6 hrs
9 hour
nvm lol
9hours
ty
im crying
Go to sleep, go outside, touch grass
What time did maintenance start?
20 mins ago
20 mins ago
Dang
does the maintenance apply to every server correct?
Patch maintenance is world wide
Wait why does Diamond EX drop 2 totems?
Will that change when the unlock comes or what?
Are there any other EX fights that does this?
Which is?
It's fucking looooooong
Diamond doesn't and is the least deceiving
Ah
Most of us believe its because they
Hades is long due to cutscenes
Are long and theres no checkpoint
Diamond isn't even longer
Hade has like 5 phases and unskippable cutscenes
Like, Ruby has a "Checkpoint", right
Anyone have the planned releases on 5.58?
how long is maintenance for?
!maint
Scroll up
9 hours

What will be released in maintenance? That's long for a normal maintenance:)
Maintenance is longer due to extra infrastructure maintenance
Probably due to massive influx of new players
ah
We already had tomes doubled
900 weekly is all you get
I am surprised but its fair
how long is the matience?
Ohh so now we can spam savage raids !
doesnt seem too bad for the tomes
We can already do that
It's like we answered it
Since last patch
Paradiagms Breach is alliance Raid tho, not savage
Have you considered trying the award winning MMO for Playstation 2, Final Fantasy XI? It has a Free Trial that includes none of the critically acclaimed expansions for it, like Rise of the Zilart -
Play ff4 in preparation for endwalker
So ffxi is pc only now afaik
I thought DC travel was coming to 5.58 though...? didn't they accidentally announce it on steam
So anyone use a wireless keyboard on ps5? Need to find one for typing
Steam was wrong and it was quickly corrected
And it was ONLY preliminary notes as well
Which are unfinished notes
Steam isn't the one who pushes those announcements
Barely hold weight
It was literally only steam preliminary notes
Who had it
No one else
And it was quickly corrected
How long will the game be down for?
8.5hrs
9 hours total
did it just go down?
About when will we get the patch notes, or the already out?
guys can you have multiple characters on one server?
Later during maintenance
Thanks
With a standard sub yes
Entry only allows 1 per world
What dance are they using in the "Don't dance alone, Eorzea" video? Also I've seen a screenshot with a Ninja Lalafell holding herself with 1 finger upside down... is that an emote I can obtain?
ah I see okay
Which one. I think thereās one of those videos for each expansion.
Shadowbringers one
Goodbye Do maybe?
damn 9 hours finna be hell
hello, if i want to get every in-game track for FFXIV, which albums should i get? is this list enough:

- BEFORE THE FALL: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack
- HEAVENSWARD: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack
- THE FAR EDGE OF FATE: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack
- STORMBLOOD: FINAL FANTASY XIV Original Soundtrack

Is it possible to see the clear rate of savages etc
Or number of players that have done it
Oh heās doing a bunch of dances in that video.
Only those that have logged it Via things like fflogs
Potentially yes, but it won't be a significant amount of time different.
so it gives an idea but is not the full number
https://youtu.be/S9NVOcJAkx0 go to the store bought time stamp. Most of the ones heās doing are from there.

@clear shoal Thanks I'll look at it, I thought it was only one dance
When does the preferred servers change?
Also what does a grey Parse imply. I just completed e9s 4 times today. Got a 7 and 8. I'm not ashamed of it if that's bad
If you also want 1.0 tracks, buy the Before Meteor album
Thereās also the shadowbringers album
i've never played legacy
No idea. Don't use it myself. Not at the stage where I'm doing content where i feel it would be valuable.
Still working through MSQ
ah yes i havent completely finished stormblood so i dont want to buy shadowbringer ost yet
š
Is this a big update or something?
Wanna know because of the steam deck stuff, can you use proton in the non-steam version of xiv?
Infrastructure changes to servers
are there many standout tracks from legacy?
I remember hearing there is a way around it but not sure
I havenāt given it a full listen so I canāt tell you for sure, but some tracks from 1.0 do get brought back every now and then
They gonna reward any game time you think?
okay thanks
ahh i'm sad they chose this timing for maintenace. it's public holiday in my country and now is 10 am...
Thinking about playing red mage, is it hard to get into ?
when is maintenance in this game to till?
Not really? You basically get the entire kit at level 50
Everything past that is extra/situational tools or stuff that extends the melee combo
So if you can get the handle of it at level 50 you basically learned the job

Is the game down?
Scheduled maintenance
ah ok im new. thank you. crazy its during the evening
Usually it's later, but this one is for 5.58 and "infrastructure maintenance"
are healers the only job that can revive people
how long until they are back up?
8 hours
6am pdt
is that why im getting an error opening the launcher?
Note that I have word the new patch is bringing back the 30 minute AFK logout, assumingly to assist with the population problem
word from wat
Can anyone clarify exactly what this is saying has changed?
Patch notes are up
You could not purchase Weapon Upgrade Items for Cryptlurker weapons before (gear yes, weapon no) - the weapon upgrade only came from Savage.
Now instead you can Augment your Cryptlurker weapons by trading all 3 Nier coins for a weapon upgrade
any erp server in JP datacenter?
Probably better to ask the JP datacenter channel
Ty
Okay, so since the lodestone is basically offline, anything of note besides feast season whatever, and echo in Eden 9-12 Savage?
Echo already existed since before
I see they still didn't remove the weekly on Nier coins QQ
in pvp
They did
@knotty lily thanks
"In an effort to ease server congestion, players who are inactive for more than 30 minutes will be logged out automatically."
THANK YOU!
Ah I missed that. Ty
do we know why this maint is so long?
better yet why we get an error on opening cilent
Well this explains why i canāt log in on ps4 lol. Just got the kiddo to bed too!! Bummer hahaha
what is the name of this axe?
trying to load up the launcher, and I get this message: a system error has occurred 504. HTTPS System Error
Is it an overnight fix?
Omg I love that
Byakko's Enspirited Greataxe, its crafted - level 70, can buy on the Marketboard. Glamour only
Expect 1 mil or more? Lets see
That it does
Hahahaha. The stutter
Well, maybe 500k-ish on Aether, so depends on what Primal is lie
Thanks
real sad that weapon is so ugly on drk
Any ideas on when it's gonna be back up?
Note that the ink effect is really cool and also very active:
https://youtu.be/ZgOV-d3s_Yo?t=372
Impressive ! It seems that the FFXIV Designers are really on fire this time.
All of these can be crafted or bought from the Market Board, but I can only recommend to wait one or the other day to get them when the prizes have gone back to normal
See you guys on Twitch for some Power Testing tomorrow:
https://www.twitch.tv/desperius_ffxiv
And ...
9 hours from now, ish
@knotty lily why is the drk weapon so uglyyyyy
explain to me
whats the error 504 mean?
Ingame server AND Launcher server (we expect) both down for maintnance for the next 9 hours
i see
Is there someone that can adjust hair, tattoos and facial hair? Or only a new character can be changed
from #translations-and-liveletters "The english Lodestone post doesn't mention this, but the japanese Lodestone post says the maintenance is for implementation of patch 5.58 & infrastructure maintenance (whatever that means for us players)."
Yes, the Aesthetician - unlocked in Limsa at level 15. Only costs 2000gil, no fantasia needed. Cant change race, height, gender, tail - blah blah
The Crystal Bell in the Inns
2000 per change or 2000 for unlimited
per total change
2000 per change, still not much tho
Per use of the crystal bell
Hey there.
Sorry in advance if the question seems stupid. But my partner is considering getting FF14 and I wanted to ask some questions on his behalf.
We both live in Japan, and his account (since making a few purchases here) on steam is Japanese (used to be US). We're only going to stay here for one more year. He has yet to buy the game for Steam, and weighing his options whether Steam or Windows will be better.
From what heās told me, he will want to play with friends in the US as well as friends residing in Japan.
Is the game region locked to the location in which you purchased the game?
Will there be any issues if we move to the U.K. or US with him accessing the title?
Will he be able to purchase DLC without any issues after we move back to U.K. or US?
Thatās all the questions Iāve got for now. I wasn't able to find answers to these questions, so I thought to ask you lovely people.
The actual game itself is not region locked, only your account and paying process will be.
If you guys are planning on returning back to the US and have no rush to buy anything from the mogstation, I'd suggest going with whichever region you feel like it'd be easier for you to make payments on. Generally if you are just gonna use a credit card then any region is fine. Also your client's language (such as the title screen), will be considered whatever region's client you bought the game from.
But for example, there are some payment options such as paying at the conbini or WebMoney that are only available in the JP region.
guys i read patch notes and they say they removed the restrictions on coins, does that mean i can 530 all my crpyt gear in one day?
if i get the coins
you can augment yo crypt shit
if that is true then this update is worth it
even if it stopped my gambling addiction
if it was true gamble, we would use gil
crypt weapons are outdated
Yes Nier raids as a whole have no lockout anymore
Except for the materia tokens from paradigm
grind for that sweet relic
tomorrow will be a massive grind on nier raids
somebody can remind me what hour does the maintenance end from now?
the ques will be instant
6am EST
For scheduled end
do a !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
@delicate elbow Also, note that you will need to buy the additional expansions from your region and platform of choice. For example you will buy buying the Endwalker expansion from the US store if your account is US, and it will be need to be from the Steam store if your client is from Steam.
Also the worlds in-game are split into regions: NA, EU, JP, and soon Oceana.
If he wants to play with friends in JP and NA, he'll have to make a character in a JP world/datacenter and one in NA/EU.
ooof
Ok
I heard there's gonna be a cross server hopping feature available in a few months
is that true?
That is sadly still limited to in-region.
yikes
Itās not known for sure if Oceania will be a different region in terms of game licenses
For example there are 2 seperate data centers for JP
Osaka and Tokyo?
JP has 3 datacenters
Theyāre all in Tokyo
ah ok
usually you can't hop between them but with the data-center travel you'll be able to
but not from JP to NA
Kinda sucks that rn there's not really consideration for people who move countries ;;
I feel that, my account is US and I've been living in Japan for 3.5 years now
We've been here since pre-corona (3.5 years) and we're choosing where to move to
l o l so same deal
lmao
my partner made some payments tho on steam with japanese card
so it converted to JP
zzz
Mine is still UK, but his changed from US to JP
Ahh ok
do you use Flamethrower in single-target for MCN? Saw an Ultimate clip with MCN used it.
So I guess he will likely have to play with windows client if he wants to choose a server other than JP
Only in super specific scenarios
it'll maybe be less annoying i think
Hey guys, maybe an odd question, but is there any way to add custom sounds to the game? For my hearing only, of course, only client side. But things like custom sounds for when I use specific spells or stuff like that
Usually to get the first hit when a boss comes out of intermission
but if he's trying to get the new steam deck thing then maybe??
Thanks
He hasn't mentioned anything about the steam deck but I can ask about it
I'll let him know
it's the new system coming out that'll allow you to play steam games on a portable system
He's been bored of playing PSO2 NGS (already up to date on everything and the updates are slow)
buuuut no one knows how an MMO will handle on it but apparently p good
yep
is your partner JP>
Na, he's from the US. We're both English teachers with JET
new to FFXIV and notice its in maintenence mode right now, about how long that last?
I'd recommend either just making a char in an NA server or on Elemental -> Tonberry/Kujata
Unless if he can read/write japanese fluently, the JP data centers are generally pretty full-on JP players
do a !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Mkay! I'll be sure to pass the info on to him. He can't do either fluently, so it'll be better to go NA in this case
ye
yeah me too
Maybe once cross server becomes a thing, I'll set mine up too
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to answer
is maint weekly thing and this long normal?
Thanks Cyril! I appreciate the support! Don't have any questions yet but if I do I'll pick your brain a lil
no to both
for sure
anyone know if anything will be added to the online store?
Unknown
Gotcha
does patch note not cover that info?
Nope
Mogstation stuff gets their own lodestone post
Whenever new stuff gets added or go on sale
can the grand company squadrons go into deep dungeons with you?
can someone play dancer on free trial since it opens at 60?
yes to canadian
theres maintenance atm
and no dnc on trial
Doesnāt it say on the website that store maint is on the 21st?
another 7hrs I think
DNC needs ShB specifically
what do i do with my addiction now though?
go outside
what is a tank buster?
a hit meant to bust tanks
What is this outside you are speaking of
they eat it with CD
Every tank has 1
i see
i own all the expansions just dont have active sub or any class over 69
60, even
in canada itās probably a donut shop
Need girl to marry š ffxiv

Is there a way to search Triple Triad cards in your deck? The Make it rain event sells a Roland card, and the only way I could figure out if I already had it was' to go through my deck one by one.
go to card list
how much you make? I can become a girl if you rich enough.
in this economy you need to take any chances you get
roland is number 168
where is the search feature?
@stiff mango nvm
Where is the search feature in the card list?
wait... is there a marriage feature in the game?
does the new AFK kick kick you if you're actively fishing/if you're in the fishing menu?
yes there is a marriage/civil union feature
So I guess the answer to my question is no, there isn't a text search feature
Iām serious š
Canuck it varies from 'this is for legal benefits lets sign a document' to a choir of moogles and floating in the air while kissing
do you split the house if you divorce in game too? who keeps the mounts?
nothing happens
your benefit is being able to teleport to each other on a 30min cooldown
well i mean ive seen some horrific divorces before, and the divorce lawyers are parasitic as hell
yeah nothing like that
you lose whatever you spent on the wedding and you lose your teleport to the person
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Iām interested in rewatching all of the story beginning to end. Does anyone know roughly how many hours it would take? Also, is there a good resource to watch? I heard there is one in game, but prefer one online so I can watch during walks/work breaks.
#archived-lore-spoilers ās pin might have some
In an effort to ease server congestion, players who are inactive for more than 30 minutes will be logged out automatically. No more AFK Dancing!
Does anyone know how to make ichigo on ffxiv character creation if so send me the things you chose please
That... is a very non-specific question. Which Ichigo, exactly, would you be trying to make? Do you know how many characters named "Ichigo" there are?
Bankai 2
So Bleach Ichigo.
Yes
Midlander Hyur for race, definitely.
how long for maintenance?
thank u
@open coral ok
doesn't end in 3 hours, way longer
unless they updated, it was scheduled for 3AM PST end
do a !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
@surreal sedge Give me a little bit to play around and I'll see what I can come up with.
@open coral thank you I appreciate it
Is the game down?
Rip
what in your guys opinion is the best dungeon in the entire game all expansions included?
Twinning for music
Am i able to transfer my character from 1 dc to another
Yes
heroes gauntlet is pretty cool thematically but yeah twinnning for musi
In terms of looks I love Fractal Hard mode
got through heavensward 3.0 and the library dungeon was pretty cool
vault as well
you'll get the library dungeon a ton if you do roulette
you know what, tamtara hard is neat the first time you do it just cuz how out of left field it is compared to tamtara normal
Any word on when the next sale might be?
Maintenance ends?
I got disconnected for maintenance during a dungeon earlier, will I still get penalized?
Also question, what should I expect as far as gameplay loop goes? I'm coming from WoW and used to that arpg style progression grind, and I know FFXIV doesn't do that. What does the endgame look like, or is the focus just not on the endgame?
9 am est
Might aswell sleep now then. Thanks
sleep well
xiv is much more story driven so a good chunk of gameplay will be following the story, which admittedl for the most part is cutscenes, fetch quests, and some combat with the ocassional dungeon/boss fight in between while raids are mostly optional stuff you unlock at the end of an expansion
but there is an endgame and people that do it
I can't really get an exact version since the Benchmark character creator limits hairstyles and some other features, but I got a pretty good approximation with the following:
Height: 100
Muscle Tone: 100
Skin Color: column 3, row 7
Hairstyle: (none match in the Benchmark character creator)
Hair color (main): column 5, row 8
Hair color (highlights): column 4, row 10
Face: 6
Jaw: 3
Eye Shape: 5
Iris Size: small
Eye color: column 6, row 9
Odd eye color: column 3, row 8
Eyebrows: 1
Nose: 6
Mouth: 3
Lip Color: none
Voice: 3
i guess one way to put it is that xiv very much focuses on the journey vs destination but the destination exists
tho if you wanna do difficult content from old expansions youre gonna have to find people to do it with
as youre less likely to find people queueing for it
You can churn for gear and clear times if you want; but the community for it is pretty lackluster.
@open coral am I able to create character even though I can't play ffxiv due to Maintaince
No. You'll have to wait until the servers are back up in the morning.
I used the PC Benchmark to do a limited character creation, which is why I couldn't get a hairstyle to match the character.

So is this gonna be like a Feast mount or something?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Cruise_Chaser_(Mount)
so nier 3 cap is removed right?
hello are we able to know what are they working at the moment with the maintenance? or just after t he maint
the patch notes are released right?
Yes, the patch notes are up.
I cant work out timezone can someone tell me in how many hour is the server expected to come back up
!maint in #kupo-bot-spam will answer that
basically 6hrs from now
I just woke up :9
5.58
I dont see it on the page
thanks
Mostly a bunch of small, end of expansion updates.
Uncapping loot, increasing the Echo in the final Savage tier, that sort of thing.
i'm confused
but the nier 3 cap removal is so good
No
def stoked for nier 3
nvm you're right
i just had ptsd thinking of doing those ruby sea fates
The memories they upped the drop rate on are the ones for the one-time step
im currently still doing the free trial content but want to buy the game after i finish it, is it worth buying shadowbringer now or should i wait for endwalker
endwalker is like 3 months from now so if like waiting go ahead š
wait its 4 month oof
is that a thing ? i only know server visit
i wanna move different servers, should i buy a server transfer or make a new character + buy the story skip?
cause i also wanna fantasia and change name 
think its cheaper to server transfer and fantasia than do all that..
What's the best way to go for a new level 80 DoL for yellow scrips?
could consider doing the custom deliveries..
hmm i mean ill be able to fantasia and change name with new character and buy the story skip for 30$ cad
oh look, they'll have reset after the maintenance
I meant DoL š
I just finish free trial contents want to buy the game. Should I buy it on steam or non-steam?
i think thats just from preference but if u buy on steam you can only buy the next expansion on steam same with windows ver
isnt the story skip literally 30 bucks cad, not to mention you'll have to buy class boosters too...
and even then you're now only up to lvl70
What would you suggest for DoL yellow scrips for a fresh 80?
I've been 80 too long, and don't have good advice anymore
They don't have nodes or anything unlocked
i think i also did collectables. goes by faster if u have both bot and min lvl80
guys i bought the standard edition years ago outside of steam, played for about a month only. Now i downloaded the game on steam to play the free trial can i log in and play the free trial using that account? or do i have to create a new account? (i am trying to avoid creating a new email for the new account)
ahh true i forgot that it doesntboost u up damn tyy tho o/
well, afaik, these nodes dont require anything special to be unlocked
https://i.imgur.com/l327wYX.png
bring alot of cordials
does the "One Hero's Journey" boost only boost your level and complete the job quests up to 70? or does it also do the ARR/HW/SB quests too?
no time limit
i had an old non-steam acc with SB,
but i plan to play from start
does that mean, i can make all classes till level 60?
Log into your old account, change the email associated with the account (some other email you can access once then never again), then delete your account. Make a new account with the same email and a different username
yeah your only limits i think are some chat limits, cant make a FC(guild) and cant use the market (auction house)
and can only hold so much gil

If you're doing potd let's say at level 30 and you reach a level higher than that, would it still give you the skills for the later levels even though you technically haven't learned them yet?
how much longer is maintenance?
6 or so hours.
ahh man okay thanks
Actually, closer to 5 I think.
Hey i am a wow refugee and would like to try raid leading in FFXIV how would be the best way to gather a group who wants to prog
make a static, post it on the balance's lfg
Is the datacenter travel is in this patch?
What exactly is a static ive seen a few people/vids mention these
static is basically a raiding group, rather than having guilds that run raid groups, you get a group of 8 ppl and do content
can be from any server on your data centre
usually they dont have a name, you just go 'hey want run edens promise, looking for more' or 'want to clear ucob' or whatever else
tho, compared to wow raid leading is less of a thing
you just do callouts for mechanics that generally everyone has to know to clear anyways, and they have pretty obvious tells
Okay thank you
Is there a list anywhere of what content to progress through from the start to newest expansion?
y maintenance during prime time š¦
It's Suzaku's, I have it on my DRG
The crafted one right
Ye
Yup
servers still down?
Always
How long does it take to finish shadowbringers casually (3-4 hours a day)?
3-4 hours a day is casual? š®
is there really 5 more hours of maintenance to go?
More like 4.5
1:26 am right now , its open at 6 am.
Just wait until the 24+ hour maintenance for EW release.

And the long que times, and the lag. It'll be a zoo. Regardless, it's just one of those things you have to get used to when playing an MMO
sorry i missed this
current raids are edens promise, the 4 bosses there
and the 3 ultimates, ucob uwu and tea
that's the only content people form statics for rn
Didn't they say they were going to add DC travel in 5.58?
a steam leak from 3 months ago said it
I didn't see it in the patch notes
shows not to trust leaks :D
So I have a question.
Currently level 33 Summoner and just got the full game yesterday. Have yet to actually join a Free Guild, but I've had a few offers in game which I've declined because I didn't know them.
Would it be smart to try and find folks on Discord for more personal connections in Free Guilds? or should I really just join the first one that invites me?
how many hours for eu maintenance to finish
Random invites are a 50/50 crap shoot really. There's the community finder (it's down right now) which can be slim pickings at times. There's also recruitment channels here. Other than just checking FC tags on people, I'm out of ideas
Right, fair enough! Thank you for letting me know!
yep
Yes
Not that I've noticed, only on patch days really
k cool, my first week playing so just curious
Blu raids :>
was waiting for that exact comment, thank you not my kousuke
not my kousuke
best advices you guys could give to a new player?
do the msq, avoid side quests. if you need more xp at some point, do dungeons. seriously dont do em
also buy gear with poetics from rowenas representative near the main aetheryte in gridania, uldah and limsa. you'll start getting poetics at 50
which is closer than it feels
would anyone know a funny laugh from a female race, it sounds like "ahHAA"
i do dungeons i like them and i primary do msq and blue quest so far.
cool
it's like a cackle
other than that... learn to play your class the best you can, dont be scared of picking up new ones all the time
honestly just try to play the best you can is all i can say
Honestly, go at your own pace and discover things organically. You'll have the most fun that way. Don't be afraid to ask for help either
im focusing on 1 because i dont have good gear for any other classes and i try to learn 1 lol
im about to turn dragoon , i was doing the quest before patch
sweet
focus on that, but you'll learn organically
there's a guide which has a bunch of good advice

So, my wife hasn't played for about a year and she can log-in for free while my sub ended recently and I can't play. Is there some kind of come back free login if you haven't logged in for a set amount of time?
yes
30 days since the last time you subbed
What exactly do you need help with?
!faq product
so i want to buy all of the dlcs with ffxiv included
Complete Edition.
is the complete edition on steam?
yep
i cant seem to find it
It's on the store page, below the starter edition
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure an explore with friends from around the world.This complete edition is perfect for new comers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers expansion packs!
also another question how would subscription payments work on steam
You can use the steam wallet, or just set up a subscription on the mogstation
what server you play on from NZ?
I play on NA servers with ping of about 150-160ms
I get similar ping times to JP servers though
and that shouldn't affect anything but double weave right
Yeah basically.
I had a friend from east coast US play on JP
and he said he was totally fine too
@shell gustBe aware that if you purchase the game on Steam, all future expansion purchases must also be from Steam.
Shortly after Endwalker release they are launching an Oceanic datacentre.
Maintenance should be done soon right ?
yes
ok
the complete edition is only up to ShB
thank you guys alot š
Endwalker isn't out yet.
i know just a prepurchase dlc
maint ends in how many hours from now?
3 and 40 mins
ok thanks
if you get the free trial and endwalker you'll have to wait for endwalker to release to play stormblood and shadowbringers
What is the Maintinence command?
Feel a bit dumb for not knowing this but ah...
Playing as a Summoner. For dealing max damage to a boss, do I deal more damage by attacking directly behind it?
And if so, is it only directly behind it or is there an area that is the "More damage" zone?
does any caster have a positional
The only reason to attack a boss from a specific direction is if the abilities specify.
Ah! Gotcha! So if I cast like... Ruin for example, it'll deal normal damage whether in front or behind.
I've never seen a mage type class ever have them tbh
That being said.
If I have a class like Bard. Does that deal more damage from behind?
yes
jobs don't inherently deal more damage from behind
that's not a mechanic in this game.
Melee dps have certain skills that specify either a rear positional bonus or a flank (side) positional bonus
Back when accuracy was a thing there was a reason to attack from the rear, but that was forever ago.
Gotcha! That makes sense!
if there is no positional bonus specified on the skill tooltip then it doesn't matter where you attack
Also, something else.
So when it comes to the main story quest, my Summoner is a bit overleveled for it. Is there any reason why I can't do something like... get the Conjurer Class and then finish a quest with the Conjurer for the exp?
you'd be reset to level 1
You can do that, a lot of people do
but otherwise nothing stopping you
you could switch freely between the two
I believe most MSQ's won't let you complete them if you're not the required level, but if you're overleved, it can be a good idea to level a second Job to take advantage of the EXP.
i thought that the only caster that has to worry about positionals was red mage and that's only because if you get cleaved by a boss during your melee phase you're dead
If you're talking about taking the class as a summoner, then turning it in as a conjurer for the exp, that won't work. You have to complete quests on the class you picked them up on
that's not what people are talking about when they say positional
what you mentioned is just dodging.
well, if you're ranged physical, you don't really worry too much
A positional is basically you do more damage in a certain position on the boss. Say the flank or the back does X amount more potency at that spot
you do
cause you're always able to move freely
what I mean is dodging as ranged physical is super easy
As a rule you shouldn't be staying ten miles from the boss just because you're ranged.
Stay with the party, stay in heal range
You should be close enough for your auto attack to hit as well
How long is the maintenance
thats super good advice, i like trying to stick with the healer during fights
Thanks thats super helpful
No problem hon
can also use the !maint command in #kupo-bot-spam
Kupo getting a beatdown with the maint command 
hello. has there ever been a case where maintenance ends before schedule?
If it happens it happens

btw how do i create shortcut/macro for chat? like i want to say the auto translate greetings at the beginning and also completion of each duty
instead of pressing tab 2 3 etc
i tried to google but couldnt find
System > User Macros
maintenance 
simple ones is fine. just want to say [it's my first time] or [nice to meet you] or [good game]
Maintenance very often ends 10--30 minutes earlier than scheduled
ah yes i mean what is the command?
Just open user macros and write that in one of the macro slots
then you can keybind the macro
auto translate?
yes you can write auto translate things in a macro too
not manual type, but i want the auto translate version where we usually have to press tab
ok
i'll try when server is up
thanks
oh yeah, what is the button to go next page of the auto translate thing?
tried to press 0 but didnt work
tab 2 = greetings, but there are 40+ greetings there
how to go to 2nd page without tabbing multiple times
aawesome
arrow keys
ooh ok let me try that later. thanks again
what's the free login campaign btw? after your sub is up you can play 14 days for free?
It's only for players who have not subbed in over 30 days
question about the TPB raid, so, is the weekly reward removed? so u can basically get repeated rewards like PB and CC raids?
I see some people use macros that are placed next to player list ? what could those be for?
is there any tier list for raid boss difficulty?
i cleared garuda and nidhogg's rage with duty finder, but couldnt clear titan and ramuh
ultima bane also cleared
i understand coils of bahamut are super tough
titan and ramuh require lots of teamwork
Do I need to use Dye before or after I put an item in the glamour dresser in order to use the item as glamour?
Titan is especially rough on people with high latency too
you can do either, but if you place a Dye after putting it in a glam plate the dye is will stay until it is replaced
i kinda want to experience the synced version
the final fight vs bahamut seems to be very cool if played synced
alright thanks
So for the 30min afk thing, does it apply when you are in a DF as well?
yes
My PC build consists of a M.2 SSD, 3080ti, Ryzen 9 12-cores, 32 GB of RAM and the game keeps crashing randomly sometimes even the launcher would crash.
no over heating nothing
it even caused my PC to shut down once
anyone got any ideas?
maybe faulty ram
Otherwise no idea
maybe because other games don't require the same memory regions FFXIV does
also the PC is new
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
hmmm
Faulty ram is faulty ram
New or old
You can check your ram with some built in windows utilities
when are the servers back up?
#kupo-bot-spam
ok thanks
3 hours from now
this'll be a long 3 hours
did they remove all preferred world buffs from NA and EU? o.O
it looks like it from the lodestone post
Not that surprised with the sudden surge of players, tbh
Iām more surprised none went Congested
Most of them should be at this point
is there a website that shows me the rewards of each content ?
for example Garuda (Extreme) Trial
gamerescape is probably more up to date
it says if they changed realms to congested then you would not be able to make characters because every realm is congested
what about drop rate ?
so i have the game with shadowbringers with a few max leveled toons but im currently playing on mac. Can i just add a subscription and play on those toons or do i have to buy the game for mac also?
no site has that, it can't be confirmed
oh
you need to buy the game again for mac, but then the sub is shared between platforms
ok
ff16 is real thing? just saw the trailer and it look so good

yes
does Make it rain give bonus to challenge log MGP?
when is the maintenance over
#lodestone-news-na , about another 2.5 hours if no delay
https://www.xenoveritas.org/static/ffxiv/timer.html You can watch the clock move slow here
Is the Gold Saucer worth going to? Never been and for the most part I've just been grinding out story quests, but I'm curious what merit there is to going to said place?
cosmetics
mounts, minions, glamours, hairstyles etc.
also some of the minigames are just fun
it's a huge piece of content
It's our version of Chuck e' Cheese, but without the pizza and ball pits
All I needed to hear was "Cosmetics"
Who needs gameplay when my character is looking fly

But I see, that's good to know
Yes it does
Is it the type of thing where you have to be in there for hours to make any real progress, or is it on the other end of the spectrum where it's basically a daily login?
the first one yes , i mean even getting in the game might be hard with the surge of new players XD
Is that so? I haven't had any real issues.
Usually when I log in it'll say there's a que of about 22 people. But that only takes like a minute max till I'm in
thats great then !
Though tbf, I don't think I'm on a "Popular" server. Just based off the name.
Crystal - Coeurl
@placid fern worst I had on Lich was 300 ppl queue and even that went in under 5 minutes I think

Oh I see I see

Damn I love this game. The servers are so good.
But yes, thank you all very much for the information!
I finished SB and still have my sprout icon anyone know why?
you need to also have 168 hour playime
Ah
for the sprout icon to automatically disappear
you can turn it off yourself if you want to
Did you finish leveling story or patch story?
I'm already deep into ShB
when can I re-sub? i tried last night and the cost still says 0
does it wait until all my days are gone?
You need 7 days of /playtime to lose sprout
Nah went through all the expansions
Oh then you just no lifed through it then
i think when you get to ShB you're no longer a sprout ?
Most people lose it by ShB start
š³
Thats one of 2 conditions
The other is 7 days of /playtime
specifically its finishing the 4.56 msq ||requiem for heroes|| and 168 hours of playtime
which is one week
both of those conditions have to be met
or you can have a 600 hours sprout
ah i see !
you can also turn off your sprout manually with /nastatus off but you'll never get it back
Rushed the story still a sprout š«
yea, its also possible to have a max lvl sprout at endgame because of low /playtime
The furthest I personally know is a friend who only lost sprout after ||The Dying Gasp||
i played with a sprout in academia anyder. that was the furthest sprout i saw
they were pretty good too
I had a question regarding the steam version of the game. After completing ARR in the free trial I wanted to buy the game but I'm unsure of the differences between the 2 versions. Due to regional pricing the steam version is cheaper for me but I was wondering if I would be able to purchase the subscriptions using my steam wallet.
Also, the endwalker standard preorder on steam doesnt mention that the 2 previous expansions are included with it but the SE version does, is there a disparity in the 2 expansion versions or did they just forget to mention the fact that SB and ShB are included with the preorder?
yes you can buy subs with steam wallet, thats the main advantage.
Endwalker on steam probably doesnāt mention it since you donāt get the older expansions until the official launch date.
(Non-steam Endwalker does this too with not getting the expansions early)
yea, pre-ording endwalker does not give you stormblood and shadowbringers until it actually launches in november
But do you get the expansions when endwalker launches in the steam version? Just wanted to confirm.
you should yes
TY for the info
Helloooooo
@sick ledge this would be where i mean
thank u
Anyone know when the maintenance ends?
6 am EST
@winged cobalt ty
@green grail ty too

Says the solution right there
Register your game to your Mog Station account
!faq mogstation
I registered it there
Take a screenshot of your mogstation front page
giving me this
But what if im trying to get a free trial first
Do i have to purchase?
you have to make a free trial account
You haven't made an account.
Hm
!faq freetrial
download the trial launcher using that link
do we have an estimated end time for the maintenance
2 hours assuming no early end
or delay
then download the free trial launcher using the link above
Did
separate to the regular game launcher
Have you downloaded the Free Trial launcher
NOT the regular game launcher
it's a separate launcher
Hmm
!faq freetrial
you could also try to register the free trial at https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com and login with your made account
i assume i did twice
press "Sign up now" and "Sign in with square enix account"
is there a chance maintenance ends early?
yes
atm i would be guessing, since there is no free trial service account it won't work. I would be also guessing just opening the free trial client won't auto-register it as a new service account if you don't have one
try using a different network, mobile network for example
ill use chrome instead of opera
will try this 2
can we also include the free trial registration link in the faq?
you can register via the launcher
Whats the optimal tank class in this game? i originally thought the dude with the shield would be the obvious answer but i saw and heard otherwise
no
not if you already have an account
!faq meta
Yeah, i keep receiving mixed answers for that too
Tanks are extremely tightly balanced.
Their damage capabilities in a skill vacuum are within 2% of one another.
from top to bottom.
Suzaku
player skill matters more than the job variance within itself. you can make any tank work.
@glossy flare ty
Highest damage is Gunbreaker but by so little that it doesn't matter.
instance is called "Hell's Kier"
so the answer is whichever tank you are better at/more comfortable
Part of the 4 Lords chain
Some people say that all are balanced and some go ''ackchyually''
Just press your buttons and do your job
DRK has fractionally lower damage but it also has a very powerful ondemand mitigation tool that is comfy
some are right and some are wrong.
And those people who say that are fucking stupid
people going "ackchyually'' are wrong
all
For everyone
it applies to all jobs
!faq metameme
We have this
all jobs are balanced within their role
The balancing in this game is suburb. No need to question it
you can go into the minute details but unless you play better than 95% of all players, the variance in tank are not something you can bring out
Devs actually care about balance and viability on all levels
Yeah frankly most players aren't good enough that job "meta" such as it exists matters.
Unlike other games
sure GNB is 2% more on paper but that not sometime you can achieve unless you can play perfectly.
so honestly, its whichever tank you are good at
We sometimes meme and gripe about jobs being "underpowered" but we mean by an extremely small margin
Since you can easily swap jobs there's no reason to do "FoTM" powerhouses
and never to the extent that it becomes a significant factor in deciding which job to play.
I see, thanks for the help folks
Question of my own: Since it's been a while and I'm not sure if they ever adjusted anything in that regard. What's the most efficient way to farm the first memories for the resistance weapons? Fates with blu or CEs in Bozja?
aight, thanks
I swear this relic is the easiest by far now
I'm not complaining
question more towards RP people, if you work as bartender, what is the usual payment you take for a 4 hour long event at night?
Thatās something youād likely need to ask Roleplaying discords/linkshells.
Probably a bit too niche for this channel
u might be right š
Calculate how much gil you can make in a hour, x4 that and ask that as payment.
If you're serious about receiving payment at all i mean, if you're in just for the fun and whatnot then dunno
are the current expansion relics same as bis weapons?
