[rugged flicker]

I'm actually somewhat surprised I don't see more people carrying around those level 50 shields at higher levels. I mean, that's around +10 to several stats you're getting there. People do overmelds for that kind of boost!

[glossy flare]

Because they just removed offhands for casters at that point

Every caster weapon is twohanded after lvl 50

[obsidian patio]

WHM/BLM shields were a holdover from 1.0

[rugged flicker]

Never played a mage before, wasn't aware there was change.

[cedar horizon]

I can afford phantasia easy. But like. I kinda want like multiple races of characters. Thats how I always played my MMOS xD

[terse grail]

mages with shields is actually BiS in bozja related areas fun fact

[rugged flicker]

Well not true, I did do red mage.

[obsidian patio]

i tested and shields don't seem to add any stats or block chance in bozja for BLM and WHM

[rugged flicker]

And blue mage, but just so I could get to the top of the Kugane Hostelry.

[obsidian patio]

I sit with a mob smacking me for a solid 2 minutes and never blocked

[glossy flare]

Cheater.

[rugged flicker]

I WANTED THOSE PAINTINGS, DAMMIT!

[terse grail]

huh interesting, nvm then i guess

[rugged flicker]

And doing that jump puzzle is one thing, but locking the paintings behind another wall of insanely difficult maneuvering after another patch?

[jade plover]

Hi, I have a question. What essences do you guys usually bring into Dalriada as a DPS and a Healer role?

[rugged flicker]

That's just a massive dick move.

[obsidian patio]

in terms of pure damage, DPS are usually Skirmisher or Beast + Lost Assassination

Healers are Aetherweaver for damage, Profane for more damage if other players can pick up the healing slack

[jade plover]

icic, thank you Wynne!

[rugged flicker]

Do you think fem Hrothgars will be introduced in a 6.X patch, or will they put it off until 7.0?

They talked as if it might be the former.

[naive ridge]

7.0 most likely

[obsidian patio]

Unknown. My personal assumption is a late 6.x patch

[naive ridge]

yeah late 6.x or 7.0

[outer mural]

my bet is also a late 6.x patch

[rugged flicker]

Whoops forgot.

No GIFs.

[outer mural]

it's likely they'll implement it in a smaller patch to both bolster content in addition to having less stuff for the team to ship at the same time so it's easier compared to if they did it in 7.0

[rugged flicker]

I hope they at least introduce Hrothgar NPC's in 7.0.

How many more Hrothgar with dead wives are we gonna have to meet? <_<

Which is just silly because you can easily just make those characters gay, like 80% of Hrothgar players are anyway. 😛

And no I'm not hating, I like me some Hrothgar dudes too. 😉

[outer mural]

not the place to discuss it really but yeah i agree

[harsh scaffold]

does anyone know if theres a way to use steam wallet for world transfer?

[rancid junco]

Will SDS Fenrir mount be faster than regular mount in Bozja if the person haven't bought any riding map?

[rugged flicker]

Don't you just love it when a mob decides you've wandered too far from someplace and wanders back to its spawn point.

[obsidian patio]

yes

[rugged flicker]

And even though you try to keep on re-engaging it...

It's like...

"Nah fam, I'm invulnerable now! I'mma just go back here and recover all my HP and lose any debuffs you put one me."

[rancid junco]

Aight

[ivory pewter]

hey i forget where do i go to get my lvl 80 job quest gear

[green grail]

gerolt guy in the tempest

south of the ondo cups aetheryte

[ivory pewter]

ty i think i found him i could not remember where that guy was

[modest drift]

guys, been using this alternative launcher for FFXIV

and it has a tab for plugins. Are they legal?

i always though, no

[naive ridge]

technically no. but its generally pretty safe, just don't talk about it in game

[modest drift]

sure, im not even into the DPS meter

[naive ridge]

because technically ACT is also not supposed to be used according to TOS

[modest drift]

soo... how do i install them? hehehe

[naive ridge]

i cant help you there

[modest drift]

ty anyway!

[terse grail]

technically that launcher isn't legal lol

[zenith halo]

how do i get rid of all these weapons? Do i sell them somewhere?

[terse grail]

you can sell them to any vendor

[zenith halo]

ah icic

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Help can anyone party me up and my friend

[analog gate]

are you both on free trial? might have better luck asking in limsa via say chat or something

[toxic kiln]

is there a good way to level up a job in single player?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup

[toxic kiln]

I'm in a remote school rn that has a bunch of old people who never used computers and the course is constantly stopping

[leaden ginkgo]

But weve been trying for an he looking for someone to party us up

[toxic kiln]

is there a place where I can go for efficient levelling that allows me to step away for extended periods?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone have issues where your mouse seemingly move your character?

[alpine shadow]

works as intended?

[leaden ginkgo]

I started getting this issue just today, pans my camera right up, and auto-walks me

[alpine shadow]

pressing both right and left click moves your char forward

[leaden ginkgo]

No its that

[alpine shadow]

hmm, not quite sure about what causing your issue

[sick lotus]

So I have 2 monitors, both 2560x1440, one of them is 60hz the other is a newer monitor which is 165hz. Obviously I want to play FF14 on the faster display.

I prefer to have the primary windows display be on my right, and the gaming display on the left. But I've noticed that whenever the slower monitor is set as the windows primary display, my FPS in final fantasy is locked at 60. If I set the faster monitor as the windows primary display, I can get up to 165.

Is this just a windows limitation, or is there something I can change to where it will not have an issue using the faster display at full speed if it's not set to primary?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like my WASD does not work, my character only walks backwards

[alpine shadow]

are you able to set which display the game should run on?

[rich gazelle]

Samurai question: why **Never use Meikyo Shisui on Shifu and Jinpu!
** during dungeon? isn't it good to get buff up early

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you have a controller plugged in?

[rich gazelle]

have been doing that quite often

[quiet acorn]

If the optimal Desynthesis of an item is 355 and my Desynthesis is 355.46 do i have a higher chance of getting rare items if my Desynthesis was 400 . Or do I just have to be above the threshold

[alpine shadow]

try disconnecting the steering wheel

[obsidian patio]

because you losing potency by not using them on Kasha/Gekko/Yukikaze for the Sen to use on Midare

[sick lotus]

I don't know how to tell the game specifically, I'm playing in borderless windowed mode and I just drag the launcher over to the faster display and open it

[rich gazelle]

oh sorry i'm talking about aoe

[leaden ginkgo]

Only a G29 steering wheel

[obsidian patio]

[rich gazelle]

not boss fights

that is from !faq samaoe

[obsidian patio]

Unsure then, if pulls happen often you technically never need to refresh your buffs between pulls with the single target combo

[rich gazelle]

boss fights, yes i always do proper rotations manually

[leaden ginkgo]

As Thaun said, try unplugging it. Game acts weird with anything like that.

[rich gazelle]

i normally use it at the start of dungeon to quickly get my buffs up

ok well maybe the difference won't be so important anyway during normal dungeon

thanks

[obsidian patio]

start of dungeon sounds pretty harmless then

[true flower]

what is the simplest dps class?

[rich gazelle]

ok

thanks

[obsidian patio]

Dancer, IMO

[true flower]

least buttons/simplest rotation

[obsidian patio]

in terms of classes you can start as, probably Archer

[rich gazelle]

i read somewhere red mage is good for casual players

i tried it and got kinda bored

[obsidian patio]

if you're fine with playing non-DPS, tanks and healers have fairly simple damage rotations

[true flower]

thanks!

[rich gazelle]

building up the black & white gauges to 80 takes very long

[fast talon]

machinist is pretty simple too if you have good enough ping for their burst phase. doesnt have rng either like dancer.

[alpine shadow]

it would really seem that this is a limitation, that it only works on the primary display

otherwise, attempt to run the game on fullscreen

[rich gazelle]

is machinist fun? i haven't tried it

maybe i'm not suitable for spellcastings

[fast talon]

its visually satisfying

[rich gazelle]

waiting 2.5 secs each

[fast talon]

i can say that much

[rich gazelle]

ooh

i started as monk, got bored with it too

[fast talon]

and can get kinda hectic/button mashy during its burst phase since its a tight window

[rich gazelle]

very few skills to use

i mean very few variations i guess compared to samurai

[quiet acorn]

What level ?

[rich gazelle]

70

most of the skills are buff

and among the 3 stances, i read we should just stick to fire

so the other two are unused

[leaden ginkgo]

Seems that solved it @leaden ginkgo Damn, who knew you could play the game with a wheel and pedals

[fast talon]

i guess technically they're still controllers, computer/software doesnt realy care how they look physically its still read the same way as any other input

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I guess so.

[fast talon]

and shit if people can play dark souls with a DDR pad, why not xiv with a steering wheel

[leaden ginkgo]

Glad to hear that fixed it.

Some games just seem to pick up any controller and roll with it. Some won't recognize certain ones to the point you have to basically emulate them (looking at you castle crashers)

[placid fern]

How do you do the Level 52 Summoner Quest?
I'm Level 53 now and it just tells me to talk to the same person I normally do to unlock my level 52 Summoner Skill, but they don't have any quests for me?

[obsidian patio]

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

[dusty girder]

Hey guys i've been away from the game a while now so i missed a lot of patches . can someone tell me which are the optimal grind instances for shb relics rn?

[obsidian patio]

If you are in HW leveling story, check your MSQ tracker to see where the next job quest is.

[placid fern]

Gotcha! That makes sense. Thank you!

[plucky totem]

Is there anywat to turn off glam? Kinda got stale lookin at it and want to use the actual armor im wearing

[obsidian patio]

use glamour dispellers on the item to remove the glamour

[plucky totem]

Oof can i get it the same place i get glam prism? I.e which company u chose with

[obsidian patio]

yes, but you can also buy dispellers from other NPCs

Bango Zango by the Limsa Lominsa Aetheryte sells them

[obsidian patio]

Yellow/Red/Blue/Green square Memories: Bozjan Southern Front with cluster farm parties.
Grey crystal Memories: Castrum Lacus Litore or ARR 24-man raids.
Purple/Yellow crystal Memories: HW/SB 24-mans. Void Ark and Rabanastre are probably the fastest.
Timeworn Artifact: Delubrum Reginae
30x6 grind: I personally recommend Zadnor for the ones that come from skirmishes, and the HW/SB/SHB raids for the ones that come from CEs.
Raw Emotions: Delubrum Reginae and Dalriada

[plucky totem]

Cool thanks

[fast talon]

and just to save you some time in case you end up dispelling your glam one by one, the glamour plate window has an option to dispel your glam as well all at once or from select pieces.

[smoky void]

anyone who can help with behold now behemoth on exodus server in central coerthas

[dusty girder]

oh nice thanks. so we can farm two steps at the same time with DR

[obsidian patio]

yep

so you can keep a weapon on the i515 step (Timeworn) and another on the i535 step (Emotions) and do both of them at once

[dusty girder]

all right got it thanks !

[pale nimbus]

Does the Server Info UI element, which displays Sending and Receiving data, ever show any other info during play?—if, for example, your connection is suddenly poor, does it give notice? Would choose to disable it if not particularly useful.

[obsidian patio]

pretty sure not

[fast talon]

while DR has the benefit of doing 2 for 1 for two steps, if youre only doing one relic isnt it faster to spam lvl 70 dungeons, at least the short ones, for raw emotions?

[pale nimbus]

Ok, thanks.

[storm kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsGniv6Nn6c whats the punching emote shown in this video?

punching/fraying their arms

[oak ice]

Pretty sure it's one of the power ranger ones, but can't tell you which one

[storm kelp]

oic! yup i see it now

[obsidian patio]

if you can manage speedrun groups for Delubrum in PF, you can clear it in around 20-25 minutes for 2 emotions

with good groups getting close to 15 minutes

[fast talon]

i suppose thats fair

[storm kelp]

i;ve seen speedrun DRs parties reach 1mil dps

each sam doing 40-50k

[fast talon]

i just kept sapmming drowned city of skalla cuz i also wanted that coat of casting

didnt drop not even once

15 runs

desire sensor is real.

[sullen junco]

how do i get to Norvrandt?

[leaden ginkgo]

MSQ for shadowbringers

[sullen junco]

what's that? :c

[leaden ginkgo]

During the course of the shadowbringers expansion, you get there

[glossy flare]

You need to advance the main story quests

until you get to the latest expansion, Shadowbringers

It's linear so you can't just skip to it by having a high level or something.

[sullen junco]

i bought a story scenario skip

but i don't know how to get there to continue my story

[glossy flare]

Then you should just do some main story

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/4dgmnpH.jpg

[glossy flare]

The very first quest in ShB takes you to Norvrandt

[obsidian patio]

If you left norvrandt before attuning to the aetheryte in the crystarium, go back to the Syrcus Trench via the boat near Saint Coinach's Find and talk to one of the scientists there.

[sullen junco]

ah that's probably it, will try that out, thanks!

[shy kayak]

hey guys, is there any hud options that shows the debuffs/dots on the mobs besides the target bar?

[glossy flare]

If you select the target bar in the hud layout you can choose to split it into parts, including the debuffs

which you can then position wherever you want

[shy kayak]

oh nice thanks ill play with that

can you make the bars thicker?

[glossy flare]

you can adjust the scaling so they are bigger in general

[leaden ginkgo]

Under current UI element, click the gear next to the bar

[shy kayak]

i kinda want them thciker but shorter if that makes sense

[glossy flare]

hm no, that's not possible

[shy kayak]

no worries, thanks for conifrming

[glossy flare]

there's just a general scale option

[halcyon wigeon]

hey everyone

i'm trying to download the game but on the launcher it keeps freezing

at 1.12%

the download speed is about 3mb/s and it slows down all the way to 0mb/s

i've tried turning off my firewall, and reinstalling the game on a different drive

no luck

[copper plaza]

Is it just me or PoTD doesn't give that much XP?

I get like 1 level per 10 levels of PoTD or is it because I'm on lower levels right niow

[naive ridge]

i think it gives a comparable amount?

[leaden ginkgo]

Try asking in #technology-discussion

[naive ridge]

if it gives less, its probably cause its faster to run one instance of potd than a dungeon

[green grail]

51-60 is the set you want to run for exp

[gritty oracle]

Only suncattes have slit pupils, right?

[naive ridge]

yea

[wide oxide]

how do i become a paladin? i am GLD lvl 30, and i completed all the GLD quest as the wiki say
but i dont have the option of becoming a paladin
must my MSQ be of certain level? i am only at lvl 17 MSG

MSQ

[obsidian patio]

yes

[copper plaza]

I see

[ruby compass]

if i buy the mac license now but plan to switch to windows in future and I buy again the windows license, will my account and characters and all that remain and be okai?

[obsidian patio]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[obsidian patio]

@wide oxide

[wide oxide]

oh i see.

[amber echo]

where is the setting to put dungeon drops in inventory instead of armory?

[leaden ginkgo]

Character config -> Item settings

[zenith halo]

How many MSQ do i have left to get the lvl 60 tombstone gear

[green grail]

you're at 53 and you need 60 so, quite a lot

[zenith halo]

welp

Might hit lvl 70 by then xD

[tired kestrel]

just counted - 57 quests 😛

[obsidian patio]

I think I count 44 quests or so to reach Idyllshire

[zenith halo]

... welp im gonna be doing only MSQ for a couple of days lol

[obsidian patio]

since you only need access to idyllshire and not completion of 3.0 MSQ, unlike 4.0 and 5.0 tomestone gear

[green grail]

you can't do any content that would require the 60 tome gear without completing the 60 msq anyways so not like it matters

[zenith halo]

icic. ty

[tired kestrel]

oh I forgot this, nice. more like 40-something then yeah.

[zenith halo]

40? Hmm not as bad as i thought

I was thinking 50+ like Zaia said lol

[tired kestrel]

yeah, you'll get to the city you need to be in around MSQ level 58

[runic cairn]

being able to spend your poetics on gear upgrades earlier means less throwing them away on irrelevant trash just to avoid cap

[jade quartz]

Just let them cap

Poetics are handed out like candy

[zenith halo]

aight. ty

[jade quartz]

Don’t worry too much about it

[runic cairn]

like hell i'm doing msq roulette for exp and not taking the stones too

[jade quartz]

Or spend them on stuff to sell

[runic cairn]

i mean i'm past the point of needing poetics for literally anything until endwalker drops

i just don't like that they locked the vendors behind story completion.

[jade plover]

Hi, what are some of the fastest lv 70 dungeons that one can run for raw emotions?
(Considering at this hour for me, its difficult to get enough people for Dal)
Thank you.

[north viper]

Can someone please tell me how to get a mini second floor on small house?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi I have a question

[leaden ginkgo]

Lofts, and furniture floating

IF I get the game on Final Fantasy forum and my partner gets it on steam, we can still play right? 😮

Yes

[visual yacht]

as someone whos barely touched PotD and doesnt have a premade group to run it with, how impossible would it be for me to get a padjali/kinna weapon?

[north viper]

lofts?

[leaden ginkgo]

Not at all. I've been able to max out both weapon and armor twice with just matched groups

[obsidian patio]

!iglam wooden loft

[zinc orbit]

Command Error!

If you believe this error to be a bug please report to the Kupo Bot Support Discord: http://discord.gg/4dpPFcWURA

[leaden ginkgo]

Lofts are a furniture item that can attach to walls. Learning how to float furniture is how you get most things on them

[obsidian patio]

thanks kupo

it's basically a wall mounted platform that acts as a table for tabletop furniture

[naive ridge]

Is there a way to tab target non enemy npcs?

[visual yacht]

ty ty, any tips? i have 0 idea what im getting myself into

[north viper]

Thank you very much

[leaden ginkgo]

Silver and blue chests have upgrades in them. At one point you can only get a raise in level from 51+. I think that's around when your weapon changes

Other than that, it's just a free for all, kill everything and get to the portal. You'll pick up on what to do pretty quick

god this game is so confusing to buy

[wet zinc]

Where do I get Dimond dust? Drop from Shiva extreme or market (I don’t have access to that since I’m using the trail atm), any other source (I need 5 to upgrade the ice daggers- I want it for glamour).
Thanks to any who answer.

*Diamond

[obsidian patio]

shiva extreme

[leaden ginkgo]

can someone help me buy the game? 😦

[inland fox]

what exactly does blind do? make them miss aa and spells?

[leaden ginkgo]

whats more popular zadnor or bozja

[inland fox]

bozja

[alpine shadow]

it lowers accuracy yes, and some mechanics like eye mechanics can be mitigated with blind

[inland fox]

ty

[floral snow]

So just to be clear, the Orchestrion doesn't change music anywhere other than the room/house in which it's placed?

[alpine shadow]

yes

[floral snow]

So like, I couldn't change my default battle theme?

[leaden ginkgo]

really ?

[alpine shadow]

no

[inland fox]

no

[floral snow]

Dang

[runic cairn]

sadly no

[inland fox]

yes

[inland fox]

i think so

[leaden ginkgo]

....

[inland fox]

sorry those guys dont know how to use 'reply' xD

[alpine shadow]

zadnor and bozja are the same relic content, bozja is the older one, zadnor is the newer one

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks .

[alpine shadow]

zadnor if you want to do your relic weapon for late tier

bozja for early tier

[wet zinc]

Trying again haha.

Ohhhhhh

Gotcha

Cool.

Cheers mate

[dreamy hazel]

im thinking of trying out machinist but i heard its kinda bad at high ping. my ping is usually around 120~ ish and 100~ on good days and like is that good enough to play with? cuz i heard the combos are quite tight and i don't wanna have low dps

[obsidian patio]

I play with around 80 and generally have no problem

[dreamy hazel]

it shouldn't make much of a difference that my ping is like a bit higher than 80 right?

the class looks fun though

[wet zinc]

Ok. So when I want to open a Miscellany (item box), I this case a weapon coffer. And it tells me I can open because I already have a unique weapon of that type, does that means I have the EXACT same weapon or another weapon that is in the same level/uniqueness?

*Can’t

[green grail]

you have the same unique item that the coffer gives

it's unique so you can't have 2, so you can't open the coffer

[wet zinc]

So I already have that exact weapon..right? So I can discard the weapon coffer?

Not going to use it for other classes

[green timber]

Morning,

I am trying to setup a Free Company for my friends who are joining the game later, but i need 3 people to set it up. What would be the easiest way to get a group just to sign the Petition?

pretty sure it's modded but try #glamour-discussion for confirmation

[half sinew]

Is there any way to double rez as a healer? Or is it just cast swiftcast and then slow rez the other person

yes, on the second part

no, on the first part, you can't insta double rez

ty ^^I thought i was missing something because some healers seem to rez super fast

[alpine shadow]

if they have a rdm in their party, that might be why

and or a summoner

rdm can insta-rez every time as long as their mp isn't drained

[half sinew]

That makes more sense, I thought I was just doing it the wrong way haha and missing a whole ability

ohhhh

[alpine shadow]

!action verraise

[zinc orbit]

**Verraise** : lvl 64 RDM (2400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(10.0 second base cast time)

Resurrects target to a weakened state.

Powered by XIVAPI

[half sinew]

Thank you!

[nocturne wyvern]

A red mage can double raise in the span of 4 gcd’s. Fastest I can think of assuming it’s just the one.

[flint tiger]

how do i equip the soul of dark kngiht

[alpine shadow]

there is a soul stone in the bottom right corner of the gear ui

select that, and you can equip the job stone

[nocturne wyvern]

Change your job to drk by equipping the weapon. That should equip the stone automatically.

[alpine shadow]

but for drk, it should automatically be equipped, by changing the weapon to drk

[flint tiger]

when i right click there is no equip button

[nocturne wyvern]

You have to equip the Drk weapon.

That will put the stone on.

[prisma hare]

Oh didn't see that # thanks

[nocturne wyvern]

It would make sense to change jobs by changing stones but in this game it’s done by changing weapons.

[gusty hound]

Heya, am not quite sure where to put it, but i am having a serious graphics issue since yesterday.
It only affects diamond weapon ex and i do NOT see a single effect, not even on his back or the arrows below the players as soon as p3 starts. I do see the first numbers but i do not see the second and i do not see the towers anymore. Plus i already checked everything in graphics options but it did not help at all. Anybody has any idea?

[wet zinc]

Just to be clear diamond dust is only from shiva extreme and not from shiva hard. Right?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

Fortunately it’s one of the easiest extremes to clear since you can just burn her down.

[wet zinc]

Yea

[glossy flare]

You can also just solo her at 80

very easy to farm

[wet zinc]

But the gueu for it it insane. And not correct parties for it.

[covert marlin]

is there anything that I can do with unused potion? desynth?

[zinc orbit]

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/A89hsAL.png

[glossy flare]

people don't queue for extremes

[obsidian patio]

of course you can't solo it if you're not a high enough level

[glossy flare]

Anything extreme, savage or ultimate people do not queue for via duty finder because the difficulty generally spikes and clearing it with randos is less likely

So people use party finder instead

(However I have never seen a pf listing for an ultimate, cause those are even harder)

[wet zinc]

Oh ok

[glossy flare]

If you lack the level you could still try and open a pf and maybe higher level people will help you

[wet zinc]

Free trail, I can’t start a party…rip

[obsidian patio]

then you'll have to hope someone else makes a shiva extreme party in PF :\

[wet zinc]

Free trial

[glossy flare]

you can join pf listings

[wet zinc]

Yep

[glossy flare]

you just can't make them on trial

but a shiva extreme listing is very unlikely cause it's so easy to do solo

[nocturne wyvern]

Only other solution I could think of is asking someone here that’s on your data center and see if they’re willing to carry. But I understand not everyone is in to that.

[sweet wave]

I've just dinged 50 on my first gathering job (miner), I haven't upgraded my gear in a while, where should I go to get good gathering gear?

[feral nebula]

does it take long to level up a free company until we have max exp buff? never did anything free company related, so im trying to find out if is worthy to create one for me and my friends, or join one already having buffs

[dusk frigate]

Question my CC will expire next month, where and how can i update new CC details?

[naive horizon]

You could buy gear in Ishgard which would do for now. Or I think you can get some decent gear at your GC as well.

[sweet wave]

Thank you 😄

[nocturne wyvern]

It doesn’t take long if you spam turn ins for dungeon gear.

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe that’s in the mog station subscription tab.

[dusk frigate]

Allrighty will have a look there thank you ❤️

[nimble bay]

wtf is this mount

and how do I get one

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh that.

So every ex primal drops a mount, if you collect all the mounts in a set you get a special pinnacle mount.

That one is from obtaining all the mounts from the shb ex primals.

[nimble bay]

what is an ex primal

[feral nebula]

extreme trials

[nocturne wyvern]

Yep.

[green grail]

endgame fights

[nimble bay]

ah

I saw this on a stream and was like o.o

im only level 18

so

ways to go

[limber parcel]

Will Sage and Reaper be available before Endwalkers release, so we're able to level them to 80 ready for the expansion?

[nocturne wyvern]

You can get gear from the opening Ishgard quests if you’re done with arrow.

No.

[warped meadow]

Does Medica II apply regen in an area around my target or the area around me?

[nocturne wyvern]

@limber parcel Also, I wish.

[nocturne wyvern]

Though I’ve argued that the new jobs should start at the level cap so we could just jump right in to new content as them.

[nocturne wyvern]

The spacing on the aoe is pretty generous though so you should be fine.

[pale nimbus]

Do all mounts handle (the sense of weight, how they turn, etc.) the same? Meaning are they all functionally the same in terms of movement (besides some not being able to fly)?

[alpine shadow]

all mounts can fly, and they practically have the same movement speed

[pale nimbus]

Oh okay! Where there is a speed difference, is it minor?

[alpine shadow]

no speed difference

[fiery pagoda]

what do you get for finishing ultimates like TEA?

[golden monolith]

If I redeem 2 codes from both DLCs, will my 30 days period expire? The one I've got from buying the game. People on reddit keep saying be careful with redeeming codes and I don't really understand how it works

[fiery pagoda]

im talking in objective sense

but thaun already gave me an answer

[serene jungle]

Hello! Some Eureka question? Are you able to do that vom 60-70 to level with it? Like with bozja?

[green grail]

no

[astral edge]

im not really sure how to use sharpcast

is it best to just weave it in after a fire or thunder proc to gain an extra fire 3?

or should i do something like sharpcasting at the start of a fight before i do thunder so i can get a thunder proc

but that seems kinda useless to me cause id be doing thunder within umbral ice anyways, and i need to still wait a bit of time before i can get full mana

theres always like atleast 1.5 gcd worth of time before i regain full mana

which means my umbral rotation usually is just blizz 3 > thun 3 > fire 3

so wouldnt sharpcast weaved after a proc to gain an extra firestarter be better?

[tight mango]

Can you glamour on things your class cannot use?

[green grail]

no, you can only use things you're able to equip

[barren granite]

is there a way to tell how many people are in a zone ?

like /who all ?

[astral edge]

is it better to use sharpcast on fire or thunder procs

[green grail]

i guess it makes more sense at higher levels but just try to weave it whenever you have a weave window, extra procs = extra damage, a f3 proc can extend your fire phase for more movement and more fire4s, and a t3 proc can also be used for movement and to refresh/maintain thunder for free

[plucky totem]

Oh christ

Guys major prob

I bought my game with aud

And it says eu

I havent unlock anything the code yet

[sullen junco]

Hi, I bought a boost to 70 for RDM and i want to try dancer, although I don't have any level 60 gear, can I buy it anywhere perhaps? I have 1mil gil

[plucky totem]

Well gonna request for a refund

[bright nebula]

Oh no, guess i'll have to join Immortal Flames then to match, thank you!

[flint tiger]

my registered region is The americas and i play in japan server do i need to change it when i buy the game

[outer mural]

no

[twilit arch]

your registered region has no bearing on which servers you can play on (barring China/Korea as they have their own specific servers)

all it dictates is which region you need to buy the game for

[outer mural]

you can play on any data center regardless of account besides the exception stated above

[twilit arch]

so you need an NA version of the game, because your region is the americas

[outer mural]

aye, but that does not stop you from playing on the JP or EU datacenter

[plucky totem]

I mean

When i boughr the game

I used aud

Which when i got the email for my purchase i only foind out it said dquare enix europe store

[sweet wave]

What is the best thing to buy to turn my seals into gil?

I know it used to be coke

but now its something else?

so it means if i buy the game i can still continue to play my character in jp server

pentamelded aesthete's is pretty much necessary if you wanna do it without wasting a bunch of resources due to bad RNG

[thorny urchin]

this is the only FFXIV i have on steam no complete edition(if thats available on steam?) if for example i played here 1st then decided to pay for subscription at the launcher ones, will i be able to transfer my steam accnt to square enix launcher? (my download speed is faster on steam das why i wanna give it a shot it 1st there)

[limber parcel]

you can't transfer the account

[outer mural]

1. yes it's on steam
2. you can't transfer from steam to standalone

[thorny urchin]

ohh ok tnx

[outer mural]

the only intermingling of the two is if you transfer from standalone free trial to steam standard or complete edition

this is becuase steam gives you a code that you can enter into your free trial account to upgrade it into a steam mogstation account

this is the only way to transfer and it's permanent

otherwise just pick one and commit to it

[dim parrot]

is monk more fun than dragoon?

[limber parcel]

subjective

I personally can't stand all the positionals on monk

[leaden ginkgo]

just unlocked my first beast tribe the ixal, is there any way to teleport in there like using an item or something? i know the aetheryte is near but seems a bit tedious to walk that every day

[jade quartz]

No

[limber parcel]

Nope, the aetheryte is the closest option you have

[outer mural]

nope

[jade quartz]

Unlock flight by completing arr base MSQ

[outer mural]

it's terrible feeling when you do it every day but hang in there

and yeah get flight

[jade quartz]

Then you’ll have an easier time

[limpid glacier]

how do I get there

[outer mural]

very subjective but monk is most certainly faster and has a lot of positionals so it's moving pretty frequently

dragoon has a lot more ogcd management and is extremely rigid

[outer mural]

doman enclave -> walk to the docks -> boat dude

after you unlock gangos you can tp there via the aetheryte in doman enclave

[dim parrot]

fuk

what does positional mean

[young epoch]

Hey I'm migrating from wow to xiv should I do the free trial first or jump back in on one of my inactive subs?

[icy steppe]

hey guys i have to pick 1 of 3 factions, but what are the differences?

[sweet wave]

@dim parrot A positional is extra damage for hitting a enemy in a certain location, typically from behind

[twilit arch]

certain melee skills have bonuses tied to hitting a skill either on the flank or rear

!action twin snakes

[zinc orbit]

**Twin Snakes** : lvl 18 PGL MNK (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 230.
260 when executed from a target's flank.
Can only be executed when in raptor form.
Additional Effect: Increases damage by 10%
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Changes form to coeurl
Duration: 15s

@young epoch if you dont want to spend any money then you have to create a new account and start from scratch, but I think there is a free sign in event going on right now if you haven't played on a subbed account for over three months

[dim parrot]

are they just damage bonuses or like proper passive proc chance from hitting positionals

like light up skills type thing

[timber depot]

@young epoch im doing the free trail personally if you arent trying to play with friends(unless the have the paid for version) it to me honestly is nice cause dont have pay for certain stuff i dont need or want atm

[twilit arch]

for sam, you get more kenki when you hit your positionals which ultimately translates into damage

[sweet wave]

@icy steppe There is virtually zero difference between the factions, you get access to a few different cosmetics and thats it really

[plucky totem]

Guys My se acc says the americas , bought the game with aud, got the email coming from the EUROPE se store. Jm fucked arent i

[twilit arch]

for the other melees its more potency

[icy steppe]

ah okay ty where can i see the cosmetics? I cant find anything on google

[hot eagle]

yes you need a us code, or you start over with a new eu account

[sweet wave]

I'm not sure, its basically red, yellow, and black version of the guard uniform, and some different house ornaments

How do I know if I want EU or US version?

[outer mural]

1. look at the buy guide just posted
2. have a mogstation account which you would need to make to purchase it in the first place
3. standard + shadowbringers are the two components you need to purchase the full game, as listed in the guide. complete has both
4. no, once you use the code it starts ticking. you can save the code or purchase to be used for later
5. it's on sale right now for complete edition, upcoming one likely won't be on sale for a while
6. nope just enter a code in, you'll keep your existing character data and such. you will have to download the expansions you do not have though
7. nah

@glossy flare @north root Thanks will look up

you want EU or US depending on which country you live in

thank you @outer mural !

yeah but what is starter edition?
so there are three types.
Standard + Shadowbringers
Complete
Starter Edition

What's the difference? Something I need to be aware of?

[sleek needle]

Starter + shadowbringer = complete

[outer mural]

starter edition is 20 usd normally
it includes 30 days of sub, upgrades your account to remove the free trial restrictions, but since you are subbed you will need to start paying that
it is necessary to ahve this

shadowbringers is 40 bucks. it's the expansions you need

complete is both

you will need both

[sleek needle]

Yes

[flat basalt]

Ok, and I don't need the Collectors edition?

[north root]

@flat basalt i'm a steam user but i bought it direct via my Square Enix Account, and my experience was rather painless. Watch that vid tho, it goes over diffirent game types

[sleek needle]

Only if you want the extra items

But no, not needed

[outer mural]

it's extra goodie items (that are honestly overpriced as shit for the colletor's upgrade)

so no you don't ned them unless you're DYING for that pre-order mount

[flat basalt]

I am not :)

Thanks!

Will watch video and then make a decision :/

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.

you can buy collecot'rs edition upgrades individually as a service on mogstation

[desert bridge]

1. What % of the games content is available to f2p players?
2. How many hours do people need to complete it?

[outer mural]

you will always have access to it if you pay

[outer mural]

50% since you have 2 expansions

time to complete is entirely dependent on the person

[flat basalt]

Which is cheaper?
Starter + Shadowbringers
or
Complete edition?

[sleek needle]

Uh yes, I was asking outside of it, it won't work right?

[untold path]

well, that didn't help much, what are options to play together ?

[outer mural]

what do you mean

[sleek needle]

The complete collectors bundle is 30 usd

[flat basalt]

It took me two weeks to reach the first expansion of 5 days a week of playing for 2-3 hours.

[sleek needle]

(or eur can't rememberl

[outer mural]

make it on the same datacenter, world doesn't matter unless you really care about FC (guilds), marriage, or owning the same house,

[sleek needle]

But as I already own the game

I wouldn't be able to use it right?

[outer mural]

if you're on aether, have your friend make any on aether unless you need ot be on the same world for the reasons is stated above

[outer mural]

oh i see, i do not think so then

as you would be redeeming something you already have as part of it

[sleek needle]

Ya thought so

[outer mural]

they are the same price as they are the same thing

[outer mural]

crafting more items

you make, not destroy

at least as a crafter

[outer mural]

~~ on both sides

pepperoni

[outer mural]

also to be clear i sent the serverlock thing to explain why your friend can't

there is no workaround besides waiting

[outer mural]

as stated above you don't need to care about worlds unless you really need to be in the same FC or want to marry them

no jobs have specs, gladiator is a tank

but all tanks do DPS and have a DPS rotation while also tanking good

Wanted to play gladiator, it looks cool
but am new, perhaps i should not start as a tank

[nimble bay]

Ohhh ok im only 18 with glad

but seemed cool

ty

[outer mural]

it's okay to start as a tank

if you have issues or want tips then ask here

but yeah if you're still not confident going as DPS is also fine

[nocturne wyvern]

Every class has one role and only one role. The entire system is very structured with strong archetypes.

[open coral]

The first three dungeons that you do are designed to help you get used to tanking for a group.

I wouldn't worry too much about being new and starting as a tank.

[twilit patrol]

guys is there a zone with a dummy in which i can reset cds of my skills to train my rotations?

[flat basalt]

Oh shit

[versed fossil]

my friend is on Shiva (EU), but that server seems full

can we still play together

[flat basalt]

Does it matter if I buy US version of the game and I have a EU account?

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe it does actually.

[nocturne wyvern]

If you’re on the same data center yes. If you want to get on his server you need to wait until off peak hours. Like 2-3 in the morning is usually safe.

[versed fossil]

also is there a way to check which server has best (low) latency for me? I play from India

[twilit patrol]

if u mean on PSN or something like that then yes, i wanted to do the same and people reported it creates issues

[flat basalt]

aaaaaaaaaah noooooo

[hoary crypt]

Is it worth subscription if you really love the game?

[flat basalt]

damnit

[nocturne wyvern]

I think so, yes.

[flat basalt]

How do I check if I am on EU or US account?

[nocturne wyvern]

That I don’t know.

[hoary crypt]

It is like 15$ right? Do you have to buy all the expansions?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes and eventually yes.

You can play the free trial to level 60 which is a substantial amount of content.

But to go past that you’ll need to buy.

[flat basalt]

@outer mural

[outer mural]

BRITISH

[flat basalt]

I bought the US version, will that work?

[open coral]

If you have an NA account, then yes.

[hoary crypt]

Ok cool. So no reason to buy till then. I thought it would be cool to join a FC. I don't know anyone

[outer mural]

it should, i don't think it's going to be a stickler

[flat basalt]

@open coral How do I check?

[twilit arch]

your region is Europe

[open coral]

You have an EU account

[outer mural]

well it says it right there

you're in the UK

you're EU

[flat basalt]

Ok that's the mark

[twilit arch]

you need an EU version of the game

[deep meteor]

do you still report to the pugilist guild as monk? i have a 35 ability i'm trying to learn but don't see it

[open coral]

"Your registered region"

[outer mural]

wait you already bought it?

[flat basalt]

Oh dang, I bought the US version ^^

[outer mural]

or you're going to

oh

yeah get that refund asap

[nocturne wyvern]

No it’s a different area.

[flat basalt]

Ok, thanks!

I will!

[open coral]

You have a new job trainer. I think he should be in the Miner's Guild?

[faint flare]

Click the quest under the main scenario tracker

[nocturne wyvern]

I mean that’s one option yeah. Might be lonely though.

[faint flare]

That's your job quests

[deep meteor]

ahh gotcha, by the goldsmith guild for some reason

[faint flare]

They always move when you get the job

And again for expansions

[brittle valve]

anyone can tell me how to get Paramour's Pendant or band of eternal passion pls? I tried going to the recompense officer but it doesnt work. And how do I get demonic set and bunny set?

[faint flare]

The bands are for weddings

[nocturne wyvern]

Bunny set is gold saucer.

[faint flare]

Which you buy with money

[open coral]

The first two I think are tied to certain versions of the Ceremony of Eternal Bondin.

Demonic set is a cash shop item

[outer mural]

the recompense officer only gives you taht stuff if you already had it and lost it as well

so unless you had already obtained and done the things above, you're not getting anything from him

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh the cash shop demonic set. I forgot about that. The armor set from WoD is called “Demon” as well.

[brittle valve]

what should i do if i want the band but not marrying?

[outer mural]

you can marry a friend and then just divorce them immediately

you must marry someone to get it but you don't have to really care about the consequences of marriage if you arrange it with someone

like a green card

[nocturne wyvern]

The paramour friend was a Valentine’s Day item I think.

[flat basalt]

I want to marry a cat boy, is that possible? I am Human male. :D

[outer mural]

yes

[nocturne wyvern]

Shouldn’t that be cash shop?

[flat basalt]

Niceeeeee

[outer mural]

gay interracial marriage is in the game

[flat basalt]

Hell yeah dude

Just like IRL

[nocturne wyvern]

My wife plays a lalafell and I play an elezen. She wanted us to get married as that. >_>

[outer mural]

can't believe they implemented gay catboys irl

jokes aside yeah that is an option

[proven wing]

it's region locked irl :/

[flat basalt]

Haha, nice euphemism

[nocturne wyvern]

@brittle valve I just checked. The pendant is a cash shop item.

It was from a Valentine’s Day event, event rewards you miss end up there if you weren’t around the first time it happened.

Same with the band by the looks of it.

[open coral]

The band is Ceremony of Eternal Bonding - wedding.

While that is technically a cash shop feature, it was never a seasonal event reward.

[nocturne wyvern]

No it’s not.

The band of is the silver heart necklace.

[outer mural]

the pendant and the band are separate items yeah

[nocturne wyvern]

You’re think of the band of eternal promise.

[gritty lynx]

For Whitemage, is Holy the best way to deal with dungeon mobs at Lv. 50?

[open coral]

Yes

[nocturne wyvern]

For aoe yes.

[outer mural]

if there are 2 adds at level 50, use holy

[faint flare]

It's the best way to deal with mobs forever

[open coral]

Holy should be used for 2+ enemies at all times.

[nocturne wyvern]

Don’t holy a single target though.

[gritty lynx]

Ohh, okay then

[outer mural]

if you do the math, you'll notice that holy will do more damage at 2 mobs than a stone will do

[faint flare]

Just casually give your tank hallowed ground every pull

[outer mural]

so always use it when there is more than one target in a dungeon

[faint flare]

And do damage

Seemsgood.jpg

[outer mural]

yeah it's an insane ability

:stun:

[solar ice]

What does FC standing do?

[nocturne wyvern]

Nothing.

[solar ice]

Anything?

[faint flare]

Nope

[solar ice]

What is the point lol

[outer marsh]

free company

[faint flare]

Nothing

Just cause

[nocturne wyvern]

Bragging rights?

[outer mural]

it's for flavor

[nimble bay]

whatrs the difference between the healer jobs?

[outer mural]

white mage is your good ol classic direct healer with no gimmicks
scholar has a pet that heals along with different resource management
astrologian uses cards to boost everyone elses' damage in exchange for having lower personal damage compared to the others, along with versatile healing tools

[nocturne wyvern]

White mage is very straightforward, you push a button and it does the thing.

Scholar creates shields and has a pet.

Astro can do shields or do hots and can draw tarot cards.

[faint flare]

And sage SHOOTS LASERS

[outer mural]

there's way more nuance when you look at them from an optimization and efficiency standpoint though

so take it with a grain of salt on if it sounds like the job you'll like

[agile laurel]

White mage has no gimmicks, SCH focuses more on resource management and off-global abilities, astrologian has a simpler healing kit but an arcana card system to buff allies which has to be managed

[nimble bay]

ooooo thats interesting

[agile laurel]

Technically some focus on heals and some focus on shields but that doesn't amount to much

[nimble bay]

thats cool

[fallow snow]

I can't find the quest archers anthem,I did the bards intro quest it says on google south shroud but when I look on map the quest isn't there

[agile laurel]

have you equipped bard

[open coral]

What level are you as ARC?

[faint flare]

Click the quest under the main scenario tracker

And equip the soul stone

[fallow snow]

35

[open coral]

And have you equipped the BRD job stone?

[fallow snow]

yes.

[thick dome]

When trying to improve at a particular class should you stick to one job?

[open coral]

Did you do all of the ARC quests?

[fallow snow]

yes.

there is no quests at the arch guild

[faint flare]

Cause it's not there anymore

[open coral]

If you teleport to Quarrymill, do you see a quest icon on your map ?

[faint flare]

Click the quest under the main scenario tracker

That's your job quest

[fallow snow]

that's where the issue is.

[outer mural]

i'm not undestanding the question

do you mean 'if i wanna get good at casters in general, should i say as red maage' as an example

[open coral]

Should be about halfway between Quarrymill and Buscarron's Druthers

[agile laurel]

if there is no quest under the main scenario tracker while you have Bard equipped

you do not have a job quest available to do. At all

[south flower]

I’m in the HW relic quest line, but not at the crystal sand stage yet. Am I misreading this, or can I just buy it with battle and field demimateria? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ulan/Crystal_Sand_Exchange

I can’t see the vendor yet so I can’t check myself

[thick dome]

Yeah exactly

[flat basalt]

OK BOYS

[outer mural]

all of these options are viable ways to obtain crystal sand yes

[south flower]

I’m just debating whether to level FSH to farm gathering scripts or not

[flat basalt]

I bought the EU for 16 euo

[agile laurel]

Crystal sand requires exchanging various items of your choice to obtain it

ANY option is viable

some are easier than others

[south flower]

Ok so I can just buy it… thanks @outer mural @agile laurel

[outer lodge]

Hi is this the right place to ask for help learning black mage? Lol

[flat basalt]

Am I gonna get a code?

[agile laurel]

go ahead and ask questions, but

[open coral]

You should get the code in your email. yes.

[agile laurel]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/uQGsRLE.png

[faint flare]

Also look at weskalber on YouTube for levelling rotations

[dreamy hazel]

what does this mean

[nimble bay]

Gold Saucer is just gambling right

[faint flare]

Mini games

For cosmetics

[hoary veldt]

Where do i get wind shards?

[agile laurel]

Broadly. There's Triple Triad, fashion report, minigames, trad mahjong

[outer lodge]

I made a mistake of quickly boosting black mage because the leveling was kind of boring but I regretted it just about instantly because I have no idea what im doing (I currently have leveled sch/smn paladin and drg up to 50+ only boosted BLM to quickly get explosions)

[faint flare]

Gather them

[outer mural]

i would say yes generally though not everything will be exactly transferable
some classes just play differently

for example, red mage has cast times but the movement you have on red mage is entirely different from black mage
but generally being used to cast times will make you a better caster regardless on how differently they play yeah

same idea goes for tanks, melee, ranged and healers
be it uptime, greeding, healing optimziation, etc, sticking to the same ob of a certain role will improve you at other jobs in that role in some ways

[hoary veldt]

from where?

how?

[stray dawn]

not entirely, some games are skill and some are rng. go check em out 😄

[faint flare]

Miner or botanist

[agile laurel]

yeah, check this

[flat basalt]

@outer mural So I bought it twice, once for EU and once for US.
Should I keep tem both until 14 days when I enter the code or should I try to get the refund for the US (Which I think is the wrong one)?

Luckily i paid with Apple Pay so refunds are easy

[hoary veldt]

ok ty

[outer mural]

refund the US one

[hard aurora]

did someone say black mage

[outer mural]

you don't need both

[flat basalt]

Ok

[outer lodge]

Okay is there anything different for open world considering I can’t use F4 without its buff?

[flat basalt]

SO EXCITE

[faint flare]

No cause yoy ALWAYS use enochain

[faint flare]

It's the first thing you use after blizzard 3

[outer lodge]

Even open world questing?

[faint flare]

You never drop it

Yes

[agile laurel]

Enochian is something you simply do not drop .Ever

[outer lodge]

I basically just hit HS last night lol

[faint flare]

It's a extreme part of the job

[thick dome]

Ah okay that makes sense thank you :)

I wanna pick one out of all three classes to 'main' so was just wondering whether it would be okay haha. But i will probably max out around 10 jobs then pick three to focus on

[agile laurel]

You can keep it up forever by spamming transpose, if you don't have a target

[flat basalt]

For the EU version should I unlock and store the key on my laptop, or should I do that when I come back?

[outer lodge]

I wish I didn’t boost blm though

[hard aurora]

@outer lodge enochian gives you a damage buff and access to your fire 4 and ice 4, so, yea you pretty much want it 100% of the time

without it you're like a passed out megumin

xd

[outer mural]

you can save it

[flat basalt]

Ok!

[outer mural]

if you can't really play it then just save it

[flat basalt]

Nice thanks for all the help guys! I appreciate it.

[outer mural]

why crack it open right

aye good luck

[outer lodge]

Lmao

[flat basalt]

Yeah going away for 14 days so might as well not spend that 30 day sub while I am gone, right?

[outer lodge]

I’ll save that picture and practice sucks though because I 1 shot everything currently

[hard aurora]

but seriously, though; especially in higher level content, you 100% need enochian up all the time to manage polygot stacks, despair, umbral hearts, seamless fire/ice stages, etc

[flat basalt]

I am lvl 53, about to reach Heavensward, I got like 3-4 MSQ left.
So excited.
I think I will pickup SAM for the rest of Heavensword, is that a good idea?

[hard aurora]

it might not be as evident at level 50~ content

[flat basalt]

ENOCHAN

[faint flare]

If you want

[flat basalt]

Not enochian, it's ENO-Chan

[hard aurora]

):

[flat basalt]

:D

[hard aurora]

am bad

[flat basalt]

Bad BLM!

[hard aurora]

[nimble bay]

what is the differnce between blue quest icons and regular ones?

[outer lodge]

Thanks guys I’m kinda new tbh with all the stuff that happened at blizzard I got about half my guild to start playing FF and we plan on swapping to it after we get aotc

[nocturne wyvern]

Blue with a plus sign is an unlock.

[nimble bay]

oh poggers

[versed fossil]

what is the somewhat easiest DPS class to play?

[nimble bay]

ty

[faint flare]

Dancer

[versed fossil]

I like playing ranged

[outer mural]

dancer / rdm / mch

[nocturne wyvern]

Dancer.

[outer mural]

they're all easy to pick up

[faint flare]

It's the easiest job in the game

[outer mural]

dancer's the most easy though

free movment, press glowly buttons, do dances

[versed fossil]

haha

thanks

[outer mural]

also leech off of your buds in case you suck

[versed fossil]

will check it out

[nocturne wyvern]

Monk is the most straightforward thing you can start out with though on the way to dancer.

[young epoch]

What's the simplest tanking class?

[outer mural]

warrior

easily

[hard aurora]

@outer lodge as a departing note for black mage - understanding the fight and moving as little as possible is your best friend.

[outer mural]

warrior has barely any buttons and its rotation is very simple to understand

[thick dome]

What about the most fun tanking class?

[hard aurora]

warrior spits in damages face by outhealing the damage

[outer mural]

gunbreaker imo

[hard aurora]

[desert bridge]

Is there a penalty for withdrawing duty finder?

[nocturne wyvern]

Too subjective.

[outer mural]

exploding sword and a lot of weaves

[outer mural]

yes, 30 minute penalty after enough tmes

[outer lodge]

Yeah I’ll be maining sch first and alting BLM as a caster

[open coral]

Only if you withdraw after the duty is readied.

[outer mural]

you just can't queue for stuff for 30 min, not the end of the world

[thick dome]

Well your opinions then :)

[hard aurora]

👍

[nocturne wyvern]

If you withdraw one time nothing bad will happen.

[outer lodge]

[desert bridge]

Yeah but if i do it before its readied then withdrawing does nothing right?

[open coral]

Correct

[nocturne wyvern]

Paladin because I can solo things that other tanks would struggle with.

[open coral]

As long as you haven't gotten the popup to enter the instance, you won't get a penalty strike

[versed fossil]

how do i integrate steam with the FF i installed via the installer?

[hoary crypt]

@nocturne wyvern

[rancid crypt]

I just summoner my way to 60 and than gunbreaker

[nocturne wyvern]

Dropping out of queue before pop won’t do anything.

[rancid crypt]

first of i love the looks of it and second i got way shorter queue times

xD

[open coral]

You can't. The PC version of the game and the Steam version of the game are mutually exclusive.

You can only have one.

[tidal yarrow]

ia there other aetherytes you can world visit other than limsa/gridania/uldah?

[outer lodge]

Tbh I actually really enjoy paladin considering I came from wow as a paladin main it doesn’t surprise me a lot tbh

[versed fossil]

oh no, so if i level up using trial account
and then buy on steam (i prefer it like this)
can't i merge both account ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Lots of major settlements have them.
