the only aggro skills you need are provoke and shirk for tank swaps
any attack you do with tank stance on gives aggro
Again. Iron will gives EVERY SINGLE SKILL you use a 10x aggro multipler
shirk ?
!action shirk
It's a role skill
the skills says lvl 48 right there
thanks
you need a fantasia
does it cost money?
oh alright, ill save the free one for the male viera kek
I have a 2016 FFXIV account - can I use the steam launcher to access that or do I need a standalone legacy launcher, if there even is one?
which platform did you buy it on
PC
i use steam to launch but just your id and what ever device that you are linked too
windows I believe - dont think it was on steam at the time?
Steam and the website have individual ones yeah
If you didn't buy on steam you can't use steam
Steam and pc fill the same licence slot
i did not buy it with steam but you can add non-steam games to the list so you can launch it from steam
all it does is open the FF appl
^ yes :) thanks
does anybody knows where can I get Empyrean Potsherd?
From brown chests rarely in the deep dungeons
Heaven on high from bronze coffers and beating bosses on and past floor 30
thank you
what was the site to find guilds?
is there another way to level crafters, getting bored of ishgard
like do levequests work
!faq communityfinder
Levequests are a fantastic way to level crafters. They’re on par with Firmament crafts.
Is there a way to see the constellations drawn in the sky after the astrologian questline? I thought I read something like that a while ago but after googling I can't find any reference to that
Does servers has cross play ? like between Chaos Light
no
Nope, you can visit other servers in one data centre. before ew there is going to be data visit tho
its scheduled to be before EW
^ mb
What do u guys recommend to sign in ? Light or Chaos
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
Oh wow so i can play in any region !
tbh you can come across any one
does not matter what world and you have the good and bad and some are ok and others demanding and or toxic
but there is a mix of them in all of them
is 50k alot for gold saucer
when do I stop getting exp in potd?
in potd? at 60, you're capped in levels insdie of potd
Nah
as for getting exp for classes outside, you still get exp regardless
so it's not worth the tombstones?
so I can continue even tho I am level 60 outside?
It’s a decent compromise reward if you have everything else and the tradable items aren’t good Gil
i dont have anything from there
yes but not great exp
POTD past 60 is horrible experience
I just want to get to level 61 for hoh
Then unless you really want something from the gold saucer go for the other stuff
sometimes it follows and sometimes it sits on my shoulder
how do i make it always sit
For the relic quest change of arms, can I get loathsome memories of the dying from Zadnor CE's instead of bozjan front ce's?
If /beckon doesn’t make it work then you can’t control it
Nope
oh it works ty ❤️

how long can one take a samurai from 50 to 70?
Some minions only do it on their own, if you’re standing still, or try to do it immediately
errr how quickly**
there's behavior, this one is obedient
where do you snag xp boosts
boiled eggs mmmmmmm
creating a character on a preferred world, preordering endwalker
joining an fc with heat of battle active
or using the squadron manual for the 15% xp boost
where can i find one, i want a fc with exp boost, mine is very small and inactive
community finder
When does fashion report change?
It changes on weekly reset
main quest and class quest and fates are helpful for exp and also there maybe others

ive been playing this game for only 3-4 months and have been playing BLM only. looking to start leveling an alt job. is there an equivalent to ahkmorning for non-casters? specifically, i love how it shows me a rotation for each level range to learn the class well as i'm going. also like the bis pages
(looking for a DRK one to start)
Only healers have their own dedicated discord like Akh Morning (Fey’s Temperance)
The rest of the jobs use the balance AFAIK
Weskalber for levelling rotations in YouTube form
But levelling rotations for the most part are just "lv80 rotation with stuff removed'
I'm looking for somethin glike this
Hey, I'm trying to get back into the game but I can't login to the launcher
also check out THe Balance discord server for further questions
they have plenty of rotational overviews in their channel guides
I just renewed my subscription but the steam launcher is still giving me the "This service account does not have a valid license" message
the only thing i found out and no info how to pay for subs
but i think it is safe to say pay for it through http://mogstation.com/
FINAL FANTASY XIV専用サービス管理ページ「モグステーション」です。
Can you go to your mogstation and take a screenshot of everything this shows?
did you launch the game through steam previously?
That's what you're meant to do
@heavy wadiI think I did
do what wynne said
@obsidian patio
just so yall know pc and ps and max are seperate license but x-platform
You’re not a steam account
ah, ok
You can't use the steam launcher
if you want to play on another device you have to buy another license
but your id log will work for all devices
same id i meant
is the menphina's earring permanent when you preorder?
Yes
damn, might as well i guess then
@remote lintel i ran into a guy randomly who's a part of the fc i wanted to join !!!!! like super random, and i got invited im so happy
hi guys, I joined the filipino ff14 group and they told me the community is in tonberry, i cant find tonberry....
Change your data centre
if you go on data center and you can see all the worlds
nice. thanks guys!
I heard there are oceanics servers coming with endwalkers, is that true?
Won't be with endwalker itself, most likely 6.1
is that before or after endwalker? I'm assuming after
X.0 is the patch at an expansion’s launch
Ahh ok, thanks! wow i join this discord and my download actually works now

queue for it
what is element size in ui settings
How big the UI is
How big that ui element is
??? it doens't seem to do anything though when I move it
oh the slider is for transparency
Heyyy can I ask someone a 5.3 question?
yes
just spoiler tag it
||In the Raid where you're supposed to break free by spamming buttons, how far to you spam until? I got success but I suppose someone else was too slow? We wiped twice lol||
The whole time.
you have to spam to prevent it from dropping to 0
it tells you how long it lasts right underneath it
Ahhh okay
If it's below ~20%, it'll always go back up to 20% so you don't have to mash it
If 1 person fails then everyone does
Please don't break your hand
Im doing it for the first time and then someone left sadge
if anyone fails the quick time event then everyone dies
you don't even need to mash just one button
just faceroll your keyboard
may open a shitton of windows in the process but
it Works
Just don't hit enter
never, ever hit enter
Or alt and wasd by default
LOL I hit enter the first time
If you do you're legally obliged to post whatever you mashed
but yeah, if one person fails that then everyone does
not all of those QTEs are like that
It's the only one due to its significance in the story
Notably, it's also not in the Extreme version of the trial

What is Shop Selling Price? How is it different from the normal “Sells for” indicator?
14 hours
How much an npc somewhere sells it for
shop selling price is how much you can buy it from an npc vendor for
Ah alright then
Hey, is Yoshi-P a married guy?
not that we know of
Yeah he’s married
In that case, should I just choose the bulk sell item from quest rewards?
To ffxiv
Aw :(
Yay 
is there a sundry splendors in ichgard? or is the one in uldah highest level gear i can get currently
the one in ishgard opens when you beat HW
oh okay, thanks
Free trialer here. I just dinged 60. I have maybe 10 more quests left to do in Heavensward, and then all the MSQ quests from patch 3.1 to 3.56. I noticed I won't be getting any more XP now, so should I save those quests for when I buy the game in a couple weeks? So the XP doesn't go to waste? Or will there be enough XP in the MSQ's from Stormblood and Shadowbringers to get me through those expansions just via MSQ?
Is there an off-tanking guide for GNB?
what are the chances i2501 will happen during my payment
I’m asking if there’s a guide on off-tanking that covers the playstyle of a GNB in that position, as I’m completely new to it
You play the same tbh
Just use Aurora whenever, and heart of light before tankbusters
@versed field pick up another class and level it and do msq on that
or buy the game
Heart of stone*
just instead of shirk you provoke during a tank swap :3
Right
Light is for raidwides
also when can i fly in ichgard?
thank you
you cant fly in cities
as for offtanking, that varies from fight to fight so there isn't a universal answer
or in the areas around it at least
ill be buying the game when steam has it on sale in a couple weeks
when you get all the currents and progress the msq enough
is there any way to change the size of the chat tabs
later in the msq
Cast those on the tank too when you can @leaden ginkgo you can usually just be topped off via aoe healing
Got it, ty
I'm assuming HW zones. You have to collect aether currents for them, with the aether compass. You also have to do select blue quests, and the last current is from the MSQ
also be sure to use heart of light a lot, when raidwides go out
@versed field also the msq gives you enough xp to level you
flying in hw zones isn't unlocked until later in msq, anyways
ok nice ty
Basically spam your compass (on a side hotbar) as you go about your business
And if you see a blue quest, check if it awards a current
What race is alisaie
If I’m playing OT and need to grab adds, do I need to put my Royal Guard stance up to generate enough enmity?
yes
Has anyone done a mog of her?
Like mogstation outfit?
Do I keep it on the whole time or just for the initial grab?
I mean like a glamour to look like her
Mods? No idea, but considering how many mods exist, probably. Her hair and outfit are available from mogstation
Her Heavensward outfit is a unique outfit unobtainable
For the entire time you have the mob. I also recommend turning on your stance after the MT has established Aggro, to make tankswaps smoother.
Wait her hair is mog station only
Yep
Thanks!
technically her's isn't
only alphinaud's is
they have different hair ties and their hair goes different ways
So where do u get hers from
you donmt
you can't
yeah
That*
how do I reinstall this game?
they're essentially identical
I want to try so many dif glams but half the characters don't have items in game
!faq download
Which is the best grand company to join?
what's the time of cutscenes between each fight in praetorium? Is there a list ?
Whichever color you like better
whichever you like the most
I see, thanks guys
they're all functionally identical
Yeah that was what I had doubt with
I choose the one in Limsa because its market and bell are close to main aetherite, so I always go there and dont wanna go to other citi for GC
is there a way to make the chat tabs smaller
I will choose that one then, and I like the npcs too, thanks for the info
will my IP get softbanned if i create multiple trial accounts in same IP
thxs
Probably.
UI scaling in system config, I believe. Not the 1080p/4k option I mean the 100-150-200% one
hi o/ i just found someone i think was hacked, i looked them up on the lodestone too and i am 90% sure theyre hacked where do i go to report this?
System > support desk > cheating iirc
Is FF14 PC cross progression with the PS5 Version?
Yes
oh whaat nice
take note that you need to buy the game again if you intend to move from PS to PC and vice versa
👍
is there a way to only remove side quest markers on the map
no
Complete them
If you're having difficulty clicking an aetheryte because of quest icons hold ctrl

is there a way to rename your chocobo?
The chocobo porters in the starting cities should be able to
MIGHT need to be the one you got the chocobo from
pretty sure you can do it at the stable in your house/fc house

Hi so I've heard people mention that playing Shadowbringers was such a great experience. So my question is this: Does your starter/leveling experience up to 60 change (aside from races/classes) at all if you have the Shadowbringers and/or Endwalker stuff?
Nope
hi, me and 2 of my friends all are f2p, can someone inv us to a party please 😄 (to be all in a pt)
also if im on the ft, is it worth it to get shadowbringers or wait until endwalker comes out and get that
Get Shadowbringers now, you got PLENTY of time to catch up
okay ill wait till i hit 60 then get it
you have access to FC and can invite people to party up together, so probably the social aspect could be different if you're playing with friends?
assuming you're only in free trial atm
Can i grab more than one tether in the griaule fight as the only player in dohn mheg? I’ve got npcs in my party with me
Is there any tool to help finding a free company btw? Newly started on Chaos-Spriggan, and I met some NPC's that mentioned the
Aye I'm on free trial and don't know anyone that plays, unfortunately
!faq communityfinder
with how they're spaced, no
one tether is always getting in
Yeah the fight basically has a hard enrage to it.
Eventually after enough tethers it will one-shot the party
Ooh that's unfortunate /:
i played for 11 hours without realising 👀
Where are the entrances to the binding coil of bahamut turns? I want to go solo them but cant find them
Just use the duty finder
Btw do I need to buy Online Starter edition, or will getting Shadowbringers suffice as a paid version of the game and have all the features etc?
Set the option to be undersized party
Damn, because i keep wiping at the last stage of the fight when he gets supermassive and uses timber for the last time
And no amount of LBs/hissatsus/midares is enough to catch up
@fossil cloud you need the base game to use shadowbringers
how many times have you seen tether?
I see, thank you
idyllshire
Sounds like you’re taking the other NPC tethers, who will never adjust for mechanics to you, or you’re not doing enough damage
Let the NPCs go to their tethers and taking one that’s not covered by them
Which NPC? Hismena has everything but weapons
Bertana
one of the npcs to the side of hismena
ty
@obsidian patio @heavy wadi ty!
I took your advice and finally cleared it, thank you! Although sometimes Urianger or Minfilia would just straight up not tether
I can’t attest to the randomness of that last problem as I’ve only wiped twice, so thank you
in TEA, if someone with a nisi dies, will the other person with that same nisi die too?
this might be a weird question but does anyone have the color codes for the old versions of the kagerou overlay
No
I'm a new player and am interested in the white mage class because I've been interested in its ability to deal damage and heal its teammates as well as its simplicity for newbies. Was wondering how significant is the damage and is the white mage class a "good" class (if there's a tier list for the jobs)
Nisi itself is just a dot and "don't have 2 different Nisis"
Significant and Yes
!faq meta
Ooo I see tysm
Hi, can anyone give me advice on how to better wall to wall pull as a PLD? Been playing for a month and I'm currently lv.60 and I die once in a while when I try to wall to wall pull in dungeons. I think I stagger my buffs decent enough and always use hallowed ground first, but sometimes the damage is too much and I end up dying and getting the party wiped.
If you're cycling Cooldowns with hallowed then the rest is on your dps and healers
there are lots of factor going into w2w wipes
are you geared enough?
is the healer ready? is they geared enough?
are the dps doing good enough damage? if they're half asleep you and the healer will run out of resources before the pull is dead
which dungeons btw
I think my gear is ok. Just started Heavensward and bought the level 60 gear in ishgard
some dungeons just shouldnt be w2w pulled
If it's normal quality vendor gear then it's pretty bad
Oh
Basically never buy vendor gear
I see lol
you should have ironworks gear
from mor dhona
MSQ should give you decent gear at least for your first job
The HQ gear from story will probably be better as it gets like 54 or so
Yeah i have augmented ironworks gear. But it's level 50 and has less stats.
If you're level 60 you can look up the high quality (
) i255 gear on the marketboard
I'm still on the trial. I wanted to beat heavensward before using my full game code.
does zadnor / southern front give similar rates of XP from CE's? I'm aware that zadnor gives much more mettle but idk about xp
wait you said you just started HW
did you wipe in ARR dungeons?
You gear for your story leval
some of those are really hell to w2w
Not job level
@shell fossil You a WoW exhile like me? LOL.
Identical xp
@limpid oar nah I've never played wow
thank you!
ahh ok.
So stick with augmented ironworks?
ironworks lasts until 55
I see where everyone (big Community folks) from WoW are playing FFXIV and it's getting a lot of positive reviews.
then you replace it with msq gear
crap I'm in the wrong channel again. 😦
Ah ok i see. Tyvm everyone! 👍
when 9.1 drops. most will go back again. its pretty common. you can play both games at the same time. FF doesnt really demand much of your time.
I played it (FFXIV) on PS4... and it was cool and all, but... Hey, I do have a question, can I access my char on PS4 that I create on PC? and vice-versa? Or are they tied to platform?
yes
they are cross-platform
wow
when you buy the game for pc
but you gotta buy the game again if you play on pc over ps
ok. That's pretty cool though
Are extreme duties meant to played with voice chat or can I queue up with randoms and be fine?
you use party finder to make a premade party
is that like an hour of gameplay?
not even close
5 hours?
so around 2 days :CCCCCCCCC
Patron Diety has no actual effect right?
correct
Cheers
im not sure where my dark knight quests are, im level 50 and i still havent gotten another one
check below msq
nothing
Do you get DK in heavensword or shadowbringers?
heavensword
Btw I see a lot more jobs listed, than what is shown on the creation screen, is this due to not owning the full game, or are a variety of jobs unlocked as you progress?
You get access to Rogue/Ninja by reaching level 10 and going to the guild to switch to it; you get access to Dark Knight, Astrologian and Machinist once you progress the main story enough to reach the city of Ishgard (level 50, first expansion content).
rogue is unlocked at lvl 10. they were released late so they didnt make it into character creation. scholar/summoner splits into 2 from arcanist at lvl 30. Dark knight, astro, mechanist is from the first expansion zone. stormblood and shadowbringers job requires the DLC
The remaining four jobs: samurai, red mage, gunbreaker and dancer require the expansions.
so Red Mage, Samurai, Dancer, Gunbreaker needs buying of game
Cheers you two, thanks!
Is there a significant difference between Conjurer, Thaumaturge, and Arcanist?
yes they are entirely different classes
Ooh I see. And the other two are just different flavors of spellcaster dps?
What is the best way to track minions? I've seen a website but it escapes me right now
correct, they are different classes that cast spells from a range
Arcanist is a caster dps that can branch off into both a dps job and a healer job at level 30.
@fossil cloud Such a cute little sprout! *Squeezes cheeks
Thauma is the big boom spellcaster. Arcanist>Summoner is a spellcaster with a pet
Arcanist specializes in consistent damage through multiple sources between its pet, damage over time effects and various summons
Thaumaturge is cast-time heavy and casts large hard-hitting spells while swapping between its damage and cooldown phases
Do you get stormblood when you upgrade to shadow bringers?
Yes Gunner
yes
you get both if you buy ShB
is there a way to make duty pop sounds even if I'm not tabbed into the game
Yeah, in the sound options
aah I see. Thanks for the info 😄
Ahh ok thanks, going to find somewhere to buy it haha
Play in background
yes
In sound settings you can select which types of game sounds will be heard when the game window is not active. For duty pop sounds you want to enable "system sounds".
There you go, I couldn't check I was in Q

Is every blue quest worth accepting?
yes, it will have some sort of tangible unlock at the end
You don't need to do the ones which unlock other classes, unless you want to play those classes.
You don't really need to unlock every levequest issuer either unless you really want to.
however if you're still doing MSQ, you can save that stuff for later. don't need to accept and do all of them asap
These will be pretty obvious, for example "So You Want To Be A Lancer"
Hi! Does wondrous tails 9 seal exp scale with your level?
Q/ i was using the 30days trial but i bought the start edition but can't use chat cuz system still count me on demo
yes it does niv
It's always 50% of an EXP bar.
Nice awesome. Thanks @outer mural was pleasantly surprised it gave me half
ok cool, there is a lot in revenant toll but I wasnt sure if they were all important
You can also ignore "Leves of x"
"Legacy of Allag" and the questline that follows it is mandatory for continuing the MSQ.
the free trial has no time restrictions. also did you put your game code into mogstation?
I'm asking for a bit of help here: I'm doing the Books for my relic and I'm a point of doing GC leves. If I talk to the NPC I need it from it says I need to be sergeant third class, is it for any GC or specifically the company that gives the leves?
GCs. They don't care which one you are
but I'm first class sergeant already
Shall i get the code in the email ?
it should be in your email yes.
put it into your mogstation
!faq mogstation
If you are, you can accept the leves. If you can't accept the leves, you might be mistaken about your rank.
^
It should be definitely giving it to you. Double check rank, and send the message it's giving you if you're sure you're about Sergeant Third Class?
I'll go take screenshots if necessary, I leveled up my GC (imperial flame)
I'm looking for a serpent GC leves for my book
but apparently I'm supposed to be able to accept them?
Yes.
Yeah, it worked out for me perfectly fine I did my books and had to accept from all 3 GCs
Note the rank required differs for each levemete. For the Mor Dhona ones, for example, you need to be a Chief Sergeant.
Is there an easier way of targeting enemies, it's always such a pain when theres so many people blocking
What's a good place in HW to buy lvl50+ gear for gil?
if you're on MK/B, tab is default key for targetting and swapping stuff
if you got agro, you can click the enemy list
Target with tab, shouldn't be clicking.
I am Flame Corporal, and I can't get it
Can click enemy list if you're already in combat with them yes
Jewelled Crozier, Foundation
Corporal is lower than Sergeant.
You need to rank up.
^
Where's that near 😮
Its in the ishgard city. the marketplace area
Forgotten Knight?
What do you need vendor gear for, Chris?
WHM
I'm undergeared for this one dungeon (I've been doing story with DRK)
But I like swapping b/w the 2
No, the Jeweled Crozier. It's on the aethernet list for Ishgard.
In the Pillars.
nono. its the jewelled crozier. in the map with the church and houses.
The Jewelled Crozier is on the aethernet list if you have it unlocked

look for battlecraft supplier then buy whatever you need
What class makes armor for the Dragoon?
Vendor gear for HW is fine, right? The 70/80 is poopy?
All of them, there's not a 1:1 relationship like that.
where do i pick up my relic wep quest for dancer
it's from Bozja, from SJeros, provided you unlock that questline
or err
Gangos rather
vendor gear is always crappy but its an option
A dragoon's spear might be made by a blacksmith or carpenter, headpiece by a goldsmith, body piece by an armourer, pants by a weaver, boots and gloves by a leatherworker, and all of those using intermediate materials from an alchemist
and those could all be part of the same set
just as an example.
yeah that's what i was worried about Dyson but w/e it's not that bad at level 60 for gil
vendor gear is not recommend at all after 50
ARR is kind of weird on its stat scaling
but once you get into heavensward you really do not want to use vendor gear
So I've got to really invest in each of the crafting jobs for decent armor
for combat jobs
no. crafting is optional
you don't really need to, crafting it yourself saves money but you can just buy the crafted gear
you can always just buy armor or wear dungeon/raid gear
crafting is never a necessity
you dont need to be a crafter to get good gear
You get all the gear you need from MSQ, dungeons, and trading Allagan Tomestones.
What are allagan tomestones/
u trade them for gear
currency
PvE currency which you'll start accumulating at level 50
What is the color order on the quality of gear, same to similar as WoW? White, Green, Blue, Pink from what I have seen thus far?
no
There isn't one.
color doesnt matter
if you click on the gil icon in the bottom right. you can see the various currency
nope
colour gives you a general idea of where its from for the most part
Oh i apparently have 500 tomes is enough for a set?
no
White is usually crafted/vendor, green generally dungeon gear, blue raids/tomestones, pink is aetherial gear (doesn't exist after 49) and purple is relics
500 tomes is not nearly enough for any set
yikes
are you talking about revelation or poetics?
a full set is like 4k or something
!faq poetics
spend what you have on augmented ironworks gear; it's the best gear available at level 50.
Will do, thanks for the tip
it says in the curreny section resets in 30 hrs. Does that mean I lose all my tomes then/
that's in regards to the lvl 80 weekly capped tomestone
^
Are there any tricks to some how not hitting the gold cap, or "banking" your gold as a trial? I am planning on leveling a few jobs up to 60 to see which ones feel good before I sub (I already bought the game when it was on sale, but haven't activated it yet), but thought it was silly to start burning sub time before I decide what I want to play.
Anyone know if there's a setting to prevent the camera from automatically going behind me when I move?
u cant bank gil as trail
use standard controls
I thought I was using standard controls
The only thing I have thought of this far is buying a lot of Chocobo Greens lol
if you dont strafe when pressing a and d then youre not on standard controls
the base ones start out as turning with A and D, but I changed those when I started. I think I found the thing though, "Standard Type Camera Auto-Adjustment" and selected "Never"
Works just as I hoped 😄
How do you find mentors as a new player? seen something about it at the start of the game
the xp boost isnt worth it
What does the message “you sense the presence of a powerful mark” mean? Is this a thing for the hunt or whatever?
yes
you just sorta find them as you go into instance or in cities, but generally mentor is not indicative of them actually willing to teach
novice network as well although that is regarded as not generally productive by many
If I make a cat girl can I find a sugar simp easily? /s
i personally found more help from asking in questions channels than anything in-game frankly
what a question
what are u trying to imply? that we all do that and we know 
Sorry wrong channel
I thought all catgirls were guys?
Please don’t post gifs and large meme images in this channel
not really, a lot of girls also play male characters
Are the Relic Reborn quests worth doing for the weapons? I saw the I lvl was only 80 which seemed low
Sry
it is really low, it's for glam
Deleted it
No worry
relic weapons except the shb ones are for glamour
ShB weapon is currently the best weapon in game. It will also become glamour in November
not for the stats, but worth it if you like the looks
if you are a fresh 50, come back when you are lvl 80
how do u make friends to help u level BLU to 70
its alot easier that way
ask your FC if you have one
Yeah, not recommended to grind a relic before 80
most of my fc hasent even hit 80 yet
Ohh ok thanks
as long as they can oneshot lvl 69 mobs, its fine
Find those ones who are 80 in your FC lol
@ripe hound u mean the ones who are always offline 
But yeah, generally just find a friend
Well yes understandably so, due to the buff nature of some of those male characters. But would this not mean the same for those little catgirls being played by male payers for the 'aesthetic'
everyone hates me so i cant find a friend
@fading auroraI will be ur friend
@fading auroraI hate everyone too!
But yeah, in general gender in the game rarely have any correlation to gender irl.
Female Catgirl players al definitely majority male, but no idea how majority... like 60%? 70%? 90%?
more like 98%
Maybe, no idea
there are hardly any guys playing males because a female character is better to look at while fighting
not really
mostly probs do it for rp
Well there are still quite a lot of male player playing males
this isn't really the place to discuss this
@ripe houndI play a Male Roegadyn, you know, since I am a WoW elitest that just came to FF14 and of course alpha AF! lol
plenty of people play their own gender and plenty of people dont
i mean it was part of the question 
and plenty of people play both genders
not every question is for this channel
can you level blue mage solo without anyone
yes
Yeah, I think maybe slightly more than half of players play opposite sex characters.
Ok I will stop
1,340 votes and 145 comments so far on Reddit
will it take like 10 hrs more than with someone else
no
Yeah, I think so
Hun?
That’s surprising
Is there a guide for data center selection for new players?
!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
I thought solo leveling BLU takes at least 20 hours, and Powerlevel takes at most 5?
ty
5? ive seen people post videos of them taking 1 hour from 0-60 then 15 mins from 60 to 70
Yeah, probably
Power level takes like 2 hours 1-70
And I’m fairly certain solo Blue is quite a long grind
Like, people who did it all agreed they don’t want to do it again
gonna have to go to uldah and bribe a person to come kill stuff for me
does blu start with any skills
That is a good question, I have heard about Blue Mage, and I have heard its not usable in a lot of content? What is it for?
Yeah, water shot something something
side content
Water cannon I think is the name
Yeah
So a class purely for solo play?
no
in arr, did no classes have gauges?
its for specific content
@boreal stormhow much would u ask for to help me boost a blu since u are in the same date center as me
In ARR and HW, there wasn’t gauges during those expansions
UI gauges were added with Stormblood
so what were they before the UI thing?
Quite a lot of jobs unlock gauges now at lv1 lol
Magic
i see that scholar has a buff representing a gauge
As in, Aetherflow was just a buff
Can blue mage raid?
some raids
What does the reward at the bottom mean? I didn't roll for any gear on my run this week
clusters and coin
Yes, anything 1-70
For new players, you reckon it's worth doing all the various side quests, or should I stick to just the main scenario quest and only a few side-quests?
Blue mage is so confusing... lol
Not worth for loot and exp
its recommended to focus on the msq and 
though you can skip blue quests that are called "So you want to be x" and "leves of x"
complete side quest if you are masochist
@strong lark think of it as a mimic class, once it sees a skill it can do it, if it were to do normal content it would solo nuke stuff by itself, so its always 10 levels behind on cap
as a new player, am I able to join the festival thingie?
its just too op
Also I think ARR relic is a blue quest... don’t do that
aight, thanks! 😄
@frosty tusk its ending in a few hours
Ive been playing for 2 weeks and I have no idea how to join it
You can join most of them, but this event ends too soon
if u want to reach level 80 in 5 years do every quest lol
No worry
Was that replying to me? Idk what that means either way
you do the content that rewards tomes
you didn't miss anything dw about
Basically by not rolling loot, you get 1 Coin and 1 cluster a week
You can go back in and grab a new loot
But you can’t grab coin and cluster anymore
Ah. I can roll need on my class loot if I go into there again?
I heard from a friend he couldnt roll need going in a 2nd time, only greed
you always get the coin and cluster at the end of your first run of paradigm
once you obtain a piece of gear you cant roll for anything
Yes, you can roll
That would make sense
didn't think it was normal he could greed but not need on his class pieces
Hello.
I have a few questions regarding spiritbondng:
-
Which lvl gear should I spiritbond to get Grade 3 materia?
-
Are there any optimal dungeons / strategies to speed up the spiritbonding process?
ilvl 45-90 gear iirc for grade 3
What’s the name of the cane of the official conjuror artwork? I want to post the photo but I don’t know if it’s allowed

what is the boss theme in DR (not the queen one)
Howdy howdy. Just joined the game a handful of days ago and am enjoying it quite a bit. I'm curious though; Is there a fastest-to-level class to help me go through the story content easier?
play either a tank or a healer
Nope, story is mandatory
That's not what I meant Akira. I meant like... For example, what class kills the fastest to get me through the content fastest.
because story = queue into dungeon = healer/tank has better queue
doesnt matter
I guess those are two different questions huh lol
regular story mobs die in a few seconds no matter what class you play
Hmm. Should I not be bothering with side quests then?
Yeah, then it’s Tank/Healer for fast dungeon queue
are worthless
I've been doing lots of running around, hitting every side quest in sight.
Is it true that new players can switch worlds within 90 days after joining one as a new account
If it’s blue do it
They don’t give anything other than story
and
are what you should be doing
if you want a class that mow monsters one after one, I suggest Machinist or Ninja. These classes have snappy skills that don't require set-up to deal instant burst damage
@spare plinth Alkalurops
Like local lore type stuff?
Ye
yep
Gotcha.
Yeah, I started as thaumaturge and while I like it... If I get in over my head, I might as well just walk away because I can't save myself lol
@valid raptor no, you need to wait 90 days if you started on a preferred world
Whereas with conj, i kill a little slower but I can just heal myself. So I guess it's a balance and down to playstyle?
@remote lintel Oh okay, so after the 90 days would u be able to transfer to anothre one for free?
Ah I see ty
Would you recommend for a new player to start on a preferred world or congested world? I plan on playing solo but wouldn't mind making some friends along the way
you can't start on congested
but since everything is cross DC
you odnt need to worry
preferred worlds give an exp boost but its mostly for leveling multiple classes
there is no congested worlds at the moment anyway
nah. THM is one of the worst classes to solo stuff in the early, CNJ is just way better
I have a male miqo'te and I'm wondering why doesn't the aesthetician have any beard options?
because beards are directly tied to face and some faces don't ahve them
not all miqo faces have beards
Oh, I've also heard that Arcanist/Summoner are in a bad spot right now. Complex rotation and underperforming. Is that accurate?
it sucks
no
no
the rotation itself really isn't that complex
its just long
!faq meta
i would argue it's unintuitive but it's not , like, super duper difficulty as some people conflate it to be
all classes are balanced at lvl 80
Thanks
ahh that sucks about the face feature thanks for the help tho
Alright, well let me ask this then; Is the effort you put in rewarded, or is it just like... More work for about the same as other classes can do? I'm curious about a summoner class, and the idea of being able to level two classes from the start sounds nice.
more effort more reward
Gotcha.
but simple classes can also put our great damage
but then again dps charts dont really say much
MCH is on the easier side yet i top DPS almost all groups im in
bc i know the rotation and align with buffs
player skill usually closes any gaps in DPS differences. even then in a vacuum no class is so unbelievably bad that they're not worth running
play what looks fun. you said SMN looks fun, so go for it
!faq metameme
some people consider BRD the worst DPS and it was part of the world first clear of the hardest fight in the game at that time
most likely you will play better on a job whose aesthetic you like too
and thats the more important part
is it a known issue that there's connection bugs or is it just me
primal has been having issues today
How long do i gotta be playing to get to heavensward?
I heard FFXIV gets really good at heavensward
k ty
what about aether?
I also seem to have issues on aether too
60 ish hours
@regal frost its only good because of a realm reborn
Oh, another question about classes. I started with THM because the idea of being a casty mage with big boom spells sounded fun, but so far it's mostly single target pew pews and my aoe's do virtually nothing. Does BLM get better?
yep
your aoes dont do nothing
BLM changes drastically every 10 levels or so, lmao.
10 damage vs 60 is kind of a big difference
It’s not something that feels like the endgame class ‘till Lv72 or so.
thats 10 potency to every enemy you hit
also not including the other side content you need to do for HW, so thats another... 7 or s0 hours?
not too bad
Maybe I've got the wrong perspective then. Care to explain?
If you’re bored, you may as well level it later, but BLM gains powerful AoE’s later on.
also the black mage aoes are 50/80 potency for blizzard and fire
anyone had one of these appear in a low level zone and just delete you?
early BLM aoe sucks
Jesus man
70 hours?
I dunno, it feels weak and pointless to use
but later it gets a lot better
you should be using aoe at 3+ enemies
correct, and then theres the remeaining MSQ before endgame. this is a JRPG
Like, I could spend the time dealing 10 damage to the enemies around me, or I can use the same time to do 60+ and kill them faster while taking less damage lol
Whew. I think Intel's bluetooth update mostly fixed my disconnect issues
Still had one y-day, but none today
(That AoE tip goes for all classes, not just BLM.)
it’s far more effective to use aoe
aoe gets used a lot more in dungeons
Yeah I should've known lol
I dunno, maybe it's different if I'm not being focused lol
yep, now you know. its a fuckton, but 1000% worth it
imo
Oh I hope so
but just solo int he world, I'm gonna get melted long before i kill my targets if I use Ice 2
granted im level.. 14?
in dungeons, theres a tank, so you won't be focused at all
If they do their job
For overworld, single spells can be better, especially since your pulls will be disorganized.
open world combat isn't very important after ARR
Especially when I can just sleep everything for 30 seconds and burst down each target before they have a chance to lay a finger on me lol
open world combat is pretty much irrelevant
people take sleep off their hotbar after that
Hmm.
Ye, dungeon runs focus on efficiency and DPS output, which is why folks advise using AoE’s. You can play the way you want in overworld.
again. THM sucks since it's so squsihy early on
Sleep isn’t too useful, but it has niche uses.
but you've barely played the game yet
Bind however
I like Sleep for when I do something stupid like taking on a boss alone. I can sleep it and chug potions lmao
lvl 50 is still earlygame
sleep is useless after ARR
That's disappointing to hear
So the level 5 weaver quests .. it wants a hempen breeches, 3 of them. It is the hempen breeches of crafting, right ? I crafted 3 but the quest isnt done ...
Well, I once had a BLM sleeping stuff in a Lv80 dungeon after our tank DC’ed.
It worked out, LOL.
Also don't neglect the fact that DoTs don't wake up sleeping enemies
i took sleep off my hotbar and never used it, and was fine the whole time
so you could theoretically apply an aoe DoT if such a thing exists, then sleep them and focus one target at a time if absolutely necessary.
At least, thunder's DoT doesn't.
thunder 2
The dot will wake them up
Delicious
theres literally an aoe dot
say nothing of thunder 4
If it doesn’t specify “of crafting”, you made the wrong ones
Thunder 1's dot does not wake them. I've tested it numerous times. Maybe other spells do.
no. its hempen breeches
any damage wakes up enemies. hence why it’s pretty useless.
I think they’re referring to DoT’s already on the target.
hempen breeches of crafting is a different item altogether
Yeah, you apply the dot first, then sleep
It's the initial damage of the cast that would wake them.
!item hempen breeches
!item hempen breeches of crafting
Sleep isn’t too useful endgame, but it’s a good instinct to look into your toolkit. It’s just that you might get disappointed later on. FFXIV low-level play isn’t too engaging.
Ah, okay okay i found it ! Thanky ou!
BLM in particular scraps and modifies its rotation quite a bit, so that can be frustrating.
FFXIV low-level play isn’t too engaging.
you can say that again. I almost quit on day 1 because it was so agonizingly boring, but as I got more skills and started understanding my kit and the game's mechanics as a whole, it became more enjoyable.
you're gonna love endgame
Initially it felt like a very basic hotkey MMO.
BLM has some of the best movement options
the bait of this game is for FF players, not MMO players
hence why its so basic
and so story focused
Well. I’d argue that SMN and RDM have better movement options overall. But ye, BLM’s challenge endgame is finding ways to maximize your uptime (i.e., time spent casting) while squeezing in movement.
Well what I mean is it felt like a boring MMO rather than an FF game at first. but I started to understand it better and actually enjoy the gameplay now.
black mage has better movement than red mage
RDM's movement is dreadful
blm has way more movement skills
They can insta-cast every other spell.
rdm's movement is not on demand
BLM has more options, but needs to stay still otherwise. RD, has 1 in 1 out
blm can get like 7 gcds of instant casts if they plan it right
BLM can have 7 insta cast in a row
you need to take a movement to cast in order to move
that can be planned waay ahead
its semantics
So I'm gonna bench THM for now. I just gotta figure out what class to main lol. I want something bursty, but also preferably something that won't just crumple with zero ability to escape or recover from the situation if it takes on one too many targets etc.
on demand movement is much more important
Yeah, but you should not be using all 7 in a row. But to each their own.
no you shouldnt but you can use however many you want on command
rdm only works if you can get the first spell off in the first place
otherwise youre fucked
Archer is tits
MNK is pretty speedy and more tanky, ARC can kite, MRD is a super basic tank but fuck can it burst
Tits good or tits bad? 🤔
At endgame, BLM is generally considered much more mobile than RDM.
I just run around and kit giant packs lol
BLM is mobile where it matters.
RDM can drift around with impunity but it can't move long distances for mechanics on-demand
What about rogue? I literally only discovered its existence from this chat so I know nothing about it
not burstly until late in the game
i wouldnt say mnk is bursty
if you are still THM, endgame and any real bursty action is still very far away so just play whatever you want
what IS bursty at earlygame?
NIN.
also overworld instances dont matter
Lancer seems kinda bursty but it also requires combos to do so
in dungeons you shouldnt need to escape from a bunch of enemies
They matter to me since that's the content I'm currently doing >>;
yes most classes in this game require combos
I'm not at end-game, so thinking in end-game terms is pointless
thats how it works
BLM isn’t bursty. It has strong spells, but it casts those strong spells consistently. Even when you’re on LL, you’re not going to get burst phases unless you’re Crit build potting. And even then, that’s going to be below melee DPS burst phases.
you want to level the class to 80 though dont you?
all classes combo, blm doesn't get theres until lvl 60
All jobs require effective execution of their rotation in order to perform well, of course.
with B4 and F4
Does BLM do DPS during Ice Phase?
Ye. Just less.
ice phase does damage yes?
I do, but answering my question from the perspective of "well at 80 you can X" when I'm asking about 'what can I do at levels 1-10" is not helpful. It doesn't correlate to my question what-so-ever.
you're still doing attacks
Or is Ice Phase just really short at lv 80?
no class can do much at 1-10
Mmhmm. You try to get through it in 3 GCD’s for the average rotation. 2 if the mana tick is good.
if you're about to overcap probably
If you’re doing the nonstandard rotation, yes.
Xeno is pretty floaty
and most classes wont be totally complete until like the 70s
but otherwise you wanna save it for party bursts
If not, no. Because xenoglossy’s output is higher during fire phase.
at 1-10 you have 2, maybe 3 abilities.
Right, but you're saying "Level 10 content doesn't matter" when I'm at level 10 lol
You use it in place of Thunder during ice if you don’t need to refresh it, to ensure you get the MP tick
When DO you use Xeno anyway? I save it for after Despair since its free timer anyway.
It’s a bit hard to explain, but no, not much classes can do much around lv 1-10
xeno is flat regardless of ice/fire

that's horrible
