Heavensward raid series
outer mural
raids are basically just
faint flare
The 8man raid for heavensward
faint flare
Each era has a 8mab and a 24man raid series
outer mural
they're not bad despite the name, they are just an extended series of trials in normal mode
different story for savage but eh get there when u get there
leaden ginkgo
So every expansion have their raid tier with different diffs and mangroups?
ripe hound
Also I still wish it wasn't called "Savage" but something like "Type Zero"
ripe hound
"Savage" just sounds so... savage
leaden ginkgo
Whats the hardest you can do with diff?
warm snow
Whats the hardest you can do with diff?
Ultimates
faint flare
Except coils, all 8man raids have normal and Savage
warm snow
Super hard 8 man raids
faint flare
Savage is the standard high end raids
warm snow
There's only 3 so far
faint flare
Ultimates are special
faint flare
They make savage look easy
boreal storm
They require precise positions and movements
barren turtle
ultimates are some of the hardest raids, not only in ffxiv but in mmos in general
ripe hound
Ultimates are the...Ultimate?
They are basically designed to burn the average player about 2-5 months
boreal storm
If someone fucks up, it’s a wipe
faint flare
For the most part
warm snow
Your reward is a fancy title and a fancy looking weapon
faint flare
It depends where
ripe hound
wdym optional I want my PLD UWU weapon 
leaden ginkgo
SHOW ME THE PLD UWU WEAPON
warm snow
Ultimates are the...Ultimate?
So difficulty goes
Ultimates >> savage raids >>> extreme trials >> everything else
barren turtle
extreme/unreal are the same difficulty
faint flare
barren turtle
But these look like a 500 hour grind
its about that amount to prog the fights
leaden ginkgo
Oh god
ripe hound
But these look like a 500 hour grind
About 4-8 hours a week for 12-24 weeks
past flax
5.57 will unlock savage drops?
faint flare
Unless you get the insane God tier lucky pull
barren turtle
Either this patch or the next
leaden ginkgo
Looking good is the hardest grind i see 😔
faint flare
And you transcend boundriee
ripe hound
But these look like a 500 hour grind
Or 20 min if you are "good"
warm snow
Looking good is the hardest grind i see 😔
Glamour is the true endgame

ripe hound
Sometimes people around here really have that Feo Ul energy
barren turtle
you can get to 80 in like 5 hours
faint flare
More like 8 bours
barren turtle
yes, you can get reaper in EA
warm snow
will it release on day 1 of the expansion?
It'll release with early access
faint flare
People with early access get it on the 19th
leaden ginkgo
it took me 2 days to lvl 50 😔
warm edge
just got back into game, did the addition of Zadnor change DR at all?
inland quarry
People with early access get it on the 19th

Yeah but that's with msq
faint flare
Yes
barren turtle
just got back into game, did the addition of Zadnor change DR at all?
faster
leaden ginkgo
XDD
faint flare
just got back into game, did the addition of Zadnor change DR at all?
Normal, only abit faster due to honours
ripe hound
Yeah MSQ is slower
barren turtle
Normal, only abit faster due to honours
its faster because of the new actions as well
ripe hound
Grinding a lv 1 to 50 without MSQ... usually take about 2 days of 6 hours a day?
faint flare
its faster because of the new actions as well
Bold of you to assume people use those 
barren turtle
in speedruns they do

which is better to farm timeworn memories ? POTD or Delibrum ?

Can you grind from 1 to 50 in less than 12 hours?
warm edge
is there a new guide that anyone has that talks about the new ones to use?
outer mural
just got back into game, did the addition of Zadnor change DR at all?
the stat boosts but that's about it
warm snow
Zadnor let's you trade 20 million mettle for "permanent" dmg/healing/hp buffs in bozja areas.
barren turtle
which is better to farm timeworn memories ? POTD or Delibrum ?
PoTD floor 150+ with people who know what they're doing
otherwise DR speedruns
past flax
if you get the last mission for raw emotions and the one for artifacts you can farm 2 at once
ripe hound
which is better to farm timeworn memories ? POTD or Delibrum ?

2-3 during msq is very efficient

One expansion every 2 years with content patches every 2-3 months in between expansions

Does zadnor give more EXP compared to BSF?
faint flare
Identical

Does zadnor give more EXP compared to BSF?

barren turtle
Oh I know that
I'm just guessing its gonna be faster because of the amount of skirms/ces
outer mural
yeah exp is identical because the actual range in which you can play either is the same

it really isn't
it does the same damage as the other tanks
it just has a faster DPS-like rotation

White scrip can be a stepping stone
gaunt hinge
White scrip can be a stepping stone
But would it be required or i can skip that step? I know it's probably a though question.
little swift
You can skip it
If you have money
To buy aesthete pieces straight up
But exarchic isn't as valuable as before now so you might have to craft a lot more to see returns on this investment
That said, we're still 5 months out from endwalker so you got lots of time to do that
robust crow
prob too late for that bandwagon lol
little swift
Mhmm
Definitely have to find other avenues to make a return
In which most can probably be done without aesthete
gaunt hinge
Buying the piece is not an option. I barely have 2 millions and i'm not wasting it on something i can craft myself.
robust crow
errr
2 million can buy a full set lol
it's not 2 million for 1 piece
most people only buy a few pieces and supplement the rest of their gear with revelations gear or free gear from e9-12
and you're gonna spend a hell of a lot more than 2m to fully pentameld an aesthete's set anyway
depending on your luck
not sure you got your ducks in a row here

or just grind zadnor and get 525 left side for free then worry about accesories

racing question - if I go for 500 speed and 500 endurance, will I have troubles with excessive stamina loose at max regular speed ? should I leave speed at about 400 instead ?
green grail
i doubt anyone will be able to answer since like less than 1% of players play chocobo racing, even less bother with optimizing it
twilit arch
iirc most people go for max speed and stamina
granted its been a long while, but i think tho speed doesn't necessarily need to be maxed out
can reach like around 300~ and be fine
endurance/stamina and I think cunning? are the important ones to max out

Hi I'm new and still trying the game out

I would just like to ask what version of the game should i purchase after the free trial?
raven star
Shadowbringers complete edition, comes with both expansions

Buy weapons and desyth for items you can sell on the MB.

Shields are the most efficient option since they only cost 3 totems

Also i just built this pc, 5950x with a 3070 and 980 pro ssds. Im getting alot of lag after alt tabbing from full screen and in the loading menu of shadowbringers. Is this a normal problem or should i reinstall the game?
slate arrow
Are you using exclusive fullscreen or windowed
Because FFXIV runs on DX11 you don't have instant swap between apps in exclusive fullscreen
It's just one of those old DX things they can't really do away with
DX11
Fucking autocorrect

Exclusive Full screen

Most people use windowed borderless anyways due to ACT

@halcyon tulipthanks ill try that

Borderless or windowed fixes 90% of issues
You have a better setup than mine but you said you have lag
Which is why I found it odd

You can uncap your fps

I see

Performance might dip extremely slightly in borderless
inland quarry
"extremely slightly"
patent citrus
uhh I have to redo my UI lol
cause i used to play windowed
but I get what you mean by "extremely convenient"
inland quarry
uhh I have to redo my UI lol
i hate doing UI in this game. i usually go in to change the size of an icon and leave 4 hours later with a new hud and completely new keybinds
open ember
That shouldn't happen
ripe hound
But yeah, I personally really hate when reviewers use FPS drop and increase to describe performance
Like, “disable this setting to get 5 more FPS”
wdym 5 FPS
Is it like, 144 to 149, or 20, 25?
inland quarry
wdym 5 FPS
the biggest difference in gameplay humanity has ever seen
ripe hound
Or 1 FPS to 6 FPS?
open ember
It only makes a difference if your monitor has a high enough refresh rate
ripe hound
Like 1 FPS and 6 FPS is like, fundamentally different
inland quarry

Cries is Anime being mostly 8 FPS
is it really?
ripe hound
And the 8 FPS is usually made with 2 different frames played back to back in loops
ripe hound
is it really?
Yeah, during downtime in Anime it’s usually only around 8 drawn frames per second.
The video is 24 FPS tho
In more expensive anime combat scenes, it can go up to 12 unique frames drawn per second
But that’s about it
inland quarry
that's why 60 fps anime looks weird as shit...

Is this the place to ask dumb questions? Is there a limit to how many crafting guilds you can join and do quests for/crafting jobs you can level? Is it like normal jobs where you can level them all on a single character. I'm referring to Cooking/Armorer stuff by crafting guilds/jobs. I'm just wondering if I need to be selective or I can just do them all.
open ember
There's no such thing as a dumb question
Also no limit
You can play every class in this game
On a singular character
Including crafters and gatherers
dense pebble
is there like a site i can go to that gives a good breakdown of each jobs?
so i can pick which one suits me the best
leaden ginkgo
what does tank buster means
open ember
A direct attack on the tank only
Usually hits really hard
And only tanks can take all that dmg
leaden ginkgo
like he's the one who take most dmg ?
oak ice
Most likely kills any non tank in current content
leaden ginkgo
and the other tank is just nothing ?
open ember
If they are not the main tank then no
In some duties the tankbuster can affect other tanks
For example in Orbonne Monastery, one of the bosses has a tank buster that affects all tanks
A few other duties are similar
However most of the time it's one tank taking a tank buster
outer mural
sometimes you're forced to swap tanks because certain tankbusters are so powerful
leaden ginkgo
What are the best crafting jobs to start with? So many it's overwhelming
outer mural
e10s has a mechanic where you need to swap at the right time or else the tank just atkes it to the fcae and dies
faint flare
What are the best crafting jobs to start with? So many it's overwhelming
All at once
outer mural
What are the best crafting jobs to start with? So many it's overwhelming
all of them at the same time, they all function the same
they just craft diferent stuff
faint flare
Do 5-10 levels each
sage mirage
What are the best crafting jobs to start with? So many it's overwhelming
Start with the ones in your starting town, and do what you want from there
Also, don't try to craft 100 bronze ingots or something to level up, you unlock much faster ways to level crafting jobs later

Regarding Que times.... Are all DPS classes share the same slot? Or the system tries even out the types of the DPS composition? Meaning if there are tons of melee dps waiting and very few casters or ranged physical, then melee has longer que times than the other 2 and etc.
faint flare
Yes they are
sage mirage
The best way to lower your queue time is to queue with a healer or tank in your party
devout crystal
So que times varies among the dps classes also?
outer mural
it will try but generally doesn't prohibit entry if it's taking too long
not necessarily, i'm sure it tries but it doesn't like
stop the queue if possible
faint flare
Dps ques are all the same
leaden ginkgo
I am queueing 30 min as tank in hard dungeons if you want to queue instant pick a healer cuz thats what all are waiting for literally 90% of the time
outer mural
i'e had 5 red mages in level 80 alliance raids

Do I level them all at the same time? I mean, I don't mind leveling them all, but at the same time that might be a little overwhelming for me.

Healer shortage will be gone with the E.W. lol
outer mural
they are identical besides themeing and waht they make

You can focus on one, or level them all. Most of them are somewhat interconnected, so you might just end up doing them all eventually

Half the population will be a new healer and a new melee dps once endwalker releases.
leaden ginkgo
I thought tank was short in hand but damn literally no one plays a healer
why is that
Are healer classes that boring?
obsidian patio
Because people don’t like visible responsibility
sage mirage
I prefer healer, usually for low queue times, lol
devout crystal
Ff14 tank is easier imo.
sage mirage
DPS is pretty boring in comparison too, haven't tried tanking at all yet

Most people go for DPS since it’s generally the thought line of “ I just need to do damage”

it depends on geographic location too, so demons of the incunable that spawn in one can only spawn specific fates
