the deaths were most in the bosses
well did you not do mechanics
Do healers have a "best rotation" ? or not because they must react to who has low health?
zone wide chat is /shout
Thanks
The first boss of Qitana Ravel, when the statue signals where AOE will be, the boss attacks the other half, either way I got damage, what could I do?
I assume like other mmos the higher item lvl piece and correct stats the better I assume? like for some reason there's a blue that's 290 ilvl at level 70 vs a green 350 ilvl at lvl 70 too. Is it because the green is from the new expansion or something so it power creeps the blue? like the blue costs x10 more gil
the boss signals the area he hits, and the statue signals where it will hit
it leaves a small slice
i just got a pair of pants from a quest but therye not in my bag and im not wearing them?
ah ty
the boss always attacks the other half, or should I need to see his signal (that I haven't seen yet)
ilvl>everything
the hand that is glowing is the one he hits with
and its an exact half slice of the arena
so he will be turned
that half slice isn't from the statue?
gear within a level cap also have a fairly large ilvl range that got increased as patches came along
the blue one is from the statue
It's from the boss and the statue
So for level 60 gear started at i160 or so and went to i270 at the end
And level 70 went from 290 to 400
yeah, I know the statue signal which part to avoid, but boss rotates and attack, to me it seemed at a random position, how can I know where is he gonna attack?
His hand glows
raised arm
its a half slice next to the glowing arm
yeah, but after the hand glows, IIRC he rotates
yes.
I don't have shadowbringers... if i buy the digital Endwalker expansion... will I instantly unlock shadowbringers?
no
endwalker isnt out
The hand doesn't change just because he moves
You just visualize it based on his position
XD
he could slam at any angle within there
but because his movement before attacking, there is no guarantee I can avoid that?
ah that's lame what a rip shadowbringers is $39.99 and endwalker is $39.99 lol. And it says on the page that endwalker includes shadowbringers
You can always avoid it
just look at how he moves
There will always be a safe spot
he moves and attacks in less than 1 second IIRC
they can't deliver a product that's not out
not really
I received the attack 2-3 times, died in the last one XD
You have more than a second\
the Endwalker code just happens to come with SHB and Stormblood
I think you're just struggling to see everything at once
My first clear through 'The Qitana Ravel.' I left story scenes immediately after the clear in. --Find me on Twitch! twitch.tv/neiloch
here
he roars, hand glows
lozatls scorn does the statue
is there a way to bring my key setup over from one installation to another on a different computer?
and then fury is him moving and using the hit
i named mine pog and im 99% sure at least one other person has named their chocobo pog
you can upload your UI settings to the servers from character select
so i dont think so
hmm it looks like you can buy shadowbringers key for steam? i assume the key will also work on square enix web?
no
The only time you can cross between the two is non-steam trial to steam full game
yeah, I just watched a video and it seems I have enough time to move, It only hit me as healer, because I pass half the time watching only the party list to see who has low HP
mechanics are super predictable
You'll get used to it
no need to watch the party list if you know what does damage and how
Yeah, I just don't watch anything when I'm healing
My eyesight is in the party list and my hotbar to see if CD timers are over
Personally, I don't look at the party list unless there's someone specific I need to heal
if it looks like everyone took damage, pop medica2, target tank, regen, focus on boss again
I watch it all the time to see who needs healing
It really is not your job to babysit anyone
understandable but that's what aoe heals are for
Which relic weapon is the best looking?
if you're getting hit because you're not looking, then don't focus on the party list
subjective
there is no "best looking" anything
i could say the pyros lance for drg is best looking and id be correct
even though it looks like ass imo
When tank took a lot of damage, I need to cast both regens, 1 barrier, Essensial Dignity, and then Benefic II continuous times until tank is ok
you can just regen and dignity
and its enough
It's that I'm still trying to figure out how to get better
You don't need to heal to full
^
is it nice? yes.
is it needed? no.
Don't faceroll your cooldowns because someone took some chip damage
trust your regens
Celestial Opposition didn't heal almost anything
If you need to do this either you're undergeared, your tank is undergeared, they're not using mitigations, or any combination of these or they pulled too many mobs
its a regen too
!action celestial opposition
I'm at ivlvl 402 in a lvl 75 dungeon
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 100
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
because it's literally less than cure 1/benefic 1 on the first tick
trust 👏 your 👏 regens
yes
That's a Benefic II
I really struggle with that, I always heal up to 100% to the tank, for DPSs I only regen them
You have Essential Dignity
screenshot this and like, tape it to your monitor
trust 👏 your 👏 regens
Ignore their health bar
The Balance reccomends basing my rotation off of engage/disengage cycles with bosses. Specifically for magic phase.
pld?
So does that mean I'm supposed to only throw it out when I know the boss is going to be out of melee?
yeah
I completely forgot about that, for the past few months I remembered it was only to heal AOE lol
now if the tank is pulling wall to wall, of course you want to focus the tank first
No
but if they're not immediately dying the only health point that matters is the last one
read your tooltips
please
But you can adjust it for uptime @halcyon grail
I don't blame you for forgetting, ASTs tooltips have both stances in them
They were pulling 1-2 groups at a time, because at beginning I said I'm still practicing, my problems were only with bosses
Then you definitely don't need all of that healing
bosses it's literally only the last health point that matters
It just seems like the stack combo does more damage on average - Wouldn't it make sense to use magic phase for disengage times?
yeah, I have it all in my mind, is just that one I forgot, for real XD
assuming they're in 400 gear anyways a regen will take care of most autos
ASTs cooldowns do double duty as single and aoe heals just because that's how the cooldowns happen to be
So I'm fine just regen and only do direct healing when he's less than 25% ?
Confiter has 1200 pot it’s really really good with buffs
fair
if the tank's HP bar isn't 0, you're doing your job
My problem was with bosses only
now ideally you should keep it at around ~50% or more but you get plenty of warning in advance when tankbusters happen
assuming you're watching the cast bar
also if the tank has vuln stacks yeah you wanna heal more
Making sure I'm good on this - Start off with the DoT, do the stack combo, then alternate between that and magic phase?
I put target focus always, but only to see boss HP, I never watch castbar as healer
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty much
Install cactbot then...?
I use it mostly when I'm DPSing in my static to see to what react
good advice
Some fights may fuck with it so that’s why some guides recommend adjusting for it @halcyon grail
fair enough
Like E11s
So is HOH mainly for 61-70?
Should I know the tankbusters for every boss in advance if I'm healer? Or can I "know" if an attack is tankbuster if the castbar is slow?

best way to "know" is if it sounds like one
"stonefist" is pretty tankbuster-y
and thats the tb on that boss
anything that says anything about hitting something really hard
is probably a tb
if the boss is winding up, it's probably a tank buster
So I must see how the boss moves and sounds? Real question, because everytime I only watch his position and his AOEs, nothing more
sometimes
wow refugee here. I just started playing FF 14 and goto lvl 19 and got my buddy to play as well. i was wondering sense i am on the free trial how can we play together sense he just started a fresh char?
yes you can
of couse once you know the cast name you can ignore the boss animations
as long as you are on the same data center
Many bosses require following their animations.
but every boss has a tell, whether it be the cast bar or an animation
The castbar may be the same but it may be a variation of the attack depending on animation.

Or there may even be no castbar.
If there's another class you're interested in playing, you can pick that up and you'll be level 1 again
or did you mean something else?
the only time you need to look at the party list is if there's a mechanic that requires a heal to full
You won’t be able to do story together since it’s solo but you can do dungeons and overworld stuff with them
otherwise if everyone looks okay, they're probably okay
So it's like playing punch out? XDD
well im further in the MSQ then he is and he wants to play with me like doing quest together and stuff like that
If you want to party up together, just ask around in one of the major city states
aw damn
then I must heal less, so my eyes are more freely and not watching party list too long, so I can watch castbar and boss animation to see when a tankbuster is incomming?
The MSQ is kind of a solo affair when you're not in a dungeon
yes
but if you want to wait until he's caught up in story, there are a ton of other things to try out
if it looks like nobody is dying at a glance, then they're fine
Other classes, crafting, gathering, casino, etc.
also, use the healthbar over the characters as well
if they look fine, they're fine
you can look at the field and not have to focus on the party list
Is the Heavensward relic weapon as big of an gil *sink as the ARR relic was? Remember spending around 800k gil on that one
good advice, I never did that
it took me some getting used to as well but I only use the party list to target now if I have to, there's always enough time between mechanics to figure out who needs heals
Poetic sink moreso
the game never just throws mechanics at you, there's always enough time between them to figure out how to heal
unless it's explicit like quintuple cast in a later fight 
how big can this number get??
Oh thats not too bad then. Keep capping on those all the time ^^
road to 70 + commercial engineering + food bonus + 100% quality + rested (maybe)
Still costs like 17k from start to finish but it’s a lot more doable
anyone know a level 50 goldsmith macro?
check #doh-dol-lounge pins
I have Battle Effects in Show All for everyone because I like to see the effects, I only put them limited in savages/extremes because the fights are serious there.
Do you recommend me to have it always on Limited so I can see clearly the boss movements when I'm healer so I can identify its tells to tankbusters?
That’s what I do
?
Curious about the above. I'm always on limited for party and others
I use show all like a dumbass but with only 4 people in the party the effects are pretty light already as is
But recently switched to full effects.
shouldn't tank busters be discerned from the boss action meter?
i like the pretty effects
tank busters are just like any other boss cast
I like the pretty effects too XDD
usually
And only just realised ||ultima weapon in prae gives off a light during the "look to the light"|| portion
Its a bit hard to get used to all the effects though
wow people have 10s of millions of gil now lol. Is that the new normal?
The only time show all bites me in the ass is when it comes to bozja lmao
assuming you don't buy anything that's always been normal
there's very few gil sinks in the game
tankbuster always have slow castbar?
On that note, does anyone know if the light appears under full effect for 'others'?
but it's designed at a speed controller users can usually react to them
slower than its other castbars so I know THAT attack is gonna be a tank buster
why specifically us 
Its gonna be troublesome to switch between battle effects for different content
all content is playtested using controllers and keyboard/mouse setups
according to blog entries
but what does that imply.... controller users slower than kbm?
I never got an answer about why the devs are promoting these twitch streamers
we don't know
simps
Like one of them hasn’t even gone live for a week, but they’re qualified for the promotion
we don't know
should I do the optional dungeons after level 50
you don't have to
if you want to clear some blue quests off of the map
@spare hare for the playing experience only yes. They're quite interesting to play through and some of them have a little bit of story tied to them
You'll probably get to them eventually when doing the 50/60/70 roulette
Any1 in Omega server is free to help me with a trial? XD
o ok they only give like 20 poetic so i thought it wasnt worth
Can retainers get any benefit from exp boosting gear
first time bonus is always 100
so if you need some, that's an option for gearing up at 50/60/70
no, because retainer EXP is usually granted like quest EXP
A puzzler yeah, even from a business standpoint I'm having a hard time figuring it out. The only thing I can think of (in my sleep deprived brain anyway) is that it creates some kind of buzz, and with Asmon being around now maybe it just seemed like a good idea to promote streamers as a whole.
that being said, it's not like you need it. the leveling venture is stupid post venture EXP rework
so just get em to 80 and then spam quick exploration till you're out of ventures
basically
or specific ventures for materials
I use mine to get stuff for dwarven mythril stuff
both samurai 😛
leather and skins

enable the hud thing
in gshade
need xivsomethingui and overwriteui
so your ui doesnt get weird
can free trial accounts have the twitch event black fat chocobo?
no
It’ll just stay there until you have the full game
the coins that we get from the nier raids
But you can’t access it in trial
hello, i have a glamour question if anyone can give me insight. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/ec70306316e/ im trying to get this piece but the npc thats suppose to have doesnt have it in any of the available tabs. is there a quest line to unlock the gear sets?
as it's a mogstation code and not an FFXIV Online Store code
now those dont have weekly limit right?
ah thanks!
you'll have to get it from the centurio seal vendor in ishgard
it literally doesn't exist as a poetics item anymore
ah okay, ty for the help
the coins that we get from the nier raids
now those dont have weekly limit right?
they're still limited
the one from tower specifically
only savage was unlocked
which is the best way to get twines? e11s?
yes, since it's no longer locked
what camera mode are you using
legacy or standard
either way it'll be under control > camera in your character settings I believe
I use stormshade and it doesn't really bother me
it's kind of stylized
I like my ff14 to be really colorful and poppy
works now. ty
it's the mxao im like 99% sure
it has like 100 presets
yes
gshade has this feature where you can make the ui get ignored
which you will want to use
mxao does that all the time
is it better to go for relic weapons or just buy the blue weapons using poetics
which ones
like
arr?
poetics
hw sb as well
shb relic is the best weapon in the game currently
can I just google that and get it to play nicely
yes
kk
gshade is very easy to install
~~i also have a pretty fps heavy preset if you want it ~~
let me put it this way
in sunlight my limsa looks like it's covered in snow it's so bright white
umm ig as ur leveling
dont do relics as youre leveling
sure you can toss me your preset
unless you really like how they look
I just have a load of random shaders I run in stormshade till I got something I liked the look of
here it is, its not for everyone but i personally like it
nah I dont care for the looks that much
same thats how i made mine
then dont do any
except for the shb one
because theyre just glams
so do i unlock the quest for shb one at max lvl
hey guys what should i put in here? how much spell speed should i do before dumping the rest into Det
sorry its WHM
WHM
personally would do max det and then dump the rest into sps
Which relic is this?
after the 15 raw emotions one
are there any macros for a level 50 goldsmith?
ok ill do all crit/det and rest into sps
that's a doc pinned in #doh-dol-lounge that has macros
ty guys
Any macros for a level 1 miner
No
i dont see a #doh-dol-lounge
you need to get the dol/doh role
no
Heyo, so i recently got a Strifer set and was curious if i should put in in armory or glamour thingy
it can go into the armoire, so put it in that
So then the only ways to boost DOH/DOL xp gain is with gear that applies to all classes, food, and sanctuary/FC buffs?
Yes but DoH/DoL level very quickly anyway.
they also have exp manuals that you can buy with gc seals and yellow scrips
The yellow scrip one is the best of them
is there a cluster farming dedicated discord?
Do both people have to sign up for a ceremony reservation for the external bond? I thought only I did and now my partner can’t get the option to get in 😦
hmm i'm confused it says online i'm supposed to get a full set of 115 samurai gear... all i have is a weapon
the quest gives you a coffer for the armour, need to open it
Does your partner have a blank invitation?
awesome ty
I think he threw it away, did we need that??
Yes that's your key in
which exarchic piece would be the cheapest to craft?
where can I go to meet a girl to be my gf

Damn that sucks. Thanks 😭
i'll be your gf for a small amount of 5mil gil a month
like the most populated city or something
only 5m?
is there no dating system to find somebody
that doesnt answer my question
does strength and dex do nothing for samurai? in the stat I don't see any mention of samurai
strength is your base stat for samurai
it's not mentioned but everything scales from it
The stat description does mention samurai's arms.
It shares monk gear, and monks love their strength stat
whats the biggest city with lots of girls
Lisma, It’s full of degenerates
lvl 60 job gear is good enough for a while while saving up for the shire set right?
ok thx
famfrit has something called the jades its like 11 catgirls in latex posing in a triangle
so if you're on primal come and visit :D
Can you used ur pet on the free trail also mount?
yes
npc or players? I want to find myself a gf.
players but i dunno if they are real gorls

i'm sure you could pay someone to pretend
not really appropriate for this channel
This doesn't seem relevant to this channel.
How do you equip my doggo couse I can't click companion
I mean idc if theyre not real girls as long as they are in game thats what matters.
you can use minions and mounts as a free trial player yes. minions, once you've used the item, can be summoned via the minion guide
That means quit being weird skele.
it was a question lyon
its not appropriate for this channel
Wasn't an invitation to debate.
how do you collect something again after buying it from the market place? i'm thinking wow terms like mailbox but i don't see anything on the map called mailbox
where is it appropriate then
There are some dating XIV subreddits or forums out there. I'm sure you can find one if you search hard enough. Don't think folks want to invite romance and drama here, though.
its automatically put into your inventory
Probably not anywhere in this server.
or armoury chest if its gear
If you want to meet people then you can look up FFXIV dating discords I guess.
But we don't do that stuff here.
ok ill try finding one

does anyone know when jenova pop will be low enough for character creation
in a few hours
try in a couple of hours when people are likely to be asleep
or early in the morning
alright
whats the tankiest Melee DPS, and/or the dpsiest tank?
technically drg has the most defense
but it doesnt matter if you get hit
you still get rekt if you arent tanking
meant more for solo play/questing
most solo instances are designed to be clearable with any job
...well other than the instances in jobquests
agreed, and i played a monk to 50, and was constantly struggling to stay alive. Boosted to 60 astrologian before i quit last time, and now im back, and the astrologian jus ttakes forever to kill anything. IM just struggling to choose a job to play since so much has changed and i never played seriously to really get deep into anything, except maybe the monk
but last time i played monk, Heavensword was the main expac
if youre struggling to stay alive and not doing enough dps thats not a class issue
well i understand that its a me issue. But I dont think part of me ever fully gelled with a monk to play it better
you need to be geared accordingly and be doing your rotation correctly
in the case of AST its putting your dot and spamming malefic and using earthly star when you have it
and use your chocobo for overworld mobs
looks like i dont have earthly star yet. Ok thanks, I might explore some other classes anyway Or start over so i can learn the game again, thanks for helping with noobish questions
you can just level another job, youll be forced to do low level dungeons to do that
which is an easy way to relearn
Can anyone explain to me what bozja is and what you can do there? Just finished shadowbringers and been hearing a lot about it
an instanced are like eureka
idk what eureka is either lmao
its an open world zone with its own leveling system
its how you upgrade the shb relics
and story
and cosmetics
if you like matsuno or you think you might like matsuno, do it
and fun
i didnt know who tf matsuno was before i did bozja and now im like 1/4 through ffxii lol
its also good for leveling alt jobs from 71+
^^^
if you like grinding
what pieces should you give for grand company expert delivery?
Those that you don't have another use for.
there's so much but I never know what might be handy when leveling another job
Make sure to filter out items that are part of gear sets using the drop-down menu in the Expert Delivery window.
just use poetics to start; then replace with dungeon gears as you level
oh I mean is there any way to filter out real junk from stuff that could be handy when leveling an alt job
not without doing it manually no
ok jw
you have to make that judgement call yourself but it's pretty simple
i just keep all my poetics stuff
to start you should change your settings to equipment goes to your inventory first instead of your armoury
then place what you think is useful into your armoury to distinguish them
Also another question I had was do y'all pay attention to anything other than MSQ? I kinda skip anything that's not MSQ or job quest, unlocking Sb raids rn and I have no idea what the story is
yes
What the fuck
the raids have good stories
I'm logging in to XIV and hitting the play button
the only one that bored me was the alexander raids
you didnt install mods did you
what advice would you all give for trying to farm the rathalos mount? 😮
I just uninstalled and reinstalled TexTools but no mods no
Just now did it and maybe
you dont remember?
hey, I'm, planning to level up my doh jobs but the fact that I don't have access to the market board is frustrating to say the least. Should I buy the game before leveling them up or should I just grind dol jobs ? (I already have a code for the game, I'm just milking the freee trial)
open textools and click help > download index backups
then do a start over
then try launching the game again
^
@leaden ginkgo when you level all crafters and gatherers together then you dont really need the mb
Thanks Cerb
yeah but I'm asking if it's worth leveling the dol jobs instead of buying the game
after you beat HW you unlock an area that can power level doh/dol jobs
so its up to you
doing ishgard restoration right ?
yes
so uh, my fight with the big Magitek unit on the escape from Castrum Ceti is bugged, the unit is invulnerable and can't be attacked at all, what do?
yeah, but I don't know if it's worth going through the hastle of leveling the dol jobs
I'm already super overwhelmed with the crafting system
do I have to wait 20 minutes for the quest to fail and redo it
you dont need to level doh jobs
theyre optional
@tired hinge read the npc dialogue
did you destroy the shield generators?
It's not bugged
There's shield generators you need to destroy
They’re in the surrounding area, gotta look for em
where do i learn to tank if i boosted

do i just mash my keys
start with hall of the novice
Shouldn’t of boosted
i mean too late but woulda been nice toi know earlier
ty ^^ got it lol
i did a hall of novice and it literally just taught me not to stand in red circles
Yeah
That's pretty much all it does
It really sucks massive amounts of ass at actually teaching anything
ok ill look
What do you guys do with allegory after you have 510 gear?
you mean 520 gear from augmented exarchic?
you can use it to augmen the 510 to 520
How to do so is in the pins
otherwise can buy crafting materials to sell on the marketboard
ok im new sry
basically i geared out then went for red tokens only lol
the gridn to 520
gearing seems crazy i dont understand it
basiclaly do extremes?
Hey I am Tori I am from the EU, and I want to rp with people from mateus. Does someone know or is from the EU who will rp with me? (Can you poke me or DM me if someone is willing to rp with me, it will be appreciated.
is there a "total" count of bozja relic weapon requirements or a tracker/spreadsheet somewhere?
how do i sell stuff on amrket? i fish alot and want to sell my wares
oh right
thanks

oo i see it ty
how do i check my cords
what ilvl is the free gear given for the lvl 70 boost anyways?
@random girder weskalber guide wasnt even how to tank it was how to use abilities
Does anyone know if gear ilvl affects my character stats in bozja/zadnor, I seem to be below the ilvl sync yet still same hp as other ppol
No
ok thanks
You just need something in that slot
but i asked if u tank by mashing and everyone said no?
does gear rly matter in this game? I never feel any stronger lol
because using your skills correctly
is not mashing
You basically double your stats going from the start of a level cap’s to the top end gear
whys my taunt 30s cd
i cant set skull markers for dps to focus on while i generate threat
Like level 80 gear starts at i430 and ends at i530, but you basically double your stats
You generate threat just by attacking the enemy with tank stance on
yea it must start to feel like it when you get materia too
how do i use tank stance didnt even see that on my bar
What tank are you
dark knight
Grit
!action grit
o
x10 multiplier
You basically can’t lose aggro as long as you keep hitting the enemies
well know i feel like going to the hardest raid
Again you can play glad or marauder for a 100% from the start tank experience
im still doing realm reborn quests i think so the boost was a waste anyways
go open a party for ucob or uwu! have fun! 
yes it was
It’s a lot of set up
skip to shadowbringers
so for a new player i should do MSQ and the blue ones ? what about class quests ? cause the story now took me to another land and i still have a blue quest that i didnt finish .. am afraid its a class quest
You cant just skip arr. You gonna skip all way to start of shb
your jobquests are on the top of your screen, with the main scenario guide
the little ! under the msq guide
do those
You can just skip arr
Theres option for it?
There’s 3 different story skips
Guess i havent check online store often enough. My bad
yes
do those first
before msq
until you cant do them anymore
they unlock skills, and eventually your upgraded class (your job)
you get 1 every ~5 levels
ahhh .. so i should do "that old familiar feeling" ?
ok ty i guess i have to find a way to go back to the starting area
thanks for the help 
Use airship or teleport
how am i gonna buy a boost for $25 and they dont even give me a mount
Mounts are msq related
So story skip is what would do that
why buy a skip
now youre just gonna be a burden on anyone who gets you in their lobby cause you have no experience anda re going to be running higher level content
They already bought avskip
I think you need to proceed the msq then. Need to clear that envoy thingy
So you don't have to spend so many hours doing tons of fetch quests in ARR
that doesnt change what i said
i bought a boost not knowing it wouldnt skip everything but im gonna finish RR then skip the next one
ok will come back to it later
okay and now someone gets them in a hw duty and they have no idea what they are doing
Yeah that envoy quest basically serve as tour to 3 city states. Should be free to travel after it
You do not want to skip Heavensward
dont get why youd play a story mmorpg to skip the story, its like going to a theater then walking out 20 mins in then walking back in at the end
Maybe so. I could see people paying for skips on alts haha
ok ty
Sir this is #questions-and-help not discuss why people should not buy a skip
There WAS someone a while back here who's played the entire story on 5 different characters.....
if you want the story, dont skip it
well i dont really care about the story @leaden ginkgo just want to meet a girl, and do endgame content.
then skip to shadowbringers
and cutscene/dialogue skip through that
i wont i save that for the city
how am i gonna be a burden if i sit in defense stance and spam abilities
thats exactly how
you dont know what anything does
dont know any of the indicators
wont know any class mechs
My advice was to use marauder or gladiator since going from 1-80 can help understand your kit better
If people willing to learn, skipping or not is doesnt matter. They will understand it eventually
If they are unwilling to learn, they jusy dont give a shit even if they play the class from lvl1
^
so if im 510ish I should be using my revelation tombstones to buy cryptlurker gear right?
if they skip and want to go straight into end game content you wouldnt want a fresh sprout running a savage with you
especially as a tank
Yup
Good thing they can’t immediately do that
Since there’s still leveling story and raid unlocks
why are u so mad
If you’re not going to give constructive advice at all, then drop the subject
👀
Does the amber encrusted vilekin thing still work for crystal sands
Is reason mandatory?
k, probably user ID acting weird?
no it's only if we want to put a warning
lol
if i were to go about farming rathalos, what would i do?
Put up a Party Finder, say some joke about murdering him and stealing his scales, scream about the mount, then watch as folks march in.
You thinking about the EX trial or the normal one? You said farming so I assumed EX
im currently at lvl 45 and still playing ARR
is there a way to get a different mount early game apart from a chocobo?
u can buy that whale mount on mogstation for 40 bucks
the ex yea lol
Most of the mounts are fairly specific... so not really. You'll get two more from the Heavensward expansion story plus the opportunities for more
sorry noob question, where is the mogstation?
@dense hound ive gotten 14 scales already and most teams just leave after 2 lmao
!faq mogstation
@tribal shore its a website
Just gotta get lucky with folks, then.
so you say just progress through the game and the game will just give it to me?
are there any discords solely / or mostly dedicated to cluster farming (in alliances)
https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts Here are all the mounts in game, check a look
yes i am
ill sub after a month
There are 201.
Then just keep goin, buddy. You'll find stuff.
achievement points at jonathas in gridania
you also get another mount after beating are
arr
the ones with $ symbol are paid mounts?
it plays terras theme from ff6 if thats something youre interested in
i guess ill do just that
thanks mate
a flying mount im assuming?
all mounts fly
Personally, I would grow irrationally attached to the chocobo
Means you can buy on the marketboard
dont remember much of ff6.
been too long since i played lol.
would be nice to have the theme play to jog my memory
Or if not marketboard, a vendor. But it doesn't mean cash
You can filter out any mounts that cost real money by going to filters and ticking the box for "exclude premium"
There are only 30 of them.
mounts start flying late game or in ARR itself?
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
thank you again
Hi just started ffxiv and loving it. Im curious if i ahould be doing the crafting jobs at the start? Im about lvl 20 on my combat role. How should i be levelling up the crafting and should i do all or just a couple?
Sometimes when I place a card buff on a player (the regular 1-6, not the 2 bigger cards) as Astrologian it doesn't add a symbol to my divination gauge. Why's that? Is it rng or does timing (pre-combat or mid-combat) matter?
needs to be mid combat
you can draw pre-pull
but you need to play it during combat
Did... Did SE forget to actually give us dyeable versions of the Weathered weapons at level 80?
You can do it whenever you like though I'd recommend waiting until you're completed the MSQ first. If you really want to get into it it's recommended to level all eight crafters together as they share gear and are interdependent when it comes to crafted intermediate materials.
Unfortunately there are none yeah
But ???
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So I just unlocked dark knight yesterday, I've been playing paladin, and I wanna level dark knight as my paladin is already about to hit the HW level cap even though i just started it. Outside of roulettes, should i just spam dungeons to level, or is there any better way?
yup
Thanks! Is it pretty much just more Gil? If thats the case I may skip it entirely. But if it gets me some glamour...
rad thank you guys. I need to learn some dungeons better anyways, so its not too bad
Some glam at high levels goes for a lot of gil.
What crafting do i need to make glam
I bought a tank top and work pants for 750k gil before.
all
thats why you do all the crafters
ok not fishing
It varies, but WVR tends to have the most glam options. That said, you’re not going to make expensive glams anytime soon. I agree with Lyon that you should leave it for later.
or botanist
Ok ill leave it for later then. Do the crafting levels get the exp boost bonuses?
Thx guys
oh also, should i be too concerned about gear for a dark knight? i just bought a full set from the vendor in ishgard so id have every piece, and i imagine im gonna outpace things quickly, though not as quickly as i did with my paladin

Can I add friends on crystal if im on primal
no
😦
maybe when data center visit drops? we don't know yet tho
is rdm still the best/only really viable job for solo deep dungeon content?
has anyone purchased ps4 edition after already having PC edition?
i have PC edition from SE store, do i buy the ps4 edition from SE store or PS store?
can you /tell across data centers?
no
alas
later this year we get data center visit and that may change
but we don't have the details yet
every job has a 200 clear
All jobs have soloed
Oh right sorry
Maygi’s POTD 1-200 Handbook (Solo/Party) ~ EDIT ~ Looking for a Heaven-on-High guide? Here’s a link to it! If you prefer to view this in a Google doc, you can use this link. The pictures and names are in a tiny column, I know! Will fix soon TM ~ INTRO ~ Looking to clear floor 200? You’ve come...
has a "tier" list
perfect, exactly what i'd been looking for ❤️
Nice
Does the amount of enemies you kill in potd/hoh effect how much exp you get at the end of each set of floors?
Afaik no. So just kill necessary mobs, open silver chests and climb.
Hmm still no BLM reached floor 200 yet. Although mana is seems the highest now
is there somewhere i can look to see what music plays in each location? some tracks i wanna find and put on a playlist, but im just having issues finding them
there was definitely a floor 200 clear for blm a year or so ago
How good is WeskAlber for a brand spanking new MCH
I just unlocked it two seconds ago
very
how do i use this
you need Hakutaku Eye cluster
yes
Allythia Nicole has a 200 potd clear, its just not on the leaderboard any more 🤷♂️
i bought a full set of gear with my poetics, but now im not sure what to spend them on, and im close to hitting the cap again
anyone that plays with controller can help me? I enabled the w cross hotbar but it only has 4 skills each side, as opposed to 8 and I cant find a setting to change that
you either need a crafter of the appropriate level to self meld or find a materia meld to meld it. but its not worth melding your gear while leveling since you replace it so often
believe you need to find an npc who can slot materia into gear for you, on the map they should have a hammer and materia symbol
for dyes, once you've completed the quest "color your world" you simply right click on a piece of gear that can be dyed and select "dye"
where do i get color ur world quest
!quest color your world
okay ty
i 'hid' my chat window by accident, how do i un-hide it?
Wait MCH has an actual 1 2 3 combo 
It's not Bard's mindless spam or DNC's glowy button roulette 
hit enter
Im overleveled for msq is that a bad thing?
hey everyone! just returned to ff14 and started leveling a GNB. i did a few of the daily roulettes, should i just be doing highest level dungeon i can now?
@crude scarab if youre talked about extended, there's definitely a setting for that. Unfortunately I can't find it now
It's a bad thing if you're not overleveled
avoid lv70 dungeons cause they dont give much exp
what do i do at that point?
disagree i like being as close as possible
do level or 69 71+ dungeons
Castrum Abania to get to 71 from 70
Or do your roulettes to skip 70
Dunegons at level cap always give shit exp so always avoid them
not bad; you can pick up another job to try out if you want
Is there any way I can send gil from one character to another (same account, Same world) without relying on a second account, FC or somebody else?
nope
people usually do marketboard selling but that has taxes
should i get the expansions on steam or SE store?
@tribal shore where ever your account is on/bought the base game on
Hey guys, I’m trying to do this ixal beast tribe quest
Says I don’t have the correct facility so I talked to the guy
i haven't yet
playing the trial
Now apperently I don’t have the right equipment equipped
Gotta wear the ixal gloves
personally it up to you, however sales seem to be more frequent on SE store than steam @tribal shore
Can’t craft their stuff without them on
but steam has regional pricing so ill go for that maybe?
@tribal shore oh idk if there was regional pricing
if it cheaper through regional pricing, than go for that
otherwises, both are fine
just know that once you buy on one, you can't use the other
and sales aren't always going on the same time for both
hey I just bought starter edition + shadowbringers bundle and i was playing the base game today and logged out to install the expansions, I cancelled the download halfway through and now its saying I have no sub when I still have 28 days of free time to play left. The expansions are unlocked on this account? Does the free sub not count now??
Contact support
hi guys I setup a trial account monthes ago but havent played and just built a new pc and wanted to hop back on my trial but both the steam client and the ff14 store page client both ask for a license key any advice?
how do you get aetherpool grips?
@carmine shell get to floor 50 in palace of the dead and then you have to sacrifice strength in your aetherpool weapon and armor for each grip, 10 strength each. You need 3 grips for the first wep, then 6 for the upgraded version
so do the dungeon one level under your level? aka if im 60, run a 59?
50, 60, 70 were all level caps
So if i pick up another class will the MSQ scale down to Level 1?
No
how do I put my ui invissible so i can take a nice picture?
@limber linden scroll lock was my default key if your keyboard has it
I have a scroll, how do i lock it lool
if i buy the game from steam will i get a gamecode to redeem at mog station ? Is that how it work ?
Yes, diatress
no; msq level and your job level are separate
I used this thingy from recruit a friend.. How does this work exactly?
ah okay thanks !

If someone on your friend list has the new player icon, you can right click their name in your FL and you’ll get an option to teleport to the aetheryte nearest to them.

I just saw this and was probably already answered but yes
Sorry was tabbed out
whats the armoury bonus?
additional experience granted to any combat class you have that is NOT your highest level class
All classes/jobs that are lower level than your highest get an innate exp bonus of +100% up to level 70 and +50% at 70 and higher.
ahhhh
I know dps have a hard time finding dungeons but i been in queue for 25 mins for my first sastasha run 😵
It is getting a bit late in NA
^^
Truuue
Ohh its only the newbies im getting matched with gotcha
There's actually a huge influx of new players, probably just not at this hour
I thot it was anyone doing sastasha
nah i think roulettes match them too?
yeah i think its just the hour
nice, so I guess the leaderboard doesn't show inactive players anymore?
I was told that the server is closed for awhile. When would it be open again? Friend still hasnt been able to get in T.T
not sure how exactly the rankings update and if inactives aren't counted
if the server isn't congested, then you might have to create a new account on off-peak time
Goblin appears open to me at server select so they should be able to create a character now
Praying
Is it possible to change my PVP hotbar to my standard PvE hotbar or am I stuck with the weird layout?
What do you do with faded copy of orchestration rolls
Alchemist
ALC can turn them into actual working rolls
Need to be like level 30 or so iirc
your pve skills won't work on pvp
what are the hardest disciple of war jobs
Subjective
Very subjective
all about the same
I'd say Samurai
Weird way to spell Ninja
what
