[icy quiver]

Hi, is there a way to increase the field of view? (Increase the zoom out)

[cunning tide]

yes it all says what the controls are actually supposed to be but then when he actually presses it it does something else

[pure wedge]

So I started leveling my thaumathurge now that my paladin is lvl 30, any ways of getting some gear on it quickly? lvl 9 on it now and getting spanked because all I have is like a hat and a staff lol

[faint flare]

Vendors are fine for starting out

And job quests

[leaden ginkgo]

is there like an easier way to manage other jobs? Because I keep deleting some gear for my others my accident? And I don't wanna keep doing that

*by

[faint flare]

Gear that's used on a gear set will have a paper icon on it

Selling raid food

[warm snow]

Create gear sets

[faint flare]

You look up what's the food people are using in their Bis lists

[warm snow]

Theres a few "best foods" for each raid tier

[obsidian needle]

Greate gearsets and use job change buttons to change jobs

[faint flare]

Currently it's primarily smoked chicken

[warm snow]

Almost universally smoked chicken atm since relics are completed

[faint flare]

High quality ones yes

[warm snow]

If you're kinda lazy coffee biscuits sell decently if they're below 1k per and hq

[proven wren]

hey, so whenever i randomly check recommended gear I notice that I got a lot of stuff from bosses probably but I never notice whenever they drop, is there any way to check what dropped or something?

[faint flare]

You get 1 guaranteed piece of gear at the end of every levelling dungeon

[winter root]

Is there any way to make my chocobo companion assist me? (attack my same target) instead of being stuck attacking the first target I hit?

[faint flare]

Goes directly into your inventory

[silent compass]

How do I make a mouseover macro to cast ground targeting spells at the cursor without having to click?

[cold skiff]

Hey, im a new player, playing Thuramage, casting thunder which I know later is an aoe dot, how can i tell the duration of the dot on the enemies without cycling through them via clicking or tab targetting

[proven wren]

alright thanks

[faint flare]

You can't in the sense you want. Macros need a specific target

[flat night]

I'm trying to do the ARR relic weapon quest and I need a weapon with 2 materias in it, can the weapon be high quality or does it call for regular quality only?

[faint flare]

Macros for ground aoes will drop the aoe in the centre of the targets hitboz

[molten aspen]

Hi ! Any idea why I cannot equip this on glamour, im lvl 67 scholar, any idea what its going on ?

[silent compass]

way no to just have the cursor somwhere and to do it the farthest the pixels can reach the ground?

[fluid iron]

guys quick question

if I download the trial from steam

and decide to subscribe

will I Download the game from the start

or it will continue from the trial

[faint flare]

Your current t chest piece is too low level

[molten aspen]

ooooooooooooooh im wearing the 270 chest piece tyty

thank you so much

[faint flare]

Not with macros no, they need a specific target

[silent compass]

I see, thank you, is any other way possible?

[limpid glacier]

when can you buy hw poetic gear?

[modest igloo]

not really, but for aoe just keep track of one target and it will refresh said target for t2/t4 for all of them

[modest igloo]

lvl 58 msq

[faint flare]

Make a macro with <t> or <me> to drop the aoe in the targets hit boz or ontop of you

[cold skiff]

Coming from wow, the dot durations are on top or the side of the mobs hp, I would like to know when to refresh my dots on each of them without having to go through each hp

[faint flare]

If you're doing ground target aoe via macro I prefer dropping it on myself so you have a greater control where it goes

[wet lotus]

hi, im new to ffxiv and im kinda confused about class and jobs. i went gunbreaker but im confused on what class i should play with it. whats the most popular option

[faint flare]

Any

[silent compass]

It's not for AOE spells, its for ninja teleport

[cold skiff]

Just wondering if there is anyway to make it easily visible

[faint flare]

Oh shukichi

Then it's just a <t> in the macro

[wet lotus]

i wanna tank so whats the best option with gunbreaker

[faint flare]

/Ac shukichi <t>

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter what you level to unlock gunbreaker

[limpid glacier]

the first 58 quest?

[faint flare]

But doing gladiator or marauder will teach you how to tank

[boreal storm]

When you reach idyllshire

[faint flare]

When you get to Idyllshire

[fluid iron]

how can I copy my game to a friends pc via steam

[modest igloo]

the dot duration is below the mob target bar, which you can move to a better location

[fluid iron]

or is it even possible

[cold skiff]

For me pulling 3 mobs as an example it only shows the current duration on whatever mob is targetted

[warm snow]

They have to install ff14 on their pc

And that's like 50+gb

So would be a bit of a dick move ngl

[faint flare]

If you're doing an Aoe dot then they'll all have the same duration

[modest igloo]

correct, but with t2/t4 it'll hit all of them for the same duration

[fluid iron]

so I cant copy it directly from my pc?

[warm snow]

No

[fluid iron]

even if he uses the trial

[cold skiff]

So before then I shouldn't bother to multidot?

[modest igloo]

correct

black mage/ thamaturge is a bit funky when leveling

[sharp quartz]

hey guys, is it possible to share steam library with ffxiv to my brother?

[modest igloo]

[autumn drift]

Any has a machinist rotation guide?

[modest igloo]

we got a lvl 80 one

for leveling not so much

[faint flare]

Weskalber has levelling rotations, balance discord for 80 stuff

[autumn drift]

Can you show me the lvl 80 one?
Im currently at lvl 76

[autumn drift]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Extremes are meant to be hard yes

They have actual mechanics which you should start looking up

[boreal storm]

Like bow mode shiva, who just nukes 60% of the arena

[faint flare]

Extremes are the point you look at guides

[indigo loom]

i did, i'm mostly familiar with them but me personally, it's hard to see her animations with all the effects going off XD and our one tanks wants to solo but their positioning is wiping us

[faint flare]

Turn them off

[limpid glacier]

I'm in Idyllshire now and the vendors not there, are they locked behind a quest?

[faint flare]

They're in the centre

[boreal storm]

Middle building

[faint flare]

Right there

The line of 3 vendors

[limpid glacier]

found them thanks

[faint flare]

Hismesa for armour, bertana for weapons

[boreal storm]

You want i270

[limpid glacier]

augmented shire set right? for both armor and weapon

[dire prawn]

Best gear you'll have up to 64 MSQ then the 65 dungeon

[limpid glacier]

can you farm poetics with raids or are those one time rewards?

[faint flare]

You'll always get poetics if you do content that gives them

[limpid glacier]

that's nice

[primal relic]

So I just did my first high run(lv52) with SCH, it’s feels like I’m not healing enough or fast enough? Even when you guys suggested using whispering dawn more often +physick spam.

[modest igloo]

step 1: dont use physick

use adlo

step 2: is your tank undergeared

[primal relic]

Doesn’t adlo only provide mostly shield w/ lil hp heal?

[crystal bluff]

Step 3: are you undergeared

[primal relic]

I don’t think so, he was wearing reaper gear.

[modest igloo]

physick is a lil hp heal

adlo is both

same for cure 1 and cure 2

[primal relic]

Well I was told my armor would be good till 56

[modest igloo]

were they using mitigation?

[primal relic]

Idk I was busy trying to heal

[modest igloo]

thats probably why

[primal relic]

Half the encounter he was below 25% hp

[modest igloo]

if a tank w2w pulls and doesn use mitigation then he's probably dead

[primal relic]

So I founded myself mostly using 3bar lustrate to full heal+whispering dawn and spamming physick when no resources

So didn’t have a lot of time to dps

[plain python]

for healer, after DPS honor, should I go for healing potency or max HP?

[karmic niche]

Sch healing suck..

[faint flare]

Hp

Adlo is more potent healing than physick

[obsidian patio]

I did 2 points of the healing honor early on since each stack is pretty powerful

[faint flare]

Yes it's a shield but as long as the shield is broken then it's damage that had been "healed"

[primal relic]

Okay I’ll keep that in mind

[faint flare]

Physick is extreme last resort when you have no mana

[primal relic]

I had a ton of mana someone here told me to always pop lucid below 9k

[faint flare]

Exactly

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much, in most situations when it comes back up you can use it again and not waste MP you get from it.

[primal relic]

And I can see why you suggest not to use soil, it feels not good at times

[obsidian patio]

Yeah soil isn’t great for just the tank until level 78

[faint flare]

It's mathematically not worth the stack

[pine onyx]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VV7OmelH-CL46MoEV0WP9IEGe2fysylNW1MYDT8_K80/edit
Is this guide still up to date?

[faint flare]

The tank needs to take 10x their hp bar for soil to be equal to a lustrate

[obsidian patio]

Should be, nothing’s changed for ninja since 5.3

[pine onyx]

Aight

[faint flare]

Prior to its trait

After its trait soil Is fucking broken as all hell

[primal relic]

Well hopefully I can make it that far, seems like it’s goin to be hell playing SCH. Especially since pulling all mobs gonna be the norm from this point on.

[midnight tinsel]

whats the respawn timer for b rank marks ?

[obsidian patio]

Like 5 seconds

[faint flare]

It get alooooooooooooot better with Excog

At 62

[midnight tinsel]

thx

[faint flare]

Excog is so good

[gusty island]

where is the blacklist option

how do i block someone that just spams FC invites

[misty garnet]

Anyone know how Odin server is on Light data center?

[primal relic]

Yeah I just needa unlock 60 content to use excog lol

[faint flare]

It's fine

I'm on Odin and we're fine

[misty garnet]

What's it like?

[faint flare]

Just like any other server

It exists

[obsidian patio]

They have to physically speak for you to be able to blacklist them from the chat window. :/

[faint flare]

Nome of the Eu servers are really special or anything

[gusty island]

thats fucking stupid

[obsidian patio]

You might be able to send them a /tell and blacklist them from that

[faint flare]

Moogle is unofficially French, shiva is unofficially German

That's it

[misty garnet]

No kind of overrepresentation of certain players? Like for example how Moogle has lots of french people

Alright, cool

[faint flare]

No

[misty garnet]

Thanks

All I could find online were claims that it was very raid focused to the detriment of everything else, and that it had lots of scandinavians, but that was one person saying it 3 years ago

[gusty island]

nice it worked 😄
thanks @obsidian patio

[faint flare]

Don't read old thinfs

Outdated as shit

[misty garnet]

That's why I'm here, lol

[primal relic]

Also should I be using the resource dps skill? I forgot what it’s call, feels like as a healer I should only use the resource to heal only, but I could be wrong.

[faint flare]

If you have spare Aetherflow yes

[misty garnet]

I couldn't find anything newer through google, so discord was next choice

[fast grotto]

I have seen that the bard is the 2nd lowest dps, I wonder why that is? Because the bard fits a support role? Brings something unique to the group that if this job had higher dps would be too overpowered?

[faint flare]

You should always use Aetherflow every 60s

So you dump excess with energy drain to keep using it on Cooldown

[faint flare]

It has raid buffs and is a ranged dps, so it's lower than normal, just like Dancer

[primal relic]

Okay I’ll keep that in mind. I wish I could generate aetherflow w/o having to be in battle.

[sage mirage]

Yeah same

[fast grotto]

So they purposely made them lower dps because it has group buff skills that the other dps classes don't "to balance it more" you could say?

[faint flare]

Essentially... Jobs with raid buffs have lower dps than jobs that don't (ie Machinist for ranged dps)

Plus being a physical range mean they have 100% uptime

Thus have a "ranged tax"

[reef mango]

bards is a support dps similar to dancer yes

[dire prawn]

When I do Pharos Sirius where do I get the Hard unlock

[fast grotto]

Let's say 2 bards join a group will this nullify the group support skill? Or does it stack if 2-3 bards apply a group buff at the same time?

[faint flare]

Theu don't stack

You'll only ever see two.of the same job In dungeons or alliance raids

You'll basically never bring double jobs to raids

[fast grotto]

so getting into a raid group as a bard if they already have 1 is harder than if u are on a blackmage, samurai, etc.?

[faint flare]

You never run double jobs for high end raids

As long as you're good at your job there is always a place for you somewhere

!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.

[faint flare]

We have this for a reason

[fast grotto]

I am super undecided between blackmage and bard. I really love the bard because I think it looks cool from animations and shooting with a huge bow + the fact I can play instruments but blackmage seems to be the absolute dps meta and big explosions boom.

[faint flare]

It's not meta

Read the faq again

There is no meta

Balance actually exists here

BLM does high damage because it HAS to otherwise there wouldn't be any reason to bring it over Summoner or Red mage

[open ember]

Player skill vs Job itself

Ex: a good bard can be better than a shit samurai

Don't dismiss a job just because of low personal dps

Play what you like, not because it does big damage

[hollow briar]

Buddy is wanting to try the trial and is in steam. Where the hell is it or where's the button? I always thought it was on the right side and says "Try Demo" but I'm not on PC so

He's in Canada if it changes anything >_>

[north venture]

Hello, where can I get 490 gear?

[ocean helm]

I mean if it isn't there he can just try the Trial over the game client and create an account there. You can always "convert" your ff14 account to steam but never convert your steam acc to a ff14 account.

[faint flare]

Eulmore with allegory, alternatively puppet bunker

For 490

[hollow briar]

I think he said he'd try it from there

[hollow briar]

Is there even any transition process? I thought you just signed into your account from wherever

On console it locks your PSN and SE account together >_>

[pine onyx]

Are dragoons easier to play than ninjas?

I've just unlocked the 3rd hand gesture thing and I'm 100% lost

[modest igloo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygNG68HJjko

as is per the usual everything is complex until someone explains it to ya

[pine onyx]

Yeah I've read the rotation, but this is too much for me to keep track off for an alt job

[faint flare]

You can just put the mudras in order to go 1 2 3 for suiton

[pine onyx]

It'd be easier if I was playing it the majority of my time

[modest igloo]

drg is slower but has a lot of anitmation lock and timings for buffs

[faint flare]

And 3 2 1 for huton

[pure zenith]

if it helps, mudra combination results are basically dictated by the length (1,2,or 3 handsigns) and which mudra you use at the end
for example all combinations of mudra that are 3 long an end ten without any repeating will always have the same result

[frank berry]

does anyone know why in-game I have a star on Light datacenter but on website only Chaos has Preferred servers?

[pine onyx]

Yeah I made a post it with the combinations

[faint flare]

Star means it'd your current data centre

[twilit arch]

on the datacenter select screen, the star indicates your currently selected data center

[pine onyx]

But I kinda fear that as soon as I play another class I'll have forgotten everything when returning to ninja

[modest igloo]

why?

[frank berry]

oh, ok, it confused me that it says on lodestone this:

• When creating a new character, Worlds in which these bonuses are applicable will be marked with a star icon (★) on the World selection screen.

is this star somewhere else then?

[faint flare]

When creating a character

Says right there

[modest igloo]

normal content is easy enough, you can hit a dummy for a bit and practice some basics for NIN @pine onyx

[bleak lake]

brand new player, literally never played a final fantasy game in my life

how long does the free trial go for?

[frank berry]

I see... so it's after that, thanks

[ocean helm]

Sry don't know too much about it

[modest igloo]

theres about 200 hours of content?

[faint flare]

End of.the first expansion, lv60

Basically half the game

[bleak lake]

that's a decent chunk

[modest igloo]

its unlimited in time

[bleak lake]

so if you buy a subscription, but don't have any of the other expansions yet, does the subscription give anything?

[faint flare]

You need to buy the game to subscribe

[bleak lake]

ah, ok

[faint flare]

The sub allows you to keep playing after buying the game

[hollow briar]

Any idea why FF client is asking my buddy for a registration code even though he's only downloading the trial?

[faint flare]

Just close and reopen it

It's wacky

[bleak lake]

can i play the free trial from steam, or is it gonna just force me to buy the starter's thing first?

[hollow briar]

Alrighty

[faint flare]

You can Yes. It's the demo button under the starter edition

[bleak lake]

i should've asked that before i registered from the ffxiv website, thanks man

[faint flare]

You can transfer to steam If you're using a non steam trial

[bleak lake]

O

do i have to download the game again from steam for it to work, or will steam recognize the game i already have installed?

[pine onyx]

I'm learning for savage

I need a backup dps class

[modest igloo]

oh

[pine onyx]

when I can't dancer

[modest igloo]

that does make more sense

[pine onyx]

So I need to do optimal rotations

[modest igloo]

DRG is still kinda tough due to the animation locks and positionals mattering

so it would take a bit to learn as well

[pine onyx]

But is it easy to remember?

That's the main thing

[modest igloo]

yeah

[faint flare]

It's a static rotation

[modest igloo]

more static rotation

[faint flare]

Doesn't really change

[pine onyx]

Static rotation sounds perfect

I can focus on boss mechanics

[modest igloo]

just gotta remember the combos and double weaves thats about it

[pine onyx]

Combos aren't an issue tbh

They're glowing yellow :p

[faint flare]

Usually by the time you do savage for a job, it's rotation is majorly muscle memory

[pine onyx]

Yeah

If you spend your time staring at your hotbar you can't do mechanics

[leaden ginkgo]

Are there any GC requirements to do duels in Wolves' Den?

[jovial quarry]

Nah, as long as you have access to Wolves' Den and do the duel square unlock, anyone can 1v1.

It should be right next to the aethryte from a guy looking out towards the dueling arena.

[gusty island]

whats a rough estimate for the average size of an FC in this game

im seeing some with like 12 members and i have no idea if thats considered a lot, healthy, very little, etc

[modest igloo]

mines pretty large and we have 250 people

[obsidian patio]

A decent amount of people generally just use them as friend groups

[heavy wadi]

Ours is at 191, so I'd say they're fairly large

there is one on my world that's almost at the max

[frosty crater]

Why is noone playing Elezen? I think they're cool and their lore/history is very interesting

[random girder]

other races are cuter to people

i think elezen look nice tho

the giraffe meme just caught on way too hard

[frosty crater]

so if I race change to elezen, u think I will not be bullied?

[leaden ginkgo]

im curious. if i use an attack skill and immediately after it use some kind of dmg buff, before the attack actually hits, does the skill get buffed?

[obsidian patio]

Their emotes felt pretty bland to me.

[random girder]

you wont be bullied lol

[random girder]

no

[obsidian patio]

Damage is calculated when you press the button

[outer mural]

it's down to personal preference
it may also be because elves are already prevalent in other games so people are more drawn to the more unique races like miqo and au'ra in terms of additional features

[leaden ginkgo]

i see, thx guys

[frosty crater]

The combat / skill animations are the same regardless of race, is that right?

[outer mural]

that and they might just not like the animations. tall characters may generally be more disjointed than shorter characters due to standardized moment speed

male au'ra players i've talked with say the sprinting animation is really dumb because they move so slow despite their leg length and power in their steps

[frosty crater]

I kind of like it, the running looks a bit like sheldon from big bang theory

[outer mural]

yeah it's personal preference. if you like it, go for it

if anything you may be more unique because there's less of your race, if you like the idea of that

[frosty crater]

how roes must feel

[leaden ginkgo]

I used to be an elezen, but certain things just started to bother me. Petty things like riding side saddle, and once I saw the neck thing I couldn't unsee it lol. I also just don't like playing tall races in general

[frosty crater]

yeah I do actually, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

how about enemy attacks? If the castbar is filled and they start the attack, can i still use mitigation, or is it too late? It probably is, just wanna make sure

[outer mural]

become the giraffe you were meant to be, mike

[frosty crater]

after starting HW I just love the race

[obsidian patio]

You need to mitigate before the cast bar finishes, 99% of the time

[outer mural]

isn't there also a delay on some skills like ranged mitgation because of buff rippling

[frosty crater]

I am just worried because I already bought Fantasia 3 days ago to change from Highlander to Midlander ....

[leaden ginkgo]

thought so. Thx mate, gonna need to build some muscle memory for mitigation then as im often too slow for some boss attacks

[outer mural]

don't you have a free fantasia from ARR, mike?

also yeah most mitigations have fairly decent durations so you can actually just plan out when to use it

[frosty crater]

already used that before to change from Midlander to Highlander

[outer mural]

you could make another character and start a new one for a few minutes to see if you like the animations

[frosty crater]

I just did

[outer mural]

[worthy crag]

I'm doing book of netherfire for my bravura atma relic weapon and I'm supposed to do the quest "One big problem solved" but I have already done it prior and it doesn't show up as completed nor can I redo it

[outer mural]

it's a leve-quest

meaning it's a repeatable one

if it isn't marked as done in your book you may have to do it again

if it isn't showing up from the levequest dude, do another levequest to refresh the list

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/One_Big_Problem_Solved

[worthy crag]

sure... I'll try to do another and see if it shows back up. Thx

[frosty crater]

What do you get from grinding Grand Company ranks?

[outer mural]

and make sure you're looking in the correct category

[outer mural]

more seal capacity and some features after a certain point

[frosty crater]

and why do you need that? xd

[outer mural]

imo fairly worth it, grand company seals always remain relevant to some degree

[worthy crag]

ye, I am. I have done the leve-quest before, that's why I'm confused

[outer mural]

you did it when you had the book?

i use company seals for ventures, the occasional relic quest stuff, cordials, and sometimes stuff to sell

it's free money and more capacity means less vistting back to spend stuff

[worthy crag]

when I had the skyfire books. I just figured I'd get them done asap but now that I actually need it for the netherfire book it doesn't show up on the gc leve-quest guy nor as done in my netherfire book

[outer mural]

yeah it isn't retroactive

you must do it with the b ook that needs it sadly

that being said just do another levequest to refresh the list, i had that issue myself

[serene holly]

Hello everybody. Back a long time ago when i started playing I’ve boosted my samurai to 70 and never had a chance to do my job quests. I regret this now and I’d like to learn the job story. What would be the best way to experience that??? I don’t want to level a second character to 80 just for that

[alpine shadow]

new game +

[outer mural]

^

[serene holly]

How can I access that??

[alpine shadow]

duty > new game +

[outer mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWqpRCDDEpY

also watch this video while you do that

this will teach you every skill samurai has to a basic degree

[alpine shadow]

that's not story

[serene holly]

Oh ok awesome I’ll try new games plus and I’ll give that video a watch too

[orchid lily]

at lvl 40 can i get any other mount that isn't the company chocobo or store bought ?

[outer mural]

oh i'm sorry i misread

[obsidian patio]

Jonathas in Old Gridania has a couple mounts to buy with certificates you earn by completing achievements

[outer mural]

i thought they also wanted to learn skills as well

[alpine shadow]

though honestly, that video is soo long

[obsidian patio]

Each certificate is worth 50 achievement points, and the mounts he has are 4 or 6 tokens

[outer mural]

yeah

but they're helpful for anyone who wants to study their class

[obsidian patio]

You can also level up Conjurer to 30 and complete a quest to get a unicorn

[ocean helm]

Hey guys I recently started playing on Data Center Light, World Shiva and it's heavily german populated. I'm a german myself but would prefer a more International/English world. Any reccomendations on Light?

[worthy crag]

@orchid lily if u have enough achievement points, u can get one of three monuts. Behemoth, Void Resonator or the magitek claw. Go to New Gridania and go to the trophy icon. Under "Other" u can find 3 things that cost 6 achievement points. Check if u can

[outer mural]

you can also grind mgp for some mounts though if you're level 40 you'll definitely be higher level by the time you get enough for one

[orchid lily]

ty!

[worthy crag]

np. I could when I was ur lvl but your mileage may very

[kind burrow]

Im trying to use Soul of the Crafter on Goldsmith lvl 50- are there any prerequisites that im not aware of? iv completed the job quest chain but i still cant use it.

[outer mural]

you have to put it on like a job stone

[kind burrow]

[outer mural]

unless you mean you just don't ahve one, then you need to talk to the soul of the crafter guy near the ishgard airport in the pillars to get one

[ebon laurel]

hi does anyone know if an EU code will work in a US FF14 account?

[faint flare]

No

[upbeat dune]

why am i so weak in zodnar as a dps?

[faint flare]

Codes are region locked

[faint flare]

Use essences and actions. Avoid rank 4+ mobz

[upbeat dune]

which ones?

[faint flare]

Any

Preferably ones that increase dps

[upbeat dune]

im still weaker then my whm with templar essence

😐

[ebon laurel]

okay thank you

[upbeat dune]

because i see tanks soloing the fate's bosses under 1 minutre

minute*

can u use multiple essences?

together

[faint flare]

Zadnor scaling is weird

No

Tanks and healer essences give more damage than Skirmisher cause they have less damage by default

[patent citrus]

four faced, what is it?

[faint flare]

I think that's 4 spells that come from the face

[upbeat dune]

any guides for best essences and actions?

[terse grove]

whats best way too find a FC ?

[patent citrus]

ah right, ty ty

[nova sparrow]

Hello everyone! So I'm a level 63 dragoon playing on ps5 using a controller. Can any one help me in setting up my rotation? Sense I'm still pretty new and not used to these types of games, I would like the easiest way possible with some kind of pattern. For example, the rotation could go: X, square, Triangle, Circle, then X , Square Triangle, Circle again or something similar. If you think u can help me feel free to PM me! PS: I have looked at guides online and have a hard time understanding them.

[proud willow]

you're in luck, DRG has a fairly easy to remember pattern

it's like 1-2-3-6-7--1-4-5-7-6

however you want to set those 7 buttons up is up to you, whatever makes sense for you

[nova sparrow]

Alrighty! Care to pm me so we don't flood this chat with just me asking multiple questions :p

Be easier to keep track of our convo also

[proud willow]

this chat is expressly for flooding with questions, go nuts

also I know very little about setting up the cross hotbar

for controller

So someone else here will have better answers for those kind of questions

[timber gull]

how can I get this little dude to move the hell out of the way so I can click the location under him?

[patent citrus]

check your keybind confirm

and press that key

[nova sparrow]

I have no trouble setting it up. I just need to know what the rotation is, what an opener is, etc. I know basically nothing when it comes to this :(

[timber gull]

thanks!

[faint flare]

Weskalber for levelling rotations

On YouTube

[proud willow]

the 10 hit combo I mentioned earlier is: True Thrust - Disembowel - Chaos Thrust - Wheeling Thrust - Fang and Claw

[nova sparrow]

Ok I'll check it out

[indigo loom]

whoop his ass

[proud willow]

then True Thrust - Vorpal Thrust - Full Thrust - Fang and Claw - Wheeling Thrust

[nova sparrow]

Ok sounds easy enough but what about skills like battle litany and blood of the dragon and Lance charge. All that stuff is part of a rotation isn't it?

[smoky girder]

can i throw out mug?

[patent citrus]

no you use it till 80

[faint flare]

No

[faint flare]

Yes. You use every skill

Except piercing talon... Only in extreme niche situations

[cunning loom]

typically you'd use them inbetween your main GCD rotation

so i'd personally place them into a separate section of your crosshotbar

[sacred oracle]

how do i do

[faint flare]

Walk to the mist entrance and pick a ward

And enter

[patent citrus]

you see the dot on the map

[sacred oracle]

yes i dont understand the UI after

[patent citrus]

check where it lead to, and take the boat from there

dotted line*

[faint flare]

Select

[cunning loom]

pick any and go

[faint flare]

At the bottom

[patent citrus]

so each ward has 60 plot

you can choose any ward*

[sacred oracle]

oh

i see i see

thanks

im in

[nova sparrow]

Ok thank you

What does GCD mean

[faint flare]

[junior walrus]

Any tips for learning and lvling new classes? Ever since I started HW I started the DRK, AST and MCH class quests (and completed them except for AST) and had a hard time processing how they worked and was just a huge learning curve. I do want to try different classes because being stuck with DRG can get dull eventually

[nova sparrow]

So is an opener the same as a rotation? Or do u do an opener then do a rotation and then do opener again? I'm confused

[strong lark]

I am just getting in to Heavensward. Is it worth my time to attempt to complete this flying Aether quests, or should I just plow through the MSQ?

[faint flare]

Opener is what you do at the start of a fight and sets up your rotation

[junior walrus]

Trust me, it's worth it

[faint flare]

Yes, it's all on the story path

[junior walrus]

They're short too, so they're not much of a hassle

[faint flare]

Remove all your skills, read them 1 by 1 while snacking a dummy

[strong lark]

I am kind of surprised they just don't give it to you once the expansion has been replaced

[junior walrus]

Since you're a fellow DRG I can give you a link to a really great DRG guide/doc that helps explain all the skills and rotations!

[faint flare]

Currents are how you're meant to get flying

[junior walrus]

Also would recommend practicing rotations for a long time for the muscle memory, I'm still practicing mine

[junior walrus]

Will try that out! Also tips for tanking?

lmao, the assless chaps 😄

[junior walrus]

Ah yes

[faint flare]

Alright :0

[autumn jetty]

Stance up > Panic > Fumble the Provoke > Fail to use cooldowns > Team Wipe > Cry in fetal position

[vocal plinth]

So I see that people sometimes hold events like festivals and concerts and stuff, is there a way to switch servers temporarily (without fully server transferring) to take part in these?

[tough thicket]

I've finished the free trial completely and have bought the full game now. What quests should I unlock that was not available to me before due to being on the free trial?

[autumn jetty]

Yeah, you can move between worlds on the same Data Center

[junior walrus]

If you haven't already, the Crystal Tower quests

It's mandatory for SHB

[autumn jetty]

and I think cross-Data Center travel will be possible soon™

[vocal plinth]

Oh wow, ty

[junior walrus]

Really? That'd be nice

[autumn jetty]

click on the Aetheryte Crystal in town, and it's one of the options

[tough thicket]

Yeah did that one. I was more referring to stuff like retainer quests.

[vocal plinth]

I hope cross-DC travel does come, that's amazing for social events

[warm snow]

It's been announced we have no other confirmed information

[junior walrus]

Ah I see, still stuck on the Free Trial so I can't do those

[muted blade]

help, my ps4 controller suddenly stopped working on my ff14

O-o

i tried everything

the game recognizes it as just a mouse

[junior walrus]

Have you tried unplugging your mouse first?

[muted blade]

yep

it's simply not working

if i press the PS button it works as a mouse

that's it

[vestal needle]

[spring elk]

With the upcoming DC travel feature, did squenix say anything about limiting regions (e.g., we wouldn't be able to travel from a US to a JP DC)?

[faint flare]

No

We have literally 0 info on it

Other than its coming after September

[heavy wadi]

all we know is that it exists

[sacred oracle]

[junior walrus]

[heavy wadi]

scroll lock

[carmine shell]

can i skip step 1 2 3 4 and just do 5? apparently i need to do 5 to unlock the second coil

which also unlocks the quest

[faint flare]

Yes

[carmine shell]

do i miss any part of the story?

[sacred oracle]

uhhh

[faint flare]

Not really

Afaik

[jovial quarry]

You miss a couple small bits here and there. Most of the story happens in the last floor of each set iirc

[heavy wadi]

there's a couple cutscenes you'd miss

[jovial quarry]

Excluding Final Coils which has mega important stuff on the second to last floor too

[carmine shell]

fuck it illdo them all

dont wanna miss anything

[autumn jetty]

Find an active FC during your play hours by looking for groups in Limsa. Right-click the player and "View Company Profile" Look for FCs with a few dozen players on at the same time. Submit an application, and you'll probably be accepted.

[terse grove]

okay thanks !

legit just got to limsa right now..will do

[nova sparrow]

Ok sweet

[true forum]

does it matter what grand company i join? does each grand company provide something that the other doesnt?

[regal tiger]

If I want to talk about the events of the quests right before Heavensward starts do I talk about them in #archived-lore-spoilers or is that more for Shadowbringers and Endwalker discussions?

[faint flare]

No

Functionality the same

[true forum]

so just go with the 1 i think is the coolest?

[faint flare]

Yes

[coarse meadow]

What do I do when doing bozja battlefield for the first time?

[faint flare]

Follow the blue quests

And read

They explain the zone

[strong lark]

Can I make my minion click through\untargetable?

[terse grove]

am i missing something or did they change something.;. havent played for like 3 years. but iddnt to get your job you had to have like the main class to lvl 30 and then a 2nd to level like 15?

[obsidian patio]

There's also an NPC in the main camp that explains stuff about the Bozjan Southern Front

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

that was removed with stormblood

[terse grove]

oh okay lol ty

[junior walrus]

Huh, so I unlolcked the first HW alliance raid dungeon and my average item level is only 171,, anyone know where I can get lvl 60 accessories?

[faint flare]

Buy 270 in idyllshire/ishgard sundry splendor

With poetics

[junior walrus]

time to go back to idyllshire then 🚶‍♂️

thanks a lot tho!

[uneven glade]

Anyone know why the website won't let me buy a 60 day time card? I'm trying to pay for a friend's sub who's struggling to pay it.

[obsidian patio]

the error it's giving on the pop-up is self-explanitory. :\

not sure why they have a limit for buying it but that's why.

[uneven glade]

I'm just buying one though.

[pure zenith]

how many days are left on your sub

[uneven glade]

I guess I'll just give my fc member my cc info for them to put on their account mog station... :S

I pay for my sub via auto monthly renewal on mog station.

[pure zenith]

I see, cuz if you have more than 300 days of game time you cant buy the card

[jovial quarry]

Can still purchase game time codes through Amazon btw although it may take a bit longer.

[obsidian patio]

gamestop should sell them too

[uneven glade]

I'm definitely not close to 300 days.

[obsidian patio]

Just remember that time codes are region-based, so if they live in a different region from you your code won't work for them

[uneven glade]

They're the same region as me.

So that's not a problem

I just can't buy the dang card.

[obsidian patio]

Try Amazon instead, should be the same price and the purchase should go through just fine

[lavish vortex]

Hi!!, i have a question regarding Basic and Intermediate relativity from e12s. Basic Rel question 1st: im a DPS, i often get doom at the middle or end of the mechanics, some of the people in the party said it was because of the gaze. Who and WHEN do i have to look away from... the boss? or the players that have the gaze debuff?

[faint flare]

Healers or tanks

Will have gaze

It goes off just about when you place the return marks

[uneven glade]

I'll just give them my CC info. Would rather not wait on amazon. I want to play game with them tonight.

Just kinda bothered I can't buy on squeenix site directly

[lavish vortex]

That means i have to look away from them? or that they have to look away from the boss?

[obsidian patio]

away from them

[faint flare]

You.look away from them

[uneven glade]

Because I could get reward points on their site.

[lavish vortex]

ok... so tanks and healers (whoever got the gaze debuff) only have to position themselves away from the stacked party and as long as me (as a dps) keep attacking the boss, i wong get hit by their gaze (cause they are behind us), is that correct?

[faint flare]

Tanks will always be behind the group for the knockback soak, healers will always be at the sides for beam baits

[fallen niche]

Are the E12 blades still on weekly lockout or nah

[faint flare]

If you're looking directly at the boss you shouldnt get hit by gazs

[obsidian patio]

pretty sure, yes

[lavish vortex]

ok, cool, got it

[fallen niche]

Darn, guess I'll try to get a 10S party then

[faint flare]

Only gaze, beams and fire can give you doom stacks

[lavish vortex]

now to Intermediate rel... how does that gaze mech work?. I always get one as a DPS... what does it mean, does it mean that players have to look away from me? or that i have to look away from the position that i placed the gaze debuff?

[faint flare]

The gaze debuff means the gaze is coming from you

And people need to look away from you

There will be 4 gaze debuffs

[obsidian patio]

you aren't affected by your gaze debuff

[faint flare]

Depending if you're stacking in a circle or line on the boss, you can look outward for the arena before teleport kick in

Idk what PF does for the gaze stacks

[lavish vortex]

ok, so if i get doomed by gaze, it means i was looking at a player with the debuff, got it

[faint flare]

Yes

[lavish vortex]

and WHEN do i have to look away from the players with gaze?

[faint flare]

Before the teleports start

Cause your orientation is locked in

And you can't rotate during the teleports

[lavish vortex]

so, every time the clock runs out (the 3 times) i have to look away from all of the other players with the debuff?

[faint flare]

Only for the last one

Before it starts porting you around

When you lose control

[lavish vortex]

then the order of the gaze debuff doesnt matter?

[faint flare]

No, it goes off during the teleports

And you can't turn during it

So you have to look away before you get teleported

Which is why it's important to know how the stack is going

[lavish vortex]

we are stacking in the middle little circle

[faint flare]

If you stack with clock spots, look at your clock position before you start getting teleported

Your orientation is retained when teleporting

[lavish vortex]

then why does the gaze debuff has a timer that sometimes is shorter or longer, if it always goes off at the end?

[faint flare]

So if you're 9 o clock, you'll look towards 9 o clock before you start teleporting

Because the order is random, and you're using the teleports to solve the mechanic in reverse

[lavish vortex]

im dumb, i dont get it

[faint flare]

The longest debuff goes off last. And it's where yoy place your first return marker

The second debuff goes off second and it's where your second return mark goes

The shortest de uff goes off first, and is where you end and start looking away

Then teleports start

[lavish vortex]

if the gaze always goes off as the last one? why does it has diferent times and it isnt showing last (the most right defubb) evey time ?\

[faint flare]

No

The debuff order and timers is always random

It can be the shortest or.the middle debuff

[lavish vortex]

but you sayd that i always have to look away at the end, not in the 1st too, even if the gaze debuff is 1st, 2nd or 3rd

[faint flare]

Again you cant turn when the teleports start happening

[hollow briar]

My buddy is trying to login to FFXIV for the first time ever. He made his SE account. He downloaded the steam trial...But every time he tries to log in it says wrong info. He tried logging into mogstation and had 0 issues. Any ideas?

[faint flare]

You have to make sure you're facing the right way before you start being teleported

[hollow briar]

He's still having issues and about to just give up on it >_>

[faint flare]

Regardless of debuff order

[lavish vortex]

oooo so when the timers run out they record the position but not the direction im facing? only the last one that locks me records direction?

[faint flare]

Yes, it only locks position

Not orientation

Your orientation is the same as before the teleports start

[lavish vortex]

oooo ok... so, as long as i place the gaze at the center where we stack, and look away from the center at the end, i wont get gazed?

[faint flare]

Place marker one > place marker 2 > stand in final area and look in the correct direction

[faint flare]

Is he logging Into the game with his mogstation info

[hollow briar]

Well mogstation requires SE ID and to login to FFXIV it requires SE ID

So

[faint flare]

Mogstation is your 14 account

[lavish vortex]

if my final debuff is gaze, then i have to stack in the middle circle but facing away from the other 3 gazed players, so we have to give our backs to each other, kind of?

[hollow briar]

_>

Fuckin huh

PC is weird asf. On console my stuff is the same

To login to FF servers and to log into mogstation

[faint flare]

If the final debuff is gaze Yes...you would already be stacked and easier to see which is to look away

Console uses your mogstation as well

It just locks your Id in since its linked to psn

[lavish vortex]

got it, thanks!!!

[hollow briar]

Well FF is asking for his SE ID and he's said he made one and verified it.

[hasty sand]

What's the fastest/most efficient way to grind mettle?

[heavy wadi]

on mogstation?

[hollow briar]

No. The FFXIV launcher.

[faint flare]

There is basically only 1 way to get mettle

Do fates and CEs

[hollow briar]

Steam > Press Play > Takes him to FFXIV login

[hasty sand]

Pain.exe

[faint flare]

Farm in Zadnor the moment you can

[heavy wadi]

an SE account =/= a mogstation account

[faint flare]

Get the duel mettle buff if someone is winning the duel

Doubles mettle gain for an hour

[heavy wadi]

it's very easy to make a store account and not a mogstation one

[hollow briar]

He said he's made an SE account.

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant log into the quick launcher. im using the steam version

[faint flare]

And winning duels give alot of mettle if you cheese them out

[hollow briar]

^

This

[hollow briar]

Says wrong info when trying to login?

[bright belfry]

Any channel i can join in FF14 to ask questions?

trial

[leaden ginkgo]

nono just says failed

like idk why

[faint flare]

Novice network, ask a mentor for an invite

[leaden ginkgo]

i know my info is right tho

[heavy wadi]

novice network, ask a for an inv

[hollow briar]

My buddy is literally trying to sign into FFXIV for the first time through the steam launcher

And it says failed

Or wrong info

Invalid.

Blah blah blah

[bright belfry]

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

oh so i kinda just did it again and it worked lmfao

[hollow briar]

My buddy enters info. And it says its wrong.

_>

[leaden ginkgo]

does he have the otp shit done

i was stuck there for hours

[hollow briar]

Otp?

[heavy wadi]

you don't need an otp

[leaden ginkgo]

one time password

[junior walrus]

One time password

[leaden ginkgo]

well it worked for me

[heavy wadi]

you don't need it

it's 2fa

recommended, but not required to sign in

[junior walrus]

I also needed otp to play ffxiv xd

[heavy wadi]

[leaden ginkgo]

well without my game doesnt work lmao

[junior walrus]

same

[leaden ginkgo]

ima let this install overnight now

cya guys

[junior walrus]

bye!

[heavy wadi]

y'all set it up

but not remotely required to sign up.

[hollow briar]

.....

So should he try setting up the OTP?

[junior walrus]

It's optional, but if nothing else works then most likely

To get one you have to install an app, but I wouldn't recommend the one Square provides

[hollow briar]

He's just kind of fed up

Couldn't get FF client trial to work

Then downloaded the Steam trial

Said he made an SE account

Verified it

Tryed launching the trial. When hs presses "Play" it takes him to an FFXIV login screen requiring an SE ID. He enters in his stuff

And it fails

Video he sent of what he's doing. Been tryin to help him for a couple hours now >_>

[open spire]

For glamour plates, there is no way to remove it all at once right? You have to use a dispeller on each individual item?

[obsidian patio]

there's a "plate" after the 15th that lets you bulk dispell

[open spire]

I somehow must have missed that. Huh

[outer mural]

what's the error he's getting

and how old is the account he's using

[heavy wadi]

if he made the account before and paid for the game he cannot play the trial.

[hollow briar]

Brand new.

He's never played FFXIV before

[outer mural]

tell him to make a new account via the steam client then if it's not a big deal

i believe i saw the option there

[hollow briar]

Couldn't tell you exact message. Idk what he's doin now. Not answer messages but he said it just kept saying error and like...wrong info..I think

[outer mural]

if the account is brand new then tell him to make a new account via the steam client

[hollow briar]

The SE account is yeah

[outer mural]

iirc it may be because the steam free trial does not accept standalone free trial accounts

so you will have to make a new account via steam, or just download via the standalone launcher

[hollow briar]

The steam account isn't new. SE account is

[outer mural]

i am saying that there is an option to make a new SE account through steam

should be this option here

provided i read it correctly

'set up a steam trial account'?

[outer mural]

^ this is why

[hollow briar]

Does Steam attach to your account like PSN does?

[outer mural]

yes it will mark your PC account as a steam one

you can still connect a PSN account to it but you have to buy it separately and set up everything on PS4/PS5

[hollow briar]

So that could be it then.

[outer mural]

what do you mean

[obsidian patio]

Steam and PS4 don't conflict at all

[outer mural]

i thought the account was brand new

[hollow briar]

Because it's a normal SE account and not one with Steam attached to it

[outer mural]

yes

that is what i have pointed out 2 times already

[leaden ginkgo]

did any of u ever have the problem that u didnt hear voiced cutscenes?, im using steelseries arctis 7

[hollow briar]

Yes ik. Just tryin to understand it myself lol

[heavy wadi]

not all cutscenes are voiced

[leaden ginkgo]

@heavy wadi i know thats why i said voiced cutscenes

[young steppe]

Is there a way for me to remove the materia in my gear?

[oak ice]

Right click it and retrieve materia

[outer mural]

if you know for sure it's voiced then check #technology-discussion for specific hardware issues

if you're unsure then it may just not have been voiced

[leaden ginkgo]

okay ty ill check tech

[hollow briar]

He says he signed up with his SE account through steam

[young steppe]

Oh didn't see that there's an option, thanks

[outer mural]

tell him to go to his mogstation account and screenshot this

[outer mural]

oh one thing

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/c79xna/cant_hear_voices_in_cutscenes_anymore/

this issue has ome up before, check this thread

[leaden ginkgo]

@outer mural yea i tried the same things all of them did it just doesnt work for me thats so annoying

[outer mural]

damn

[leaden ginkgo]

rn im just changing everything in the settings and restart the game all the time

[outer mural]

so you 're certain the cutscene is voiced?

[heavy wadi]

what cutscene/quest are you on?

[hollow briar]

Just so I know. What am I looking for when he does this?

[heavy wadi]

just post it here

[hollow briar]

I will when he sends it

[outer mural]

better to send it then we can tell you

it tells us the account type so we can see any discrepency on why he can't log into the trial

[rigid dew]

i have a problem. i'm trying to play with my controller but the buttons are all wrong. press X will trigger triangle, circle will trigger X, and triangle will trigger circle R3 will trigger option L3 will trigger share and vise verses. anyone have any info to help?

[obsidian patio]

?????

...That's certainly new.

Are you using an external program to recognize the controller?

[rigid dew]

this only happens on ff14. other games everything is fine

[obsidian patio]

Also, what type of controller is this?

[hollow briar]

My only idea is like....

[rigid dew]

No i just pluged it on and the game saw it and started using it

[hollow briar]

The bindings in game are fucked

[terse grove]

will the MSQ have me pick a grand company ? im lvl 21 and ahvent got my mount yety but i iknow im behind a lil on msw

[obsidian patio]

Yes

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[outer mural]

if you haven't got there, keep going @terse grove

[heavy wadi]

what controller are you using?

alternatively, just... go into the keybind settings and adjust it?

[terse grove]

okay gotcha wasnt sure if it was just a lvl 20 unlock or msq kinda thing

i keep getting distracted from msq

[obsidian patio]

Never heard of that controller before, so I can't say if third party ones have more trouble with being recognized

[rigid dew]

i'm using a razer raiju ultimate

[terse grove]

another q is there anyway to hide the dang name of my pet/minon thing i like it out but having the name is kinda distracting and i cant find in settings

[obsidian patio]

Check the Controller settings in System Configuration inside of the game, that's where all control-related stuff would be.

[rigid dew]

check the binding and it's all set as normal. tringle should make me jump but it doesn't.. only if i press X

[heavy wadi]

this game is generally designed to work with PS4/Xbone controllers

third party ones are... iffy

[terse grove]

omg thank you didnt even see the chararacter settings

[obsidian patio]

yeah I never used third party controllers for my PS4 so I can't comment on which ones worked or not.

[rigid dew]

i use this controller on ps4 and it's never been a problem. only just started with FF14

[manic flare]

is anyone experiencing issues with crystal datacenter right now?

[heavy wadi]

quick google search shows this is an issue specifically with that controller. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/jzgtpc/razer_raiju_ultimate_issues_fixed_for_me_at_least/

[open ember]

Ive only ever used Xbox/PS controllers

[outer mural]

did you calibrate your controller correctly

[rigid dew]

I've tried that but it dose nothing.

[heavy wadi]

It seems like the solution then is to... not use it.

[outer mural]

The Raiju is not a DS4 controller. It is a controller emulator. Do you have xinput for the controller installed?

[rigid dew]

no i don't

[outer mural]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/iodkvj/razer_raiju_not_working_with_ffxiv/

follow the rest of this thread i guess

[rigid dew]

i'll check that out now

[young steppe]

How do I know how many strikes I get?

[heavy wadi]

where is this screenshot from

[outer mural]

i would presume 1 warning of mild severity would be 1 strike

the best advice is to not get warned for... whatever you may be doing though

instead of how many you can get away with

[young steppe]

Is it a pop up or a mail?

[heavy wadi]

I'm not 100% sure that you should fully trust what either of those ppl said

[young steppe]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/obsjhq/serious_how_many_of_you_actually_try_to_teach_or/

[outer mural]

i presume you'll be emailed to your account along with a stern in-game confrontation from a moderator

[young steppe]

Cause I am playing in JP server so half the time I can't communicate much to them

[outer mural]

you don't get striked for giving advice if you're polite

and they can't report you for being bad

[hollow briar]

@outer mural

That's his mogstation >_>

[dapper ravine]

Can someone tell me where can i find people to do extreme trials?

[heavy wadi]

you're not on one of the unofficial oceanic ones?

[outer mural]

hit 'your account'

[young steppe]

Tonberry

[hollow briar]

That's where he is

That's literally where he is

[heavy wadi]

then you should have no problems communicating with others

also, autotranslate

[boreal storm]

Party finder

[young steppe]

Oh, there was this one instance in ShB, the very 1st one on 3rd boss (Philia?) where I kept dying to the mechanic where nobody released me and I got kicked then because of me dying. Am just scared of being 'striked'.

I do not know whats the auto-translation of me getting CC'ed

[outer mural]

if you're getting striked you get warned by a moderator in-game directly

[dapper ravine]

im on the free trial so i cant recruit

[young steppe]

Oh okay that's reassuring

[boreal storm]

Ask someone to make it for you then

[heavy wadi]

there's no reason to do exes at level anyways

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, so I am in search of a Bozjan front discord... anyone have one?

[heavy wadi]

check #resources

should be one in there

[hollow briar]

Yeah so he's under the "your account" tab and it shows what I sent you. When he hits "add service account" it asks for a registration code

[outer mural]

okay so it looks like someone went wrong during the account creation process

so he FOR SURE made it on steam?

[hollow briar]

He said yes because it was the fastest way possible

[outer mural]

and the error he is getting is 'wrong information'?

[west parrot]

when you fantasia, can you save your current appearance before any changes?

[leaden ginkgo]

I didn't see one.

[heavy wadi]

it's there. #resources message

[spiral inlet]

how do I get copies

of my eureka weapon

[obsidian patio]

Talk to one of the NPCs on the docks that take you to Eureka

near the Nostalgic Fellow

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh right, I chose primasl but I'm actually in Balmung...

[spiral inlet]

Oh ok thanks

[hollow briar]

That's what he said before

[outer mural]

i'm not qute sure then, it seems he just didn't finis hthe account creation process at some point or he's just entering stuff wrong

worst comes to worst have him make a new account

or make one in the standalone launcher

[hazy estuary]

Once endwalker comes out, do we instantly get the mog station item to get to level 80 instead of 70 on sale? I want to beat the new expansion with another class, but due to my ADHD I'm having some issues leveling another job (really slow process)

[rigid dew]

so i just added the game to steam and the game is now picking it up as a xbox 360 controller. how would i do this without launching the game with steam all the time?

it works perfect now

[zinc cape]

What is this Bot army doing in the Shouth Shroud and why are they keep Telporting away and Return a few mins later all lvl 50 all wired Bot names all the same gear on

[glacial isle]

Between Second Coil Turns 2 and 3, are either solo-able as a Blue Mage (unsynced)?

[carmine shell]

would you mind taking me with you

[rigid dew]

how would i copy all my ps4 hud and settings to my pc? is there a setting for that?

[glacial isle]

gimme a minute

[outer mural]

seems possibly with the right spells

pure instinct + white wind + your damage ogcds should be fine

[obsidian patio]

turn 3 definitely no.

At the extreme minimum you need 3 people for synced second coil turn 3 due to brainjack

[slow isle]

So my partner and I tried to schedule our eternal bond. My 6pm is her 4pm. Her invite says 4pm, so does she need to reschedule?

[hazy estuary]

.

[slow isle]

Mine says 6pm

[outer mural]

should be updated to 80 yeah

it'll be before the newest expansion

[obsidian patio]

you're fine, the invitation adjusts to your timezone

[slow isle]

But like how can we confirm it?

[hazy estuary]

Ty for the answer! That fact that it gets updated before the expansion it's even better

[outer mural]

nah i mean

it will put you before the newest expansion

[obsidian patio]

That's how it was when I did my eternal bonding.

[outer mural]

like how currently it puts you before shadowbringers

it will then put you before endwalker

i believe it'll only become a boost to 80 when endwalker actually drops sadly

[outer mural]

but it should update then, which i'm sure is what you wanted to hear

[abstract locust]

so I played the game for a few weeks back in jan, put in about 80 hours into the game on free trial and finished the ARR MSQ, I got 4 jobs to level 50 ish with the road to 70 xp buff as well and was well into unlocking all the extra dungeons and whatnot before HW

m thinking about buying the game rn since its 26 bucks on steam, but my question is should I restart for another road to 70 buff?
galthonsmeteor — Today at 9:31 PM

[outer mural]

really up to you if it's worht the time

[glacial isle]

Is Turn 2 Second Coils solo-able then?

[outer mural]

if you skip cutscenes it'll be a few hours still

[slow isle]

I think we’ll just double check anyway. Cause SE makes way too weird design choices.

[outer mural]

but if you want to put the time to maximize road to 70 then go for it

[obsidian patio]

In terms of purely mechanics, I don't see a specific reason why it wouldn't.

lemme rewatch a video of the fight to double-check

[leaden ginkgo]

do i have to finish all the crystal towers quest before i can move forward ?

[obsidian patio]

yes

Everything up to and including "The Light of Hope"

[glacial isle]

Ok so Melusine has mechanics :v

and I can't just missile her to death

[rancid viper]

can someone name the ost being played here? spoiler warning: it's a scene in late ShB || https://puu.sh/HTgmy/be85cf0fa9.mp4 ||

[obsidian patio]

I don't think that has an orchestrion roll tied to it, if you're wanting to know that.

The track is called Paradisaical Predicaments

[hollow briar]

@outer mural He gave me his login stuff for everything so after I eat dinner I'll log in to his stuff and look around

[robust relic]

Do the data centers relate to eastern, central, or western for NA ?

[faint flare]

No

They're all in Cali

[robust relic]

Oh okay thanks

I dont have friends to play ff14 so im just gonna choose randomly 🙂

[faint flare]

The choice basically doesn't matter so any works

[abstract locust]

is it possible to copy another player's UI into your game or do you have to manually create it ?

[open coral]

You'd have to manually recreate it for yourself.

[naive ridge]

You can if you can obtain their local character files

[abstract locust]

doubt that would ever happen lol

[autumn jetty]

It's good to get the experience of customizing it yourself. only way you learn how to do it

[abstract locust]

yeah I mean I've customized it a fair bit to my liking as to my old wow ones but damn I do not like the games HUD tool

[autumn jetty]

yeah, it's a bit unwieldy

[open coral]

It's literally click and drag...

[naive ridge]

Super customizable though

[burnt zephyr]

It's far superior to do it yourself.
I've only played for just over 2 months, but I spent a whole weekend (when I first got the game) just sorting out the UI and all the settings, because the base settings are complete garbage.

[cold crescent]

past few days ive had my camera auto rotating a bit sometimes during instances?

i play on the ps5 version if that clarifies

with dualsense controller not keyboard

anyone know what thats about?

[leaden ginkgo]

Usually that means a stick is drifting. Does it happen when you're sitting still, or when you're moving?

[slow isle]

So did we need to save a ceremony invitation if you’re the ones getting married?

[cold crescent]

i havent had this issue on other games is the thing

i think both btw?

[obsidian patio]

I can't remember, pretty sure not though

[rugged flicker]

I keep catching oven catfish instead of magma lice. x.x

[cold crescent]

yeah it happens when im standing still and when im moving

does anybody kno what all this is about?

[upper cove]

Controller stick drift most likely

[cold crescent]

huh

why would it be exclusive to final fantasy 14

[upper cove]

It is?

[cold crescent]

is that how controller stick drift works?

like it just only applies to certain games?

[upper cove]

Not usually no

[cold crescent]

never had this problem before

[upper cove]

Don't own a ps5 but you might wanna see if there's controller calibration to see if the sticks are drifting

[upper cove]

Might seem this way since different games have different 'thresholds' for when to start rotating the screen depending on how much you push the stick

There isn't an in game setting that 'helps' you rotate your screen AFAIK

[winged fossil]

Hi all. Um, the different DoH/DoL jobs…. I haven’t done anything at all for them. I wanted to try them out. How much of a grind are they, to level up? Where would one start?

[obsidian patio]

The low level grind (1-20) is basically crafting one of each item in the crafting log for the first time bonus

As for how much of a grind they are, it entirely depends on how much gil you're willing to spend to speed it up.

Like if you know what you're doing and you're setting yourself up right. You can go from 20 to nearly 80 in a day from efficient Leve usage.

[winged fossil]

Oh wow okay. Knowing what I’m doing and setting myself up right - doesn’t sound like me though haha

[obsidian patio]

You can also lean on the daily/weekly options for more slower but generally cheaper sources of experience, mainly being the Crafting beast tribes, Grand Company supply turn-ins, and challenge log.

[distant whale]

hi all, where can I find new people to level with? and how do i know which server to choose? I’m located in SEA

[winged fossil]

Okay thanks. Is there a good guide anywhere for any of the jobs? Tbh I have a load of combat jobs to learn/level before EW so maybe shouldn’t distract myself from that. And ShB and post MSQ to finish!

[jovial quarry]

Elemental Data Center, a little more specifically, Tonberry and Kujata servers have a lot of English speaking SEA players.

[distant whale]

@jovial quarry cool thanks!

[obsidian patio]

For the main grind as an average player you have 3 main sources of grinding that work pretty similar, being repeatable deliveries.
Leves as the strongest option, but limited in allowances.
Collectables (past level 50) as an unlimited but weaker alternative to Leves, which gives a crafter-specific currency to buy level cap (50/60/70/80) equipment with.
Ishgard Restoration as another alternative for a currency to buy vanity items to sell for gil or use for yourself.

[stray dawn]

what to dow ith these faded copies?

[leaden ginkgo]

Alchemist can turn them into orchestration reels

[stray dawn]

a shop or a class you have to level?

[jovial quarry]

If you can't quite make it in to Tonberry or Kujata for whatever reason, you can pick any other server on Elemental since matchmaking is across the whole data center. @distant whale

[obsidian patio]

Alchemist is a crafting job

though you also need Carpenter if you want to make it all yourself.

[naive ridge]

they are generally pretty worthless as a lot of people get them through dungeons

[stray dawn]

ouch, so its best to sell em?

[obsidian patio]

yep, most faded copies from leveling dungeons are pretty worthless

[naive ridge]

you can just vendor them

[stray dawn]
