No cause they're not needed

remote lintel
#

the only aggro skills you need are provoke and shirk for tank swaps

#

any attack you do with tank stance on gives aggro

faint flare
#

Again. Iron will gives EVERY SINGLE SKILL you use a 10x aggro multipler

flint pollen
#

shirk ?

remote lintel
#

!action shirk

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Shirk** : lvl 48 GLA MRD PLD WAR DRK GNB (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Diverts 25% of enmity to target party member.

It's a role skill

flint pollen

#

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?

remote lintel
#

which platform did you buy it on

fossil helm
#

PC

remote lintel
#

steam or windows

#

is the platform

flint pollen
#

i use steam to launch but just your id and what ever device that you are linked too

fossil helm
#

windows I believe - dont think it was on steam at the time?

hallow wolf
#

Steam and the website have individual ones yeah

faint flare
#

If you didn't buy on steam you can't use steam

remote lintel
#

then you cant use the steam launcher

#

you have to use windows

fossil helm
#

Gotcha, thanks!

faint flare
#

Steam and pc fill the same licence slot

flint pollen
#

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

fossil helm
#

^ yes :) thanks

Levequests are a fantastic way to level crafters. They’re on par with Firmament crafts.

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

#

Oh wow so i can play in any region !

flint pollen
#

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

as for getting exp for classes outside, you still get exp regardless

so I can continue even tho I am level 60 outside?

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)

obsidian patio
#

Only healers have their own dedicated discord like Akh Morning (Fey’s Temperance)

#

The rest of the jobs use the balance AFAIK

faint flare
#

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

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?

just instead of shirk you provoke during a tank swap :3

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"

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

#

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.

faint flare
#

If you're cycling Cooldowns with hallowed then the rest is on your dps and healers

analog gate
#

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

shell fossil
#

I think my gear is ok. Just started Heavensward and bought the level 60 gear in ishgard

remote lintel
#

some dungeons just shouldnt be w2w pulled

faint flare
#

If it's normal quality vendor gear then it's pretty bad

shell fossil
#

Oh

faint flare
#

Basically never buy vendor gear

shell fossil
#

I see lol

remote lintel
#

you should have ironworks gear

faint flare
#

It's significant less stats

#

Than other equal level items

remote lintel
#

from mor dhona

analog gate
#

MSQ should give you decent gear at least for your first job

faint flare
#

The HQ gear from story will probably be better as it gets like 54 or so

shell fossil
#

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 (hq) i255 gear on the marketboard

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

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?

jade quartz
whole wasp
#

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

jade quartz

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?

boreal storm

conjurer is a healer, the other 2 are dps

so yeah

jade quartz

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

Arcanist is a caster dps that can branch off into both a dps job and a healer job at level 30.

Thauma is the big boom spellcaster. Arcanist>Summoner is a spellcaster with a pet

You don't really need to unlock every levequest issuer either unless you really want to.

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.

outer mural

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

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.

u trade them for gear

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?

if you click on the gil icon in the bottom right. you can see the various currency

colour gives you a general idea of where its from for the most part

leaden ginkgo

Oh i apparently have 500 tomes is enough for a set?

fading aurora

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

spend what you have on augmented ironworks gear; it's the best gear available at level 50.

good enough up to 55-ish then you just wear dungeon gear

Is there a guide for data center selection for new players?

remote lintel
#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

I thought solo leveling BLU takes at least 20 hours, and Powerlevel takes at most 5?

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

its recommended to focus on the msq and bluequest

though you can skip blue quests that are called "So you want to be x" and "leves of x"

pallid bluff
#

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

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

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

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.

its one of the top dps in personal dps

tied with samurai and black mage

more effort more reward

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

How long do i gotta be playing to get to heavensward?
I heard FFXIV gets really good at heavensward

keen fable
#

what about aether?

#

I also seem to have issues on aether too

remote lintel
#

@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?

remote lintel
#

your aoes dont do nothing

hard parrot
#

BLM changes drastically every 10 levels or so, lmao.

charred rune
hard parrot
#

It’s not something that feels like the endgame class ‘till Lv72 or so.

remote lintel
#

thats 10 potency to every enemy you hit

modest igloo
#

not too bad

charred rune
#

Maybe I've got the wrong perspective then. Care to explain?

hard parrot
#

If you’re bored, you may as well level it later, but BLM gains powerful AoE’s later on.

remote lintel
#

also the black mage aoes are 50/80 potency for blizzard and fire

fossil cloud
#

anyone had one of these appear in a low level zone and just delete you?

modest igloo
#

early BLM aoe sucks

charred rune
#

I dunno, it feels weak and pointless to use

modest igloo
#

but later it gets a lot better

remote lintel
#

you should be using aoe at 3+ enemies

modest igloo
charred rune
#

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

celest coral
#

Whew. I think Intel's bluetooth update mostly fixed my disconnect issues

#

Still had one y-day, but none today

hard parrot
#

(That AoE tip goes for all classes, not just BLM.)

remote lintel
#

50 times 3 is already 150 potency

#

240 potency if you use fire 2

heavy wadi
modest igloo
#

aoe gets used a lot more in dungeons

regal frost
charred rune
#

I dunno, maybe it's different if I'm not being focused lol

modest igloo
#

imo

regal frost
charred rune
#

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?

#

If they do their job

hard parrot
#

For overworld, single spells can be better, especially since your pulls will be disorganized.

charred rune
#

Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

#

They feel really pointless in open world

modest igloo
#

open world combat isn't very important after ARR

charred rune
#

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

heavy wadi
#

open world combat is pretty much irrelevant

modest igloo
#

people take sleep off their hotbar after that

charred rune
#

Hmm.

hard parrot
#

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.

modest igloo
#

again. THM sucks since it's so squsihy early on

hard parrot
#

Sleep isn’t too useful, but it has niche uses.

modest igloo
#

but you've barely played the game yet

boreal storm
#

Bind however

charred rune
#

I like Sleep for when I do something stupid like taking on a boss alone. I can sleep it and chug potions lmao

modest igloo
#

lvl 50 is still earlygame

heavy wadi
#

sleep is useless after ARR

charred rune
#

That's disappointing to hear

untold vine
#

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 ...

hard parrot
#

Well, I once had a BLM sleeping stuff in a Lv80 dungeon after our tank DC’ed.

#

It worked out, LOL.

charred rune
#

Also don't neglect the fact that DoTs don't wake up sleeping enemies

modest igloo
#

i took sleep off my hotbar and never used it, and was fine the whole time

charred rune
#

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.

twilit arch
#

The dot will wake them up

charred rune
#

Delicious

remote lintel
#

theres literally an aoe dot

modest igloo
#

say nothing of thunder 4

boreal storm
charred rune
#

Thunder 1's dot does not wake them. I've tested it numerous times. Maybe other spells do.

heavy wadi
#

any damage wakes up enemies. hence why it’s pretty useless.

hard parrot
#

I think they’re referring to DoT’s already on the target.

whole wasp
#

hempen breeches of crafting is a different item altogether

charred rune
#

Yeah, you apply the dot first, then sleep

#

It's the initial damage of the cast that would wake them.

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.

untold vine
hard parrot
#

BLM in particular scraps and modifies its rotation quite a bit, so that can be frustrating.

charred rune
#

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.

modest igloo
#

you're gonna love endgame

charred rune
#

Initially it felt like a very basic hotkey MMO.

modest igloo
#

BLM has some of the best movement options

modest igloo
#

hence why its so basic

#

and so story focused

hard parrot
#

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.

charred rune
#

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.

remote lintel
#

black mage has better movement than red mage

honest anvil
#

RDM's movement is dreadful

remote lintel
#

blm has way more movement skills

hard parrot
#

They can insta-cast every other spell.

twilit arch
#

rdm's movement is not on demand

modest igloo
#

BLM has more options, but needs to stay still otherwise. RD, has 1 in 1 out

remote lintel
#

blm can get like 7 gcds of instant casts if they plan it right

honest anvil
#

BLM can have 7 insta cast in a row

twilit arch
#

you need to take a movement to cast in order to move

honest anvil
#

that can be planned waay ahead

modest igloo
#

its semantics

charred rune
#

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.

twilit arch
#

on demand movement is much more important

hard parrot
#

Yeah, but you should not be using all 7 in a row. But to each their own.

remote lintel
#

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

strong lark
#

Archer is tits

modest igloo
charred rune
#

Tits good or tits bad? 🤔

jade quartz
#

At endgame, BLM is generally considered much more mobile than RDM.

strong lark
#

I just run around and kit giant packs lol

jade quartz
#

BLM is mobile where it matters.

#

RDM can drift around with impunity but it can't move long distances for mechanics on-demand

charred rune
modest igloo
remote lintel
#

i wouldnt say mnk is bursty

honest anvil
modest igloo
#

what IS bursty at earlygame?

hard parrot
#

NIN.

remote lintel
#

also overworld instances dont matter

charred rune
#

Lancer seems kinda bursty but it also requires combos to do so

remote lintel
#

in dungeons you shouldnt need to escape from a bunch of enemies

charred rune
#

They matter to me since that's the content I'm currently doing >>;

remote lintel
#

yes most classes in this game require combos

charred rune
#

I'm not at end-game, so thinking in end-game terms is pointless

remote lintel
#

thats how it works

hard parrot
#

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.

remote lintel
#

you want to level the class to 80 though dont you?

modest igloo
#

all classes combo, blm doesn't get theres until lvl 60

jade quartz
#

All jobs require effective execution of their rotation in order to perform well, of course.

modest igloo
#

with B4 and F4

ripe hound
#

Does BLM do DPS during Ice Phase?

hard parrot
#

Ye. Just less.

remote lintel
#

ice phase does damage yes?

charred rune
slate arrow
#

you're still doing attacks

ripe hound
#

Or is Ice Phase just really short at lv 80?

slate arrow
#

2-3 GCDs, yes

#

blizz3, thunder, blizz4, fire3

remote lintel
hard parrot
#

Mmhmm. You try to get through it in 3 GCD’s for the average rotation. 2 if the mana tick is good.

modest igloo
#

you use xeno in ice right?

#

man i know so little about 80 BLM

slate arrow
#

if you're about to overcap probably

hard parrot
#

If you’re doing the nonstandard rotation, yes.

obsidian patio
#

Xeno is pretty floaty

remote lintel
#

and most classes wont be totally complete until like the 70s

slate arrow
#

but otherwise you wanna save it for party bursts

hard parrot
#

If not, no. Because xenoglossy’s output is higher during fire phase.

heavy wadi
charred rune
#

Right, but you're saying "Level 10 content doesn't matter" when I'm at level 10 lol

obsidian patio
#

You use it in place of Thunder during ice if you don’t need to refresh it, to ensure you get the MP tick

leaden ginkgo
#

When DO you use Xeno anyway? I save it for after Despair since its free timer anyway.
