questions-and-help

[serene lintel]

Can I completely change my character without starting all the way over? I completely misunderstood how this game work

[lone totem]

that's grand company

you select one automatically in the MSQ

Main Scenario Quest

[faint flare]

It does. If you want current content now then you need shadowbringers

[lone totem]

around Level 20

[modest igloo]

Are you at stormblood MSQ?

[lone totem]

so keep doing it and you will unlock it

[rigid meadow]

i see thanks. how do you open it's interface tho?

[harsh sun]

I'm only 34 atm

[lone totem]

you must be in a grand company in order to see its vendors

[rigid meadow]

gotcha.

[lone totem]

doesnt take very long to unlock

[faint flare]

If you want to access current content then you'll need shadowbringers. If you can wait until November then you can wait until endwalker

[harsh sun]

Ok thx ! 😄

[faint flare]

Remember you can't use dlc for a game you don't own

[nimble holly]

is there any way to resize tooltip windows without changing ALL ui element sizes? i saw a thread from 5 years ago where it seemingly used to be in hud layout but it doesnt seem to be there anymore

[ripe hound]

Kinda wish Stormblood gets included in Standard edition once EW releases

[faint flare]

And trial isn't ownership

[faint flare]

It won't cause it's in endwalker already

[lone totem]

there is, yes

[nimble holly]

how do

[lone totem]

you can adjust the size of any UI element freely

[leaden ginkgo]

i tried picking up all 3 but none will work :/ what am i meant to do i dont understand

[ripe hound]

I see, most likely

[lone totem]

under HUD Layout

[faint flare]

You need to find the right one

[leaden ginkgo]

how man is there? ive only found 3

[lone totem]

go to HUD Layout, select the Element you want to adjust, and then adjust it by clicking down R3

[faint flare]

There's multiple around which are wrong

[lone totem]

(or on PC, you press... some button)

lol

[faint flare]

Only 1 bag is right...it's in a alcove

[lone totem]

probably right click

[nimble holly]

yeah i have that button set, but the problem is that i cant seem to find an option/element for tooltips (hovering over an item for example)

[leaden ginkgo]

bruh its literally in a side cave thats basically out of the circle

thats succ

[narrow jay]

it does not

it makes you look around

[lone totem]

ah

it's called

[faint flare]

Oh it does that alot

[lone totem]

"Action Help"

[narrow jay]

instead of handing the game to you

[elder fern]

hey, is this true?
weaponskill means the spell is on the global cooldown, ability is off gcd?

[lone totem]

"Item Help"

[narrow jay]

yes

[lone totem]

I believe "Item Help" is the descriptions for items and key items

and I believe "Action Help" is for hovering over actions, traits, abilities, etc

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any problem if i skip the crafting story (still doing the job quests just will skip the dialogues)? because like every quest is just hello you need to craft this and gets boring

or is it important to understand something

[faint flare]

Only if you want to learn their story

[lone totem]

you lose out on Manipulation

[faint flare]

There is story for those characters

[leaden ginkgo]

how long should it take me to get relic from 485 to 520

[lone totem]

and Manipulation is super good

[boreal storm]

Ignoring the quests is bad, ignoring the story is less

[nimble holly]

i dont see it in any of the options 😦 and there inst a "box" for it on the hud visually any idea where its at? is there some settign i need to enable?

[lone totem]

oh I see

[modest igloo]

The only decent one imo is the 50-60 CUL and the ALC questlines

[solar bison]

shouldnt melee dps have higher base dmg than ranged?

[faint flare]

You don't lose out on manipulation by skipping text

They do

[lone totem]

yeah for some reason they werent doing the quests at all lol

[solar bison]

okay cool

[faint flare]

You need to split the tooltips from the mouse first in character configuration

For them to show up

[opaque heart]

Am I better off just selling off all the starting gear I get for classes I don't plan to play yet? I could always just buy it back later when I decide to really play that class

[lone totem]

oh really?

you have to set it to do that?

[faint flare]

Yes

Otherwise the game has no reason to show it in the hud editor

[lone totem]

oh you're right

I see the options now

[pure zenith]

you can do that if you want yes

[boreal storm]

You only get a weapon at the start iirc

[lone totem]

wow I honestly forgot those were options

[elder fern]

is there a way to keybind mousewheel up or down? cant seem to bind it myself. im used to control the camera distance with ctrl+wheel_up/down

[marble field]

@faint flare ey boss can i get weapons with poetic too? the guys weapon tab is empty

[nimble holly]

found it

ty all

[lone totem]

yup, tricky

I honestly forgot they even made those options, I wonder why they even did that

[faint flare]

From aurina Yes

Aka the other girk

[marble field]

maybe there are no weapons for samurai

there wasnt any option but there was armor

[faint flare]

There is

Weapons are always in a different vendor

Due to how you obtained them when it was current

The girl on the left does weapons

[marble field]

oh i see thanks alot

[viral mantle]

I have a spoilery question, is this the place to ask it if I use spoiler tags?

[faint flare]

Yes

[viral mantle]

Pre-heavensward question (right before): || So I got framed... and I am shook and out for blood. Do I get to kill those little dudes (the one who framed us and the one got alphinaud) or at-least get to send them to prison ||

[faint flare]

Do more story

You'll find out

[viral mantle]

if I don't || I am gonna delete that guys file and textures to feel better, this is simply not acceptable ||

[faint flare]

No story thread gets left unanswered

Ones that are get answered later, SE always plants stuff for later

[viral mantle]

Story is soooo good.

[lethal mist]

I'm watching the end credits of Shadowbringers and it's been like 20 min and still going. Can I skip or will there come something after this? I wanna go to bed 😂 First time I'm "caught up" I think so not sure how this works.

[faint flare]

Yes

You can always skip credits

[lethal mist]

Tahnks mate

[solar pawn]

sleep well you poor soul haha

[warm hawk]

When doing Mahatma grind for Zodiac Relic Weapons how do we get the bonus light? I haven't seen anything about it

[boreal storm]

Bonus light is random

[faint flare]

It's rng

[robust crow]

every 2 hours it changes

[faint flare]

Game picks a instance at random every 2 hours

[robust crow]

the only way to know is to go in on the hour dot and see if you get the bonus message

[faint flare]

No one tracks it these days

[warm hawk]

I did 41 Sastasha's with a friend for the Nexus and we never got a bonus

[wanton niche]

wtf is that?! 😄

[faint flare]

Then the game didn't pick it for the duration

[warm hawk]

Rip

[boreal storm]

Baby Pope chicken

[wanton niche]

where can i get that?

[faint flare]

Do the achievement

Then click on it

And you'll get it

[wanton niche]

i did it ._.

[opaque flint]

is there something i should upgrade when i level up ? like stat points or talent system

[faint flare]

Then you can click it to claim it

[leaden ginkgo]

i just unlocked/got to bozja what do i do here

[faint flare]

Nope

It's automatically

[wanton niche]

its full 😮

[faint flare]

Do the blue quests, it introduced the zone and how it works, then go do fates

Then click the reward

[boreal storm]

Click the minion Icon

[wanton niche]

AH

thank you!

[gritty lynx]

Is it normal for the FFXIV Steam version to be gone from the store? I live in SEA and it says it's unavailable on my region

[analog epoch]

What classes wear the late allagan armour?

[opaque heart]

What's the best way to sell stuff on the market board? Like the one with the best interface

[nocturne wyvern]

I think that's the designation for all the sets and then it's just based on class.

[nocturne wyvern]

Through retainers.

The other option is paying money on their app.

Which I don't recommend.

[analog epoch]

Just got the game but was trying to look at armour and what looks cool and I liked this look, so wasn’t sure how the game works yet

[opaque heart]

so I should check the other listings and try to undercut em? lol Cuz hooo boy their default asking prices are abyssmal

[nocturne wyvern]

Ah you can't list things on the MB as free trial, you can't either until MSQ level 17 progression where you unlock 2 retainers.

[nocturne wyvern]

Up to you.

[analog epoch]

I didn’t understand any of that lol

[nocturne wyvern]

So the main focus of the game is it's main story quests.

Around the time you get to the level 17 main story quests you get the ability to get retainers which are special NPC's that function as your bank and your ability to list auctions on the market board.

[analog epoch]

So I like the look of striking allagant armour, what class/profession/role would wear it?

Oooh

[boreal storm]

Mnk and Sam

[analog epoch]

What’s Sam

[faint flare]

Samurai

[analog epoch]

Coool

[valid lance]

What is act? I keep seeing it discussed on the subreddit but have zero clue what it is

[faint flare]

The 3 letter acronyms on gear tells you who equips it

[analog epoch]

Is that like a thief in gw2

[faint flare]

Dps meter

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

[viral mantle]

This cutscene... I am glad I started this game .

[young smelt]

Will turning on “join in progress” option in duty finder effect roulettes? Meaning I won’t get exp bonus?

[outer mural]

you will get the full exp bonus for completion

length of actually being within the instance does not necessarily matter for the roulette bonus

[young smelt]

Thank you.

[late coyote]

i got a bunch of antique item s from some dungs i got about 4 of em each representing a different piece of armour but i got no clue what to do with em? they don't sell for anything

[analog epoch]

Wait I can’t make a samurai if I’m a new player?

[faint flare]

Give them to an npc in mor Dhona for i90 gear

[outer mural]

it's an expansion job so no yo ucannot start with it
it's also from stormblood so you need the full game to unlock it later on

[faint flare]

Need to own stormblood and be lv50

[verbal rune]

Is exhairc gear the best thing I can buy from mb? And is it it better than nier raid drops/whatever else I can obtain from extra content?

[valid lance]

Get a job to 50 and purchase stromblood

[faint flare]

Augmented exarchic is the same ilvl as Tower gear

[late coyote]

do you know aprox wher or the name of the npc?

[analog epoch]

This makes me SAD

[verbal rune]

So it's the best thing I can get atm

[faint flare]

Only gear better than augmented exarchic is Blade gear in Zadnor, and augmented cryptlurker/Eden promise savage gear

[outer mural]

from the mb yes it's the only up to date armor you can get

[valid lance]

Is it easier to get than tower gear? I swear no fending gear drops from alliance raids

[outer mural]

yeah you just buy it

[faint flare]

Yes cause you can spam it

[outer mural]

but it's not as good as tower gear for substats if you care

[faint flare]

For gear

[outer mural]

if not go for it

[valid lance]

I ask because I want to get into savage/extreme and am currently trying to gear. I've been running nier raids but am having bad drop luck

[faint flare]

Just keep running it

[outer mural]

keep running it as tank yeah

[faint flare]

Or augment your exarchic

Same ilvl

[valid lance]

I don't have exarchic gear and Def don't want to spend all my Gil on it

[faint flare]

Then get spamming

[valid lance]

What about weapon? Is the relic the best option?

[faint flare]

It's the best weapon in the expansion yes

Since it's done

[outer mural]

yes relic is objectively bis and would be your best bet if you don't want to use your tomestones on the crpyt weapon and can't do e12s yet

just note it's a big grind the first time around

[valid lance]

I've only completed HW relics so far, but I don't mind the grind at all

[opaque heart]

the little notepad icon next to armory items means they're part of one of your gear sets, right?

[faint flare]

Plus if you do the relic you can get to Zadnor which has 525 armour

From Dalriada

[faint flare]

Yes

[normal dock]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/ i bought complete collector's edition but idk where to activate my key? when i try to log into the launcher with my account it doesn't work are do i need a separate account or something?

[faint flare]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[faint flare]

Codes in here

[valid lance]

Big red box at the top once you log in

[normal dock]

it says password incorrect

[faint flare]

It's your 14 account information

Not your SE store account

[normal dock]

can i use my steam linked ffxiv account?

tried but it said key was invalid

[faint flare]

Nope

Steam can't use SE store codes

You're hard locked to steam

Forever

[normal dock]

so i should make a new account for mogstation?

[valid lance]

If you bought the base game on steam then you had to buy expansions there too

[faint flare]

You need a completely brand new account

[normal dock]

okay yeah that's why i made a new account outside steam

[outer mural]

aye

[normal dock]

steam is a scam

[valid lance]

Hard disagree

[outer mural]

you'd have to restart with your charif you aren't using the steam version though

[normal dock]

oh

true

but i dont mind was only level 25 or something

[outer mural]

yeah i was gonna say

ifi t's not a big deal to you or you have little progress then go for it

[leaden ginkgo]

my partner keeps getting a patch issue when he downloads the game

patch 3014

30413*

anyone kno how to fix this?

Congested world just means world without character creation enabled?

[faint flare]

Congested means permanently locked to creation AND transfers

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah

[faint flare]

Pretty sure there's no congested world's currently

[thick dome]

Isnt steam way more pricey?

[outer mural]

nope

same price, just different sale timings

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i use these

[outer mural]

i don't have the research to say if sales are less frequent or anything but they don't occur at the same time

[outer mural]

talk to the resistance appraiser at base camp or on gangos

[honest summit]

How do I get to my free companies estate?

[normal dock]

only says playstation?

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[outer mural]

from Teleport menu

[honest summit]

Thanks

[normal dock]

or do i just enter the code here?

[valid lance]

Enter the code

[outer mural]

enter your code there

that is just a disclaimer for if you're playing on ps4/ps5

[valid lance]

It's just saying that Playstation players enter thier code upon first login into the game

[normal dock]

ah okay

[zinc kelp]

is the ilvl520 nier raid weekly still? or did they remove the loot restriction on it?

[outer mural]

removed

[valid lance]

They removed it

[zinc kelp]

ohh so can spam it to get full i520?

[valid lance]

Yup

[zinc kelp]

nice thanks

[valid lance]

Currently on that grind myself

[normal dock]

why they got it working with 2 seperate accounts XD

but i got it activated now thanks

[faint flare]

Cause ones for the store and ones for the game itself

[worn fog]

so im in mid stormblood i think and im curious how much left to finish the story

[outer mural]

like, as a whole or for stormblood

[worn fog]

as a whole

been playing for 300+ hours now

[gloomy bridge]

Does anyone know if there's a guide for BiS crafter/gatherer gear progression?

[worn fog]

390 to be exact

[outer mural]

like if you're around mid stormblood that is quantifiably around like 65% to 70% total since you still have post stormblood, shadowbringers and post shadowbringers left

[dull valley]

how many days does it take to get to sworn rank with the pixies?

[neon fog]

What level range is good to level an alt in Potd

[faint flare]

15-60

[neon fog]

Thanks

[faint flare]

If your ques at 15mins plus

[leaden ginkgo]

Should Frontline with daily bonus be enough to get to 80 on this job?

[neon fog]

I'm assuming have a pre made party of fc/friends will be most optimal?

[faint flare]

It should just about

If not you can probably just finish it with a fate or two

[outer mural]

i forget the exact number of days but it's in the range of 20 to 30 if you do them every day

let me get the exact number

[ripe hound]

I feel like it’s just not enough lol

[onyx finch]

is surecast a highly used spell in endgame content?

[faint flare]

Yes

If there's a knockback

You use it

[ripe hound]

Yes, as Knockback immunity

[faint flare]

There's way more knockbacks than many people realise

[kind rain]

is there somewhere to store miscellaneous items for crafting and what not

[outer mural]

The Dwarves, Qitari, Pixies, Namazu, Ananta, Kojin, Moogles, Vath, and Vanu Vanu "max out" reputation points at this rank -- going from Neutral to Bloodsworn can be achieved in a total of 31 days for Namazu, Ananta, Kojin, and Vath or 41 days for the Moogles and Vanu Vanu if players complete three of the highest reputation-giving quests a day. Less time is needed if you use more of your daily allowances for a particular tribe. To increase Moogle, Vath, and Vanu Vanu reputation to the true maximum rank, Allied, players must complete the Heavensward series of Allied beast tribe quests. There is an Allied beast tribe questline for Stormblood as well, but there will not be one for Shadowbringers.

[faint flare]

And many people don't just kd resist them

[outer mural]

retainers
if you're free trial, chocobo saddlebag's the only thing

[hexed zephyr]

accidentally did this, i have no clue how to change it

[outer mural]

click on the 2 next to your hotbar 2

[faint flare]

Character configuration > hotbars, can change how they look there

[outer mural]

that as wel lyeah

[faint flare]

Be it 12x1, 6x2 or whatever

[woven thorn]

I'm in a duty finder group for the Bowl of Emebers extreme trial and our duty leader is grayed out and gone. so our group went ahead to fighting on our own and all died. but we can't reset or leave now. We are in a state of all being stuck, dead, and unable to continue the trial. We can't vote to dismiss or do anything, we are just stuck here.

What do we do?

[outer mural]

you can leave while dead

he disconnected likely

[faint flare]

Sounds like they're massive lag out and in the void

Usually they dc and get kicked

[woven thorn]

We can'rt leave.

[outer mural]

you can put the button to pull up the duty finder and then hit leave

you can objectively leave regardless of being dead or not

oh wait no i forgot it doesn't let you in the middle of a fight

wow what a pickle, my bad

[woven thorn]

Yeah...

[outer mural]

uhhh, just wait i guess
he'll have to be ejected from the void eventually

[faint flare]

Usually doesn't take that long for the game to realise

[woven thorn]

It just fixed itself.\

[outer mural]

yeah there it is

[faint flare]

Yeah they finally got kicked

[outer mural]

go free

[faint flare]

Game realised

[kind rain]

where can i find retainers? is it effectively a personal bank?

and i'm not free trial

[outer mural]

Retainers are unlocked after completing the Main Story Quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn (Quest). To Unlock Ventures and Retainer Classes,you must complete the quest An Ill-conceived Venture (Side Quest).

Players can hire Retainers by talking to a Retainer Vocate near the Market Board of the 3 main cities. By default, you can only hire two Retainers, but you can add up to 7 additional retainers (for a total of 9) from the Mog Station on the Final Fantasy XIV Lodestone. The FFXIV Companion App also gives you an extra retainer (past that 9 for a total of 10) if upgraded to premium, alongside double Chocobo Saddlebag space.

[sweet leaf]

what am i doing wrong?
using the exact same exarchic gear, I am seriously struggling to manage my mana as AST but not having any problems managing mana with SCH

[outer mural]

clicking on one puts it to the inventory on your side if it's an item-related thing
or if it's an action you put it in one of the two slots

[outer mural]

what's ur piety

that also is weird because

[faint flare]

Are you using Cards on Cooldown

[outer mural]

ast has better mana econ than scholar

[kind rain]

thank you ❤️

[outer mural]

cards should be used on cd

[sweet leaf]

yes i always use cards

[faint flare]

Excess overhealing probably

With benefics

[outer mural]

you may just be using way more GCDs than you do o nscholar i suppose

using cards off cd generates more way more mana than aetherflow does

[eternal mortar]

yo guys do we know how much longer the sale on complete edition will last? i see it for like 25 usd on the square store

[outer mural]

energy drain notwithstanding

[sweet leaf]

i hardly benefic, i usually just use the 45s ogcd (i forget the name) and i only benefic 2 if that's on cooldown and someone gets low

[outer mural]

okay hold up

[sweet leaf]

and yeah it is weird, i have been told that sch generally suffers worse mana problems than the other 2

[outer mural]

what content is this

[sweet leaf]

80, using trusts

[faint flare]

!action Lightspeed

[zinc orbit]

**Lightspeed** : lvl 6 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces cast times for spells by 2.5 seconds.
Duration: 15s

Powered by XIVAPI

[outer mural]

[faint flare]

Yeah doesn't reduce costs anynore

[outer mural]

something is definitely missing here

i don't see how you 'd run out of mana if you barely use gcd heals

[faint flare]

Well with scholar you barely touch any gcd heals

[smoky furnace]

People say to not discard it, why is it?

[faint flare]

How the fuck are you running out of mana at 2k piety

The fuck

[sweet leaf]

i usually run out of mana on AST while spamming Gravity and casting cards but somehow AoW spam doesn't dent it as much when i use Aetherflow and Energy Drain

[faint flare]

!action Gravity

[zinc orbit]

**Gravity** : lvl 45 AST (600 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

it's the same mana cost, idk what it is

[faint flare]

Yeaaah

There's some gcd healing things going on I feel

[sweet leaf]

i'll have to get two separate recordings so someone can analyze my mistakes

[outer mural]

yeah please do so, something is clearly missing here

[faint flare]

You like never use gcds on scholar

[upper cove]

@smoky furnace youre free to discard it if you dint want it or dont need it anymore. This is a unique quest reward and can be bought back st the calamity salvage iirc

[brittle perch]

after you lvl your main class/job to max lvl, about how long will it take to max everything out

[outer mural]

you could probably use it on alternate jobs too though

but what niv said is accurate

[faint flare]

Like a week per job

[smoky furnace]

Alright thank you guys

[faint flare]

Give or take

[outer mural]

depends on how much you play and your rouletet luck but yeah a week a job with decent pacing

[raven sage]

You get it back by running the Quests again

Not the calamity salvaver

[upper cove]

@smoky furnace but yeah it's a good piece of gear for alt jobs at that level. Plus it looks good

[brittle perch]

tyvm

[upper cove]

Ah mb

[smoky furnace]

Also is there anything like Transmog in WoW, here in FF XIV?

[outer mural]

yes

[smoky furnace]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[queen gulch]

is the glamour dresser to only use entire sets? or is it possible to use single pieces from it too?

[opal sorrel]

Can you play ffxiv on pc and console on same accM

?

[smoky furnace]

THANKS! ❤️

[outer mural]

yes but you need to buy the gam on both

[outer mural]

yes to the second one

[queen gulch]

yes on? the 2nd?

[outer mural]

editted

[queen gulch]

alright cool, good to know

[analog epoch]

is there any "new" servers for EU players? where everyone else will be new ish?

[faint flare]

All of them

These days

With the vast amount of new players

These days

[upper cove]

To both actually. You can customize individual pieces. Also customise this thing called glamour plates that help you glam the entire set @queen gulch

[analog epoch]

i heard some servers have more french, or german, or is more elitist than others

[faint flare]

Only shiva and moogle

Are different languages

!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

i guess glamour dresser is even more useful than i thought before, seems like a big waste to use glamour prisms normally even though ive done that alot actually

[upper cove]

@queen gulch its excellent. But theres not enough space

[analog epoch]

so it says there are New servers with character creation bonuses

[queen gulch]

i saw something about 400 slots?

[upper cove]

@queen gulch yep 400. It runs out faster than you think

[leaden ginkgo]

you can but afaik you need to buy both copies on pc and ps4

[faint flare]

There are no new servers currently

[queen gulch]

seems like more than enough to me but i can see some of you make new outfits daily 😛

[faint flare]

There won't be new servers until Oceania data centre

[leaden ginkgo]

they're coming tho but they're not until after 6.0

[faint flare]

6.1

[outer mural]

due to the large amount of players coming in, preferred servers also do not exist

[faint flare]

Not 6.0

[outer mural]

new servers also aren't coming yeah

[faint flare]

Which is next year

[outer mural]

and they're only coming to OCE so it's not a gain to just transfer there because you'll lag to hell if you're in NA

[runic cairn]

*after 6.0

not necessarily with 6.1

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah its gonna be after

[sweet leaf]

i think Spriggan is the newest one? Spriggan was the last one to finish the Firmament construction

[faint flare]

It's newest but not classed as new

And by new it's like fucking 4 years old now

Since it came like stormblood time

[leaden ginkgo]

hey, so. When I started playing I rushed through the msq without paying attention to the story and now I kinda regret that decision of mine. Is there someway I can catch upp with the story up until stormblood ?

[runic cairn]

new game +

[outer mural]

NG+ or if you want a quick summary, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1je6Vyv2zhiAt2Rn7eBOMg5fOMk-59U5gd8YBx3zd-zw/edit#heading=h.fb3svup7pb51

[sweet leaf]

head into an inn and use the Neverending Journey, and also yeah NG+, but i haven't done that

[outer mural]

it includes everything so don't read too far

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah I finished the free trial and I'm waiting to buy the game

I'm not sure if I'll go through NG+ tough

[sweet leaf]

i've seen some touching stories of people with the free trial for over a year and still have things to do

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah I know, I'm still playing it. Farming for thhe anima weapon rn

[upper cove]

@queen gulch I thought it was a lot too and yea glamour is pretty addictive tbh

[leaden ginkgo]

but people told me that ffxiv has one of the greatest ff plots, so I don't wantt to miss out when I get into stormblood

[green grail]

HW is one of the high points

SB is kinda meh in comparison

at least imo dont eat me

[nocturne wyvern]

HW is the Elezen focused expansion! And as the King of all Elezen it's the best in my unbiased opinion. >:3

[narrow jay]

SB is overall the weakest expansion, I think, because I don't think the writers really understood what they set out to do with it; but it also has some of my favorite content across all three expansions

[leaden ginkgo]

SB on its own is a good expansion, its just that the ones that preceded and the one after it was just too good

[green grail]

yeah definitely

but if you're going for "one of the greatest ff plots" maybe read up on the ARR recap from the google doc and do HW through ng+

[west oar]

Any info on this week fashion report?

[vestal nest]

Can you get the non basic hairstyles on Viera's/Veena's?

Avaliable in 2 days, 11 hours, 4 minutes, 32 seconds

[obsidian patio]

Last week

[faint flare]

Gotta wait until friday

[knotty lily]

Ah yeah thats last

[faint flare]

For solutions

[narrow jay]

For example (SB and post-SB spoilers) ||The Dawn/Dusk Throne segment in the Azim Steppes, and the whole story with Yotsuyu that culminated in the Tsukuyomi trial in the patch quests|| were extremely well done, I thought.

[west oar]

Oh I forgot I about that

[warm snow]

That's last week, judging doesn't begin til Friday so there's no solution

[upper cove]

@narrow jay yea I loved those parts

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah it was a banger

[knotty lily]

Bad reflex

[upper cove]

Tbh, even the less liked parts. Like the politics and stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed

[twilit rampart]

so uhhh... I just a while ago unlocked HoH. I did a lot of potd and I was looking forward for it. But I keep dying in the first part over and over again. I cant even collect the weapon and armor upgrades since they dont apprently get saved unless I kill the boss.

so... how do you deal with the first levels?

[leaden ginkgo]

SB had better fight designs than HW tho

[twilit rampart]

Solo

[warm snow]

#general-discussion perhaps lads

[warm snow]

Solo, git gud/lucky is about the only advice I can offer. I'd recommend just dealing with the long queues for 1-20

[leaden ginkgo]

Why do I have to get penalized when I leave a failing instance?

Like everyone started leaving so I did too then I was penalized for 30mins

[warm snow]

First to leave: penalty

You were the first to leave

[twilit rampart]

I mean i did get through it once. Just once. I have since then wiped 4-5 times without gettign to the boss again

[crisp perch]

Where can I obtain the biggest of hats so Sir.Plop can live up to his name?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh bet so the raid before doesn’t matter

[leaden ginkgo]

they probably were only disconnected

[warm snow]

Actually leaving is different from dcing

[knotty lily]

If someone DCs they havent actually "Left", because if they come back they're still part of the duty

[dusty jungle]

Im no expert. But the BLM and samurai hats are a good starting point

[leaden ginkgo]

red mages also has fancy hats

[steel wedge]

can someone link current BM BIS?

[quiet gyro]

hey guys! So i have an really old account with only 2months playtime back in the day with the ARR collectors edition. What do i need to buy? Shadowbringers? Or all expansions?

[leaden ginkgo]

I know melding tenacity is rare. But. Does anyone know if tenacity gives more bulk compared to det? Im trying to understand the difference between the two. But every time I ask about tenacity, I’m told not to use it without an explanation.

[dusty jungle]

omfg

[warm snow]

It doesn't

@dusty jungle that's amons hat from sycrus tower

[leaden ginkgo]

Shadowbringers if you want to play now

[warm snow]

Depends on how far you think you'll get between now and november

Heavensward is now free for everyone so you have that

[quiet gyro]

okay thank you so i dont need to buy stormblood just the latest if i only have arr?

[warm snow]

Preordering Endwalker will give you stormblood and shadowbringers when it releases in november

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[warm snow]

Or you can buy shadowbringers to get both stormblood and shadowbringers

You can't buy stormblood on its own

[quiet gyro]

okay awesome!

[open ember]

Does the completing BLU logs need to be synced or can you unsync the duties

[quiet gyro]

thanks

[warm snow]

Synced iirc

[solar ice]

How do I find a group to consistently raid with? It feels so hard to meet people lol

[warm snow]

Join a static

[open ember]

K thx

[solar ice]

How

[faint flare]

Recruitment channels/discords

[warm snow]

Look in #recruitment-crystal

[faint flare]

Party finder sometimes have static recruitment

[warm snow]

Or check #resources for a crystal discord

[faint flare]

R/ffxivrecruitment

As well

Many places for static recruitment

[solar ice]

Is there groups that will take first timers

[warm snow]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Does tenacity have any positive traits that other attributes don’t have? Even if it may be considered unnecessary.

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

Very slight damage mitigation and smaller damage up than det

[warm snow]

It's just weaker determination for tanks only

[faint flare]

It's literally just poor man's det

[lucid narwhal]

Hi, is there a way to check how many extreme trials ive completed?

[warm snow]

Check in duty finder if you have a tick on the trial

[steep heron]

When I desynth something, what determines if my desynth levels up or not?

oh, so its its marked with a ✅ ?

[faint flare]

Yes

If you've done it

Goes for all duties

[warm snow]

Items desynth level can be at minimum 50 levels below own desynth level

So if you're desynth level 510 and you're desynth ing something level 450: no exp

[steep heron]

okay ty

[ivory dawn]

as someone who just hit level 50 on their first class/character ever, is it worth me preordering End Walker for the 30% EXP Bonus? I do plan to level other classes in the future.

[warm snow]

More exp is more likely exp

[ivory dawn]

leads me to my next question lol, will the 30% earrings be available in the future? or is that unanswerable

[hot eagle]

pre-order only

[warm snow]

No

Once Endwalker preorders close an equivalent earring won't be available until preordering the next expansion, 2 years later minimum

[ivory dawn]

2 years, wowe

thx for the info

[warm snow]

We only get expansions every 2 years

Ish

Endwalker would probably be out by now ish if not for <CURRENT YEAR>

[ivory dawn]

thats nice tho, gives the devs a decent window to work with

[warm snow]

We get patches every 2-3 ish months over those 2 years with more content

[ivory dawn]

oh cool

keeps tings fresh

[deep oak]

Do pre orders usually close early? Or can you pre order up to the day before release?

[warm snow]

No idea

[faint flare]

Day before release

Is the final time

[warm snow]

But I've heard they'll probably close around when early access starts

[faint flare]

Once official launch hits. That's it

[warm snow]

Which is the 19th of November

[deep oak]

Yeah that makes sense. Ty guys!!

[faint flare]

Can't really preorder something that's out

[warm snow]

If you're a big ff4 fan you'll want the preorder minion too

[valid lance]

How does housing work? If I'm married in game do both me amd my spouse own the house or only the person that buys it? I haven't bothered to touch housing but want to try when endwalker drops

[faint flare]

Only the person who owns it but you can make people tennants

[tacit atlas]

Only the person that bought it

[faint flare]

And give them various permissions

But only the owner can reset the timer for personal houses

[valid lance]

Okay, so I would still have to visit to make sure it doesn't get demoed then?

[faint flare]

Yes

Only FC houses let anyone in the Fc reset it

[valid lance]

Got it 👍 are there separate houses for players and fc?

[faint flare]

Same zone

[tacit atlas]

They are the same

[narrow jay]

Not yet, but apparently there will be come 6.0/6.1.

[faint flare]

They're making solo and FC wards when ishgard comes

Or around there anywau

[warm snow]

So we're downgrading to housing EXTREME

[narrow jay]

hopefully

[steel wedge]

can somebody please link BM BiS?

[tacit atlas]

BM?

[runic cairn]

[deep oak]

[tacit atlas]

Do you mean like blacksmith or

[faint flare]

!faq blmbis

[zinc orbit]

5.5 BLM BiS

Speed 3655 SpS Tier
Crit 2030 SPS Tier
SMN/RDM-Friendly BiS (can use the SMN/RDM BiS w/o swapping melds):
Use the "Speed 3655 SpS" Tier set for BLM, and use SMN/RDM BiS on the other casters. Shared pieces between the sets have no meld conflicts.

Pros/Cons of the BiS:
"Speed BiS": higher base output, but less variance. Has some volatility in terms of MP ticks in UI
"Crit BiS": slightly lower base output, but higher variance. Does not run into similar MP tick issues as with the SpS set

See here for alternatives both with and without relic, or save a copy to min-max your own custom set. Generally recommended to maximize ilvl when possible while gearing up.

Does anyone know what the chance of getting catgirl recruits in the squadron is? I keep getting elezens and roegadyns

Thanks a lot

Can never promise that one persons keybinds will work for another person, its very subjective - but here anyways. Mouse buttons and ZXCV are heavily used for me as you might notice

Good luck

any idea why i can't get this aether current? dravanian hinterlands

thanks i just need to optimise mines they're very scuffed

[heavy wadi]

Maybe you got it already?

[knotty lily]

Note that no matter what level you are, you can affix all skills to your hotbar on every job.
If youre not 80 yet, you dont have to wait until you're 80 - although if you dont understand what all the skills do so of course you're welcome to wait too

[trail tiger]

it's literally the first time i'm here

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i'm only level 45 rn 🥲

[trail tiger]

you should try palace of the dead, you'll be level 60 and learn new skills

[knotty lily]

No worries. Its a way to future-proof yourself and prevent changing muscle memory down the road, but isnt required!
If you POTD-

Yeah that. You can always test out level 60 before you even get there in POTD!

[chrome island]

Can ANY type of (SFW obviously) recruitment be done in the recruitment channels (like if I wanted wedding attendees, could I ask in there)?

[leaden ginkgo]

if you don't mind me asking what do you have binded to sprint/teleport etc?

[knotty lily]

Sprint is CTRL+V for some reason, I'm just used to it

But for Teleport, Return, Limit Break, Mounts, Signs and other miscellany I keep those OFF of my combat bars, and put them on some small Vertical Hotbars on the side, out of the way:

[ivory dawn]

i thought that said 'could anyone share their keyboard warrior keybinds?' 🤣 and posted my bard keybinds

[zinc orbit]

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[obsidian python]

do i need to do a questline or something before that?

[warm snow]

And that includes dark knight

[faint flare]

Yes

The story

[obsidian python]

yeah i reached 50 via msq

[warm snow]

No edgy Boi for you until you finish all the arr patch content

[faint flare]

It's 80 quests after Ultimate weapon

[brittle valve]

Noob question. What is 104 face for Miqo’te?

[obsidian patio]

Sounds like a custom model

[obsidian python]

how do i get to the pillars?

im trying but i cant

do i have to buy shadowbringers?

[narrow jay]

The Pillars is the upper area of the main Ishgard city

so no

you do not

[leaden ginkgo]

are most of the new EU players on twintania from light?

[faint flare]

No. New players are everywhere

[primal gull]

you know there's a free trial right

with dozens if not hundreds of hours of free content

and no restrictions on play time

including the award winning Heavensward expansion

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah that sucks

[primal gull]

yeah true

but nobody is going to buy the game for you my friend

[leaden ginkgo]

and 300k gil maximum

[faint flare]

To make it harder for bots to spam people

[narrow jay]

Yeah, that's unfortunate, but it was a restriction set in place to prevent scammers and botters from starting up free trials to hawk their shitty goldselling websites, and to attempt to curtail and minimise player harrassment.

[nocturne wyvern]

Bad memories of when people had to disable tells because the RMT would spam them. >_<

[primal gull]

yeah now the RMT just spam in say chat

much better by comparison

[leaden ginkgo]

@leaden ginkgo you'd fully know if the game is for you when your trial ends.. i bought the game mid first expansion after i quit wow

[primal gull]

Unidentifiable ore/bone/seed/shell, pneumite, singing crystal, umbrite are all used for HW relic

[hard aurora]

i smell an anima relic grind

[old pewter]

I know the MSQ throws gear at you like no body's business, but i'm currently lv78 on the last part of HW MSQ cuz i tend to run roulettes when friends are on, should I just go ahead and grab gear for my level or?

[clever plinth]

hi all, i'm a free trial player that is trying to grind out my ARR relic for the glamour, and i'm at the part where you need tons of materia. so i've been trying to spiritbond with lvl 41-44 gear but it seems like the spiritbond % never goes up unless i do dungeons. i know about the +/- 10 ilvl requirement so i only do dzamael darkhold, but killing lvl 40-45 mobs does nothing to my spiritbond % even after i kill tons and tons of them, was wondering if there's something i'm fundamentally missing and sorry for the wall of text

[primal gull]

Not much point in getting gear for your level tbh, since any content you'll be doing you'll be synced down in and your stats will get adjusted

[narrow jay]

Augmented Scaevan gear is still the best gear you can get until you hit max level.

[old pewter]

makes sense

[primal gull]

Can't get scaevan until you finish the SB story, though

And they are still in HW

[narrow jay]

OH I read ShB my bad

[modest igloo]

well i mean once you hit 80 you can buy 510 gear

that would carry you lol

[primal gull]

Assuming you could afford it yeah

[sick lotus]

I can't get the second hotbar to work. it is defaulted to ctrl-1, ctrl-2, ctrl-3 for all the buttons but when I press control-1, the spell doesn't do anything. What am I missing here?

[primal gull]

But it wouldn't really matter since any content would be synced

[narrow jay]

I think there's a lot of potential variables here, so without more info I don't think anyone will be able to answer your question.

[obsidian patio]

Can you take a picture of your hotbar?

[vapid nymph]

what is "the hunt"?

[obsidian patio]

Allied/Clan Centurio/Clan Nutsy hunts

[sick lotus]

hotbar 2, first slot is addle, which I can use on a target by clicking on it with a mouse. it has a long cooldown of course, but even if the cooldown is open, the only way I can cast it is to use the mouse, not control-1

[narrow jay]

and it doesn't go on cooldown, and you don't see the status debuff appear under the target's health bar?

[sick lotus]

right. it's not activating at all. I've tried dragging other spells that I know work such as ruin, and I can't get them to work with control-#

[obsidian patio]

Does the bar work if you bind it to something else?

Might be a keyboard-specific issue

[sick lotus]

Maybe. If I change the hotkey for that button in the settings to something else, like shift-1, it works

[narrow jay]

Do other normal shortcut commands like Ctrl+C still work?

[primal gull]

sounds like your ctrl button might be broken?

[faint flare]

The Hunt are those random high level mobs you see in the field. Those are hunt mobs

[sick lotus]

It's not. though

[primal gull]

🤔

[sick lotus]

When I go to assign a new hotkey, I can press control and the game recognizes it

[primal gull]

That's.....really odd

[faint flare]

Ones with blue mark need a bill from the hunt board to get the currency, ones with red marks are intended for groups and give you currency on kill

[narrow jay]

hmmm. without being physically present, and without asking some really stupid-sounding questions to dummy check things, i'm not sure what else can be done

[cunning loom]

is there a function button on your keyboard

[sick lotus]

It's just control then a number specifically...contrl-r for example, works just fine

[cunning loom]

https://superuser.com/questions/223941/ctrl-1-and-ctrl-2-key-combinations-dont-work

how about ctrl + 4-9

[obsidian patio]

Might be computer-specific binds then?

do you have to have beaten HW to get shire gear? Just my friends 60 atm so wasn’t sure if he could

[strange haven]

hello, i just hit level 25 in the steam free trial and was wondering if it was possible to transfer to the windows version if i bought the full game through sqenix.

[chrome island]

No

[runic cairn]

it's not

[chrome island]

Once you go to steam you’re stuck on it

[sick lotus]

I think you're on to something here, the issue is definitely only control1-3 like someone else mentioned. I do have GFE installed, and would want to keep it. what's annoying is I don't have control1-3 bound to gfe. 😦

[slow isle]

Is /r the only way to respond to cross server people? I post party finders and try to respond, but it can’t ever be sent.

[slow isle]

How does that work then? Don’t play the free trial?

[chrome island]

You can play the trial away from Steam

[slow isle]

I’m on console but I wanna move to pc at one point. Being stuck though?

[narrow jay]

No, it just means that each different method of accessing the game requires a unique game license, and they don't mix.

[obsidian patio]

Console is independent of how steam/nonsteam license works

Only steam and nonsteam PC conflict license-wise

[strange haven]

well heres to waiting for a steam sale then

[grizzled nexus]

Where can i find someone that can help me with setting up a Kupo Bot?

[grave stirrup]

Do I have other options on boosting my miner ilvl thats not through the auction?

[faint flare]

Make your own gear

[primal gull]

If you are above 50 you can gather collectibles, turn them in for scrips, and turn the scrips in for gear

[faint flare]

Scrip gear at 60/70/80

[grave stirrup]

im 75 atm am i able to collect for 80?

[primal gull]

not with any real success no

[faint flare]

No

Cause 80 uses white scrips

Not yellow

[primal gull]

level 80 scrips are different from 50/60/70

[grave stirrup]

wait is this like an upgrade system or can i just start gathering them once i finally hit 80?

[primal gull]

Turning in level 80 collectibles gives white scrips

Instead of the yellow scrips you get for turning in lower level collectibles

[terse grail]

its basically like poetics vs other tomestones.
poetics = yellow scrips
current tomestone (revelation for example) = white scrips

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the benefit of not doing the old trials with min ilvl / no echo?

Much easier?

And still mounts?

[faint flare]

Lol no

[grave stirrup]

hrm alright ty

[faint flare]

There's no benefitd

[terse grail]

the only reason to do them minilvl no echo is for the experience

[faint flare]

And it'd harder cause you're not outgearing it

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea thats what i meant

So its more fun to do so

[terse grail]

you can unsync them at level 80 to blow through them for the same rewards

[tropic plinth]

how do i get to coerthas faundation?

[leaden ginkgo]

So it would be a nice challenge to do everything min ilvl at least once

[primal gull]

You have to complete the storyline all the way up to the start of Heavensward

[obsidian patio]

If the story hasn’t taken you there yet you can’t get to it.

[terse grail]

in a way yes, but do keep in mind with the amount of changes to the game and changes to jobs over the years, its not gonna be the same experience as it was back then and its going to be much easier since you dont have as many buttons to press since you are a lower level

but its still a fun challenge

[tropic plinth]

thanks

[unreal badge]

its scaled but cast is 2/3 of prae

but also 2/3 the time

or even half

[primal gull]

it's 25 minutes vs 45 iirc

[cosmic widget]

is it possible to wear both augmented cryp rings?

[modest igloo]

nope

[terse grail]

not until 6.0 no

[narrow jay]

yeah, the only way to have two 530 rings is to get a Savage tier one

[modest igloo]

e9s ain't too bad

[atomic jewel]

is there a way to get bravura besides the class quest? Because I don't have it, and the calamity scavenger doesn't sell it

[modest igloo]

esp with 15% echo

[primal gull]

Bravura is the warrior relic, the only way to get it is to do the relic questline

[atomic jewel]

I remember getting bravura, but it just deleted itself

[terse grail]

did you get a weakened version of it while you were doing the first quest of the relic?

the best way to check is to see if you have completed the quest for the initial relic weapon and have the achievement

if you havent completed that first quest, then the calamity salvager will not sell it to you

[atomic jewel]

i remember i did

[terse grail]

yes, you probably didnt actually complete the step

[atomic jewel]

im level 56

[primal gull]

Yeah, my guess is you're still in the first part of the questline

[terse grail]

the weakened version is just part of the quest

[primal gull]

The first part of the relic questline is actually like 13 steps long

[atomic jewel]

and ive done all the warrior quests up to this point

[terse grail]

its not a job quest

the ARR weapons arent part of the job quests, they are from doing the relic quest

[vapid nymph]

is this ability only for pvp or it has uses for pve too?

[terse grail]

useful in endgame content to help mitigate physical tankbusters

[warm snow]

10% less physical damage is 10% less physical damage

[primal gull]

best bet is for you to head to North Shroud and head to to the northeast part of the map where Gerolt is, and see what quest he has for you

[atomic jewel]

ok, thank you

[vapid nymph]

okay i just became samurai and like sorting my skills out

[faint flare]

It's near mandatory for high end raid to help mitigate physical busters and help the tanks with autos

[vapid nymph]

and leg sweep?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it hard to find other people to do min ilvl trials with through party finder?

[vapid nymph]

is that also good to stun some ads or?

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone exp with it?

[vapid nymph]

is leg sweep kinda like "interrupt" in this game?

[faint flare]

Majority of bosses are stun immune

It's more a solo thing

[terse grail]

no, theres a separate inturrupt skill. only tanks and physical ranged jobs have it

[faint flare]

Only tanks and physical range have interrupts

[vapid nymph]

and for dungeon? can you stun a mob that does some aoe to prevent it?

[faint flare]

Only trash mobs

[terse grail]

they can be useful situationally in raids, but you can use them on dungeon trash as well if you want

[faint flare]

Basically every boss past arr is stun immune

It's mostly dungeon trash that's stunnable

And white mage holy deals with that

Stuns are neat while soloing and that's mostly it

[vapid nymph]

and i dont get this skill

like idk what it actually does

[sick lotus]

lol, nvidia support told me to uninstall and reinstall geforce experience. lol

[faint flare]

You get your positional bonuses

For the duration

Regardless where you are

[cosmic widget]

does unsynced trial runs count toward the tank mount achievement?

[vapid nymph]

oh

[faint flare]

Samurai gets positionals at 52

[vapid nymph]

thanks

[primal gull]

some abilities/combos do more damage or have extra effects when you hit an enemy from the flank or rear

[terse grail]

!faq positionals

[faint flare]

Yes

[zinc orbit]

[primal gull]

True North lets you ignore those

[robust crow]

what are all the emotes you can do with your weapon?

there's vpose, what else

[primal gull]

bstance

[faint flare]

Bstance

[primal gull]

cpose

[vapid nymph]

this one is useful too?

or pvp stuff

[faint flare]

Yes it is

[primal gull]

Yes, it prevents knockbacks

[faint flare]

Anti knockbacks

[robust crow]

thanks for bstance

[faint flare]

There's ALOT of knockbacks

And that basically nullified near all of them

[vapid nymph]

so its good but i guess for someone who knows nothing it will be meh until i learn mechanics

[faint flare]

It's a very common strat to do whenever possible

Once you know what skills are knockbacks you can anti kd them

[terse grail]

@vapid nymph basically every skill in this game is useful, there are rare situations where a skill isnt used so its a good idea to put everything on your hotbar, some are more situational than others, but almost everything is useful somewhere

[warm snow]

Laughs in fluid aura

[terse grail]

undraw

repose

[narrow jay]

cure 1

[terse grail]

technically fluid aura and repose can be useful in eureka or bozja

[robust crow]

and cure 1 has use in ultimates

[terse grail]

and cure 1 technically can be situationally useful for extremely high levels of play where the difference between dying and living can be .5s

[vast surge]

does anyone know if exodus is a preferred server or is those still a thing

[terse grail]

as well as useful at level 50 where whm MP management is garbage

[spare moth]

how do you get a chocobo issuance?

[leaden ginkgo]

Does the SAM 20 kenki ability buff the DoT or does it just buff the initial damage of the DoT?

[obsidian patio]

Buy it from the quartermaster

[obsidian patio]

Buffs the whole skill

[terse grail]

it buffs the entire duration, a good rule of thumb is to always use kaiten on any Iajutsu ability

[terse grail]

there are currently no preferred servers on NA or EU due to the influx of players

[vast surge]

ohh ok thank you!!

[warm snow]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't specifically buff the duration

Dots snapshot their damage over time based on when they're cast

So any dmg buffs on a buff will effect their entire duration

[slow isle]

Sure, if you do roulettes. I don’t know how you can fit every skill without customizing the hot bar.

[terse grail]

yes i know the technicalities, i was just trying to put it into simple terms

[terse grail]

every job only needs 3 hotbars max for all their abilities

[narrow jay]

yes, after that it's just a question of making keybinds that feel good to you

[terse grail]

or if you are on controller, the full extended WXHB + the left/right trigger hold is 40 slots

3 hotbars on a keyboard is 36 slots

[broken cairn]

can you only use Over-aspected Clusters in Eureka?>

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[analog wren]

Hi everyone. Is there a way to see what account a character belongs to in the The Lodestone? I have the character name but I cant remember my account name.

[obsidian patio]

You can’t

[spiral inlet]

!faq manipulation

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named manipulation exists, Kupo!

[spiral inlet]

hmmm

does that skill

give back 5

at the cost of 10?

[faint flare]

It's action

[spiral inlet]

so you waste only 5?

[slate arrow]

!action manipulation

[obsidian patio]

!action manipulation

[zinc orbit]

**Manipulation** : lvl 65 CRP (96 CP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores 5 points of durability after each step for the next eight steps.

**Manipulation** : lvl 65 CRP (96 CP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores 5 points of durability after each step for the next eight steps.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

you get back 40 points of durability

[spiral inlet]

how is that different then

waste not II

[faint flare]

However you will still fail if it's at 10 durability

[obsidian patio]

Waste Not doesn’t work on skills that don’t use durability

[faint flare]

Cause manipulation still heals even I'd you don't use durability

[wheat plume]

dummies in stone sky sea have the exact same HP as the bosses?

[slate arrow]

no

[obsidian patio]

No

[spiral inlet]

ahhhh

[wheat plume]

what's the deal with sky stone sea then?

[spiral inlet]

generally

do you wan to use manipulation

if you got it unlocked

then

[faint flare]

Yes

It's extremely strong

[slate arrow]

it's a basic DPS "check" for your own personal use

basically saying "if you can do this much DPS on this dummy, you're fine and your DPS is not a problem"

unfortunately, it's solo only any doesn't take into account party buffs

also also, it's not consistent between jobs

[wheat plume]

so it's not useful, but at least is somewhat useful as dps indicator.
The fact that it isn't consistent between jobs means that every job can kill the dummy but some do it faster, or is it that some jobs seem bad against dummy but it's ok because there are no buffs

[ripe hound]

But yeah, it's more like, I think,
If you can kill this, you "should" be fine
If you can't kill this, then something is probably horribly wrong

[obsidian patio]

(Assuming the dummies are properly tuned)

[wheat plume]

can i restart it in the same place without returning with the npc?

[ripe hound]

btw, in general, there isn't really any job that can't kill the dummy, but the same rotation with the same gear can do 25+ parse right?

[obsidian patio]

There’s been cases of dummies being overtuned for their encounter

[ripe hound]

Hun

[obsidian patio]

Like Shinryu normal

[ripe hound]

I see

Wow fuck that thing in particular

I think Shinryu normal was just.. a special fight

[wheat plume]

dummy for a lvl 70 savage, syncs my lvl and ilvl ?

[spare moth]

how do i get the currency for it?

[twilit arch]

no

[obsidian patio]

Do your next story quest

[spare moth]

i feel like maybe i should've paid more attention

[ripe hound]

Like, it's an MSQ fight,
First mechanic in the fight is a knockback that kicks you off the platform

[twilit arch]

you are not sync'd for SSS

[leaden ginkgo]

Need some help if possible i'm on the "city of the first" quest and I needed to attune to the aetheryte in the crystarium but I tp'd out before attuning and idk how to get back over there could someone help me

[obsidian patio]

Go back to the boat that took you to the Syrcus trench

[wheat plume]

can I restart dummy fight in the same place, without getting out to talk with npc again?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[leaden ginkgo]

i can't remember where that was i did it earlier today and went afk

[wheat plume]

between mordhona and crystal tower IIRC

[obsidian patio]

Like x30, y15 in Mor Dhona

[ivory dawn]

can anyone help me with this story quest on siren? my name is Bong Rips

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[tough jetty]

im a lvl 30 thutmage how do i become a black mage?

[primal gull]

Do your class quests

[tough jetty]

did that

[lethal seal]

i’m not sure if this is the right channel to go to but i’m a returning playing and i had a one time password, i cant access my one time password app and it appears i had to reset my actual acc password as well because i had forgotten it but now i need to type in a one time password to be able to reset that, so i’m basically locked out of my acc

[tough jetty]

just killed the little kid who smoked pot

[primal gull]

also have to be caught up to low 20s MSQ

[tough jetty]

i dont know what this means xD

[primal gull]

The main scenario quest

[tough jetty]

ohh

[primal gull]

You need to have done it up to a certain point

[tough jetty]

i dunno which one is the msq im just doing whatever i see

[lethal seal]

it has a very distinct symbol on it

it tells you your msq top left

[tough jetty]

is lord of the inferno an msq?

[tough jetty]

WOAH it is

[brittle valve]

I know Guardian corps coat and skirt can be found in calamity salvager, but under which section?

[tough jetty]

thanks alot

[lethal seal]

anyone know where i can get some help with my acc 😅

[lethal seal]

np!!

[primal gull]

this symbol denotes a main scenario quest

you should always prioritize them

[heavy jewel]

I sold a bunch of my gear i got from leveling and story quests is there no way to get them back for glamour?

[spiral inlet]

How hard is it to get skybuilder tools?

[lethal seal]

am i allowed to dm a mod?

[hasty turtle]

is there a way to turn off/down vfx of allies

gunbreaker aoe is really annoying

[twilit arch]

if you need to contact the mods open a #discord-modmail

[lethal seal]

@twilit arch ty

[cosmic widget]

i can't seem to get /blist to work it just says it's not a valid pc name. is there another way?

[hasty turtle]

tyvm

[narrow jay]

o7

you can see where my thumb slipped off of my DPI-slash button in the upper right corner there lol

[lethal seal]

how does modmail work 😅 , after i submit a ticket that is

[twilit arch]

should get a dm from kupo bot

[iron oxide]

is there a better grand company to join?

[lethal seal]

ye it said my ticket was opened?

[twilit arch]

now wait for the mods to reply

[lethal seal]

oh okay, tysvm!

[obsidian patio]

Nah

[twilit arch]

nope

[iron oxide]

cool ty

[median sierra]

Does it matter if I hit the monster from front or the back? is there some parry / block from front only?

[leaden ginkgo]

The only time it matters is if you have a positional boost on an ability iirc

[obsidian patio]

Monsters can’t parry/block attacks

[south kestrel]

I would really like to play white mage, but I am a black mage just arrived in HW. Is it better to play out the whole msq before swapping classes?

[median sierra]

How about miss?

[grizzled marsh]

Can someone explain how the stupid "Forming Party" thing works in Duty Finder? I'm not even new it's just frustrating, lol. I'm currently queued for Orbonne as a tank. I've been in queue for over 45 minutes now. A couple of minutes ago it was showing 3/3 tanks, 3/6 healers and like 5/15 DPS. I looked back a couple of minutes later and somehow it went down to 1/3 tanks, 0/3 healers and 2/15 DPS or something. Queue never popped. What the heck?

[median sierra]

The only benefit is you will have mount/flying mount and more teleports to go to you but might as well discover it on new class.

[obsidian patio]

People leaving the queue or getting matched with others

[median sierra]

Whole MSQ will probably take you another 40-50 hours ;p

Just play both I'd say

[grizzled marsh]

Yeah I doubt it was people leaving queue since so many disappeared at once. It just makes no sense they'd all disappear because if they were queued for Orbonne what else could they get matched into?

It's just SO FRUSTRATING to have such a long queue even at prime time.

Being a tank sucks for Alliance Raids. -.-

[heavy jewel]

is there some gear you can never get back if you get rid of it?

like story quest gear and side quest gear?

[nocturne wyvern]

Far as I know, all the irreplaceable stuff ends up on the salvager npc.

[heavy jewel]

where is that?

[outer mural]

the easiest one to find for me in near the aftcastle in limsa upper decks

they're south of the giant plaza up the stairs where you teleport to the aftcastle aethernet shard

[grizzled marsh]

Aaaaand I just got disconnected at like 1 hour in queue. -.-

[zinc kelp]

is the token from nier raids once a week only?

[outer mural]

not anymore

[brittle valve]

anyone can help? I know Guardian corps coat and skirt can be found in calamity salvager, but under which section?
