not surprised and i hate bots on any game cause all they do when i end up dong things i get cut in and my mobs are dead before i finish the kill or what ever and i lose my progress on that mobs or what ever and i end up have to do more work
It didn't take long to get there. I read a guide saying stick with story mode to level your main class
ppl are botting so they can be just simply lazy
I started a second rogue
But stopped working on it because story gives you so much more exp
Yeye. If you’re slightly overleveled, that should be fine. I’d stick with the Lv23 and get it to Lv30 for the job, but if you really want to explore other options— go for it. Nothing stopping you.
I'd go more into it, but not the right place to discuss things like this. Or saying something that could get me in trouble. Dunno what will get me smacked with a mute or ban in regards to it
You need to get your secondary/tertiary class to the story level if you want to continue the story quests. So you’d have to grind for those levels elsewhere.
I played EverQuest, wow, FFXI and this is the first Ic
Iiked
I understood that but it seemed it would take forever so I stucj with guardian
Please pardon typos, screen is broken
ff games are the best and a very well invested game compare to others beside games that are more like guns and military which i am not a fan of

So basically im not sure how to so anything right in terms of parties
Which is what I really want to get into
Parties?
Having a group I eventually belong to
I mean how roles behave
I understand the logic and rules
But not the practice
in the last boss of Zadnor ship raid, what I'm supposed to do during the countdown when boss is near died to avoid damage?
btw before you do a dungeon Aery is to watch videos on youtube will help you a lot like the mechanics
I don't think Ive been playing my gladiator as a proper take
Thanks I hadn't considered this
those are called statics and are usually mostly for end game content like extremes and savages :> at this stage its nothing for you to worry about so dont stress out <3
stop moving, that acceleration bomb / dice mechanic appears in some other raids too
There’s no “tanking” to do in solo play.
is there a way to feed multiple sessions for racing chocobo?
How come
Well, parties are temporary. You can tank for a dungeon, but it’s not going to make you any friends.
If you’re looking for a community beyond a dungeon party, you might want to join a Free Company and see if you fit in. But that’s separate from tanking properly.
auto-attack count as moving?
yes
It's just something I wanna be prepared for. I've heard of people getting together and not playing their parts and ruining raids
In parties, you turn on Iron Will and do your damage rotation
yeah those are mostly trolls, usually people from fc grouping together and doing dailies and wanting to fuck around
well for one thing you are in early part which have got you so far but as you get higher lvls you will need to watch vids to help cause those upper lvl dungeons are very very rough and intense and also it just dont help you in mechanics but also as a party as a whole which makes easier for other players
Don’t worry too much
its fun to go into a dungeon blind though :3
Ah well I just don't wanna show up not playing how I should but I guest parties will and YouTube can teach that
I have no clue, but I’m sure there’s someone on here who plays that minigame. Just wanted to respond and say you might want to ask again later, lmao.
im a tank too
All content short of extreme and savage is designed to be doable in one go, blind, by just about anyone
are you playing a gld ?
Me? Yes
thank you, i thought everyone missed the message
i'll ask again in a few i guess
No
One at a time.
But I thought I may have more fun as a spam mage
i see, thank you \qwq\
Dps not spam
Well I mean...
when you go any where make sure your iron will (stance) up and when you get in dungeons it will need to be turn on cause most dungeons i enter i have to turn it on again
another thing is hit mobs to aggro them
not sure if taunting will do cause im confuse what ppl were explaining to me
mostly you wouldnt need provoke during mob pulls in dungeons if thats what you mean

sorry lyon
Actuallly pulling and keeping mobs attentikn is where I had the most trouble
Provoke places you at the top of the enmity table for the targeted enemy, and adds a smallish amount of enmity on top of that.
provoke only targets one add, which is useful for initiating a pack from range sometimes but doesn't do anything after that if you're doing your job correctly
It’s primarily for tank swapping
but i will repost the picture and maybe you can tell me if im missing something
so use provoke ?
Taunting is for two reasons. Grabbing a mob that's either just showed up or got away from you, and tank swapping
There was a quest I had to protect someone in mines or something and despite using my abilities and attack the enemies I didn't seem to really keep there attention
don't worry about provoke
thank you jim
Use provoke for tank swapping or grabbing an add that has peeled off you
tank stance was off probably @simple mulch
or just use your ranged attack owo
good to have that noted
thats usually your only answer, otherwise, well, theres little other explanation
What, an NPC?
Wow this is exciting but so much info
Sometimes they won’t stop hitting the NPC.
Ranged attack isn't a guarantee though, it can take several hits to pull it over
doing hall of the novice helps :>
we hope u enjoy ur stay aeryndale :3
I don't have to worry about PK if I stay on leviathan, right?
Quest objectives dint always follow usual aggro rules.
PK?
lOH
ranged attacks will usually be enough to top aggro on one mob especially with tank stands on
you cant attack other people normally
the issue is that you're not hitting every mob
those what i use a lot so am i missing something ???
in the dungeon with ppl
Do BLMs still use mana pots to squeeze out another spell?
yes actually
It will ignore the tank after awhile and focus on destroying the cave wall.
i like to think BLM’s chug a pot in one go before chucking another spell out lol
I've had ranged attack not work well enough to err on the side of caution on it for pulling a mob away from someone. Get it done fast and not mess around
BLM's are alcoholics
Yeah but it’s not something you need to worry too much about while leveling
yeah it's still just best to aoe everything once before you move on
Im asking about lvl 80
Yeah ethers are a thing
Im taking up blm again but its been a while, i remember at one point it was used to fire off another flare
In endgame optimisation
any other situations?
Queue for Dancing Plague please !
ok thanks
plenty of otpimizations and strategies there in the respective BLM channel
rix just answer which dungeon you had trouble keeping aggro in most recently
so yeah ala mhigo
duty types for example like lvl 60 dungeon like ummm and also i do in some of them i do lose aggro
A lot of these phrases are pretty new to me. I know of the main guide but is there a good beginners guide to MMOs that can teach me roles and terminology? I think I'll keep my glad and work on him but create a second casting dps and try it out to see if it fits me better. Which of the two, Thauma.... Or arcanist is more "fun"? If you had to pick? Summons are what hooked me on FF but I'm not sure they would be what I want in this game (ifrit and such) but I like the idea of healing too. Arcanist is or becomes a black mage which seems like it starts more exitIng but loses its glamour eventually. Any opinions?
you may just not be hitting every mob man
This isn’t really helpful Rix
idk what else to say, everything points to it at this point
can you describe how you pull add packs? do you hit them ALL with an aoe before moving on?
sorry idnk what you specific but i cant remember every dungeon
If it was the last boss of Copperbell, as I told you he will ignore the tank after a little while and go destroy the cave wall
No matter what
i mean we don't need anything specific, we just wanted to know which specific dungeon to see if it would've been a dungeon specific iusse
pictures were unnecessary when you coulda just said the name
that being said, can you describe how you pull adds?
i don't know of any encyclopedia of mmo terms but you can always feel free to ask here
ok there is one i hate the most is that place where the gold swap and looks like some kind of flower big mob and also at the end there was a tree boss that things spams so much like bad breath and stacking something i had to go the thing to get the buff off
Thaumaturge becomes black mage.
Arcanist becomes both summoner and scholar.
Thanks that makes me feel like less of a nuisance
dont worry i will figure some how sorry
is there any way to hide regular quests? ones that arent MSQ/unlocks etc.?
as for your second question, pick the one that looks cooler. if you're not experienced in mmos and dunno what playstyle you want, me explaining it won't really help
both are equally capable of being learned
nope
really, pick whatever looks cooler. if you like the pets, go for it
rip
Ok I'll youtube
don't need to youtube, what lyon said was straight forward
you level them up and then do their job quests
hm?
why do you want to hide em? :O
if you're having trouble teleporting to aetherytes bc of it, you can hold ctrl with the map open and the aetheryte will be brought to the top ^^

mm larry
ye
just visual clarity, i dont really care to do any of them and i wanted em out of the way
then watch weskalber's video if you want to see their skills explained
I meant to say to Lyon "thank you I got them backwards" and to Jim / pizza I would YouTube what the jobs eventually panned out to be. Pets are eh to me, but depending on what summons I can gain and how they behave it may not be the kind of summoner I want to be.
That video is what I was looking for when I said I'd youtube
for fair warning
you can go into the journal and cancel ones you really don't need, otherwise clicking on the button twice gives it a 🚫 symbol and it won't show up on your HUD
summoner mains usually do not like the pets themselves due to jank reasons
think they mean on your map itself, not on the side journal :<
ye i just wanted the markers gone in general, nbd i cant but wouldve been nice
you get access to bahamut and phoenix as special summon pahses later on if that is what yo're into
finish them XD
but the regular pets are generally not looked upon favorably
some side quests that arent blue in color have nice rewards like for glam and emotes :D
kinda wish there was matching glam, mount, and barding for clearing all of an X.0 - X.XX non-job sidequests
Thank you all for your help, I'm sure I'll be back pretty soon. I have a pretty idea of the game basics from the trial but like I said, especially playing on ps5, I'm sure there'll be things I can't figure out plus tips for things like shopping. Also, while I unlocked every crafting class, I didn't work on them at all. I need to do thst
or something
ok i asked earlier about kugane about getting gears and where you go to get poetic gears and i know some one mentioned it a few hours ago so where again plz ?
Rowena’s Representative right next to the Kugane aetheryte.
But story is what got me into FF and most MMOs skimp on this and if there is a decent story, it doesn't seem to contribute to overall gameplay like this has.
thx you again
machinist doesn't have rng anymore
Also BLM and RDM
Oh, I thought he meant ranged for some reason. Duurrp
MNK has chakra gauge procs
BTW, I want to make sure I understand. If I'm on leviathan unless I make a transfer I can't play with someone on, anima, right?
ok lyon once more which i should plck for my paladin ?
Idk where these are located but you can play with people on the same data center
Scaevan
thx you again
@simple mulch separate data centers cant play together
It automatically goes to the job you’re currently using
Oh but even im sorry I got confused
i mean is Bard And dancer are the only jobs that heavly rngs
I meant if im leviathan on primal I have to transfer still to paly with someone on primal ultros right?
no
Oh ok so as long as same data server the world is irrelevant?
yes
is there a guide or something for squadrons?
like should i be looking out for specific classes to hire?
I am a level 15 culinarist is there any food that I make people would want to buy
classes dont matter as much as balanced stats
you can switch their classes with manuals so doesn't particularly matter
You can change everything about squadron members later
Yeah. You might want to recruit for races. They don’t matter too much, but there are slight bonuses here and there.
Ok thank you so much everyone. I'll hang around for a bit just in case. My last question is, I usually make a "Human" that resembles myself, but do certain races favor certain classes?
no
there a market board in kugane ?
No.
Race is a cosmetic choice
Yes
thx again
i want to get into it and i have a gladiator that applied, should i just hire him?
Wait, really? Oof. I was wrong and enlightened.
all major cities have a market board
Sure. You can always fire him if you hit max capacity and decide you no longer want him.
If you don’t have all 8 members yet, take whoever arrives
btw i have not played this game in 2 years since my lnc/drg is 80 and for a few reasons and now that im back almost in 3 weeks now
Ok cool that's interesting compared to d&d where I started but I'm glad race isn't something important beyond avatar representation. Cool beans. Gonna play for a while. Thanks guys.
i have a lot of catching up to do so im on a learning curve again
thank you
so forgive me to ask stupid or what ever questions but im trying
whats the meaning behind the location is affecting your gathering rate!
The location is having an effect on your gathering rate
some nodes have random stat boosts like higher gathering chance, higher hq chance, higher yield etc
means that you have a boost to gathering on that node

do I just smack beasts around as BLU till I get to level 10?
no you do that to lvl 70

one more question for the night for me where i can get poetic currency beside the first part of duty which is " duty roulette and any other to tab on ???
!faq poetics
level cap content
a few from beast tribes too,
beast tribes ???
the friendly fish people/kobolds/bug people etc who want you do a few quests for them every day
You get like 10 tomestones for each or something like that
how i get there or what sorry if that is not the right question
You help the people of Eorzea be less racist
!faq beasttribes
atm i need to raise like 350 poetics for the gloves and i will pick up more to get the rest on the other side starting the shields and below
There’s how to unlock em
welp, in ARR you mostly just help the good beast tribes fight the bad beast tribes, no anti-racism happening, really.
thx you coeurl
main source is still the duty roulettes
yeah i used that today so im looking to earn a bit more
i dont expect a quick return
You'll get some from any level 50+ duties I think, more if someone (including you) hasn't done them before
So with the essence that increases attack percentage it doesn't say how long it last? Is it until you die?
until you leave the instance
its 3h which is as long as the kickout timer
so it will never run out unless you switch jobs
Oh that's amazing
So please use your God damn essences
Is Saber Dance a GCD or an oGCD
well thx folks and laters going to get some rest
gcd
disgusting
true
is there anyway to dissable battle music when ur on the fields?
ah thankss
not that i dislike it but sometimes the battle music is so off from the bgm of the area it annoys me lmao
So why is it my fenrir bike is faster than my other mounts in bonja and zadnor?
because fenrir automatically has the first movement speed for a zone, you don't have the riding maps for bozja/zadnor
Fenrir is special and always has at least level 1 mount speed in all areas
Buy the riding maps for bozja Zadnor and all mount will have level 1 mount speed
Wow didn't know that
Afaik level 2 mount speed isn't in zadnor
if you buy the riding maps for them, they cost 25 clusters per map, the rest of your mounts will move same speed
and yes, there's no 2nd speed for the bozja zones
Riding maps right?
Aye
yes
Cool thanks getting them now
Same as the ones you buy with bicolor gems in ShB areas
How does 1 get materia melded to my gear? Seeing conflicting stuff online. Do I need to level a crafter? Was told to take it to a melder NPC myself but they more or less say I'm not worthy
there is an MSQ at level 19 that introduces you to materia
It's also very unnecessary to bother with materia at low levels, due to the way that stats now work
Only thing I see online is a quest to introduce me to it if I'm melding stuff myself
Levl 80
Working on my Aug Exarch and Crypt gear xD
hmm
And for said quest it says I need a DoH at level 25
I asked in beginner lounge but no clear answer. so ill ask here. on Balmung, is there a certain city's housing area that is better for RP then others? like is one of the city's housing areas more of a RP hub?
yeah I would check NPCs by Central Thanalan 24, 14 to see if you missed a quest there
if you have done the quests, a material melder NPC will put materia in your gear no problem
anyone have any idea? I am about to choose a grand company, so i want to choose the best one for RP in housing.
grand company doesn't affect housing
I'm not on Balmung, but probably not? Also your Grand Company won't have an effect on your ability to get a house
oh ok
well other then the grand company thing, is one housing area better then another citys for RP?
Housing so so scarce, you'd be lucky to get one in any area
i know, i just want to make sure i do the right one to try for in the future
i know for the GC. im asking RP wise.
.
It also doesn't really matter where your house is. You'd advertise or host your RP event in a PF or other things.
ah ok
realistically housing is so scarce it's impossible to localise RP into any area
people rarely wander around housing areas unless they live there
or their FC is there
also this, pretty much all housing wards are ghost towns, except the specific lots sometimes
ah ok.
generally you'll just find a lost sprout/gposer or population of the one active fc wandering around
Hey guys, as a Lvl 71 Botanist in Diadem atm, if I want to farm certain item faster, is there any skill better than Kings Yield? I need to farm these to get my crafters from 60 to 70s
is the serpent officer, flame officer, or storm officer for gridania
NPCs can meld for you
for the Grand company quest
Pick Clean
oh lvl 71 nvm

I know this. But the NPC is more or less saying I'm not worthy
yeah pretty much
Maybe idk yet I'm seeing

How does retainer glamour work?
Glamour the item and then equip it to your retainer
You glamour the individual pieces and equip it on them
You can also equip the gear and use the glamour dress to glamour yourself then transfer to the Retainers as well, much more convenient
do you need to unlock all stone sky sea's to get access to the shb one?
probably
i know you need the HW one to unlock the "feature" as a whole
the SB one might be optional
ceremonies of eternal bonding are reserved in local time, right? cant find too much about it, but just want to be sure
so if I pick friday 9pm. its 9pm my time
I remember there being some resource where you could enter a list of items you wanted to craft and it provides a list of mats to gather, does anyone know about something like this?

Yes

Is there any lore behind || the azure flowers all over the eastern half of Rak'tika Greatwood? ||
Hi, one question, long time ago I buyed a Eternal Devotion Platinum, things happened and I still have it, it's out of TOS to sell it to another player?
It’s in quest dialogue so hard to find
pretty sure it's untradable like all items obtained through cash shop
|| Downhearted Viis:
The origins of this one stretch far back, to a time even before the Flood. In that bygone age lived a Viis known as Mjrl, who pined for the world beyond the Greatwood. After much contemplation, she finally resolved to leave her home.
On the day of her departure, however, she hesitated, and at this very spot turned back to take in the forest one last time. Knowing that she could never return, Mjrl began to cry.
Her sorrow stirred the spirits of the Greatwood, and from where her tears fell sprung a bubbling stream. In time that stream became a river, now known as Mjrl's Regret.
These azure flowers personify Mjrl. When we set them flowing down the river, we honor the memory of those who have gone and remind them they have not been forgotten.||
thanks!
Basically they line Mjrl’s path.
It can be tradded, that's why i'm asking
But will double check just in case
how do some ppl walk in this game, i know on controller u can, but how do u do it with keyboard?
I don't remember what the default keybind is because I changed it
but well... you can bind any key to toggle walking
I personally use LMB + RMB to move like you can in WoW
Default walk keybind is numpad slash
if you mean like roleplay slow walk then yeah its one of the slash keys
easy way: buy exarchic from the mb to get a fast track to 510
can i skip the credits for arr?
I'm in HW and I think during the ||Dragonsong quests|| (hw spoilers) and I have to choose between two coffers and not sure what differences are and don't want to choose the wrong one. Both are primal sets, one is fending and the other is slaying
fending is for tanks, slaying is for melee (barring ninja)
thank you!
when does the lodestone update? Like right now im level 28 ingame, but it shows 24.
🤷♂️
every few hours
I can't open the coffer, it says I already have one or more unique items 🤔
means you already have at least one item the coffer would award you
(probably the belt)
which is a unique (meaning you can only have one)
can you just que as a BLU?
no, blu can only use duty finder with premade parties
no more blu for now I suppose

Hi guys, how do I "kickstart" desynthesis for Goldsmithing? The lowest GSM level requirement to desyth is 5 for the simplest of items. How do i level from 1 to 4
hey, I want to buy a mount from the shop, but i am I havent done the chocobo quest yet. if I buy it now, will i be able to get it in the mail after I do the quest?
there's no level requirement for desynth, the recommended level or whatever just increases your chance for bonus/better items
you can desynth level 80 i520 stuff from desynth level 1 if you want
you'll probably get it soon after you buy it, you just won't be able to use it
Ah, alright thanks Vis. Apparently I have to be GSM level 30 before i can begin desynth as its greyed out now
Thanks!
yeah but after you unlock it then just desynth whatever to level
if it's in the approximate level range then you get more levels per desynth
i just reached ishgard and want to lvl up one of the new classes what is the fastest way to get from 30 to 50?
what is that?
ahh
!faq altlvlguide
so just dungeons?
that is the most efficient way, but if you have long queues you may wanna consider potd
also check the guide I posted
what is potd
Hi, I have just finished "The will to Resist" in the relic weapon questline. The next quest "A change of Arms" doesn't show up however. Can anyone help me with that?
what's your resistance rank?
Do the apartment housings have any option for open windows? Or at least light from windows? My apartment is so dark and gloomy. The inn has better windows

The gridania ones do not have windows
A showcase of two interior designs of private chamber sized rooms in Final Fantasy 14.
I wanted to see what was possible to accomplish within the limits of housing system in the game, and what you could potentially do with the limited space of regular private chambers. The final item count for both rooms is 100, and it serves as the main limiti...
How long do you have to wait if you accidently put in the wrong password too many times? 😐 It says a few minutes but its been like 10 and I still cant log in
Rank 5
does it need to be higher to further progress in the relic weapon questline?
ooooh, I see. Didn't see that anywhere, thanks for letting me know
What's considered the lowest GCD that's still practical to double weave with?
0.75+0.75+0.75s of animation locks makes 2.25s assuming 0 ping
So any lower than that means you'll clip
i bought the lvl 58 armor but the game tells me the i130 stuff is better even though the stats are lower
If it doesn't have your main stat on it or if it's normal quality then it's shit
palace of the dead (deep dungeon)
Is there a reason not to shoot for the lowest gcd timer possible for paladin? Idk if I'm misinterpreting the few guides I skimmed through, but they make it sound like I should only hit like 2.42 or in that ball park
I can't seem to find the quest "An Unexpected Proposal", I have everyone at 80 now and obviously up to date with the MSQ, it's not even on my "Current" and "Done" quest list 😦
Any more speed than what is necessary means you're losing more of important and far more damaging stats like crit
You only need a set amount of speed to get the required amount of gcds under buffs and inbetween buffs for alignment
More will throw off buff alignment in your overall rotation for no benefit
do you have a repeatable quest marker near the azys lla aetheryte? maybe you've done it and just looking in the wrong category of completed quests
that quest just unlocks anima weapons, then you start the actual relic questline in azys lla
Thanks! Maybe I've done it un-aware before, I still don't see it on my completed quest still, but I've seen a repeatable quest in Azys Lla now, thanks again!
question, is delubrum reginae savage scaled?
@faint flare gotcha
Is there unlockable hairstyles besides the ones that are available in the character creation
!faq hairstyle
Yes, to a point. I believe the lowest people have done it is with 24 or so
Cause golem and slimes still need bodies
im trying to finish the alliance raid quest but it's taking a really long time,, (yes all languages and undersize party is on)
The lv60 raids and dun scaith in particular aren't super popular cause people are scared of mechanics
plus dead hours for NA
That to
try around daily reset
And nothing is really attached to it so not many reasons to unlock it
At least not past the first one
Stuck in NA servers 💀
how hard is it to get a house
Extremely
Basically everything is taken and the tiny few that aren't are camped by the horde
is there even any point in getting a house if youre gonna be clicking for 100+ hours
People want houses for gardening, place to decorate/afk...social things...fastest access to market board/summoning bell
Royal Menagerie Trial anyone?
Because it's better immersion and feels like a actual place to live
there's apartments as instanced housing
Yes, like every other server
Is there a way to get previously unlocked stages of a relic for glamour purposes?
What are the benefits of doing fishing. I recently started playing and find fishing pretty chill. Its my highest lvl job/class.
Oh, word
Some culinary receipes use the fish
you can fish some minions
so it serves some purpose, cool. Most of the googling gave me results from 2015/16, and they said fishing was pretty useless 🙂
whats standard vs preferred mean
Preferred gives Road to 70
Double all xp to 70
oh damn
On all jobs
is it always preferred
It's not a super important thing, it helps levelling alts abit by making it abit faster
also what should i do with my 250k gil since im on free trial and the trial gil limit is 300k
Could spend it on orchestration rolls
uhh whats that
There's a music player and you could play music that you unlock through orchestrion rolls
you can put them in a machine in player housing and it'll play 0.1KB/s music ingame
Could also spend it on vendor gear for jobs you're planning to level or play
hi is there a fc recruitment channel?
Recruitment channels below
what does green vs red named mean in ward selection
Open to visitors vs not
Equip the pugilist weapons you were given
Ensure you save your prior class as a gear set
Save every class as a gear set
Then you can switch between them with a single button press.
As for leveling methods
Okay cool. So I need to swap to them to level them because it's all individual?
!faq altlvlguide
Your class is determined by your weapon.
you dont stack tank cooldowns right?
Generally no.
Only if absolutely necessary to survive
cool
Only really in savage
im figuring out how GNB's camouflage works
Cause those busters fucking hurt
it seems weird
!action camouflage
Too bad they don't get atleast half the exp from my main class or so :C
10% mitigation and then an increase of an rng additional 15% mitigation
his main tank cooldown seems to be Nebula
It's nice on trash
!action nebula
All tanks have a 30% mitigation tool
ye
stacking the straight % reduction ones reduces each one's effective power because maths, but there are
a) some cooldowns which are so light you're okay to do that
b) some cooldowns which aren't a % reduction but are something else, which might also be a) and
c) occasionally in raids you'll want to stack big numbers because there's a HUGE single-target hit incoming
It has a longer cooldown.
with WAR its a 35% with a parry
Parry mitigation is the same across all job
oh
!action vengeance
No parry here, and it’s still 30
Cooldowns stack multiplicity
The hit-back effect isn’t what “parry” refers to
meant literal parry
Parry is just chance to mitigate extra.
I know yeahj
So rampart + 30% makes like a 44% mitigation or whatever
That’s not even what the word parry means so...

Can i find mining nodes even if I dont have pickaxe equipped?
Or be on another gatherer with Prospect cross-classed
But I wouldn’t bother with that personally
Also, GNB's general rotation seems to be get those cartridges and use that Wicked Talon combo in big payoff mode
with burst strike as an inbetweener when youre just wailing on enemies/the boss
correct, ya, that's the backbone
Under no mercy
under no mercy
It lines up perfectly
yep
what does an empty house slot look like
I figuired maybe during my combo
Auction hammer on the map
what about in ward selection
what you want in your no mercy windows is: A full cartridge combo, Blasting/Danger Zone, Sonic Break, Bow Shock and Bloodfest for some more burst strikes during no mercy
but bloodfest won't occure every no mercy window
is it a certain color?
Just standard white
alright thx
heres a sketchy setup, IDK if its alright
if it works for you it's alright
damn looks like theres no houses to buy
do the combo first
Get the cartridge first
yeah ofc
optimal timing for no mercy is after brutal shell btw
and then danger zone after solid barrel
the plan seems to be do 123 twice, and then burst strike while saving up one cartridge, when its go time youll at least have one leftrover cartridge
Put always hold 1 cartridge yes
yess
I'm level 21 and I can't find the person who gives the Chocobo unlock quest at all
Uhm. I've never played Final fantasy, is it just me or is it kind of a star-wars vibe when you leave the starting area for the next? Looks very space-y
@cursive wind you have to buy it from the grand company iirc
there’s a bit of sci-fi stuff in this game, but it’s not “space-y” no.
Only close thing to space is astro lb3 I feel
The bad guys are really into magitek
are retired chocobo registrations still useful after completed breeding of the next tier?
oh okay can i join any grand company?
You can join any you like
Yeah
Story progress is everything
It's tied to the story

In every major city, marked on the map
yeeeee
can i throw away my journal and get a new one and start again
i can do it multiple times in the one week?
OH my god
You can turn one in from the previous week and then do one from the current week
Right, you can get a new one once per week. That includes getting a new one immediately if you turn one in the week after you accept it
Ah yeah i knew that part, oh well i got very unlucky x.x
you're limited to receiving one per weekly reset.
if you still have your previous week's book you can turn that in and receive the current week's one, making it possible to complete 2 in one week.
any idea which dungeon gives 2 mil or nearly that much? i'm lv 69 atm and need 2 mil to reach 70
Apologies for the basic questions that a million folks before me have probably asked - I haven't even started the game but I'm already hitting a roadblock deciding how I should be choosing all the region and language stuff as an expat in Japan. Here is what I understand so far:
- Play the non-Steam trial before playing through Steam (something about, no going back once you've linked Steam?)
- When buying the game on Steam, you need to buy in the same region as your Square Enix account (I assume this means, my Steam marketplace?)
- This also determines how I get billed once I purchase the game, from what I understand? As in, I need Japanese payment info like a Japanese credit card?
- I can also select Language and Region when installing the trial - from googling around, I need to choose "Japan and Japanese" and then in-game I can change to English?
Does that all sound correct? Are there any other caveats I need to be aware of, or things I should do? My main concern is setting it up right so that when I return to the US, it's not going to get complicated. Sounds like from the character side I can do a simple world transfer, not so sure about the billing / buying expansions, etc
you can also the second chance points
just do the 69 dungeon, or some roulettes/SB beast tribes
yeah i used them xd
What's the Necrologos Transcription from Gubal (Hard) for?
Its a housing item
ah thx
It is apparently HUGE

Yes everything correct
Hello I need some help!
I can't actually find the re-installer for this game
For which platform?
PC
Windows
I can't remember which region my ACC is from either since im OCE
and there's no OCE servers
I got to the first HW credits, should I be ignoring the relic weapon stuff until shadowbringers and/or forever?
Relic items are a transmog only purpose IMO
unless you'r int he current content
Then they're worth grinding
thought so
relics are glam yeah
If you log into the website you should be able to check where your characters are at.
What materia do BRDs want... Crit?
Faerie & Tonberry
I can loginto the mog station
just dunno where to go to actually install the game
how much mettle is it in total for 10/10/10 in bozja?
Crit > DH > det, iirc brd can function at any sks
Faerie is NA. This might work: https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&kid=68516
600 mil
Holy shit
200 mil to cap 1 stat
Also I'm thinking I might just re-start without using my ACC
thanks and holy shit lmao nvm
@gritty oracle Ahhh yeah I was assuming it'd be crit just because of the way that one song works.
since I'm not even past HW yet
Man I need to unlock Bozja someday. I never even unlocked Eureka before, lol.
BRD Songs don't work on yourself, only everyone else. Old guides may say that crit increases proc rate but that's no longer true.
@gritty oracle Oh I was thinking of Mage's Ballad, I thought I remembered it only procing the cooldown reset when your DoTs critted for some reason, I guess it's just when the DoTs do damage.
That was in stormblood
It used to be that way, but no longer
It was changed in shadowbringers
Ahhh okay.
Can dots even crit anymore?
Is there a way to transfer a character from 1 account to another account?
All I know about BRD is it's freakin' impossible to make sure you keep a song up, your DoTs up, keep using your DD abilities AND not miss any boss mechanics all at the same time, lol.
I don't mean literally impossible, it's just really really really hard. I can't pay attention to that many things at once.
See that's extremely fustrating
Thanks for the confirmation - does this mean that billing information can't change countries after initial creation? Since that would mean a SE account in a different region, buying the expansions in a different regino, etc
As someone who's a hobbyist BRD main, I disagree. It's quite fun juggling procs, songs and IJ
I would love to be able to play the game for free til 60 even tho I've had an account before
It is fun but it is difficult to split your attention.
Juggling your class stuff becomes muscle memory at a point
I mean I -like- BRD, it can just be mentally exhausting trying to deal with it during a hectic boss fight.
Not every class is for everyone. If you find BRD too hard, you may want to switch jobs.
On the other hand I find DNC (granted I only just picked it up so still 60 and missing many abilities I'm sure) fairly simplistic.
Cause it is
it is often referred to as the easiest job in the game
it gets a bit faster at 80 during their burst window
but that is really it, press the glowy buttons
So with DNC... is there any reason NOT to use your feather as soon as you get it? Like the abilities don't seem to do MORE damage if you have 2, 3 or 4 feathers. Is it just so you can hold onto them for more opportune moments?
you save them for your burst window later
Ahhh.
Is there a client for NA and EU?>
My original main was PLD actually (because catgirls tanks are best tanks) and I find that rather easy too. Not as easy as ARR PLD was of course... but nothing's that easy, lol.
or is it all the same client?
same client except for china afaik
I need help with a macro. I am using this macro to change to another job and sort my inventory with one click:
/gs change 1
/hudlayout 1
/wait
/isort condition armoury ilv des
/isort execute armoury
/wait
/isort condition inventory des
/isort execute inventory
/e Inventory and Armoury Sorted
/hotbar display 9 off
/hotbar copy GLA 1 share 10```
It seems to work, my inventory and armory chest are sorted, but im still getting an error code:
`"des" is not a valid condition"`
Anyone know happen to know why im getting the error code even though the macro is doing its job?
I think it is the same client.
probably sorts descending by default
There are oceanic servers coming later as well. Something to consider.
WHAT
WHERE
HOW
WHY NOW
not now, in 6.1 like jan/feb
Is this a troll?
It was announced at Fan Fest I think? Yeah, going to be a bit of a wait.
Now does this mean I can transfer off for free?
Do we know what Data server they're on
You should Yes
Without the condition "des" the macro wont work at all
New servers mean you can transfer to those for free
And you get a few things for doing so
I mean yes yes it is because I'm still stuck in HW
Housing, fc stuff all gets transferred to new servers iirc
Oh so
I just got to Namai and I noticed during one of the cutscnes, what looked like wolf people. They had wolf heads and everything. After the cutscene though, there were no wolf people anywhere in the village. Is this a race that comes back again later, or just a background filler? lol
I can't instantly have a new house
dunno then 
Well I believe you get compensation of you already have a house
Basically get your money back
But all the plots should be all open
Including new ishgard plotd
They are a beast tribe in the area. I don't remember doing much with them.
Thanks anway 👍
Ah, thank you! Well what a shame, they looked really cool. xD
Lupins are kinda here and there
They mostly appear in Doma related stuff
Don't get to interact with them super much
no beast tribe with quests though, yeah
Background npcs
Lupins don't have a beast tribe but they show up in the Namazu Beast Tribe unlock quests
kinda like padjal or whatever
And in the MSQ a bit
lupins are fully integrated into doman society so they aren’t really a “beast tribe”
Where's my playable lupins SE /ragethread
What should i grow in my housing plot that would give the best gil income?
that’s server dependent
What is the benefit of Standard v Entry subscriptions
Im completely new to housing as i just got one last week, so i have no idea
More characters
That's it
why would I want more than 1?
Market
Market?
Role-playing, avoiding weekly locks, playing on different data centres
Having more things to do juggling both characters
I guess that's something for me in future
atm it's more getting through theg ame which is my issue
Most don't have alts
Outside of maybe going to go play with others on a different data centre
Or the few raid alts
Yeah that's lost on me
the entire appeal was being able to do everything on 1 character
unlike wow where I had 1 of each class
Not needed at all in the slightest
Some people like to make alts for troll glamour purposes.
troll glam?
Can be funny but that is a lot of effort for a joke.
Who needs an alt for that /s
btw is there a way to change my name?
Name, race, glamour combinations. People will make close copies of certain NPCs or silly parodies of characters from other games/media. I had a dungeon with mario and luigi the other week.
Twintania has a guy named Daddy Godbert
he does look like Hildis dad, just more... pink
WE HAVE SUCCESS!
when do i get the grand company quest? im lvl 24 and nothing still
someone have a good squadron list which npc is bis?
Do that MSQ 🙂
thats all ive been doing 😦
it's at msq lvl 20
It is not dependent on your level. It is just part of the quest line.
so compare that with your current msq level and you get an idea
You will get there in no time!
then you're close, just gotta finish the first 3 dungeons
can I farm in bozja at lv 70? or do I need to be at lv 71 to enter
71
okey, thank you!
thanks ive just done the 3 dungeons
yeah, just keep going
why do people meld direct hit on Kirin armor?
Because people love direct hit
Is there any mod that shows hunt targets on the map?
Mods are against ToS
probably not since they still have like a limited render range
and the game won't log something it didn't load
wait WTF
why is
Heavens Eye 7
less then Heavens eye 6
is this too early for me
5 and 6 are the SB equivalents of 7 and 8
Man... I never noticed lol
hey guys.. I'm level 30 atm... I've heard there's food that gives exp bonus... how do I get food?
You can buy it off the marketboard or make it as a culinarian.
is there any that gives more EXP?
no
3% to be exact
3% IS AMAZING
I've had people argue about 1% differences in wow to min/max
give me 3% more anything I'm happy
There was some event cross over food with like papa John's but you can't get that anymore
there was a sweet bun promo item that gave +4% but yeah its kind of a meme
what makes food distinct is their stat bonus, but that only matters in an endgame context
excuse me what
Yes
There was a papa John's promotion
how many animal suits are there? i know of chicken and toad
!faq meta
Oh I'm not talking about meta
I'm more speaking of to play the game / story and progress
there's a pig too in the gold saucer iirc
all of them start reasonably slow
between gladiator and maruder, what does everyyone think is more of a fun class for a new player?
whoops, wrong reply
either
you wanna be a big axe guy or you wanna be sword and shield guy?
whichever said new player thinks is cooler
very subjective
whats more fun depends on your preference tbh
do you want sword and shield or big axe?
I picked Marauder because I didn't realize it was not a DPS class
it's a tank
Tank job
ah 😄
Yeah I missed the not part there haha
I was like Ohhh marauder sounds awesome
smack smack
IRC... ti's a tank
All classes are DPS classes :). Some just also tank and heal.
Inner Release sure makes me forget im a tank lol
I have this problem of rerolling everytime to a new class.. never get past 20-30 because I get bored of the skills... I need to stick it out... because classes get better later right... -_-
all of them are pretty slow until 60 or so
then at 80 they all feel great
mm some get faster before level 60
red mage feels great at the start, machinist does by 40-50ish
try those maybe
are retired chocobo registrations still useful after completed breeding of the next tier?
are any classes ping dependent?
Machinist is the only real major offender
Due to heat blast and higher ping making it impossible to weave during it
The classes with more double weaves and burst windows, yeah.
ninja and monk should be alright?? I have like 200ping from Australia -_-
I have heard some people complain about ninjas. Can't confirm because I haven't played.
are the level 60 idyllshire blue quests all dungeons?
Those jobs single weave anyway so should be fine
most of them
there's also the HW raid and the HW relic
Im lvl 60 for free trial. should i buy the starter edition or complete edition?
complete
to level up higher you need complete
trial and starter edition are identical in content
ok thanks
do I get anything for completing all lv80 ShB class quest?
The quests from your trainers? No afaik
Doing all role quests gives you an additional quest line for lore
is it fine to not remember side characters and stuff if youre invested into the story
Side characters have a tendency to return. Not all of them, obviously.
But just have fun!
i basically forgot everything from base ARR other than the main progression of major events
which i still dont really remember that well
and now im in arr+ not knowing who tf these side characters are
"hey anarchy! remember how you saved me from" "no"
You can always review scenes in the inn if you want to review. Otherwise, just do what you find fun.
I don't think you should feel pressured to do it if you don't want to.
Story will still be good.
i wouldnt worry too much about it
if you don't remember them, you don't remember them 🤷♂️
I am on my second time through the MSQ and there is a lot I missed the first time. It was still good. The second time has been a treat though.
can always ask here "who was so and so" if you really want a refresher
i had to look up louisioux levelleuir cause they never mentioned them or atleast i dont remember so

how do i get matoya's hat?
since he was more important to 1.0
its a bonus code for buying the eorzea encyclopedia vol.2
is there anyway of knowing that you've hit the enemy in the rear/flank for the damage bonus?
where do I get totems of light?
Sos Ex
yeah, 200ms ping is luxury still. People from Brazil have 250+ ms if they play in NA DC
how does ping affect the game
and I've seen one of them shared his result playing summoner on current savage tier
Is there a way to predict if a laser wall is about to activate/deactivate in dal?
is there any raiding primary discord servers or is this the one?
!faq balance
@patent citrus I believe it... I'm rolling monk atm. I just dont understand how I know I've hit a enemy from the rear or flank.. damage seems the same
you need other people in your party to tell you where to dodge
thx
The room before the Laser halls have monitors
That tells you where the lasers will hit
Usually one person calls out safe zones in shout
Out of the group that stays behind
This is a long shot but here goes. I originally had finished the quest to get Soul of the Crafter(s) back in HW. Came back way late into ShB, looked at these and had no clue what to do with them and tossed them. Now that I know what they're for, is there a way to get them back?
the NPC is in Azys La
I mean the walls
It's a relic quest
yes @spiral inlet
so wait can you max only have 3 stats
on the eureka weapon?
how does this thing work lol
250+ ping in savage?
if you keep applying mnemes then after some upgrades you get more "lines"
like that's 2 lines i think? its like 5 rolls of secondaries between 60 and 200
iirc
Is there a way to activate the game on Steam if I bought it through SE's site?
