you can also just ask your exact question instead of a vague "anyone help codes"
Should I wait till the weekend to try out 'Labrynth of the Ancients'? It'd be my first time, or does it matter?
you can do it now blind
its pretty easy
don't stand in bad and read party chat or ask questions if you need help and you're golden
@modest igloo Thanks 🙂
have fun!
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
so this might be a dumb question, but i am doing the quest for btn aromatic aspirations, and i have farmed over 100 sprigs of chamomile and not one has been counted for the quest am i doing something wrong ._.
Do they have to be HQ?
You should have specific skills for boosting the HQ rate
After like 30ish, everything has to be HQ
oh ._.
is it blaspheme to skip literally every time cut scene and dialog?
wait times might be a bit long right now.
Well it depends what you're interested in for this game
you do you
im just trying to get to the cool stuff but i always hear people say pay attention the first time around but idk how much that eben matters
This game is very much story focused, so if you want something less story driven this game might not be for you. That being said, the content is still fun without the story
yes
If you don’t care about story, you can skip all you want
Is there like, a central guide to HW and ARR relics somewhere? I'm considering starting em
It's like starting at Return of the Jedi
!faq zodiac
!faq anima
@heavy wadi ^
pog thanks!
A New Hope may be tedious but it sets things up for future events
That's ARR
All that super awesome amazing cool stuff later on?
yeah i couldnt give a single shit about what happened in ARR tbh, that was way too long to pay attention to. i looked up a lore video for all of that and will probably do that for the rest of the story as well
It's only that because it's built upon everything else
This isn't WoW where everything is discarded when a new expansion rolls in
Each expac is another season of a tv show. Builds upon the last.
ill probably pay attention from shadow bringers on
Hmm
look up a video for the rest
you'll probably be a bit lost even if you do that
shb ties up a lot of threads across all the expansions.
A lot of things will be thrown at you and you'll have zero context
“What’s a primal, what’s tempering, who’s a crystal tower?”
I think SHB itself can be experienced as a standalone story
But what comes after and its implications on the rest of the story will make 0 sense
Many story beats will leave you with more questions than answers
Shadowbringers builds on a lot of story beats set up in previous expansions
But if you're really not liking ARR, you can just skip it and watch a video
I suppose it depends on what you mean by the "cool stuff"
ARR you can probably safely skip, the other expacs... not so much
You can skim through most of ARR
But I would at the very least pay attention to the Crystal Tower questline
^^
Do not skip Heavensward
One ShB dungeon in particular involves the raids from the 3 previous expansions, it’s optional but still
I would honestly say don't skip.... I guess
You can always replay the story in NG+
Because it's worth it in the end lol
Albeit Stormblood does add some interesting topics to think about
Just remember that ARR was probably made so tedius to deal with the extra dev work they needed due to the re-release / rework of 1.0
Not to mention introducing one of the best villains in the franchise
Anyways, this is getting to be a bit more discussiony for this channel, best to move it to #beginner-lounge
@lavish sierra apologies if it seemed like we dumped on you a bit, but the heart of FFXIV is its story so if you come in saying that you're not really interested in it than you're going to get a lot of pushback
But yes in short, skim story beats to get the gist of things if you must, but I'd avoid skipping
nah i dont mind at all lmao i would rather input from the fans of the game
i love the mechanics of it but i dont enjoy the story very much
I mean I get where you're coming from, I've played WoW from vanilla till Legion
The transition can be jarring coming from that ultimately it's worth it
and that's ultimately why shb is so praised
I didn't care much for the story either at first but it grows on you
Another question, as for the Dungeon Master achievement does that include raids etc or specifically dungeons and trials?
Dungeon Master?
Because this wording is... very vague https://i.imgur.com/f5J7y6U.png
Dungeon raid or trials
and I'm currently at 837 with a number of classes left to max so I can definitely hit it by just playing, was just wondering because the wording was super weird
This is soloable??
Oh god I didn't even realise
Just be prepared for it to take a WHILE.
It's one of the more hardest achievements
I've done feast of famine, I don't mind a pain in the ass
also when i hit 80 does everything just open up to me? like will i just be able to do whatever i want?
for that class at least
No still gotta finish story
So you can get their job quests, and get the rest of their skills
^
makes sense
In all manners of the word
It's why we insist on following the story rofl
Going through MSQ alone gets you to 80
Any level grinds are relegated to your other jobs
Emm am I doing something wrong with crafting quests? I started the weaver quest for HW and it requires so much higher crafting skill than I do. Like I need to make HQ holy rainbow gloves and it's like 5000 quality required :/
The gear I'm using is from the GC.
I mean, it seemed to be the best stuff to get from ARR
And this is the first quest for weaver.
The GC stuff was intended for early ARR endgame I believe
Mm okay what should I be using?
The GC stuff is level 50. Well due to GC provisions, i'm weaver level 58, lol. But I need to do the quests themselves.
i.e. 51, 53, 55, etc.
Oh definitely get replacement gear in that case haha
There's a vast stat jump
Preferably HQ lv58 gear
Well I figured what I'm using now would be okay considering this is the first quest.
What would I be using if I started the crafting quests at the beginning of HW.
HW crafting was.. interesting
I'm only 58 due to GC supply things.
HW yellow Scrip gear is also 58, you probably can’t get it tho not sure if you made it to idyllshire
Make sure you're always finishing with a great strikes byregots
Unlike combat crafting is very heavily reliant on your gear
The slightest upgrade can be enormous
Mm, okay I will get level 58 gear 🤷♀️
I just figured this would be fine, since the quest is level 53 😄
If HQ gear is too expensive regular stuff can suffice
That's like 2 gear upgrades at 53
Oh I see, I'm not sure why they would expect you to upgrade gear like twice in 3 levels, though.
You'd be surprised
Considering how quickly the levels go by with leves and GC stuff.
I've caught under 20 fish and I'm fisher level 50 something :D!
Thanks! But how does simply grinding the highest level dungeon available fit into these 4? For example, should I do leveling/alliance/msq, then do highest level dungeons available with my remaining time over other roulettes like 50/60/70, raid, trial etc?
Well you have to consider exp gains would be scaled up after an expansion or two
Oh I see, I didn't know they did that.
They'd have to
Well, thank you! At least I understand where I'm going wrong. I'll get gear level appropriate then.
Sure thing!
in the balance SAM rotation when should i do the 2 filler
Also prioritise left side gear over the right, especially the main parts that increase your craftsmanship
Above does it after 2 midare but can be done sooner if needed
Are all the quests after defeating Ultima supposed to level 50 for a while or am I doing something wrong? I'm level 56 but the last 30+ quests have been level 50
Yes there's 80 of then
In total
They're the post patch quests added during the wait to heavensward
oh so these were 'max level' quests?
They're ARR post-game
Yep
Yes

There's always post patch stuff after the levelling story
ty for the responses
Thankfully not ad long as arr
i just discovered Shiva boss music
would you say i am more than half way?
As is tradition, post-game patches tend to be assorted with epilogue and aftermath quests (x.1-x.3) and the lead-in to the next expansion (x.4-x.55)
Yes
Shiva is 2.4 iirc
So just over half
Remember to do the crystal tower and hard mode primals
It's the second to last trial of the ARR postgame
You'll be story blocked if you haven't
Isn't CT part of the MSQ now?
ravanas got some bumpin music too
Still a blue quest
Oh
Burst is basically your opener again when you loop back to the 60s
what's loop back to the 60s
When you need to redo Higabana
And Tsumbae is coming off Cooldown
Getting back to your 60s Cooldowns
ohh
"A Dream Fulfilled" i dont quite understand what to do, could someone help me?
my gcd is 2.11 which filler do i go for
u need to get crystal sand and umbrite
umbrite u can just buy with poetics you need approx 80 umbrite for a weapon
crystal sand you can exchange for a bunch of stuffs like blue crafters scripts you buy with yellow scripts, amd more
there are bunch of guides online showing best ways to get crystal sand
@humble epoch
I want to bind F for abilities, but it replaces Face Target? What is that exactly and is it useful to have?
It makes your character face who they are targeting
Guide for anima
ah yeah
read through that just as u linked
but crystal sand
what's the best way to obtain that
If you got crafters levelled then the blue scrip stuff. Otherwise farming heavensward leves and getting the chests that randomly spawn for the vilekin
Ex wow player I've been playing FFXIV for awhile now and have been using red mage since I've been told it's the easiest class to use starting out. Is this true at the highest lvl because I personally always like using the classes with high skill ceilings so I might end up swapping if there skill ceiling is low
Yes, it's the second easiest job in the game
!faq meta
Out of curiosity what is the easiest class
Rdm has a higher skill ceiling than the other one imho
There's not that much you really juggle and nothing super changes at cap
Dnc
Ok so I've been debating between monk ninja and dragoon because normally I use melee dps. Is there one class that's just harder than the others between them? I'm going to continue red mage for abit until I fully adjust to the games rotations since mine is already 73 but I'm definitely not going to main it
Dancer pace is really nice tho
When you get all your procs and you gotta weave in all the combos
Monk probably due to the fast pace and constant positionals
Monks rotation is very simple though, it's just the speed
Ninja may need another braincell or two because Mudra combinations
Dragoon is honestly pretty easy
Simple but it's fast and doing positionals during mechanics
DRG has animation lock, MNK has positionals, NIN has fast burst, SAM has punishing uptime
Frankly I’d recommend samurai, it feels really clean and rewarding to play
I dont wanna use Sam because I hear there extremely popular and I have a weird thing with that 🤣
meh
Eh
i dont see too many of them
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whatever floats your boat
I see lots of people in Ironworks gear on SAM which makes me assume that lots of people indeed rush to unlock the job
There also top1 dmg dealer from what I've heard aside from like top 0.0001% Black mage? Unless I'm wrong I'm still new
yeah, but only if you're really good and raid buffs on other classes make up the difference
Top 1 damage dealer isn’t everything
SAM is technically the "best" dps, yes, but the gap is so small it's irellevant
i outdps most SAM's on MCH lol
player skill is a much more important factor
Samurai bring 0 raid utility, and raid utility is important
Your a sweat 🤣😂
if i drift drill the voices get loud

So essentially the only way samurai is even good to begin with is if your super optimal on your rotations
no
SAM is easy to pick up hard to master
Very high skill ceiling at that
I mean they have 0 utility tho from what you guys said so why use a basic SAM when a basic dragoon or something can do similar numbers with utility is what I'd say
You have a lot of resources to keep track of
Can you keep playing as if you had the demo if your sub runs out?
no
once subbed always gotta sub
no going back to the trial
Do sam classes even have positionals?
They do
Jobs sorry*
The dps statistics are usually in rdps (raid-dps) which takes into account any additional dmg you provided via buffs to the party and assigns it to you
Still adjusting to the word Jobs lol its weird
Nobody really cares
So even with the "no utility" factored in SAM still "wins"
I say classes all the time
O ok not tryna get cooked within my first 5mins in the discord lol
Man u guys actually got me interested in SAM now
I already have red mage lvl 73
i think I'll pick up sam as my melee of choice
And 67 dancer iirc
i just prefer MCH wayyyy too much
I picked up sam because it felt really nice to play
Ultimately I think you should just go with feel
Try it out for 10 levels, see if you like the flow
i'm already using all 3 of my briancells learning savage fights
I think I'll just get red mage to lvl80 and finish shadowbringers with it then move to either SAM Monk or Ninja
But I will say sam difficulty spikes pretty hard at 70-80
try them all out and see what flows with ya
Does ninja have any high skill ceiling to it?
kinda?
Ninja is reasonably fast and dang fast during its burst phase
its hard to learn the mudras and burst window at 80
Naturally that job definitely called to me because... it's a ninja 🤣 but I genuinely dont like easy classes
It’s like invoker from dota to me if you know
and then it's like 1-2-3 until the next TA
Ninja is definitely not easy
what doesn't take practice
To be fair all jobs aren't that hard
Dancer
true
🤣
You just have to learn them
Anyone want to get a recruiter bonus for recruiting me?
But frankly the class design in ff14 is amazing
I feel like from what I've seen monk job in general definitely dosnt seem easy even if you learn it
Again, you practice how to play it
Yeah even with practice the word easy is still abit much to me
any good guide to level weaver?
I dont have a issue I just wanted to know the high skill ceiling jobs which you guys have told me
I was just saying I dont think saying every class is easy is true even with practice @elder root
that is true
Easiness is subjective
I mean if you want a high skill ceiling job I would suggest black mage tbh
Summoner also has decent complexity
ive seen mnk players that parse pink and they go "bro i just hit the buttons in the good order"
there aren't really any objectively hard jobs, difficulty is subjective
MNK and NIN are definitely high skill ceiling due to the speed that you go at
That is literally it for monk. Their difficulty purely comes from being so fast and having to hit positionals under pressure
monk is just dang easy if you get the routine down
I'm entirely open to using black mage but from what little I've heard the rotations of that class are actually crazy easy it's just the fact that you have to fully know every boss mechanics and your positioning is hard.. again I'm a noob so this could be wrong
Just what I've heard
thats kinda it
It's somewhat true, yeah
bosses are harder and have more shit going on
Basically
black mage wants to minimize movement as much as possible
Anyway just pick a class, play with it for a bit
so knowing stuff in advance is what you need
If you don’t like it, just try something else
Please don’t
🤣
Technically it does help the devs
That would... not really be beneficial.
But yeah I'm not doing that I enjoy the grind of lvling jobs
I think the lvling grind on here is much more enjoyable than WoW from my current experience
Wow omegalul
Heya! I've used one of the retainer's journey books to bump em' to 70, but I was wondering what sort of level 70 gear I could get easily/cheaply for retainers for the purposes of ilvl for doing ventures?
Yeah, they're arcanists, forgot to mention
Then yeet some scaevan on
Anyways thanks everyone I genuinely appreciate the fast feedback this community has
Don’t you get free armor if you buy the boost
!faq glamour
'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.
This community is definitely the best experience I've had
Aside from tanks playing spin the boss -_- 🤣
Those are just shit tanks
Only times bosses should turn are when they force turn for mechanic
Sometimes I wonder if I should turn the boss back after I dodge a mechanic
Even then good tanks can try to preposition for that pre enptively
Tbh if a boss turns for a Mechanic I don't bother turning it back. The melees have already adjusted to the rear
Unless the boss cleaves
Then I turn it back
I'm actually going to try a tank class when I get lvl 80 this week. It seems really enjoyable honestly and every tank job seems fun
As a tank, if your ping is decent enough, you can get back in the aoe once the spell cast is done with very minimal movement from the boss and no dmg taken.
Yeah that’s what I do too but wasnt sure if that’s how it should be
yeah don't bother turning the boss again if you already turned it for whatever reason (unless it cleaves)
animation and spell cast are two different things, meaning the animation will "hit" you but you won't be damaged
But even if it cleaves, the dps should be standing behind the boss anyway right
the fact that all tanks are fun and balanced to a like 2% degree is insane
Since they’re dodging the mechanic too
Yeah, it's just the ranged/healers
also fell cleave
That probably need to move
Even ranged, but idk
Depends on the mechanic it's turning for
When I’m playing ranged, I always run to the back of the boss
you don't get a set of class gear at 70, do you?
Some do
you do
Most actually
except for gnb/dnc
Job gear yes
I mean, this was ages ago that I was a level 70 arcanist
everyone but dnc and gnb get job gear at 70 via their job quest, yeah
you get a coffer
ah, but not gear that I can reclaim from the salvager?

It doesn't really matter if my retainer is a scholar or summoner, does it?
Just what gear it can equip
will there be warrior of light crafted weapons? like hades
Probably but also delete this
Whenever they want to do them after this expansion
There's not a real pattern with crafted primal weapons
I'm craftin Aesthete's gear and the Tools are WORSE than Handsain'ts even after the recommended meld.... why would they still be in guides then
806 Craft + 441 Control vs. 830 Craft + 455 Control
is it cuz of CP
Did you pentameld it?
Crafted gear is better over scrip gear cause they can be pentamelded
I'm just going off of this set https://etro.gg/gearset/9de5f86e-3813-463a-9b73-3d8e584ca95e
it dodesn't say to pentameld weapons
just gear
I posted this yesterday but had no response. Hopefully someone can help me with this.
Hey guys Idk if this is the place for this question but i'm stuck with my UI / general settings
I haven't played in over a year, just came back and all my settings/keybinds have all reset
My settings are definitely still there, but the game isn't using them
I'm not expert in crafting and BiS but i think that specific build is designed to reach certain tier to be able to macro some recipes with 100% thud making extra stat is wasted if you can 100% with non penta meld (penta meld is expesinve so if you can get away without it, why not?)
If you penta meld the weap, it'll surpass the handsaint
And CP in general is just extremely important
You don't really need more control/craftsmanship if you meet the minimum requirements
hey guys i got to the questline a time to every purpous but its locked saying i need to do something with crystal tower, how do i unlock or even get to it

you'll have to do some 24-man raids, they're casual content so don't panic 🙂
might be a bit of a silyl question but is there an option to add speech bubbles on top of players or people who speak?
Afaik there is no such option, all chat is shown via chat log
I believe there's a mod for it, but not a part of the actual game
okay thanks
does it matter what grand company i choose?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
who has the most tank Mitigation for supporting their team
the answer is Yes
Dark Knight probably wins just because tbn can be cast on others, but I wouldn't put it on a pedestal because of that
how long does it take to clear potd 1-100? :o
a few hours
ik every tank is good but
More if you're solo
from what ik drk wins 1st
nah
it does not
||IK DONT JUDGE||
all the tanks do pretty much the same things, in terms of mitigation
can i do it in duos
you can do it w/ up to 4 ppl
it scales depends on the number right
nope
everything is of equal difficulty whether you're in a full party, running solo or duo
It's a pain with 4 people, which makes the solo title one of the biggest flexes in the game
^
what about warrior
what about warrior?
yes, it has the most self sustain
noice ima make him for solo content
how do i get to The Diadem
after barrier breaks mana restored ?
Talk to an NPC to the left when you enter the Firmament
They're in a tent on the northern part of the plaza
which of the following eden raids is the fastest in terms of completion time?
Not exactly. It makes your next flood/edge free
There's one option to go to the diadem and another to appraise materials
You have to be a miner, botanist or fisher
Above level 20
You have to be a gatherer to enter at all
you have to talk to all the NPCs that sort of "show you around" the area. the first one is right next to the board in the center, it's a quest chain
talk to that one and it'll take you from one to the next until you've done them all then you can talk to the diadem guy and he'll give you the option
Any cheap way to get 300 ilvl gear after stormblood?
am softlocked to progress MSQ

thankies
What to do if i attended a eternal bond ceremony but my invitation didn’t turn into 2 minions?
Still got the invitation in my inventory, eb was 2 days ago
Can you get the enemy/target hp in %?
Yeah it’s something in the settings
Wait im watching a eureka full relic armor sets and the weapons are 100% the same as the reward you get at finishing the job quest but eureka ones are shiny, same thing with the armor it looks exactly the same as teh reward from the coffer you get
im currently on Aether/Adamantoise and am looking to move to a world that has a bigger raiding scene, where am i looking?
yeah its and upgrade
Aether is large for raiding
aether is already the raiding server, the tier has just been out for a while
you should've received the minions when the ceremony concluded
So sadge then
eureka has two armor sets, and several relic weapon models
the first armor/weapon set is dyeable version of the 70 artifact gear and glowing version of the weapon
the second armor set is called elemental armor and has non glowing and glowing variants
Can anyone clarify scrip farming as a miner for me? Im on lvl 57 and i unlocked the quest but im lost on whete to start, the guides i found are for later shadowbringers stuff

Hey guys I’m new to FF, I’m currently playing a summoner and I’m having a hard time with my hot bar can any one help me out😅
So I just unlocked a pet ability and I’m trying to equip it to a hot bar but it’s not allowing me to equip it to anything
that is your egi assault
its a separate thing because summoner gets 3 summons that use egi assaults, so depending on the summon thats out it uses a different attack
The ability I’m trying to equip is called flaming crush which is under the pet tab
you cant put those on a hotbar
yeah that is your egi assault I
you have egi assault for that
when you summon ifrit, egi assault I is flaming crush
which will change into a pet ability depending on what pet is out
SMN is jank
check out the description for the egi assaults
Oh man I got it now, so I don’t even need flaming crush on my hot bar. I’m using ifrit rn so it goes like this Egi Assault > Assault crimson cyclone > flaming crush
egi assaults I and II will dynamically change into whatever the appropriate skill is for the egi you have out
Egi assault IS flaming crush and Crimson cyclobe
Respectively
It tells the pet to do that skill
I see😅 well thank you guys so much I’m sure I’ll be back😂
we're here to help!
the Earring that came with EW preorder, does it also gives 30% extra exp for roulettes bonus?
hey all. I just unlocked Wonderous tails... how do you know what sticker goes where? or is it completely random?
random
but u can used second chance Shuffle to shuffle them if u have 7/9 or less, to try to get lines (btw, u gete xtra second chance points everytime u do a dungeon/trial and there is a first timer)
At 7 stickers, people reshuffle hoping to get lines
kk
Hey there! I've got an odd issue. I'm a returning player and just finished all MSQ including 5.55 patch quests, but for some reason my tomestone of revelation weekly cap is at 450, where all other ppl have 900/week. Anyone got an idea what I'm missing?
Can you take a screenshot?
It should be 450/900 for you
when did you log in last?
sure
that's weird

i did relog a few times today...
reload your game/restart your computer?
I’d Submit a bug report
Yeah, done that as well. installed the game completely fresh
Okay, thanks 🙂 i'll do that ^^
Is it possible to solo an ARR extreme at level 60?
Doubt it
Most likely no.
i wouldn't recommend it
Just look for/ask someone to set up a pony farm, because you’re probably a trial player
best way to go about it if you're on the FT is to ask NN for some help
is worth to keep any low level materia, or am I safe if I sell, for example, every materia up to lvl 5?
safe to sell, its easy to get more later
Only used for arr relocs
Not on the free trial. I'll just solo it with my main class since it's for WT
up to which level do u reccomend me to sell? I've kepot almost every materia I got in the game, but it takes too much space
What is NN?
ah ok, then plenty of ways to get help!
Novice Network!
a chat where sprouts get help from mentors in-game
also the closest thing to a worldchat in the game
How do I join back Novice Network?
if you're a sprout, ask a player with a crown on
But I lost my sprout...
if your not a spourt, become a crafting mentor
71 and reached ShB...
Then you shouldn’t really need it
kaiten only works for weapon skills ?
Actually I do lol
I am a noob and just rushed MSQ
yep, and Midare
I assume this is for trade mentor?
Even midare ??
Tbh I never joined NN. Everything I learned about the game was from friends, watching YouTube, asking questions in Discord servers, or figuring it out on my own
Yes
how do I Use compass so I can find these balls so I can unlock flying ?
(only use kaiten on iaijutsus)
yes, with kiaten its 1,200 Pot attack
The mentors in my server are great though people though especially Kineko-chan
key items menu, click and use, or throw it on your hotbar
i've been using kaiten for midare
key items?
oh ty ! ^^
how do i obtain the magna roader mount
What level are you @leaden ginkgo
80
bozja btw
idk tho i just tried samurai on bozja to try him lv 80
all i can see is 60k dps
Can’t. It was a previous seasonal PVP reward.
is that normal
BSF isn't quite the same as base game
since stats are synched but theres buffs from items
didn't use any items
samurai top dps ?
it is slightly higher than other dps
but has no raid buffs
if you wanna play sam go for it
no utility but big numbers
ye
nice trade
👍
i guessed
might be a good benchmark
ye
all though i need to play the job more to learn its rotation
all i do just spamming buttion
to much offcd

Is Bozja like PotD/HoH where you powerlevel from 71 to 80?
Yes
Is that from The Balance?
yep
Aah ok thanks
hey, i need some help. i have a quest to use the duty finder to enter the Tam-Tara Deepcroft but everytime i try it just searches fro chocobo racing. ???
@tough mirage what does it say here?
hmm once you wear something that you can auction, it then binds it to you so cant auction it ?
Yes.
Though more accurately once you use it in combat/crafting/gathering or as glamour
if I leave the map opened and a fate appears, does it appear in the map, or do I need to close and open map to see it?
it appears on the map
nice, thxs
or actually, I know it does if it's close
but otherwise idk
I'm pretty sure it shows up
Only fates with world bosses don’t appear on the big map, for the most part.
It will show while open
So stuff like Odin, Ixion, Archaeotania
yeah, but i wanted to know if the map refresh automatically, showing them just when they appear
or I must close and open it to see the new ones
Mini-map is real-time
mini map is the circle or square?
Both
ok, thxs
I meant to type both are real time fat fingers

does gunbreaker have kinna weap and potd
When endwalker comes out, will I be able to buy a complete edition that includes it? It feels weird to buy complete edition now when endwalker would include the previous expansions too
When do I use Manafication at 60 RDM 

when you have 40/40 mana
the second you get 40/40 or higher pop it
So you use it to toss out your melee combo faster
exactly
And it gives a magic buff later to buff the combo
anywhere between 40 - 60
optimally 50 since you get the most mana
but that promotes bad habits later on
using manafication at 40 generates the same amount of mana if you do it at 60
yeah, 49/50 would be great
it's a pain in the ass offsetting mana when they balance
acceleration 
hiya, so I'm working on getting a treasure map (70/80 maps) group setup with my FC, and I was curious what group comp is usually used for that? 2 heal / 2 tank / 4 dps or something different?
Most of us aren't geared perfect, roughly ~400-450 for most of our avg. ilvl, since a few of us are just finishing ShB now and haven't gotten any higher gear.
generally just 1 tank 1 healer's fine
rest being DPS is better
the ilevel is scaled down too for 80 maps iirc so it's not the world's biggest deal
yeah it's synced to 505 nvm 
80 people should be fine though
oh! okay thank you sm! I've only done lower level ones with friends so I wasn't completely sure!
How do I bring up the window with Cloud and Tifa talking? (the how to use chat guide)
remember: hit the little gold nerds for more cash
Chat options then log filters
Still cant find it
If i have leveled up my retainer’s botanist job level, then switch to miner, will the botanist level go back to 0?
gold nerds? (again, forgive me for not knowing what that is, we've only done like 60s and haven't made it too far in those lmao)
Golden namazu
golden namazu and golden faust
there's two of them so i just called them nerds for fun
Log filters
So I’m about to hit Post Game RR. I hear it’s a wall. Is it really that bad?
Filler that can be skipped with little problem?
and doesn't give much xp on top of that
you'll want to pay attention to 2.4 and 2.5 stuff since it sets up HW
hey all... Gear in your Armoury Chest that is greyed out when trying to give to Retainer... what do I do with it if I cannot sell it?
So the Shiva questline, final questline, and skip everything else?
sell it to vendors, desynth it, turn it in for seals
i mean you can skim it for the most part yeah
you'll also need to do the hard primals and crystal tower raids
turn it in for seals? this sounds interesting... how do i go about that?
can i get the kinna weapon by clearing potdo 1-100 one time?
!faq GC
like Flames
no
like captain and private
once you hit a certain rank you unlock expert delivery
which turns green+ gear into seals
Also do you still recommend grinding to HW before trying new jobs?
I hear HW opens up a lot of shit
can i get help at holy heir
which you can exchange for different mats
HW has more jobs open when you start iy
i did this
like Dark knight Machinist and Astrologian
Damn, really want to play BLM. Oh well
!faq altlvlguide
you cna use that to get another class up if you want
can i get help at holy heir
also Gunblade @ 60
Will do thank you
GNB isn't locked by story its just get to lvl 60 and own ShB
What quest are you doing, and is your gear up to snuff
my gears fine im tryna kill gideon
thx for this... Expert Delivering a whole buch of low gear
Is queue finding in later levels faster? i wait for like 30-40 minutes for dungeons and sometimes even an hour for trials
i am lvl 52 btw paladin
With roulettes it's mostly the same through. Though tank ques in general shouldn't be that long
What am i doing wrong ;-;
Crystal Tower
Make sure you got all 4 languages checked in the duty finder settings
^
Wait
do you have all your duty finder languages on?
was gonna say
i can do that?
yes
yes
OK tank ques for 24mans are usually on the longer sidr
you should do that
But still
English is ofc the main one
The cog
the gear to the left
Click the settings button
little cogwheel in the duty finder top left
AHHH
*german
Yes
I mean... those people probably turned on all their languages
ah right xD
and the df never tells you which language setting it used to match
so you never know
-> default to english
Okay
My 40 min crystal tower queue just went over in 2 min
after selecting those languages
if i only knew that earlier uff thanks
What's the difference between "play all" and "repeat" in the orchestrion?
Will repeat go through the playlist in a loop or only the one song selected while play all only go through once?
ty
What are these and how do I get more of them?
!faq poetics
can i get carried on a quest
nope
Not solo instances
What quest is giving you this much trouble
gideon
what quest?
Keep gear up to date and do whatever mechanics
holy heir
that's not a quest that I can find
Nor can Kupo, which means...
ff14
Take a picture of your screen with all your current quests
im on ps4 lol i cant
Take a picture with your phone
then use your phone
hey can i confirm my math here?
at level 25 and below, 2 overpower is the same potency against 2 targets as heavy swing+maim against 1 target (520)
at level 26+, 3 overpowers is only stronger against 3+ targets (1170+) since heavy swing+maim+storm's path is stronger on 1 target (920) than 3 overpowers on 2 targets (740)
Sounds like good math

Repeat only plays one song on loop.
Play all goes through the songs in order.
is there a point of no return for quests in this game ?
like can i get to a point were i cant accept an old quest
because of msq progress ?
also where do i find the folder that has my hud layout for each character so i can copy it to a different character?
No
Nope
no, you can always take all side quests
ok thx
There’s a few points of the story that imply a point of no return, but that’s only in terms of storyline
There is a tiny bit of story branching at the end of Bozja, but the game very clearly tells you that this is a thing
I just need to farm potd 51-60 over and over again for the kinna weapon right? theres no need to clear 1-100?
makes me laugh when i see Viva La Dirt League and the guy is like "i just have a few loose ends to tie up" and the NPC forces him out of Honeywood and suddenly all the quests end because the NPCs died and he has like 91% completion lmao
You need to beat floor 100 at least once to get kinna weapons
Besides that yes you can just farm 51-60
sounds about right

Newb Central here. I have no click and can't seem to figure out how to throw a Firesand stick at a the Rock of Rancor. Please send help lol
probably use it in your key items and you'll get a ground placement thingy on your cursor
In your quest list to the right you have the item icon, if you click on it it becomes a ground aoe that follows your cursor
What's the most efficient way of using GC Seals?
First of all ranking up, so you can unlock the gear turn in (for even more seals)
- squadrons which is nice I suppose
which version of the hyur is the skinny one that fits the 2b model?
Once you have that you can just convert the seals into glamour prisms and some mats
i know one is thicker than the other
nothing super fancy tbh
is the lucian gear still available/a way to obtain it?
No
midlander, probably?
Coming back September
highlander is too beefy
oh well I will keep questing until then
ye i think its midlander thanx
trying to fantaisa for like the 20th time now lmao
i change race like every week
ah, a fantasia addict
i have the i cant decide syndrome
Are healers the best damage dealers in pyros?
what's the best use for Barrage on a BRD?
are the nier raids only at lvl 80 or are there previous ones (like one in stormblood or smthn)
they're the shb alliance raids, so just lvl 80
thanks!
In ShB does the path matters?
You do them both
Simultaneously?
you go to the other after you finish the first
You need to do them both
Oh okay
To progress
Excuse me is there like a skill that increases fire starter ( like more crit or dex)... something along those lines or just random
Can't increase proc chances
am i supposed to get another proc of straight shot ready when i use it?
it doesn't seem to happen
!action Barrage
"additional effect: grants straight shot ready"
is there any job that gives me extra text in stormblood like dragoon for heavensward ?
not even close to that extent, but yeah ^
3 words
same for shadowbringers ?
I think you get more flavour text just for having completed coil before in sb than most jobs/roles
I think Shadowbringers msq has no unique lines for any job
ok thx
means the quest is scaled down to your level
Like Beast tribes do
should i be using tomahawk at all?
i usually used ranged attacks on my tanks to initiate
I use it to pull mobs in dungeons
Cool, thanks
Good way to grab a pack of linked enemies really quick so your rdps can start doing their thing.
but i shouldn't use stuff like piercing talon or throwing dagger?
You can use those too.
only if there is absolutely no other option
I think Tomahawk has more range?
it's better than doing nothing
Only if it doesn't break combos as well
a few weeks ago i was told piercing talon should NEVER be used by people in this channel
No all the ranged gcd pulls are 15 yalms
You use it if you're going to be away from the boss long enough that your combo bonis will be gone
Basically don't use ranged skills on melees if it breaks combos or if the Downtime is like really short
I mean in 99% of situations you shouldn't use piercing talon
Away from the boss for 15 yards of distance for more than 15s almost never happens
it breaks combos and is abysmal dmg
But sometimes you don't have a combo going and have no other option whatsoever
If it is happening, figure out why, and don't do it again
in which case you might as well use it
If and only if you absolutely have to
i also wish i knew how far a yalm actually was while in the middle of combat. like i kinda wish it had a hud element like in STO where it showed the distance to your current target
Should never be used as a crutch in lieu of doing things better
I can't use '^' (the up arrow) and '~' ingame, when i do the up arrow it fills in a blank and says; 'this command does not exist'. I'm a massive fan of saying Hello ^~^ so its very frustrating. If anyone knows what the problem could be let me know 🥺
enmity plugin used to show your range vs your target, but that hasn't worked in a very long time
It's easy enough to get it by feel, since you know when actions will change colour to be usable
it just feels a bit unintuitive to have to guage the distance based on memory alone
Oh, I just realized you asked about a tank ranged pull ability use vs. two dps ranged abilities.
There's no point using the dps ones.
For all the reasons mentioned above.
It has its uses in deep dungeon content
yeah i've been told i can cover 15y by walking normally faster than a 2.5s GCD
Whether it's single pulling from a pack or kiting to do some damage
Its the same concept when you're in combat with a tank tbh you don't want to break the combo
which i didn't believe, but i guess i have to trust lol
Even facepulling with aoe is often a better choice for mobbing trash
i don't really know a character's walking/sprinting speed, or mount speeds
piercing talon is literally never used
Since you hit every target rather than the 1 you ranged pull
there's zero world where you'd actually use it because dragoon's combos are so long and using it will be a severe loss
there's no 1% where you'd actually want to use it
if i did use it, i would never be in the middle of combo
it's just a dead skill
Not on the harder DD floors where you'd get destroyed with multiples
Which is why it's worth mentioning the exception
Thats true
it also cancels raiden thrust at later levels i think
so even out of combo it's just

But deep dungeon has slightly different rules anyways
i'm not even high enough lvl drg to know what raiden thrust is lol
yeah fair point, since drg loops their combo piercing talon becomes even jankier than on the other melees
You don't go gung-ho willy nilly w2w
It's a skill you get later. Basically if you do a combo correctly your next Full Thrust will turn into Raiden Thrust instead, which deals more dmg
ive got every job to at least 50 but there's some i hardly touch at all
!action Raiden thrust
ah, 76
It replaces the first step of your combo
i have 4 jobs above 70
oh sorry yeah it replaces True Thrust, not Full Thrust
my mistake
(so many thrusts)
Assuming you do your positionals correctly on fang and claw/wheeling thrust
what is the best way to level an alt job? my highest jobs are monk and gnb at level 61 but i wanna try another job
!faq altlvlguide
thank you
where can I see how many bicolor gemstone do i have?
hello im new, is there any links on guide toward certain classes for pve open world?
im trying samurai, its hard....died instantly
All classes are viable
!faq samrotation
use that and just ignore all abilities you do not have yet
the rotation stays roughly the same, just more stuff that gets added on
Unless you're fighting stuff way over your level or like
Soloing a fate boss
I csnt think of anything that killed you instantly in open world
i think an important question is what you're trying to fight and how many are you trying to fight?
also important to note that the starting gear for sam is kinda... shit? 😅
is there a command that mutes the entire game
you should get some ironworks
yeah, i'd replace all the new jobs with ironworks/shire instantly


maybe I should check the uh
