[frosty wave]

[sour pumice]

[winter coral]

Yeah

[neon pelican]

I heard someone talk about "The books" and they were annoying, but good to do. Anyone know what that is?

[faint flare]

Arr relics books

[sour pumice]

yeah dps would have a longer que time

[winter coral]

Usually it takes like 5 minutes

Now it’s taken at least 20

[sour pumice]

what duty is that btw ?

[winter coral]

The Navel

[faint flare]

Well it is early for NA

[boreal aurora]

did the f2p 14days started already cuz i loged in to download the game?

i finished dl now it asks again to login

[jade quartz]

yes

[unreal zodiac]

i am big confuse.
I am a arcanist, i just got a staff and can become a conjurer, i dont see that listed online and dont really get what that is.
I do see red mage, black mage, blue mage and summoner

[winter coral]

It took me Into the wrong duty

[fierce tendon]

So I am trying to get all arr mounts but I am kinda stucked on Ifrit. Problem is that he goes immortal always on 6%HP and I just cant destroy all nails and survive for that long. Yes I do wait after 3 nails for debuff to end. Lvl 77 Ninja 398ilvl

[faint flare]

You have to do the nails or burst him harder

[green grail]

level up more and get better gear, or take a healer/overleveled friend

[winter coral]

Can you leave duty’s cause it took me into the wrong one and I can’t be fucked to do this

[boreal storm]

Conjurer is a healer, the others are magic dps

[sour pumice]

you can but you'll get a penalty

[winter coral]

Ffs

[unreal zodiac]

when can i become a red or blue mage, whats the diff?

[faint flare]

Red mage is lv50

Blue mage is finish Base arr

Blue mage is a limited job who learns spells from enemies

[boreal aurora]

whats bluemages max lvl is it still 50

[faint flare]

70

[boreal aurora]

kk

[velvet gorge]

My sub ran out on Jul. 8th.

-Does that mean I'm eligible for the free login campaign on the first week of August?
-If yes, will accessing my in-game house during that period reset the demolition timer?

[opaque fiber]

Are there patch notes for 5.58?

[faint flare]

The patch isn't out

So no

[fervent basin]

Am I able to get up there with walking?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[faint flare]

Yes, second floor of anyx trine

You go there for story

[sour pumice]

yes just did that because i was lost XD

[fervent basin]

ok no wonder I couldn't go up there lmao I need one more air current and then the quest ones. I wanted to get my whm quest done but its up there

[boreal storm]

You can walk there

[faint flare]

You can walk there

[fervent basin]

o

[faint flare]

The story just asks you to go there later as well

[sour pumice]

its actually underground if u looking for the aether current

[faint flare]

It's inside the mountain

Which anyx trine takes you into

[fervent basin]

is it were the crystal is?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ashen kite]

What's the point of gear if everything is synced?

[fervent basin]

I didn't know there was stair cases behind the crystal

[faint flare]

It only syncs down, not up

So you need gear to actually ENTER THE DUNGEON in the first place

[boreal aurora]

how do i make chat bigger? its exteremly small

i already set ui to 1440p

[faint flare]

Plus current raids don't sync you

[vivid spindle]

Hey, I'm starting to plan raids with my group, is there any sort of spreadsheets/site where you can keep track of your FC players?

Somthing like this but updated
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/c6luek/ffxiv_spreadsheet_v20_shadowbringers_edition/

[boreal aurora]

how to i make chat bigger

actually it alot smalelr than it looks lie in screenshot

[faint flare]

Little corner tab in the top right of the chat window

[vivid spindle]

You can grab on its corner and drag it to the size you want

[faint flare]

Click and drag

[boreal aurora]

i want the letters to be bigger

[ashen kite]

I was just confused cause I was doing extreme trails and it doesn't matter it feels like it doesn't matter what gear I have

[faint flare]

There is a clear difference between the mini ilvl of a duty and it's max

Especially in dps

You skip a handful of mechanics

[green grail]

updated how, says it's updated for shadowbringers

[faint flare]

Also where the hell is the vexed emote

I ain't seeing it in the seasonal vendor/campaign guy

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm new and I like crowded very busy servers. I also am more into community events/afking. I want to get more into the night clubs/bars/cafes scene. What's the best server or date center to join in the NA?

balmung if you want to do roleplay

[green grail]

balmung

[leaden ginkgo]

balmung on the crystal data center

not like big RP, iust like chill bars or nightclub hangouts

[teal hearth]

question regarding gold saucer event quest :
I failed the deduction once and when retry I only success at releasing Hugue but the true culprit is not yet exposed, did the quest just ended here ?

[leaden ginkgo]

well every server has them

and you can server jump

but balmung is our "designated rp server"

player designated ^

[leaden ginkgo]

is server jumping only within data centers?

yeah

[green grail]

there's a true ending where you find the culprit, but it doesn't give you anything extra, just more to the cutscene

[leaden ginkgo]

theres not going to be a data center that doesnt have what you are looking for

its a pretty big part of ff14

that whole aspect of the game

[leaden ginkgo]

okay cool. ty 🙂

[teal hearth]

So I have to redo the quest but pick different choice, right ?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a servr or date center more popular than the rest?

[green grail]

yeah, get all hints and pick the correct dialogue options

[teal hearth]

ok,thank a bunch. I just wanna kick that real culprit so badly, that's all

[leaden ginkgo]

crystal is pretty popular

but so is whatever one asmon hopped onto

[spare hawk]

is the game on maint? or is it over, or when does it start

[green grail]

https://twitter.com/Bwin4L/status/1416718929309884419/photo/1 it's not that big of a difference

[unreal zodiac]

how do people have these flying mounts?

[boreal aurora]

1million players ? :0

[green grail]

all mounts fly, you just need to unlock flying in the zone

[leaden ginkgo]

is that pre or post asmon?

[agile laurel]

This chart counts active 61+ players

[unreal zodiac]

how?

[agile laurel]

Asmonsprouts won't be considered

[leaden ginkgo]

you honestly dont need to worry about joining the wrong data center i promise you there will be more than enough clubs/cafes/etc then you can keep up with on any of them

[unreal zodiac]

also how do u get other mounts?

i only know u get chocobo at 20?

im lvl 19

[agile laurel]

Level 20 msq*

[leaden ginkgo]

your msq has to be 20 yeah

[agile laurel]

Not level 20

[green grail]

for base game you need to finish base game msq at level 50, for expansion zones you need to find currents in the zone

you can see most mounts here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TZiVFt_mNk

[solar plover]

is there a linkshell for hunting rare fates like "Foxy Lady"

[leaden ginkgo]

that would be something youd ask in your recruitment(insert data center) chat rather than here

[alpine shadow]

not a linkshell, but there is a discord https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[leaden ginkgo]

centurio does fates too?

[alpine shadow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

o dang learn something new everday

[unreal zodiac]

how do i tell what lvl my msq is?

[agile laurel]

Read the quest box

It says on it when you accept one

[deep meteor]

is it really recommended to level up your main class before you switch to a new one? i'm pugilist but wanted to be a rogue/ninja ideally

[agile laurel]

Alternatively check your journal but I can't remember where that'd be

[unreal zodiac]

ok, thanks a lot guys

[agile laurel]

!faq armorybonus

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named armorybonus exists, Kupo!

[agile laurel]

Fuck

uh

Basically, having a higher level job gives you more exp for lower level

That's the only reason

[unreal zodiac]

im currently on an airship goin to diff places, dont rly get what the point of going thru these places are yet

different jobs?

i got conjurer from one place i went

[low sun]

it just takes you to the 3 capital cities of the main game

[unreal zodiac]

i dun wanna play healer though

[unreal zodiac]

anything i should be doing there?

oh hype this town is pretty cool

[deep meteor]

just follow the main quest

[agile laurel]

You'll be going back to those places more times than is worth counting

[unreal zodiac]

has the mini cactus men

[twilit arch]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[low sun]

I uhh, I dont really know what to say, if theres something you wanna do yea go there ^^ just focus on MSQ and your main job quest first tho i'd say

[deep meteor]

so in other words i can probably switch classes now and it wouldn't be that big of a deal, tbh. i don't think the leveling is that slow in this game anyway

[twilit arch]

yep

[low sun]

I like to do every single unlock quest I come across (blue quest icon) but you can also just unlock stuff later when you need it

[tropic fiber]

where would i find hunt trains? is there like a seperate discord where people ping for it, or do i just look for it ingame

[unreal zodiac]

does it matter what city i join craftring guilds in

[faint flare]

Centurio hunts discord is the main big hunt discord

[unreal zodiac]

theres weaver guild here, a gold smith guild etc etc

[twilit arch]

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[faint flare]

No cause you ideally do them all

[low sun]

there are no duplicate crafting guilds

and you can learn all combat and crafting jobs on the same character, so dont have to decide

[unreal zodiac]

ok cool thanks

[fervent vale]

what the fuck is this

[low sun]

I've heard the login security tends to misfire a lot, using a VPN usually triggers it, but even simply having a new IP can sometimes be enough

[fervent vale]

my IP address is dynamic and it changes every time I reboot my router, do I have to do this shit everytime I get a power failure or smth

[low sun]

Yea probably a stupid misfire then

Yes, talk to the campaign attendant

Thank you vinyl

@fervent vale it should usually send you a mail when this happens with instructions on how to lift the restriction, if it didn't I wouldn't know how to fix it aside from writing support sry :/

[twin tree]

Hello! Finishing up ShB soon. I want to buy a lvl 70 pass for a DPS character, but what is the fastest way to lvl a DPS from 70-80? Thanks 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

playing the game

[faint flare]

Roulettes and pixies to 71 then bojza

[twin tree]

Thank you 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Trusts are about the same speed as Bozja too..

I hate Bozja

Generic error message

i keep getting when i click play

havent played the game before and just downloaded it

any help?

I can't read that language sry

[slim berry]

is there a way i can change languages?

[oak ice]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/39210/discussions/0/34095684567443349/ try this

That just says ffxiv has encountered an error

Nothing more

[solid cipher]

Is the early game worth slogging through to get to the ‘good part’ even if i’m not playing for the story

[slim berry]

oh thank you!

[oak ice]

I can't guarantee it works, I haven't had that issue myself

[low sun]

I did and despite being slow and not caring much for the story I still liked unlocking and playing all the instanced stuff one after another

[solid cipher]

How long does it take to get to the ‘good part’?

[low sun]

I uhhh, I guess that depends what you call the good part

[faint flare]

Depends what the "good part" for you is

The story is the majority of the game

[low sun]

I just really, REALLY like dungeons in this game, and they start early and there wasnt a single one I hated (theres a metric fuckton), so I got enjoyment rather quickly

[spare hawk]

is there a limit to how many levequests u can do (per day)?

[twilit arch]

as many as you have allowances for

[faint flare]

Yes, you have leve allowances

You get 3 per 12 hours

[twilit arch]

which you can only hold 100 of

[ebon shoal]

Which oath should I swear? Does it affects anything depending on what choice I make?

[pulsar escarp]

shouldn't affect anything

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter

[spare hawk]

okay ty

[ebon shoal]

okay... thanks

Basically all dialogue choices are fluff

[frigid willow]

Hi, I’m new to this Discord and pretty new to FF14 (just got to the end of Stormblood). I’m looking for a group to run Rathalos Extreme unsynced, but I don’t see a channel/room to discuss that. Does anyone know of a channel for that?

Edit: thx for replies everyone

[hardy lichen]

If I'm getting an entry subscription but have 2 characters how do I choose which character I want the subscription to go to?

[faint flare]

Recruitment channels below

[alpine shadow]

you can just open a party finder for it, it's easy to do.

as in, fight not difficult.

[rustic flare]

Not too long ago, I tried to solo The Lost City of Amdapor to continue my ARR relic adventures. I could not clear it for my item level was too low at the time. Now my white mage has full deepshadow gear which is now item level 465. The question is, can I still clear said dungeon that my white mage is full deepshadow?

[visual mist]

Hi all, could anyone help me?

I am level 45 on the free trial, I just bought the complete edition but it is the wrong region so it will not work on my account.

I am thinking of finishing the ARR on my free trial, then making a new account to redeem the complete edition, buy an ARR skip and a level boost.

would that work?

[gusty island]

i have a question about

!fr

[zinc orbit]

Fashion Report for the week of 7/16/2021 (Week 181)

Resets in 18 hours, 45 minutes, 19 seconds

[gusty island]

looking at the "easy 100 points" category right now

if im reading this correctly, i have to use all of the items in that box, and then any random ones for the other slots?
this week, youre also supposed to use a top "near eastern nights". this is included in a box across the top, but NOT in the "easy 100 points" box.
does this mean that i can instead opt for any random top if i have the other items from the "easy 100 points" box?

[twilit arch]

yes

the easy point section uses items that are either low level or cost/dyes to get the points needed

The rest of the slots are free to use whatever to fill in

[gusty island]

alright, perfect. time to get my first 100 points hopefully and then never bother with this again

[fervent basin]

um where do I go now to get that current

[twilit arch]

go back to anyx trine and head to the middle floor to enter into the cave

[gritty oracle]

I think you gotta go through either the top or bottom floor of anyx trine and cross into a big ass cavern system

[boreal storm]

Wrong bridge

Gets em every time

[spark monolith]

what do i train on my squadron?

[twilit arch]

if when you cross the bridge, you see the side of the mountain, you went to the top floor

which is not what you wanna do

[gritty oracle]

I'd say keep the three stats fairly even, and retrain as necessary for flagged missions

[fervent basin]

So do I need to climb the mountain?

[low sun]

Can you get back the starter clothes for a job? Like the lvl50 samurai outfit once discarded/sold/whatever?

[tiny crag]

is this a good BLM guide? I'm trying to figure out how to best use my class, but there are so many conflicting answers on it

https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/guide/starting-off/

[twilit arch]

If you're on the mountain side, you used the wrong bridge

[real glade]

I have decided to start playing ffxiv and i think i want to play red mage. In my research i jave founf out that i need to be lvl 50 and play any of the dps classes to access it but can i have chosen a more advanced job such as dragoon or bard and still change into red mage or do i have to stay as archer?

[twilit arch]

you need to go into the cave

[gritty oracle]

No, get the other bridge from anyx trine. You shouldn't have to climb the mountain for anything

[boreal storm]

Any lvl 50 unlocks red mage

[gritty oracle]

You can get to lv60 as archer, and then pick up red mage and never look back

Eventually you'll likely want to level all classes

[novel zodiac]

guys tbh I didnt understand how dancer works.. is it a ranged DPS or a support? is it hard or easy? and is it good or not a good class?

[haughty topaz]

how can i check my progress with currents ?

[twilit arch]

travel menu > aether currents

[fervent basin]

wth I can't send my picture anymore

[gritty oracle]

Ranged DPS that has some support features. I'd say it's pretty easy, just gets very busy during tech step, but it's just whack-a-moling fans and esprit. Every class is good, dancer is on the more popular side

[haughty topaz]

ty

[fervent basin]

thanks discord

[frosty badger]

are augmented Cryptlurker weapons better than resistance weapons?

[gritty oracle]

Resistance? Yes. Blade's weapons? No.

[low sun]

I'm not a particularly great player and I find Dancer both enjoyable and rather easy to play

[real glade]

but can i get to lvl 50 as a bard and then become a red mage?

[frosty badger]

i see a noticle stat bonues with Cryptlurker ones

[low sun]

You can level all jobs on the same character

[gritty oracle]

Yes. I don't even think you need good gear because you won't be fighting as bard during the unlock quest

[maiden palm]

doing fates makes other come faster? or even if i clear em all i gotta wait same time for next wave

[novel zodiac]

and machinist? I actually thought of playing it but im not sure if its easy or hard. seems really different than anything I played before and I thought imma give it a try

but if its hard than yeah imma give it up cuz its my 1st MMORPG lol

[mental nebula]

Is there an easy way to find specific shop in the city? LIke the grocery or fishing one?

[pulsar escarp]

it's easy but has a good ping requirement

[gritty oracle]

Resistance weapons are ilvl485, very much lower than cryptlurker. You need to work to augment your resistance weapon so it g TS better

[pulsar escarp]

feels busy but it's quite simple and pretty satisfying to play

[dense vortex]

is it possible to play together with a friend on a different world? (same data center, both trial acc)

[gritty oracle]

Only so many fates can be active in a zone, so if you're fishing for a specific one, clearing the map may help it spawn

[gritty oracle]

Yes, but you need a paying person to party you up and make a Linkshell for you

[low sun]

All physical ranged DPS (Bard, Machinist, Dancer) have a small support toolkit, so they are a bit similar in that way, their playstyles differ tho, it's probably best to just try them all. You unlock Machinist and Dancer later than Archer anyway, so could start wit that and see if you like ranged DPS in general

[frosty badger]

how is blade weapons better?

[gritty oracle]

Idk if Garland Tools factors in the adjustable stats, which is one of the biggest draws of the blade

[dense vortex]

Thanks!

[frosty badger]

can you show ingame stats of a blade weapon?

[junior walrus]

What are Achievement FATEs and do they reward something or are they just for fun?

[twilit arch]

the relic weapon you choose your own stats

[frosty badger]

oh

[gritty oracle]

It varies. Basically you have a bunch of points to spend on substats

[dense vortex]

Can we change worlds later on if we decide to?

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/6/67/Stat_Refinement_UI.png like so

[fervent vale]

can't even invite to party ? in free-trial

[junior walrus]

no

[sour pumice]

You can but it cost like 18$

[junior walrus]

you can always ask someone to create a party for you and invite your friend though

[gritty oracle]

Some of them give minions, orchestrion rolls or glam. The pure achievement ones are just for completionism

[dense vortex]

Ah, no free first transfer?

[junior walrus]

didnt know that, ty

[leaden ginkgo]

For the fashion report, as I've never done it before, it says you get 4 attempts at it. Does this mean you can hit the max MGP reward 4x different times or do you only get that once?

[frosty badger]

does it a shit load of time to get a Blade weapon?

[sour pumice]

Nope

[twilit arch]

you only get rewards once.

[gritty oracle]

Nope, only get the 60k once, but if you're shooting for 100, you get 4 chances

[gritty oracle]

Yes. It's a very long grind

[leaden ginkgo]

ah so any subsequent attempts grant you no reward if you're able to hit the 100 rating the first time?

[frosty badger]

tsk, I see

[twilit arch]

correct

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you, I've kind of ignored this until now, appreciate the information and have a lovely day

[fervent vale]

guys, how can I play with my friend in free-trial when I can't invite him to party or add him as friend ???

[sour pumice]

Ask someone to create a party for you guys

[fervent vale]

we don't have friends in this game, we are new 😦

yes

[gritty oracle]

Ask novice network

[leaden ginkgo]

just go to a main city and ask some randoms

[odd glacier]

hey guys i have a question, my friend wants to gift me shadowbringers on steam but when he trys it doesn’t work, does anyone know why this may be?

[dusty shard]

how to lock camera to always be behind ur character ?

[gritty oracle]

Are you on legacy or standard camera?

[dusty shard]

standard i think

[unreal zodiac]

help

i just turned level 20 and something popped up mid combat and disappeared, what did it say

[low sun]

Just to be sure, you own the base game?

[odd glacier]

yeah i do

[sour pumice]

How do you expect us to know ? XD

[low sun]

Does he get any error message?

[dusty shard]

rly? having trouble with dodge cause camera kinda jank

[gritty oracle]

Check event chat Tab. It was likely recorded.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is recruit a friend not active anymore i dont see a way to get my code?

[odd glacier]

it says the transaction could not be completed

[gritty oracle]

Have you recruited 5 people?

[gritty oracle]

Do you own base game?

[odd glacier]

yeah

[unreal zodiac]

i assume its whatever the set msg pops up at lvl 20

[low sun]

Hmm sorry can't help wit hthat, BUT he could just give you the money in digital steam wallet cards and you buy it yourself

[stray dawn]

since there's this MGP event, whats a good way to farm some MGP?

[unreal zodiac]

sadly not

that could be an idea thanks!

[dry creek]

How can I get a new "Vexed" emote? I did the event(The Great Horn Heist) correctly, thought I would get it by completion

[low sun]

like if it costs 35 bucks he can send you a 10 and 25 card

[leaden ginkgo]

[unreal zodiac]

the ''duty finder'' will teleport me into the lvl 15 dungeon once the party is full right?

[gritty oracle]

Yes

And usually plop you right outside the entrance once you finish
I think

SHB Dungeons do that

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know any active discord servers that do activities like primal farming or things similar?

[gritty oracle]

Party Finder usually has primal farms in it, also larger free companies may organize mount farming events

[grim bison]

@shadow geyser thanks for the help earlier, I reinstalled it and I was able to enter hall of novices - even completed the whole thing 😄

[crimson wharf]

how can we join free companies?

[gritty oracle]

Just hang around any major city and you'll eventually be flooded with invites lmao
Otherwise community finder, party Finder or word of mouth

Is there a list of items that got a price reduction in make it rain? Im not home to see right now

[faint flare]

There's alot

[hardy scroll]

a lot of mount or a lot of ways?

[faint flare]

https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts

Yes

[hardy scroll]

yes

lol

is it possible to get a mount in the trail version?

trial*

[faint flare]

Yes

Extreme trials is where most mounts are

7 per expansion/level cap

• the final mount for getting all the extremes for that era

Ie the ponies from Arr for kirin

Birds from heavensward for phoenix

Etc

[verbal rune]

Af can't be put in the armoire, right?

[faint flare]

Only the lv50 one

[verbal rune]

So I can put stuff from arr in, but not the rest or viceversa?

[open ember]

You can put UNAUGMENTED lv50 af gear in the armorie

But no other af gear can be put in there

The rest can be put in the glam dresser

[fading aurora]

Are any mgp gambling addicts at the gold saucer right now?

I need to know if the wings got a price reduction

From the mgp exchange

[faint flare]

Don't think I saw them in the list

[fading aurora]

Is there a list?

[verbal rune]

Ah, gotcha

[mental nebula]

How can I find out where specific ingredient shop is?

[open ember]

Which ingredients

[honest anvil]

usually google …

[astral sail]

are these still aether currents?

[mental nebula]

Lets say I want to find vegetables

[fervent basin]

those are quest ones yes

[mental nebula]

In Lisa Lomnisa

[open ember]

You can check the Culinarian guild shop

[fervent basin]

the blue versions

[astral sail]

i see

[mental nebula]

The ones Im looking for are not there

[open ember]

Other than that either gathering or marketboard

[astral sail]

so i need to get those quest to be able to make my mounts fly right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[astral sail]

thanks

[faint flare]

Last quest current is always story

[open ember]

Idk if you're on free trial so the only thing I can think of is gathering

Some items can only be gatherered and not sold in NPC shops

Actually most items can only be gathered

[mental nebula]

Nah Im not a trial

[open ember]

Then Marketboard is your best bet while world hopping for cheaper items

[fading aurora]

Do gates give 50% more mgp aswell?

[faint flare]

Yes

Basically everything does

[fading aurora]

Damn i cam get almost 100k mgp in like 15 gates

[faint flare]

Including fashion report and challenge logs

[fading aurora]

Wtf

Can*

[mental nebula]

Alrighty. Found a fishing vendor by myself so I assumed there may be veggie seller as well x)

[open ember]

I wish haha

what does it cost to deliver these? like from what i can see i can just spam deliver them?

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[boreal aurora]

how do i make this one display

[gritty oracle]

Yeah you can just spam it

[faint flare]

Costs nothing... You see the seals you get for turning them in

[faint flare]

Right click it or press the cog

[leaden ginkgo]

then why is there a seperate popup for "oh do you wanna do a high quality item"

like wut

[faint flare]

Because high quality items are good

[boreal aurora]

thx

[faint flare]

They're equal level to dungeon gear of same ilvl

[leaden ginkgo]

ig but like theres no difference if you're only delivering them

its not like you can get them for yourself

[proud willow]

Those are your own items that you're turning in

[faint flare]

You'll be surprised How many times people have turned in gear they're using

[proud willow]

so if you turn them in, you won't have them anymore. That would be bad if it's something you intended to hold onto

[gritty oracle]

Lmao for me I think I was set to "hide gear set items" by default

[novel zodiac]

is samurai hard or not?

this is last class question lol

[faint flare]

Low skill floor

High skill ceiling

[novel zodiac]

oh

well imma try as archer never played a ranged class in any game before so might as well

thanks for the help!

[boreal junco]

im curious about something. I bought a square enix code for endwalker does that work for Mac users?

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know when the Lunarcon is taking place timezone wise?

[boreal aurora]

is there a way to disable crafting sounds of other players?

[leaden ginkgo]

Also how do i get gear for my smn, i sold his gear last time i played, hes lvl74 kekw

[celest crest]

Hi folks, I have made a 53 paladin and respecced into DRK and samurai, I think after watching some high level content Zepla/asmon i've developed some tanxiety. I'm not sure if I can get to endgame and tank and was wondering how hard it actually is? I would like to beat the game and it's raid and push difficulties but wanted to see what comes with the tank role and high level content?

[proud willow]

I'd say most people consider tanking to be the easiest role in difficult content

[leaden ginkgo]

crystarium?

[spark monolith]

can i take my squadron into a leveling roulette

[celest crest]

What about Ultimate and the other difficulties?

[leaden ginkgo]

ah.

what quest for the immortal flames do i complete/do to get past Flame sergeant first class?

[celest crest]

I'm more concerned about repeatedly not getting it right, i'm quite confident in dungeons and would hope that transfers over. also pissing people off

[faint flare]

It's all memorisation

Find out what you need to Cooldown

A d Cooldown it

Talk with your cotank

[celest crest]

Oh no I know i'm nowhere near ready for that content I barely know the game, I'm just asking can an average joe tank learn and eventually tank end game content?

[faint flare]

Yes

How do people even learn in the first place

[celest crest]

I dont even know the difficulty orders 😛

[gritty oracle]

Leveling to 80 via only msq roulette and then immediately trying to MT Hades. Only wiped the group a couple times, worth it

[shadow geyser]

ayy thats good to hear yo enjoy and welcome back to eorzea

[boreal aurora]

the question tho is can u do all content

[celest crest]

LB?

[gritty oracle]

Limit Break

[winter coral]

Is it lvl 50 to get the relic weapon?

[celest crest]

What's a relic weapon?

[boreal storm]

BiS weapons for an expansion

It’s a grind

[faint flare]

And time sinks

[celest crest]

Worth getting?

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers relic is the best weapon

Atm

[gritty oracle]

It's only glam now though

The old relics

[faint flare]

Old relics are glamour onlu

[gritty oracle]

Chat didn't scroll

[agile laurel]

And probably BiS til like level 86

[haughty topaz]

how can i target my self if i want to self heal as PLD

[agile laurel]

Target the boss

[faint flare]

Or nothing

[haughty topaz]

isnt there a short cut ?

[faint flare]

Just target a non ally

[haughty topaz]

oh

ok

[agile laurel]

And like, if this is referring to group content, clemency is a dps loss and should be avoided unless your healer is dead or effectively dead

[haughty topaz]

Is the aether req removed for flying? I'm flying without doing anything

was a bit shocked

[knotty lily]

You could hold onto them if you want for crafters, but they are plentiful and cheap on the market board (if youre not on Trial).
Most of the time its fine to just quick sell, especially to the Domans.

[tribal basin]

im on trial the old areas

[knotty lily]

ARR Flying has no prerequisite, just MSQ

[tribal basin]

yes

[knotty lily]

The later areas though, still need to do the currents!

[tribal basin]

ahh I see its removed because its old I probably read some old news

I see thanks

[inland quarry]

is there any hat that has the same hood as the scion traveler helmet but without the weird face thing?

can you?!

lemme check 1 sec

[spiral inlet]

Does Gold Saucer log get a bonus as well?

weekly log*

[lyric rapids]

can someone tell me why A LOT of times the Japanese dub is different than the English dialogue?

[gritty oracle]

Koji Fox has fun with translations

[sour sonnet]

Do I have to finish the ARR relic weapon quests in order to start the other expansion's Relic weapon quests?

[alpine shadow]

japanese text probably takes more from their japanese voice acting

[gritty oracle]

No, hells no. If that was the case, nobody ever would do relics. Every relic is self contained

[alpine shadow]

and english text goes to english voice

[halcyon tulip]

Because The game is not translated but localized, there is a difference

[twilit arch]

because the game is localized

audio language is only going to ever match the appropriate text language

[sour sonnet]

Oh okey, thank you

[gritty oracle]

You can hand in a complete ARR relic to skip some minor fate farming on the HW one, and that's about it

[hoary veldt]

Why is it some of my messages are sent to people?

[sour sonnet]

Ah I see

[hoary veldt]

yet they message me fine

[alpine shadow]

?

[gritty oracle]

They might be set to /busy, or just zoning into an instance

[hoary veldt]

ahh ok idk why it does that

[daring epoch]

is there any way i can like, try the actual game without spending money without needing to spend multiple hours just like, walking between npcs and doing a single attack animation

[ocean shard]

Hi! Which server is good for starting out in EU? I'm in chaos omega and starting area feels a little deserted

[fading helm]

Yesss the senor sabotender minion is in the make it rain event

[green grail]

all EU servers are extremely close in population

[hoary veldt]

nah you gotta do all of that, but once you get to lvl 50 you unlock some pretty pog content

[green grail]

so the starting zones are also equally dead

[fading helm]

Is the minion going to be exclusive to make it rain?

[daring epoch]

that's dumb

[fading helm]

Or will it stay at the gold saucer from now on

[ocean shard]

Ahh alright thanks

[gritty oracle]

There's a trial mode, also the first like 10 levels are a tutorial for those who have never touched a video game before

[vast ferry]

is there a way to change the vutton to cycle through tagets on a controller

i can' find any such option in the keybinds menu

[daring epoch]

right i'm playing the trial mode, but when it makes you walk for three minutes between every quest and then the quest is just watch an NPC kill a single dude and then get a cutscene...

[low sun]

That's what 70% of the game is like so it's kinda accurate

[daring epoch]

but i mean, i want to know if i'll actually like the late-game gameplay and its ridiculous i have to invest dozens of hours to find out

[verbal geode]

wouldn't you have to do that no matter what

[daring epoch]

?

[verbal geode]

i can't really think of a game which lets you jump in at the 100+ hour mark for a trial

[daring epoch]

well generally games will have gameplay that is as engaging as endgame content which clearly isn't the case here

[reef quiver]

Is make it rain active now?

[verbal geode]

yes

[vast ferry]

the rebind options are pretty limited for controllers

[reef quiver]

So what does it entail exactly?

[verbal geode]

1.5x mgp in golden saucer

[green grail]

plus a sidequest for an emote

[reef quiver]

Ah OK gonna grab that emout now 👀

[feral nebula]

If i want to spam Palace of the Dead to level up, do i need to clear 10 floors all the time or do i just clear 1 floor and leave?

[green grail]

10 floors

[feral nebula]

k ty

[green grail]

one duty is 10 floors, if you leave before the boss you get a 30 min penalty (unless you went in alone/premade)

[novel zodiac]

what level can I unlock dancer and machinist?

[green grail]

dancer at 60, machinist you need to reach ishgard ways into level 50 main scenario quests

[daring epoch]

okay other question: if i bought the Realm Reborn skip is there fun dungeons or something I can play to level

[novel zodiac]

@green grail didnt understand really what u mean about machinist, but does it matter if I go lancer or archer when I open the account?

[low sun]

doesnt matter at all what job you level with, you eventually unlock all jobs

[green grail]

machinist (and astrologian and dark knight) are locked behind lots of main story progression, dancer isn't

and yeah

[low sun]

as long as it's a combat job that is

[novel zodiac]

which one is easier to lvl with

archer or lancer

[green grail]

neither

[novel zodiac]

nice

[low sun]

everything is equally easy to lvl up with (questing-wise)

tanks and healers get bonus of faster dungeon queues

[celest snow]

how do you do the pose as a drk where you put the sword on your shoulder?

[green grail]

be male, take out weapon, /cpose

[celest snow]

cpose as in change pose?

is it the idle pose i have to change?

[pulsar escarp]

which view do I pick for the qitari beast tribe. how much does it matter? cuz the game's telling me YO THIS MATTERS

[green grail]

yes, it should happen automatically too i think that's on by default

[worthy wing]

i have a problem where my job quest guy doesnt spawn for somereason even though i have done all the previous jobquest before it

[green grail]

if you afk for a few seconds with your weapon out your character does cpose on their own

[celest snow]

ah ok. thought i had to do a questline or something to unlock it

thank you!

[green grail]

pretty sure it tells you "this matters for story but does not affect any rewards or experience" so doesn't really matter, it's a lore thing

[pulsar escarp]

still

what's your opinion then

[gentle arrow]

is scholar a good healer someone in dungeon told me whitemage is easier and much better

[low sun]

all healers are fine, but WHM is arguably easiest to play i guess

[gentle arrow]

ok but I would still find groups if I was a scholar?

or would people prefer whitemage

[pulsar escarp]

no one prefers anything really

[low sun]

doesnt matter

[gentle arrow]

ok ty

[low sun]

just being healer is enough

[pulsar escarp]

normally groups are one of each job and the game tries to do that as well

but you might get duplicates and that's fine

[vast ferry]

things are pretty balanced as far as i know

[gentle arrow]

ok cool

[vast ferry]

i wish i could give filters custom names

Hey - I'm aim to get a DRK, currently leveling a gladiator @ lvl 34. Should I just continue to level my gladitor to unlock DRK or is it worth it going paladin now and then leveling as paladin instead until i can unlock the DRK?

[quartz trellis]

i created my account in the morning today and i never recieved my confirmation email, i tried to log in to the launcher but i keep getting an "ID error" saying its not found OR i get a "account has been suspended duo to some shady activity" message.. what? its a brand new account 😦 I dont recieve any mails from Square Enix on my mail about anything either.. i just wanna play and ive spend all day now just trying to get past the login screen.. im leaving my PC on for now, if you can help in anyway, feel free to DM me , id love to finally play this damn game xD

Are there any new things to buy during the Make it Rain event; or is it just quest rewards of the Vexxed emote + Bronze card (plus some of the attraction furnishing being cheaper)?

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.

Is it possible to rejoin the novice network channel after my flower expires?

[vagrant crescent]

I played WoW before but only til level 20. Couldn't pay for sub so I stopped after.

I did wanted to play FF14 long time ago too but trial had a time limit so I never played til now. Idk, just don't like the idea of playing then never being able to play ever again.

I looked up FF14 again recently than learned a year ago free version not only is it to level 60, but it lasts forever. So that's why I'm here now.

Yea. Although alot of WoW players moved on to FF14, I'm not one of those. I'm just a guy who gives alot of MMO a chance. I played alot of MMORPG, lol XD

[slate arrow]

only if you gain mentor status

[hardy scroll]

Time limit?

Old trials had a time limit?

Trials rn give u base game and an expansion

200+ hours easy

[polar flint]

Im starting my 2nd ARR relic and have a quick question

[sour sonnet]

Where do I get the heavensward relic weapon quest?

[polar flint]

Do I have to pick up the quest again to acquire atmas or can I just do the fates again to get them?

[inland quarry]

checked no you can't

[vagrant crescent]

From what I know yea. Or am I wrong? Some of the new videos I saw even said no longer has a time restriction, lol XD

[visual mist]

Can a trial that upgrades to the complete edition immediately transfer servers to a preferred server?

[hardy scroll]

Drk edgelord

[slate arrow]

You can't unlock DRK until you hit Heavensward in the MSQ

So you may as well stick to paladin

[merry wind]

Hi, are there any communities dedicated to doing outdated content lvl synced and no echo, so beginners can experience the old raids/trials as intended?

[slate arrow]

And no, the Ultimate Weapon doesn't count as the end of ARR

[novel zodiac]

is the game better played onm ctroller or mouse keyboard?

[slate arrow]

https://c.tenor.com/odyVsZbC-OYAAAAM/why-not-both-why-not.gif

[azure thistle]

Can someone experienced tell me if doing savage/ultimate raid content with an astrologian is possible without the whole -30 sec pre pull shenanigans? And if so, is it as detrimental to the raiding group?

[maiden palm]

is the gold saucer updates with games and more things from time to time?

[slate arrow]

It's possible but it doesn't feel as good because you're going to delay your group wide buff by 30 seconds which will be outside most of the burst windows for literally every job

[dusty terrace]

what is minilvl for eden's promise?

[azure thistle]

"It's possible" do you mean, it will be much much harder, or like, makes a tad bit of a difference?

I generally like the class, just not the whole aspect of the pre pull

[twilit arch]

485 for normal mode

[slate arrow]

You'll be shooting yourself in the foot, but nobody's saying you have to do prepull

[vast ferry]

what are ilevels?

[gusty island]

item level

[slate arrow]

Your gear score

[azure thistle]

Yes, but in general, wouldn't most static groups be against me doing that? Meaning they wouldn't want me in the group? 😄

[slate arrow]

But you'll want to prepull because you want your buff to line up with everyone's burst windows

[gusty island]

probably, depends on the people you play with

[slate arrow]

Because in this game DPS is king

[azure thistle]

Sadge

Gonna have to skip out on astro then

Unfortunately

[gusty island]

but if you want to get into serious endgame i suspect it'll be hard to find a group if youre not willing to put in the effort

[azure thistle]

It's not about effort, obviously can be done, it's just not fun to me

[spark monolith]

it says that i need to do a special quest to level up my squadron where can i find that

[gusty island]

weigh how much you value the lack of fun during the prepull vs the fun you get from raiding

[slate arrow]

It is bad game design! Unfortunately, current AST used to have Sleeve draw but that was changed so

[vagrant crescent]

From my experience more popular may give the developer more money, but that doesn't exactly mean the game itself is better.

Look at Fortnite for example. Most popular Battle Royale probably, yet has bad reviews, then Spellbreak that most battle royale players probably never heard of but has good reviews. Wizard101, Skyforge, Tera, Neverwinter, plus more. I tried alot.

Most of which I eventually stopped, but FF14 might become one of my main MMORPG from what I've seen. It's very fun, lol XD

That's why I give alot of MMORPG a chance, and from what I know FF14 does seem better than WoW. Atleast to me so I'm glad, lol XD

I also played Dungeon Fighter Online, Black Desert Online, Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, Old School Runescape, Star Wars the Old Republic, Trove, Elsword, Dragon Nest,

[gusty island]

fights in this game last long

[azure thistle]

There's a ton of other classes, so I guess I can pick something else and not dabble with those thoughts 😄

[slate arrow]

#beginner-lounge

Unless you have a question

[azure thistle]

I agree Industrial, feel like it's bad design from my point of view

[clever frigate]

so I have been able to keep up with main quests pretty well. but as time goes on am I going to have to branch out into more side content to be able to supplement exp to continue main storyline?

[azure thistle]

Blows my mind they would balance their game around something like that honestly

[dusty terrace]

alright, i'm 483, so still need some better gear before i unlock it...

[slate arrow]

Fortunately! Endwalker is almost here, so hopefully they'll fix it next expansion

[gusty island]

if you stick to one job theres no need to engage in side content for xp.
two should be relatively easy to pull off with some dungeon spam/roulette on the side

[slate arrow]

You're right, they didn't. But then sleeve draw was changed and they didn't add in any new skills

[maiden palm]

are there settings for draw distance?

[azure thistle]

Damn, really unfortunate. I have heard they're planning to rework astro for Endwalkers

Is that planned for launch?

[slate arrow]

yes

[azure thistle]

Awesome 😄

[slate arrow]

I mean the first week or two is always rebalances but they don't drop raids for like, a month

So optimal jobs on launch won't be massively ahead when raids drop

[fathom arrow]

Hi guys I am getting to lvl 80 soon, do you know how many weeks it take to get the end game weapon with books of eternity ?

[azure thistle]

That sounds great. Hopefully the re-work is going to be good and get rid of this 30 seconds pre-pull for him. Absolutely despise it 😄

[slate arrow]

Normally 8, but savage is going to be unlocked soon

[sullen lark]

Quick question, friend just got started, level 2 of Conjurer, can he just swap straight to another class such early on?

[azure thistle]

How about FF log parses? How much of a % are you missing out on if you don't do a prepull would you say? Genuinely curious to hear

[sullen lark]

and if so, what classes are available in Old Gridania?

[slate arrow]

No, you need to have the level 10 class quest before the armory system unlocks

[azure thistle]

Can you score 80+ without it?

[sullen lark]

Damn.. I see

[slate arrow]

no

Because of how rDPS is calculated

[crystal bluff]

Level 10 will take you maybe an hour

[bright drum]

do you have to pick up the gold piles at The Slice Is Right (Gold Saucer) manually? or do you just walk over them?

[slate arrow]

if your group wide buff is misaligned you're missing out on like, 30-40% of your own rDPS

[slate arrow]

Interact

[azure thistle]

Are you 100% sure about that, or you believe that the parse would be much lower? I reckon there's not a lot of tests that were done by people, and if there was, is there any links to see?

[bright drum]

how though? there are like 100 people standing on top of it

[slate arrow]

Numpad 0

[azure thistle]

As in, comparison between with and without pre-pull

[slate arrow]

Just look at the top and ~mid tier parses in fflogs

[green grail]

you can hold x to click through characters, should be in keybinds

[slate arrow]

You'll see the top AST parse it's literally perfectly aligned with group bursts

[bright drum]

can you change that in the keybind settings? what command is it

[azure thistle]

Yes, but that doesn't equate to what I'm asking in particular. I'd love to see a comparison by top AST doing it with and without the pre pull and how his parse would be

And if the eg. parse instead of being 90+ would be 60

Or if it is maybe a 5-10% difference

[polar flint]

When I go to do my 2nd ARR relic do I have to pick up the quest Up in Arms again in order to get the Atmas? Or can I just do the fates with the weapons equipped to get the atmas?

[leaden ginkgo]

how much hp should i have at a tank at lv50

[green grail]

whatever i130 gear puts you at

like 9k something

just go off ilvl, not hp

[leaden ginkgo]

130 gear?

[green grail]

you should have i120 - i130

[grim furnace]

do i have a certain of period of time to put down a house once my plot is bought? or can i leave it empty indefinitely?

[leaden ginkgo]

How is monk?

my average ilvl is 115 @green grail

I want melee dps

!me

[leaden ginkgo]

idk how i check per item

[dusty terrace]

get more ironworks gear for poetics

[low sun]

balance is in a good spot right now, play whatever melee you want, theres no total poop job

[leaden ginkgo]

oh the bot isnt updated yet

[leaden ginkgo]

yea but poetics are a pain to get :/

https://i.imgur.com/9wECZHR.png

also how to i enable the thing that shows me ilvl per armour piece

[dusty terrace]

you get 100 poetics for every thing you clear for the first time

[raven sage]

You have 45 days to build or it will consider it an inactive plot

[grim furnace]

thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

by first time do you mean first time or, first time on that job.

[slate arrow]

First time on that character

[leaden ginkgo]

character or job

[slate arrow]

character

[leaden ginkgo]

sad

so how do i find out which will still give me poetics

also do you get them if someone in your dungeon hasnt done it?

i remember something about that

[slate arrow]

yes

As long as there's one new person

[leaden ginkgo]

also is there a way to check which i havent done easily ?

[vast ferry]

iks there a way to changfe your recovery question without knowing it

[leaden ginkgo]

contact SE

[vast ferry]

i know my password but I don't know the question

[terse pendant]

is this the place for newbie questions or just questions in general?

[leaden ginkgo]

both

[dreamy fjord]

where is the cave for
Saro Roggo: Matoya's Cave

[terse pendant]

should I bother with leves as a sprout? Or just play the game

like am I missing out on anything important?

[leaden ginkgo]

^

imo leves only really helps if your lvling a 2nd job

[knotty lily]

Never for combat, but often they are okay for crafters. So if you arent crafting now, you can hold off

[leaden ginkgo]

just a nice boost in xp

[bright drum]

at the gold saucer, what does "tickets for number ___ (3 digit number) are now on sale" mean?

[lost sinew]

regarding the gold saucer event, it looks like 2-3 of the home mini games are new/exclusive to this event? also, what’s this i hear about the ffxv event returning, and rewards being purchaseable with mgp? what were the costs last time?

[terse pendant]

Ty for the explanation

[dreamy fjord]

Matoya's Cave location anyone?

[slate arrow]

Car was 200k mgp

[knotty lily]

If its "Jumbo cactuar draw number #506", that means its been 506 weeks since Gold Saucer came out, so 506 draws have been done already

[autumn hedge]

Are daily allowances for beast tribe quests for ALL tribes or just the one?

[slate arrow]

all

[knotty lily]

Just a reminder to pick up your Jumbo before its too late

[leaden ginkgo]

200k wut

[autumn hedge]

ok thanks

[bright drum]

ahh okay. thanks. why did I get the notification now though? or is it just a random advertisement every few hours

[slate arrow]

Mandeville Gold Saucer Point

[knotty lily]

Yep, random advertisement - they advertise Mini Cactpot in the chat as well. Again just to keep you on your toes

[green grail]

south west of dravanian hinterlands

[slate arrow]

It's a random advert every few hours. Y'know, like an actual casino

[tranquil wolf]

what are thoes little tiny icon simple for shortcut button?

[bright drum]

okay.. I thought i had to go there in the next 10 mins or something, similar to the events. thanks

[bright drum]

bottom left?

top left sorry

[tranquil wolf]

that tiny little icon

[slate arrow]

That's shift I believe

[bright drum]

I think it means shift + button

[leaden ginkgo]

Check your keybinds, fam.

[bright drum]

C means ctrl + button

[tranquil wolf]

okay thanks

i got control+123

but never shift 123

so that is new

[bright drum]

well that icon is shift

[tranquil wolf]

alright didnt know its shift since S would been icon

[devout yacht]

Hey guys,
I just bought the game last night and finally finished downloading this morning. The server my friends are on is Jenova, but it seems to be completely locked for character creation. Is this temporary, or can I wait till this evening to get in?

[faint flare]

Shift is usually denoted as a Up arrow on keyboards

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[vast ferry]

how long does it take for se to pick up

i know its only been two minutes but i called mere seconds after the line opened up

[red cosmos]

i tried creating a character yesterday and i gave up after failing several times. tried again today and it worked

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate arrow]

No idea! Again, unprecedented demand.

It could be 5 minutes, it could be an hour.

Just gotta be patient

[floral crystal]

does anyone know how much the car 4 seater is going to cost in sept in the golden saucer? i've heard 200k mgp but can anyone confirm with source if possible?

[faint flare]

It was 200k before

[slate arrow]

We don't know how much it will be this time

[faint flare]

No reason it should change

[floral crystal]

ah.. so no actual confirm but it is the best guess?

[slate arrow]

eyup

[abstract hinge]

i'm new.. is there a way to search for open friend companies within the game to join?

[floral crystal]

okie ty. i guess ill keep farming mgp just in case it cost more

@slate arrow Well, I regret asking anything in Balance 😂 people got very upset about my question, and are arguing that it was intentionally designed by devs to have the 30 second pre-pull

[slate arrow]

Well, they're fucking stupid

[abstract hinge]

so you have to send a message to the person? you can't just 'apply'

?

[faint flare]

Yes

[abstract hinge]

got it. thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

is ff getting a huge amount of players these weeks ?
i've been getting high numbers q it didn't happend before

[slate arrow]

yes

[faint flare]

Wow exodus

Even on steam, FFXIV is in the top 10 from steam playerbase alone

This is worldwide

[lavish sierra]

why is there a lvl 60 HW MSQ telling me to do the lvl 50 trial The Navel (hard)

[faint flare]

Story reasons

Story

[leaden ginkgo]

sweet our gme is getting expanded :' D

[faint flare]

Do pay attention

To titans dialogue

It's different this time

[azure thistle]

Yeah don't know what to tell you 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

what damaging ability does white mage have this man is nuking shit

[abstract hinge]

[chrome island]

Well, which DC are you actually on?

[slate arrow]

anyways that's not relevant

[chrome island]

And what server?

[abstract hinge]

oh

i got in after about 5 minutes this is why it's best to call as soon as it opens

[azure thistle]

Sure, I just asked to see how much of a practical difference it would be for the parse, but unfortunately there's no data for it, and people just went mental bout it

[chrome island]

You should probably change your roles so you’re only showing the DC you’re actually on

[slate arrow]

Should've just pinged a balance mentor probably

[faint flare]

It's the difference between getting your raid buffs out on time

Vs not

[azure thistle]

Honestly, didn't expect to be barraged by toxic tryhards

[faint flare]

Like a fucking 30s late divination outside of raid buffs ain't gonna Brin much dps

Yes

[slate arrow]

Yes

[knotty lily]

Yes, level 2 and 1 are just weaker. Only Limit Break 3 rezzes for healers

[vast ferry]

what exactly is the balance discord people have been mentioning

[somber goblet]

How do I make all 4 sections of my inventory on my screen at the same time?

[slate arrow]

It's a role in the balance discord

[chrome island]

Pretty sure you can’t

[somber goblet]

No ive seen it before, Just forgot how to do it

[vast ferry]

sorry meant discord

[tranquil wolf]

you can

[faint flare]

[somber goblet]

Alright tyt.

[vast ferry]

so useless for noobs like me who are only level 39

[abstract hinge]

so.. on community finder.. how does it work again?

[faint flare]

For now

[low sun]

Escape - Character Config -> Item Settings -> Inventory Interface [x] Open All

[faint flare]

Weskalber has levelling rotations on YouTube

[leaden ginkgo]

Y’all think ffxiv will be available on steam for Malaysia?

Oh alright tysm, ty @tranquil wolf ty too ❤️

[slate arrow]

Yes

[tranquil wolf]

[leaden ginkgo]

I hope so. Cuz they made it available for Singapore

[low sun]

Damn y'all are treating the inventory the opposite way of me, I just yeet everything out lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks!

[hasty swift]

Hey guys, i just did the gold saucer event quest but my mini map details are still hidden even though i've completed all the steps...

[faint flare]

The game told you there won't be any help to find clues

[hasty swift]

I already found all the clues

I got the emote

[faint flare]

That's it then

You're done

[hasty swift]

But everything is still hidden

[faint flare]

You've done the line

[hasty swift]

I can't see any aetherites on the map

Done the line?

[faint flare]

That's a problem that completely unrelated to the event or quest

[leaden ginkgo]

last i played was 2-3 years ago, had a 63 BLM.... with several jobs in mid 30's... whats best way to go about getting back in to the game to learn mechanics? new character?

[hasty swift]

Alright, i'll try contacting GM's then

[faint flare]

Relog first

[low sun]

WeskAlber on youtube has skill guides for all classes and levels, maybe thats an option, then just practice those rotations on dummies for a bit

[radiant canyon]
