later on ruin 2 is upgraded to ruin 4

[cursive ridge]

is cast time ruin stronger than instant ruin on purpose

[patent citrus]

stronger if you don't have fester left

[cursive ridge]

it feels so bad being forced into a cast time when you have a instant cast version

[patent citrus]

I suppose

[potent lava]

Should standard step be refreshed constantly to sync it as close to tech step

[strange knoll]

I don't remember, I only need 1 crystal per zone for the Soul without Life quest right? Heavensward relic quest

[rugged flicker]

What exactly is the point of iron jaws?

[patent citrus]

yeah

[strange knoll]

Thanks!

[potent lava]

Reapplying dots

[patent citrus]

Bard skill? It refreshes both your dots

mogstation afaik

[rugged flicker]

But why would you want to do that?

[glossy flare]

Refresh dots with 1 gcd instead of 2

It's faster and less of a dmg loss

[rugged flicker]

Explain it to me like I'm 8, please.

[ripe goblet]

hey its my first time playing im getting closer to unlocking dark knight (im playing paladin currently) will i start from level 1 after i wear the dark knight soul?

[glossy flare]

Your dot skills do very little dmg on their own, but compete with your basic "shoot arrow" skill

[patent citrus]

when you use ironjaws, you can refresh both your dots without having to recast both dots skill

and you can weave your songs inside your ironjaws as well

[hot eagle]

drk starts at lvl30

[ripe goblet]

tyty

[patent citrus]

the time you spent recasting both dots skill, can be used for something else

[rugged flicker]

Oh, but "reset" you mean the timer goes back to its max time.

[patent citrus]

yeah

[glossy flare]

Yes

[patent citrus]

but you must not let the dots falls off

[rugged flicker]

I assumed "reset" meant remove them entirely.

[glossy flare]

Yeah, just remember that for iron jaws to work there needs to be some dot duration left

[sacred crag]

How do I start beast tribe quests? Are they the mark bills ?

[shut panther]

!faq beast

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named beast exists, Kupo!

[shut panther]

hmm, what level are you?

[sacred crag]

lvl 57

[shut panther]

you'll generally run into the beast tribes as you do MSQ

[sacred crag]

level 50 msq quests

[glossy flare]

Beast tribe unlocks are generally

[shut panther]

and you'll know the beast tribe quests because they have and then the repeatable quests have

[sacred crag]

Which npc?

[shut panther]

depends on the beast tribe.

[sacred crag]

Will I joined the immortal flames company> Does that help?

?

[shut panther]

beast tribe =/= grand company

[sacred crag]

ok

[rugged flicker]

Quick question: Do duty timers for solo instances usually continue to run during the post fight cutscene, after it clearly says "DUTY COMPLETE?"

[fresh viper]

is t9 impossible to solo unsynced? ||i got to phase 3 with the heavensfall and stuff but get wiped by some mechanic involving some fire tether(?)||

[proud willow]

That mechanic is an instant kill but if you have enough damage, you can win before it happens

[toxic sorrel]

ik this isnt a ffxiv question but i cant find a asnwer online, what is d dossing? i google it and i only get doxing as a definition, whats the difference?

[proud willow]

especially if you pause at a certain percent and then burst down, but even that isn't necessary if you're well geared

[fresh viper]

oh so i can skip that phase if i burst then huh

gotcha

one more try

[fresh viper]

thanks

[shut panther]

Denial of Service-ing -- essentially flooding a target with traffic in order to make it fail/be unusable

[fresh viper]

what is that percentage btw

[glossy flare]

you probably mean ddos, which stands for Distributed Denial of Service

[shut panther]

the extra d is for distributed, which is using multiple machines to do so

[toxic sorrel]

OHHHH

[glossy flare]

it refers to attacking a slice of the internet by sending A LOT of requests that way

basically overloading the capacities

[shut panther]

(commonly a botnet)

[proud willow]

I wanna say 48%, I'll check

[toxic sorrel]

so like someone like flooding someone with botted stuff to get their account banned or something

[shut panther]

ban would not be it

[glossy flare]

unlikely you could get someone banned that way

[shut panther]

essentially, if you use the metaphor that the internet is a series of tubes, sending infinite garbage through a target's tubes so nothing useful can get through

[proud willow]

Yeah, 48%. You have about 7 GCDs to kill after she goes below that number

[toxic sorrel]

oHHHH i see

[fresh viper]

gotcha, thanks again!

[toxic sorrel]

so like someone sent them mail of something important and then spamming their mail so they cant find it?

[shut panther]

not can't find it

[toxic sorrel]

is that a example?

[glossy flare]

they wouldn't even be able to search for it

[toxic sorrel]

ooooh

[glossy flare]

but generally there is not much value in ddosing an individual

it's more something naughty people do to big organisations

[shut panther]

like, if you've got an internet connection that is 100MBPS download (as an example, the numbers are far higher in reality)

[glossy flare]

like for example a ddos attack on the ffxiv servers would mean no one can play anymore

[shut panther]

using a group of machines you control on the internet

to send an endless 200MBPS stream of data to that IP

if you don't have the distributed portion of that, it's simple enough to stop -- block the incoming IP

if it's distributed, then it becomes more difficult to sort valid traffic and garbage

which means the connection is saturated with garbage, making it unusable for what you intend to

[shut panther]

there's been examples of ddosing individual players being used to cheat in online games, actually

[glossy flare]

yeah, it's just more the exception to the rule

[vestal needle]

how do i macro an emote?

[shut panther]

type the slash command into the macro window

[vestal needle]

/ac "laugh" motion
/wait 3

[shut panther]

no ac

just

./laugh motion

[glossy flare]

just the /<emote here>

maybe even /<emote> <t>

if you want that

[vestal needle]

got it thanks!

[stone parrot]

I have a question about PC and controllers. Has anyone had. Mysterious “drift” of sorts that doesn’t come from your controller?

[patent citrus]

do you mean kbm has more delay?

I don't quite get what you mean...

[stone parrot]

So I play with a pro controller, and usually it’s fine. No delay. But out of nowhere while I was playing sometimes mg character would walk even though I stopped moving the joystick, same with the camera.

I tested the controller out on other games and my switch and nothing was wrong. I also tested it with a wired via USB PS4 controller and had the same problem

[patent citrus]

wah I don't use ps4 controller, someone else might be able to help

I use logitech f310

[stone parrot]

It’s any controller

I mainly use my switch pro

[inland pasture]

Do you start PoTD at level 60 if you start from floor 51?

[proud willow]

yes, always

[lone dock]

hey, a friend of mine is unable to download the game through either steam or the SE launcher because he keeps getting BSODs, is this a common or known issue?

[stone parrot]

My friends and I googled it for two hours, read many Reddit posts, tried Microsoft forums, nothing worked. Not opening the launcher through steam (I play SE launcher), restarting everything didn’t work (did that many times) disabling drivers didn’t work

[patent citrus]

I'm not sure but I don't experience that

you might... be accidentally trigger the auto-run

[stone parrot]

I was gardening with a friend when it started

Nope

[patent citrus]

but since you already used to play controller, then it's not

[stone parrot]

I was just gardening. I had been playing for a few hours already before it started

[wanton niche]

how do i get there?

[glossy flare]

you swim

[wanton niche]

wait what

[glossy flare]

I'm serious, you just swim over there

[wanton niche]

oh wow well thanks 😄

[cold river]

in POTD is there a checkpoint every 50 floors?

[patent citrus]

[fickle meadow]

how much sks does 2.38 equate to roughly?

[spice kraken]

i'm waiting for this shit for almost 2 hours now

[thick dove]

yo so I'm trying to do a quest rn and it had me do some side quests before I could accept it but whenever I try to accept it now it says that I need to complete a quest in the crystal tower series but it doesn't have a side quest that shows up under the msq tab

[glossy flare]

!ffxivmath reversespeed 2.38

[zinc orbit]

Information

Required Skill/Spell Speed at 2.50 base GCD: 1523

[patent citrus]

need to wait when it's off-peak time

NA and EU are flooded with players now

[fickle meadow]

wait thats 2.50

[glossy flare]

no, 2.5 is the base

and to get to 2.38 you need at least 1523 sks

[fickle meadow]

o really

[sacred oracle]

Do i need to test the Endwalker benchmark? Why is it a thing? It will need more system requirements than the game rn?

[fickle meadow]

ah ok

[patent citrus]

yeah 2.5 is no skill/spell speed

[spice kraken]

what time is it for na?

[runic cairn]

marginally so

[patent citrus]

probably 3AM - 7AM NA time

[runic cairn]

more important is that you can make a male bunny if you want

[bright elm]

I somehow happened to do the MSQs up until " Devourer of Worlds " I finished " Familiar Faces " logged off and logged back in the next day and immediately TP'd into the Golden Saucer to get my daily ticket and so I guess I can't go back into that island because i can't redo solo duty ???

[glossy flare]

if you didn't attune to the aetheryte there you can get there again from ishgard

[leaden ginkgo]

does perception effect colloecbils when mining ?

[bright elm]

could you somewhat help me in a personal call?

[glossy flare]

just go to the airship landing in Ishgard (it's in the upper part)

that's where those 2 maps connect

[bright elm]

there should be an NPC there

no, next to the ticketer

omfg..... THANK YOU SO MUCH

[modest light]

what crafting class is worth getting 80 first, i already got everything to 30

[glossy flare]

it's recommended to do all of them at the same time, because they work into each other

plus the gatherers too

[coral herald]

How do i beat ramuh extreme? I keep getting one shotted in a instant and im kinda confused

[nocturne wyvern]

Gathering 3 orbs by running through them gives you a significant boost to lightning resist.

[nocturne wyvern]

If you level one crafter you have to level all of them. But I usually suggest leveling them together in batches of 5. Get them all to 35, then 40, then 45, then 50, etc.

Since they’re all interdependent this allows you to make any processed stuff you need for any of them.

[coral herald]

I do it when I play dps too or only tank

[nocturne wyvern]

In ex mode if you’re synched it’s helpful for everyone to do it but main tank is priority.

And tethered people.

[coral herald]

It takes me awhile to get into the mission with people but when we do we get clapped

[nocturne wyvern]

Are you on the free trial?

[coral herald]

Nah

I’ve been seeing ramuh for an hour now

[nocturne wyvern]

Well then I suggest using the party finder instead. For old extremes like that people don’t queue it anymore, they bring in level 80’s and curb stomp it.

Such is the fate of all obsolete content like that. :/

[coral herald]

Ohh

[nocturne wyvern]

I understand wanting to do it as intended but it‘s unlikely to happen successfully nowadays.

[frosty badger]

I need help with the Free Login Campaign

[coral herald]

I just wanna finish the mission already-_-

[nocturne wyvern]

Party finder it. ^_^

[frosty badger]

I don't get how it works, I just "Joined" the campaign today on PS4

but my sub ended 21 July

[coral herald]

I’ll give it a shot

[frosty badger]

would I be able to play for free on 21 Aug?

and would I be able to summon my additional retainers during that period?

[green grail]

you get 14 days of sub

[frosty badger]

and what happens if I sub before (not during) the begin of the free login? would my remaining days freeze or something??

[marble wave]

is it alright to paypal someone to gift you Fantasia because i keep getting error message i2501?

[frosty badger]

i already know that

[green grail]

if you buy sub you lose the days

[frosty badger]

i said not during

this is so confusing to understand

[green grail]

you need to have had your last sub expire at least 30 days ago, then you can play for 14 days for free

if you sub then you're not eligible

[hearty fable]

if I dont' have ruin 3 yet and only ruin 2. Do i still weave ruin 1 and 2 or just ruin 2?

[green grail]

and I'd assume you won't get the retainers since they're paid, but I'm not 100% sure

[frosty badger]

ah so im not entirely sure myself i want to wait until 21 Aug

maybe i wont be eligible for another reason who knows

i think the 14 free days will be just added to my remaining sub days

[green grail]

like the hi-potions and stuff you find in coffers? its just there as means of extra healing if you're running solo or something

[marble wave]

how does one fix error code i2501

[green grail]

can try selling them on MB if it sells for more than vendor price, but if not then just vendor them

sustaining potion is the more rare one but also untradable iirc

[blazing pike]

@blazing pike here

[wanton niche]

do they reset daily? or how does they work ive noticed that i never done them b4 😄

[tropic flame]

i believe the lower ranks one refresh daily

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the fastest way to complete this

[naive ridge]

weekly custom deliverys? you'll complete it eventually

[leaden ginkgo]

done this week

[naive ridge]

or just trade collectables for scrips

[green grail]

you should be able to grind the custom delivery gathering collectables without limits iirc?

[naive ridge]

yea

[leaden ginkgo]

just colloect ?

[naive ridge]

collectables

[green grail]

thats what the achievement says

[naive ridge]

the ones that you trade in

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont need to increase the numbers

[green grail]

collect one and check if you get the achievement progress

[leaden ginkgo]

so its just a matter of time

[green grail]

but probably

[leaden ginkgo]

welp i may farm for lv 70 nodes to level my miner

[naive ridge]

it doesnt say that you need to

but like why would you waste your time?

[leaden ginkgo]

crafter tag

[naive ridge]

its an achievement that you will complete eventually if you

just do the weekly gathering deliveries

or do it for scrips

[leaden ginkgo]

dont worry im farming for scrips

[naive ridge]

if its for scrips you need to hit the minimum

[sacred oracle]

can i spam squadron command to level them up?

[leaden ginkgo]

how much item level i need

[naive ridge]

you have to check with the vendor

[naive ridge]

you can but i wouldnt bother

[leaden ginkgo]

any scips vendor right ?

[naive ridge]

yea

[sacred oracle]

why?

[naive ridge]

the ai in the dungeons are horrible

[sacred oracle]

true

but it doesnt give less exp right?

the second time

[naive ridge]

im not sure

[naive ridge]

but its easier to just train them x3 a day and send them on a mission

[sacred oracle]

oof

[sacred oracle]

just failed a promotion mission coz they are too low level i waited 18 hours for nothing now im mad

wanna power level them xD

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont know how to reach it to 1k without putting a lot of gp

[naive ridge]

it depends on your gear

[leaden ginkgo]

isn't that enough ?

with 699 gp

[naive ridge]

yes

you should be clearing it easily

wait

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[naive ridge]

eh im not really sure

[leaden ginkgo]

👀

[naive ridge]

looks enough to me

what are you doing for collectables?

[left whale]

Iirc its an easy clear if your scour gets you 200…ish collectability

Theres literally like 3 buttons to press, if the 1k aint happening within a reason amount of integrity
Like.. gotta git gudder stats brah

[leaden ginkgo]

im farming the lowst one and im gonna use garland to check if the other nodes are up

[naive ridge]

Scrutiny > Scour > Scrutiny > Scour?

[leaden ginkgo]

and whats the rotation

[left whale]

Yeah more or less, unless u gets that handy dandy proc then ye press the 3rd button

[leaden ginkgo]

all i know is just using macros for crafting

[naive ridge]

i just gave you the rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

sweet

what lvl is your miner sa im kinda curious

[naive ridge]

im assuming 70+ since he linked the bluespirit collectable

stats look about there too

[leaden ginkgo]

lv 72

nice

thanks to turn ins and leve quests

tbh im kinda stuck with my miner, lvling past 50 is extremely painfully slow

u can do it its just a matter of time

like mines 57/58 rn but i cant bring my self to lvling him more its just to damn slow

botanist felt quicker than miner so idk

[left whale]

Gets a hell lot faster again when u get collectibles
Well by faster i mean, more time spent afk/doing other things than gathering

Pretty great

[leaden ginkgo]

how so?

and im not a fan of afking, i dont like doing nothing

[left whale]

Cuz the esp is great but u can only harvest collectibles only so often

So you just go and do something else while u wait

[leaden ginkgo]

like what

[left whale]

Idk man, maybe pick up a craft class lol

[leaden ginkgo]

like what should i do for xp til 60/65 for miner

all my crafters are 70/71

[naive ridge]

leves if you dont want to gather anything

[left whale]

Leves?

[naive ridge]

but i'd gather stuff

for the money

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean if i want money i can just go to diadem get a stack of sesame and boom 50-60k

[naive ridge]

like there are still receipes that use stormblood mats

[dapper oyster]

does the amount of character in a party affect the exp gain? curious because im in praetorium and one of our member just poofed

[naive ridge]

nope

most of the exp from msq roulette are from the daily bonus the dungeon itself doesnt give much

[frosty badger]

it said thanks for adding crysta but nothing was added...

[leaden ginkgo]

plus i dont really need money atm i got 5mill

[naive ridge]

then leves

[frosty badger]

is the website broken?

[leaden ginkgo]

and once i get my crafters to 80 i can just like make stuff for moneys

[left whale]

You need 45 more mill for a golden turd mount, one always meeds money

[leaden ginkgo]

like glam items

[naive ridge]

you can make stuff for money right now

those arent as profitable as you think

[leaden ginkgo]

how so?

[naive ridge]

90% of the price is in the rare material

any melded omnicrafter can craft them with the mats

[leaden ginkgo]

also what should i spend my skybuilder scrips on to get good/quick moneys

[naive ridge]

you would have to look at the Market Board

and see what is selling

[nocturne wyvern]

^ this.

There’s no definitive best item. It’s all market dependent.

[leaden ginkgo]

fair i saw a chestplate thats worth 340k that sold one yesterday. but some trolls be listing it for 600k 1billion kekw those were the only other 2 on market

[naive ridge]

they are transferring money to an alt probably

[nocturne wyvern]

If I had to pick an item, I’d say see what the wall lean emote sells for.

[naive ridge]

or not intending to sell

[leaden ginkgo]

the 340k or the 600k

[naive ridge]

or its the only ones on the market so they can ask for more

[leaden ginkgo]

right now there is only 3 on market, mine and 2 others

[naive ridge]

high priced items move slow

so the swings are big

its not like cheap items where the cost is steady

sometimes those can take weeks to sell

[leaden ginkgo]

before today i was buying and selling gunmetal dye for 50k each

[nocturne wyvern]

I’ve always preferred selling small popular items to big ticket stuff myself.

[naive ridge]

same

[leaden ginkgo]

like what

[naive ridge]

big ticket items are fine

but you cant have it be the sole source of income

[nocturne wyvern]

I sell a lot of ores.

[leaden ginkgo]

also anyone know why shards are like 200k for 3k of them? while crystals are 9k for 50k

[left whale]

I sell smole ticket item to buy big ticket items
I find the profit margins, even at its worst, to be greater than that if cheaper items so.. yeah

[naive ridge]

because you get a bunch of crystals from aetherial reductions

[nocturne wyvern]

Influx of Low level crafters from all the new players if I had to guess.

[green grail]

cause all the new players are leveling crafters and using up shards

[naive ridge]

which gatherers do a lot of

[green grail]

on low level recipes

[naive ridge]

you dont get shards from aetherial reductions

[leaden ginkgo]

then how do you get alot of shards i dont wanna spend 200k for them ;/

[naive ridge]

get your retainer to gather them for you

[leaden ginkgo]

my retainers only get me 60 per hour

[fleet vale]

thats why there are more expensive

[leaden ginkgo]

120 an hour is ass someone told me they get 100 every 40mins from a retainer, how

[naive ridge]

idk what to tell you

your retainers arent levelled enough then

or arent geared enough

[leaden ginkgo]

well no shit lmao my retainers are lvl7 with a lvl1 pick and naked

[left whale]

I dont spare the effort to get shards myself
I imagine whoever is currently selling 9000 crystals to be doing it far more efficiently than i could

Feels like trying to acquire everything yourself cuz ya dont wanna pay someone else is a big trap

We live in a society ho!

[naive ridge]

??????

you're asking for advice and we gave it

[jade quartz]

So level them up. It’s not ass because it’s no effort on your part. Can accrue shards passively over time.

You can also gather them as well as garden for them with housing/planters

[leaden ginkgo]

issue is i cant be in town every single time they come back..like its tedious as fuck to level them

[naive ridge]

you can also spend money on 6 extra retainers and make it 800 an hour

[leaden ginkgo]

thats a quick way to use all my damn ventures ;-;

[naive ridge]

you'll never run out of ventures

[leaden ginkgo]

false

you're right sorry.

just buy them from grand company, its like 200 per 1

You'll never run out of ventures if you are turning in dungeon gear for seals that you trade for ventures. Sorry if i was being to figurative

What does the quest "Let me Holster That for You" in Gangos unlock?

[left whale]

Pushover

[fleet vale]

ahhh

[naive ridge]

not in character config

[fleet vale]

thanks!

[naive ridge]

np

[green grail]

lets you hold more lost actions in the holster

wrong reply oops

@ cookies

[wet grotto]

So instead of holding 2 I could hold 3?

[naive ridge]

wait what

[green grail]

more weight

[leaden ginkgo]

but yeah quite honestly, i would much rather gather my own shards and buy clusters/crystals but im not sure how to do so at my current gatherer level

[green grail]

cause each action has a weight

[naive ridge]

ive been stuck with 2 this whole time for no reason?

[wet grotto]

Ah so it gives me more maximum capacity?

[green grail]

yes

to 99 i think

[naive ridge]

oh just capacity nvm

[nocturne wyvern]

If you open your gathering menu it tells you where to get shards and crystals and clusters.

The default hot key is B if I’m not mistaken.

[frosty badger]

my account was last active on 21 July, do I still qualify for the current free login campaign or must it be inactive since the start date of the campaign date (13 Jul)? thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the rotation to mine unspoiled nodes but with getting 2 or 3 not just 1

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i know but issue is i only get 1 shard per hit

[nocturne wyvern]

Sorry Xem I don’t know.

[wet grotto]

By the way does DR automatically sync you to ilvl 430 and so gear doesn't really matter?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yep that’s how it’s gonna be until you get the later abilities.

[nocturne wyvern]

It synchs you down but not up I believe.

[frosty badger]

i tired adding crysta moments ago and still waiting for it to reflect on my account

[leaden ginkgo]

what later abilitites?

[naive ridge]

thats 50 levels ago

[nocturne wyvern]

There are abilities later that for 500 gp gives you two extra items per hit.

[leaden ginkgo]

even 3 per hit isnt much though?

[nocturne wyvern]

Indeed.

[leaden ginkgo]

are you talking about the twelve bounty?

[nocturne wyvern]

I forget the name off the top of my head tbh.

[inner jackal]

Which is harder in general: Extreme Trials or Savage Raids? Is the difference great enough to say this is a factual constant, or is it just a generalization based on player opinion?

[leaden ginkgo]

!action King's yield

[zinc orbit]

**King's Yield** : lvl 30 MIN (400 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the number of items obtained when gathering by one.

Powered by XIVAPI

[leaden ginkgo]

this?

[nocturne wyvern]

!action King’s yield II

[zinc orbit]

**King's Yield II** : lvl 40 MIN (500 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the number of items obtained when gathering by two.

Powered by XIVAPI

[green grail]

savage, it's designed to be harder than extremes

[leaden ginkgo]

isnt twelves bounty better than king's yield

[nocturne wyvern]

Most people consider savage harder fight by fight but it depends also on the design itself.

[leaden ginkgo]

savage is harder than ex ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Hell yes it is.

Most of the time.

[green grail]

the first floor, maybe two, are around a hard ex difficulty

[leaden ginkgo]

if it that hard i cant farm savage alexandra for anima relic ?

[inner jackal]

So, what I'm hearing is that I should grind the EX mounts before going into Eden Savage.

[nocturne wyvern]

I’ve done all of the savages on content since stormblood and most of the extremes. Diamond ex is, in my opinion, more difficult than 9 savage.

[still cradle]

how do i use kupo bot?

[nocturne wyvern]

But not harder than 10s on.

[still cradle]

i wanna check the prices for something

[naive ridge]

you just learn the commands and type them in a discord that has it

[nocturne wyvern]

You can go in to savage in 510 crafted.

[inner jackal]

I'll drop an example, Lamb

[still cradle]

ty

[tropic flame]

check pins in #kupo-bot-spam

[still cradle]

ty guys

[tropic flame]

oh use it

[nocturne wyvern]

In week 1 my group got to 11s enrage with just crafted and some basic drops from 9S and 10s.

In just 510 and very few 530 pieces.

Now you can get even better gear with a relic weapon plus echo which makes a huge difference.

[inner jackal]

ilvl isn't really my concern. I worry my rotation isn't as optimized as it could be.

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s fair. You can go to the balance discord which is about optimizing rotation and gear.

It’s a strictly endgame focused min/max discord.

[naive ridge]

xivanalysis helps a lot if you use fflogs

[inner jackal]

I also hold a mindset that even mentors can always learn more

[gloomy mortar]

I currently get +233% exp. However I can only account for +173% exp. where is the other +60% coming from? The Menphina earring and Brand New Ring both give +30%, FC buff +10%, armory bonus +100%, food +3%. 😮🍡

[naive ridge]

rested exp?

[gloomy mortar]

That much? 😮

[naive ridge]

i think rested is 50%?

[harsh sun]

Hey guys, do I have to buy all the level 50 gear with memo or do I need to wait until 60 or 70 gear ?

[acoustic thorn]

I cant seem to start the questline for doman enclave reconstruction, ive done all of the prerequisite msq, and the doman adventurer guild quests in mor dhona, but the npc is not in the doman enclave

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t understand your question.

[naive ridge]

have you completed the following quests, Elation and Trepidation, Short Arms of the Law, and A Thousand and One Farewells.?

[harsh sun]

I'm level 50, and now I can buy the level 50 gears with memo, but I want to know if it's better to wait until 60 or 70 (keep farming all the memo) to buy all the set when I'll level up 60 or 70

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh ok gotcha. I wouldn’t buy all the gear if I were you.

Just the bare minimum for the msq.

[uneven brook]

question, im currently on free trial cause i wanted to see if i like the game or not and i really like the game, will i lose my character or account if i buy the subscription thing for the game

[harsh sun]

Ok thx ! 😄

[acoustic thorn]

yes

[harsh sun]

Nop,, you'll keep your character

[acoustic thorn]

wait no I the issue is i cant get a thousand and one farewells

[uneven brook]

alr thanks for answering

[nocturne wyvern]

Though if you’re going over 2k poetic tomestones (endgame currency) Id buy gear rather than let it be lost.

[acoustic thorn]

or the prereq quest, at least

[naive ridge]

sorry im looking it up

im a little confused myself

[native belfry]

Hey, anyone able to help?

[acoustic thorn]

When I go to the enclave, theres nothing there. no npcs that have quests, no aetheryte, nothing

[hidden cypress]

whats up

[native belfry]

I've got a problem with some quest, cannot find a way to unlock it...

Do you want me to stream? Or to explain here?

[hidden cypress]

what qeust

[naive ridge]

youve done elation and trepidation?

[hot eagle]

did you do the sidequests in mor dhona allrdy you need to do before the quest in the enklave unlocks

[native belfry]

In for Garuda Awakening

[acoustic thorn]

Yes I have

[acoustic thorn]

yes

[proper crag]

if I dye in a plate instead of an item shouldn't the color remain as I swap gears?

[hidden cypress]

you know if youve done the prerequisite quests?

[native belfry]

I am not sure man

It asks me for The Bowl Of Embers (Hard)

[naive ridge]

you dont see him here?

[native belfry]

I am a beginner

So there's that

[hot eagle]

Short Arms of the Law is a so easy to miss

[hidden cypress]

you need to beat the bowl of embers (hard)

its not really hard though

[native belfry]

It is not unlocked tho

[timber sentinel]

hello. me & my friends are considering to play this.

is there afk-grind aspect in this game? if so, how heavy is this. one of my friends doesnt have a lot of free time so he would insta-buy it he could progress in the game while afk (like BDO)

[hidden cypress]

do that

[naive ridge]

depends on what kind of content, levelling isnt much of a grind

[native belfry]

Oh, nevermind man, I'm dumb

I just found it in Boss Fights

[hidden cypress]

juts know, (hard) trials arent actually hard. extreme and above is where it gets hard

[native belfry]

It was separate from other Hard boss fights

[hidden cypress]

so dont be worried about them too much

[uneven brook]

how do i get the warrior set?

[native belfry]

yeah, I've done them so far, I'm not worries

Anyways thanks

❤️

[naive ridge]

like completely afk? or just looking at a 2nd screen kind of afk

[timber sentinel]

can your character progresses in somethng while being AFK? like fishing, in BDO. or the afk-grind in this game is very little to not exist

both

[naive ridge]

fishing isnt completely afk

[hot eagle]

check if you did this 1 https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Toll_Booty this one starts the chain to unlock short arms of the law

[naive ridge]

you still have to press a button to reel the fish in

but

[hidden cypress]

crafting is also semi afk

[naive ridge]

its chill enough that you can watch netflix and just listen to the sounds

[hidden cypress]

at least ishgard restoration

[naive ridge]

crafting can be macroed yea

but its not like a completely afk thing

its a semi afk/watch netflix thing

[uneven brook]

how do i get the warrior set?

[timber sentinel]

is it allowed to mention other games here? is the leveling as grindy as WoW (for new player)

[naive ridge]

levelling isnt grindy

you will max your first job just by doing msq

[leaden ginkgo]

what is different with repair at npc or repair with dark matter?

[naive ridge]

and there are plenty of sources of exp for alt classes

[naive ridge]

dark matter repairs past 100%

[topaz basin]

So im a returning player,last played january 2018. My ilvl is really low 340 avg how easy is it to catch up to stormblood standard gear?

[naive ridge]

like 199%

[timber sentinel]

thank you very much

[naive ridge]

also you can self repair in dungeons

[nocturne wyvern]

If you buy dark matter at your gc with seals it also lets you repair without spending money.

[leaden ginkgo]

can I use dark matter grade 7 for all gear? or lvl 80?

[wintry kindle]

w

[naive ridge]

yea

[hot eagle]

can get ilvl400 with poetics if you cleared base stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

so I can use grad 7 dark matter for low lvl as well? cool

[naive ridge]

its more expensive but yes most people do that for convenience of not carrying different grade dark matter around

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah but it might not be cost effective when a repair for a low level job is like 500 gil.

[topaz basin]

I think i beat base stormblood and got to 4 .1 or 4.2 before quitting for 3 years

I havent loggin yet tho i still download it on my ps5

[hidden cypress]

after you beat base game you can get poetics gear

so youre fine

[nocturne wyvern]

In what?

In ARR it’s just job quests.

Same with shb (role quest is basically the same thing.)

[hot eagle]

yeah with 340 you probably did so you can use poetics to buy the 400 gear in rhalgrs reach or kugane

[uneven brook]

the cool warrior set thats red

[hidden cypress]

this?

[naive ridge]

all warrior sets are red

[uneven brook]

yes that

[hidden cypress]

lv 50 warrior job quest

[uneven brook]

oh okay thanks

will the warrior guy give me all of it at once? or do i have to do more quests to obtain the entire set

[nocturne wyvern]

You get some at 45. More at 50.

[uneven brook]

i see okay thanks

[native belfry]

@hidden cypress everything worked out, cheers man

[wary sand]

Should I focus on the main quest? Been grinding the other quest more than anything.

[cursive ridge]

i just learned that guildhests stop at level 40, what was the point of that system? it feels like it's abandoned by the devs

[warm snow]

It's bunch of tutorial fights

[naive ridge]

it was like a mini boss tutorial

yea

[green grail]

it's like tutorials, micro-dungeons that teach mechanics recurring in other content

[warm snow]

It's not meant to be "real content"

[naive ridge]

the moved the tutorials to other content

[cursive ridge]

hm, okay

[naive ridge]

like role quests

[fresh estuary]

can someone on Gilgamesh invite me to the Novice Network? I haven't been able to find someone to invite me.

[cursive ridge]

they gave me quite a substantial amount of exp for first completion so i completed them all

[naive ridge]

and hall of the novice

[warm snow]

One guildhest is literally, don't pull more than you can handle it can end poorly

[warm snow]

Substantial exp, for your current level

[nocturne wyvern]

Guildhests were meant to be tutorials then they swapped to the hall of the novice.

[cursive ridge]

almost all guildhests people ignored mechanics and bruteforced them lol

[nocturne wyvern]

I actually made an alt to see it for myself and I feel like the hall of the novice does a better job.

Plus the exp ring you get is nice.

[cursive ridge]

yeah it's cool

[nocturne wyvern]

I got curious about some of the new player stuff so I’m leveling an alt while working on my relics to see some of the stuff I missed.

[warm snow]

Years power creep for you

Been nearly a decade since those were made

[cursive ridge]

guildhest's problem is that you barely have any time to read the prompt at the start and the whole party already ran ahead

[modest rain]

Is there any magic trick that makes gathering Oddly Specific Dark Matter/Amber NOT a royal pain in my furry butt?

[jade quartz]

You can also brute force most guildhests without paying any attention to that stuff

Except gil tortoise and the gargoyles one

[wheat pulsar]

Is there a way to know what a Blue Icon quest is giving? Like I know they're for unlocking or progressing a thing, right?

[jade quartz]

Both of which are like…not situations that come up often in real content

!faq contentunlock

[wheat pulsar]

But how do I know what is glamor based and what is...just random stuff

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[nocturne wyvern]

Not without looking it up.

Though sometimes the quest name is a hint.

[naive ridge]

some of them you can look at the quest reward

like

this is the one for unlocking glamours

they show the action as a reward

[cursive ridge]

even though guildhests is super old content it's still being used and is worth doing today. comparing it to wow makes me laugh at how fast the devs abandon content

[jade quartz]

I wouldn’t call it worth doing today by any stretch of the imagination

Guildhests are obsolete

[obsidian patio]

The roulette's experience drops off pretty sharply past level 50.

[cursive ridge]

the exp is very worth for a new player

[naive ridge]

well its as long as a fate an gives like 400 seals for AIN

not too shabby

[jade quartz]

Not compared to doing pretty much anything else with your time.

[naive ridge]

for early levels its not bad

[obsidian patio]

but for the very low levels, it's good experience for how fast they're done as a first-time

[naive ridge]

esp for the first few thousand seals for gc promotion before deliveries

[cursive ridge]

just saying that wow devs are almost embarassed by old content

[swift pasture]

is it possible to change your "the twelve deity" alignment after character creation?

[cursive ridge]

while ff old content is still quite good

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[swift pasture]

aww..

[shut panther]

It also means nothing

[nocturne wyvern]

Unless you’re a super hardcore rper.

[wanton niche]

how do i know which one are "holy motives" for the weekly?

[timber sentinel]

will i get future expansions if i buy the complete edition?

[green grail]

which weekly

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[green grail]

no, complete edition is starter edition + current expansion (which includes previous expansions for free)

[wanton niche]

the five ones

[fleet vale]

stardive is the upgrade version of spineshatter dive or a seperated ability for the dragoon?

[glossy flare]

stardiver is a separate ability

only usable under life of the dragon

[timber sentinel]

okay thank you

[fleet vale]

like a proc?

so it is passive right?

[glossy flare]

no, you can just only use it while life of the dragon is active

and the cd makes sure you only get one stardiver per LoD window

[fleet vale]

like how Geirskogul transform into nastrond

correct?

[glossy flare]

Yes, only that stardiver is its own button

[fleet vale]

I see

[glossy flare]

it's not an upgrade/replacement to anything

[fleet vale]

another keybind...

sigh

thanks

[green grail]

that just requires 5 different leveplates, so 5 different of those icons you had in the previous screenshot

there is some delay

And it might be worse depending on how the servers are doing (items will arrive faster outside of peak hours)

[nocturne wyvern]

Also don’t freak out if it takes a few hours.

[leaden ginkgo]

Does this game have any high waisted pants glamour?

high waisted mmmm

i kind of feel like most pants already are?

[naive ridge]

you can get it from the npc

that sells the lvl 1 racial gear

i think

it looks different for each race

thats the miqote one

[grave star]

Should I do wolfs den or frontlines if I wanna farm wolf marks?

[minor hemlock]

So wanted to know

how long would it take to level a 70 Goon to 80

[naive ridge]

frontline roulette

its hard queue for a specific pvp type

[leaden ginkgo]

why is this better than the hand king rings?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/792158024918892588/875326756578529280/unknown.png

[golden monolith]

Is commercial Survival Manual hard to obtain? I have 2 left as miner and wonder if I should use it sparsely or not

[kindred isle]

Do HW have voice acting in the msq

[naive ridge]

you can purchase them from your GC or get them with your squadron missions or scrips

[kindred isle]

In ARR obly some has voice acting

So bleak

[tired wave]

If i pre-order endwalker and buy Shadowbringers will it be applied immediately? or will i get a code or some sort?

[sleek needle]

Probably that game prioritizes CP over control

[halcyon blaze]

Voice acting coverage gets better after ARR, still not that great though

[leaden ginkgo]

is hand king ring's worth losing 4gp over?

[kindred isle]

Ok

[minor hemlock]

um

[kindred isle]

But do most msq have voice act

[nocturne wyvern]

Do the pvp roulette first.

[kindred isle]

After HW

[leaden ginkgo]

from swapping to hand king gear i loose 14 cp is that worth it?

[minor hemlock]

so how long would it take to level from 70 to 80?

[golden monolith]

Most msq is definitely voiced in HW, just keep in mind that voice acting is insanely expansive for any game so they couldn't really afford voice acting in ARR

[nocturne wyvern]

It usually prioritizes item level.

[naive ridge]

as long as it would take you to finish the MSQ about as long as Stormblood msq

[reef fern]

should i farm the 2 last ARR duty for augmented ironworks?

[runic cairn]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

well it isnt. hand king is 350 and larch ring hq is 200

[sleek needle]

Handking is 26 cp and 18 control ain't it? So -2 cp +8 control

[nocturne wyvern]

And I don’t think losing some cp is a big deal for low level crafting.

[minor hemlock]

Already done with Stormblood and 5.0 ShB

[nocturne wyvern]

Depends on how you level.

[sleek needle]

Ye I would go for the control

[wet grotto]

Craftsmanship + control > 14 CP

[runic cairn]

do your daily msq roulette but beyond that running castrum/praetorium is not at all worth the time

[wet grotto]

You don’t need to worry about CP until 80 crafting

[minor hemlock]

that's what I'm asking

[leaden ginkgo]

so it is worth?

[reef fern]

got it

[sleek needle]

Yes

[nocturne wyvern]

@minor hemlock I prefer to level via dungeon spam.

Depending on your role it could take a lot or a little time.

[wet grotto]

Yes because you get more out of more craftsmanship and control with hand king

[kindred isle]

They are very good armour and makes the rest of your 80 msq in ARR quicker

Just get the weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

ah nice

[minor hemlock]

Well trying to think if I wanna level a Samurai or a Lancer (Which would be more fun/easier)

[kindred isle]

Armour up to u

[leaden ginkgo]

kinda sadge you cant meld it

[runic cairn]

go unlock and run the rest of the level 50 dungeons, you''ll get bonus poetics for first clears

and also more roulettes to do

but for the love of god do not spam castrum or praetorium

[kindred isle]

Especially praetorium..

You will lose your soul

[leaden ginkgo]

what should i do for lvl70 to 80 to lvl the quickest

[wet grotto]

For crafters?

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[wet grotto]

Levequests, custom deliveries, crystarium deliveries

[minor hemlock]

Samurai or Lancer

[nocturne wyvern]

Probably samurai since it starts at 50.

Lancer/drg also gets some noticeable rotation changes as you level.

[leaden ginkgo]

is that quicker than the ishgard way? @wet grotto

[nocturne wyvern]

Samurai on the other hand has a very straightforward rotation and all abilities it gets builds on it rather than changes it.

[wet grotto]

Ishgard you would have to do gathering, unless you plan on killing 2 birds 1 stone?

[minor hemlock]

Silly to ask but what's stronger , period or for my case soloing fates or doing quick Unsync'd extremes and Bozja Front

[nocturne wyvern]

Either one is fine tbh but you’ll get BIG NUMBERS as samurai.

[wet grotto]

Levequests are just easier because you can just buy the items off the marketboard or buy the materials and craft it yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

but usually the items on mb are insanely price though?

[minor hemlock]

I'll do Lancer first then Samurai then

[kindred isle]

Or just use BLM and go X plaauuuuuusion

[nocturne wyvern]

Also, drg has a bigger emphasis on positional attacks which I absolutely despise. Samurai isn’t as punished for missing them compared to drg .

[minor hemlock]

positional attacks?

like hitting the butt?

or something like that

[olive shuttle]

if i buy shadowbringers now, does it include endwalker or will that be seperate?

[wet grotto]

It depends. Some items aren’t the expensive. But if you want to take the less costly approach, do Ishgard restoration

[wet grotto]

Separate

[olive shuttle]

thanks

[nocturne wyvern]

Drg has to constantly move to hit an enemy on the side and back.

If it doesn’t it’s moved hit weaker and later on one of your attacks is locked out unless you do the positional attacks correctly.

[left whale]

Shit, the tank should stop spinning so much

[kindred isle]

Lol

[minor hemlock]

so Samurai doesn't have to deal with that as much?

[wet grotto]

!faq positionals

[zinc orbit]

Visual Example of Positional and Non-Positional Target Rings

Image URL: https://imgur.com/ANOqtwM.png

[nocturne wyvern]

Samurai doesn’t lose potency on its attacks from missed positionals. It just generates a little less of its resource.

[wet grotto]

SAM’s positional attacks are just gaining an extra 5 genki to their gauge from the back

[nocturne wyvern]

And the side on kasha.

[warm snow]

And it adds up fast

[nocturne wyvern]

But even if you miss one or two, kenki is pretty easy to generate.

Drg loses potency and can’t do one of its attacks if you don’t do it.

[minor hemlock]

I thought goon just needed to clap cheeks

[nocturne wyvern]

My hatred of positional attacks is why I play ninja. I can sit on the back the entire time and only need to do one flank attack every 30 seconds. Even if I ignore the flank attack bonus it’s only a 6% dps loss.

[nocturne wyvern]

Nope.

[nocturne wyvern]

Besides Mnk which has the most positional requirements I’d put drg at second for them.

Sam at 3rd and nin at 4th.

[left whale]

Whats ninja’s flank attack?

[nocturne wyvern]

Armor crush.

[left whale]

Iiii seee

[nocturne wyvern]

Increases Huton duration by 30 seconds and hits a little harder from the flank and generates a little more ninja gauge.

You only need to do it every 30 seconds though.

[leaden ginkgo]

did ibuy the wrong secondary tool?

[nocturne wyvern]

As opposed to…?

[leaden ginkgo]

hand king

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t think so.

[leaden ginkgo]

i want the 350 shit

or is there no hand king seconarys

[nocturne wyvern]

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It’s just 70 gear.

[leaden ginkgo]

fair

[nocturne wyvern]

This isn’t a super expensive level 80 best in slot crafting piece.

[runic cairn]

there is not

[leaden ginkgo]

ive encountered an issue

my macro doesnt work for these 3;

i think it only works for 60's 0;

[wet grotto]

Macros don’t work for every recipe

[south kestrel]

I see some people running around in nice glamour while also using their current best gear, but wouldnt they have to reglamour their next set of best armour when they obtain that meaning they spend more and more glamour stones?

[warm snow]

Then come up with a macro that will work

[leaden ginkgo]

Where am I supposed to buy lvl60 gear? My gear is mostly lvl51-55

[runic cairn]

glamour plates

[leaden ginkgo]

time to make a new macro ;/

[runic cairn]

glamour dresser

[hot eagle]

also glam prism are rly cheap and easy to get

[south kestrel]

is this something that overwrites your gear at all times?

with the glamour

[warm snow]

Only in cities

[wet grotto]

Only changes the appearance, not the stats

[runic cairn]

glamour dressers are at the inn. you can use one prism to save an item there then apply it as many times as you want

[glossy flare]

it overwrites the appearance of a specific piece

if you change that piece the appearance will be that of the new piece

[runic cairn]

a glamour plate is a collection of glamours from the dresser that you can apply with a single click

[south kestrel]

oh that sounds awesome, thanks a lot!

[runic cairn]

you can link a gearset to a plate, which does apply it automatically when switching to that set if possible

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.

[leaden ginkgo]

i cant make a working macro i dont have enough cp and i cant meld hand king armor.

or tools

[modest light]

When can i start playing alongside my squadron>

[wet grotto]

Do you have great strides?

Try incorporating great strides + byregot’s blessing instead of preparatory touch

[obsidian patio]

stats?

[leaden ginkgo]

@wet grotto wouldnt be enough even if i did have enough cp

[vestal nest]

where can i get lightning shards?

[leaden ginkgo]

@obsidian patio https://i.imgur.com/HglBNeP.png

[wet grotto]

You shouldn’t be using that many preparatory touches

It’s a huge CP cost

[leaden ginkgo]

thats what my guide says tho ;o

[obsidian patio]

You're also wasting half of the muscle memory by not using a synthesis skill soon after.

[wet grotto]

That’s just a macro

[obsidian patio]

What level are you too?

[leaden ginkgo]

71

[obsidian patio]

Try this:

/ac Reflect <wait.3>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac Manipulation <wait.2>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Preparatory Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Prudent Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Byregot's Blessing" <wait.3>
/ac Veneration <wait.2>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.1>

uses 391 CP

[leaden ginkgo]

kk

[obsidian patio]

After you hit 72 and unlock Groundwork, you can swap the 4 Careful Synthesis with two of those

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont have manipulation btw

[obsidian patio]

[leaden ginkgo]

idk why

[obsidian patio]

do your class quests

[leaden ginkgo]

but thats hard 😳

[obsidian patio]

it's not

[leaden ginkgo]

);

[obsidian patio]

you're overgeared as hell for them now

you don't even need to do the level 68/70 quests

[leaden ginkgo]

well yea but its a pain in the nuts getting the mats for them

[obsidian patio]

just up to 65

[wintry chasm]

Stormblood ones don't need mats to be fair

[leaden ginkgo]

fine 3;

[wintry chasm]

ARR mats are easy

[obsidian patio]

You want Manipulation anyways since it's basically a better Master's Mend in most scenarios

[wintry chasm]

HW is ehh

[wet grotto]

Manipulation is a very important skill

[leaden ginkgo]

to get manipulation on all crafters i need 72 job quests >.<

thats gonna be aids

[warm snow]

You want an answer you get it

[leaden ginkgo]

no i mean i need 72, as in 9x8

[warm snow]

Oh no

Anyways

[wintry chasm]

Those quests are good anyway, no complaining

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont get anything useful from them though i dont think

[wintry chasm]

Materia, xp boosting items, the skills we just talked about etc

Also good plotlines

[icy bridge]

What do people mean when they say cooldowns?

[wintry chasm]

The time it takes for a skill to be used again

[warm snow]

After using a skill there's a delay before you can use it again

[icy bridge]

I know that much but i mean like

Stuff like

“Use your cooldowns” so just, do the skills?

[warm snow]

!skill assize

[runic cairn]

a tank's cooldowns are their defensive skills

[zinc orbit]

**Assize** : lvl 56 WHM (45.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 400 to all nearby enemies.
Additional Effect: Restores own HP and the HP of nearby party members
Cure Potency: 400
Additional Effect: Restores 5% of maximum MP

Powered by XIVAPI

[runic cairn]

that have moderate-to-long cooldown times

[warm snow]

Cooldowns are your off gcd skulls

Like assize

[wintry chasm]

@icy bridge honestly kinda yes

[wintry chasm]

Off gcd are skills that have their own independent cooldown timer and isn't connected to the global cooldown

[shut panther]

When people say "use your cooldowns" they're mostly pointing out it is almost always a bad idea to hold them

Ie common misconception that you should hold onto benediction or hallowed ground "just in case"

Like.. no. Throw that shit on everything.

In the case of something like Assize it's really easy to see the healing it does and think "oh I should save that for healing"

[cobalt burrow]

what does it mean by " action not learned" when i go to cast a spell?

[shut panther]

And again.. no. If you have to wait more than a couple seconds to get healing out of it, it should've just been used immediately

[shut panther]

... you haven't learned the spell, or are synced below its level

[cobalt burrow]

ah ok

[cursive ridge]

is Addle a worthwhile thing to think about?

it just seems so minor

[shut panther]

Honestly doesn't matter much in easy content

In hard content it's very important

[cursive ridge]

for like, raid wide aoe?

[shut panther]

Yes

It's possible to save your healers a GCD, or better yet make a mechanic survivable

[waxen wraith]

anyone know what Error Code: i2501 is on the ff store?

[shut panther]

generic we don't like your credit card for absolutely any reason error

[waxen wraith]

that is not good rip

[shut panther]

Square's store is kind of incredibly picky for some people.

[lethal mist]

I was told after I get the first 20 in the Sightseeing Log, the rest unlocks. Any other restrictions or are those the only ones with restrictions?

[shut panther]

There's probably nothing wrong with your credit card, but Square's payment processor has deemed it unworthy

[radiant rover]

i've just found out how to make a mouse over macro
I have a single line, which is /ac "Rescue" <mo> , but it doesn't work, why ? do i need to add something ?

[waxen wraith]

its fine, i was just gonna buy a cheap mount since i have no idea or when i can get one

[obsidian patio]

macros don't queue like normal skills

[vital ruin]

how do you get more than 3 logos actions slots

[obsidian patio]

so you need to use it while not in the animation lockout of another skill

you can somewhat remedy this by having the macro include multiple lines of the skill

so it can be 14 lines of the action and then the 15th is the macroicon line

[radiant rover]

Okay i'll try that, thanks

and thanks for the macroicon line, it's way better now

[cursive ridge]

are modern-style clothes like these available for in-game currency? or is this kind of stuff a real life money shop thing?

[patent citrus]

that one only real life money

it's korean school uniform

[leaden ginkgo]

guys i have a doubt

[cursive ridge]

it looks nice

[nocturne wyvern]

You can get a Hawaiian shirt and jeans in game.

There’s also a biker outfit with sneakers in game.

[leaden ginkgo]

when i started the game, the system asked me controller or keyboard

[nocturne wyvern]

So there are options.

[cursive ridge]

what about something cute

[leaden ginkgo]

i accidentally pressed keybaord

[shut panther]

There's plenty of modern style clothes available in game

[leaden ginkgo]

now i wanna go to controller

help me

[shut panther]

Just not that particular set

[nocturne wyvern]

Depends on your definition of cute.

[obsidian patio]

go to character config and press the button that looks like a switch between a keyboard and controller

[cursive ridge]

this big button in the Character Configuration screen

[vital ruin]

anyone knows how i can unlock more than 3 logos action slots? Need it for BA

[shut panther]

!item aethertight flask

[zinc orbit]

**Aethertight Flask** **:** Miscellany : ilvl 1 [Untradeable]

Powered by XIVAPI

[patent citrus]

I think most JP stuffs are cute since they have kawaii culture, but definition of cute differ from person to person

[shut panther]

You really don't need more logos actions for ba though

[patent citrus]

just keep playing and see if any outfit that other person use you like and ask the design at #glamour-discussion

[vital ruin]

though ill stack a bunch of spirit of thw remembered

cos the dood in the guide had like 6-7 slots unlocked

[shut panther]

Max is 6

[vital ruin]

o

i need that item?

the flask?

[shut panther]

That's how it's expanded, yeah

[vital ruin]

how do you get it tho

[shut panther]

Bunnies

[vital ruin]

Big F man big F

I'll just stick with 3

[shut panther]

Yeah it's not fun

[obsidian patio]

you really only need 6 for BA

[lucid narwhal]

Missing the 4th quest "Change of Arms" Any fix to this?

[vital ruin]

6 is the max

[obsidian patio]

do more of the bozja story

[vital ruin]

there's so many people in hudatis half the time I don't even get bunnies

[obsidian patio]

You need to complete Delubrum Reginae to unlock the i510 and i515 steps

[shut panther]

I mean, you don't really need 6 for ba at this point anymore

[patent citrus]

yeah to continue that one, you need CLL i think

[lucid narwhal]

ok ty ^^

[vital ruin]

so thats like near impossible to get

[patent citrus]

to unlock the 4th quest

[vital ruin]

i c

[shut panther]

I would recommend joining a voice chat with someone who knows the mechanics the first few times you're doing ba though

[cursive ridge]

are seasonal events different year-to-year or mostly similar?

[shut panther]

It doesn't really have any individual mechanics until the final boss so it's quite easy for a shot caller to do the thinking for you

[vital ruin]

yea im in the discord

just gotta watch the 3 hour guide

[shut panther]

And even the final boss it's only really like two individual mechanics

[vital ruin]

wut

[green grail]

there's some new rewards each year, and some recurring things like firework consumables or characters in the quests etc

[vital ruin]

i thought it was extreme level difficulty

[cursive ridge]

and i heard that they retire some yearly rewards, how bad is it?

[green grail]

you can google old seasonal events and see the different items, just look up the event name and 2019 or something

[patent citrus]

if they retire it, it usually go to mogstation

[green grail]

yeah they get added to cash shop for like 3$ after a year

[patent citrus]

it won't turned into "limited edition"

[shut panther]

It is about extreme difficulty yeah

[cursive ridge]

interesting, thanks

[shut panther]

But the mechanics have very little individual thinking

[serene dagger]

Is there any bonuses for getting the player commendations at the end of dungeons?

[nocturne wyvern]

You get an achievement at certain milestones.

[normal vortex]

can I make hq aesthete gear with these stats? I just got my ilvl500 white scrip gear

[nocturne wyvern]

The very last reward requires 3000 comms I think.

[cursive ridge]

ah dang it i thought the 'make it rain' thing is just the +50% mgp buff and didn't realize it had some quests and a vendor, completely missed it

[nocturne wyvern]

Use the crafting simulator option.

[normal vortex]

didn't realize I could use trial synthesis without the ingredients 🤯

[cursive ridge]

is there some sort of system that shows you available sidequests for your current job level?

[nocturne wyvern]

Can you clarify a bit more?

Oh! No idea.
