Where is this option
Right click
So maybe regullar dummy and take time?
From the glamour dresser
One sec, I got a picture I can use as an example of the separate dyes
This is the boots with Qiqirn Brown Dye in the dresser
But on the plate itself, it’s Hunter Green
Changing the dye of the one that’s Hunter green won’t change the color of the one that’s Qiqirn Brown
OK so i have FFXIV already installed from steam but ive opened a new account that is NOT linked to steam and im using another launcher that wasnt originally connectted to steam
And the same won’t happen the other way around
Stone, Sky, Sea - these are the dummies that are specifically tuned to your job and the DPS you should be doing for XXX fight. Gives you 3 minutes to do a set amount of damage.
If you're at level cap, recommend trying SSS against some Extreme or Savage "Stone Sky Sea" challenges, if you beat it then you know you're A-OK
Does it matter what company i join
No
Only in terms of the gear’s looks
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
is there a way that i can scan the pc for the copy of ffxiv already installed?
(Check link above for look differences and then pick based on your fave)
are these settings normal? I wanted 60 so I can have optimal "physics" but it isn't there
no but immortal flames are the best
Pretty sure not? Steam accounts are locked to the SE account they first connect to
In terms of the game data itself, you can do stuff to move the files around, but I don’t play on PC so I don’t know the exact steps. :/
It’s normal because it adapts vsync to 1/2 or 1/4 your refresh rate
looks like i gotta redownload
Half of 144 is 72, half of 120 is 60
uh could I ask for help in here?
If you had a 120hz monitor you’d probably see 60
regarding like trials and stuff
If you need help for queues, ask in #retired-na-datacenters
ok
I see. thanks.
thank you
Flames
if you're using ffxiv armoury collection, it links to lodestone
which you can switch to english
Can someone explain to me how collectables work for gathering? I've been reading that it's a good way to exp past lvl 50 but I have no idea how that works
Hey all - Question on hunts. I've notice that my friend and I's hunt marks are different. Is it just random? Is it based on your server? Trying to wrap my head around this.
!faq dolcollect
thanks
ok im going to go with cherry pink i think
When a quest sync min ilvl does it means the avg
Or individual item
is something wrong with my settings
Sync it's applied to all equipment individuallu
Should they be over the ilvl limit
Other people might be using gshade
Or you could just be somewhere with poor lighting in the game
You could try to increase your character's lighting too. System Config > Display Settings > Character lighting. Crank that to 100
But you are in a dark room. How does it compare during the day?
what is tps rel in e12s?
Thoughts per second strat for...basic relativity iirc
Blizzards bait first lasers, healers bait second by stepping to the side, tanks take 3rd
Everytime
here im not sure
also how do i change my resting pose
thank you!
i cant seem to find it
Try changing to game to full screen and see if it adjusts. You're in a cloudy dark area. Either wait till the weather is clear and it's daytime or go inside a very lit room
@dawn gazelle go to emotes and find "change pose" or u can type "/cpose"
Is there a way to get the cosmetics of eternal bonding without marrying someone?
The new star cruiser is account wide right?
I think the poses are automatic unless you manually select a pose?! Someone else can chime in that one
Anyone know the number notation people use in CLL? Like "034 up". I'm on JP DC not sure if this is the same on NA/EU DC
Thanks, I don't know why there was a warning lol no big deal
ty
It's the warning saying "you only need to buy this once, don't buy this twice dummy"
How to get yellow crafters scrips?
What sort of collectibles do they want?
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Rarefied items
Custom deliveries want whatever they ask for during that week
Ahh ok I see
Crafters can always buy the materials nearby
I have no crafting.
ok maybe im stupid but
if im searching for dalrida what is to prvent me from world hopping till i find a world that has one just popped?
and lets me join it
duty hopping i mean
Nothing is stopping you from leaving the instance and trying to get a new instance
is there an easier way to get to zadnor
than to click on a billion names
trying to get to seriesos
Hold X
i use controller
Ah
what does x do
Pressing X on controller targets npcs
Provided you're not targetting anything already
is there a way to
HOLY SHIT
ur right
ty so fucking much
u have no idea
how many spam clicks i usually have to do to hit this guy
is there a way
to tell what instance of zadnor this is
or how many players
are in it
hello! do you guys think ffxiv will ever be able to crossbreed seeds in apartments?
No
Probably not
Yes
ty
Unrelated, I love your new pfp @faint flare
damn
u guys know
the answer to every question
my brain is just exploding
with "holy shit i didnt kno wthat
Sho is cool
his new art is good
new player here, how hard is it to get a house?
is it more competitive in places like shirogane?
Oh it's fucking everywhere
fuck
Your best bet is 6.1 for ishgard housing
is it like an auction system with more gil?
Also a lottery system for 6.1
6.1 is changing housing
As well as wards specifically for certain types of housing
With lottery wards
!faq housing
Prices here
tyvm
Land pricing
so I got 10 bucks in my steam account; is there anyway I can make a steam version of mogstation account and buy something for myself during the trial edition?
Are you playing non-steam trial?
yes
Is the basement in small houses bigger than upstairs? It feels like it is
You'd need to buy the game for steam first
You can use the same trial non-steam account
wait what
But once it's a steam account you cannot go back
I want to buy something at the mog store
for myself
that'd be a waste of money then
I'm trying to convert my 10 steam bucks
Yea nothing you can do
into Final fantasy bucks
You need to own the game to buy anything on mogstation anyway
How do I disable other peoples names
Hey all, how to I clear/remove items from crafting "favorites" list?
Is the basement the same size as the top floor in Small Houses
Yes
it looks bigger lol
Yo I'm a level 30 lancer and I did my proof of might quest
I have a quest to become a dragoon which means I need to go to ishgard but I didn't finish arr story yet is that ok?
odd illusion
You're not going to Ishgard
You're going to the zone near it
Ishgard didn't even exist in arr
As accessible zone
Ohhh ok
So I won't be ruining the whole scenario because of a class quest
It's impossible to do that
Alright thank you!
am i doing something wrong or is it actually impossible to get enough stats to guarantee a successful level 50 squadron mission?
Unless you have godly chemistries to boost stats yeah it's hard to cap all stats
The level 50 missions basically require chemistries that boost stats if you want to cap all 3 stats
that makes more sense, i forget how to get new chemistries too
Check the board
also yeah it may be another 6 months before i get them all to level 60 
Or talk to the people individually
I usually just settle with hitting 2/3 stats and having all my chemistries bring in various currencies
i spam the exp training 3 times a day and this is all i have after lord knows how many months
Stuff like Gil, GC seals, MGP, and yellow scrips
how much gil can you keep on you?
1 billion
do you lose any when you die
So whats the point of hiring someone to hold it
For the extremely wealthy
For the mega rich
1 billion for each retainer i imagine
ah lol i guess i wont worry about that for a while
And for when yoy don't trust yourself with money
So you don't accidently fucking spend it all
(I should probably do the same, the golden Namazu mount is going to tempt me)
@sweet leaf do command mission, squadron mission is for scroll and no time to play
make your retainer look like Terry Crews so you never spend the gil you give him
command missions are so frustrating
they stand in aoes and die, half the time my CNJ ignores me when i'm low, etc
the only time it's easy is if I'M the healer, but all my healer jobs are 80 and i need dps jobs exp
stone vigil is the easiest but low exp at the level 55. Aurum vale might look harder but actually very easy as AI is not affected by stacks debuff
aurum vale is the single most painful i've done
@sweet leaf dont play tank, play healer
play healer, anyone you like and it is far better

this is the grind if you want to level them up
well if you play dps than choose range and do aurum vale
the only advice is eat morbol fruit instantly
yeah that's what i do, but the first boss wipes my squadies several times before a random rng run where it doesn't
because my other dps and my healer are in the aoe since my tank doesnt turn him
actually i don't remember which boss it was, maybe it was coincounters swipe
when is the last time you do command mission
tank does put boss away
also they don't get chemistry from command missions anyway
it really doesn't, i wish it does, which is why i just will not do aurum vale with my squadron anymore
he does not dodge bad breath, that painful i must admit
Hey ! What is the best place to farm the 'light' for the enhanced anima glass ?
@untold quest your level?
for HW relic?
recommend that you join a PF that spams A9S
that one is also annoying, but i have seen coincounter ten tonne swipe just KO my healer and then because no healer, my tank dies, and then i die. 
get more ilvl than recruit a whole party to farm that A9S
Never have done Eureka before, how long would it take to get to Anemos step?
ok thanks !
you can see if the PF is willing to let you join, doesn't require 8 80s, though you wont be contributing as much
@sweet leaf because AI only heal when HP% fall below threshold, it usually too late, which is why i say you play healer
ive done it pre-80 so its not really that big of an issue
Is gunbreaker hard to play as? Plan to switch to that once i reached 60
@sweet leaf you dont do it for your healer level up but grind for squadron level
i understand but i'm literally saying coincounter will ONE-SHOT my healer from full
No, they just throw a lot of abilities at you when you first start it might seem overwhelming
@naive ridge i have heard that farming the antitower is also a decent place for it. Is it true ?
machinist is unlocked at 50 wow :/
@sweet leaf how? when my astro with 40 DoM gear are not
halp only 29 guy with a bow
anti-tower isnt as fast as spamming savages,
the unsynced savages only takes like 2-4 mins a run, you'll be done in about an hour
I have a question about blue mage
50 and finishing post game arr
So I remember unlocking it through the quest and I learned water cannon
ok thank you ! y'all have a great evening !
But water cannon isn't here anymore
Then they're level 30
😫
MSQ should take you over level 50 by the time you reach Ishgard
when the battle starts, she doesn't move from where she's standing. my tank squadie runs up to him but doesn't turn him around. he uses a swipe and bam, my healer squadie is dead
@sweet leaf for god sake, i done aurum vale with AST 2 days ago, completely fine
how do u utilize swiftcast on red mage for dps rotation?
You can rdm or Sam right away at 50 and they start at 50
well i can try that then. frustrating part is that the last time i asked about command missions, people here told me only play dps 
plus it made sense
since i need lots of job exp for my dps roles
Anybody else having a hard time registering there payment method?
You can’t really. Should just use it for rezzes with no dualcast
@wet grotto i see, thx
Or for aoes
Wrong
Very wrong
You use it to fish for verfire and verstone procs when you don't have any
@fiery pagoda ^^^
what is good to farm for money at level 80 MIN and BTN?
gather a map every day for a free 40 to 50k by selling on the mb
specifically gazelleskin or zonureskin
found at level 70 and 80 nodes respectively
Hello! Returning adventurer here. Im trying to get into doing all The Hunt stuff, but im not sure how to go about it. Is it best to join an FC? Im not in an FC either so I should probably do that anyway. I guess just shouting in the hometowns is best?
should I always extract the materia from my crafting gear?
yes there's no reason not to
you can try and find a discord server for your datacenter in #resources
i'm in the crystal one for example
whenever anyone hosts a hunt train i get tagged and come along
ooh thanks fam. ill check it out rn
At which point in eureka do you get the shiny flashy armour
pyros
you need to collect 50/55 logos actions, and complet teh relic wepaon up to that point
then you need to go to hydatos to upgrade to shiny by collecting crystals there
thanks!
Can you unlock the normal armour Version in pyros or should I start for that again in anemos?
what are some excuses you can give to your FC members when you do not want to mic at all
normal armor is unlocked in pyros
glowy version is unlocked in hydatos
"i do not feel comfortable using a microphone"
if they don't respect it they're being assholes
or say you're mute or whatever
i see
one of my best friends does not use a mic
and they say "i am not comfortable"
and everyone just says "ah okay"
yea unless you are going to be a shot caller a mic isnt really necessary
most statics are fine with you just being in the call and not on mic
too much comms is bad anyways
wouldn't that make me look like a coward?
Why cant my friends use my mender in my apartment??
is MT a shot caller?
Ofc not it's just a game, dou T anyone would force u to do something you're not comfortable with
Or just say your mic jack is broken
not necessarily
If u tell em you don't have a mic, they might just tell u to get one haha
anyone can
Why cant my friends repair gear in my apartment?
its whoever is most confident to do it
my previous static had a healer that shotcalled
Are you asking about an npc?
i see i see
they can't use things in your apartment
Oh damn
you have to be a resident
Healers usually have a better view of the entire raid anyway
tanks usually do callouts because their rotation is simpler and they're usually watching the boss castbar anyways
but anyone can call
i think healers have it even better
their rotations are 2 buttons
and they are already on the lookout for incoming mechanics
and position of the team for healing
cryptlurker level 80 drk weapon
Thanks
cryptlurker guillotine
time to get revelations
note that only augmented is dye-able
when u want to buy how can u compare equipemnt from the shop with the one u r wearing?

right click > item comparison
thx thx
ty
I got another question
In the free trial can I fly in ARR zones? Google says it was enabled in shadowbringers
yes you get flying in ARR zones when you complete the main scenario quest "the ultimate weapon"
Ok thanks a lot !
i just put all my SCH skills on the hot bar and it look messy, can someone show me an example of how to put it properly?
how hard is it to get the lone hero title?
i know its hoh solo
but how hard or time consuming it is compared to potd
compared to PotD Solo, its easier but that said its still going to be a bit time consuming and a bit luck based
whats the best job to go into as? i assume gunbreaker
gnb is pretty good for it
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YVBSTOgJO-xOAB6YyKZEZRikjXFPle6Ihf_E7VdmQnI/edit would strongly recommend giving this a read thru
ty
If I got rid of gear I obtained during a Lv. 60 class quest - Is there a place I can get it back?
forgotten knight, centurio seal
how hard is it to craft 3&4 star item in free trail ?
Thank you, do you happen to know where they are located at?
@dusty shard not hard, just time consuming
Cancel that, found it
cool, thx
If you mean lvl 50 3 star recipe, you can just out level the recipe with lvl 53-57 crafting gears
@outer mural yo i was able to join the hunt stuff. thanks fam
now i need to find an fc. idk whats the best way to do old extreme content. Its hard with a random party
Even if it is lvl 60 3 star recipes, you just need to work your way up to good lvl 60 gears

All in all, just takes time
Depending on how old and whats your goal in doing these ex
What's the best source for getting ilvl 435 gear for my retainers?
If your goal is simply grinding for mount, you can solo ARR ex with lvl 70+ jobs
HW EX can be soloed, but some of the fight is probably easier if you grab 2-3 players to help out
!faq retainerbp
For your dow/m, you can just do lvl 80 dungeons
depends if they are a combat job or not
if they are gathers, just get yellow scrip gear
which should be easy if you just do your custom deliveries
How do I let my retainer bring back money on venture?
combat jobs, dungeons i guess if you dont wanna buy exarchic gear
I do quick venture all they bring back is just random gear pieces
retainers dont bring back gil
Lmao no I don't want to buy exarchic gear for my retainers
That's a but overkill
Combat jobs can use i430 artifact
if you're talking about the allagan pieces, you need to do 18hr ventures with them @ripe hound
And grab dungeon accessories
Just talking about anything that can be sold or turned into Gil
Then either do specific 1hr ventures that sell well on your mb
or just hope that quick ventures give you some good shit
Is there a way to salvage old/bad gear or should I just vendor them for some gil?
turn int he gear they bring back for dungeon seals and use that for gil
Yeah, tbh I should check venture for mats
whats a good class to level with a summoner, whm?
outside of wait kaelwyrn said, you're suppose to sell the junk the retainer bring back, but quick ventures arent really good for that cause its usually random junk, quick ventures are good for leveling though
Turn them into GC or Desynth them
@remote egret scholar
Both are vastly better then vendoring
They share level
Never vendor
As they are both using Arcanist exp
scholar , is that a pretty good healer?
Yeah, I keep doing quick venture at max level and all they bring back is gear
what is GC and desynth? 
Grand Company
Desynth is breaking down gears into materials
Which can occasionally yield rare items
you can desynth that for seals and use those seals to buy mats and sell those
GC = Grand company
Desynth is something you unlock at lv30 of each crafter and requires you complete a quest
aight I'll look into it, thanks for the answers! 😄
They are all good
i wanted to do them synced once first, but idk if its even worth doing that. my goal is the mount and one-time challenge
If you don't want to play healer, just sticking with summoner is fine too
for the grand company i assume you can "quasy-vendor" the stuff at a grand company representative in town?
retainers are great for gil, but you still have to put in the effort to know whats worth selling or how to turn what they are bringing back into profit
buuutttt yeeaaahhh
Just to make sure that you have the right expectations, you can't mix jobs and skills together
Is there a way to turn off mannequin name displays?
you're competing with multiple people on that frotn
So you cannot make a Summoner with healing skills
@trail edge it is very subjective on whether it is worth it or not
ARR EX will not feel the same because we are no longer in 2013
maybe ill try to get mount first, then just come back synced
Do yellow script gear hits the cap? Do you mean white script?
Take note that we have a thing called Unreal Trial
It is basically ex trials, brought up to lvl 80
You do get to experience the full difficulty of these trials
Thanks, I’ll give it another try
But it is in a rotation
So at any given time, there is only one unreal trial
That's how it works for the time being
yeah white scrip gear starts at 440
@warped nest ah nice got it. its all of arr and heavensward ones?
Does the Elmore yellow script hit the retainer cap?
Won't get to HW anytime soon
Do you not buy level 60 weapon with Tomestone or am I looking at the wrong place? I see Armor and Accessories, but not weapons though
no they dont cause handking set is only ilv 350
you're looking in the wrong place
Yea that's what I thought so I need white script, not yellow script
Oh ok. Thank you :D
Is it 100% that the basement is the same size as the top floor in a small house? It honestly looks and feels bigger.
is there a log to see which aether currents i have and how many im missing ?
travel menu > aether currents
For reference, some of them comes from quests
man all ive been doing is MSQ and i am almost 10 lvls higher then those quest.... im gonna be lvl 30 i have to wait to get paladin cause of msq lol
ok so as a summoner if i want to pick up the second job as scholar how i do that?
just go find the first class quest?
Go back to Arcanist guild
is the green ones locked behind quests? or vice versa
gotcha
back in the arcanist guild there should be another blue quest
thats for scholar
so take off the soul crystal and go back to the arcanist guild?
@native skiff green is open map exploration
but if i wanted to do whm i have to basically start back at level 0 as a conjurer?
Yellow are quest, green are open world
doesnt matter, you're still an arcanist you just have the summoner jobstone equiped
level 1, but yes
k
only expansion jobs start at an elvated level, like ast/drk/mch starting at 30 or samurai/red mage at lv 50
so conjurer uses a different weapon but all the other gear will be the same, cloth?
but classes will always start at lv 1
Yeah
Only a handful of gears are completely exclusive to a specific Job
But most of them are shared by jobs of the same role
Healer, in this example
yeah if you have your old casting gear
that should work fine
Is my Free Company experience buff just always working or do I need to go somewhere to get the buff once the leader activates it?
It will just works once FC leader or FC officer with the clearance activates it
You don't need to do anything on your end
So how do you get better gear for better damage output or defense?
I have a Lancer retainer, if I give it DRG it stays the same level right? If I give it a diff job, say DRK does it reset its level?
Story level as in the level of your current MSQ
Put it simply, for more output, you need more stat, for more stat you need gears with higher item level
Lv31. I'm doing the "A Song of Bards and Bowmen" I'm getting destroyed by mobs
Yeah, DRG share lv with Lancer
Are you grabbing multiple enemies in one go?
The DRK will start from lv30, DRG will always be DRG’s level
Specifically, it will keep the level when upgrading to a job (drg), but changing it again would need a reset
Actually I can't reach my quest location
Ok I missed the retainer part so disregard everything I said
"Changing it to a job" Could I make it go into something that isnt DRG? Or will that reset it anyway?
But yeah, you can give a Lancer Retainer DRG or DRK, and he keeps the level I think
No I'm avoid pulling them but I can't survive without accidentally pulling 2 other mobs
I didn't pick up my story mission and forgot it's location. How do I find it?
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
you can change it to whatever as long as it meets the requirements for it. But if you go lnc>drg you would need to reset for drk
How do I unlock the lvl 70 scrip exchange?
You can go lnc>drk though yes
Maokee, that image
Oh that's easier than I thought. Thank you
erm... so how do we use marco and why would we use them...?
In most cases, you don't use macro
Alright, so if i lnc>drk rn itll keep the level i just gotta fiddle with gear? Thats fine
yep
@wary sand
A. Have you checked for alternate route
B. Have you use gyashl green to summon your chocobo companion to fight by your side and to provide healing
C. Do you have lvl 20-ish armors (ignoring accessories, those are terrible until lvl 50)
Something completely different, does anyone know how to set to show only your detrimental effects on enemies, but show all on allies? Currently, if i turn on 'Show only your detrimental effects' I cant tell, as a healer, how long a debuff is on someone
whats the chance of getting bitter memories (level 60 dung) for 3rd stage of shadowbringers relic weapon?
wonder if its worth just doing leveling roulette instead
and waiting
@errant walrus cases where macro is useful and practical:
A. Crafting
B. Pre-made Party messages
C. Certain combat oGCD abilities (applicable to less than 10 abilities out of all 17 Jobs)
1 per dungeon
do they need to be level 60 exactly
yes, ppl run antitower for it
A. The quest is in a cave with mobs.
B. No idea how to get chocobo to fight since I can only use it to ride
C. Not full lv20 armor. Some are still lv15 from the quest I get from them.
In case C, some Jobs have the ability to target and place ground AOE, you can use a macro to automate the targetting
What's a Macro?
You can buy gyashl green from NPC and use it to summon your chocobo
You can spec your chocobo with various tank, Dps, and healer skills
(the recommendation is to go with healer skill)
Since it is a level 30 quest, you probably need lvl 25 ish gears to be more bulky and to kill enemy faster
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/My_Feisty_Little_Chocobo quest you need to do to use your birb to fight
Macro is a pre-made instruction you can write down
To add on. Generally recommended is ul heal to lvl 4 to get choco cure> max dps>max healer >tank last cause the tank skills are trash
Take note that it is by intentional design to be not very good for combats
You should not make a macro to do combos for you, it is very very bad
@warped nest thanks. I got it done. I used other playere as a bait. Lol
^
Lol
Macros are very useful and convenient for crafting, and other qol stuff like spicing up your UI
If you need some lvl 25+ gears, you can check out your Grand Company
And supplement the rest by looting dungeons
Yep
You almost never need to purchase vendor gear for your main job
Alt jobs depends if you hoarded dungeon gear
Ok
The msq+ dungeons give a healthy supply of gear
Cool thanks
It is 132
Still bad
5% magic reduction
Why is that good
timed correctly can be huge
Mostly the 5% mit
Most of your spells aren't 120 potency
The 10% GCD heal++ helps?
In a raid, it boosts your co healer healing too
Idk have to admit I don’t know how to SCH
Hmm good point
More heal = fatter shield
Can't rmb if irs limited to GCDs or includes oGXDs
I need to start using that then
But I’m like darn that’s a lot more bigger than my CU
I got confused by Directional damage and Positionals. One guy said to me "SAM, you know you have positionals, right?" I guess that positionals mean abilities that use Kenki because I don't see directional damage anywhere in my abilities. Am I wrong? I'm just confused because so far game for me was mostly based on trial and error.
Since it says Magic, not Spell
Most abilities in most jobs have some form of use
I want to say it is both GCD and oGCD
Hun I thought Magic means Spell?
Except stuff like... repose
@finite pawn Sam has directional bonus in the form of gaining more kenki
how does it work? Because I don't think it's said anywhere in game in abilities.
!faq positionals
Flank are the sides. Rear is, well the ass
Although SAM doesn't get the positional req until iirc 62
At lvl 52, your Gekko give 5 kenki in combo if you do positional correctly
Before 62, all yourbskills have no positionals
AH, ok, got it.
At lvl 62, your Gekko give 5 from positional, and 5 from combo
should i main 2 jobs on each role
because sometimes there's already the one i play the most
5 is just using it at 52. Positional 62
Because I've been playing DRG before that and there directional damage is more clearly written everywhere.
Ok, thanks
@leaden ginkgo whatever makes you happy
@finite pawn you should be quite comfy with sam in that case. Its also 1 flank combo and 1 rear combo
That is very true
This is what was confusing for me.
That being said, always aim to do your positionals whenever possible
Free dmg is still dmg
Kenki gauge translates into more dmg
i mean im a main ast when i want to find a party they want other jobs like sch
Same answer
Its not required. But personally, on top of your reason, playing other jobs helped me learn the game much better

Knowing the challenges of each role definitely makes you play better overall
Playing a tank make me realized that most Dps are idiots
well i havent level them all
just 4 jobs left to level them max
nah
I didn't have the strength to do monk or machinist
completed post-shb before 2 weeks
Nice
Monk is just so... Bland
do you guys also get that bug where the housing areas are not accessible in the tab nor teleport?
even the entrance
Both are fun in their own ways tbh.
for arr relic, how many times do i need to do leves for a particular one to show up ? is it completely random?
Anyhow I should probably stop, this is a question channel after all
i like playing mnk but those posiitons
@leaden ginkgo yes, random
are level 60 EX fights doable on LVL 80 solo to get mounts?
They are
But the latter few is not worth the effort
You are better of with a small team
like, hours worth of leve spamming random?
cuz this thing really isnt spawning
EX?
Yes
I have questions about the Companion App.
It says with Premium we get:
+1 Extra Chocobo Saddlebag
Is that an extra +70 inventory space, similar to the chocobo saddlebag we have in-game?
Thanks haha
They are designed for i430 ish
The max ilevel is 530
@leaden ginkgo probably not hours
@leaden ginkgo usually do 1 leve and check the list again
Yeah, that
yeah my friend ended up doing several
and it still didnt pop
i went and did it myself and it popped for me, so im wondering if he doesnt have something unlocked

The NPC just pull leve from a small pool of choices
apparently he keeps getting the same one back
kk thank you
does the handsaint gear not generate spiritbond?
what you harvest though?
spirit bond only generate when the level of thing that give exp within certain level of your gear
say 10 level ahead or below, outside that, no spiritbond no matter how many you kill, gather craft
i kept dying at the last second when doingwall to wall pull
usually i use invicible into double miti, double miti
should i kite them or just stay in one pace
the dude accepted the leve a few weeks ago and never knew lol
it was at the bottom of his journal
XD
is there a way to autosort my inventory?
right click any item
@leaden ginkgo that's fucking hilarious
ikr he was at it for 3 hours
Is there a good resource for Blu raiding/statics on crystal?
the masked carnivale discord is kinda dead.
Centurio Hunts has a role for BLU content, I think
Maybe not. Here’s another server for BLU. Not sure how active they are:
https://discord.gg/NCmfrej
Does the eureka weekly scale with zone, aka if i try to achieve them in anemos at lv50 itll scale me down?
Wait nvm i just remembered the lvl req
hey guys is it worth saving the Allagan Tomestone of Poetics, im in the final few patch contents in ARR
yes
save it till current expo?
because every expansion has poetics gear that is a good carry on into the next expansion and so forth
so get an full irons works set
save up more poetics for shire set to bring into the 2nd expansion
and so forth
so would i just save it till i get to the shadow bringer content and buy gear then
save it till you can get better poetics gear. mind you shadowbringers is the 3rd expansion.
You would buy gears at lvl 50/60/70 stories
essentially this ^
ahh ok, so once i hit lvl 60, i buy the best gear i can get, and same at 70
Technically it is lvl 58 because you reach that location at lvl 58
buy gear as needed
But you get the point
Poetic get you the top endgame gears at each expansion (aside from the current one)
where can i got Ser Aymeric armor and blue blade as well?
specfic vendors in there respective zones, like iron works comes from mor dhona, but shire gear comes from idyllshire in the hw zone and ect
and only after you beat the base story quests for each respective expansion
would
Caller's Armlets and that set of gear be similar to what you're saying with iron works?
that looks like a lvl 60 armour (210 ilvl) for summoner
Does anyone know the name of these cupboards in housing?
yeah you get it for free from completing the lv 60 job quest
however
shire gear is ilv 270
thats a big difference
and allows you to go through all the dungeons
without being gear gated
cause ilv requirements to enter later dungeons are a thing
ok ill track them down
thank you!!
what happened to the exp i got from leves after i got max level?
it goes on a magical journey
discarded like excess gil on free trial
ngl i thought its converted into gil with 1:1000 rates or something
for ShB role quests:
physical dps = melee and ranged both?
might wanna delete that last message just in case :p gotcha, thanks
I feel like they might've said endwalker will split them up
where do i find the settings to put on hovering text?
i turned it off without knowing what it did and i cant find it
which spell increases my chance of getting HQ items when mining?
When tank-swapping, should I turn off my stance after the OT provokes?
not sure if this is the right place or #glamour-discussion
but, how do i play the TRUE endgame? is there a checklist of some sort, are items marked somehow?
quite a few of them
it will say int the tool tips
but earliest one is unearth/leaf turn*
Does AST's Synastry still increase healing on a target that the single target heal is also being used on?

and which stat increases HQ chance? perception?
Yea
What’s better: +1 GP or +3 Gathering/Perception for last meld on Aesthete?
fit as much gp as needed
and hit your breaking point based on the budget you set
quick question about leveling my 2nd job, if i switch jobs then turn in an msq quest exp goes to whatever my active job is?
Yes
so long as they are of or higher then the msq quest
Hi all, I obtained some gazelleskin maps and would love to do them, however, using party finder in game yielded 0 interested people. Where is a good place to find a group for these "low level" things?
so no switching to level 1 and turning in a lv 79 quest
@swift frigate ask your FC
yeah they have the foresight not to let something like that be abused
I'm a fairly new player(1 month) and my current fc only has 1-2 people online at a time
so how do i catch up my 2nd job to the msq?
daily roulettes was best for me
Quick question: i got a glamor I want to use and I am of the appropriate level and class but still can't wear it. Why is that?
few options, the most popular one is hunt logs and palace of the dead
hmm
@visual viper gender locked?
palace dead is the most straightforward one
might take you a bit
but its straight foward nonetheless
The torso doesn't specify gender so I assumed for all genders
@visual viper inventory space ok?
Yup.
What is it?
Ovium Wool Coat of Healing
is there a certain number of enemies its more efficient to spam AOE on as machinist vs single target? im about to hit 50 for skill reference
Lvl 76 requirement but I'm 78 on AST.
you can use it to boost single target heal. Best is target the off-tank, while heal main tank so both get healed
can i put it on the mt and single target them for a boosted heal or will that not work?
stack
@visual viper exited out of all windows? Such as vendor windows?
Or FC chest window
Etc
Retainer windows
yes.
Just tried and no
as long as you're healing someone in the party with a single target spell, Synasty will take 40% of that amount and put it on the person you're paired with
I think that's the one thing about glamour I don't understand
Are you trying to glamour the Ovim Wool coat to look like something else? Or glamour something else to look like the coat?
I don’t think you can glamour a level 50 item to look like a level 76 item for ex
what materia should i put for my exarchic star globe
Glamouring something to look like the coat. I haven't thought of that. I'm gonna mess around to get it to work. Thanks for the help. :3
question as a healer, as a DPS/Tank, I have the enemies progress/cast bar at 200% and they're always selected, but as a healer, I have to have players selected in order to heal
I want to know how I'm able to keep the enemies progress bar on screen while another thing/player is selected
Does RDM Dualcast proc off Swiftcasted actions?
or you can follow the enemy list and watch casts that way
no
Cool thanks
does that mean I have to edit the progress bar on focus target in HUD setup
because I tried that
but the cast bar isn't in its usual place
for fish without any crafting use, is the only use of them to desynth them or vendor them?
putting them on the market seems like a super unlikely thing to pay off
looking at gamerescape they're in GC turn-ins so you can try it, check the sale history
but otherwise yeah just trash it
https://i.imgur.com/xsjj6x4.png how do i get my hp to look like that?
So i plan to buy the whole game (im EU) and now i wanna know, do i get the expansion that comes before shadowbringers with it or if i prepurchase endwalker do i get shadowbringers and the expansion before shadowbringers with it? Also how much monthy would i have to pay the subscription? And do they accept paypal?
aren't basically all fish in the GC turn-ins, but there's so many different fish it's unlikely this one will be selected?
Why wasn’t they given me a belt?
Probably mod I think
F
which is the best place to level as a miner? i am currently at lvl 28
do mounts go on sale on the online store?im planning to buy the red hare
look at your gathering log and choose a place that is slightly higher than your current level
does anyone here use shaders and if they do which one do they recommend?
@pale bronze since you ask about subscription, you do not own Starter Edition right now. So buy Starter Edition(base + HW) than pre-order Endwalker(both Stormblood and Shadowbringer are included), sub fee is 15$ per month. So if you want to play Endwalker content, buy it now cus it locked up until you finish post Shadowbringer quest line, and it might takes several months, albeit you buy story skip, which highly not recommend due to story value
if you pre-order endwalker right now only having base game, you will only have access to base game and heavensward until endwalker release
oop, misunderstanding
Can someoen answer question about squadrons?
just ask
complete edition is on sale for like 2 more days for 16 euro that gives you all till shb, also yeah preordering endwalker would give you the old expansions but only when it releases and for sub prices
!faq subprice eu
hi I am trying FFXIV for the first time and I'm wondering about jobs and classes, like what is the difference?
i unlocked squadrons, but they wont let me do anything until I recruit a 4th, but i cant recruit a 4th because i cant do missions to make them enlist. How am i supposed to do this, it makes no sense?
challenge log missions
They come after you do a "deed" to inspire them so just challenge log until one pops up
i upgraded my gnb relic weapon to law's order without the effect
how can i get the Recollection effect
@wooden brook you ask this at the last day of challenge log of this week, no wonder it seems impossible to recruit the 4th
yea there is no logs to do, it seems impossible
wait exact 24,5h for the weekly reset and you should be good to go
Any challenge log thing you do has a chance I think. If you can't do it today it resets tommorow so it'll be super easy then
and almost forgot yeah you can use paypal also for sub but you would need to buy crysta first so you can use the crysta to pay for the sub
heh
As it's technically categorized as an accessory, you don't get belts or accessories as part of your starter outfit
the event gives a icebear mount for free?
you need an augmented law's order before you can get a recollection replica
Pretty sure they're the same. You have combat classes for fighting, crafting classes (for instance, smiting) and "collecting" classes like mining. Each of them have separate exp but you can be whatever you want on the same character. You just need to swap your main hand after unlocking the class.
Is there any way to make the enemy healthbar on the HUD clickthrough? I have it in a position I like but it gets in the way sometimes and I click on it on accident.
yes, it is very stupid.
why = (
search me, mate.
Thanks
@olive bolt
Sorry that didn't ping you
Anyone know the deal with the quest where you have to use the duty finder to confront Thordan VII in the Singularit Reactor. Done it twice now and havent advanced quest
np thx, but can for example lancer become a dark knight? Cuz I read that gladiator can only become paladin etc.. or something
Yeah it's pretty linear. I think Lancer becomes dragoon.
@olive bolt every class becomes a specific job
That being said, expansion jobs have no base class
You'll be able to unlock dark knight separately later on
ok thx
For the weekly (biweekly?) TT tournaments, is there a minimum ranking for the Platinum card packs?
anyone know if i change my retainer to rdm if it becomes lvl 1?
For the TT tournaments, you compete against other players or npcs?
@mystic perch have you done the dungeon, the one with the 2 phases final boss? if yet, by the end of cutscenes there should be destination to interact to unlock the trial

I think so, will do it again
May o left and didnt intereact with it
Where can I find a party to run Memoria Misera with when I'm new to the fight?
@mystic perch no need to do it agian, interact with the ADS there to get inside
@mystic perch the one you first interact to unlock the dungeon
I can see two dungeons when i click on teh entrance now
@mystic perch wait me a bit to get there
What does the ??? symbol mean if it appears on msq? Have I done all msq? Thx
you can do both, but players give much more points
will get a screen shot, i dont think i did the second one ye, most likey did the first one ttwicw i think
for NPCs you need to win all of your matches to have a chance at top 20 for your server
meanwhile for fighting players even draws get you good points
on the tracker?
or as a quest reward?
thats what i did cause the next one is 8 man ty
Yes on top left
It'd appear as "To be Continued..." if you've done all MSQ.
what happens if you click the tracker?
ok havent done this bit fixed ty
@obsidian patio pls see screenshot
What happens if you click it?
Goes to map
so i was doing diaex and i used gerasgokul and then went into thr teleporter but instead of teleporting i just fell off
is this a thing for only jump based attacks?
no MSQ icon at all anywhere on the map? What was your previous story quest?
@leaden ginkgo bro, go back to DoW or DoM
Honestly I cannot remember I just see ???
Might've not gone through the center of it. The hitbox can be pretty precise.
@leaden ginkgo you are a botanist and it not allow DoL to do MSQ
also the debuff that stops you from using the teleporter for a short duration.
i went through the center to the end but the teleportation didn't register and i fell
Journal tab and completed missions
it only happened after gerasgokul which was very weird
Oh ok I need to change classes to do msq? But I already done all msq it is no saying ???
does it still show ??? if you're a combat class?
Yea
That’s why I went botanist
Cuz when I was combat class it ???
So I thought I finished all
where are you in the story
Okay, go to the Journal > Completed Quests > and go to Main Scenario Quests
should be the first two squares in that menu on the left
hey! i just set a ceremony of eternal bonding, but i didn't get any blank invitations, is this a bug? or did they change it ;w; my partner got 40 though ;u;
when you see ???, the next quest is right next to where you finish the previous one
How do I check journal to show which quest is pending?
J is the default
Think you have to go to a NPC and get invitations from them?
he done it already
I'm doing the relic part quest where I need to do 60 dungeons. Can someone please tell me how to do those dungeons while synched?
Recommended ones are the antitower and the great gubal library (hard) but they seem to be unsynched? What can I do about this how to queue
synced/unsynced are in your settings on the top left
you haven't or it would be in the completed quest list
I recommend PFing it and doing it on blu. Otherwise just queue for sntitower normally
Have you done the Hades trial?
Is Antitower not required to be synched?
i dont think any of them are required to be synced
If I change those I'd need to use PF or ask people to join me, can't queue
Only asking cause of this
are you doing HW relic or Resistance relic?
none of the shadowbringers relic steps can be done unsynced for when it wants dungeons/raids
Resistance
resistance requires synced
it must all be done synced for the items to drop
just queue on duty finder
The ones synched here?
yes
any of the level 60 dungeons
Is there a transmog system? Curious about buying some Saucer armor for the sake of appearance
anti-tower is recommended because it is the shortest
doesn't need to be the ones with a sync icon on them
!faq glamour
yes there is a glamour sysyem
