questions-and-help

[dull valley]

what does retainer class do for ventures?

[faint flare]

Abd they also don't skill que

[jade quartz]

Macros don’t queue, don’t go off if used early, execute one line a frame, can’t wait in increments smaller than a second, gcd inherent delay,

[warm snow]

Actions from macros don't queue like your normally used skills

[jade quartz]

Etc

[faint flare]

So it just uses whatever is available when it's free

[viral mantle]

How many keys usually, I was wondering I am gonna need more than 24 slots, otherwise I might need to rearrange my current layout a lot . I am using 1-5 and QER as keys right now on 3 modifiers, so got 24 slots, might need hook my map to more keys otherwise so that I can build good muscle memory.

[jade quartz]

Like 30?

[ashen kiln]

alrighty then

[faint flare]

Like 30-35

Or so

[late swan]

Hey guys, im having trouble getting my first mount. I need to get My Little Chocobo <-- quest, but its not there. any sugestions?

[jade quartz]

Lemme look

[ashen kiln]

I did like the buff macro i saw

[faint flare]

Give or take role actions

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[viral mantle]

Hmm, alright gonna need to change it then .

[ashen kiln]

there was one that was for ogcd buffs

looked like it might be nice to use

[faint flare]

Only dragon sight macro

Is good

[narrow jay]

Because if the GCD hasn't finished after you use True, then when the macro tries to execute Vorpal it will simply fail as it's not off cooldown, and the macro proceeds to Full without knowing anything is wrong @ashen kiln

[warm snow]

You're probably not far enough

[faint flare]

None others

[viral mantle]

Oh wait maybe not, I can use 4th mouse key as shift .

[faint flare]

Cause dragon sight is kinda ass to.use

[late swan]

so my main quest is 17, i need to be 20 ?

[viral mantle]

Should gib me 32 keys.

[faint flare]

Yes

Do more story

[late swan]

Thank you for help 🙂

[ashen kiln]

@narrow jay so why it's inconsistent is basically I'm hitting it one or two frames to early.

[warm snow]

Not level 20 exactly but it is locked behind a main story quest that is level 20

[jade quartz]

Yeah a DRG needs 30 binds

[jade quartz]

I can assure you it is not

[viral mantle]

Awesome! Ty for checking it for me !

[jade quartz]

I really can’t emphasise this strongly enough

Using macros on DRG is not viable for anything except Dragon Sight

[narrow jay]

No, because the macro and the GCD are starting at the exact same time in this case. So it's not lining up because the macro speed and your skill speed don't match.

Trust me, it's way easier just to work in good keybinds and not use macros. =)

[jade quartz]

To use others is bad play and at quest basically griefing your party members by not pulling your weight due to them

[ashen kiln]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hkax69nlkl2uphl/GmZihw12rX.mp4

is what im talking about

and yeah i dont plan on using the macro for gcd's

[faint flare]

We know

[ashen kiln]

I was just wondering why it was weird

[faint flare]

And we told you way

[jade quartz]

Or oGCDs

[split jay]

Does heaven on high get better with gear and level or is it always the same

[jade quartz]

Or to try to unify any two actions into one button.

[faint flare]

Hoh is potd but for 61-70

Same rules apply

[jade quartz]

You’ve been told the one acceptable use case for aDRG macro, Dragon Sight

[warm snow]

It gets gets easier with higher aether pool gear

[jade quartz]

And that’s the only one, period

That one skill.

No other oGCDs

No gcds.

[narrow jay]

Macros ARE good for things like party communication. For example, healers will use macros with their resurrects to tell their healer partner who they're raising, so there's no double rezzes and wasted MP/Swiftcasts

[ashen kiln]

Like look, I just came asking a question and you are all down my throat about it. Can you just step off a bit?

[jade quartz]

Macros have niche uses yeah

[ashen kiln]

I get it. I wont use it for that. I got it the first time you said it.

[jade quartz]

You asked a question and it’s getting answered

[fiery moth]

Macros are super helpful outside of dungeons and raids

[jade quartz]

You brought up using an ogcd buff macro

[ashen kiln]

No, it's not just getting answered, I'm getting dogpiled with the same thing being said repeatedly.

[jade quartz]

And are being told that that’s not ok either.

[dull valley]

can retainers be on a venture and be selling things on the market?

[gritty oracle]

Yeah

[lapis talon]

I am a level 31 dark knight am I supposed to have 1237 health

[warm snow]

It's all dependent on your gear

[gritty oracle]

The only time retainers are not selling things is when you're visiting them

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey

I'm in post Heavensward on my first character

But I want to play a character of a different race as an alt

[jade quartz]

For advice on setting up hotbar layout head to #protips-and-ui , you can also search images there to see layouts others have posted in the past

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it worth it to get a boost for an alt if I haven't finished the story on my first account

Was wondering since boosts are on sale right now

[split jay]

So is heaven on high easier now than it was several years ago?

[gritty oracle]

I wouldn't recommend it since it's lv70 boost

[warm snow]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS

[faint flare]

Nothing has changed about it

[warm snow]

Tbh wouldn't recommend it

[urban grotto]

so how long should I do raids for for leveling up/loot getting before I move on to the next leveling method?

[faint flare]

I mean you can skip to start of stormblood

For the alt

Yeah you'll be 70 but can just pick up dancer/gunbreaker

[urban grotto]

what level is gunbreaker available at?

[warm snow]

60

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah this character was going to be a dancer

[warm snow]

Also need to own shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

Or black mage

[split jay]

I think I’m just gonna stick with my Air Force mount

[leaden ginkgo]

I have everything

I'm just not sure if its worth making an alt

[warm snow]

You can play all jobs on one character. Alts aren't very common here

[leaden ginkgo]

But its a different race and gendered character

[split jay]

I wanted to get something super rare and was thinking about the juedi

[urban grotto]

at what level should I continue to do raids at? whats the maximum benefit for xp from raids and how long does it last for?

[faint flare]

Raids don't give xp

[thick dove]

yo so I'm trying to do a quest but it says that I need to have my item level up to 42 and mine is only 39 rn. I noticed that my rings/accessories are my lowest I-level items cuz there like 30-35 is there a vendor I can just buy better rings at?

[warm snow]

Only the daily alliance raid roulette gives decent exp

[faint flare]

Only alliance raid roulette does once daily

[warm snow]

Go do your job quests

[jade quartz]

Job quests

Get your ilvl 90 job gear

[thick dove]

👍

[narrow jay]

there are also jewelry vendors in the major cities who sell things to bump the ilvl up. job quests don't give accessories (afaik), which is what you actually asked about

that and dungeons can drop pink accessories on occasion, which can be good things to tide you over until you can get the lv50 Ironworks set

[upbeat reef]

What ventures to run on 80? Is there even a point in doing the long one?

[jade quartz]

Job quests will bring the ilvl up to the required average

Which is what was being asked about.

I do not suggest wasting money on any vendor accessories.

[warm snow]

He's at the point in the story where you're expected to do your job quests to get to the required ilebel

[jade quartz]

Soon they will be able to buy Ironworks accessories anyway

[ivory dawn]

hey i have a really important question 😦 i am really new just joined 3 days ago. Today i did a dungeon. At the end I told someone my DPS and they asked how I saw it. * I told them I use ACT , and what it is * am i going to get banned? and if so how long 😦

[upbeat reef]

rip, permabanned in a day

[ivory dawn]

😦

[upbeat reef]

you'll be fine

[jade quartz]

If they report you, maybe you will receive either a warning or a ban for a day or a few.

[faint flare]

Only if they report you

[upbeat reef]

unless you trashtalk people and they report you its fine

[warm snow]

That is a bannable offence: using third party software to harass other players

[jade quartz]

Hopefully they wouldn’t have reported you though

[gritty oracle]

Unless someone reports you, you're fine. You still want to keep on the down low about ACT though. Also it's not really worth using in dungeons

[warm snow]

Just don't say shit like that to people

[faint flare]

Don't talk about fight club

[ivory dawn]

they were new like me and wanted to know how to do it, and i looked it up; thats exactly howi get banned lol

thx guys

i hope he no report

[upbeat reef]

Also dont use 3rd party software that you dont properly know about

[warm snow]

You could say to Google dps meters

But that would be pushing it

[lunar nexus]

Mods in general aren’t technically allowed but SE doesn’t ban for it unless you use it to harass someone or are super fucking obvious

General rule is “don’t show don’t tell”

[ivory dawn]

yh whoops. :/

[jade quartz]

SE does sometimes action for just mentioning it

[faint flare]

Ahh the classic Fbi fishing technique

[viral mantle]

Actually why does the game not have dps meters?

[faint flare]

Pretend to be new

[jade quartz]

Even without harassment.

[warm snow]

No

[lunar nexus]

Toxicity

[ivory dawn]

this

[jade quartz]

Player toxicity

[faint flare]

Cause they know we'll be toxic as shit

[ivory dawn]

Oh. I get it

[warm snow]

Yoshi p literally just explained this in a recent interview

[ivory dawn]

I can see how it could become toxic

yh

[viral mantle]

Oh I see. I played ESO and it was generally fine.

[faint flare]

They know us too well

[warm snow]

It just invites toxicity

[viral mantle]

But this game is way bigger.

So makes sense.

[warm snow]

Any excuse

[faint flare]

Like xenos says

It's because of YOU

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait so if I get a skip to the end of Heavensward on an alt character

How do I really spam 51-60 POTD? Like how do I reset the progress but still keep it in a way lol I’d wanna do higher rounds later when I’m leveled up

I need to get a level boost too?

[ivory dawn]

🙏 i dont get banned :< i learn a lesson today

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yeah

[lunar nexus]

FFXIV has carefully cultivated a playerbase that is welcoming and nontoxic by keeping a tight grip on things

[faint flare]

Or power level it

Like any alt class

[lunar nexus]

Other games don’t really take this approach

Whether that’s to their benefit or detriment is for you to decide

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah yeah if I get the skip I'll get all of the dungeons and stuff too

[lunar nexus]

Some not all

[warm snow]

Yoshi p has outright said no in game dps meters ever

[lunar nexus]

It’ll only unlock required ones

[viral mantle]

So what happens if someone is on twitch using that thing? Ban ban?

[warm snow]

I'll leave this here for the official stance https://youtu.be/e_i6mjiGerU

[viral mantle]

Because I saw lot of videos on youtube when looking for guides with dps meter.

[warm snow]

For those interested

[faint flare]

No

Only if they're being dicks

[jade quartz]

Nothing

[faint flare]

They've watched world first raiders do it

[runic cairn]

if it becomes a problem in-game you will get in trouble for it

[faint flare]

They know all about it

[warm snow]

They won't get officially supported by squenix but unless they're being dicks they'll be left alone

[viral mantle]

That's cool then.

[jade quartz]

World first raiders openly stream with act visible

[faint flare]

It's literally

Don't be a dick

Don't mention it

[jade quartz]

And still get acknowledged by se

[faint flare]

And you're gucci

[warm snow]

I don't think any of them were included in that twitch fat black choco promo

[viral mantle]

Yea, tbh, if you are a dick you should be banned, so this is really nice.

[faint flare]

Play nicely with the toys or daddy Se takes them awau

[viral mantle]

There was a new tank that kept messing up when we were doing lake of the dragon quest, poor guy literally got shredded by the dps and healer .

[jade quartz]

Well they’re like

Not really regular content creators

[leaden ginkgo]

Y’all How do I really spam 51-60 POTD? Like how do I reset the progress but still keep it in a way lol I’d wanna do higher rounds later when I’m leveled up later

[lunar nexus]

technically doing that is playing with fire but the only example of someone getting banned with it is because they literally directed their stream to harass someone for their low DPS

in reference to DPS meters on twitch since discord didn’t scroll my chat down

[leaden ginkgo]

Or do I keep doing 1-60 again n again

[jade quartz]

Reset progress, you can start at level 51 on a fresh save

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet ty

[ashen kiln]

I found a decent drg setup that feels like I could get muscle memory for it rather easily.

Full Thrust: R(A) -> R(X) -> RL(X)
Chaos Thrust: R(A) -> R(B) -> RL(B)
AoE: R(Y) -> RL(A) -> RL(Y)

https://i.imgur.com/D4sJfsS.png

[jade quartz]

And in that case they also linked to their stream in their ingame character info

[ashen kiln]

I'll practice with it and see how it goes.

[warm snow]

There's no "best" ui setup for any job

Just find what works for you

[lunar nexus]

In any case it generally feels like the dev team is for mods sometimes but they can’t outright say it because it’s an endorsement

Theres a lot they could be doing to prevent mods that they aren’t

Or at least neutral about it

[narrow jay]

looks good; most important thing is that it feels natural, so

[jade quartz]

They can’t scan your install for modifications because of spyware laws in some jurisdictions.

Particularly in Japan as I understand it.

[warm snow]

I think yoshi p has said he doesn't want to get in an "arms race" over that shit

[jade quartz]

That’s just not done.

[ashen kiln]

Sweet

[warm snow]

Not worth the effortt

[narrow jay]

when you get Wheeling and Fang you may want to update the sequence, but it should be fine

[ashen kiln]

The best thing to do to prevent hacks is to make the server authoritative on the majority of things that "matter".

In all other cases, just check for memory modifications I guess because like you said the arms race is an expensive one.

at least stop skiddies from using cheat engine lmao

[warm snow]

Act and 90% of mods are client side no ones doing any server hacking fuckery

[jade quartz]

1.0 was like this and it was awful

[viral mantle]

If they check for memory modification I'll legit quit the game lol. I don't want them installing spyware on my pc.

[lunar nexus]

There was a post on reddit about bots under uldah a few days ago

[viral mantle]

Riot did that stuff with their kernel level thingy.

[jade quartz]

And they will not check for memory modifications

[warm snow]

And that's doable client side

Using glitches

[jade quartz]

Player locations are client side

That’s important for responsiveness

[lunar nexus]

I mean that’s not server authoritative then?

Depends on if they’re actually there I guess?

[jade quartz]

1.0 was server authoritative for everything

[warm snow]

Depends on the situation

[ashen kiln]

punkbuster and vac work that way, I don't consider them to be malware or spyware honestly.

[jade quartz]

Including opening freaking menu windows

[ashen kiln]

Yeah having packet authority on a UI element is dumb as fuck

I could kind of understand synchronizing player position and server position every now and then though

rubber banding sucks, but that's most games these days.

[viral mantle]

The problem with those is you trust the game to stay good and tidy. I think a better approach is to just randomly send data to server side once in a while to verify. Could be a seperate thread for it, and if it's out of bounds, investigate and ban .

Tbh as long as it's memory bound only to cells the game uses, idc, anything else, naw fam.

[ashen kiln]

I will admit when I saw someone just openly floating and clipping through floors with no issues I was surprised.

Saw it on coerthas lol

[viral mantle]

But devs in this game seems to genuinely care for their player base, so it's very nice and I am sure they won't ever take those steps .

[ashen kiln]

I have yet to try any mods admittedly.

Didn't want to get banned haha

[viral mantle]

Question, I see a lot of really good graphics pictures from this game, but my game doesn't look that good, are they using reshade?

[faint flare]

As long as you keep it to yourself mods are fine

[faint flare]

Yeah

[viral mantle]

Okay makes sense .

[faint flare]

Reshade/Gshade

Take your pick

[ashen kiln]

oh you can make the game look nicer?

[lunar nexus]

Isn’t there also stormshade or something

[faint flare]

Yeah shaders

Alot use them

[ashen kiln]

I might try one of those honestly.

[faint flare]

These are the main ones

[ashen kiln]

The graphics are definitely old school and it's not a bad thing, but I would like some nicer shadows and more modern features.

For instance the bloom in this game is awful.

it's just a box blur around anything that's emissive

like come on lol

[jade quartz]

Gshade is a custom reshade build designed for FFXIV

[ashen kiln]

What potions do you guys use on DRG?

Was gonna buy a few

[faint flare]

Grade 4 tinctures of strength

High quality

[jade quartz]

Not till 80 and only when doing high level content

[steady pewter]

for bozjan augmented laws order, is potd or bozjan dungeon faster?

[ashen kiln]

Which HP potion is worth having on the hotbar?

[jade quartz]

Below that potions are not worth using

None tbh

Use em if you got ‘em

[ashen kiln]

😛 I take damage when out in the world soloing

[faint flare]

Delubrum by far. 3 per run...try to find speedruns for significantly faster runs

[jade quartz]

They’re really not required though

[faint flare]

Just use your chocobo

[ashen kiln]

I do use the chocobo

[steady pewter]

okay, thank you man

[jade quartz]

Healer chocobo yeah

[faint flare]

For overworld healing

[ashen kiln]

he isnt at that level yet

[faint flare]

Potions heal 1 auto attack

[ashen kiln]

hes just on free mode

or whatever it is

[jade quartz]

And second wind and bloodbath

[ashen kiln]

I know you guys are good at the game

but I'm still getting into it and would like some HP pots

[jade quartz]

Use potions you get but I wouldn’t bother going and buying stacks of them

[faint flare]

Potions do legitimately heal 1 auto attack

[ashen kiln]

thats fair then

[drowsy pagoda]

Are there any FAQS or guides for commander squadrons?

[ashen kiln]

are those the ones that help you run dungeons?

[tight mango]

How do you get different sized hotbars?
How do you separate them into smaller groups of 3-4 buttons

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, what do you guys think looks best, female high or midlander? Why?

[jade quartz]

Highlander cause middies have the run

[glossy flare]

If you open your hud layout, select a specific hotbar and then click on the little cog you can adjust more options for that specific element.

[abstract parcel]

is there a way to change which chocobos are visible in the FC stable? someone just stabled theirs and it is so ugly compared to the last one that was there

[glossy flare]

Including scale and how it is arranged

Should take care of all you wanna do

[glossy flare]

gotta agree with Lyon there, both look good but female middies have a super weird run animation

Like, an overly girly one, it looks weird

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah

[jade quartz]

It’s a dainty princess run with the arms going out to the side

[young rune]

so are extreme mount drop rates increased or the same with level sync

[glossy flare]

the same

[young rune]

ah

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m trying to decide if war glam looks good on female hyur or male, Highlander

[graceful sail]

I can unlock my activation key for the game without redeeming it right?

[glossy flare]

If by unlock you mean buy it, then yes

[graceful sail]

I bought it and got my confirmation email saying I can activate my key

I can activate it whenever I want right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[median aurora]

what is the Play online service accounts? do i have to sign up for it? or that's not needed

[graceful sail]

Ty

[jade quartz]

That’s for Final Fantasy 11

Not this game

This game’s service account management site is the Mog Station

[median aurora]

i signed up for it on mistake can i like delete it if i don't need it

[warm snow]

Weskalber youtube

[jade quartz]

I dunno anything about play online accounts tbh story

[median aurora]

ah aight

[warm snow]

Like we told you yesterday, subjective

[ashen kiln]

is elusive jump used for anything in dragoon?

it seems kinda useless no?

[glossy flare]

movement

[warm snow]

Evaisve manuevers

[glossy flare]

you can use it to get out of bad or get close to wherever you wanna be

[ashen kiln]

just on like a big boss aoe or something?

[faint flare]

Getting out of aoes or getting to the boss faster

[glossy flare]

the fixed distance ofc means it can be a bit spicy to use

[warm snow]

It's one of 2 "melee" jobs with a back step iirc

[ashen kiln]

oh i see

[faint flare]

You can run out of an Aoe then backflip back to the boss faster

Or vice via

[ashen kiln]

Oh so you can just spin around and go somewhere faster haha

nice

[warm snow]

Bard has a back step but it needs to be in close range, Sam has a back step, and ofc rdm

[glossy flare]

In fact there's a common meme about dragoons yeeting themselfs off of edges with that skill. So be careful 😛

[faint flare]

It very very common for Dragoons to open with it

[ashen kiln]

lmao

floor tanks right?

[warm snow]

Guess you could include between the lines if you want to split hairs

[ashen kiln]

or does that mean something else

[glossy flare]

Nah, that is part of it

[vagrant crescent]

I'm a level 54 Paladin now but I still can't seem to use Goring Blade Skill. Any idea why?

Is it cause I'm not in Heavensward area yet?

[median aurora]

i requested a ticket saying i forgot my square enix ID but a few hours later i remembered it is there a way to cancel the ticket?

[warm snow]

That and: armor looks cool ill go with this job, not learn it and die

[faint flare]

Yes

[glossy flare]

But just for the record, Dragoon is a perfectly fine job. It just has lots of memes surrounding it

[vagrant crescent]

I see :D

[ashen kiln]

Lets be real, the armor does look cool.

[warm snow]

What cypher said anyways

[ashen kiln]

I chose it because it was my starter though haha

I didnt know it would look cool end-game i just like the idea of spears and shit

[carmine lily]

Is there a better way to find grade 2 hemp in the diadem? Trying to level weaver by spamming ropes but there's none on the market and whether it's in a node doesn't seem to be certain

[ashen kiln]

[warm snow]

Do grade 4 crafts

[faint flare]

You don't do grade 2 receipes

You do grade 4

[carmine lily]

oh

[faint flare]

It's physically impossible to get mats that aren't grade 4

You basically soft wasted money

[warm snow]

They're not increasing difficulty they're just "seasons" we had in the diadem

[vagrant crescent]

Got it :D

[warm snow]

Although iirc the expert crafts actually got harder

[carmine lily]

yeah the video I was watching just used grade 2, guess it's old

[west bridge]

is there a way to turn off my bars changing when swapping jobs?

[faint flare]

Yes

[faint flare]

Make them shared

[warm snow]

But you probably won't want to do that if you end up playing multiple jobs

[faint flare]

In character configuration > hotbar > sharing

Shared hotbars retain when swapping

Good for misc stuff likes mounts

[warm snow]

Bad for bars where you keep your job skills

[slow isle]

It says my Pixie reputation is capped at 510 as the max? How do I increase it? Someone told me I just needed to keep doing dailies to get the pig mount, so I know it’s possible.

[jovial quarry]

Plus a side quest that unlocks an emote.

[jovial quarry]

The pink pixie will have a blue quest that will allow you to continue earning rep. Every time your rep maxes out, the pink pixie will have a new quest for your next rank.

[slow isle]

Is it within the dream world? Or the one that gives out the dailies? I didn’t see any blue quests and I did a ton. There’s only one side quest in that other fae village.

[faint flare]

It's literally next to the daily quest giver

[jovial quarry]

Should be from Tyr Beq. Right next to the daily quests.

[slow isle]

I’ll have to check again when I get home. The fuck do I do if it’s not there?

[jovial quarry]

Check your Journal for side quests from Il Mheg.

[faint flare]

It will be there

Unless you picked it already

[weary jolt]

are there any rewards for finishing all ranks of the hunting log for my class?\

[faint flare]

A ring

[slow isle]

I know right now I’m doing the whole night mare questline

[faint flare]

With that jobs icon on it

The rank up quests continue that story

[slow isle]

Would that stop the cap? I’ll just ask again later.

[faint flare]

At rank 8 yes

Cause that's when the story is finished

[jovial quarry]

And, yeah, if you're doing the thing with the nightmares, that will raise the cap.

[shell skiff]

Can I lvl all the way to 80 just by doing the main quest line ?

[faint flare]

You're meant to

[slow isle]

Ok then. Yeesh.

[faint flare]

That's how you do the first job

[shell skiff]

😄 awesome !

[leaden ginkgo]

ok, so im confused. i did the weekly quest for Yorha, but i cant figure out how to start the next quest The Merchant of Komra

[faint flare]

You may want to do the occasional levelling roulette now and then to stay ahead of the curve

But otherwise it continues all the way to cap

There is that one dumb 3 level jump at 46 that catches nearly everyone

[pine lagoon]

Hello! Im very new to FFXIV and loving the game so far! I need someone to please answer me a VERY specific question, I couldn't find anything online!

I wanna play Dancer, I know I have to buy shadowbringers first, since the quest will become available AFTER my purchase. But my question is: If I reach 60 BEFORE sb (heavensward level?) AND i have purchased the next expac, can i play dancer?

[runic cairn]

yes

[jovial quarry]

Yeah there are no unlock requirements aside from owning ShB and being level 60.

[runic cairn]

except for those introduced in heavensward, you just have to meet the job's level requirement

[faint flare]

There's no story required for dancer

So just hit 60

And own shadowbringers

[cedar horizon]

What is fastest way of getting Raw Emotions? I was thinking Dalriada becuz its 3 every time. But whenever you do it, it can last up to an hour typically or 45 mins average I would say. So wouldnt dungeons be fastest to do? Because they can maybe around 10 mins each time

[pine lagoon]

can i reach level 60 in arr?

[faint flare]

Only heavensward jobs need story

[faint flare]

Speedrun DR

15mins for 2

• artifacts if you have that active as well

[cedar horizon]

Well you need a good speed running group to do it that fast lol

Its around the same time as Dalriada in completion time at least for me

[faint flare]

Party finder speedrun groups are usually good enough

[cedar horizon]

Its about 45 mins to 1 hour

[faint flare]

Literally all PFs I've done with it can been 20mins or less

Cause everyone uses their essenses and people bring their rends, dervish and Elder C4s

[cedar horizon]

Ahhh okay

what is 2nd best option then?

[faint flare]

Blue mage dungeons

[cedar horizon]

Okay

[faint flare]

Hells lid with blues is pretty quick

[agile cave]

hi looking for help with my hot bar

[pine lagoon]

well thank you SO much guys! i am very happy now that i know i only have to buy SB and hit 60 to play the role i want! i really appreciate you for answering a tricky question lol

See you in-game!

[teal orbit]

is there a tank skill that acts like a timed parry?
one that you have to use right before you get hit by a tankbuster

[faint flare]

No

[teal orbit]

Oh by the way vinyl

[autumn jetty]

nah, they're all pretty much damage reductions. nothing like a parry

[faint flare]

All tanks have a short defensive Cooldown that mitigation damage for 6s

[teal orbit]

When should you ideally pop your mitigation?

The moment you see the tankbuster getting prepared?

[autumn jetty]

When you see tankbuster being cast

[teal orbit]

Or as late as possible?

[faint flare]

In dungeons, during big pulls

[teal orbit]

Yes but when during the cast ideally

[faint flare]

In raids when it starts casting

[teal orbit]

early or late? (if both are possible in your rotation)

[autumn jetty]

i dunno, 3/4 of the way through

[faint flare]

As long as the buff is active

Qhen the cast ends

It doesn't matter

[teal orbit]

shouldnt you wait until the cast is almost done?

[nocturne wyvern]

I usually do early just in case of ping.

[teal orbit]

so you get more mitigation on the regular attacks afterwards

[faint flare]

The earlier it's on Cooldown the faster it's back

Plus you'll mitigate some autos on the lead up

[nocturne wyvern]

The damage in this game comes in very predictable waves, if you can survive it once you'll survive it every time.

[teal orbit]

ah wait

does the boss still AA during a cast?

[faint flare]

Like if you know the buster is in 15s you can pop a 20s+

[agile cave]

i am a lvl 70 paladin and need help seting up my hotbar i feel like i am just mashing random stuff and would love to be a good tank . can any one help?

[faint flare]

No but they'll be autoing before it

[teal orbit]

hmm oksu

but assuming you have no mitigation up yet

[faint flare]

Like I said

[teal orbit]

boss starts castbar

[faint flare]

As long as it's up before the cast ends

Kinda doesn't really mattee

[teal orbit]

alright

[teal orbit]

is this required btw?

[faint flare]

No

[teal orbit]

personally not a fan of this

like having to memorize when an attack is coming 15s in advance

that's a type of metagaming that's too far for me

[faint flare]

There may be some Cooldown rotations that you could dream up by pre popping

But that's like ultra optimization

[nocturne wyvern]

Bosses in this game do a very long sequence that's very predictable.

If you get in to savage mode raiding where every boss is just one long predictable sequence you can map out every gcd and cooldown to the second.

[faint flare]

Once you do a fight enough you just get their script into muscle memory

[woven oak]

Hi, i already have a paid account with all the dlcs but shadowbringers and i'm using the free 14 day they gave because i still haven't got the monthly sub yet again, so my question is: do the tales of adventure work? i'm not really a free trial account right? i already have the game i'm just using the 14 free day from the event

[faint flare]

Hell I can even remember my gcds loosely for fucking Living liquid in tea

[teal orbit]

I see

[covert pumice]

can somebody explain to me the duty finder penalty count?

[faint flare]

Get 3 and you get a 30min period you can't que

Resets daily

You get 1 every time you miss a que

Or decline it

[visual yacht]

can someone explain potd a bit to me? i want a padjali weapon, so that means i just need +30/+30 aetherpool and floor 50 cleared right?

[faint flare]

You trade that 30/30 aetherpool into 3 aetherical grips

To buy the weapon after clearing 50

[visual yacht]

and theres no way to lose aetherpool even if i die right? and say i die to the floor 50 boss, can i just keep trying 41-50 again or do i have to restart the whole run?

[thick dome]

Possible to clear the hardest content with controller?

[faint flare]

You only loose aetherpool if you trade it in for groups

[faint flare]

Yes

Source: me

[thick dome]

As tank

[faint flare]

Controller isn't a hindrance

[thick dome]

GZ mate

[south roost]

So I'm a little fuzzy on how glamour works. I turned a Ao Dai into a glamour plate thingy. I then dyed it White for my outfit. I want to use a Ao Dai for my other outfit too but in red. Do I need a second Ao Dai to do this?

[thick dome]

Thinking of switching

[faint flare]

Many people even prefer controller

Over kbm

[thick dome]

Left hand suffering

[visual yacht]

so can i just keep trying 41-50 until i clear it or do i have to reset

[faint flare]

You can

[thick dome]

Cant reach all keys with ctrl etc

And dont wanna get mmo mouse lol

[visual yacht]

ty ty, sounds way too good to be true but ill try it

[faint flare]

You can put the item on the glamour plate then dye the plate itself

Meaning the item is only that colour for that plate only

[visual yacht]

try q, e, f, g, and shift instead of ctrl

[faint flare]

And not affect the original item

[south roost]

Alright I'll try it out. Tyty^^

[thick dome]

Yeah doing that currently with shift also tho

Alt is weird for me

[visual yacht]

same

[vagrant crescent]

I heard the highest you can go to is a captain in the Grand Company. What about as a free to play player at level 60?

[thick dome]

Obviously controller is viable at the highest level so I may switch

[south roost]

This^^ After getting used to controller I actually think it's superior to Mouse+Keyboard. I'm much faster on everything and it's very easy to just group stuff and switch rapidly

[faint flare]

Captain

[queen fern]

When do Beast Tribe quest allowances reset?

[thick dome]

Hmm xbox one or ps4 tho haha?

[faint flare]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

15 hours, 54 minutes, 41 seconds

[queen fern]

It's been several days since I last did any and my allowance is still 0.

[last brook]

Did I have a flat 0.00% of winning 1st place?? Why the heck is it even in the list then?

[faint flare]

Cause you still have a beast tribe quest active

[thick dome]

What roles do you play?

[faint flare]

You can never get the crown or eagle in the single slot

[south roost]

Same reason lotto tickets list first place

[faint flare]

So it's 0%

[runic cairn]

either you pick the single slot to guarantee 2-4 or you pick the group for a chance at 1 but also risk of 5

[sullen junco]

Hi guys, I bought an outfit from the online store, how do I put it on without taking out my gear?

[faint flare]

The crown is only in the triple slot

[last brook]

I see. I'll have to remember that

[vagrant crescent]

How do I become a Captain than? I just became the Second Flame Lieutenant and it says there are no further promotion available.

It atleast told me how I can get promoted but this time it was blank.

[exotic wedge]

Hi everyone, now when I try to change my password it says that my account isn’t verified and they don’t send to me a confirmation code
What should I do ?

[faint flare]

Do squadrons

In the barracks

[vagrant crescent]

Oh ok. Thank you :D

[queen fern]

I checked my log, I don't have any.

[faint flare]

You do if they're not resetting

That's the only reason why they dont reset

[queen fern]

Oh wait.

The Magitek Menace.

You're right.

Since the FATE never spawned I forgot about it.

Thanks.

After the Ironworks set, what weapons/armor should I be striving for?

i'm in limsa and cannot find the aesthetician quest. could anyone help?

[dull valley]

@midnight sparrow

[midnight sparrow]

so I have to go to uldah first?

[dull valley]

not sure, I would check the location first

[runic cairn]

no that requirement was a msq

there's a version for each city-state, you have to have cleared whichever one is applicable

[midnight sparrow]

ah

ty

[worthy vapor]

this might sound like a stupid question, can I still play with people who bought the game on square enix home page if I buy the game on steam

[faint flare]

Yes

All cross play

With everyone

[worthy vapor]

that is so awesome

[woven talon]

But get it on SE because the complete edition is 60% off

[worthy vapor]

SE is short for

[faint flare]

Square Enix

[worthy vapor]

ah

k

if the game/complete edition doesnt have a sale on steam in the next week I will buy it on SE

[faint flare]

Steam doesn't have super frequent sales for the game

And it was on sale during the summer sale

[dull valley]

go with SE for sure

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[faint flare]

Tldr any

[worthy vapor]

It sounds like it is the best option, will hundred percent to that instead

thanks for helping me everyone

[cedar vortex]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

roughly

[agile laurel]

What class/job was Louisoix considered as, generally?

[covert pumice]

I imagine he mustve been arcanist of some sort

since alphinaud is one too

oh yeah the staff hmm

[faint flare]

We never see him like proper fight so

Ty for info

I been exploring some of the towns and they are super populated but I don't hear people talking ever. Is the /say chat limited in what I can hear?

[faint flare]

No

You can see every chat

[knotty lily]

People arent really using /say chat in this game, is all

[agile laurel]

Say, yell and shout are varied in range

[edgy path]

Oh gotcha

[faint flare]

Except ones you need invites for

[agile laurel]

You won't hear a /say outside of, say, half of the max casting range

yell is a bit wider, and shout is across the whole area

[knotty lily]

Usually talking in Free Company or Linkshell chat or something else.
/say /shout and /yell are all overworld chats with different ranges

[leaden ginkgo]

What gear should I get for lvl50 again?

[agile laurel]

and yeah, that's the case. mostly people just stand around and look pretty or talk in DMs

[edgy path]

Gotcha, thanks for info again

[leaden ginkgo]

Just leveled an alt job n it’s low af just drop gear

[faint flare]

Ironworks

[knotty lily]

Ironworks, i130 - Mor Dhona when you have enough tomestones for it

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet ty sir

[edgy path]

Sorry for all the questions, but another question. Whenever I examine somebody it doesn't show their achievement points or anything. Is there a way to see what people achieved when examining?

[faint flare]

Not in game

[knotty lily]

Nope, nada - you'd have to check their Lodestone page on the web and if they have public Acheevos, you could

[edgy path]

Gotcha, ty again

[agile laurel]

achievement comparison really isn't a thing compared to some other MMOs

[knotty lily]

Is Achievement comparison.. a thing in others? 🤔

[agile laurel]

Mm. Much easier to do in WoW for example

[leaden ginkgo]

If I vacate my apartment, do i lose the items in my storage? Is the storage to THAT apartment?

[agile laurel]

you click a button

[agile laurel]

Storage to that apartment is all sent to the vendor-i-cant-recall-the-name-of-that-holds-items in the housing district, if you were to vacate it

[faint flare]

You need to remove the items

Before you vacate

[leaden ginkgo]

I have removed everything to Storeroom

[pure lion]

hi how do u unlock scaven/ lvl70 gears npc is there a quest?

[faint flare]

Finish stormblood

[knotty lily]

NPCs are in Rhaglrs Reach and will be auto-made available the moment you're ready for em

[pure lion]

so they dont unlock at 70 but once i complete stormblood?

[low kindle]

question: after clearing Delubrum, if i go back in do i get another big chunk of mettle when i clear?

[faint flare]

You need to physically remove EVERYTHING from the apartment, including store room

[pure lion]

thank q

[faint flare]

You can't vacate while stuff is in the storeroom

[leaden ginkgo]

Alrighty, so basically move everything from storeroom to a retainer. Got it o7

[faint flare]

You always get mettle on clear

[low kindle]

i figured, but i got 231k on my first attempt. i hope its another chunk like that

[faint flare]

You do

As always, mettle scales with rank

So higher rank gives you more.mettle

At 25 it's like 630k

Iirc

[low kindle]

sweet going back in. r14 now. just need 15 for savage 🙂

[faint flare]

Go into Zadnor if you want mettle

It's significantly faster

[sullen junco]

where do i get 2b thongs from?

[low kindle]

zadnor? hmm ill have to look up that

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

unless you buy a transfer no.

[agile laurel]

could have food buff, for that small an increase

[leaden ginkgo]

shouldnt that show up on his buff bar tho

oh he does

[kindred light]

Hi guys. Where do I get higher level DoH (CUL) gear? do I have to rely on weavers for that? Will just doing the quests supply me with all I need?

[leaden ginkgo]

even without food buff he has more hp than me by 100 hp

why and how

[agile laurel]

really don't have enough information to know, I can't see his gear or yours

Answer could be simple as 'syncing be like that sometimes'

[leaden ginkgo]

mine

his highest item

[jaunty swallow]

Oh boy I hope they don't ruin syncing too much with the news squish

[urban grotto]

can't find beeswax, best place to find it?

[obsidian patio]

Basically like a message board

[grizzled niche]

Hi everyone, I just picked up the Gunbreaker class but i'm kinda lost with the abilties the class has... Any tips on which abilities to use etc?

[leaden ginkgo]

keen edge combo

[knotty lily]

Really depends on your level. Marketboard has some, Your GC has some for low levels, you can buy some with Scrip gear if youre above 50, you can craft it yourself. Or you can even buy Normal Quality from vendors depending on your level, again.
The class quests help but arent really going to fully gear you so you cant rely as well

[obsidian patio]

Racial stats

[leaden ginkgo]

these are his combos at lvl60

so au ra gets more hp?

[grizzled niche]

Ah alright, thanks I think i'll be fine after learning the basics for a bit.

[obsidian patio]

A little bit, yeah

Like 3 or 4 vit

[kindred light]

thanks. I haven't gotten to the point of getting scrips yet

[leaden ginkgo]

at lvl 70 you get this which is so op i love it

!action continuation

[zinc orbit]

**Continuation** : lvl 70 GNB (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Allows the firing of successive rounds with your gunblade.
Gnashing Fang may be followed by Jugular Rip.
Savage Claw may be followed by Abdomen Tear.
Wicked Talon may be followed by Eye Gouge.

Powered by XIVAPI

[knotty lily]

Assuming you mean just "Beeswax"; If you can, craft it yourself at Alchemist level 10 - you just need Beehive chips (gathered by BTN, or bought from NPC vendors in cities/housing)

[leaden ginkgo]

basically a 3rd combo

or 2 but an extended combo

[urban grotto]

kk thanks!

[agile laurel]

keen edge>brutal shell>solid barrel, use cartridges on either burst strike or Gnashing Fang if available, if GF is available then press savage claw and wicked talon after it

[grizzled niche]

Ooh that sounds good

[leaden ginkgo]

these arew my gunbreaker hotbars as this works for me.

[agile laurel]

try to use sonic break, danger zone and a cartridge combo at minimum under No Mercy

[grizzled niche]

Yeah, that is kinda how I did setup my hotbar as well thanks for the insight.

[agile laurel]

gnashing fang is roughly half the cooldown length of no mercy so it lines up that way

[leaden ginkgo]

gnb was my first 80 i like it alot

[agile laurel]

don't overcap cartridges, unless it's aoe because you don't get an aoe cartridge spender til 72 so haha

[leaden ginkgo]

fated circle is so fucking good ngl

i love it

[grizzled niche]

I've mainly been playing NIN but wanted something different

[agile laurel]

if you've played ninja- ah

[leaden ginkgo]

but its a gcd

which is mehh

[agile laurel]

if you have ninja at a high level, managing gnashing fang is similar to Trick Attack

[kindred light]

I have a macro for the cartrage combo. Are there any downsides to using one?

[agile laurel]

yes

[balmy stump]

Can someone help me party up?

[agile laurel]

lots

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[leaden ginkgo]

^

dont use marcos

its bad

big dumb idea

[grizzled niche]

Oh nice, shouldn't be too hard to do it right than I guess.

[agile laurel]

but yes, if you consider that you get one TA where you get to use Ten Chi Jin and Meisui, and then one when you don't, and one when you do, etc

[haughty peak]

Macros are fine on things like shirk and crafting. Never otherwise

[strange sandal]

Hey folks, I was gonna put some gear into armoire, but it says "antiquated" instead of just the regular name I see for this ancient armor set. Is there something I gotta do to this gear to allow it into the armoire?

[agile laurel]

The same timing loop applies to Gnashing Fang with No Mercy

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a site or something to calc racial stats for end game stuff

[agile laurel]

gonna have to provide a specific example

[agile laurel]

they really don't matter. what you saw is probably the most notable example you'll ever see

[knotty lily]

Pretty sure racials make ~0% difference for endgame, truly 0.001% these days

[leaden ginkgo]

true, but i was mainly asking as i was purely curious. im not planning on changing my race i love the way my character is rn

[kindred light]

how about macro on monk's dps, 2nd dps, and aoe rotations which are not GCD skills?

[agile laurel]

Thats the level 70 set, isn't it? You'd need to go into Eureka, the Forbidden Land to get the items required to upgrade them (which also makes them dyeable)

[tropic plinth]

do subscription come with heavensward?

[grizzled niche]

Alright, thanks for the help guys, time to setup my hotbars correctly and have some fun

Have a good one.

[strange sandal]

Gotcha, thank you!

[agile laurel]

they'll still come out slow. macros will inherently be very delayed

[haughty peak]

If its for applying damage, never macro unless its a ground target aoe.

[knotty lily]

Note: In general, If an item Can go in the armoire, that little chest icon at the very top-right will be lit up
Since its not "lit up" for this specific piece, it can't be put in

[raven sage]

That set can't go into the armoire at all

[agile laurel]

...Wait. Yes. you're right. Only level 50 artifact gear can go in the armoire

[urban grotto]

best thing to do with all my equipment? I don't need it and I have a lot of it

[agile laurel]

forgot about that...

[kindred light]

so is it all in my head then? I don't feel a difference between 3 different buttons vs single macro

[desert ravine]

how many times can i get blade of lost antiquity in a week?

[knotty lily]

Save it for alt jobs when you level them? Or if they're green/blue, hand them in to your Grand Company for seals? If you're sure you dont need em.
Or save them in the dresser if you like the glamour, its all up to you. Theres even more options than this, surely (Desynth, etc.)

[haughty peak]

There is a vid showing macro vs none but I can't search for it atm. Its noticeably slower with macro.

[urban grotto]

ok, also, follow up question: can I mass select items?

[proud willow]

As of the most recent patch, there is no limit

[agile laurel]

The problem becomes unplayably obvious when you're trying to weave offglobals, which GNB is the biggest culprit for out of all the tanks. Macros do not buffer into the GCD at all, so if you're under any kind of animation lock or suchlike when you press a macro, it will 100% fail

[desert ravine]

Nice, thanks, i can just grind this a bit and get some sick weapon

[knotty lily]

Basically its a "Horrible Habit" to get into, not something you want to get used to for combat classes. Theres a few good examples of where macros are good for placing circle skills, or letting party know of Provoke / Rez, Shirking... etc. And for crafters ofc.
But for combat rotations, never macro - we learned this the hard way in 2013, people have been trying and failing to make it work this whole time :/

[steep marsh]

Hey guys i have two questions, im new (free trial) heading up to lvl 60, is it worth leveling up all DoH/DoL? Is it good or is not that worth doing it? Im currently miner lvl 50, botanist 40, LTW 50, GSM 50, but im struggling to find recipes that dont involve alchemy, fishing or weaving

Not from your inventories, nope

[steep marsh]

Second question is, the coins i get from lvl 50 dungeons are just worth for those right? Cant exchange them later for lvl 70 or 80 gear?

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

[faint flare]

It's this command btw

[urban grotto]

ah ok thanks

[narrow jay]

Do you mean Tomestones of Poetics?

[knotty lily]

IF You plan to really get into DoH/DoL, then its certainly helpful to level them -all-. Like, "All or nothing" because as you say, the problem only compounds as you level up - every crafter needs every OTHER crafter to work and breathe all the way up to the top

[steep marsh]

Yes exactly

[narrow jay]

Poetics are used for the best gear from each previous expansion, so yes, you'll use them at 60 and 70.

[knotty lily]

Poetics are indeed used for level 50, 60, and 70 gear all inclusive - and soon you'll be able to use them for Level 80 gear after Endwalker comes out. Crazy, right

[steep marsh]

Nice! Appreciate it

Thank you both

[narrow jay]

You get Poetics from doing just about everything, so it makes it really easy to regear alt classes, and there's certain weapon grinds that you use Poetics to buy mats for.

[knotty lily]

Poetics are forever, and ever, eternally there.. forever

[urban grotto]

oh, where do I turn in gear to my GC for seals?

[steep marsh]

There's another currency for DoL/DoH equipment, where i can get it?

[knotty lily]

Theres a person you can trade them to standing inside your GC HQ, forget the name - but you do have to be a certain rank to be able to do Gear hand ins (Expert Delivery) so just keep at it and you'll see it if you dont yet

[solar bison]

is there a good ACT skin that hides itself completely when not fighting?

[urban grotto]

kk thanks!

[tropic plinth]

I need some help. where do i get better item, i need item lv at 42 to Castrum Meridianum (im at 38 rn)

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

Open the coffer the lv50 quest gave you

Equip the i90 gear

[knotty lily]

You mean Scrips? Yellow Scrips and white scrips, they are attached to doing "Collectibles" for DoH and DoL. Its a whole seperate world of crafting and gathering but once you start, they're quite rewarding

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it just me or does it feel like Trusts got ninja nerfed XP wise, for your own character?

[tropic plinth]

Thank you

[faint flare]

They're weren't

[urban grotto]

is there a way to input coordinates on a map?

[twilit arch]

trusts give the same amount of exp as a player ran dungeon

[faint flare]

Ninja changes aren't a thing

[knotty lily]

Kinda, note that you can see your coordinates under your minimap - and if KB&M, hovering over the map will give you the coordinates under your mouse.
If someone makes a "Map Flag" and links you to a spot on a map ingame, it will pin those coordinates on your map for you

[urban grotto]

gotcha, thanks for your help!

[knotty lily]

You can also put down a Flag yourself and link it to others, fwiw

[true vault]

I know this isn't in-game mechanics or something, but has anyone notice more network usage while in a raid vs a dungeon?

[leaden ginkgo]

Double the players

Bigger bosses, etc.

🤔

[urban grotto]

How do I get to the goblet? I can't enter and it's very confusing

i'm probably over thinking it

[verbal rune]

So

[errant swan]

Asked this in the wrong chat, my bad.
Can I "overheal" the stamina in a Chocobo race?

[verbal rune]

Is there an emore for ||Emet-Selch|| salute?

[twilit arch]

go to the zone line in western thanalan, and hit select to enter the ward. if there's a specific ward you want to enter, click on that number first and then hit select

[wild dragon]

as a free trial no, its not worth it, mainly about the DoH, DoL, you can make no money from them and inventory management will be horrible and all the items you make you will be forced to sell it to vendor for a pitiful amount of gil unless you want your inventory to be filled really fast with items you have no use for.

[midnight sparrow]

can you not change your eye color with the aesthetician?

[wild dragon]

no

[urban grotto]

there isn't and I'm not able to join any

[midnight sparrow]

welp. wish I knew that when I picked it. 🥲

[leaden ginkgo]

@agile laurelthis guy has more hp than me too https://i.imgur.com/6GGecQl.png

everyone has more hp than me ;-;

even if i have better items

sadge

[wild dragon]

yeah i feel like eye color should be changed, maybe as eye lens or some magic to change color

[twilit arch]

you don't see a screen like this when you attempt to cross the zone line?

https://i.redd.it/zi03xfddm8f31.png

[midnight sparrow]

agreed. i like to match my hair to my eyes

[wild dragon]

same

[urban grotto]

i see that exact screen but for whatever reason when I click on one to view it I can't join?

[twilit arch]

hit select

at the bottom

to actually go to the ward

[urban grotto]

ohhhhhhhhh ok

thanks my eyes are about as useful as a pair of marbles

Does FFXIV have Authentication?

[weary jolt]

are there any cool mounts that i can farm or get while on free trial aside from the gold saucer ones?

[knotty lily]

2FA? Yes, via a software token (or a physical one). Highly recommend it, gets you a permanent free teleport too

[outer mural]

2fa? yes you can opt into it

not necessary by default

[twilit arch]

you can also use any, i believe, third party 2fa now

don't have to go with the SE one

[vagrant crescent]

Thank you :D

[knotty lily]

Trial players get access to Party Finder??

[twilit arch]

they can't make a PF

but they can join them

[vagrant crescent]

Yea. I can't create one sadly, lol 😂

[worn sluice]

Trying to complete a relic reborn bravura by doing a relic reborn: the chimera but no one is joining, am I supposed to solo?

[cunning loom]

how long have you waited

and what role are you

[knotty lily]

Well that might help Runal a bit
@weary jolt You'll have access to the Extreme fights available in ARR and HW, all of which drop a shiny Horse or Bird mount too

[worn sluice]

Like 20 mins, warrior

[cunning loom]

it might take a while since not all people have access to that trial

[knotty lily]

Keep waiting since you wont solo it - that Trial is only in a roulette and not available to people doing MSQ, so it would take longer to fill

[cunning loom]

since only people who bothered to start the arr relic have it

[dim marsh]

what specialized training should I focus on for squadrons?

[worn sluice]

One of the mentors joined my party but it said they weren’t eligible

[cunning loom]

are you using duty finder or did you make a party

[worn sluice]

First duty finder

[vagrant crescent]

Are there any way for me to do it with a different auth app?

Like maybe by scanning QR Code or something?

[worn sluice]

Then they offered to join and they weren’t eligible to join me with the duty finder

[knotty lily]

Maybe they havent unlocked it themselves? Would be wierd, tho 🤔

[slate arrow]

You can use Authy or Google Authenticator, yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[slate arrow]

We should update that faq actually

[vagrant crescent]

How do I do that?

[hushed nacelle]

So I befriended all of the Yokai during the Yokai Watch event which gives you the whisper mount, but I didn’t unlock flying at the time. Just finished ARR and unlocked flying, anybody know if I can get the mount now, since I have done the achievement for it?

[cunning loom]

...becaue they're a party of blue mages

[steep marsh]

Yeah we kinda do

[inland wadi]

got a bit of a weird question but like, how do i make friends in ffxiv? ;d? i'd join an fc but idk how to find a suitable fc

[weary jolt]

is that mount a low drop chance that the group rolls on similar to wow?

[raven sage]

You don't need flying to get the mount. If you got the achievement just grab it from there

[knotty lily]

Well the Community Finder is an alright place to start, its official and worth a look.

!faq communityfinder

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Community Finder

[knotty lily]

Yep, absolutely - they're less rare than they used to be but still random drop and random roll

[weary jolt]

Cool, can you cheese that content when you are level 80 and just solo it for the mounts?

[wild dragon]

how rare is that rare tho?

5% per try?

[proud willow]

mounts from previous expansions are about 25% drop rate

[inland wadi]

@knotty lilycheers boss

[wild dragon]

oh, thats higher than i thought

[knotty lily]

YYYEP, its cheese city if you're 80. For most of the early extremes anyways - some of them are balls easy but STILL need 8 people to not die to instakill mechanics.

[proud willow]

Current expansion EXs are lower, like 5-10%? Not sure

[weary jolt]

good to know, thanks yall. Im going to buy game once i hit 60 on free trial. Im an addict already

[knotty lily]

Yeah, give or take some percents. You could go 100 runs without seeing it still, if you're unlucky!

[leaden ginkgo]

ARR Ex mounts are around a 20% chance, except Nightmare which is.. Yeah, like 1-2% still

They increase drop rates for older content usually

[hushed nacelle]

Nvm figured it out, the reward was just unclaimed

[wild dragon]

theres also the fact that you have to roll the mount against other people in case it does show up dont you? i imagine that would make it that much more harder to get the mount

[crystal ravine]

im level 73 and just got to shadowbringers. im probably gonna hit 80 on my dragoon before it ends so should i get a second job and level it to where i am now so the exp i get from quests doesnt go lost?

[vapid nymph]

im just wondering if i switch to samurai can i use the glamour of ninja class quest set?

[leaden ginkgo]

ARR Ex can easily be solo'd, HW.. Kinda, maybe with 2 people

Everything else, good luck

[wild dragon]

only if it says ''all classes'', job specific gear cant be worn by otehr jobs

[vapid nymph]

even as glamour?

[wild dragon]

yeah

[vapid nymph]

thats sad i like it a lot

[spiral tinsel]

Can I send stuff to other worlds? I moved to NA and changed region on Steam but now I can't buy EU ShB or EW. If I buy new game in NA, what can I salvage?

And my character is in Japan, lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Agreed, but imagine White Mages running around with a sword and shield or armor sets

Its a necessary evil

[wild dragon]

just limit weapon glamours to jobs

[vapid nymph]

no i dont mean weapon i just mean armors

[wild dragon]

There's some cool items i've found but alas they're specific to a job so i cant wear it with my other ones, a shame

[vapid nymph]

obviously i wouldnt be samurai with daggers even if by some miracle it was possible it wouldnt seem right to me at all

[wild dragon]

I liked the Evenstar leggings or whatever it is called

but it is exclusive to mages as far as i remember

[tulip zephyr]

when is weekly scrips reset?

[autumn jetty]

Tuesday

[vapid nymph]

i was also wondering are glamours rare or can i just add anything i want to the collection? can you like buy them on market?

i never added anything to glamour yet so i dont know

[tulip zephyr]

so, in 7 hours?

[twilit arch]

!weekly

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Weekly Reset:

7 hours, 2 minutes, 41 seconds

[twilit arch]

yes

[tulip zephyr]

ty

[left cliff]

How is the primal data center my friend going to play but started in primal and I’m in aether

[wild dragon]

you can add anything as glamour afaik

[vapid nymph]

yes but the thing that allows you to add it inside is it rare or is it common cheap thing?

[tulip zephyr]

what's the best exp gain for gatherers?

[wild dragon]

Very easy to get

You can either craft it or buy it

[autumn jetty]

levequests, and diadem when you reach HW

[vapid nymph]

may i ask how much gil it is on market approx?

[tulip zephyr]

i want to powerlevel my botanist to 70 before doing ishgard restoration for crafters again

[verbal schooner]

Question: Do I rank up automatically just from doing beastmen quests or is there something I have to do every rank up

[vapid nymph]

i dont even know where market is i just know it exists

[rancid onyx]

iirc you cant play cross data centers until endwalkers drops

[tulip zephyr]

so, i just spam diadem with survival manual

[cursive leaf]

How do I find a raid group? I'm new to the UI.

[rancid onyx]

if youre just starting out you might aswell make a character on the other data center

[autumn jetty]

Look up the highests level item you have in your Gathering Log, go gather ~100 of them. Use the Commercial Survival Manual and eat food to get massive exp boost

That's good for a few levels. Rinse, repeat.

[wild dragon]

Depends on your server, in mine it costs around 200~250 per glamour prism, you can craft a huge amount of them tho

[left cliff]

Oh no I’m not new got a level 80 pld 😅

[vapid nymph]

im new and i just wanna do story and dungeons/raids for now maybe later i will get into professions

[wild dragon]

In that case buying it might be better then

what server you're playing on

[rancid onyx]

if your friend is just starting out just tell him to do a character in your data center

[autumn jetty]

Glamour prisms are cheap af. Don't sweat em.

Use them as much as you want

[vapid nymph]

Light - Odin

[twilit arch]

You can also buy prism very easily with grand company seals

[opaque heart]

Before I take the plunge and transfer my account to the Full Game, anything I should do/know? Any big things I should focus on first now that I have access to all the features? I'm lvl 60 a good ways into Heavensward, if that's relevant.

[twilit arch]

once you're sergeant second class and can turn in gear for seals

honestly no reason to buy prisms at that point

[left cliff]

Might be hard I’m on cactuar

[autumn jetty]

Grab a referral code for in-game bonus items

and en exp boost helm

up to level 25, i think

[opaque heart]

that's for when I set up my subscription, correcT?

[wild dragon]

Average price of the prism seems to be around the same in your server as well

[left cliff]

Oh well time to start over

[autumn jetty]

Yeah, you need to apply the code before you pay your first subscription

[opaque heart]

I bought the game on sale at like $23. I get a 30 month free trial, right?

Gotcha. yeah I plan to do that close to when my 30 days will be up I think

[vapid nymph]

referall code? can i still use that when im lvl 46?

[twilit arch]

you get 30 days free

[vapid nymph]

i guess not right

[autumn jetty]

so long as you haven't paid a subscription fee, you can still apply a code, afaik

level doesn't matter

[gusty island]

for tank shire accessories:
do i take custodians for all tanks? what about pankratiasts/conservator?

[twilit arch]

custodian yes

[opaque heart]

Guess I should get some retainers, sell gear I'm not using, and clear up some inv space

[vapid nymph]

well i did buy the all expansion and there was time with it so i guess i did

[twilit arch]

pankratiast is for melee, conservator is for physical ranged andn ninja

[leaden ginkgo]

Why can’t I dye my glamour with soot black dye?

[autumn jetty]

the time that comes with the game doesn't count against referral, i think. There's a difference between the 30 days that comes with purchasing the game, and actually paying for a subscription

[knotty lily]

Late but yes, sorry - all 8 people have the chance to roll on a mount drop so its randomizing your random randoms. Good luck!

[vapid nymph]

so i can get what by using referral code? and where do i find one?

[wild dragon]

Oof, thanks for answering.

[vapid nymph]

i can atleast give it a shot maybe it will work

[gusty island]

alright, thanks 😄

[narrow hill]

Apologies for the pestering, but I saw something on the internet about there being cyber-ninja gear(kind of like MG: Rising). I am wondering if this is still obtainable and how?

[autumn jetty]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/

and grab a code from http://reddit.com/r/ffxivraf

[wild dragon]

to use the code you need to have bought the game right, can you use it on free trial?

[knotty lily]

"Late Allagan Armor" maybe? Like this one for Ninja or other certain jobs

[autumn jetty]

need to buy the game, yeah. can't use referral on trial

[chrome island]

Can’t use it on trial
