[modest igloo]

i dont think they know about jobs yet

[strange scaffold]

Does blm have any important macros? Im on mnk

[dire prawn]

No job has combat macros

[clever ether]

Are there gonna be any more Sage gameplay videos out before the xpac? Or we have to wait and see how it plays?

[boreal storm]

Macroing GCDs is a nono

[modest igloo]

there will be more yes

[dire prawn]

The macro system in XIV is intentionally designed so that any combat macros are vastly inferior to actually playing your job

[turbid pilot]

People are expecting it about a month out

[strange scaffold]

Ahh okiee

[twilit arch]

There'll be a job trailer at the very least, possible media tour

[strange scaffold]

Oh i didnt know thank you

[clever ether]

Ah so nice. This gonna be my first xpac.

[manic heath]

Oops I meant SMN

yeah I finished the second credits

The welcome to ishgard mission

Not sure how long it would take to get my marauder/warrior to 50. The road to 70 plus armoury buff is huge. I’m just doing job quests and hunting log.

[dire prawn]

With Road to 70? Two days

[manic heath]

Yeah why not then

I’m already 17

Unless I get bored I guess

[dire prawn]

Then stop doing hunt log and start doing Copperbell Mines

[manic heath]

I really just like the MSQ

[modest igloo]

Dark Knight starts at lvl 30

[dire prawn]

[spring elk]

[dire prawn]

Have you tried queuing for it?

[spring elk]

I was trying to use ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com but to no avail, this is great

[dire prawn]

Because there's a lot of new players coming over from WoW

Wait you're EU

[stuck sedge]

[gaunt sinew]

Thanks, been trying since Friday but obviously weekend, was hoping for this morning but no luck

Maybe right after the maintenance

[clever ether]

Im in some kind of a class (AST) duty for malefic 2. And im lost. Can I leave or restart it?

[cunning loom]

you can click duty info at the righthand side i think and leave

[dire prawn]

class
Job, and you can

But why would you not get Malefic II

[cunning loom]

so they can restart it since they got lost?

[clever ether]

Im lost and most restart it.

I killed this heretic and now I cant find the hiding place.

[dire prawn]

Click on the quest on your right-hand side where it's displayed to pull up the menu for it and hit abandon at the bottom of that menu

You'll have to return to the person who issued the quest to pick it up again though and start over

[clever ether]

I cant abandon it :S

Can only see map

[cunning loom]

click the words duty information

[clever ether]

Cant click anything atm

[flat aspen]

Can anyone figure out my controller on PC problem? I've gone through 2 brand new controllers and still happens

[proud willow]

Fantasia is a permanent change

[drowsy maple]

[proud willow]

ah, I misunderstood

you don't lose any inventory or levels or quest progress

[drowsy maple]

sweeet ty^^

[proud willow]

Same character, new race/gender

[hot eagle]

ask a player that owns the game to invite you and your friends to a party, he can leave after it

[fast hull]

@harsh storm usually f2p ask in shout or novice network to create a party for them

[harsh storm]

I see

[leaden ginkgo]

Just wondering how to reach 30-50 on dps?

[fast hull]

For 1st job or alt job

Shifu just flat reduces your gcd recast timer so it comes back faster, so you get through your combos faster

[harsh storm]

Btw,how do i join the novice network?

[full lake]

Oh thanks

[fast hull]

@harsh storm shout at major cities Limassol, uldah, gridania and most likely a mentor will invite you

[harsh storm]

thanks

[fast hull]

Personally I choose limsa since a ton of people are there

[glacial isle]

Drowned City of Skalla, its a Stormblood duty right?

[proud willow]

yeah

[hot eagle]

yes a lvl 70 dungeon

[glacial isle]

Thx

[leaden ginkgo]

i know devs have cleared everything in this game but are there videos of them clearing ? im dying to see how they tackle their own fights and especially yoshi p since he plays blm.

[faint flare]

You might dig up a few steams or something when Yoshi goes onto a server and plays with people... Rare thing that happens

But Devs themselves, no...they keep their own characters secret

[strange notch]

Quick question what is the point of positional skills in solo play?

[random girder]

[random girder]

if theyre the same level as you its gonna be tough to fight multiple

you cant really do that

..why are you doing that in the first place actually

[obsidian patio]

At two targets the only AoE move you use is four-point fury

[strange notch]

except for jewelery everything is 45+

[white bronze]

My friend jus got the game and I invited him to my party and he was able to join but we can't see each other

[strange notch]

Yea as monk I cant fight more than 2 mobs

[faint flare]

If he literally just started he's in a solo instance thing

[strange notch]

and If quest requires me to do so I cant progress 😄

[random girder]

hmm

[white bronze]

Ok

[strange notch]

dont know if this is right in solo play as monk

[white bronze]

Yea he's level 2 arcanist

[random girder]

you should be able to kill them, idk whats going on there

[obsidian patio]

What’s your average item level, and the level of your weapon?

[faint flare]

Remember your chocobo

For overworld healing

[strange notch]

I dont use chocobo is that what I am missing?

[random girder]

also you have second wind and blood..something

use those

for healing

bloodbath

[faint flare]

Yes, use your chocobo

[white bronze]

So when will we be able to see each other?

[strange notch]

I use all of those yea except for chocobo

[faint flare]

It literally covers all overworld healing

!quest My Feisty Chocobo

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[strange notch]

so you just max healing for choco ?

[faint flare]

Yes

Only good bird

[strange notch]

where do you get those cabbage things again ?

[dire prawn]

If I'm 1 mil exp off of 72 WHM will Trials, 50/60/70 Dungeons or Daily Leveling be the quickest way to close that gap

Gysahl Greens and vendors

[fast hull]

Well you level it to be 4 healer

[strange notch]

Maybe taht is the thing I am missing

[fast hull]

So you can get chococure

[strange notch]

it feels kinda bad without it facing more than 2 mobs

[faint flare]

He enters the normal world after progressing the story slightly. Should be around where he attuned to the aetheryte. Make sure same world and all

[random girder]

leveling probably

[strange notch]

Is there a way to reset choco points ?

[random girder]

no guarantee trials will do it

[faint flare]

Yes, with Reagent peppers

[fast hull]

Reagan peppers?

[white bronze]

Yea we both on leviathan

[fast hull]

Lol

[white bronze]

Thank u

[fast hull]

Follow the reagent one

[strange notch]

I am too poor for those I think 😄

[faint flare]

They're from the grand company

Provided you ranked up

[strange notch]

I am rank 1 new to the game

[faint flare]

You can get promotions from the quartermaster/personal officer people at your grand company for seals

[strange notch]

yea I am rank 1 I have 1k seals 😄

[obsidian patio]

Then you can’t reset their skills

[strange notch]

yea

[obsidian patio]

You need to be 2nd Lieutenant.

[strange notch]

have to do with what I have, I put 2 points in attack

maybe I should just change job as monk is so bad in solo without choco ?

[obsidian patio]

Nah.

[dire prawn]

No

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

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.

[dire prawn]

If you're doing bad as Monk doing solo stuff you're probably undergeared

[undone bane]

Can anyone help or have tips to get a house for my fc?

[strange notch]

I have 43-50 on all gear doing buffs and rotations...

killing mobs lv 47

[faint flare]

Spill blood and stay awake all night

[random girder]

try using arms length

[faint flare]

And make daily Sacrifices

[random girder]

to make mobs attack slower

[undone bane]

That’s horrible lol

[faint flare]

Welcome to housing

It's a war

[undone bane]

Smh

[strange notch]

tbh I will probably change as I am planing to play solo, no point in playing monk if I have to rely of positionals regardless.

[sinful comet]

if I get shadowbringers will I be able to redeem it and will it include stormblood? I have the starter edition right now

[random girder]

yes

[sinful comet]

ok ty

[faint flare]

Leg sweep helps get positionals ontop of true north

[strange notch]

leg sweep is 3sec long, not enough when facing 3 mobs

[faint flare]

It something

Some damage reduction

[strange notch]

as I ahve to land at least 6-9 strikes to finish one mobs

[faint flare]

It gets you like 2 more

[strange notch]

I can fit 2 into leg sweep window

I still need to land like 15-18 strikes to kill 2 mobs 😄

[random girder]

cant you do 1 at a time?

[faint flare]

Throwing out feint if they're not casters also helps low key

More damage reduction

[strange notch]

Anyways people who play solo for the first time, dont play monks 😄

[random girder]

i really dont see why youre struggling

[little swift]

thats not really a true fact or anything

[random girder]

theres no reason for this to happen lol

[little swift]

you're fine to start as monk

[random girder]

never heard of this being an issue

what exact quest is this

so i can look it up

[fast hull]

Sorry but what level is your gear my alt is monk and I rarely die in overworlds

[strange notch]

If you face 2-3 48 mobs as lv 48 you are dead, that is the issue. In some cases quests throw you 3-4 mobs at once 😄

[random girder]

yes what quest is this

[fast hull]

? Do you use chocobo to heal when doing those

[random girder]

i never used chocobo when doing msq

as ninja

[strange notch]

I guess I should get better accessories, level choco and upgrade my gear to be BIS 48 lv gear

[fast hull]

Or combo your aoe with Healy fist to regain hp

[random girder]

you dont need bis gear or anything just get better accessories

or try using fists of earth

[leaden ginkgo]

i just unlocked flying but where do i get a flying mount?

[random girder]

maybe use a potion if you really have to

[random girder]

you have one

all mounts fly

[fast hull]

Every mount can fly

[strange notch]

I did, spammed potions too ...

[fast hull]

Even the standard chciken

[leaden ginkgo]

:0

[fast hull]

Just jump

[strange notch]

not enough I have 2.3k hp mobs do 150 dmg per hit

3 mobs kill me in like 10 attacks xD

[fast hull]

Jam are you wearing your level 45 job quest gear?

Or using the AV gear dungeon thing

[strange notch]

I am wearing gear I got from quests yeah, I have been doing job quests as well

[random girder]

whats your weapon item level

[strange notch]

should I spammdungeons ?

[random girder]

no, shouldnt be necessary

[strange notch]

46

[random girder]

hm

i guess get accessories

what level are yours now

vendor accessories arent very good but they should help a little

[strange notch]

do they make that much difference at this lv? I hit like 180 per hit on mobs

[random girder]

i mean if your current ones are like leve l10

they could

[strange notch]

struggle to do anything higher

[fast hull]

What you should look is your ilvl

[strange notch]

my ilvl is broght down by accessories yea

[fast hull]

When you type c and see your character what does it show

If it's 20 gonna be hard in 40 zones

[strange notch]

lv 5 rings and lv1 earrings bring it to 34

[random girder]

yeah go get new ones lol

[fast hull]

Yeah Abita on the low side

I am cheap so I just use dungeon accessories on loot

Like I spam need and greed

[random girder]

yeah but if none have dropped youll have to go get bought ones

[strange notch]

any idea wher I can quickly aquire lv 40 ish accessories?

dungeons dropped me nothing 😄

[random girder]

starting cities

[obsidian patio]

Vendors in the starting cities

[fast hull]

I am not sure if there are 40 in cities? I know I crafted pearl things at level 41

[random girder]

there are

[floral crystal]

does anyone know for the main story quest good intentions where it says 3 hard dungeons are required, does that mean i can just unlock them or do i have to actually complete them once?

[strange notch]

cities sell 29 highest ?

accessories that is

[random girder]

you have to do each one once

but they arent very hard

(hard) just means "normal trial" from now on

8 man

[leaden ginkgo]

im done with the arr at least for the pre patch stuff is there anything that i is recommended to do beforre i should continue with the patch stuff?

[fast hull]

Yeah because I remember I crafted mine and the wrist was given by my fc when I was starting out

[random girder]

go get ironworks gear

you can also unlock the optional dungeons if you wanyt

[floral crystal]

okie ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

whats that

[random girder]

in the starting cities next to the aetheryte there is a blue bag npc

[astral bolt]

If I have a common equipment and glamoured it into a job restricted equipment, is the base equipment now job restricted?

[random girder]

you can get that with the tomestones of poetics you have

if you dont have enough, dont worry

youll get more doing post-arr quests

[strange notch]

is that lv 40-50 ?

[random girder]

go get gear whenever youre about to hit the 2000 cap

[random girder]

no, 50 only

[remote lintel]

@astral bolt no, the job specific glamour just won't show up on a diff job

it will look like the unglamoured gear

[strange notch]

I need gear now I am dieing to everything athat is more than 1 mob lol

[fast hull]

Question in your msq, you didn't choose any accessories rewards?

You can get the 29 earrings it will help a bit. Can you survive the level41 dungeon without dying?

[faint flare]

Msq doesn't really give accessories prior to 50

[leaden ginkgo]

enough to buy everything?

[strange notch]

No accessories form anything

until 50 I guess

[random girder]

maybe idk

its like 4k for a full right and left side

but you get poetics quick

[dire prawn]

3,780

[random girder]

buy when you can, its the best gear for 5 levels

from 50-55

[fast hull]

Ah right

[faint flare]

A weapon, chest and legs minimum

[fast hull]

Do grandcompanies give accesories

[strange notch]

@random girder where was it ?

[random girder]

where was what

the poetics?

you cant get ironworks gear until 50 because you dont get poetics until 50

[cursive terrace]

what's the fastest alexander raid? to speedrun the 30 runs for the relics

[kindred remnant]

Is there a different discord that’s good to find people to farm fates with?

[astral bolt]

Are Grand Company equipment the only ones with set bonus?

[random girder]

60 runs, a1 and a3 are fastest

for each part

[cursive terrace]

i see

i'm queuing for a3 rn but there's nobody

so i thought it wasnt the right one

cause o3 was literally instant queues

[random girder]

set up a party finder

[leaden ginkgo]

what are poetics btw?

[dire prawn]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

Basically old endgame currency

[dire prawn]

Tl;dr: battle currency obtained from level cap content at 50/60/70 that allows you to buy the best gear available at 50/60/70 which lasts up to 55/65/75

[warm snow]

A4 dumps you straight at the boss so it could be argued to be faster

[strange notch]

Ah well, I could get is to 38, doubt it will make any diference, will swap to something that is better in solo after 50

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh im lvl 56 rn so i should wait for lvl 60 to buy that stuff?

[random girder]

no

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

No

[random girder]

you just finished arr?

[faint flare]

You won't get access to.it for awhile

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

patch stuff is left

[warm snow]

Your current level isn't important

[white bronze]

One more question..my friend wants rogue/ninja as his first job..once he's lvl 10 he can do that right ? No real story progression is needed?

[random girder]

go get ironworks then

[dire prawn]

Salamamin have you done Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium already

[warm snow]

The msq level is more important

[faint flare]

If he's in limsa yea

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

[dire prawn]

Lv 10 class quest then yes

[faint flare]

Otherwise need story progress to limsa

[dire prawn]

KB/M?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh kk i got sword and shield

[leaden ginkgo]

whats that?

[dire prawn]

keyboard & mouse

[leaden ginkgo]

yep

[dire prawn]

But you already have the Ironworks sword and shield

Hit Ctrl C

[leaden ginkgo]

yep

and?

When making a macro for content, do I specify ranged and magical DPS as R1/R2? Or just D1/D2?

[dire prawn]

How many of the first tomestone do you have

[strange notch]

'Tempered Operator' Mobs OWN me so hard 2 of them do 200 dmg each per hit LOL

[dire prawn]

Please tell me you're not trying to make a combat macro

[leaden ginkgo]

50

[dire prawn]

If you are

The answer is stop doing that

[leaden ginkgo]

no

[dire prawn]

Oh

Then

[warm snow]

r1/r2 is preferable

[dire prawn]

[dire prawn]

Go get more

And get more Ironworks

:^)

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[warm snow]

D1-4 is kinda pointless imho

[faint flare]

R1/r2 for ranged jobs

[white bronze]

I had him pick arcanist first so yea

[faint flare]

Then just do his class quests and he can get rogue

[warm snow]

R1/2 and m1/2

[leaden ginkgo]

hahahaha whats the fastest method?

[dire prawn]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[warm snow]

Continuing msq cuz you'll get a decent amount from first time clears of level cap content

In your current case all the lv50 dungeons and trials

The augmented ironworks gear is the best gear the game will give you access to, until you get to level 54/55ish in the msq which is halfway through heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

oh kk i do that then

and do some dungeons

[warm snow]

Similar will happen when you go through the patch content of heavensward and stormblood, shadowbringers too if you don't get there til November

[opaque heart]

what are melee dps classes?

[random girder]

monk, ninja, dragoon, samurai

[faint flare]

And reaper in November

[random girder]

and reaper

[opaque heart]

which is fun?

[faint flare]

Subjective

[random girder]

all

[faint flare]

I like Samurai and Ninja more

[opaque heart]

which has dynamic movements?

[faint flare]

Monk and dragoon hurt my head

[random girder]

all, but monk moves around a lot

[faint flare]

Monk is very fast and moves often

[random girder]

positionals on every attack

[dusty terrace]

do I get it right, if I preorder endwalker, I get minion and earrings now?

[random girder]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[dusty terrace]

is the 30% exp boost noticeable, or does it drown in non-mob exp sources?

[random girder]

it is very noticeable

doing dungeons to level is the fastest way anyway

and it takes often 1 less dungeon per level

which feels really nice

hey

my friend created an account on steam and started the free trial, but he wants to play on ps4 now

[potent shoal]

if I tossed my starter clothes, is there a way to get them back?

[slow timber]

but its saying that he cant transfer the free trial

[faint flare]

Cause you cant

[slow timber]

what he can do to transfer to ps4

[faint flare]

Trial is 1 device only

[tender tapir]

i don’t think you can unfortunately :(

[alpine shadow]

he has to buy the standard edition to be able to use it cross platform

[faint flare]

You would have to buy the game on steam then buy on ps4

To transfer

[slow timber]

so if he buy the standard edition on steam he can play on ps4 without problem?

[alpine shadow]

yea

well

also buy ps4 version

[faint flare]

If he buys on ps4 as well

As I said

[slow timber]

o h shit, so need to buy 2 versions

[alpine shadow]

yup

[faint flare]

He wouldn't be on trial either

He would be permanently out of the trial and on the sub timer

[alpine shadow]

how would playstation know that you own it on pc

[slow timber]

i thought it was linked to mog account

[faint flare]

The trial itself is limited to 1 devicd

[tender tapir]

i THINK you can buy them from roarich in ruby road exchange

not for certain

[faint flare]

Yes but yoy brought a Steam licence... Not a ps4 licence

Welcome to the world of Licences

[alpine shadow]

they never bought anything yet.

[slow timber]

got it, thanks, i think its better for him to start a new account on ps4 then

since its a beginner account anyways

[faint flare]

If he only just started then yeah

[alpine shadow]

only if he really wants to play it on a ps4

just ask if they want to mainly play on pc or ps4, and choose first between that

if ps4, then you have to create a new acc.

[tender tapir]

^

[slow timber]

ok thanks

[jaunty oak]

Hi guys, recently just unlocked wondrous tails but for some reason, every time I open it, the game keeps crashing
went to different areas to see if that can be fixed and it still crashes the game every time I open the journal
decided to do a clean reinstall and now the game just crashes the moment I click the green play button
any solutions? I have the windows version and the game doesn't give me any error codes

[naive kraken]

sounds like something for #technology-discussion

[opaque heart]

wheres spearman guild?

[jaunty oak]

gotcha, thanks for pointing me the right channel

[little swift]

Gridania @opaque heart lancers guild

[faint flare]

Lancer in gridina

[inner perch]

Hi I need help with my blm lvl 35 job quest

[cedar saddle]

Hey, does anyone know why whenever I drag skills onto my hotbar, like Stone 4. It just turns into either Dia or Glare (white mage)

[iron epoch]

Guys,I just bought the game and I need to know if i need to install it again or can I just keep playing on the free trial version that is already downloaded ?

[faint flare]

Because they're going to their upgraded versions

[heavy wadi]

because glare is the direct upgrade to stone 4

[faint flare]

You have the traits to upgrade it to their better version

[cunning loom]

for convenience's sake it merges multiple skills into one

[cedar saddle]

ohh lol, I just got back into the game after almost a year of not playing so I must have forgotten I think

thanks

[fast hull]

@inner perch I dont know what that is but my usual strat in black is spam sleep and kill the mobs 1 by1

Sleep is 30 secs?

[sullen galleon]

Is there a aesthetic different between the Wave weapons and the Tidal Wave weapons?

[fast hull]

I think one has a ie glow

Blue

Like Shiva weapons has an icy glow with diamond thjngs

[inner perch]

Thats the problem the imps come in 3 and they are each tough to fight

[tough tiger]

Regarding the crystal tower series, do I only have to complete the raids or the entire questline to go on into heavensward?

[cunning loom]

isn't that the same thing

there's like two extra quests after completing the raids where you just talk to two npcs

[tough tiger]

ahh

ok

[opaque heart]

do you know some good class showcase videos?

[fast hull]

@inner perch question do use fire or fire 2

[opaque heart]

showing all skills etc without too much talking?

[fast hull]

Is you use fire 2 gonna wake all 3

[inner perch]

Fire

[fast hull]

Hmm follow up question, when they hit you like 1/3 of your hp is gkne?

Gone

If like you are wearing or using level 10-15 gear gonn be a tougher, they are like squishy

[patent citrus]

this https://youtu.be/jaGxC7wnBDo https://youtu.be/aBiK1kduTfw ?

[leaden ginkgo]

hey do you guys know where I can get the crafting recipe for casual jacket?

is it just the highest level masters recipe?

for weavers?

[worn flume]

it's not crafted

[patent citrus]

casual jacket is from kupo voucher

[leaden ginkgo]

ah I see

[robust crow]

https://youtu.be/jaGxC7wnBDo

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a few names can I run them by you guys? just to see if they are craftable or not
skyworkers singlet, frontier dress, ao dai, urban coat, rebel coat

[robust crow]

this is a better example

that other vid only shows lbs

[patent citrus]

i linked 2 videos

[upbeat scarab]

im currently level 47 but my next msq needs me 49, what would be a fast way to get the other 2 levels?

[floral moat]

is the housing discord here?

[opaque heart]

more like a real gameplay showcase

skills rotation etc

[robust crow]

oh lol i didn't see the 1st link

[fast hull]

@upbeat scarab do roulette once for bonus xp and spam highest dungeon, that would be aurum vale,,,( can be unlocked in waking sands) blue quest marker

[unkempt hull]

do you have to run old content synced / is there any benefit to doing so? If I wanted to run HW raids for tomes / gear, could I just solo them at lvl 80?

[faint flare]

You can unsync if you want

You won't get tomes

Only chest items

[fading aurora]

how do u unlock the other part in bozja do u need a certain rank?

Zadnor? Rank 10, finish delubrum and 5.4

[fading aurora]

no i mean the other half of bozja

the map is blocked by na barrier

by a *

[fast hull]

Yes need to rank up

[faint flare]

Zone 2 is like rank 5

Zone 3 is rank 8

[fast hull]

5 in center 8 in top?

[fading aurora]

gotcha

ty

[faint flare]

Following the blue quests in bojza

[sullen galleon]

Tidal Wave Gunblade when? 😛

[leaden ginkgo]

hey if I megagrind skybuilder's scrips how many can you get in an hour realistically?

[faint flare]

Never

They never add primal weapons retroactively

[sullen galleon]

They did for Samurai and Red Mage and Machinist

[faint flare]

Cause they go through those levels

[sullen galleon]

Ah.

Makes sense

[inner perch]

No its like they all hit together to cause damage

[upper cove]

Not sure if i should be asking here or elsewhere. Anyone encounter issue with the kupo bot glam save? Couldn't load my saved glams

[inner perch]

I will try your strategy of using fire only

[faint flare]

Use your chocobo for healing

[inner perch]

How do I do that

[faint flare]

Unlock the chocobo companion a bentmarrow in the shroud then summon it with Gyshal greens after putting skill points in its healer tree

It covers all overworld healing

[fast hull]

Job quest are in an instance? I thought no cjocobos

[faint flare]

Not all of them

[inner perch]

I will check rn playing marauder

[hollow saddle]

Are the big levequests actually worth 10? Specifically the ones in Ishgard and specifically for crafting exp.

[faint flare]

No

[hollow saddle]

Okay, thanks. I never did them so wasn't sure.

[upbeat scarab]

awesome ty bro

[outer mural]

yeah the big ones are inefficient for actual reward to charge cost

[inner perch]

How do I level up my chocobo

[fast hull]

You fight mobs and do fates

[faint flare]

Kill stuff with it out

[fast hull]

Also helps if you have challenge log since it gives a ton of xp both you anyone chocobo

[inner perch]

Ok

I only have a hunting log

[faint flare]

You should really go unlock the challenge log

[inner perch]

How

[faint flare]

Alot of weekly xp for stuff you're doing naturally

Upper Limsa

[fast hull]

In limsa

Talk to the wench

[inner perch]

Ok

So challenge would help give chocobo exp

[fast hull]

Also you

[inner perch]

Ok thanks

[fast hull]

Like if I 3 random dungeons in week huge xp

[faint flare]

5

[inner perch]

Nice also how do I get gyshal greens

[fast hull]

5 is ordinary dungeons right?

[faint flare]

Merchants

[inner perch]

Ok

[faint flare]

All general merchants sell them

[fast hull]

3 is random roullette ones

[jade quartz]

Bango Zango in Limsa, Maisenta in Gridania, or Roarich in Ruby Road Exchange, Ul'dah sell Gysahl Greens.

Bango Zango is usually the one-stop shop.

He's right by the aetheryte.

[odd radish]

guys can I change my job during the msq?? (first time playing the game)

[faint flare]

Yes

[opaque heart]

yea

I level 2 different jobs during msq

[odd radish]

how¿

[faint flare]

You need to level the alt job up to catch back up

[odd radish]

?*

[faint flare]

Just go unlock the job you want and equip the weapon given

[odd radish]

np i just suffer as healer too much stress

[opaque heart]

you can complete msq if the msq level is equal to your class level

then unlock some dps

and play healer in dungeons

[dire prawn]

Healing is easy

[opaque heart]

and level them parallel

[odd radish]

@dire prawn too stressing

i want mage

[opaque heart]

healing is pain during leveling

[dire prawn]

60 WHM is the most unstressed thing I can do

[faint flare]

It's just a case of learning how to heal

[dire prawn]

I'll tell you what's stressing

[faint flare]

And that dungeons literally do no damage

[odd radish]

@dire prawn i am lvl 53 so maybe i continue

[faint flare]

People don't need full HP

[dire prawn]

Doing Castrum Abania with an afk dps and a DPS that eats the AoEs for uptime so you have to heal them too

[faint flare]

And dungeons don't do any damage

[odd radish]

@faint flare i need to heal them

[faint flare]

You dont

[dire prawn]

You do

But

[faint flare]

Not if they're over 50%

[dire prawn]

You don't need to keep them at full

[odd radish]

wtf

[faint flare]

.

Boss room wides are pathetic

Bosses in general are pathetic

[buoyant sorrel]

Can i just keep picking up beast trip quest day after day and like.. Finish them in bulk?

[outer mural]

no

[faint flare]

No

[outer mural]

you need to finish them in taht day

[hard parrot]

There’s a daily limit.

[dire prawn]

Second boss of Ala Mhigo though

[outer mural]

else if you do it tomorrow it eats one of the daily allowances for you to do them

[faint flare]

The scientist?

[dire prawn]

The dude that || rips your soul out ||

[buoyant sorrel]

Aw I thought that would be to good to be true ty!

[faint flare]

He doesn't really do that much

Just alot of dodge shit

[dire prawn]

He didn't do anything outside of that one mechanic

[odd radish]

idk its just that i am new and i feel overwhelmed maybe changing jobs would change. It's my first mmo and there are too many things

[dire prawn]

too many things
Changing jobs would make it even worse then

[faint flare]

People don't need full HP and room wides do like maybe 30% or less of people's hp

[unkempt hull]

I am getting trucked by HW mobs on my MCH - I'm ilvl 84, is that super low or something? I'm lvl 54 and have trouble killing one mob that's 52

[faint flare]

You get more tools as you level to never use cure 2 or any gcd heals ever again

[faint flare]

That extremely low

You should be i130

[dire prawn]

That's beyond low

[outer mural]

very low

[faint flare]

Go by ironworks

[outer mural]

you should be 130+

[odd radish]

cure 2 is bad? wtf

[outer mural]

buy ironworks yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[fast hull]

How u survive?

[outer mural]

this is incorrect

[faint flare]

Cause it's a gcd

[outer mural]

oh

relative yes

[faint flare]

There's better options

[odd radish]

gcd?

[unkempt hull]

that gear is like super expensive though, do I really have to grind old dungeons for thousands of tomes?

[faint flare]

Global Cooldowns

[outer mural]

at later levels you have better healing tools to use over cure 2

cure 2 is a last resort later on

[dire prawn]

Below Lv 56 no it's not bad

[fast hull]

Cure 2 usually is obsolete once you get your afflatuses

[dire prawn]

Past that yes it's bad if you're having to use it

[faint flare]

Regen carries alot of heavy lifting low level

[odd radish]

@dire prawn ok ty i trust u

[faint flare]

Like alot

[dire prawn]

Regen is love

Regen is life

[odd radish]

medica II is love

[faint flare]

You can slap regen on the tank and ignore them

[dire prawn]

Pretty much

[faint flare]

Medica 2 is fine for aoe healing up

[odd radish]

@faint flare but it applies agro

[faint flare]

Until you get like Asylum and Assize

[dire prawn]

60 WHM is absolutely braindead healing

[faint flare]

Run next to the tank

It's a non issue

Go to the tank

They'll take the add

Plus you should be.next to them anyway for holy

[dire prawn]

Just toss Regen on them and use Tetra if they get hit by stuff

[odd radish]

tetra

let me search

[faint flare]

The 60 skill

[dire prawn]

Tetragrammaton is the Lv 60 WHM ability

[odd radish]

ah the braindead skill u say

[faint flare]

It's a free cure 2

[dire prawn]

It's Cure II but oGCD on a 60s cooldown

[faint flare]

Every 60s

It's one of your main heals

Don't save your off global heals for emergencies

[dire prawn]

I always cast Tetra before I use my Afflatus lilies

[faint flare]

They're your primary healing tools

[raven dew]

hey! sorry to bother people, but im downloading the game right now and its extremely slow. does anyone know how to fix this? i havent really found a good solution on the internet

[faint flare]

Use Benediction very liberally

[odd radish]

guys any tip to not feel overwhelmed or discourages to play the game?

[outer mural]

that may be based on your own internet speed

[random girder]

it locks at like 2mbps

[dire prawn]

Take breaks from it occasionally

[random girder]

quick launcher doesnt do this

[raven dew]

@outer mural i know its not because its downloading at 2MB/s whereas on steam im at like 40

[outer mural]

didn't seem to tbe the case for me emerald

[fast hull]

Find a guild that is not toxic and willing to teach

[outer mural]

there should be a tweak-able download cap tho

[hoary storm]

The basic of healer is "How low can i let ppl go before healing"

[fast hull]

Made plenty of mistakes but others encouraged me to play and not berated me that I suck

[raven dew]

kinda salty too because my friend just started downloading it and hes at 50 MB/s avg and finished in the download int he time it took me to get like 5%

[outer mural]

i have zero idea why you'r's is throttled down to 2

let me see

[raven dew]

i tried tons of stuff to fix it, which ended up having me restarting the launcher. and my download went from 70% to starting from scratch. so idk what to do now

dont want to have to wait another 4 hours to get back to 70%

[outer mural]

maybe check in #technology-discussion

not very well-versedi n this at all

[raven dew]

ill try

thanks for the help so far though

[outer mural]

also

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/414473

check out this thread maybe

same issue as you

[raven dew]

ahh i found that, tried all the steps and no fix sadly

[trail elk]

Can someone explain to me why there are 2 different artifact weapons

Like I got deathbringer off centurion seals

But there’s a different one that evolves with relics

So I’m confused

[fast hull]

Well I think there are different artifact weapons in each expansikn

Also is the maintenance active now?

[obsidian patio]

Not yet

[fast hull]

Maybe he is having trouble installing because patch day is today

[obsidian patio]

That’s just how they did it for whatever reason /shrug

[trail elk]

Like I thought I needed the centurion one for it to evolve into the awoken one

It turns out the awoken one has a lower item level

[obsidian patio]

If it helps, the centurion one is dyeable while the relic versions aren’t

[idle spoke]

hello everyone, what is the most optimized/cost-time efficient way to Crystal Sand for Anima weapon stage?

there are many ways to exchange but i can't decide which one would be better tbh

i got no crafters leveled yet btw

[trail elk]

Actually the other one isn’t even a relic

It’s also a blue coloured item

I’m so confused

[obsidian patio]

If you can spare the Gil, farm extreme ARR primals for their materials

You can easily solo them at level 70 and above

Buy out the cheaper materials and farm the more expensive ones

[dire prawn]

What jobs can do them at 70

[fast hull]

Relic is purple

[obsidian patio]

All of them

But Ifrit might be trouble for dps for below 80

[dire prawn]

I have my 72 DNC in all Scaevan gear finally so I'm thinking about trying to solo the trials now for ponies

[idle spoke]

i also find a video talking about a levequest farm and turning those into crystal exchanged

would that also be optimal? Since im still with i260 gear

and cant solo extremes

[faint flare]

Yes amber vilekin

It's a good method

[obsidian patio]

Yeah that’s your best bet then

You can still buy the primal materials off the marketboard if you’re not a trial account

So that’s an option if you have a decent pile of Gil

[dire prawn]

Do Ifrit/Titan/Garuda drop the same pony?

[idle spoke]

not that much im sitting around at 1m

[dire prawn]

Or do they drop a different pony for each

[obsidian patio]

Oh that’s definitely enough for them

[faint flare]

Different

[obsidian patio]

On Gilgamesh most sit below 5k

[faint flare]

But they can drop nightmare as a additional mount

[dire prawn]

Is Nightmare a rare drop then

[cunning loom]

very

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[idle spoke]

what about materias?

[cunning loom]

don't forget the other primal horses

[faint flare]

You can't get those anymore

[cunning loom]

leviathan/shiva/ramuh

[faint flare]

Other than buying off people who horded them as collector items

[dire prawn]

If I get all six ARR ponies where's the quest at to get the last pony like I did for the HW birds to get Firebird

Also can I rewatch the cutscene that plays when you summon Firebird?

[faint flare]

Bar in mor Dhona iirc

[dire prawn]

I had to skip it because duty popped ;_;

[faint flare]

Similar cutscene

But for pony

[idle spoke]

ouch these crafting materials are around 15k+ in my server

levequests then 😄

[gaunt turtle]

How do you summon your non combat minion? I have a boat and have no clue how to summon it.

[faint flare]

Use the item then minion guide

[gaunt turtle]

Ty! It is all so overwhelming to be néw.

[idle spoke]

dont worry, this game has so much stuff and content to do that you will feel overwhelmed

dont hesitate to ask questions here and in novice chat ingame

[gaunt turtle]

Can you multi class! I like this pre-monk, but wish I had a ranged ability.

[faint flare]

Not cross class

But you can be every job on 1 character

Each job is separate

[gaunt turtle]

How does one get invite to novice chat? Is it just a retail version ability.

[faint flare]

Get a mentor to invite you

Use say to ask in limsa

[idle spoke]

exactly

and about the classes, what Vinyl said, you can "change" your job with equipping a job specific weapon/soul

[gaunt turtle]

At any time, or after you max one?

[idle spoke]

at any time, it just depends on the job

[faint flare]

After doing your lv10 class quest

You can swap

[dire prawn]

After doing the Lv 10 class quest for your starting class you can switch at any time

[idle spoke]

some jobs can't be "unlocked" before lvl 50 and before finishing some questts

[faint flare]

Provided you're not in combat or instance naturally

[gaunt turtle]

What is the lvl 10 quest? I am a pre Monk but haven’t ‘evolved’ to Monk yet.

[faint flare]

Your class quests

[boreal storm]

You don’t get the upgrade until lvl 30

[upper cove]

Hi! Does gc pvp rank retain in that gc when you switch? I.E. if I switch back to let's say maelstrom after I switch out. Does my pvp rank retain or reset

[faint flare]

The ones from your trainer which you should be doing

[gaunt turtle]

I had thought I read it was lvl 30. Ty.

[boreal storm]

Along with doing a specific lvl 20 msq quest called sylph management

[idle spoke]

yes it retains but you cant switch back before reaching a specific rank

which i dont remmber the exact rank so i wont tell a wrong info

like with the new gc you will start from 0

[upper cove]

I'm currently rank about 15 on my current GC

Probably staying to get all achievements before I move back to the other 2

[long mason]

Hello! Just curious, how long would it take to get "raid ready" for current tier if I were fresh 80? Sorry new and still figuring a lot out! Lol

[gaunt turtle]

So I could swap over to a ranged class for fun by just equipping a different specific weapon?

[upper cove]

Cause I already ranked up to captain previously on the other 2 when I eas free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a faq or video guide on role actions? Most of them seem completely useless starting mid level so idk which ones I should even bother keeping in my hotbar.

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo check up weskalber on YouTube

He has quite the informative video on each role action

[dire prawn]

If you want to drop roughly 1.5m gil then immediately

[leaden ginkgo]

Will do, thanks!

[boreal storm]

You have to unlock the class first, but once that’s done yes you can

[cunning loom]

obviously you're locked inside dungeons and whatnot

[gaunt turtle]

Sorry. How do you unlock another class. Sorry.

[faint flare]

Do.the respective unlock quest

[cunning loom]

but it's normal to see people change gearsets to change into a ranged class to speed themselves up in town for example

[astral bolt]

When do you get lost action?

[faint flare]

The Base ones are called "so you wanna be a X"

[faint flare]

Your like 3rd quest in bojza asks you to get a lost fragment of skill

[gaunt turtle]

Oooh. Okay. I saw those. And wondered.

[faint flare]

Those are lost actions

You need to appraise then

[gaunt turtle]

Which is biggest glass cannon caster class?

[faint flare]

Black mage

Thaumaturge

It's the turret caster

[boreal storm]

You unlock it in the desert city, Uldah

[gaunt turtle]

Which is the most new player friendly healer?

[faint flare]

White mage

Conjurer

[boreal storm]

It’s the only playable healer pre lvl 30

[gaunt turtle]

Is it weird I find joy in mining nude? Changed role, toon had no armor. Rolled with it.

[boreal storm]

You’ll need gear if you want to consistently get items

[astral bolt]

Why not mine while glamour in emperors new outfit set?

[faint flare]

But you can glamour with ^

To keep the nude

[gaunt turtle]

Lol. This is like a new language I am horrid at.

[faint flare]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[astral bolt]

You can consistently craft HQ in DoH. Is there a way to guarantee HQ stuff in mining/botanist?

[faint flare]

Not unless you vastly outgear to let your Hq skills buff it over 100%

[astral bolt]

Fishing is just 90% RNG

[faint flare]

Mostly Hq mats don't supeeeeer mater and you mostly pick clean things

[faint flare]

Fair

Just gotta trust rng

[astral bolt]

Praise RNGesus

[stone edge]

I know it’s been asked before on forums but I always like seeing what people say. Do you have one character to get all classes or multiple for other reasons. Plus I was kinda thinking of making a second character for the sake of making another character

[twilit arch]

most people only have one character

[modest igloo]

i only play my main

[twilit arch]

maintaining multiple is pretty time consuming

[astral bolt]

I would make alt in other data server probably

[faint flare]

I have alts on other data centres I don't touch unless someone wants to play there

🤷‍♂️

All gonna be deleted when Dc travel happens

[astral bolt]

Isn't DC transfer already a thing?

[faint flare]

Not visit

Like world visit

[ripe hound]

Transfer yes, travel no

[faint flare]

We're getting Data centre visiting In 5.58 if it doesn't happen tonight

[ripe hound]

kk

[astral bolt]

F**k

[ripe hound]

I would be quite surprised if it’s done tonight

[faint flare]

True

I would imagine the coming live letter to give information on it

[ripe hound]

I thought it’s still being crunched out

[astral bolt]

I just data transferred from JP like 3 days ago

[heavy wadi]

we haven't even gotten patch notes for 5.57 so i doubt it'd have dc travel tbh

[ripe hound]

sad

[faint flare]

I remember seeing some data mined text options when 5.5 hit

[random girder]

it was an accidental post on steam

unless there was a datamine too

[twilit arch]

i mean....patch notes for 5.57 wouldn't be up now anyway

[ripe hound]

Also DC travel could shake up Market Boards a bit

[faint flare]

Only text options for mininh

[ripe hound]

As a rookie I have no idea how I can make a profit

[heavy wadi]

we haven't even seen preliminaries tho

[twilit arch]

there aren't prelims for minor patches

[faint flare]

There no prelims

It's a minor patch

[heavy wadi]

cross world travel didn't change markets much so

[twilit arch]

prelims are only for major

[astral bolt]

Can you turn down specific SFX like mining and botanist?

[ripe hound]

Hun, I’m surprised, I thought everything changed

[heavy wadi]

nah

nothing happened

[twilit arch]

lazy people are still lazy

[faint flare]

Since you can't Sell on other servers nothing really happened

[ripe hound]

Ye, I guess most people don’t bother flipping MBs

[twilit arch]

can't turn down specific sfx, its all or nothing

[astral bolt]

What's flipping MB?

[faint flare]

Buying low priced items

[ripe hound]

Basically playing MB in weird ways to gain money

[faint flare]

Then selling them at high price on yours

[ripe hound]

Like buying cheap stuff on other worlds and sell on your world

[astral bolt]

Ah right, this weird stock market simulation thing people do in games

[ripe hound]

Ye

Market tax is about 10%, so if you can’t fudge out a 10% profit margin, it’s not worth it

[astral bolt]

I feel like market board flipping kinda ruins the experience for other players? But I guess I don't really know enough about stock market manipulation.

[naive ridge]

no?

[faint flare]

They don't really care

They'll buy whatever is the lowest listed price

And be on their way

[naive ridge]

If anything, it balances out the prices to reflect more closely what they are truly valued at

[ripe hound]

Not really, most buyer don’t care

Heck, I don’t care either

[astral bolt]

You don't have people driving up prices in this game?

[ripe hound]

Nah, it’s almost impossible

[naive ridge]

Not really,

Most of the money is made on patch releases

[ripe hound]

Since if a thing goes high price, people will just go in and fill the demand

Remember, you can play all jobs in this game

[faint flare]

If anything people try to drive it down with constant undercutting

[naive ridge]

as time goes on, stuff is easier to obtain, so the price drops

[ripe hound]

So there are omnicrafters everywhere

[heavy wadi]

it's easy as hell to get to be an omnicrafter and make a lot of money

[ripe hound]

So yeah, as a buyer, a more competitive market means cheaper prices

[naive ridge]

you only need 1 minion/mount and most cosmetics

demand falls off eventually

[astral bolt]

Oh right, I guess it's easier since everyone can be every class

[ripe hound]

Ye, and usually a mil is enough for most stuff

Albeit, there are an extremely few true gold sinks

[naive ridge]

and battle gear is obtained with tomestones and raids generally

[ripe hound]

That are truly expensive

But everything else is cheap

[naive ridge]

unless you are minmaxing for savage

[astral bolt]

I'm from GW2, and sometimes market board manipulation gets really bad

[ripe hound]

And all of those “truest expensive” stuff are non raid related.
Just cosmetics and stuff

Yeah, in ffxiv gil isn’t used as much as other games

[naive ridge]

or housing

if you get even get one

[heavy wadi]

housing is probably the biggest sink

[naive ridge]

or the super expensive mounts

[ripe hound]

I was thinking about the few 50 mil mounts

[naive ridge]

yea

[ripe hound]

I only had 30 mil and I thought I was rich

I always wanted to have “Enough Money”

As in, enough money that the concept of money becomes meaningless

Was surprised to found out that it’s actually quite difficult

[naive ridge]

I'd say 100 mil is around that much

[ripe hound]

Ye, my goal is 200mil

[naive ridge]

you could just drop money on stuff without thinking about it at that point

[ripe hound]

Ye

I’m thinking about buying omnicrafter gear 1 hour after patch comes down

That kind of rich

[plain python]

max HP or healing potency if you usually run around with Lost Cure?

[ripe hound]

Like being able to go use those I’m rich!” things

[naive ridge]

True wealth are the players that have played from ARR and own personal mansions.

[buoyant sorrel]

Is there a way to cash out on tomestones of Revelation just before the Weekly reset I'm about 120 off and nobody is doing runs

[faint flare]

Hunt trains

But maint is in 3 hours so activity in general is gonna be low

[obsidian patio]

For the valors/honors? Healing potency IMO

Each stack is like +7 or 10% healing

[faint flare]

10%

For healing

[plain python]

so if you get enough stack, you basically negate profane's healing reduction?

[obsidian patio]

I don’t think it works like that, but I can’t tell you for sure

Depends on how it maths out

[faint flare]

Pretty sure it works multiplicity like most things

So probably not

[buoyant sorrel]

Will the maintenance finish b4 the reset?

[obsidian patio]

Same with Irregular for HP honors

Probably

[faint flare]

No

It's like 4 hours scheduled

[buoyant sorrel]

:c

[fierce cobalt]

Is there a chance the maint will end early? It's only raid or housing patches that go for the full length usually right?

[faint flare]

Could Yes

Could be extended

Raid/housing will always be up on the scheduled end time

[spare heron]

Something made me doubt so thought I'd double check - if I switch my retainer from FSH to MIN, and then put it back to FSH, will it go back to FSH lvl 80 or will it have to start leveling from 1 again ?

[faint flare]

1

They don't remember levels
