#

Dang

ebon tinsel

does the maintenance apply to every server correct?

warm snow
#

Patch maintenance is world wide

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait why does Diamond EX drop 2 totems?

#

Will that change when the unlock comes or what?

faint flare
#

Who knows

#

It just does

leaden ginkgo

Are there any other EX fights that does this?

Diamond doesn't and is the least deceiving

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

knotty lily
#

Most of us believe its because they

faint flare
#

Hades is long due to cutscenes

knotty lily
#

Are long and theres no checkpoint

faint flare
#

Diamond isn't even longer

warm snow
#

Hade has like 5 phases and unskippable cutscenes

knotty lily
#

Like, Ruby has a "Checkpoint", right

faint flare

It's just a normal EX

Scroll up

faint flare

frank wigeon
#

What will be released in maintenance? That's long for a normal maintenance:)

warm snow
#

Maintenance is longer due to extra infrastructure maintenance

#

Probably due to massive influx of new players

knotty lily
#

Restriction removal of Paradigm Breach tokens, etc.

#

As far as content

mellow thunder
#

ah

warm snow
#

For tomes

faint flare
#

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

#

I thought DC travel was coming to 5.58 though...? didn't they accidentally announce it on steam

tribal apex
#

So anyone use a wireless keyboard on ps5? Need to find one for typing

faint flare
#

And it was ONLY preliminary notes as well

#

Which are unfinished notes

barren turtle
#

Steam isn't the one who pushes those announcements

faint flare
#

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?

opal swan

Thinking about playing red mage, is it hard to get into ?

wet widget
#

when is maintenance in this game to till?

obsidian patio
#

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

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

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 he’s 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?

That’s all the questions I’ve got for now. I wasn't able to find answers to these questions, so I thought to ask you lovely people.

woven magnet
#

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.

fading aurora
#

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

spring oasis
#

you can augment yo crypt shit

fading aurora
#

if that is true then this update is worth it

#

even if it stopped my gambling addiction

spring oasis
#

if it was true gamble, we would use gil

honest anvil
#

crypt weapons are outdated

obsidian patio
#

Yes Nier raids as a whole have no lockout anymore

#

Except for the materia tokens from paradigm

honest anvil
#

grind for that sweet relic

fading aurora
#

tomorrow will be a massive grind on nier raids

latent fossil
#

somebody can remind me what hour does the maintenance end from now?

fading aurora
#

the ques will be instant

obsidian patio
#

For scheduled end

honest anvil
#

do a !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

woven magnet
#

@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.

delicate elbow
#

ooof

#

Ok

#

I heard there's gonna be a cross server hopping feature available in a few months

#

is that true?

woven magnet
#

That is sadly still limited to in-region.

delicate elbow
#

yikes

obsidian patio
#

It’s not known for sure if Oceania will be a different region in terms of game licenses

woven magnet
#

For example there are 2 seperate data centers for JP

delicate elbow
#

Osaka and Tokyo?

obsidian patio
#

JP has 3 datacenters

woven magnet
#

oh yeah 3

#

elemental, gaia, and mana

obsidian patio
#

They’re all in Tokyo

delicate elbow
#

ah ok

woven magnet
#

usually you can't hop between them but with the data-center travel you'll be able to

#

but not from JP to NA

delicate elbow
#

Kinda sucks that rn there's not really consideration for people who move countries ;;

woven magnet
#

I feel that, my account is US and I've been living in Japan for 3.5 years now

delicate elbow
#

We've been here since pre-corona (3.5 years) and we're choosing where to move to

woven magnet
#

l o l so same deal

delicate elbow
#

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

woven magnet
#

i have absolutely no idea what my steam client is

#

i play with the windows client

delicate elbow
#

Ahh ok

plain python
#

do you use Flamethrower in single-target for MCN? Saw an Ultimate clip with MCN used it.

delicate elbow
#

So I guess he will likely have to play with windows client if he wants to choose a server other than JP

obsidian patio
woven magnet
#

it'll maybe be less annoying i think

spark silo
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Usually to get the first hit when a boss comes out of intermission

woven magnet
#

but if he's trying to get the new steam deck thing then maybe??

spark silo
#

Thanks

delicate elbow
#

I'll let him know

woven magnet
#

it's the new system coming out that'll allow you to play steam games on a portable system

delicate elbow
#

He's been bored of playing PSO2 NGS (already up to date on everything and the updates are slow)

woven magnet
#

buuuut no one knows how an MMO will handle on it but apparently p good

delicate elbow
#

Ahhh

#

the Steam Switch lmao

woven magnet
#

yep

delicate elbow
#

does look interesting

#

I'll ask him about that too

woven magnet
#

is your partner JP>

delicate elbow
#

Na, he's from the US. We're both English teachers with JET

woven magnet
#

Oh word

#

Well depending on whichever datacenter his JP friends play on or something

delicate zealot
#

new to FFXIV and notice its in maintenence mode right now, about how long that last?

woven magnet
#

I'd recommend either just making a char in an NA server or on Elemental -> Tonberry/Kujata

sonic kestrel
#

I think to 10PM?

#

AM

#

sorry

woven magnet
#

Unless if he can read/write japanese fluently, the JP data centers are generally pretty full-on JP players

honest anvil
#

do a !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

delicate zealot
#

ok ty

#

ok guess im not playing tonight then haha XD

delicate elbow
#

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

woven magnet
#

ye

sonic kestrel
#

yeah me too

delicate elbow
#

Maybe once cross server becomes a thing, I'll set mine up too

woven magnet
#

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to answer

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.

faster than you can type Roland

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

#

OH lmao

I thought he was joking

gloomy mortar
#

So I guess the answer to my question is no, there isn't a text search feature

gritty thicket
#

I’m serious šŸ˜€

dim ridge
#

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

stiff mango
#

do you split the house if you divorce in game too? who keeps the mounts?

dim ridge
#

nothing happens

#

your benefit is being able to teleport to each other on a 30min cooldown

honest anvil
#

ye nothing happens except you lost money

#

which is actually accurate to real life

stiff mango
#

well i mean ive seen some horrific divorces before, and the divorce lawyers are parasitic as hell

dim ridge
#

yeah nothing like that

#

you lose whatever you spent on the wedding and you lose your teleport to the person

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?

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

I used the PC Benchmark to do a limited character creation, which is why I couldn't get a hairstyle to match the character.

What's the best way to go for a new level 80 DoL for yellow scrips?

I've been 80 too long, and don't have good advice anymore

They don't have nodes or anything unlocked

guys i bought the standard edition years ago outside of steam, played for about a month only.

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.

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

wooden nova
#

why so long maintenance>

#

?

rigid narwhal
vocal star
#

Is the datacenter travel is in this patch?

twilit dust
#

What exactly is a static ive seen a few people/vids mention these

rigid narwhal
#

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

twilit dust
#

Okay thank you

#

Is there a list anywhere of what content to progress through from the start to newest expansion?

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

rigid narwhal
#

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?

rigid narwhal

a steam leak from 3 months ago said it

leaden ginkgo
#

I didn't see it in the patch notes

rigid narwhal
#

shows not to trust leaks :D

placid fern
#

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?

maiden palm
#

how many hours for eu maintenance to finish

leaden ginkgo
#

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

placid fern
#

Right, fair enough! Thank you for letting me know!

late fog
#

yep

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

late fog
#

think its 4 more hours

#

does this game have long maintenance's every week?

leaden ginkgo
#

Not that I've noticed, only on patch days really

late fog
#

k cool, my first week playing so just curious

polar badge
rigid narwhal
#

was waiting for that exact comment, thank you not my kousuke

polar badge
#

not my kousuke

restive jungle
#

best advices you guys could give to a new player?

rigid narwhal
#

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

night frost
#

would anyone know a funny laugh from a female race, it sounds like "ahHAA"

restive jungle
#

i do dungeons i like them and i primary do msq and blue quest so far.

rigid narwhal
#

cool

night frost
#

it's like a cackle

rigid narwhal
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

restive jungle
#

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

rigid narwhal
#

sweet

#

focus on that, but you'll learn organically

#

there's a guide which has a bunch of good advice

dusty mesa
#

hey guys ,is there a limit to how many retainers one can have

rigid narwhal
#

8

#

2 for free, 6 are a monthly purchase

leaden ginkgo
#

You get 2, any others need to be added to your account for 1$USD

dusty mesa
#

oh cool! was using my choco bag as bank just found out about retainers hehe ty for answering

polar badge
#

You can get 9 I believe

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, I think the maximum is 9

polar badge
#

Oh yea

#

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?

jade quartz
#

yes

rigid narwhal
#

30 days since the last time you subbed

shell gust
#

could someone help me out with some of the purchases on steam

#

on how they work

leaden ginkgo
#

What exactly do you need help with?

jade quartz
#

!faq product

zinc orbitBOT
shell gust
#

so i want to buy all of the dlcs with ffxiv included

jade quartz
#

Complete Edition.

shell gust
#

is the complete edition on steam?

jade quartz
#

yep

shell gust
#

i cant seem to find it

leaden ginkgo
#

It's on the store page, below the starter edition

tranquil valve
shell gust
#

also another question how would subscription payments work on steam

leaden ginkgo
#

You can use the steam wallet, or just set up a subscription on the mogstation

jade quartz
vast hinge
#

what server you play on from NZ?

jade quartz
#

I play on NA servers with ping of about 150-160ms

#

I get similar ping times to JP servers though

vast hinge
#

and that shouldn't affect anything but double weave right

jade quartz
#

Yeah basically.

vast hinge
#

I had a friend from east coast US play on JP

modern forge
vast hinge
#

and he said he was totally fine too

tranquil valve
#

@shell gustBe aware that if you purchase the game on Steam, all future expansion purchases must also be from Steam.

jade quartz
#

Shortly after Endwalker release they are launching an Oceanic datacentre.

mystic dirge
#

Maintenance should be done soon right ?

shell gust
#

in the complete edition do i also have to buy endwalker

#

no right?

vast hinge
#

yes

shell gust
#

ok

vast hinge
#

the complete edition is only up to ShB

shell gust
#

thank you guys alot šŸ™‚

tranquil valve
#

Endwalker isn't out yet.

shell gust
#

i know just a prepurchase dlc

astral skiff
#

maint ends in how many hours from now?

vast hinge
#

3 and 40 mins

astral skiff
#

ok thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Should sticky that lol

modern forge
#

if you get the free trial and endwalker you'll have to wait for endwalker to release to play stormblood and shadowbringers

bleak falcon
#

What is the Maintinence command?

placid fern
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

Summoners don't have positionals

#

Like most casters

vast hinge
#

does any caster have a positional

tranquil valve
#

The only reason to attack a boss from a specific direction is if the abilities specify.

placid fern
#

Ah! Gotcha! So if I cast like... Ruin for example, it'll deal normal damage whether in front or behind.

leaden ginkgo
#

I've never seen a mage type class ever have them tbh

placid fern
#

That being said.
If I have a class like Bard. Does that deal more damage from behind?

vast hinge
#

isn't it literally pure melee DPS only

#

for positional

jade quartz
#

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

tranquil valve
#

Back when accuracy was a thing there was a reason to attack from the rear, but that was forever ago.

placid fern
#

Gotcha! That makes sense!

jade quartz
#

if there is no positional bonus specified on the skill tooltip then it doesn't matter where you attack

placid fern
#

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?

vast hinge
#

you'd be reset to level 1

jade quartz
vast hinge
#

but otherwise nothing stopping you

jade quartz
#

Your conjurer level would be one

#

you would not lose summoner levels

#

to be clear

placid fern
#

Okay I was about to say

jade quartz
#

you could switch freely between the two

tranquil valve
#

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.

modern forge
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

vast hinge
#

that's not what people are talking about when they say positional

#

what you mentioned is just dodging.

jade quartz
#

That's not positionals

#

all jobs need to worry about dodging the fire uwucarby

vast hinge
#

well, if you're ranged physical, you don't really worry too much

leaden ginkgo
#

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

jade quartz
#

you do

vast hinge
#

cause you're always able to move freely

jade quartz
#

yeah and use that to dodge

#

that doesn't mean you're...not dodging ponder

vast hinge
#

what I mean is dodging as ranged physical is super easy

jade quartz
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

You should be close enough for your auto attack to hit as well

jade quartz
#

ranged autos are ranged GCD range

#

#

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

jade quartz
#

System > User Macros

stable ember
#

maintenance pepesad

rich gazelle
#

simple ones is fine. just want to say [it's my first time] or [nice to meet you] or [good game]

jade quartz
#

Maintenance very often ends 10--30 minutes earlier than scheduled

rich gazelle
jade quartz
#

Just open user macros and write that in one of the macro slots

#

then you can keybind the macro

rich gazelle
#

auto translate?

jade quartz
#

yes you can write auto translate things in a macro too

rich gazelle
#

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

jade quartz
#

arrow keys

rich gazelle
#

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?

Yup

junior walrus
#

I see some people use macros that are placed next to player list ? what could those be for?

rich gazelle
#

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

junior walrus
#

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?

even with unsynced team we struggled with bahamut turn 9

because of wipe mechanics

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.

it even caused my PC to shut down once

#

anyone got any ideas?

slate arrow
#

Otherwise no idea

mossy forge
#

I've ran other games just fine

#

on 4k 144fps

is there a website that shows me the rewards of each content ?

#

for example Garuda (Extreme) Trial

it says if they changed realms to congested then you would not be able to make characters because every realm is congested

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?

thats great then !

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

You keep it if you boosted

You need 7 days of /playtime to lose sprout

Oh then you just no lifed through it then

sour pumice

#

Most people lose it by ShB start

autumn drift
polar badge
#

The other is 7 days of /playtime

which is one week

#

both of those conditions have to be met

#

or you can have a 600 hours sprout

sour pumice
#

ah i see !

little swift
#

you can also turn off your sprout manually with /nastatus off but you'll never get it back

autumn drift
#

Rushed the story still a sprout 😫

whole wasp
#

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

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?

Endwalker on steam probably doesn’t mention it since you don’t get the older expansions until the official launch date.

#

(Non-steam Endwalker does this too with not getting the expansions early)

whole wasp
#

yea, pre-ording endwalker does not give you stormblood and shadowbringers until it actually launches in november

queen spruce
#

But do you get the expansions when endwalker launches in the steam version? Just wanted to confirm.

whole wasp
#

you should yes

do we have an estimated end time for the maintenance

obsidian patio

2 hours assuming no early end

maiden palm

or delay

jade quartz

Did

separate to the regular game launcher

sick ledge

and im logged in that site too

jade quartz
#

Have you downloaded the Free Trial launcher

#

NOT the regular game launcher

#

it's a separate launcher

sick ledge

Hmm

i assume i did twice

alpine shadow

press "Sign up now" and "Sign in with square enix account"

elder spoke
#

is there a chance maintenance ends early?

jade quartz
#

yes

alpine shadow
#

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

sick ledge

@alpine shadow smarttttttttt

oh sht

try using a different network, mobile network for example

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

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.

wild dragon
#

Yeah, i keep receiving mixed answers for that too

jade quartz
#

Tanks are extremely tightly balanced.

faint flare
#

There is no mixed answers

#

About who's best

lethal sapphire
#

yo what boss is this i like the music

jade quartz
#

Their damage capabilities in a skill vacuum are within 2% of one another.

#

from top to bottom.

glossy flare
whole wasp
#

player skill matters more than the job variance within itself. you can make any tank work.

lethal sapphire
#

@glossy flare ty

jade quartz
#

Highest damage is Gunbreaker but by so little that it doesn't matter.

glossy flare
#

instance is called "Hell's Kier"

whole wasp
#

so the answer is whichever tank you are better at/more comfortable

jade quartz
#

All tanks are desired in parties.

#

All jobs period are desired in parties

faint flare
wild dragon
#

Some people say that all are balanced and some go ''ackchyually''

faint flare
#

Just press your buttons and do your job

jade quartz
#

DRK has fractionally lower damage but it also has a very powerful ondemand mitigation tool that is comfy

jade quartz

But is that tank specific or DPS and healers too?

jade quartz
#

all

faint flare
#

For everyone

glossy flare

it applies to all jobs

**Do not use this to answer questions**
faint flare
#

We have this

jade quartz
#

all jobs are balanced within their role

leaden ginkgo
#

The balancing in this game is suburb. No need to question it

whole wasp
#

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

faint flare
#

Devs actually care about balance and viability on all levels

jade quartz
#

Yeah frankly most players aren't good enough that job "meta" such as it exists matters.

faint flare
#

Unlike other games

whole wasp
#

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

jade quartz
#

We sometimes meme and gripe about jobs being "underpowered" but we mean by an extremely small margin

faint flare
#

Since you can easily swap jobs there's no reason to do "FoTM" powerhouses

jade quartz
#

and never to the extent that it becomes a significant factor in deciding which job to play.

wild dragon
#

I see, thanks for the help folks

glossy flare
#

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?

faint flare
#

Cluster farm in bojza in a group

#

Fates solo

glossy flare
#

aight, thanks

faint flare
#

Cluster farms good

glossy flare
#

yeah I know the method

#

just didn't do any Bozja things for a while

faint flare
#

I swear this relic is the easiest by far now

glossy flare
#

I'm not complaining

maiden token
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

That’s something you’d likely need to ask Roleplaying discords/linkshells.

#

Probably a bit too niche for this channel

maiden token
#

u might be right šŸ˜›

wild dragon
#

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?
