[leaden ginkgo]

I been between 1 n 2 in the aggro meter thingy so I never used it cause I was told to let lower DPSes use it

[mossy moss]

well yeah, but running these errands doesn't let me hit my rotation once

[leaden ginkgo]

Melee

[solar bison]

i dont know what that means

[mossy moss]

tank or dps

[vast ferry]

i think he's next to the guy that gives the quest

[warm snow]

There's plenty of dungeons during the patch content

[leaden ginkgo]

NIN

[mossy moss]

if you're dps use lb3 on bosses in trials

[warm snow]

And trials

[solar bison]

i forgot who gave me the quest

[warm snow]

And the entire ct alliance raid series

[mossy moss]

do trials get any harder?

[faint flare]

Somewhat

Still telegraphed out the ass

And reusing stuff you see before

[mossy moss]

cuz every trial i did now just disappointed me

[pure lion]

is gilgamesh still the most populated server for eng player or is it just the dungeon qu for dps 8+min long?

[mossy moss]

i don't feel like they challenge me enough

[leaden ginkgo]

story trials are not meant to be hard lol

[faint flare]

All servers are populated

[mossy moss]

well yeah, but nobody wants to do the content i'm at

[leaden ginkgo]

there are extreme versions of those trials that are side content

[mossy moss]

because doing anything synced is a pain in the ass for players that cleared it when it was current

and people that are levelling don't give a shit

[pure lion]

hmm

[warm snow]

Hate to tell you, but most hw and arr content lacks in difficulty due to general power creep

[vast ferry]

i'm new and i hate the sync system

[hard aurora]

hey, for anyone that can answer:

do i need to have the relic equipped for the whole dungeon / raid / etc, or can i just equip it as soon as im done with it?

[faint flare]

Just the last boss

[hard aurora]

equip it only for that last boss? aight

thank you!

[mossy moss]

i like the sync system, but i feel like people don't use it enough

[true valve]

Just do the extremes

[warm snow]

#general-discussion

[mossy moss]

i have another question, where can i try to assemble a group for raids and stuff

for people that wanna do the arr raids

[true valve]

Party finder

[warm snow]

Party finder

[mossy moss]

i'm a free trial, was more hinting at discord stuff

[warm snow]

There's a resurgence of groups doing it synced due to asmon etc.

#603040914096783371

And test your luck

[faint flare]

Need to find the synced discord for the data centre

For synced stuff

[mossy moss]

well i did ask in recruitment but nobody responded, i guess i'll ask in lominsa and stuff

i just want to get all the raids down before i continue so that i can have the full experience

can i also ask in ffxiv discussion for that?

[warm snow]

You're really not gonna find a group for coils easily. It's completely optional and savage difficulty

You could try ffxiv discussion but no guarantees

[upper wren]

Also the real reason is it provides no reward

[mossy moss]

do i have to do any bonus quests for coils savage?

[heavy wadi]

there is no coils savage

[warm snow]

There's a unlock quest from the travelling minstrel

[faint flare]

Second coil savage

[heavy wadi]

coils is savage difficulty at base

[warm snow]

There's savage second coils

[heavy wadi]

oh oop

[mossy moss]

like, i'm on a website for raids for arr as well and i don't know their chronological order for story stuff, so is there any pointers on how the story goes for them as well?

[dull valley]

what is this mount?

[faint flare]

Raids aren't related to story

[warm snow]

The chronological order is the given order...

Binding coil of bahamut turn 1 is first, then turn 2, 3 etc

[warm snow]

Gabriel

[faint flare]

Gabriel

[warm snow]

From bozja

[mossy moss]

yeah, but i'm talking raids that came out in arr coils, labyrinth of the ancients, syrcus tower and the world of darkness

[true valve]

Coils close the 1.0 cinematic. Doesn’t really fit in the 2.0 msq timeline

[warm snow]

You get them in chronological order through blue quests

And do them in that order

[mossy moss]

so when you finish one the next one pops up

?

[true valve]

Yes

[warm snow]

Ish

[faint flare]

Yes

It's a chain

You can't skip around

[warm snow]

There's some fluff in between them

But essentially yeah

All story is linear here

[mossy moss]

well it's fine since it's pretty much attunement quests at that point

[autumn hedge]

According to the wiki I should have unlocked the quest for The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard), but there isn't one available from Raya-O-Senna

[warm snow]

Have you beaten the normal version?

[faint flare]

Did you do amdapor normal

[autumn hedge]

Yes. Several times

Let me run it another time just to be sure

[cunning loom]

you mean E-Sumi-Yan?

[autumn hedge]

The wiki says to talk to Raya-O-Senna

[autumn hedge]

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

[faint flare]

That's the quest step

[noble garnet]

Is final fatansy 16 online

[autumn hedge]

Huh... I guess they got it wrong

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

You're reading the OBJECTIVE

Not the QUEST GIVER

[autumn hedge]

OH

[warm snow]

It's going to be a single player game afaik

[cunning loom]

yeah...

[noble garnet]

thanks

[warm snow]

14 being an mmo is an exception for the final fantasy series

[rough patrol]

Since the asmon channel is locked, I’d figure I’d ask here: did asmongold finish second coils bahamut on normal or savage?

[warm snow]

Normal

[cunning loom]

normals only

saving savage for the future since it's kind of samey atm

[rough patrol]

Oh okay cool, because I’m trying to figure out if my group could do savage min lvl

[faint flare]

Just do the mechanics

[rough patrol]

Unfortunately there’s a few people in my group that struggle with consistency

[fast edge]

PSA re: a question I asked earlier: I don't think you need all eight clues to still get the rewards for the Make it Rain event. I messed up on my alt and missed some and got the Bad End but it still gave me the rewards and seems to allow me to grab the emote anyway

[warm snow]

You don't need to solve the mystery to get the rewards its just fun to do so

[fast edge]

Yeah, someone had mentioned I needed to get all the clues to get the reward earlier so

[sturdy kayak]

Hi, new of this server. May I ask for UI help in this channel?

[slim drum]

Hey! The Adamantoise discord server link isn't working.

[leaden ginkgo]

should i worry too much about gear untill i reach the latest content ?

[slim drum]

I was wondering if someone could invite me if they can?

[wise surge]

ok im having a seriously tough time logging into the trial version of FF14

[gritty oracle]

Does heroes have the same ilvl sync as tea?

[warm snow]

UNPRECEDENTED levels of new players

[warm snow]

No

[wise surge]

so i cant even play without paying for the game?

[warm snow]

Tea syncs to the same ilevel as the hg drops

[boreal storm]

You can

[true valve]

Just get the poetic gear at the 50/60/70 threshold

[warm snow]

You can but at peak times you'll have a rough time getting in

[boreal storm]

You’ll just be lower priority during peak

[slim drum]

Is there an updated invite link to the Adamantoise discord server?

[warm snow]

It sucks but there's so much demand atm they literally sold out of digital game codes

[wise surge]

it gives me this message when i try and log in

[warm snow]

That

[wise surge]

ive tried what it asks

[warm snow]

Is something else

[gritty oracle]

Is there a way to sync myself to 475 without a party?

[wise surge]

and it says i have to buy the game

[warm snow]

No

[boreal storm]

Wrong launcher

[wise surge]

what launcher am i supposed to be using then?

See above

[wise surge]

i guess steam is just a scam damn

[faint flare]

You can't use steam if you're not a steam account

[boreal storm]

Steam free trial is labeled as free trial

[wise surge]

i played on this launcher a couple months ago

makes no sense

[leaden ginkgo]

hmmm

[boreal storm]

Look at your account status on mogstation

[wise surge]

have a whole 18 hours

[boreal storm]

See what it’s registered as

[leaden ginkgo]

at what level should i buy the subscription ?

[true valve]

When you want to continue pass 60

The amount of content in just arr and hw is astronomical

[wise surge]

ok so i cant login because my account isnt registered and it doesnt matter what launcher i use

[stray carbon]

how does leveling gatherers in diadem work exactly?

[alpine shadow]

do you have a service account in mogstation?

!faq mogstation

[twilit rampart]

A question to which I think I only want answer yes/no . I didn't think of this earlier, but there is a cinematic in coils. I saw this on stream. I will likely never do content like that. ARe there other cinematics you don't see if you do only msq?

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[alpine shadow]

if not, then you would have to register your free trial at https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com, and then login with your account, and a new free trial service account is then made

[stray carbon]

do you mean the cutscenes or cinematics like the big cgi promo ones

[twilit rampart]

cgi

[alpine shadow]

the launcher won't register as free trial unless it is made as a new account from there, not when there is an existing account

[stray carbon]

does coils have cgi cinematics?

[lilac bloom]

What are the rewards for maxing all 3 healers, if any?

[twilit rampart]

I just want to know, if I have to search for them on youtube. I cant find any, but I had not found that one inside coils

[cunning loom]

yes

[stray carbon]

i didnt think it did

oh

[twilit rampart]

and only saw it on stream

[stray carbon]

i dont think theres any other

[twilit rampart]

i had mistakenly thoguht it to be the orignal ARR cinematic

[true valve]

There are no other cgi from raids

[twilit rampart]

thanks

[cunning loom]

there's one BIG movie cutscene during coils

it was really surprising

[twilit rampart]

it was badass

[boreal storm]

And it’s really rad

[cunning loom]

god it was amazing

[alpine shadow]

cool, so there is 0 service accounts there, then go to https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com and press "Sign up now" -> "Sign in with Square Enix Account"

[cunning loom]

aside from that movies aren't a thing in raids

there are just the ingame cutscenes

[gritty oracle]

Does it make a difference if I shift melds around in sets? Say, I'm supposed to meld my hat sps pie, and my gloves sps pie. Does it make a difference if I meld my hat with two sps, and my glove with two pie? Assuming both pieces of gear can take the substats.

[leaden ginkgo]

for DK do you get the same amount of MP by using Syphon Strike and Stalwart Soul?

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[alpine shadow]

yeah, both actions generate 600mp

[onyx finch]

so theres no way to hide your online status to your ingame friends, is that correct?

[fresh viper]

so this is the bred result, since it is a female fledgling does that mean it follows the right side? or is it rng between left and right?

[cunning loom]

rng

in the future when you breed that chocobo, those stats can pass on to the baby

[alpine shadow]

no, the only options are busy or anything else

[leaden ginkgo]

Any good youtuber for reviewing RR/HW/SB/SHB lore?

[fresh viper]

ok thanks

[cunning loom]

tbh i wouldn't worry TOO much about stars until a higher pedigree

maybe look for speed/endurance/stamina at high stars, but it takes forever to breed

[onyx finch]

gotchya thanks, just gotta show off my degen grinding hours then

[cunning loom]

cunning/accel aren't nearly as good

[fresh viper]

ok

[alpine shadow]

@wise surge did it work for you?

[wise surge]

downloading the game as we speak

[alpine shadow]

awesome

[wise surge]

ive been trying to play for like a week now

that was such a horrible time trying to get in just to download the game

[alpine shadow]

yeah, some might misunderstood that you had the wrong launcher, but you just didn't register up for free trial

[fresh viper]

does a retired chocobo's final stats affect their breeding stats?

[leaden ginkgo]

But thats weird he said he had been playing before and had 18 hours in the game

[cunning loom]

no

[onyx finch]

is there any inherent benefits to buying/launching the game on steam?

[wise surge]

its all good now though, very excited

[cunning loom]

only those 2 stat blocks inherited from parents matter

[fresh viper]

ah ok

[cunning loom]

that's why only the parent stats show up on the retiree form

[fresh viper]

no need to fuss about feeding them then

[cunning loom]

feeding only works for that chocobo

it doesn't carry onto future generations

[alpine shadow]

it might be that they logged in to the wrong account too

or that they just created a new account from square enix site

or just had their launcher open for 18 hours

[onyx finch]

is ranking up your chocobo a worthwhile time investment?

[cunning loom]

only if you find it fun

[onyx finch]

i feel like im behind in my msq but i have the quest to make the chocobo a companion now

[cunning loom]

if you minmax your endgame chocobo it's a hold W for 1m30s and get 1k MGP machine

oh, you mean your companion chocobo

you shouldn't focus on it, but just have it out when you do content

[onyx finch]

like the my feisty chocobo quest?

[cunning loom]

maybe do the challenge log every week and it'll level up before you realize it

[leaden ginkgo]

Why did I lose my road to level 70 buff? Isn't it supposed to be atleast 90 days? All I got is 45 😦

[onyx finch]

is that what youre talking about?

[cunning loom]

feisty chocobo is your companion chocobo yes

ignore the whole MGP-machine thing, that's for chocobo racing, another mechanic

[leaden ginkgo]

is your current job level 70? it comes back when you switch to another class under 70

nope, neither my first nor my other jobs are 70 yet

huh 🤔

i'm stuck at level 19 with no quest to do and recommandations tab only shows weak guildhests i think, is it the time i need to pay for the game or am i missing something ?

[cunning loom]

when did you make your character

[leaden ginkgo]

WHM is 66, CONJ is 42 😦

45 days ago

exactly

[coarse leaf]

are there no bracelets that give stats for gathering GP/perception/gathering?

[cunning loom]

all accessories should give GP

left side is perception/gathering, right side is typically GP

[gritty oracle]

The augment items for lv45 AF gear upgrade don't need to be HQ, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

how did you run out of quests to do? have you only been doing side quests and avoiding your msq?

[onyx finch]

tbh im a noob too, i played for the first time yesterday all day, got to level 31, and i never lost my msq quests

[narrow jay]

The buff expires after a set time frame as well

[cunning loom]

90 days, so idk why it'd have expired

it's supposed to be whichever is longer between server losing preferred status and 90 days, so

[leaden ginkgo]

it's just locked

[faint flare]

Read the quest objective

[leaden ginkgo]

rip

[fresh viper]

unless you created the character before those 45 days

[cunning loom]

they're pretty adamant that they made their char exactly 45 days ago, so idk

[leaden ginkgo]

yup, I know that because of how many days of sub I have left

[cunning loom]

you started without the free trial and immediately jumped into a paid sub?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh lmao im retarded

[leaden ginkgo]

yup, wanted to reroll anyway on a different server

im sorry xD

cause that server had pref status at the time of creation

[onyx finch]

it happens dude dont worry about it, at least u got it figured out now! lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Should I try to contact a GM ingame?

[cunning loom]

maybe just email support and get clarification

[leaden ginkgo]

my friend gets this error right before installing the launcher,any help? he tried everything on the web rn and still gets it :/

[little swift]

please be advised to not use the r-word here in this discord. it is considered a slur. for more information about what words aren't okay to use, check out rule 1 in #about-this-server

oh

thxs

guess I wont keep leveling my second job outside of roulette for now... 😢

kind of a noob question but

what's uwu and tea?

always thought uwu was just a face lmao

[alpine shadow]

Ultimate Weapon (Ultimate), and tea is The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)

as in UCOB is The Unending Coil of Bahamut

[glacial veldt]

How does the glamour system work? I've done the main one at level 15. Is it an entirely different class, or is there just a UI I need to sit down and practice?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh yea can’t you switch classes whenever

[alpine shadow]

well, with glamour you have glamour prisms to replicate an items appearance, using glamour prisms you can also add the item to the glamour dresser to be used with glamour plates which can be applied

[cunning loom]

glamour is a mechanic/tool, not a class

you can do it on all characters

So I hit post-50 before ARR was complete, and it says I'm unlocking job quests, but there's nothing next to the MSQ. Did it just change in Heavenward, or do I need to wait until Heavensward starts before I can do them?

it is a direct hit and crit

It when a direct hit and a crit trigger on the same hit

[faint flare]

With 535 weapons

[dull valley]

so going from 510 to 520 weapon level would be a big upgrade?

[faint flare]

A noticeable one yes

Cause weapon damage is the best stat

[twilit arch]

it means you haven't earned all of the possible rewards from playing that npc

I noticed running a lvl 69 dungeon gave me 80%

[faint flare]

You get less armoury bonus

Despite having earring, fc bonus and food

[faint flare]

70+ gives you 50% armoury bonus

Under 70 gives 100%

[verbal rune]

Ooof

[scenic breach]

but after i use blizzard three blizzard four is still unusable, why?

[faint flare]

Use Enochain

[twilit arch]

did you use enochain

[scenic breach]

no

[twilit arch]

that's why

[faint flare]

Then use it

You should always have it active

hiii, sorry if this question is obvious/gets asked often, but i couldn't figure it out at all and found many conflicting answers :') if i buy complete edition, could i play a free trial account now for as long as i want, and then just "apply" the complete edition to my account once i want to start playing with the subscription n the expansions? or would i have to start over?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can hold the code

[young garden]

ooo okay thanks. and if i start the subscription, i'm not able to go back to the "free" stuff right? like i'd need to continue paying to do anything really

[faint flare]

Just hit 60 and own shadowbringers

[sleek bane]

Wow I thought wiki forgot to write about quests

thanks anyway

[faint flare]

Only heavensward were story locked

SE learnt their lesson from that

[leaden ginkgo]

cant find where i redeem the endwalker standard content

[faint flare]

You can't

[sleek bane]

I can see
I've been crying my way through eorzea to get to ishgard just to finally play astrologian

[faint flare]

Yet

You shouldn't even have the standard code yet but steam is steam

[leaden ginkgo]

where is the closest mailbox/easiest place to access it

[sleek bane]

Im lvl 60 and am in mid of these tidious "level 50" quests

[faint flare]

Eulmore is close aetheryte to a mail box

[inland fox]

Shiva's Theme (2nd song) any more tunes like that in the game?

[willow sparrow]

so is Eorzea not the name of the planet?

[acoustic thorn]

does it matter where i hire my retainers?

[opal swan]

Can you buy linen coatee of crafting from the market board?

[faint flare]

The planet is called Hyadelyn

Eoreza is the main contenient

[willow sparrow]

ooh

[faint flare]

Garland, the far east and the new world etc aren't part of Eoreza

[willow sparrow]

I thought Hydaelyn was the crystal god thing

[faint flare]

It is

They share names

[willow sparrow]

oh

aight things make more sense now, thanks :P

[faint flare]

Plus some additional World Meta level stuff

That you'll find out later

[willow sparrow]

alright

[rigid meadow]

This means i have stormblood right? as obvious as it seems

[solar bison]

when i get flying?

[copper hound]

if i rank up a beast tribe, say the pixies, i get 3 extra quests, but on the following days that werent rank ups i only get 3 quests again, is that correct?

[faint flare]

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

[faint flare]

Yes

[manic flare]

did a lot of people protest that?

[faint flare]

Alot of people didn't like it

And still dont

[primal relic]

So is Shapeless Form just like Perfect Balance, except you gain all the extra benefit of the directional bonus?

[tropic condor]

I was wondering where to get level 70 gear for crafter classes at that isn't just the market board? I am still in SB at the moment so nothing beyond that

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[obsidian patio]

Craft it yourself or buy with yellow scrips

[faint flare]

No

Form shift is just Perfect balance for 1 gcd

[tropic condor]

Oh? They have gear for script at 70? Thats pretty good then

[obsidian patio]

Yeah you want the Handking/Landking stuff, IIRC

[primal relic]

I don't really understand, but that means it's better?

[obsidian patio]

No, because Form Shift is on the GCD

You lose damage by using it if you can hit the enemy

[primal relic]

Wha?

[obsidian patio]

Form Shift is for when you can’t hit the enemy, like pre-pull or during intermission

[tropic condor]

I see, and I guess what materias should be slotted in for that? like the craftsmanship, Crafting Points, or Control bonuses. Minor improvements but improvements nonetheless

[faint flare]

Using form shift triggers the gcd

[obsidian patio]

Scrip gear doesn’t have materia slots

They’re basically in-between gear to help make the crafted gear and meld those to be better than the scrip stuff

[tropic condor]

Ah, that kinda sucks but understandable if they have good base stats to make good versions of the crafted gear

[primal relic]

oh I see what you mean, it shares cooldown with other skills. So if I use it, i'll be losing a few seconds of dmg. And it's only good when I can't position myself for the directional benefits like during pulls, or boss has no butt. Sorry i'm dumb

that's wha you meant right?

[faint flare]

You don't get directional bonuses

With form shift

That's true north's and riddle of earth

Form shift grants you FORM bonuses

Ie you'll get Leaden fist from dragon kick even if you're not in its stance

It's literally perfect balance for 1 gcd that triggers the gcd on use

That's it

[primal relic]

Oh at the bottom of the skills it says "Any additional effects associated with the executed action will also be applied" so I assume it would. that sucks

[vapid nymph]

my friend cant create server on same light server as me... we will both be light server but he will be on lich while im on odin.. can we play together or no?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can world visit

!faq worldvisit

[zinc orbit]

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

[gilded forge]

Am I able to wear two cryptlurker rings or just the one?

[primal relic]

For the directional skills does it still count if i'm inside the ring for flanking and rearing for giant/huge bosses? I'm assuming no.

[vapid nymph]

can he be perma on odin with me?

[void mesa]

how come every time I look at grand company delivery missions it's always blank and says no more being accepted today, I don't get it

[obsidian patio]

Only one

Unless one is augmented and one is not

[rancid mesa]

Whats the best way to gear once level 50

[gilded forge]

That was almost a very expensive mistake, thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

when i use the pre-order ear ring rather than the scaevan ones i have less hp even though the vitality on the pre-orders are higher?

[leaden ginkgo]

with preorders: 88369
with sceaven: 88828

[sharp tapir]

are these not the same in stats

or am I missin somethin

[obsidian patio]

Do your level 50 job quest and grind level 50 duties like the crystal tower raid series for poetics

[low lynx]

is there a way to get out of combat with a striking dummy?

[gilded forge]

Right click the name

[rancid mesa]

How do i unlock the crystal tower?

[obsidian patio]

Direct hit used to be two different stats pre-4.0, accuracy and parry

[sharp tapir]

oh, so it's updated to be the same now but didn't change quest I presume

[obsidian patio]

Grab the quest “Legacy of Allag” in mor dhona

[rancid mesa]

Tyty

[primal relic]

So how do I use mediation properly do I just weave the skill in between my combat skills and then pop the ult with it when I can?

[terse charm]

Yo anyone here familiar with the recruit system? If so then is it possible for my friend to use my recruit friend code and then me use his aswell whwn neither of us has payed for a sub yet?

[obsidian patio]

Only use meditation outside of combat or when you can’t hit. You generate stacks as a proc when critting.

[primal relic]

oooh nice! ty

[old pewter]

how does chocobo coloring work when you have the color you want already but they need to spend more time training? is there something you can feed that won't influence it?

[vocal hemlock]

Can I add my friend in Louisoix if i’m in Omega?

[hasty sapphire]

so in the patch notes it says the weekly lockout for loot in breach at para tower raid is removed? but my duty finder still says "rewards received" couldi spam it for catch up gear? Or do i need to wait a week?

[hard sigil]

random question but can you display weapons in your room/house/fc house?

[dull valley]

whats the earliest level you can pick up dragoon?

[slate arrow]

With mannequins yes

[slate arrow]

When you have a level 30 lancer

[hard sigil]

okay thank you :3. i shall get one of those when i can!

[dull valley]

lancer can be started at character creation?

[regal pawn]

Yeah

[slate arrow]

yes, or at level 10 with any class that starts in gridania if you didn't start as one

[spring maple]

Hi guys, there is no lfg channel on this discord ?

[slate arrow]

Level 15 otherwise as the MSQ restricts you to one city until you complete the story arc

[dull valley]

trying to figure out what I want to make my viera character once I finish the game with my highlander warrior lol

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you get the dyable version of the lvl 70 artifact gear? And how hard is it to get :o

[opal swan]

Where can I get the dyeable dancer gear?

[regal pawn]

!faq afgeardye

[zinc orbit]

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[regal pawn]

@opal swan @leaden ginkgo ^ for both

[slate arrow]

You need to grind eureka, and you need to grind eureka

The difficulty mainly comes from the tedium of grinding eureka

[regal pawn]

And yeah, Eureka can be a hefty grind.
Definitely doable solo, but it does get tedious

At the very least, you only have to grind in the first area for the artifact gear

[opal swan]

Everyone I’ve talked to complained about eureka, is it really that bad

[slate arrow]

it's simply tedious

[dull valley]

jrpgs love tedious grinds lol

[slate arrow]

Just like playing pre CBU3 Final Fantasy 11

[opal swan]

I’ve tried Bozja and it’s not that bad

[smoky girder]

whats the best way to find a PotD party? is it PF?

[regal pawn]

Talk to the person and click "Enter"
There'll be an option to join as a matched party which will drop you into a "duty finder"-like queue

[slate arrow]

Bozja is closer to normal FFXIV in comparison as there's a "duty finder" for fate instances

[smoky girder]

huh

I guess I never noticed that

[slate arrow]

Bozja is a less tedious version of Eureka

Eureka didn't really get good until the third zone which introduced the logogram actions

[opal swan]

Good thing i don’t like the looks of the Stormblood relic weapons

No need to grind eureka

[dull valley]

how often is the odin fate up?

[slate spindle]

Bit of a minor correction, Parry became Tenacity, Acc became DH

[obsidian patio]

[torn echo]

I've only just hit rank 14 in Bozja, but haven't really thinned out optimal Lost Actions to use. I've basically just been running Cure/Protect but are there actions combos I should start running now that are better? I've been mainly using Bozja to level, so all classes are relevant

[slate arrow]

Do you want to cheese duels? No? Just use whatever is comfy

[obsidian patio]

The banner of Noble Ends is your general go-to damage essence

Just be aware you can’t be healed while it’s active

[torn echo]

I'd like to prioritize survival as I learn the CE fights. Is there a good combo for defense/offense?

[devout lichen]

where does the Scholasticate questline start because I'm looking at gamerescape and I can't see that quest anywhere in the pillars

[obsidian patio]

Cure 2 instead of cure 1 so you can use it between GCDs.

Besides that nothing real specific for your rank

[obsidian patio]

It’s likely inside an instanced area in that church with the statue. Look for the door icon on the map

[steady ridge]

Where should I go to find a group for Memoria Misera? Been wanting to do it but can never find a group

[torn echo]

Ah, so I can just run protect/cure 2 then and be okay. I've been running defense pots on DPS and dps pots on tanks/healers

[pearl mesa]

When I pop Asylum in an unsynced party, does the healing run off my level and stats, or theirs?

I know for most things it uses my stats, but Asylum's weird because it's ground-target.

[obsidian patio]

Yours

[devout lichen]

it says 6.3 9.4 but

thats a different quest that is not even in the same questline

[pearl mesa]

Scholasticate also require that you've finished the Hildibrand quest line for HW.

[devout lichen]

nah nevermind it was there, the npc just had multiple quests

and the map only showed the other one

[leaden ginkgo]

where would I go to find a group for delubrum (savage) I really want the mount.

[faint flare]

Need to find your data centre discord for it

[leaden ginkgo]

last I checked the discord for my data center was pretty dead

what do i do when i cant activate enochian

[waxen karma]

I've unlocked the ability to craft/turn-in for white crafter scrips, but not the ability to buy anything with them or see what items I can exchange for them. Do I need to have progressed through a certain part of Shadowbringers MSQ?

[lyric rapids]

in the party finder whats the difference between this and the next picture

both allow any role and any class, no?

You need to have done at least the level 70 arc involving alphinaud in eulmore I believe? That and you need to unlock splendors in foundation near the levequest people

[static loom]

guess ffxiv-discussion was the wrong channel ^^` sooo heres the question again: is it against the tos to sell/buy an fc? dont see any offers in pf recently

[slate arrow]

It's not against ToS unless it involves real money

That's the general rule of thumb

[teal orbit]

Do all ff14 bosses follow a strict (but long) cycle of moves?

[static loom]

alright, thanks :3

[slate arrow]

Yes, unless the mechanic is specifically a random order

[devout lichen]

where do hildi quests start, thought it was rise and fall of gentleman

[slate arrow]

See: quintuplecast and Memoria Extreme

[teal orbit]

So this makes them somewhat predictable?

[obsidian needle]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yed

[wild dragon]

Can anyone tell me why the !me command bot doesnt update my profile to the way it currently is? that profile is some hours old

[keen bramble]

between gladiator and marauder NPCs in squad command, is one better than the other?

[faint flare]

Once you see enrage you know everything

[glacial isle]

for these early quests, is it better to just get the Materia and sell it or?

[slate arrow]

I prefer gladiator due to hallowed ground but it's really preference between safety and damage

[glacial isle]

cause the gear's worse than my Shire hear

[faint flare]

Can sell the gear on market

[obsidian needle]

Some things have different mechanics each time, like Albedo in CLL. But its just different mechanic orbs

[teal orbit]

What's the advantage of a boss having a completely predictable & static pattern?

[light lion]

Starts in that church/graveyard in uldah I think

[teal orbit]

easier to balance?

[obsidian needle]

You can make them really hard but fair, since its a dance between you snd the boss

[keen bramble]

what does hallowed ground do? would u say glad is more towards safety?

[obsidian needle]

When you screw up you know its your fault, not the games

[wild dragon]

Anyone know the answer to my question?

[slate arrow]

It's due to how the combat design of the game is. Because it's static it's easier for controller players to adjust in advance and for cooldowns to be managed

[teal orbit]

You can make them less predictable while still keeping them fair I think

[slate arrow]

Invulnerability for about 8 seconds

[faint flare]

And you can make the fight progressly harfer

[narrow jay]

that's called Savage

[faint flare]

You can introduce mechanics at the start of the fight

Then mix them together

[slate arrow]

See: Memoria Extreme and Quintuple Cast

[teal orbit]

I see, so it essentially makes the fights less reliant on reactions and more on knowing the mechanics?

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

yes

[faint flare]

It's skill base

Instead of reaction

[teal orbit]

Well

[faint flare]

Do the mechanics

[light lion]

Are irregular tomestones event over?

[teal orbit]

but doing the mechanics comes down to just knowing right

[faint flare]

Long over

Knowing is different than doing

[devout lichen]

I'm hella confused now

[teal orbit]

there'd be more skill involved if you couldnt just memorize what you're supposed to do in advance

[light lion]

lol so do I just toss these irregular tomestones then

[faint flare]

You can know how to do fucking wormhole

But performing it is different

[slate arrow]

did someone say hello world

did someone say lions rampant

[teal orbit]

would performing the wormhole be more difficult if you didn't know exactly when it was coming?

[slate arrow]

even if you know, people fuck it up

[twilit abyss]

So I’ve always played hyur but now I wanna cosplay a space Marine, roe or hrothgar would be better?

[faint flare]

Yes and 100x more bullshit

[ocean gorge]

Hello everyone, does Zadnor have skirmishes tied to killing specific monsters too? I would like to spawn An Immoral Dilemma, and Hypertuned Havoc

[faint flare]

"Oh you just used your mitigation? Guess you'll all die now cause I said so"

[slate arrow]

did someone say LIGHT RAMPANT

I didn't even raid and I have PTSD from my friends who progged it

[obsidian needle]

Go on eorzea collection and search by those races

[faint flare]

There would be 0 counterplay to mechanics if they were random here

[obsidian needle]

See what you find

[teal orbit]

yeah true

[narrow jay]

There's also still an element of randomness.

Quite often high level mechanics will have two or three different patterns they can occur in, and you won't know which one until it starts happening

[faint flare]

And with random mechanics it's more pain I'm the ass to progress and learb

[teal orbit]

Couldnt adding a longer cast timer for it fix that? or do you have to save long CD mitigation for it

So it just can't be random at all

[teal orbit]

yeah true

[faint flare]

Defensive Cooldowns here are long

Like 90s+

[loud saffron]

hello, so im on siren. im trying to move to primal and buying a scenario skip but it wont let me buy it for my new character on primal

[slate arrow]

Anyways it feels like this is rapidly turning into a discussion so

While this conversation is neat, #endgame-lounge is probably better

[copper hound]

can somebody explain why i cant use my spring water to craft? seems weird

[slate arrow]

Free Trial or full game

[loud saffron]

full game

i bought the shadowbringer edition on im still on 30 days free

[low lynx]

What kind of materia would I use for a machinist weapon?

[slate arrow]

That's true spring water not normal spring water

[slate arrow]

How new are we talking about?

[low lynx]

its for this gun

[spare pulsar]

Do i need to collect ALL the aether currents to get flying?

[slate arrow]

@low lynx just meld crit

@spare pulsar yes per zone

[jade quartz]

Yes

[loud saffron]

@slate arrow 2 weeks... i grinded my ass on ARR and wanted to skip it

[narrow jay]

the highest level available; beyond that, DPS tend to prioritise Crit > Direct Hit > Determination > Skill Speed

[atomic dirge]

Could anyone maybe post a screenshot of how you've setup your hotbar for DRG, Just can't really seem to get a good grip on it :3

[leaden ginkgo]

i boosted to 70 where is smarai quest?

Or just give some tips

yes, but SAM will be level 50 when you unlock it

You can become a samurai but it’ll be level 50

is samuari good?

if you have the job stone and weapon for it, you can swap classes whenever you want

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

are they worth unlocking still?

why the lochs aethyrite currents are so hard to get to??!!

No

[slate arrow]

you can't unsync ultimates

[faint flare]

You can't unsync ultimates

Period

[solar ice]

Oh

[slate arrow]

it's "easier" due to item level sync and better food but it's still 99% still the same challenge

[teal orbit]

are tank busters a good time to pop your invuln as tank?

[faint flare]

They're purposely kept at the highest difficulty

[slate arrow]

yes

[jade quartz]

Depends on the fight

[teal orbit]

how much %hp dmg do tankbusters usually do

assuming no mitigation

[faint flare]

High end raids will kill you

Immediately

[jade quartz]

Depends on the fight and the content level

[teal orbit]

I know ultimate tankbusters just 1shot

[faint flare]

Savage busters one shot

[teal orbit]

Chastening heat from tea

[jade quartz]

Savage tbs also will 1hko without mitigation

[slate arrow]

tank busters one shot you unless you tank swap + migitate

*for the harder fights anyways

[teal orbit]

why tank swap?

[slate arrow]

debuff

[jade quartz]

Yeah they often force swaps

Debuffed

[teal orbit]

MT's acquire debuffs over time

[slate arrow]

you'll take increased auto damage after the buster due to a debuff

[teal orbit]

I see

[jade quartz]

By inflicting a vuln debuff on target

[faint flare]

Making yoy take 999% more damage

[teal orbit]

oh

[faint flare]

Meaning you'll die to autos

[teal orbit]

Is this a general mechanic or specific to a small amount of bosses

[faint flare]

General mechanic

[narrow jay]

yes

[jade quartz]

Specific to a large amount of bosses

[teal orbit]

I've heard about invuln stacks the more you fail at mechanics

[faint flare]

For high end raids

[teal orbit]

But I guess that tanks just keep stacking them up over time by default?

[faint flare]

No

Busters put a SIGNIFICANT high vuln on you

[jade quartz]

No it’s usually the TB that inflicts it

[slate arrow]

Vuln stacks was the default "punishment" for getting hit but some raids are now doing a "damage done down" debuff instead

*this is a general mechanic thing, not a tank exclusive thing

[leaden ginkgo]

is smamauri good?

[faint flare]

You should never get vuln stacks, outside of ones the game forces on you

[slate arrow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[faint flare]

That basically say "don't get hit by X for the mechanic"

[teal orbit]

wait

do all tankbusters put a debuff on you? is the debuff what makes it lethal?

I thought they just did high base dmg

[slate arrow]

most do

[faint flare]

All high end raids

[jade quartz]

Many tankbusters in high end raids

[faint flare]

The buster itself one shots

[jade quartz]

Not necessarily all

But most

[faint flare]

But if you survive it and keep aggro

[jade quartz]

The buster inflicts the debuff

[faint flare]

The vuln kills you

[teal orbit]

So the tankbusters work by applying a big vuln debuff I see

[faint flare]

Cause autos

[jade quartz]

The damage has to be mitigated to avoid death

[faint flare]

Majority of high end raids will put a vuln on the tank to force Tank swaps

[slate arrow]

high upfront damage and high damage afterwards

[midnight yew]

Anyone know ways to level up pretty fast? my main story requires level 49 and I am currently 47

[jade quartz]

And you have to immediately tankswap to avoid death directly afterward due to vuln

[teal orbit]

Is tank swap done by that one ability that "transfers" aggro (forgot the ff14 term)

[faint flare]

Provoke then shirking

Off tank vokes

Main tank shirks

[jade quartz]

OT provokes
MT shirks OT

[faint flare]

Swap done

[teal orbit]

Yeah shirks right

was thinking about that ability

[jade quartz]

This should generally be done during the castbar of the buster

[untold socket]

Whats the best materia to go for as DRG?

[teal orbit]

Yes, otherwise you get busted after the swap lol

[jade quartz]

Another common thing is a multi-hit buster

[fiery helm]

whats this guild? should I join it? https://prnt.sc/1gbdu29

[teal orbit]

Do you always need shirk?

[faint flare]

Yes

[jade quartz]

Not necessarily

But it’s free

[teal orbit]

But if you only need to use provoke

[slate arrow]

It makes it easier to pass aggro

[faint flare]

It's the goldsmith job

It's not an actual guild

[slate arrow]

if you only provoke you risk stealing back aggro

[jade quartz]

And ensures there is no problem with damage differences making one tank accidentally steal back aggro again

[frank acorn]

so i'm pretty sure i've unlocked ventures (at least, no purple 'ill concieved venture' quest is turning up when i meet the requitrments for it, so i think??? i must have done it??? i can't find a place to actually check)
i am completely lost with how to get going with them tho, wiki says stuff about being able to find it from 'market board status' in my retainer's menu but there's literally nothing about it.

[fiery helm]

whats goldsmith job mean ?

[jade quartz]

It’s a crafting class

[slate arrow]

it's one of the 8 crafting classes you can pick up

[fiery helm]

is it a good pair with gladiator?

[faint flare]

You need all crafters

[jade quartz]

Retainer will have “assign venture”

[faint flare]

Ideally

[jade quartz]

If it’s not there you haven’t done the quest

[slate arrow]

You should get all crafters

[frank acorn]

it does not, though

[teal orbit]

Oh I see

provoke is literally just

highest enmity + 1

[slate arrow]

You'll need to assign them a class first

[jade quartz]

There are no “good pairs”

[jade quartz]

No that’s outdated info

[faint flare]

It's highest emnity + some

[jade quartz]

It’s more than that

[faint flare]

But some isn't enough

[teal orbit]

Oh..

[slate arrow]

It's not just one point not but it's still small enough you can have aggro stolen from you

[boreal glade]

what are some faster ways to get recruits for my squadron?

[teal orbit]

I see

[fiery helm]

ah all that, and I dont meet the req to join lol

[frank acorn]

is that what the modern vocation thing is all about?

[slate arrow]

yes

[teal orbit]

And it is optimal that the OT provokes first BEFORE the MT uses shirks right?

[jade quartz]

Well that’s for later

[frank acorn]

it. says she needs to be level 50? um

[faint flare]

Yes...shirking before voking does nothing

[jade quartz]

It is not only optimal but necessary

[slate arrow]

Classes are for level 30 for the job advancement, or 50/60 for expansion/Shadowbringers jobs

[jade quartz]

For now just equip retainer with a weapon/tool

[teal orbit]

I see, interesting

[jade quartz]

To assign their initial class

[teal orbit]

I wonder why Shirk is "only" unlocked at lvl 48

[frank acorn]

okay i don't know how to do ... any of that so i guess it's off to google

[teal orbit]

when it's a core ability

[jade quartz]

It’s not necessary before then

Ever

[slate arrow]

You don't need it until you unlock 8 player trials

[faint flare]

Which you get at 50

Even then tank swaps are only in High end content

[verbal rune]

Do enemies hit harder/is there something different about shb dungeons?

I noticed I can barely keep up healing

[jade quartz]

Holminster is a bit of a jump

After that you should be fine

[frank acorn]

i'm not sure how i'm supoposed to do anything outside of these 4 options. there is no 'ill conieved venture' quest up.

[slate arrow]

Holminster just kinda slaps

[teal orbit]

Is there any way to see the players enmity/aggro?

[frank acorn]

i'm level 50 and have completed arr

[teal orbit]

Or is it a hidden value

[slate arrow]

You haven't progressed far enough yet

[verbal rune]

Ah, so it's just the first dungeon

[slate arrow]

Look at the party list when in combat

[faint flare]

You see a bar under job icons

[jade quartz]

Yeah you haven’t done it. Go to your starting city aetheryte

[teal orbit]

What does the off-tank do generally?

[faint flare]

That's how much aggro people have in comparison to the highest perso

[frank acorn]

dude i am There. i am scouring my map on lower docks. there is No Quest

[faint flare]

Be a blue DPS and handle adds

[slate arrow]

DPS and off tank mechanics

[jade quartz]

In casual content they are blue dps and handle adds

[faint flare]

And helps the main tank with their shared Cooldown

If needed

[jade quartz]

In endgame they have dedicated mechanics and stuff

[teal orbit]

Ohh I never noticed that bar before

Are tank swaps almost exclusively done to dodge tank buster debuffs?

[faint flare]

Yes...Otherwise the tank dies to auto

[jade quartz]

Yeah

That is a forced tank swap

It’s a mechanic of the fight

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it confirmed this car will be 200kMGP in September?

[slate arrow]

the distinction between MT and OT is literally just "who has aggro"

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't wanna give false info to my FC members

[slate arrow]

It was 200k last time, unlikely it'll change

[faint flare]

It was 200k before

No reason why it would change

[teal orbit]

But are tank swaps also done for other reasons?

When the tank just gets low for whatever reason

[faint flare]

Not really

[jade quartz]

Not really

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks guys

[teal orbit]

Alright

[slate arrow]

the tank shouldn't be lethally low unless the healer isbasleep

[jade quartz]

Actually yes

[leaden ginkgo]

And that's a 4 seater mount car, correct?

[faint flare]

Yes

[frank acorn]

i ... omg i have the quest it just wasn't on the sidebar. i'm so dumb lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

Amazing thanks

[jade quartz]

To make use of both tank invulns

[teal orbit]

everything can happen in ultimates I guess

[faint flare]

Well those are planned

[teal orbit]

Oh yeah that makes sense

[jade quartz]

Yeah always planned

[teal orbit]

I also just read that Shirk has a pretty high CD (2min)

[jade quartz]

In advance

That’s not very high

[slate arrow]

tank busters don't happen too often

[teal orbit]

Is it possible that the boss does a second tank buster when Shirk is still on CD?

[slate arrow]

no

usually

[jade quartz]

Not one that forces a swap

[slate arrow]

There are small exceptions

And mini busters

[teal orbit]

I see

Is it possible to esuna the tank buster debuff before the attack happens?

[slate arrow]

No

Those aren't esunable

very few are as a matter of fact

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the 2B slut glam guaranteed from The Copied Factory or no?

[faint flare]

Yes

yes I know about the invulns

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait does anyone know how to get the soot black dye ?

[teal orbit]

very long CD though

either swap -> invuln -> die and res lol

practical question about tank busters
https://youtu.be/yLoko-TILLk?t=389
in this vid, Sindalf got busted to 1hp, why didn't he swap?

timestamped 6 28

[slate arrow]

Living Dead

[faint flare]

Invulned more hits of the buster

Before swapping

[teal orbit]

oh yeah I know he used invuln

but isnt it best to swap?

[warm snow]

Living dead and holmgang both keep you at 1 hp, if you're using them on a buster you abuse it as long as possible

[warm snow]

Not while the invuln is still active

[faint flare]

You.jse the full duration of the Invuln

[slate arrow]

Living Dead lasts for up to 10 seconds of "invuln"

the only downside being you die afterwards unless you're healed

[warm snow]

It's not survive one hit to 1hp, its survive almost anything at 1hp until the buff runs out

[white shard]

Does anyone have graphics settings tweaks to run 120fps at 3440x1440p consistently in big cities? Not sure if there are some settings which take up a ton of resources for minor gains I can optimize

[teal orbit]

I get that you're invuln

I'm just wondering why he went invuln instead of swapping aggro

I might be misreading btw

[warm snow]

Cuz it's more efficient

[teal orbit]

it is?

[nimble pulsar]

Does anyone know of collectibles that I can buy from vendors to spend some gil so I am not at gil cap (free trial)?

[warm snow]

Save the swap for later so there's only one person that needs to be healed

[faint flare]

If you can Invuln multiple hits then it's less healers need to heal

[warm snow]

Or in this case bened

[acoustic thorn]

do you need green rarity dye for green rarity gear

[faint flare]

No
