[honest summit]

How do you make a good looking male miquote?

[alpine crescent]

hmm when i drag thunder 1 onto my hotbar it automatically changes to thunder 3

[slate arrow]

that's because you're past the level when you unlock thunder 3

[dire prawn]

!trait Thunder Mastery

[zinc orbit]

**Thunder Mastery** : lvl 45 BLM

Upgrades Thunder to Thunder III.

Powered by XIVAPI

[slate arrow]

you use thunder 3 in place of thunder 1

and no, you cannot revert the change

[shut jackal]

i see that make sence wait does the rathalo extream is more easier to solo unsyn since it is allow to 3 cart such as in monster hunter besst to solo

[alpine crescent]

oh hmm

oh okay. i can do thunder 2

[faint flare]

rathalos can be soloed

You'll need some strong burst however

Machinist or warrior is best

[leaden ginkgo]

So can extreme behemoth in mhw

[shut jackal]

will my drk ilv510 around will be enough ?

[faint flare]

Maybe

You have like 3 gcds to kill the ox add

[shut jackal]

no no not that nightmare plzz do nto bring that one up

[slate arrow]

thunder 2 gets replaced by thunder 4 later on

[faint flare]

Otherwise you die

[shut jackal]

i see i see take note of that

[alpine crescent]

oh damn

[faint flare]

So you would need to save bloodspillers and mana for edges to burst it down quickly

[alpine crescent]

im just trying to organize my hotbar lol

[faint flare]

Warrior just inner chaos it and Machinist just Reassemble drills it

[shut jackal]

taking down as note

[faint flare]

And just remember to mitigate the stacks to lower the number of pots you use

[dire prawn]

Thunder IV also has a trait that makes it an automatic upgrade like Thunder to Thunder III

[shut jackal]

oh ya the mega potion button

[dim marsh]

for squadron missions does anyone know if you need all members to be at the minimum mission level? or is just one fine

[obsidian patio]

only one should be needed, but the success rate is based on meeting the stat requirements

[dim marsh]

got it thank you

[shut jackal]

again thank you so much for the idea and tip. again I am sorry. I been kirito in many mmo now come to this solo is like something i want to do or at least try

[shell gust]

can anyone here tell me what is the best way to earn gil the fastest im trying to get exarchic gear

[civic spoke]

Does anyone know the song that plays outside (near the entrance, outside of komra) of the NieR raid at around the time of the Konogg, Alone quest?

[pine kestrel]

Voice of No Return if it's the one I'm thinking of

[obsidian patio]

complete the challenge log, do daily roulettes as the role in need, spend tomestones of Allegory on the items that sell for 20 tomestones and sell them on the marketboard

[shell gust]

would you which specific allegory items sell the best

do you know*

[obsidian patio]

changes too often for a consistent answer

you'd have to check yourself

[shell gust]

i see thanks 🙂

[indigo mountain]

hey so is there a proper guide to using materia?

[slate arrow]

go to materia melder, give materia, pop in gear, profit

!faq materia

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named materia exists, Kupo!

[indigo mountain]

ok thank you

[alpine crescent]

guess i can do this for now

[indigo mountain]

I don't understand any of that

[dire prawn]

Delete Scathe

[slate arrow]

You go to the NPC named Materia melder

You select the gear you want melded

you pay the fee + consume a materia

now your gear has materia in it

[dire prawn]

Delete Sleep too since you're far past the 15 THM quest where you need it

[indigo mountain]

oh okkkk

also uh I can take out Materia from gear right?

[pine kestrel]

Yep, just right click and retrieve materia

[slate arrow]

if you want to meld your own gear, you'll need to level a crafter to do so

[indigo mountain]

oh alright thats really good to know about

im on the free trial so im not sure how far I could go with crafting

[slate arrow]

it's just tedious because since you don't have the MB you'll have to gather and craft everything yourself

[alpine crescent]

Its helpful to sleep adds on solo missions lmfao

[slate arrow]

there's some vendors who sell precrafts and other materials but

you'll still need to level everything regardless

[indigo mountain]

what's mb?

sorry if that's a dumb question

[last brook]

Do I need my dragonsung fishing rod equipped to catch petal shells?

[dire prawn]

Market Board

[indigo mountain]

ahhhh

yeah im sad that I can't touch it but it makes perfect sense

ill start crafting and stuff soon

im almost done with ARR I just wanna get all the content done in it first before I actually finish it storywise

[woven ibex]

I'm playing the free trial through steam but if I buy the game through SE my characters will be available correct?

[verbal rune]

Btw

I've been meaning to ask

In shb I get 50% instead of the usual 100% exp

Is that normal?

[twilit arch]

yes

[chrome island]

No

[twilit arch]

its always 50% for the last 10 levels

[chrome island]

You can’t do steam and then swap to regular

You gotta stick to steam now that you’ve chosen it

[woven ibex]

even with the free trial?

[chrome island]

You’d have to make a new account if you wanted to use regular launcher, yes

[twilit arch]

steam's trial locks you into steam

[oak talon]

is heavensward alliance raid in duty roulette?

[twilit arch]

yes

[sacred ocean]

anyone know where a delivery moogle is?

[carmine oriole]

how long do i need to logout in sanctuary to cap rest bonus?

[twilit arch]

you need to be in a sanctuary to earn rested exp

[oak talon]

i'm close to 20 mins queue time rn, is it less popular than ARR alliance raid?

[twilit arch]

there is nothing required for the HW alliance raids

so there's no real incentive for people to unlock it

long ish queue times for it is kind of the norm

[oak talon]

ah i see

[carmine oriole]

for how long to cap it?

[twilit arch]

takes 4 days to cap out on rested

[carmine oriole]

i see, thanks man!

[woven talon]

Most major cities should have one. Definitely the 3 starters

[leaden ginkgo]

why does it keep saying job/class requirements unmet whenever I go to register for it? I'm lvl 70

Can i get some help on the great hunt extreme trial?

[simple zephyr]

Are FATES hard or annoying? Are they unpredictable to occur?

[leaden ginkgo]

FATES are annoying yes

hard? no

[obsidian patio]

yes

[little swift]

fates typically aren't hard, but can be annoying to spawn

[leaden ginkgo]

unpredictable? Just have your map open

[little swift]

you can force some to spawn by complete other ones in the same map

but they have a cd on their own too so it can take some time

depending on which one you're looking for

[leaden ginkgo]

but doing fates over and over again for countless hours on end if very annoying

especially for ShB relic weapon

[little swift]

fates haven't been the recommended method for a long time

and if you did choose to use fates

blue mage makes it less annoying

[leaden ginkgo]

also why won't it let me register for bozjan southern on my warrior?

He's lvl 70

[little swift]

71

you need to be 71

[leaden ginkgo]

71? bruhh

ok thanks

[near path]

is there any in-game way to track down all the Triad NPCs since some of them don't have icons on the map or over their heads?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[near path]

👍

[obsidian patio]

and if they don't have the icon over their head you either beat them and got their cards, or haven't unlocked them

[raven lantern]

is the breach coin still a weekly limit or has it been lifted along with loot?

[obsidian patio]

lifted

[raven lantern]

YAY

thanks

[near path]

I've seen exceptions to that. Such as Lewena in the Saucer. Didn't have any of her cards but she didn't have an icon.

[obsidian patio]

This is the site i used for getting all my cards and NPCs https://triad.raelys.com/cards

[spiral inlet]

does FFXIV default select

laptop GPU?

[obsidian patio]

hmm, maybe it's because all of the cards she has aren't needed for the TT mount?

[wet grotto]

Nvm, what rank do I need to be to appraise these?

[twilit arch]

what resistance rank are you

[wet grotto]

12

[twilit arch]

then that would be why

they require 13/14

[wet grotto]

Ah okay, thanks!

[fleet vale]

Hey there, what benefits the player get by reaching higher rank than second Lt in their GC ?

[obsidian patio]

higher seal cap, more glamour items to buy. and I think first lieutenant lets you buy a teleport ticket that goes directly to the GC

[tropic flame]

yeah for about 2k/4k each

[storm helm]

Hi guys quick question about purchasing 😄

I have a sprout friend that wants to buy the complete edition, but is unsure if he registered on steam
Because he signed up on the website, but he uses steam to open the launcher
and on his payment methods there is no "steam wallet" method
but if he buys the complete edition on SE store sale for NA, and his account is steam, will his code still work?

[fleet vale]

oh I didnt know about the seals cap the GC seals or overall seals?

my currebt cap is 10k

[obsidian patio]

the cap increases each time you rank up

[wooden sierra]

by the way, can i transfer my silver/money to another character in this same account?

[obsidian patio]

Have them take a screenshot of everything that appears in this image.

[tropic flame]

only if they're on the same server

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 and re-downloaded the game. When I logged in to my game after the new install the game wants me to create a new character. Did I lose my character??

[obsidian patio]

only with the help of another person

you can't directly trade with your own characters

[storm helm]

i will thanks!

[wooden sierra]

ohh, i see. thanks you 😉

[obsidian patio]

You can also use FC chests as an option if they're in the same FC.

[tropic flame]

are you on the same account and data center as your original character?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

[dire hawk]

does gold saucer VIP card and FC jackpot buff not stack?

[tropic flame]

nope

it says so on the VIP card tooltip

[dire prawn]

Wynne

[dire hawk]

kek, so doing squadron prep for make it rain was uh, not as beneficial lol

[dire prawn]

In order to go from Chief Storm Sergeant to Second Storm Lieutenant the officer tells me I need to complete a trial and the Rank 2 GC hunt log

What trial do I have to do?

[obsidian patio]

Dzemael Darkhold

[dire prawn]

Is there like

A quest for it

[obsidian patio]

yes

Shadows uncast

[brisk plover]

I have 2000/2000 poetics what should i spend them on

[obsidian patio]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[dire prawn]

Wait I did that quest already to become Chief Storm Sergeant though

[obsidian patio]

oh then it might be Aurum Vale

[dire prawn]

Is there a quest for that one then

[obsidian patio]

Gilding the Bilious

[dire prawn]

Is that at my GC HQ

[obsidian patio]

yes

[left whale]

do i even need this second wind shit, im running low on accessible keybinds an ima needa start culling shit that dont do dps '

[dire prawn]

Did somebody say free heal?

Of course you need that shit

If you're running low on keybinds just make more keybinds

I have four hotbars and use a modifying button for the other three

Ctrl for second Alt for third Shift for fourth

[left whale]

yeah i kinda rather not
look, like.. if i get hit.. the chances are everybody got hit by some unavoidable aoe
and the healers probably gonna cast medica 2 on all of us
and.. like.. yeah man?

[fresh gate]

Second wind is a free heal

[left whale]

i know what it does

[fresh gate]

Unless you’re a god at not dying and the healers aren’t too

[left whale]

i know its not doing damage

[dire prawn]

If you take things off that don't do damage you easily remove 60% of your buttons and end up doing no damage because you'd remove the buttons that buff your damage with that logic

Out of all the jobs I've got my hotbars set up for which is all of them except for DRG and MNK because I haven't unlocked them yet the job with the most skills is PLD at 34

[left whale]

im being a tad bit hyperbolic yes
but hey man, if a mans gotta cull...and i wont be hearing otherwise
im probably gonna start by culling second wind

[raven sage]

There's no reason to argue about it. You don't absolutely need it but you should put it in a corner somewhere

[dire prawn]

If you're running out of keybinds make more keybinds

Or make a separate hotbar that's click only

Then if you do need to use Second Wind you take a second to go click on it

[storm helm]

ah it's steam. thanks!

[minor light]

hey all whats the fastest order of getting allagory from roulette?

just did alliance raid for 100 and wondering if there's amything faster

[silver ruin]

hunt trains

[minor light]

ok ty

[carmine ore]

yes, hunt trains far and away the fastest for tombstones

[late bison]

Or you could spent some money on a mmo mouse with many buttons on the site. This is what helped me so much to not make hand braking shortcuts on the keyboard 😄 it takes time to get used to it though.

[left whale]

a breath of fresh air you are my good lad

[neon holly]

can you move this extra action button? is it always in this spot for any boss fight

it messed me up since my action bars covered it completely lol

had to move my stuff out during a boss

[left whale]

i beleive that buttons called a duty action

and can be moved

[tribal sand]

Do Bozjan coins drop from everything in the zone once you unlock them or just Castrum?

[left whale]

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

[neon holly]

oo ty lol

[obsidian patio]

after you beat castrum once, they start to drop from skirmishes and CEs

[sudden jacinth]

Anyone know how what should I do once I am level 80, but my MSQ is just post Stormblood. Wouldnt the exp goes to waste if I continue the msq?

[obsidian patio]

you can pick up another job to soak up the EXP

Dancer and Gunbreaker start at 60.

[tender perch]

I have a quick question Can i get the 30% xp accessorie If i preorder endwalker on a free trial account

[obsidian patio]

no

you need the starter edition registered to use the pre-order code

[frozen thistle]

hey guys, I plan on moving to another server, do I have to just wait 90 days?

[obsidian patio]

Did you create your character on a server that was preferred at the time?

[tender perch]

I did

[frozen thistle]

not sure, I went for the 2x exp server

[obsidian patio]

Do you have this buff active?

!status the road to 70

[zinc orbit]

Error!

That is not a valid server, Kupo!

[obsidian patio]

oops wrong command

[frozen thistle]

yes I have the road to 70 buff

[obsidian patio]

!buff the road to 70

[zinc orbit]

**The Road to 70**

Experience earned while below level 70 is dramatically increased.

Powered by XIVAPI

[sudden jacinth]

what do you mean by soak up exp? means I won't be playing my role anymore?

[obsidian patio]

then you can't until the buff goes away

[frozen thistle]

just until the buff goes away? so until I reach level 70?

[obsidian patio]

no, until it goes away due to your character existing for 90 days

wrong reply

[obsidian patio]

I just mean playing another job in general to take the exp

[tender perch]

Mine is gone

[frozen thistle]

OHH okay, so just 90 days.. okay that's quite a long wait

[obsidian patio]

I only suggested DNC/GNB since they start at the highest level of all classes

[tender perch]

but do I get the buff If i visit a prefered world

[obsidian patio]

no

[frozen thistle]

what is a preferred world?

[tacit birch]

hi! anyone in tonberry that has level50 crafter sell me a - Emperor's New Fist please 😦

[obsidian patio]

!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.

[obsidian patio]

currently, only Standard worlds exist in all NA/EU datacenters.

with a handful of preferred servers in JP datacenters

[frozen thistle]

since I'm in a preferred world, later when the 90 days comes up

it doesn't guarantee I can move to a congested world?

[sudden jacinth]

ah I see.. can I accept quest using alternate job, swap to main, kill monster, or whatever, and then change back to the alternate job before submitting the quest?

[obsidian patio]

only if the class is a high enough level to do the quest in the first place

Congested worlds are HARD locked from anyone entering via new characters and transfers

no exceptions

[carmine oriole]

 Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

for how long? i saw when endwalker drop, they will have oceania DC. i want to go there so i have better latency

[obsidian patio]

until SE deems the world as not new due to having enough players

[sudden jacinth]

ahh I see.. thanks for the answer @obsidian patio

[frozen thistle]

oh nooo, so no guarantee after 90 days

[obsidian patio]

also congested worlds don't exist currently

so it's not a concern

[carmine oriole]

i see, maybe its better to do it asap

thanks man!

[obsidian patio]

I'd have to double check how long it took for Spriggan/Twintania to not be classified as new, but IIRC it happened with patch 5.1

AKA about 3.5 months after 5.0 when they got added

a bit hard to find old lodestone posts about world status changing that far back

[south roost]

If I use a fantasia will all the hairstyles I unlocked be available while recreating my character?

[obsidian patio]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

iirc unlocked hairstyles can only be used at the aesthetician

[south roost]

:(

[obsidian patio]

only the default ones

[tropic flame]

you can only change it at the aesthetician after you;re done

[south roost]

Ty

[velvet nymph]

i have a question about the astrologian sects and was wondering if one of them is better than the other or if it is just preference?

[obsidian patio]

in terms of pure potency, Diurnal is better.

[leaden ginkgo]

in casual stuff like dungeons though, you can get away with both

in which case it’s preference imo

[obsidian patio]

In terms of optimization, you generally only take Nocturnal if the shields are required, or are with another astrologian

[covert terrace]

Does anyone know when the FFXIV sale ends? The complete edition is $23 on the Square store but my friend doesn't get paid til Thursday

[dire prawn]

Wait you don't use Nocturnal with WHM?

[obsidian patio]

nope, diurnal regens stack with WHM's stuff

[simple zephyr]

Is there a way I can have a glowing sheathed weapon while it's being holstered?

[modest light]

What crafting class do you need to desynth weapons

[obsidian patio]

use this macro

/bm
/sit

[obsidian patio]

depends on the weapon, but most are made by blacksmith

[velvet nymph]

yeah i was thinking the regen was better because the shield uses alot of mana since i constantly need to put up the shield

[hot eagle]

iirc till the 18th

[covert terrace]

Thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

mp isnt really an issue

[modest light]

what would it depend on? like melee and casters?

[obsidian patio]

the job itself.

ALC does SMN/SCH weapons.
CRP does DRG/BRD and sometimes WHM.
GSM does BLM/RDM/AST and sometimes WHM.

[jade quartz]

There are a few Carpenter swords for gladiator even

[obsidian patio]

those mostly exist for pre-50 but yeah

it's pretty mixed and there's lots of small exceptions here and there

[zenith rover]

He yguys im lv 47 and need to get to 49 for the msq, do you maybe have any recommendations how i level fast?

[frozen thistle]

oh really? how do I check if the sserver I want to move to is congested or not?

[obsidian patio]

!faq worldstatus

[zinc orbit]

World status and restrictions

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

[obsidian patio]

Also the home world transfer simply wouldn't have the world as an option for transferring to

[obsidian patio]

do leveling roulette for the day if you haven't, and then spam the highest level dungeon you have unlocked.

[zenith rover]

Ok thanks a lot 🙏

[remote valve]

what are the best item bonuses for dragoon?

[frozen thistle]

Thank you so much!

[jade quartz]

You mean gear stats?

Until you reach level 80, the only thing you should focus on is maximising Strength.

[remote valve]

ok ty

[near path]

With Squadron members, since you can change their class, give them books, and raise their traits--do their starting parameters matter at all? Or is who you put in your squadron a purely cosmetic thing at the end of the day?

[willow spear]

is there easily accessible cool looking Dragoon armor? I boosted the dragoon so I didn't get the class quest armor along the way

[obsidian patio]

you can buy back the level 50 and 70 sets from the calamity salvagers

[obsidian patio]

purely cosmetic once you get the ability to change their class

well, race does matter for some chemistries

[wheat ridge]

Does anybody know how to make a page flipping macro, i wanna make a hotbar that stores all of my favorite emotes that i can cycle through

[near path]

ty

[obsidian patio]

#protips-and-ui pins

[celest coral]

How does one earn MGP from Praetorium?

[jade quartz]

Most people have them on the hotbar.

[obsidian patio]

only by trading in the TT card you might get at the end of the duty.

[jade quartz]

I suppose you could put them on a hidden hotbar but that would just be annoying to change

[celest coral]

What's a TT card 😮

[obsidian patio]

triple triad

it's a card game

Maybe there's a keybind in the keybind menu to automatically pick a random mount? AKA what the Mount roulette action would do

[celest coral]

So I have to unlock TT first?

[obsidian patio]

you shouldn't need to, IIRC.

[celest coral]

How do I see what cards I've collected lol

[obsidian patio]

one of the NPCs near the mini cactpot person in the gold saucer lets you trade in cards for MGP

[neon holly]

I hit lvl 80 on my red mage but still at just lvl 72 main story. Since BLM/SMN use the same gear as red mage.... which one of those two would be a good 2nd to pick? Which is harder to play and better overall

[wheat ridge]

yeah i saw those but it doesnt have what im looking for, im looking for a hotbar that can hold multiple hotbars, let me find the gif for you

[celest coral]

So there's no way to check cards you've racked up?

[wooden sierra]

Can someone explain to me again what are differences with DoW and All classes? As a beginner/new player which one should I focus on?

[celest coral]

Oh I see

... So I've done praetorium all this time without getting cards!!!

Aggghhh

[obsidian patio]

DoW = for physical DPS jobs like monk and bard
All Classes = for Casters and Healers

[desert bridge]

Do you get anything worthwhile from this guys questline or is it a total waste of time?

[obsidian patio]

just make sure the all-class gear has intelligence/mind

[tropic flame]

you do it for fun :>

its a good sidequest for when you want to do some casual questing

[ivory rover]

If a retainer is out on a venture it can't sell things on the market right? or are they superpeople who do both simultaneously?

[sudden jacinth]

is there a way I can clean up my inventory / armory quickly? atm I have to sell it one by one to the npc, and I have to click more for the spiritbond item

[obsidian patio]

a bunch of different things. cosmetics, minions, 4 different 8-man trials, a few emotes, and a title i think

[obsidian patio]

they do both at once

[ivory rover]

Wow what chads and chadettes

ty

[celest coral]

So can one teleport to Gold Saucer after unlocking it? Or do I have to get there via ul'dah again

[ivory rover]

There's an aetherite

it's under thanalan's list

[celest coral]

Egads missed it

[leaden ginkgo]

Does Newgame+ let you replay through the job quests

[tropic flame]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[celest coral]

But no rewards

?

[obsidian patio]

correct, NG+ is purely for experiencing it again

[versed bison]

do people stream the game even when they are using plugins or quicklauncher ?

[tropic flame]

some, i believe

most raiding streamers have act open too

[jade quartz]

Yes, they don’t receive punishment for it.

[celest coral]

Alright, I unlocked triple triad. Thanks for the tips

Sigh. I got all these cards in the past that I didn't know what to do with, so I passed on the mduring roulette or tossed them 😦

[dire prawn]

Wait, four trials?

[celest coral]

So now that I unlocked TT, can I get random card drops from Prae?

[inland pasture]

Do tanks or healers do MSQ fights faster?

[left whale]

people receive punishment for using act as a means to be an asshole to others tho
so tl;dr, dont be an asshole

~~although when you find your dancer suddenly changes partner midraid then... ~~

[obsidian patio]

Battle on the Big Bridge
Dragon's Neck
Battle in the Big Keep
Kugane Ohashi

first three are ARR trials, fourth is SB

[obsidian patio]

yes

I need some help, I am not able to use the controller when I am playing the game, like yesterday the controller worked

but now I cannot move the menu

like select between options

press select/share/the touchpad

that toggles between your currently active window

[versed bison]

I have a dummy xbox controller

I got a bit of a weird one- I want to take a far back zoomed out picture of some locations so I can convert some locations into maps for roll20. But I can't get back far enough in maps without mounts like the cities... Is there anything I can do?

[dire prawn]

If you have either CMTools or Anamnesis you can zoom out as much as you want

[gentle trellis]

Ok, I just had a dungeon where the tank kept pulling huge trash groups back to pack, and the only way I could avoid running out of mana was by using Cure I

[sharp lily]

what are... either of those?

[dire prawn]

Google

[slate arrow]

select then

[sharp lily]

Recommendation from the two?

[slate arrow]

whatever the left menu button is

[dire prawn]

Either or will do, they're functionally the same thing but for certain uses Anamnesis is more streamlined

[sacred crag]

So last week I went on the mog station and I typed my friend's code in the recruitment section. The problem I have is that when I check the in-game mail, my rewards don't arrive. I have checked multiple times on separate occasions and I am still running into the same issue. What should I do?

[fluid tartan]

can someone please point me in the direction to change my GC

so much info online all saying different things

[slate arrow]

go to another GC admin, and if you're not in the cooldown period you can change when given the prompt

[fluid tartan]

fuck, the one thing I didnt think about, ive been doing blue quests for my gc trying to unlock more ranks and get the quest to move GC

thank you @slate arrow

[slate arrow]

wait, you need second lieutenant first

that was assuming you unlocked the ability to change

[fluid tartan]

yeah thats another thing I saw, watched a youtube video saying you just need to wait 15 days, so i guess ill try now and see whats up

[vagrant crescent]

How much is a cure potency amount? For example if it says 1,200 then does that mean it heal exactly 1,200 health, or more or less?

[slate arrow]

which cure are you talking about

for Lost Actions, it's 1:1 ratio

for actual healers, it scales off their MND stat

[modest light]

what crafting classes should i hit lvl 30 first so that i can start desynthing a lot of the gear in my armory?

[vagrant crescent]

Clemency from Paladin, and what's lost action?

[slate arrow]

Bozja stuff

and I can't tell you, but PLD clemency isn't worth using 99% of the time

so don't worry about it

[slate arrow]

ARM, WVR and LTM

[fluid tartan]

@slate arrow yeah I guess you need second lieutenant cause I dont see anything in limsa to switch, thanks for the help

[slate arrow]

yw

[modest light]

which ones LTM?

[slate arrow]

leatherworker

Accessories is like, 70% goldsmith and 30% woodworker

[sacred crag]

So last week I went on the mog station and I typed my friend's code in the recruitment section. The problem I have is that when I check the in-game mail, my rewards don't arrive. I have checked multiple times on separate occasions and I am still running into the same issue. What should I do?

[shut panther]

You don't get the rewards until you've actually paid for a month of sub iirc

[sacred crag]

ok

[warm yacht]

best way to get protective logograms?

[sacred crag]

Well I paid for the sub monthly, but this is still my first free month

[slate arrow]

then you haven't paid yet

the only way to buy days early is with a time card

[shut panther]

Bronze coffers in hydatos iirc?

So I just have to wait till next month, roger that.

[fiery jacinth]

So I just got the Relic weapon quest. Need to craft an item but it asks for a Bloody Lance Head. Where do I get it ? For Dragoon

[sudden jacinth]

any shortcut to press this "ok" button or any macros to sell all junk?

[slate arrow]

you can disable the prompt in settings i believe

[shy kayak]

hey guys, just about to start the ARR post 2.0 content, just wondering if coils of bahmut are part of the mq or if there are any raids?

[slate arrow]

Crystal Tower is required

[slate arrow]

levequests or Wanderer's Palace

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

[gentle trellis]

Alright, after having run another dungeon, I'm willing to admit this may be because I didn't abuse the new Regen spell I had just gotten enough

[ember quarry]

is this the appropriate channel to ask questions about macros or should i go somewhere else

[slate arrow]

here is fine

[slate arrow]

below 50 Cure1 scales decently well, but once you get lilies cure1 starts falling off in effectiveness

[gentle trellis]

Wait seriously? I've been doing it just for funsies. Coils of Bahmut isn't though?

[slate arrow]

it is not, yes.

since Coils is not in roulette

and is considered "savage" difficulty

[leaden ginkgo]

is skybuilders yew log Rare or what

way to much price on mb

[ember quarry]

Cool, so i'm currently trying to steal some icons for my macros, and in particular i'm trying to nab the mount guide icon. I am aware of the "/micon" macro prefix and have used this to great effect for several different things, but i can't figure out what the macro suffix for "/micon "Mount Guide" would be. Generally that sort of thing is tied to the type of thing that the icon is, so for instance the laugh emote would be "/micon "Laugh" emote"

basically if anyone knows the suffix for menu buttons i'd like to know it

[slate arrow]

you should be looking at Grade 4 Skybuilders materials

1 to 3 mats are no longer current and should not be used

[dusty shard]

does magitek repair material have any use for F2P ?

[vapid obsidian]

Hello, how do you do the hands up shocked lalafell emote? /shocked and /surprised isn't it 😦. The one usually from cutscenes

[slate arrow]

That is not Grade 4

[shut panther]

Look at grade 4.

[slate arrow]

That is not Grade 4

[gentle trellis]

Well, he had just had a discussion here earlier, and I was advised there really wasn't ever an appropriate time for Cure I after lvl 30. I still think there might be situational times where it's still useful at low levels, but I agree with the advice

[leaden ginkgo]

ik

o im dumb

nvm

lol

[slate arrow]

It's just blanket advice because freecure is a noobtrap

[shut panther]

It's confusing, don't worry about it

[dusty shard]

does magitek repair material have any use for F2P ?

[leaden ginkgo]

the price was 50k per piece i was shocked

[slate arrow]

no

[shut panther]

There are technically incredibly niche uses for Cure 1 after you get cure 2

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for the help !

[shut panther]

But they're so rare they're not worth thinking about if you have to ask the question

So it's easier to just tell people "ignore cure 1 existing"

[slate arrow]

especially since it really falls off once you hit stormblood and start getting all of your free healing buttons

[gentle trellis]

Well, I just had a run where the tank was doing wall to wall pulls without breaks, and I was running out of mana. I realize now I probably wasn't spamming 'Regen' like I was supposed to though, which probably made a huge difference

[fiery jacinth]

is it a chance of drop or guaranteed?

[gentle trellis]

The tank didn't have much health either, so letting them fall to half was pretty dangerous. I think they must have had pretty low lvl gear

[slate arrow]

I'm not sure.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/b4zoqf/the_way_to_zeta_in_45/

[slate arrow]

yeah that happens

really how much healing you should be doing is based on your own judgment

[willow spear]

Is snapshotting a thing in FFXIV? Mostly thinking of using the potency increase on my DOT as Samurai

[slate arrow]

yes

I think?

[willow spear]

Hooray...I actually was smart enough to think of it myself lol

[gentle trellis]

If you don't mind, can you explain what you mean by 'snapshotting'? I know that enemy ground AOE's "snapshot", but I assume that isn't what you mean

[willow spear]

So DOTs

[south roost]

When you change your hairstyle can you change your eyebrows too?

[slate arrow]

oh yeah DOTs are based on your state when the attack goes out

[dusty shard]

the temple set u get from monk quest can't be dye right ?

[slate arrow]

so if you were buffed for the DOT, the DOT stays buffed until you refresh it

[willow spear]

do damage over time...there are abilities in the game that increase the damage of your next ability...so snapshotting is when you use one of those abilities before a DOT...and then every tick of the dot benefits from that damage boost

[slate arrow]

that's actually an intended mechanic for SAM's DoT

you always Boost your Sen skills

[south roost]

Does it not stay buffed until it wears off? I am pretty sure bard keeps it's buffed stats when refreshing right?

[willow spear]

They were very prevalent in min/maxing damage in WoW for years and now there's only one spec in all of WoW that still uses it and even then it's diminished

[gentle trellis]

Ah, I see, thank you for explaining. Do most damage boosting effects boost DoT? Will direct/crits increase the DoT damage?

[slate arrow]

yes, kinda

for the latter each tick has a chance to crit

this was also how BRD used to work actually, each stack was granted based on your DoTs criting rather than the fixed chance we have now

[willow spear]

It does but if you reapply the dot without using the potency boosting skill beforehand...it'll no longer benefit...but on samurai the potency boost isn't a long CD like on other jobs...its meant to be used everytime you'd reapply the DOT

[slate arrow]

no, refreshing is a new application of your DoT

!action iron jaws

[zinc orbit]

**Iron Jaws** : lvl 56 BRD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If the target is suffering from a Caustic Bite or Stormbite effect inflicted by you, the effect timer is reset
Additional Effect: 35% chance of becoming Straight Shot Ready
Duration: 10s

[slate arrow]

actually

I'm not sure how Iron jaws changes that

[versed bison]

I have the following plugins

• Ping checker
• FPS Checker
• Discord Rich Presence
• CHat Bubbles
• Fancy Loading Screens
• good memory
• no soliciting
• pixel perfect
• UI tweaks
• a dogshit combo mod

is it ok if I stream ffxiv ?

[willow spear]

Yeah that might be different cause it states it resets the timer, not applies a new version of the buff

[slate arrow]

just dont be a dick and SE won't take action ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[versed bison]

yeah, just not gonna brag about dps and shit

[slate arrow]

👌

[versed bison]

just wanted to share my experience with the world

[wild dragon]

no mentioning others dps either

[versed bison]

I mean I am not gonna use atb lol

[golden sigil]

Is this even the official FFXIV discord for the game?

[wild dragon]

as official as you can get

[slate arrow]

it's the /r/ffxiv subreddit discord

[hot eagle]

ffxiv doesn't have an official discord managed by squareenix at last I don't know of 1

[gentle trellis]

The most official thing would the FFXIV forums

[spiral inlet]

Is there a reference site

for gold/white scrips

[dusty shard]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/6c71e04ddac/
how do u use this? do u just use it and ur temple set become dyable ?

[spiral inlet]

DoL

[bright abyss]

Can I get a referral code

[hot eagle]

you need 7 of these to augment the full set to the dyeable version at the npc in mor dhona

[hallow phoenix]

A friend of mine keeps getting forcefully dc'd in dungeons despite his internet connection working just fine

[slate arrow]

recent happening?

[hallow phoenix]

Yea just today, we were running dungeons just fine yesterday

[slate arrow]

sounds like an ISP node failure

try a VPN

[hallow phoenix]

Can you log into the game on a VPN?

[slate arrow]

yes

[gentle trellis]

Couldn't they try a different DNS server or something

[woven talon]

for crafting, do I have to fill the quality bar all the way for a HQ item?

[slate arrow]

usually

[slate arrow]

for a 100% chance yes

[woven talon]

ah, so its a percent chance

thanks

[vagrant crescent]

Are there a level up guide somewhere for trial users? Lol XD

I'm trying to level up a second class so can't level up through the story, plus I did alot of sidequest on my main at lower level so can't do them either.

[slate arrow]

!faq altlvlguide

[shut panther]

Yeah it's a % chance that increases to 100% when full

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[vagrant crescent]

Thank you :D

[gentle trellis]

Mostly just hunting log until lvl 15, and then dungeons afterwards. You can also do the deep dungeon from lvl 1~15 if you want

[cerulean plume]

so I have a support ticket waiting from SE, but I am curious. Does anyone else have trouble buying things from their store? I am unable to complete transactions from their website anymore and just get 'internal errors and try again later' but it hasn't worked for almost two weeks. I have to have a friend buy from their store me because it never completes my checkouts

[frozen hollow]

any1 willing to help with alexander unsynched sage 9 spam?

[gentle trellis]

Also, fyi, any combat job lower than your highest combat job gets a 100% bonus to xp

[woven talon]

what stats increase crafting quality?

[hot eagle]

control for quality, craftsmanship for progress

and cp to use crafter skills

[versed bison]

I am not a meta guy sadly

I just like the flashy stuff

[storm sapphire]

What’s the highest tier materia is placeable on each slot of crafting gear?

[gentle trellis]

Do the damage/auto-attack/delay stats affect the healing I do as a healer at all?

[shut panther]

Everything scales from the damage stat on your weapon

Auto attack and delay mean nothing though

[gentle trellis]

Really? That's good to know, thank you

[shut panther]

Your weapon damage is the most important stat of all

[gentle trellis]

Welp, I'm very glad I've asked now

More-so than MND for a healer?

[dusty shard]

should I trade my melee cyclas for GC seal or desynthesis it ?

[solid grove]

where do i find the fat chocobo they’re cute and i want multiple

[tropic flame]

the minion you can buy in the gold saucer

[solid grove]

where’s that and im guessing it takes chocobo feathers?

[tropic flame]

uhh no gold saucer is basically the las vegas of ff14

you buy the minion with MGP

which is the currency you earn/use there

[solid grove]

oh nice i can have a gambling addiction in another mmo

[nocturne wyvern]

The saucer is more like an arcade than a casino. There isn’t really a whole lot that’s a net loss if you’re reasonably good at the mini games.

[slim raft]

I need tons of gil to buy stuff for crafting. What can I do at my relatively low level.

[nocturne wyvern]

Adventurer in need bonus?

[slim raft]

I need way, way more than that can offer at the moment

[simple zephyr]

Is there a way I can re-acquire the Chaos Coffer? If I lost it? or I messed up my gear?

[slim raft]

like, a few hundred thousand because I gotta craft hq stuff.

[unique bone]

So i'm new to FFXIV, I created a Black Mage an its lvl 41 i'm really bored of it and don't like the play style and am looking to switch to warrior. My marauder is level 21. Whats the fastest way to level it to 40?

[solid grove]

oh so its like the one minigame in the pso2 casino except the entire area? nice

[slim raft]

stick out BLM until 60. It'll take a few dozen hours but you can do it

[nocturne wyvern]

I prefer dungeon spam but you can do palace of the dead.

[fresh viper]

roulettes daily clear and dungeon spam

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

[unique bone]

Why stick it out till 60?

[nocturne wyvern]

You ever been to an arcade where you earn tickets? It’s like that.

[slim raft]

Because that's when BLM gets good or so I'm told

[unique bone]

o

[simple zephyr]

Um, can someone tell me if there's a way to re-acquire a coffer if I lost it?

[tropic flame]

the msq can provide more than enough

[solid grove]

yea thats pretty cool ty

[nocturne wyvern]

Sorry. I don’t know.

[storm sapphire]

Which coffer?

[simple zephyr]

Chaos

[fresh viper]

most classes are pretty boring at low lvls to be fair

[slim raft]

msq is slow and I'm overleveled for it

[simple zephyr]

Chaos Coffer

[hot eagle]

no you can buy the lvl60 jobgear with centurio seals in ishgard if you lost it

[storm sapphire]

When you say lost it, do you mean you don’t know where you placed it, or you threw it away?

[unique bone]

Its only like 1- 2 levels per dungeon im doing D: the grind

[simple zephyr]

where?

in ishgard

[sly thistle]

how do i find statics to raid endgame content with?

[hot eagle]

yolaine in the forgotten knight

[slim raft]

suffer

[nocturne wyvern]

Most people look on or advertise on the party finder.

The High End duty tab is the primary.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yup. That’s how it goes.

Remember to do your class quests also or you can’t go warrior.

@sly thistle Though I’ll be real with you. Most statics have stopped at this point.

So you’ll have a more difficult time now jumping in late.

[slim raft]

the answer to most questions is "wait until endwalker"

[unique bone]

some guy told me oh yeah you can lvl 10-40 marauder in like 2 hours

if only

[nocturne wyvern]

I try to be solution oriented.

[woven talon]

are there potions for crafting points (CP)?

[storm sapphire]

There are syrups and foods you can eat to temporarily increase your max cp

[unique bone]

is there any reason to get the game before u finish everything in trial?

[halcyon oyster]

Yo, how do you get that sick Black and Red gear shown in the Feast rewards?

[tropic flame]

do the feast

get in the top 100

[halcyon oyster]

Ah, ok, it looked different from the top 100 gear, so I wasn't sure.

[tropic flame]

if its listed as a feast reward then the only way to get it is do the content

or exchange the wolf collars for it

yes

[halcyon oyster]

Well, it wasn't technically shown as Feast reward, it's just the set of armor used while showing off the Feast reward weapons. At least that's what I understood from viewing the rewards page.

[drifting burrow]

do the jobs in your party influence types of loot in dungeons?

[warm snow]

No

[tropic flame]

nope

[drifting burrow]

[tropic flame]

i believe the top 100 get the armour but i might be wrong
only the people with the wolf collars get the weapons

[dire prawn]

Why is this attack called Arm of the Destroyer if I'm not using my arms

What even am I doing to cause this

[tropic flame]

actually

it might be this

the season 5 hellhound set

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/gearset/hellhound

yeah it is

not obtainable anymore

@halcyon oyster

[halcyon oyster]

oof

Are there any gear sets that are unobtainable that aren't from PvP?

[nocturne wyvern]

The destroyer is the god of destruction Rhalgr. The idea behind that is that he’s acting through you.

[tropic flame]

probably the legacy/1.0 gear

[halcyon oyster]

Ooh, so if I see someone on some gear that isn't PvP gear, I'll probably be able to get it. That's nice.

[nocturne wyvern]

The Garo gear could be obtained through pvp or the gold saucer and that went away.

[tropic flame]

not a lot of gear is unobtainable

other than the garo pvp gear and the feast rewards

[gentle trellis]

Most established games I join have a bunch of stuff I feel like I've missed out on and well never get to have/experience since it's unavailable now. I'm actually super amazed how little of that FFXIV seems to have

[tropic flame]

if its event items, you could always buy them from mogstation next year

[nocturne wyvern]

They did their best to funnel people back in to old content in this game.

Or give reason to go back like mounts and glamour.

Or blue mage.

[gentle trellis]

Well, l also mean like, with Dota for example, there are tons of popular cosmetics and things lots of older players have, but were only available for a few months or even weeks at a certain point

[halcyon oyster]

I hope they put some of that gear back in the game, under a hefty time commitment to maintain prestige.

[nocturne wyvern]

They don’t really do that FOMO crap in ffxiv.

Even limited event items end up on the cash shop.

[gentle trellis]

(in Dota) Every year they roll out paid-for cosmetic items that won't ever be in the game again, so people feel obligated to shill out for them because of fear of missing out

Yeah, I've started to realize how much I hate how FOMO is implemented in most modern games

[dire prawn]

What is FOMO

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s a special character tattoo that only legacy players got. I just remembered.

[nocturne wyvern]

Fear of missing out.

[gentle trellis]

Fear of Missing Out

[tropic flame]

yeah and legacy mounts as well

[nocturne wyvern]

As in “buy this thing from the cash shop before it goes away.”

[halcyon oyster]

Wait, they have limited cash shop items?

[tropic flame]

oh so like a limited item on the store

[gentle trellis]

Basically you are incentivized to play (or pay), even if you wouldn't normally want to, just so you don't miss out on some opportunity that you might not get again

Yeah

[tropic flame]

we dont really have that

just discounts

[nocturne wyvern]

For example, let’s say you miss the summer event this year and don’t get a chance for the polar bear mount.

It will be on the cash shop next year.

[halcyon oyster]

Yea, but is there any of what Arujin said there was? The cash shop items with limited availability?

[nocturne wyvern]

Nah.

[gentle trellis]

I honestly love that model. If I'm too busy with life to play, I can feel good knowing that if I miss a seasonal item I really really want later, I can just pay for it

[nocturne wyvern]

They haven’t retired any cash shop items because that would be a potential loss of revenue for some pixels that they can very easily generate more of.

[gentle trellis]

With Overwatch for example, I felt like I always had to keep track of the game even when I wasn't playing, just incase and there was a seasonal item that came out I would regret not getting later

It's just not a good feeling

[fading helm]

is bozjan runners secrets lv 80 gear?

[halcyon oyster]

Oh, Arujin was talking about Dota. I thought he was saying FFXIV did that stuff, originally.

[fading helm]

or can i wear at lv 65, cuz it lets me buy it from marketboard

[gentle trellis]

Yeah, sorry haha

[tropic flame]

you can buy it but you cant wear it

its a part that lets you upgrade bozja gear

[fading helm]

oh

its not actual like armor i can wear

[gentle trellis]

Well, I think there were like a few collaboration events that Square Enix did for example, where they would have to get permission from from a different company again to distribute the items

So we don't know if or when those event items will ever be available again

I remember there were a few examples of things like that I think, when I was looking into it, but it's certainly on a much smaller scale than most games

And I would honestly rather that Square Enix does those sort of events even if they can't guarantee that they'll be able to release the items again

[nocturne wyvern]

They’re supposedly putting the old items in another way.

Like the regalia from the ffxv event is apparently going in to the gold saucer.

Clouds advent children bike eventually ended up on the cash shop as well when it was a fanfest item.

[gentle trellis]

Really? That's great to hear

I guess my major take-away, is that even with the very few items that aren't available anymore (currently) for some reason or another, I don't feel like I'm being manipulated. Like, there's usually a good reason for them (like the legacy tattoos)

I always felt like Dota and Overwatch were using artificial means to manipulate me to keep playing

[dim ridge]

does complete edition now come with HW?

[patent citrus]

Free trial comes with Hw

[faint flare]

Complete edition always had hw

[nocturne wyvern]

Included with the base edition purchase.

[dim ridge]

yes, but what I'm saying is, if my buddy is free trial, and then she buys complete edition, it has HW right? wouldn't lock her out right?

TY just making sure!

base edition is what i meant yes, mb it's late

[faint flare]

Complete edition always contains all current content

[dim ridge]

i meant base edition. it's in base edition though you said

so if they got base edition it'd cover up to the end of hw postgame/start of stormblood, and then they could pick up endwalker later on and get the rest built in that way?

[patent citrus]

You get shb as well..

It includes all ex endwaller

[simple python]

I'm a new ff14 player. I really like thé game and I'll buy the full version but can someone tell me until when is the -60% promotion available?

[nocturne wyvern]

We don’t know.

[patent citrus]

Oh it's not available now?

The 60% off

[dim ridge]

yes but if they buy complete edition right NOW to get off free trial, then they'll have to buy endwalker. if they buy the starter edition, that'd cover all of ARR and HW content. they anticipate they won't even be getting to stormblood until closer to EW launch. wouldn't it be cheaper to buy base edition + endwalker later when they're getting to the end of ARR and HW content?

[patent citrus]

free trial contain hw man

@simple python

I'm not sure what you are talking about

Since it's on sale for me

[nocturne wyvern]

When you buy the base or complete edition you get ARR and HW. To proceed further you have to buy shadowbringers which includes stormblood.

Your friend won’t be able to do end Walker unless they go through ALL of the main story from ARR to SHB. You must do all of it to go in EW.

[gentle trellis]

Wait what? Complete edition has every current expansion

[patent citrus]

Yea from base to shb

Free trial is base and hw

[static raft]

Hi 👋 might anyone has some spare time to help two lvl 51 dps complete “the howling eye(hard) 😓🙏

[simple python]

Yes but I can't buy it right now, personal reason. In a few days maybe ^^ that's why I'm asking the question

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh it does? Well my point still stands about needing to do all the msq before you buy end Walker.

[dim ridge]

King, I've played since 2015. I'm well aware. Friend is taking her time doing ARR, hasn't even hit level 40. Soaking it all in. She's seen another mutual friend get to level 60 and start stormblood, and estimates that it is going to take her MONTHS to get to that

I know you don't have to be in shb story to buy endwalker though, that's ridiculous lol

[nocturne wyvern]

They didn’t specify how long the sale is for.

Best I can say is grab it when you can.

[patent citrus]

Why not stay in free trial? 😂 it took me 4 months to finish ARR and HW

[prisma hill]

The complete edition is at a 60% discount atm in store.

[simple python]

Ok, thanks ^^

[patent citrus]

That's the question

[prisma hill]

I'd still play the free trial till the end before buying it xD

[dim ridge]

Vielen, they are?? they're planning ahead. Its a long way until EW launch too

[prisma hill]

You can do a lot of things in the free trial.

[dim ridge]

I think she's anticipating doing the same, I'm asking if it cheaper if she waits for endwalker, in case she asks

[prisma hill]

and take it at your own pace, with a sub the time is ticking.

[gentle trellis]

Just so you know, you can buy the game now from the Square Enix store while it's on sale, but hold off on activating the code until you actually want to upgrade

[dim ridge]

Yes I'm aware, again, she's not in a rush to get off it. I'm asking because I am anticipating she's gonna ask what the best price is gonna be, basic edition plus endwalker, or complete edition then endwalker

[patent citrus]

I would just buy complete now since it's just 5 dollars difference between base and complete

[prisma hill]

Well, complete editon will probably change when endwalker comes out.

[dim ridge]

but then they're gonna--

[halcyon oyster]

I found this Orb. Do any of y'all know what it's for?

[prisma hill]

You'll probbaly save a bit

[patent citrus]

Stay free trial now and apply the complete edition later

[barren granite]

/lookout

[dim ridge]

again, Vielen, it's not ME. I've played for years. I'm just asking in regards to total price in case she asks/future sales/etc

[patent citrus]

Just keep the code till your gf finished hw

[halcyon oyster]

Ah, ty.

[dim ridge]

LMFAO not my gf, just a friend

I'm not buying it for her

[patent citrus]

And apply it after she finished hw

[naive ridge]

its a spot for the sightseeing log, stand on it and use the /lookout emote

[patent citrus]

Ah sorry..

[astral cedar]

so if you buy the complete edition it auto takes you off free trial?

[dim ridge]

no you have to register it

[gentle trellis]

Wait, so if you buy the base edition now, and then Endwalker later, Endwalker will come with Stormblood..? Is that what you're saying?

[prisma hill]

The moment you activate codes on a free trial, you lose the free trial

[patent citrus]

Yeah, but you need base game if you are on FT

[dim ridge]

yeah that's my point, Arujin. Right now, the way it's worked is latest expac comes with everything you lack, fills in the gaps from base game to the new stuff. Endwalker will do the same.

[smoky badger]

whats a good way to earn poetics?

[astral cedar]

so i can just grab the complete edition and save the code till im done? with the free trial

[gentle trellis]

Guys, you can buy the complete edition from the Square Enix store now while it's on sale, but hold the code until you actually want to activate it. I promise, it's what I did

[dim ridge]

Arujin, again, this person would then also need to get endwalker!

[prisma hill]

Main scenario gets yuo like 500-600 roulette

[smoky badger]

thats only firs ttime tho right?

[patent citrus]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[prisma hill]

Fast way to farm poetics is to do a trial like Odin as you get like 75 +15? if there is someone doing it the first time.

[patent citrus]

No, it's daily the MSQ roulette

So 500-600 daily

[nocturne wyvern]

If you’re still leveling I wouldn’t stop to farm poetics, you should get more than enough from the msq dungeons at 50.

[smoky badger]

ah okay

[smoky badger]

Well im burnt out on questing and I more so wanted the gear for glamor

[prisma hill]

Best to do your daily roulettes.

If you really want more, then trials offer bonuses when you do it the first time.

[patent citrus]

Yeah just do all roulette daily after you finished ARR

[prisma hill]

So some trials can be farmed for poetics as they mostly have a new person doing them.

[patent citrus]

You'll get AVG 1k poetics daily

[smoky badger]

noted

[gentle trellis]

I realize, I'm was trying to reply to Vanix's conundrum. I understand what your question is, but unfortunately don't have enough historical experience with FFXIV's pricing to tell you what to expect going into the future. You seem to be more informed on it than most people here

[patent citrus]

No need to farm it

[prisma hill]

I had a big break during Heavensward, back then ARR and Heavensward were out and you had to buy them seperately.

[patent citrus]

Unless you are aiming for anima weapon

[ruby turtle]

Yo guys? Anyone here good with macros? I'm trying to make my two mouse side buttons so that they actually like shift and control. If this is possible

[patent citrus]

Yeah that's pretty common gaming mouse bind

[gentle trellis]

I have buttons on my mouse mapped to ALT and CTRL. I don't see what that has to do with macros though

[fleet vale]

I did some missions in squadron that require 18 hours and have yet to be able to promote myself beyond second LT

is there a specific mission?

[gentle trellis]

That would be something you probably change through your mouse's software

[prisma hill]

yeah there is

[patent citrus]

Bind shift ctrl on right hand gaming mouse and you can access 1-10 key on left hand to access 3 hotbars

[nocturne wyvern]

Specific mission unlocks once they’re high enough.

[prisma hill]

At some point the npc will give you a mission for promotion

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe it’s when they’re all 50.

Or when you get one to 50

[prisma hill]

Think its when they reach a certain level.

[fleet vale]

how would I know such mission will get me promoted will ot say so in the tooltip?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

[prisma hill]

There are 3 missions.

[fleet vale]

I see

[nocturne wyvern]

It has a special marker.

[fleet vale]

thanks a lot

[prisma hill]

Max you can get is captain for now.

[fleet vale]

what about the rest of the ranks?

[prisma hill]

It's all in squadron.

[halcyon oyster]

Is it worth getting Poetics sets for my jobs once they get to the appropriate level? Or just gear them through dungeons?

[fleet vale]

I see

thanks

[prisma hill]

Poetics will like last you to l 56/66/76

[ruby turtle]

It doesn't let me press the side buttons to setup as a key bind? I was told by someone you have to use a simple macro?

[prisma hill]

Before you even have to think about upgrading them.

[astral cedar]

wouldnt it be better to buy the starter edition then endwalker?

[prisma hill]

For alt jobs they are enough.

[prisma hill]

I have my side mouse buttons as m4 and m5, you can set them up in keybinds

[gentle trellis]

If you have a button on your mouse bound to ALT, then you should be able to bind something by holding that button on your mouse and pressing Q for example?

You want to bind something just to 'Alt'?

[patent citrus]

You will need poetic if you are leveling your alt job

Ilvl jump from expansion to another is big

[proud willow]

If you remap your mouse buttons, that's all you need to do. No macro or anything

[patent citrus]

You'll need equipment upgrade from few of poetics gear to be able to queue LV 51/61 dungeon

[ruby turtle]

I want my side mouse button to act as shift. So I can press mouse 4 + Q,E,RT. To do my abilities and mouse 5 as Ctrl to I can do mouse 5 + Q,E,R,T

I can just do this manually you guys say?

[patent citrus]

You'll need gaming mouse I reckon

[halcyon oyster]

Can you do Khloe's journal multiple times?

[hidden cypress]

should i have 1 battle job and one doh/dol retainer? or how should i set them up

[nocturne wyvern]

I think the complete is a better deal. But that’s just me.

[patent citrus]

Only dol retainer available

No doh

[nocturne wyvern]

The DoL retainers can only gather what you have gathered. So their usefulness is directly connected to your own gathering.

[patent citrus]

Xandure once a week

[hidden cypress]

if i level my retainer on a battle job, does it go to lv 1 for dol?

[astral cedar]

was thinking that till i realised endwalker comes with stormblood and shadowbringers

[halcyon oyster]

Does that reset on Tuesdays too?

[nocturne wyvern]

Retainer can only have one job.

[patent citrus]

Yea

[nocturne wyvern]

And it can only level as high as you have leveled the same job.

[patent citrus]

Check out the book expiry date however if you wait too long

[hidden cypress]

i know but if i switch the job will it start at lv 1 or stay same level

[nocturne wyvern]

1

[patent citrus]

The book has expiry date

[hidden cypress]

does it also reset for botanist-miner?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yup.

[patent citrus]

Yea

[hidden cypress]

damn ok thanks

[patent citrus]

They can't have multiple jobs

[nocturne wyvern]

I have two battle and one miner.

[patent citrus]

Like wol

[halcyon oyster]

What's the fastest way to speedrun Wondrous Tails?

[ruby turtle]

It just wont let me to do it, am I being stupid?

If I press mouse 4 + 1, it just doesn't do anything

[shut panther]

The game doesn't take mouse buttons as modifiers

[nocturne wyvern]

Figure out whichever duty is the easiest and go unsynched with 80’s.

[shut panther]

You'd have to use external software to set mouse 4 as ctrl/alt/shift

[ruby turtle]

That's literally what i've been asking, I heard you can use a macro of some sort?

[shut panther]

As far as I know you'd need to use an external program to rebind the button at a system level

[proud willow]

You need an external program such as X-Mouse Button Control or SetPoint

[patent citrus]

And I've been saying you'll need a gaming mouse for it. I don't think other external program is reliable

[proud willow]

to remap the buttons

[patent citrus]

Ohh nvm what I said then

[proud willow]

Both of them give you the option of remapping side buttons just while you are in one application

[patent citrus]

Are they accurate?

[shut panther]

You can definitely do it without a gaming mouse, gaming mice just tend to have official software

[patent citrus]

Yeah that's what I mean by reliable

Dedicated software

[shut panther]

Eh, x mouse is fine

[patent citrus]

Ok Ty ty

[shut panther]

Tbh I find the Logitech software kind of shit

[ruby turtle]

I have a razer viper, trying to see if I can do it there ahaha

[gentle trellis]

Heh, what did feces do to deserve being compared to Logitech software?

Feces shouldn't have to put up with such slander

[patent citrus]

Not sure, Mine's reliable

[storm sapphire]

Everytime I look at resource monitor I always see logitech’s mouse software upload a steady stream of 50KBPS

[vapid obsidian]

Does anyone know what emote this is?

[leaden ginkgo]

Can BLU insta KOs or spells like Tail Screw work on A ranks?

[slate arrow]

/aback

[slate arrow]

no

[vapid obsidian]

Thank you!

It's not in the emote list is it?

[slate arrow]

following up: nearly all boss mobs have instant death immunity

[astral cedar]

is dragoon single target or aoe dps?

[patent citrus]

All class have aoe

[slate arrow]

every job is single target and AoE

but raid encounter design is based on single target

[vapid obsidian]

Oh it's actually unlocked by an item. It's just really funny everytime I see a lalafell do that

[karmic niche]

what is the command to level up alt job

[slate arrow]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[karmic niche]

thanks

[gloomy mason]

Does this skill increase the damage Dot in Samurai ?

[radiant scroll]

so sprout marauder here. I'm guessing that for "auto-attack" and "delay" stats on weapons, I want lower values right?

[dire prawn]

You can ignore the auto-attack stuff

[radiant scroll]

ok ty

[patent citrus]

You'll want something with higher weapon damage

I think that's it, nothing else

For weapon

[slate arrow]

yes

[obsidian patio]

to add on, Hissatsu: Kaiten also increases the dot damage

[maiden copper]

is there a "best" class for leveling trusts

or more so

a "best party comp" for doing trusts

[dapper steppe]

is there any tips for getting a house for my fc lol its rough on my server

[tropic flame]

prepare to sacrifice hours clicking on a placard

:3

or you could buy one from PF

[toxic sorrel]

can i mail something to my friend if hes in a diff server

[tropic flame]

you can only trade with them

cant mail

[toxic sorrel]

DAMIIT

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys should my friend play steam free version or square enix version whats the diffrence

[tropic flame]

no difference other than having to pay for the full version on the platform your free trial is on

[astral cedar]

what is hall of novice?

[patent citrus]

SE version let you swap to Steam

Not the other way around

[tropic flame]

like a training area where they teach you some mechanics of how your class works (tank/healer)

[rain scroll]

I switched my old enix trial to steam , it is possible but it was very difficult

[tropic flame]

you also get lvl 15 gear as well as an exp boost ring when you finish

[patent citrus]

Practice ground with decent gears reward for lv <30 character

It will teach you fundamentals in dungeon content

[versed sable]

When I sell an item I cant use that glamour anymore. Is there any way I can "save" glamour appearences without Holding on to every Single item i collect?

[astral cedar]

oh ok

[patent citrus]

Glamour plate

Put them into your dresser

[zinc orbit]

[plain python]

which section of the party finder can I find DR?

[brittle quartz]

hello my final fantasy is crashin on steam platform i had no issues till i got up to sotrm blood under the sea game keeps turning off and steam gives me no errors or anything any help?

[storm sapphire]

The one right before other

[brittle quartz]

i dont think my game is corrupted cause like i said it was working fine untill i got to storm blood quest under the sea

[storm sapphire]

Try turning the graphics low and see if that helps

[tropic flame]

i believe adventuring forays

[jaunty gorge]

Doman Restoration is still open to do right? To get the Housing Items there. Started with shb and want to do it eventually

[tropic flame]

yes

itll always be there

[jaunty gorge]

neat

[versed siren]

do I have to be hit by monster skills as BLU to learn them or will being hit as other classes work?

[tropic flame]

as a blue

and you dont need to be hit by it

[versed siren]

ah gotcha tnx

[tropic flame]

you just need to see it

then you can kill it

if you dont get it then try again

[brittle quartz]

did not help

this is legit bs

game was wrking fine till now

i already verifed and it says there is no issues i dont see what the problem is

[leaden ginkgo]

So i just turned in my 2nd Journal to Khloe, but i didnt get a single reward. What gives? It worked like a charm the first time i did it. I even had 2 lines and just get nothing :/ Did i turn it in to late?

[jaunty gorge]

btw same probably applies to ishgard restoration I assume? Even if Ishgard Housing comes. I can't imagine restoration stopping entirely

with it being such a good way to level crafters as well

[storm sapphire]

Either you turned it in too late, or you accidentally asked for a new journal instead of submitting your old one first

There’s a date on the top left of the journal to tell you when to submit it by

[naive ridge]

there is a 2 week time limit to turn in the journal

[versed siren]

is there a way to know in-game on which monsters I can learn stuff from?

[cobalt burrow]

howdy

[versed siren]

as BLU I mean

[naive ridge]

in game i think the spellbook gives clues

[versed siren]

ohhhhh I see now thank you! I thought they were just blank spaces

[naive ridge]

like that

[proper lichen]

I have quests from the Waking Sands. Will they move along to the Rising Stone in Mor Dhona, or do I need to finish them before I move the Scion HQ?

[pine onyx]

What should I get once I'm fully geared with yellow crafter scrips?

Master recipes?

[abstract parcel]

it seemsthat some hotbars (1-3) change when i switch jobs, but do the rest of them not do that?

[shut panther]

Up to you, but I'd say the Masters for completions sake yeah

[left cedar]

Master recipes are a good idea, yeah

[pine onyx]

What kind of recipes are these?

[shut panther]

Quest locations never change based on your progress, urianger will always be hanging out at the waking sands

[shut panther]

There's a setting for "shared" under hotbar settings

[silk jacinth]

Some are universal by default but you can change which change with job and which not in settings

[shut panther]

Basically, every expansion has two master recipe books, which contain combat gear, glamour gear and housing stuff

[pine onyx]

Gotcha

What ilvl is the last master recipes for gear?

[shut panther]

Like all the primal weapons are in master recipes

[pine onyx]

510?

[proper lichen]

So even if I move in the Rising Stone, the HQ at Waking Sands remind and I can access both?

[abstract parcel]

oh my gosh thank you!!!!!! i looked but didnt know that's what that meant

wow this is so much better, thank you

[shut panther]

Exarchic is master 8 and 510 upgradable to 520, yeah

[pine onyx]

Gotcha

[shut panther]

You will likely struggle to make it with scrip crafting gear though

[pine onyx]

A bit late to learn these recipes, but still good to know

[shut panther]

Correct

[pine onyx]

Even white?

[proper lichen]

Thank you

[shut panther]

It can't be 100% HQ'd without some HQ materials even with bis pentamelds

NQ combat gear is effectively trash so

[pine onyx]

Yea

Gotcha

[shut panther]

You should probably technically be able to make it, but you'll likely need lots of HQ mats

I forgot the exact stats on the white set

The master books also contain shit the the calfskin glam sets which is easy to make

[dapper steppe]

this is absurd lol

[unique bone]

opinions on using MMO mouse with more buttons? thinking of getting one

[shut panther]

Find them and murder them

[dapper steppe]

i would recommend getting something similar to the naga hex, don't go for one with the 12 on the side as the buttons are too small most of the time and you might mess up the clicks

but even then you shouldn't really need em

[shut panther]

Private too, like what a griefer

[dapper steppe]

my fc and i have been trying to get a fc house for awhile now and seeing that is just really sad

[opal swan]

Best way to farm GC?

[shut panther]

spam greed in dungeons, turn in items

[gritty oracle]

very strongly recommend

[restive viper]

Hi guys, I’ve reached 30 lvl but I cannot find my second job quest - paladin or it’s just continuation of my quest from gladiators guild?
