many frontlines do I have to do?

[twilit arch]

Nier raids only require 5.0 complete

they don't have any post shb requirements

[obsidian patio]

It’s in the challenge log, extra 1k for 7 frontline games played and another 1k for winning 3 games.

[deep patrol]

Ah, dont even think I unlocked challenge log. If I unlock now will it count the games I already have done?

[obsidian patio]

Probably not

The quest that unlocks it

[cunning maple]

If I discard level 80 class gear, will the guy just give it to me again if I go back to him?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

Should be free of charge or only like 10 Gil

[oblique glacier]

do dotons stack?

Creates a patch of corrupted earth, dealing damage with a potency of 100 to any enemies who enter.

Duration: 24s
Additional Effect: Heavy +40%
Mudra Combination: Ten→Jin→Chi, or Jin→Ten→Chi
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

[obsidian patio]

The damage should, yes.

[oblique glacier]

oh alrighty good to know

thanks

[obsidian patio]

If you mean with multiple ninjas

But with one ninja you can only have one Doton up

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone knows when eu players play the most potd below floors ? not 51~

does your augmented law's order weapon start with max stat allocation

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so forged anew is really just if you want to redistribute your original allocation?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[ebon needle]

Any quick ways to make gil? I've gotta get some new gear 😅

[obsidian patio]

Do your daily roulettes

Challenge log is another semi-easy source of direct Gil

[ebon needle]

Gotcha

[cobalt pagoda]

so I wanna start streaming but I don't wanna some people to know, and from what I saw on lodestone there is no way to tell what other characters that character you search is on the same account! plz tell me if I'm wrong about this?

[obsidian patio]

If you can, do the roulettes as the role in need, for even more Gil.

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[ebon needle]

Well I'm on tank so I might be able to fill that

[obsidian patio]

Correct, the lodestone does not tell you if different characters are owned by the same account

[obsidian patio]

Best bet is probably prime-time, AKA the most active hours of the day for your best chances.

So the PM hours in general

[cobalt pagoda]

there is also another thing, will just deleting friends from my friend list still show my character status ?(I heard you have to block them) cuz I might also need to just change the name of my curent character to try to erase the connection

[harsh nexus]

I would have a question, I do u write those arrows in game ?

[obsidian patio]

Not sure about that. :/

[obsidian patio]

Press tab when writing words

[harsh nexus]

Oh thanks !

[obsidian patio]

It’ll pull from a big library of pre-made phrases and words

[alpine star]

Hello! I'm looking for a super comprehensive guide on beast tribes. Anyone know of any super good ones?

[obsidian patio]

In terms of unlocking them or their general daily quests?

If it’s the latter YouTube is probably your best bet

[alpine star]

Unlockng, what ones have rewards that are worth doing, other tips and tricks.

[celest coral]

These symbols. Are they for the hunt log?

[faint flare]

No

Means you can fly there

[celest coral]

Oh got it

[obsidian patio]

I usually don’t recommend consolegameswiki, but they have a fairly concise list of the notable rewards each tribe has. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Beast_Tribe_Quests

[alpine star]

@obsidian patio Thank you very much! ❤️

[oblique glacier]

what happens if i leave a dungeon in the middle of it?

[open ember]

You get a 30 min penalty

[faint flare]

If the party is full you'll be penalised for 30mins

[oblique glacier]

ok and when do i unlock flying ive been told i get flying at lvl 50

[tardy patio]

did the player on the left do something to get his weapon to glow more, or does the fitting room just not have glows in it sheathed?

i noticed looking at ucob weapons they seemed less interesting than when I saw a video on them

[potent shoal]

what are the pins in the map?

[remote lintel]

the try on window doesnt show glow

@potent shoal places of interest

[tardy patio]

Aight ty. Darn

[agile laurel]

shading effects. they aren't there in fitting room

[tardy patio]

Does that mean its also missing extra glow when unsheathed? Like a universal glow effect is missing entirely

[agile laurel]

ulti weapons have a significant amount of flare to them

[elder root]

does quest exp get diminished if you're overleveled for it?

[slate arrow]

no because the reward is preset

unless it has level sync it usually doesn't scale to your level

[elder root]

alright ty

[slate arrow]

ah well correction

[elder root]

trying to hit 80 from 77 but these level 60 msq quests are taking a while

[slate arrow]

certain quests do have diminishing returns if you're too far from the level bracket

namely Levequests

[elder root]

ah I see

[slate arrow]

Your only significant source of EXP with that level bracket is your Daily Roulette reward

Don't worry about EXP grinding until you're actually at said level bracket for the expansion

[elder root]

not even the dungeon mobs huh

even if I'm level synced to them

[slate arrow]

yeah cause you're getting level 60 EXP amounts

[elder root]

oh..

yikes

[slate arrow]

which is insignificant because level 60 didn't used to give EXP back when Heavensward was current

[outer mural]

level 60 quests give nothing yes

well next to nothing

[crystal bluff]

if youre doing level 60 stuff, at level 77, maybe pick up another class to level with msq

[slate arrow]

and it's not like you have any content you can do at level 80 anyways because you still have stormblood and shadowbringers to do

[elder root]

I'm at stormsblood now actually but yeah

[elder root]

I actually want to do that but like

it triggers my ocd to have my current class at 77

[inland lagoon]

Yes, I'd just completed alphascape

[elder root]

but uh

how about taking quests higher than your current level

[slate arrow]

normally, you can't

[inland lagoon]

He did eventually spawn, after about 40 min of waiting

[elder root]

oh if you're 60, you can't take a 61 msq?

[slate arrow]

yes

[elder root]

that is unfortunate

guess I'm sorta forced to switch if I want to level my other class now

[slate arrow]

And you can't turn it in on a lower leveled job either

[elder root]

yeah I remember that

luckily you told me now

I still have 5 msq at 60

[fading aurora]

how long does it normally take people to farm enough stats to get to floor 150+ in potd to farm the pegasus

[slate arrow]

two hours or some thereabouts

[quick sage]

Hey guys

Asking for a friend... but is there a macro for tier 1 final relic quest for tools?

[elder root]

also why do some fates have an "exp bonus applied"

and others don't

[jovial quarry]

It’s random but it is meant to be incentive for fate farming

Also only applies to fates in Stormblood and beyond.

[elder root]

ah okay

yeah guess I'll do these ones when I see them

also the exp boost itself seems to be random?

some are 50% others are 100%

[jovial quarry]

That could be due to the forlorn maiden buff? I don’t recall off hand how those boosts work aside from their randomnes

[faint flare]

Forlorn maiden is always double the next fate

Which stacks with fates that have the innate double xp for 4x

[ripe hound]

Does anyone know what is this BGM called? (5.3 spoilers)
||https://youtu.be/7qjPmUszyqE?t=1875||
Played at around 31:15

It's a remix of Amarout theme I think

Wait... it's just "Mortal Instants" isn't it?

[random girder]

yeah its mortal instants

man 5.3 really still is the best patch

[paper kite]

Are there any sources for the "100% of proceeds from optional store go towards development"?

[ripe hound]

Yeah 5.3 is really fucking good

[sharp mesa]

hello people, im super new got a character to 11 yesterday. trying to find out if im going to stick around and whatnot. is there anything really important i need to know starting off?

[ripe hound]

The Story is Mandatory

[vernal urchin]

make sure to do your class/job quests!

[jade plaza]

Is there a better resource for changing your chocobo's color than https://ffxivchocobo.com/en because I have used this thing three times and three times it has absolutely dead wrong, resulting in an incorrectly colored bird

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind story progress

This is a final fantasy game first, mmo second

[sharp mesa]

im doing blackmage so ive been doing the them quests

[ripe hound]

Also the story is about 150-300 hours long

[sharp mesa]

thats dope

[ripe hound]

Yeah, that's the biggest thing you should know

[warm snow]

• Endwalker soon lol

[twilit arch]

the calculator is not 100%, there's still a bit of rng involved with it

[sharp mesa]

i havent grabbed a sub yet doing the demo then im gonna get the starter pack

[twilit arch]

but that's pretty much it

[ripe hound]

After endwalker it will be about 200-350 hours long lol

[sharp mesa]

i played WoW for 12 years im used to long lol

[ripe hound]

Nice

That's great

[sharp mesa]

i just

[ripe hound]

The story is really good though

[sharp mesa]

want a really good mmo, i tried elderschrools but it turns me off randomly and idk why

[jade plaza]

The calculator is like

10%

Maybe 5%

It's garbo

[random girder]

yeah if you buy the complete edition now (its on sale) and dont redeem the code you can save a ton

[ripe hound]

No worry, just keep playing the story then

[random girder]

buying complete now is cheaper than starter pack off of sale

[jade plaza]

Every time I have used it it has taken like three attempts, minimum

[random girder]

and complete has everything + 30 days free sub time

[twilit arch]

its because of the system itself in-game

[sharp mesa]

yeah thats what i meant

[random girder]

starter is just the free trial without restrictions

ok just making sure ^^'

[sharp mesa]

its got

uh

reborn

and two others

[random girder]

yeah starter is arr+hw, same as trial

[ripe hound]

And yeah, the starter edition is not recommeneded

[random girder]

complete is arr-shb, everything

[twilit arch]

its especially worse if you're trying for colours like snow white and soot black, as its easy to overshoot the rgb values

[ripe hound]

And buying CE now is quite recommended

[random girder]

$23 instead of $60 right now

when you redeem the code youll be forced to sub so drag out the free trial as much as you can if you want to be economical about it

[sharp mesa]

how long is the trial

[ripe hound]

It's lv 1-60, ARR and HW.
No time limit

[sharp mesa]

holy hell thats a long trial

[random girder]

yeah its the starter edition, basically

[ripe hound]

Yeah, it's basically the first 75 - 125 hours of the journey
MSQ of course lol

[sharp mesa]

msq?

[random girder]

main story quest

[verbal breach]

How do get to Alchemists guild?

Oh god im so lost

[ripe hound]

||https://youtu.be/7qjPmUszyqE?t=4224||
Does anyone know what this song at 1:10:24 is?

[spiral inlet]

can more than A rank mob be in the area at once

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[neon egret]

are there any Delubrum Reginae Savage discords/statics people know of?

[trail elk]

Where can you buy glamor prisms

[obsidian patio]

All ranks of a zone can be up at once if their spawn windows align

[obsidian patio]

Marketboard, grand company, or make it yourself, mainly.

[scarlet venture]

If I purchase the PC and the PS4 Collectors Edition and add them to the same Mogstation account, I can play the same toons on both platforms?

[random girder]

||https://youtu.be/ln6p1t80HDE||

[flat yew]

is recitation worth using for an adloq deployment pre-pull or should I save the recitation for an excog on a tank later on?

[ripe hound]

Thanks!

[obsidian patio]

Manually fish for a pre-pull crit without recitation if you really need it

[celest coral]

Ok, so I'm leveling slower than my hunting log's targets (next one's 29...)

POTD seems to be optimal for going from say 13->15?

[sharp mesa]

so should i worry about these other guilds besides the thaumage guild

[obsidian patio]

I’d say so

Only if you want to play those classes

[sharp mesa]

im just doing blm

you can play as all classes on one character?

[random girder]

yes

[sharp mesa]

Woooooooooooot

noway

[random girder]

getting everything to 80 also gets you a nice mount with nice music, thats why im doing it

though it is a grind

[ripe hound]

Yeah, it's really convenient in end game

[random girder]

but yeah having multiple jobs is really good to do

at least one of eac hrole

[sharp mesa]

im sure its a fun grind though. ive been having fun

its not just a go kill shit game

[random girder]

well

[ripe hound]

Where you can just be in mid raid, and be like: "Fuck this, I'm adjusting from Black Mage to Red Mage to raise people"

[random girder]

spamming dungeons is kinda brain polishing

[random girder]

you cant switch jobs in battle.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, like all MMO, there are quite a lot of brain polishing parts lol

[ripe hound]

Yeah I was thinking about switching between breaks lol

[random girder]

oh ok lol

[idle chasm]

Um... Is there an easier way to get drawing references for my character where I can move the camera so it's not always focused on the chest like it is in the game? I just want to draw her for my own personal enjoyment. I don't plan to sell them

[random girder]

if that were a thing it would be so wacky though

[random girder]

/gpose has more customizable angles

can move camera using wasd

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I really think the game should allow you to switch jobs mid instance if not in combat

[idle chasm]

OMG!!! Thank you!!!

[visual ibex]

anyone play this on console?

[sharp mesa]

wouldnt that make the game a little too easy though

for certain scenarios

im just glad you can do all on one

[random girder]

no i mean like. you are in idk e12s and to get optimal dps you switch between each dps job

[obsidian patio]

o/

[ripe hound]

Like, maybe only limit it to premade parties to keep the integrity of duty finder?

[random girder]

but no it would be a coding nightmare

this game cant handle that with its 1.0 roots

it would collapse

[ripe hound]

Yeah, sounds like a coding nightmare lol

[sharp mesa]

you think they'll ditch roots and rebuild a base

[random girder]

ffxiv having dante-style job switching would be really fun for tech reasons but absolutely incomprehensible

[random girder]

not anytime soon at all

[ripe hound]

But yeah, in this game it's pretty normal do adjust jobs depending on the party

[sharp mesa]

realistically how long do you think this game has left

[ripe hound]

Not anytime soon, since they already done it once

[sharp mesa]

till they make a new one

[random girder]

at least 10 years

[sharp mesa]

dope

[random girder]

thsi game will keep going even if there is another mmo

ff11 is still online

[visual ibex]

how do you get around your rotations? i just got back into it after like a 2-3 year hiatus and 1. i don’t remember my rotations and 2. idk how to set them

[ripe hound]

Hard to say... At least 2 more expansions I think

[random girder]

and i highly doubt its properly ending anytime soon

[visual ibex]

would i just dig around in settings? and pray lol

[random girder]

at the VERY LEAST

[sharp mesa]

ff11 is too everquest for me

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I know that they definitely have plans for the expansion after EW

[random girder]

there will likely be at least 1 more major arc

if not 2

if each arc is 3-5 expansions thats another 10 years at least of the game getting new content

[ripe hound]

Yeah, since 6.1 will start a new arc, they kinda have to finish it

[random girder]

and it will keep going even after that

[umbral egret]

hey so i had a question. A friend of mine already bought ff online and tries to get it again after awhile but he seems to not be able to buy it again (he has bought it through steam btw) any help would be appriciated

[spiral inlet]

how do I get here

I can't find the entrance

; ;

[ripe hound]

Yeah, at least currently it looks like the game should at least be able to outlast WOW

I mean WOW still gets new content right?

[obsidian patio]

I have most of my main combo skills on R2 for a majority of jobs, with healers having their damage skills on L2 face buttons.

For placing skills on your crossbar, go to Actions & Traits, press square on the action, and then the button combination of where you want it on your crossbar.

[sharp mesa]

wow just had an expansion

and people liked it

but alot of WoW people are coming to ffxiv

[ripe hound]

Yeah, currently there don't seems to be any reason for FFxiv to end yet

Yeah, FFxiv is also heavily designed for people to play on and off in mind

[sharp mesa]

dooes it tie in to any of the main games

[random girder]

it is a main game

[ripe hound]

Like, a lot of people just enjoy playing for 3 month every 2 years

[covert berry]

does story skip also completes the blue quests (like from dungeon etc)?

[visual ibex]

ahhh by any chance has the dragoon rotation changed? i kinda remember one but i mean the games changed like crazy

[random girder]

all ff games tie into each other in that they have similar themes

but very few are direct sequels

or in the same universe

[obsidian patio]

When was the last expansion you played?

[ripe hound]

It's a main game, but no, not really set in the same world as anyone else

[random girder]

ffxiv is basically made of references to the other games, but it doesnt share a universe with any of them

[visual ibex]

heavensward i believe was the last i played

i’m level 60

[random girder]

lol yeah drg has changed quite a bit from hw

[outer mural]

it's references to other games / different versions of chars

[ripe hound]

There are rumors that FF16 might be set in the same universe as FF14, but just rumors, and really unreliable ones

[sharp mesa]

so it is its own

[random girder]

more "added new stuff" than "completeyl changed"

[outer mural]

like how no two batmen are the same batman in different series

yes

[covert berry]

does story skip also completes the blue quests (like from dungeon etc)?

[random girder]

yes just like most ff games

[outer mural]

it is its own with a lot of references

yes marco you unlock dungeons up to that point

[random girder]

no

wait really

nvm

[visual ibex]

man now i have to learn also power pfp 10/10

[covert berry]

my question are the blues quests, not the dungeons

dungeons was an example

[umbral egret]

anyone ?

[ripe hound]

Not all blue quests are auto completed

[covert berry]

what about map completation?

[ripe hound]

A bit hard to answer, can you be more sepcific?

[random girder]

all maps and currents are unlocked up to the end of sb, yes

[ripe hound]

Do you mean FF online as in... FFxiv 1.0? or FFxi?

[visual ibex]

[covert berry]

@random girder what about discovery for fly?

[sharp mesa]

i died

[random girder]

yes

[covert berry]

oh

[ripe hound]

Or do you mean he brought FFxiv in the online SE store?

[umbral egret]

[random girder]

you can return to your home aetheryte, unlikely anyone will rez you if youre out in the open

[sharp mesa]

😦

[umbral egret]

and through steam

[obsidian patio]

Impulse Drive and Heavy Thrust are now poof. Disembowel is just a plain damage increase. You access Chaos Thrust combo with True Thrust now.
Blood for Blood is now Lance Charge and doesn’t make you take more damage.
Fang and Claw and Wheeling Thrust aren’t RNG anymore. Chaos Thrust always procs Wheeling Thrust, and Full Thrust always procs Fang and Claw.
Gierskogul no longer drains your BOTD gauge and should basically be used whenever it’s ready.

[umbral egret]

Steam doesn't allow him to buy it again

[crystal bluff]

is it in their library?

[obsidian patio]

Also TP as a whole has been entirely removed. Melee don’t worry about resource management anymore.

[sharp mesa]

are these baby raids worth it

to do

[ripe hound]

Oh yeah, Steam and SE Store are two different thing

[random girder]

guildhests? leves?

[ripe hound]

Was FFxiv 1.0 ever on Steam?

[sharp mesa]

uh the little pink !

[ripe hound]

I think I remember 2.0... or at least 2.2, 2.3 or something, was released on Steam?

[random girder]

yeah they teach you basics, can do them if you want

[umbral egret]

he can't reach the login platform to log into the game, we tried it through the demo but it seems it doesnt work

[ripe hound]

Wait what is little pink?

[empty kestrel]

im a bit curious. Why cant the game like.. Just load me back into my house? Instead of putting me outside or whatever.

[twilit arch]

housing doesn't exist until it needs to

[outer mural]

spaghetti code i imagine

[ripe hound]

I’m so curious. What is this little pink quest you all are talking about?

[empty kestrel]

i would assume its both

[outer mural]

that and it's less load on their servers to not keep generated housing instances loaded all the time

and only when you're actively playing

it's weird but it's not inconvenient enough for me to mind

[empty kestrel]

yeah

[agile laurel]

itd also cause issues if you were somehow barred from the house while logged out

or the house was removed

[empty kestrel]

like its a mild inconvenience, but i dotn really care

[agile laurel]

or you were suddenly in a wall

[wanton lintel]

I’ve typed in this stupid thing in the chat box but nothing happens…this effing game..even on shb the msq quests still suck like this one and are completely unnecessary

[ripe hound]

I can’t figure out what is the little pink “!” Quest!

Wait... you mean fates?

[sharp mesa]

sorry i was dying

yeah fates

[agile laurel]

be exact. punctuation, capitals

[ripe hound]

lol

[agile laurel]

it's not that big a deal

[ripe hound]

Sorry to disrupt lol

[wanton lintel]

Do I put the speech marks in too

[agile laurel]

no.

[wanton lintel]

I hate this game sometimes. It can be the worst but it feels like it’s trolling you too with these kinds of quests

[ripe hound]

But yeah, Fates give some exp if you want to do them for fun

[crystal bluff]

did you actually put it in the say speech type

[agile laurel]

O loveliest of branches, please grant me your succor!

precisely that

[sharp mesa]

i was dyingdoing heir today gone tomorrow

[twilit arch]

if you're on pc you can just copy the system message

[ripe hound]

Also I think it’s Feo Ul instead of Feo UI

[agile laurel]

based on the tv camera shot i doubt it

[wanton lintel]

I’ve typed in /say Feo UI and NOTHING happens been stuck here for half hour

[agile laurel]

that's Feo UL

[outer mural]

are you targetting the thing

[agile laurel]

not feo u-eye?

[outer mural]

F E O U L

[ripe hound]

Yeah it’s Feo Ul not Feo Ui

[wanton lintel]

Ok that’s why

[agile laurel]

lol

[outer mural]

HOLY SHIT

[sharp mesa]

should i buy gear from vendors

[outer mural]

FEO UI

[wanton lintel]

That is really super dumb why is the L looking like an I wtf?

[outer mural]

well

why would a last name be in all caps

[crystal bluff]

because lowercase L looks like that?

[boreal storm]

Lowercase

[outer mural]

[ripe hound]

Sure, if you need better gear.
The MSQ gives you gear, and Dungeon also gives you gear

[sharp mesa]

havent done a quest yet im on a msq

[wanton lintel]

The quest was just unnecessary

It’s not fun

After you finish around MSQ lv 15-18, you will unlock a few 4 man dungeons
Doing those dungeons will drop random gear that you can use

What are the jobs that are like Weaver, Gatherer, Carpenter, etc. called? I'm wanting to get a list of them

Yup, dungeons are pretty simple, mostly just follow the tank and spank trash
The classic tank and spank

[twilit arch]

disciples of the land and hand @idle chasm

land being gatherers, hand being crafters

[idle chasm]

Great! Thank you!

[ripe hound]

There are 8 Disciples of Hand and 3 Diciples of Land

[idle chasm]

Good to know!

[ripe hound]

There is no word in game for “Crafters and Gatherers”

Which I’m really annoyed lol

Nope, there are no Player Chat Bubbles in this game

[vague bison]

Hey guys, Im a nooby with a question

Im on lvl 52 bard quest "The Stiff and the Spent" and need to go from Ishgard to Falcons Nest. That passage near Skysteel Manufactory is closed by a gate. Do I need to progess the msq before or how can I get to Falcons Nest?

[ripe hound]

Probably, the lv 52 Bard quest should be gated by lv 52 MSQ

[vernal urchin]

if you haven't been to falcon's nest yet for msq, you will need to progress that first

[ripe hound]

After you reach lv 53 in MSQ it should unlock

[twilit arch]

the msq takes you to falcon's nest

the gate near skysteel manufactory doesn't open until you have flying in coerthas western highlands

before that you need to either teleport htere or make use of the porter

[vague bison]

aight, thats what I thougt. I played through all patch msq to finally get to my bard quests again lol

I bought the game for the wrong region (US; needed EU) because Im stupid and now got a copy of the game. Any US players on free trial who might want to buy the game?

[robust crow]

are you level 80?

[sharp mesa]

no

[robust crow]

don't worry about substats until you're 80

not like you can pick anyway

[sharp mesa]

yeah i was just wondering between gear

do i worry about both int and mind

or just int

[obsidian patio]

Super potion

[robust crow]

no mind at all

mind is for healers

BLM uses only int

damn that's awful

was hoping there'd be a decent pot that's useful even in niche situations

[leaden ginkgo]

I think I lost my Hall of Novice earring. Anyway I can get it again?

[boreal storm]

It’s a ring you get

[ripe hound]

Do the last mission in Hall of Novice again

Is there a sub in this channel to like grind gates/ ask for help on what times they pop/ align parties and stuff?

I just joined sorry if I sound stupid lol

[vernal urchin]

gates or fates?

It would drop again?

[dull spindle]

Fates** sorry

[vernal urchin]

fates pop up randomly, gates are a gold saucer thing lol

[random girder]

lol gates are thing t

too so its a lil confusing

[ripe hound]

@sharp mesa I just remembered, after you reach lv 15, go do a thing called Hall of Novice.
It will give you a set of gear and a ring, the ring gives like +30% exp until lv 30, usable on all jobs

[ripe hound]

ye, it's garunteed

[vernal urchin]

there's no real order to which fates pop up when

[dull spindle]

Oh, I’m trying to like ask people/ form a party of people who’d be interested in doing an S rank fate (Special Trasque Force) once it pops. Is there a section for “parting up” or forming groups or anything?

[vernal urchin]

afaik this discord doesn't really have a LFG or PUG channel

[dull spindle]

Oh okay, gotcha!

[random girder]

there are hunt discords

[devout crystal]

Question about glamour. So once I cast glamour, one that I choose for “appearance” that item gets destroyed and the base item changes its appearance?

[faint flare]

Nothing is destroyed

[devout crystal]

I see.

[faint flare]

You can reuse items for glamour as much as you want

[sharp mesa]

so what are these hunts i keep hearing about

[faint flare]

Lv50+ thing

Those random high level mobs you see

Are hunt mobs

[devout crystal]

I have to carry the “appearance” items with me all the time in order for me to cast glamour?

[faint flare]

Only when you want to use it. You can store it.in the glamour dresser in Inn rooms to make a glamour plate (preset) to auto glamour you in one press when you're in town

[tight geyser]

what do you do with those ilv130 blue gear that you can't store in the room? You wait for when you can desyth them? Save it for future Glamour possibilities?

[proud dragon]

Hi! I am new at the game

[tight geyser]

I got the lv60 job quest gear already

[proud dragon]

Somebody know if with free trial os possible to enjoy party?

[obsidian patio]

You’ll need a non-trial player to invite you to a party. Trial players can’t make parties of their own

[proud dragon]

Thanks!

[devout crystal]

Why certain equipments dont gain SB? Such as GBN base job gear.

[faint flare]

You're killing stuff outside its level

[obsidian patio]

Save it for other jobs that can use it, or give it to your grand company to turn into seals.

[faint flare]

You only get spiritbond fighting stuff near it'd level

[devout crystal]

Oh i see.

[obsidian patio]

Or for glamour if you think you’ll use it

[tight geyser]

It's THM/BLM gear only... Guess I'll check this trade, I didnt know about it yet

[obsidian patio]

Needs sergeant 2nd class to unlock

[tight geyser]

I see...

So do you have to buy items from market in bundles or can I buy it one by one

If anyone is in Faerie Special Trasque Force Dravanian Forelands X: 13.6 Y 35.4

[devout crystal]

What is the difference between casting a glamour and transforming an item into a glamour??

[faint flare]

You don't transform items into glamour

Everything is glamour basically

[ripe hound]

Does RDM actually lose a lot of DPS when raising?

[faint flare]

Yes

[devout crystal]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Glamour_Dressers#

[ripe hound]

You basically lose a Veraero, and the proc of Verstone right?

[devout crystal]

So this wiki is outdated?

[faint flare]

And the mana thunder/aero generates

Glamour dresser stores things for glamour use

You can remove it later

[ripe hound]

So like, 390 Potency and 14 Mana?

It's still less DPS than a SMN hard casting raise right?

But if SMN can Swift Raise, let SMN do it?

[outer mural]

rdm loses one GCD

yeah SMN loses less since it can just weave resses with swift

same if you can use swift with rdm

[little swift]

summoner still loses the gcd

[ripe hound]

But yeah, if SMN loses 3 Ruin III, it's not worth it right?

[little swift]

its not like either of them can't weave the swift

[outer mural]

i may or may not haven ever paid attention to if res was a gcd

[little swift]

raise is a gcd yes

but with a longer cast than recast

[outer mural]

yeah rdm should still prioritize raising smn doesn't have swift

[ripe hound]

I see

[little swift]

in the end its healers raise before casters

[ripe hound]

Got it

Even while progging, I should still ask my healers to do the first raises right?

[little swift]

if the person isn't needed immediately healer hardcasting can be argued to still be more worth than a caster doing it

but if they need to be up right then and there

[ripe hound]

Especially if both of my healers still have swift?

[little swift]

just raise

if your healers have swift they should do it first

[ripe hound]

I see

I feel like in my Static I'm being a bit too bossy, and always raise everyone super fast

So often I steal the first raise from the healer lol

[candid ruin]

how to buy replica of animated deathbringer after finishing the second quest Toughening Up

[outer mural]

generally my healers ask i only help if it's inoconvenient and we have a handful of deaths

[outer mural]

go back to asyz lla, should be a node that sells them like a vendor

[candid ruin]

there isnt

any node

after finishing toughening up

do i need to finish Coming into Its Own?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, anyway I'm actually a MCH main lol, I just adjust and play RDM when my group is first learning a fight lol

[candid ruin]

some guy on reddit said that u dont have to do it

[faint flare]

You need to progress to the Sharpened/Light grind step if it's your first relic

For the node to appear

[outer mural]

^

yeah might just have to do more

[outer mural]

generally just ask what your healers want in ur group

real answer is that

[ripe hound]

Got it

[rose jackal]

Does anyone have an issue where if you press PrtScr it doesn't actually take a screenshot? The game did make a screenshot folder but there is nothing in it.

[hollow briar]

How many GCD's in do people usually start to pop their raid-wides for MOST content?

[dusk merlin]

Eh those have tons of HP, if the spawn rate is typically very slow I wonder if I'm just better off doing the raids instead

[faint flare]

They don't really if yoy use actions

I murder a giant pack of rank 2 and 3 solo with bloodsucker warrior

Buffed ir slot slash murders half their hp

[open ember]

Bozja for skirmishes is faster cuz its two per skirmish. The CEs are the ones that take a while

[faint flare]

Buffed ir does the rest

[open ember]

The only ones that suck imo is Lurid memories

[random girder]

ir lost rampage

higher potency than the aoe cleave

whatever its called

[faint flare]

Banner/blood rage + lost slash is sill better

Slash is like 2700 potency

Under ir

Due to the guaranteed crit

5 rampages is 1500

[random girder]

slash is also an ogcd

wait

nvm

[dusk merlin]

Yeah I don't really use the actions

[random girder]

cna only have 2 actions

brain mush

[random girder]

please use them.

[faint flare]

You REALLY should be using them

Who doesn't want to double their dps

Or have 23s inner release Cooldown

[dusk merlin]

I seem to do alright without them I dunno

Plus they're limited use

[faint flare]

They're literally piss easy to farm

[dusk merlin]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[celest coral]

I dun see a blue bar anymore

[faint flare]

It's faded for rested xp

[warm snow]

Then armoury bonus

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[faint flare]

Jobs under your highest level job gets bonus xp

[celest coral]

Ahh

[random girder]

100 is armory 3 is food

Alright. Is there any penalties to completing the mission on easy mode?

[faint flare]

No

[sage mirage]

Gotcha, I'll just do that then

[solid fog]

Can you have 2 or multiple x15 raw emotions quests active at teh same time ?

[faint flare]

No

You cant have duplicates of the same relic quest

[solid fog]

so you can only work with 2 relics at the same time

[faint flare]

No

You can have 1 job hold 1 quest each

[solid fog]

What no..? I can have ninjas timeworm artifact quest active and monks raw emotions quest active

i mean like that

[faint flare]

Yeah and you can farm both items at once

And you can farm the earlier memories if you go get those quests active

[solid fog]

though you have to do another 15 raw emotions for ninja

[faint flare]

You do

It's 15 per

But as long as thr quest is active you can farm more

[outer mural]

^
that is the recommended way of doing it

's how i'm doing it

[solid fog]

i can reach both artifact an raw emotions to 30/15 ?

[solid fog]

and bitter?

That's what they're there for

Yes, mobs as well

Ok stage 2,3 can be farmed like that if u can find a group that is

[faint flare]

Even solo mass pulling is fine

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone want a cheaper shadowbringers collectors code

[solid fog]

so stage 2,3 and 5,6 can be farmed together

stage 4 is skipped cuz its only once

its not that bad after all

if you can survive 15 DR that is

wrong stage 4 is not skipped

thats the loathsome memories

well while you farm 2,3 with mobs, if castrum pops u go inside

guess 2,3,4 can be farmed together

[open coral]

Crafting thing

[visual reef]

oh so its pretty useless i HAVE to do soul without a life quest XD ok ty

[open coral]

Lets you take apart gear for materials.

[green grail]

desynthesize the gear, you get desynth levels from stuff

at higher levels it gives you increased chance of rare materials for things like primal materials from extreme trial weapons

[gleaming finch]

hos do i mark enemies and floor tiles in dungeons / raids?

[open coral]

To mark enemies, right click > mark

[green grail]

or you can open the mark/waymark menu through i think the party menu? or duty

[open coral]

Social

I think

[green grail]

the default keybinds are ctrl+m and ctrl+shift+m iirc

[gleaming finch]

ctrl m is perfect

[leaden ginkgo]

... so are there any Essences in Bozja that aren't- damnit, what's the word? Something I don't need to make a stockpile of and worry about running out on during a CLL or DR run?

[slate arrow]

The essences are permanent until you leave the instance or swap jobs

[latent prism]

how do I move the location of lost actions in my hud?

[leaden ginkgo]

so if I get any, don't touch them. Got it.

[slate arrow]

Why shouldn't you touch them? They're basically a free buff.

[heavy wadi]

Use your essences. Save your parties headaches.

[slate arrow]

If you need basic essences, the mobs outside the first camp basically guaranteed a fragment drop with an essence

[heavy wadi]

There's absolutely no reason to hoard them because you can either farm them very easily or just buy the fragments off the mb.

[gusty island]

Is this not bannable? I've read that SE really does not like plugins unlike most other MMOs

[latent prism]

they don't care

[heavy wadi]

As long as you don't talk about it in game you're good.

[slate arrow]

It is, but they can't detect it. So just don't be a dick with em and they won't know

[vestal needle]

how long is this?

My wedding is in 5 minutes x.x

[gusty island]

Ohh I see

[leaden ginkgo]

Sucks to be you.

[earnest garnet]

oof

[gusty island]

How's this server's stance on talking about plugins?

[heavy wadi]

That's... not a very necessary reply.

[heavy wadi]

They don't care here.

[gusty island]

Perfect 😄

[heavy wadi]

Most people use ACT or graphical mods

[solid fog]

How do you get high ranking in potd ?

[clear garden]

Is there a way to check my desynthesis skill level for a class?

[obsidian patio]

Go to the higher floors with good time while killing stuff

[solid fog]

cleared floor 200 and got like 1.8m i see party rankings with 3m..

[twilit arch]

in the character info panel, you can click on your crafters to open the desynthesis level menu

its also a bar under your crafter's levels

[clear garden]

Gotcha, ty

[solid fog]

so its only time? not if you use pomander or not

gotta speedrun it ?

[ripe hound]

It took me along while, but I just realized this isn’t an Official FFxiv Discord that SE made
SE never made any official FFxiv Discord,
This is just the biggest one so we are all here lol

[whole wasp]

nah. balance is bigger

[obsidian patio]

Killing extra enemies probably increases the score too, but there’s inherent risk in killing more than you need

[ripe hound]

Hun, I didn’t know

[obsidian patio]

Since later enemies can be quite deadly

[scarlet hinge]

How does the data center visit work

[ripe hound]

Probably because Balance’s Help Channels are more spread out. So the generic help channel is really empty
I like to stay in discord help channels for all kinds of games lol

[ripe hound]

No idea, it’s not released yet

[clear garden]

Is there a recommended expenditure of GC seals?

[twilit arch]

promotions should be a priority unless you're already 2nd LT, otherwise its kind of whatever you need

i namely use gc seals to buy ventures and dark matter

[latent prism]

does Square Enix usually fix exploits like caster cheese in zadnor

[clear garden]

I thought I was at max but I suppose not? :o

[twilit arch]

Captain is current highest rank

[latent prism]

or is that considered a feature

[twilit arch]

requires you to do 5 different command missions with your squadron and then complete the flagged mission that appears after

[clear garden]

Gotcha, thank you

[random girder]

its a feature

they designed lost actions with the intention of them being wacky

[latent prism]

ok sweet

[obsidian patio]

Hard to say if the cheese is truly intended since you swap out a lot of actions to make it happen

But even without swapping multiple actions you can hit BIG damage numbers as a tank/healer with their super DPS essences, being Profane and Irregular.

[random girder]

theyd make buffs unstackable if they werent tbh

[twilit arch]

or make the actions unswitchable during combat

[random girder]

yeah

[twilit arch]

so inclined to say that its very much intended

[spare plinth]

is it worth buying voidrake seeds to get some material for crafting clothing glamour? or no

[twilit arch]

if the mats are expensive on the marketboard, i'd do voidrakes then yeah

[obsidian patio]

The materials you can exchange for can be pretty valuable so it’s a possible money maker too

[twilit arch]

they take a day to grow so its not the worse thing to do

[obsidian patio]

And it’s a easy source of some unspoiled node items

[pastel cosmos]

If I have an subscription account of ff14 and I want to play the free trial version can I still have my character and save file?

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhh, I don't think so.

[twilit arch]

no

[pastel cosmos]

thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

... so how do Essences work anyway?

[gleaming sail]

I know you're not supposed to mention using the dps meter in the game, but how do you install it? I have no idea if I'm even doing any damage rn lol

[obsidian patio]

They’re basically a stance that stays active until you leave the instance or swap to another job.

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[solid flint]

[obsidian patio]

Yes, they’re the status info UI elements

[obsidian patio]

You can also split the element into 3 separate pieces; Buffs, Debuffs, and Other

Other being long buffs like FC actions

[random girder]

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I keep the trial client

[random girder]

are you on steam

[leaden ginkgo]

No psn

Same account

[random girder]

what do you mean keep trial client

upgrading is the samr account yes

you keep your character

[obsidian patio]

Simply buy the game from the PS store and it’ll do all the work for you

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean can I use the same trial client will turn into the complete game?

I din't need to reinstall?

[obsidian patio]

The application should become the full game

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

It wasnt meant for me

My friend was asking and I jusy

So do I lose essences when I use them then turn them off or--

Asked in first person. Thanks fir the info

[random girder]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

God damnit.

[obsidian patio]

If you turn the buff off then it’s off

[leaden ginkgo]

so if I DC, and I often do, i'm fucked. Great.

[gloomy mortar]

When I use the rear Cannon in Castrum Meridian against Livia, the outer fence gets in the way of the screen when rotating the gun to the center. Any way to avoid this?

[obsidian patio]

Try having the camera higher

[stiff linden]

Hi all, I'm new to FFXIV and just got the bundle on steam, is there anyone that would be able to DM me and help me figure out this game key thing? I've followed everything correctly but nothing is working and im still stuck on the starter edition account

[obsidian patio]

Did you buy Shadowbringers or the complete edition?

[stiff linden]

I bought the bundle, so im assuming its the complete edition

[obsidian patio]

You fucked up then. :/

You can’t redeem the complete edition with the starter edition already registered

[twilit arch]

well, steam iirc gives you 2 codes

[stiff linden]

Would I be able to make a new square enix account and use the key? or am i 100% out of luck?

[twilit arch]

one for starter edition and one for shadowbringers

that said tho, is the starter edition you already own for steam?

or its it for non steam
