[clear bronze]

is there a good site to tally up all the mats required to craft a full exarchic set
so i can easily ggo to the market and buy exactly what i need

[grave wind]

Anybody got booted out with an error saying you are logged in somewhere else?

[lunar nexus]

Relatively sure Teamcraft can do this with lists

[wanton niche]

do i need to get gold in fates for a chance of gaining atma for relics?

[spiral inlet]

can I get to dragons nest

from ishgard

aetheryte?

er falcons nest*

[west willow]

i haven't played for about 2 years and about to return. Stretching my legs is going to be a struggle

are buying houses still pretty difficult in this game?

[lunar nexus]

Yes but there’s a new housing area coming out in 6.0

[west willow]

oh yay!

hopefully that alleviates some stress of getting one

[timid remnant]

How does raid loot work in this game? How much drops, how is it distributed etc. in each type of raid?

[twilit arch]

6.1

is when ishgard housing is being released

[lunar nexus]

oh

[sacred crag]

What quest do I have to do in order to reach heavensward? Do I have to complete the "moving to ishgard" msq?

[queen fern]

Heavensward starts after the quest, "Before the Dawn".

[sacred crag]

ok

[queen fern]

Does anyone know how to farm Duskborne Aethersand?

[sacred crag]

I made it heavensward, but I didn't get the trialer that's why I am asking

[queen fern]

I've been looking for stuff to break down to get it, but none of the timers I've found online work.

[queen fern]

I don't remember seeing a trailer when starting up Heavensward.

You're just at Camp Dragonhead, right?

[sacred crag]

yes

[hoary veldt]

how do i get ui bacxk?

whats the keybind

[timid remnant]

scroll lock

No idea on console

[delicate kernel]

I'm looking for the Razer Naga Pro but I cant find it in amazon weird

[wet grotto]

Are you getting high collectability?

[queen fern]

No, I mean, I just can't find anything I can break down to make Duskborne Aethersand.

[wet grotto]

Garland tools is also good for timers

[queen fern]

I've been looking on Gamerescape for the spawn timers.

[wet grotto]

Use garland tools

You can see what drops what and when

[fleet steppe]

as sch, should I use seraph in tough situations or just whenever the cd comes ups

[vestal widget]

any recommendations for fish to catch for good gil? lvl 80

[leaden ginkgo]

heya, I just got this result from the benchmark:

6341 ("Fairly High")
Average Frame Rate: 4,602965E+07
Minimum Frame Rate: 17

No idea what happened there with the avarege frame rate, I ran it twice but got that same result

It seem like I'm good to go? Not sure if the benchmark matches much of the real game experience, so I though I'd ask

[naive horizon]

Use it when you can, it's free and the two heals are good for raidwides

[dire tendon]

Question:
The Free Trial includes ARR and Heavensward, were I to purchase the basic full version, does that include ARR and Heavensward then (I assume yes) and also, if the basic full version is purchased, will the "Full" full version (with Stormblood/Shadowbringers) be cheaper then the usual 40bucks?

[chrome basin]

How do I know if an item is dyeable?

[wet grotto]

!faq dyeicons

[zinc orbit]

How can I tell if an item can be dyed?

[boreal storm]

Good job kupo

[wet grotto]

Is the image not loading?

[boreal storm]

You failed us

[wet grotto]

One sec

[chrome basin]

thanks

[honest lotus]

Do I need to buy the starter edition to preorder the new expansion or could I get a subscription and I’d be able to?

[raven sage]

You need to own the base game to use expansion codes

so yes you would need at least the starter edition

[honest lotus]

I c, thank ya

[twilit arch]

don't blame kupo v_v its discord's fault

[solid basin]

Do I need to do Omega's storyline to have better context for ShB?

[twilit arch]

hm not really

[warm snow]

Only for one dungeon, but the writer of endwalker recommended getting it done before november

[twilit arch]

it helps with some details, but the overall story can get it just fine w/o it

ishikawa basically recommended doing everything with taht comment ;d

[warm snow]

Especially since ||one boss from the benchmark bears more than a passing resemblace||

[solid basin]

alright, thanks! Gonna wait for my friend before doing it then since he needs poetics for his relic weapon xD

[solid basin]

Even the alliance raids? :<

[mossy delta]

any way i can prevent back pedaling completely ? even in legacy mode with a/d set to strafe, my character goes slower when I go backwards diagonally, like if I press S+D or A+S

[twilit arch]

ye but like don't have to do everything

[solid basin]

Guess I'll do alliance raid once im done with ShB since i need to do it to unlock bojza

Gotcha o7

[fickle radish]

hey how long does it take to gather 300 collectables? i want the achievement

[twilit arch]

not really that long cos you don't need to get any collectabilty on them for the achievement

[fickle radish]

ah ok thank you!

[boreal storm]

So that’s like 5 collectibles a node

If you don’t add gather attempts

[devout lichen]

so I wanted to get sultan's fists so I went to the wiki to see how it's started, I'm confused, help

[steep swallow]

How does the whole recruit a friend thing work? I just finished the post-HW story, and I've already purchased the complete edition since it was on sale, just haven't activated it yet. If I want a friend to be able to take advantage of the recruit a friend thing, when do I need their code?

[wet grotto]

Sultan’s fist is the monk’s HW relic

[hot eagle]

before you pay for your first sub, so you have like 30d to use it after you activate your cd-key and get 30 free days

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to turn this off so it dont show up in chat anymore? https://i.imgur.com/JjLpkoT.png

[devout lichen]

yeah but there is all this

which one is the one I want

[warm snow]

Adree you activate the base game but before you actually buy game time

[hot eagle]

anima is the hw relic

[wet grotto]

Anima is the weapons you want

[devout lichen]

whack, thanks

[pale vessel]

How hard is getting dyeable lvl.70 job gear comparing to the lvl.80 sets ? I got the lvl.80 sets for my jobs, Miseria ex was a little hard but it was manageable

[boreal storm]

Eureka

That says enough

[steep swallow]

Okay, so in about 30 days, or just whenever I start actually paying for a subscription instead of using the free days that come with the complete edition purchase?

[twilit arch]

a bit time consuming, not that particularly hard tbh

[hot eagle]

it's easy only grindy since you need to do eureka anemos for these

[devout lichen]

so wait, do I need Hyperconductive Verethragna before getting sultan's fists

[leaden ginkgo]

what chat log setting do i turn off to get rid of these? https://i.imgur.com/JjLpkoT.png it spams my chat

[lyric warren]

how do i enter floor 31 in HoH?

[twilit arch]

yes you have to progress thru the steps of the relic weapon

so first step for the anima weapon is animated

then you need to upgrade it to awoken

etc

[devout lichen]

I see, cheers

[hot eagle]

need to use the RAF code before you pay for your sub, so anytime in the 30 free days

[wet grotto]

For the crafting logs, own synthesis messages

[heavy grove]

Question: for the last Nier raid, after you've received loot for this week, you won't be able to receive any loot again if you run 2nd time this eek?

[lunar nexus]

Last one is infinitely grindable now as of this patch I think

[wet grotto]

You can, they removed lockout

[hot eagle]

only the cracked clusters are weekly, no limit on gear/coins

[heavy grove]

so i can roll on gear again if i run 2nd time?

[wet grotto]

Yes

[hot eagle]

yes you can greed/need all

[heavy grove]

awesome

great way to gear with 520s i guess.

[steep swallow]

Okay, thank you!

[dire tendon]

So, the Endwalker pre-order says it includes SB and ShB but it also says that they will be available once Endwalker goes live.

So If you pre-order Endwalker on a ARR+Heavensward account you wont get access to SB and ShB content from the pre-order until Endwalker is live? That seems a bit nonsensical

[lunar nexus]

It does but it’s the case yes

[hot eagle]

since you can't redeem the full game before it releases, so you don't own it before

[boreal storm]

You get the content when it comes out which is November

[edgy thunder]

Hey guys new to ff14. I just finished my chocobo quest and wanted to get the Spriggan. I noticed it says "This item will be distributed to all characters on the selected account.

• This item is limited to one use for a single character."

Does this mean no future characters will receive the mount?

[twilit arch]

no, it means you can only use it once on each character

[fickle radish]

should i level cul or btn first, theyre the first gatherrs/crafters i want to get to 80

[twilit arch]

so you don't like buy it multiple times

[dire tendon]

Huh, that puts me in a weird spot where I either buy the full expenasions version for 40 and pay another 40 for Endwalker or buy the base full version+Endwalker for 60 but not have access to SB and ShB until Endwalkers live.

[hot eagle]

also square itself doesn't charge you for your pre-order till shortly before release

[boreal storm]

Account-wide, one person unlocks it then all future characters can also use it

[edgy thunder]

Sweet, thanks for the reply

[honest lotus]

@dire tendon I’d assume you’d buy starter edition then the new expansion for a total of 60

that would have everything you need right but you’d have to wait to play the other two

[dire tendon]

yea that sucks a bit.

but its probably the best way

[honest lotus]

yeah I’m on the same boat

That’s why I’m just slowly going thru the starter edition and not rushing cause there’s no need to

[hot eagle]

sadly you missed the sale for the complete edition that ended on the 18/19th were it was like 16 euro

[dire tendon]

Oh dang.

Unfortunate :/

Does it happen often?

[lunar schooner]

Is there like a discord for treasure hunt parties i never seen any in the in game party finder?

[fickle radish]

centurio discord

[hot eagle]

hard to say if we get another before endwalker since it's not long till november and we just had a long sale

[dire tendon]

Yea would seem weird.

Was probably in anticipation for Endwalker

Welp, base version it is.
Gunbreaker, Samurai and Dark Knight have to wait.

[hot eagle]

you can be dark knight, it's a heavensward job

[honest lotus]

I think you get dark knight in base version

yea was about to say

[dire tendon]

Ah, alright.

Well atleast something.

😄

[outer plank]

for BLADE’S WEAPON MATERIAL LIST for the relic, is it better to do raids

or fates in zadnor

[spare loom]

anyone know a fix to this?

[outer plank]

or critical engagements

[wheat plume]

When EW gets released, will I be able to equip the new jobs with Scaevan gear?

[boreal storm]

Yes

[wheat plume]

thxs

[hot eagle]

yes sage uses healer gear and reaper uses maiming

they should also get a scaevan weapon at release

[wheat plume]

is it true Reaper will be able to use every DRG gear, or only some sets?

[knotty lily]

Every set except the DRG specific "Artifact" gear, the job specific gear for that job only

[hot eagle]

we only know it uses maiming so don't think it can use drg job/af gear

I hate auto correct xD

[dry lichen]

is there more voice acting after arr? i feel like its sorely lacking

[wheat plume]

so everything except pieces that say "UNIQUE" or af, right?

[leaden ginkgo]

You can try #technology-discussion, but from what I've seen it's easier to just do a clean reinstall with that error.

[knotty lily]

Yes, much more - they also hired better voice actors. You can tell they got more budget.

[knotty lily]

Sorry, thats wrong - I'm talking "Job specific"
Dragonlancers, Drachen, Wyrm, etc.

[wheat plume]

yeah, it pick ups a little in post ARR content, and it pick ups A LOT in Heavensward

[dry lichen]

good to know i wish the hildebrand stuff was voice acted

im lvl 57 and still doing a ton of arr stuff for lore/story lol

[boreal storm]

No voice would be good enough for a manderville man

[wanton niche]

how many fckn fates does it take to get those shitty atmas -_- im in eastern thanalan for almost over 20 fates now ...

[knotty lily]

Make sure, really make sure you have the Zenith Relic weapon EQUIPPED or you wont get one

[hot eagle]

can be 1 but can also be 100+ if you are rly unlucky

[dry lichen]

so for the ilvl 90+ stuff would it be better to just keep doing msq into hw then return?

[hot eagle]

rng bein rng

[knotty lily]

But even still yeah who knows. 100? 200? 5? Thats RNG at its best

[wanton niche]

you kidding

[wanton niche]

it is...

[knotty lily]

The i130 Ironworks set you buy from Mor Dhona is the only one you should worry about getting, just collect it as you go (weapon first)
You'll be handed poetics by the bushel, but you can always do some poetics roulettes if you feel like you need more Poetics

[obsidian patio]

My worst dry streak when I recently did an atma was 10 fates or so

[patent pelican]

I posted lengthy questions for help in glamour discussions. Should I bring it up here, or...?

[wanton niche]

22 now

[obsidian patio]

Which zone?

[wanton niche]

eastern than

i also would like to know if i need gold medal or if i need to stay in there for the whole fate

[obsidian patio]

Needs to be gold

[knotty lily]

Oh also make sure you have free space in your inventory, you wont get one if you dont have space
(consider summoning your chocobo to make things go faster too)

[dry lichen]

where do i buy that set?

[wanton niche]

my inv always got space 😄

[obsidian patio]

Looking at the question, feels too specific for this channel :/

[wanton niche]

ye, ty!

[obsidian patio]

I’d also help on the question, but I exclusively only play male characters and have little knowledge on female glamour items

[patent pelican]

Mk, anyone be sure to tag me if yall think you can help

[knotty lily]

Aelina I think? Could have the name wrong but The NPC in the tent at the top of the ramp anyways, one of the girls in there has Ironworks gear.
I suppose you can also buy from Sundry Splendors in Main cities like Uldah, Limsa and Grid now that I think about it

[dry lichen]

found it ty didnt know that existed 🙂

is there anything else i should be spending allagan poetics on?

[knotty lily]

Not at the moment - you'll use them later too though because they also buy gear for your job at level 60, and level 70. And soon level 80 after EW.
(Or if you have too many you can start collecting gear for your alt jobs I guess, preparing for the future? w/e)

[obsidian patio]

If you don’t have access to the Idyllshire/Rhalgr’s Reach vendors, Ironworks gear is basically your only option

[knotty lily]

Just make sure you go for the weapon first, always keep weapon the highest ilevel you have access to

[obsidian patio]

There’s a few collectibles from the ironworks vendor, but not really anything to make Gil off of

[dry lichen]

is idyllshire/rhalgr's in hw?

[knotty lily]

Idylshire in HW (level 60), Rhalgrs in Stormblood (Level 70)

[dry lichen]

ah ok, i bought that content just havent started yet

[verbal rune]

Btw

Are diamond weapon weqpons better than exhairc?

[knotty lily]

Yes generally, Diamond EX weaps are 525

But Aug. Exarchic only hit 520

[grave wind]

Uhhhh... Which GC is recommended?

[knotty lily]

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

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:

Grand Company Gear

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.

[knotty lily]

In short: Only difference is the look of gear you get to buy, check the link above to see examples

[verbal rune]

What is better than diamond ex weapons?

E12s?

[knotty lily]

Augmented Cryptlurker weapons (530), then E12S and the 535 Relic

[wet grotto]

Cryptlurker

[verbal rune]

Oh, cool

[knotty lily]

Whoops, wrong Cry ty

[verbal rune]

Ty

[grave wind]

Sooo... Gridania is the yellow one, Limsa is red, and Uldah is black?

[wet grotto]

Yes

[knotty lily]

Basically, yeppa. There is more gear not shown there I think, hunt gear?

But it all has the same aesthetic

[wet grotto]

You change GCs later if you don’t like the one you chose

[knotty lily]

Oh no it is all there, nice

[grave wind]

Cool~

Well, Limsa seems to be the most visually pleasing so I guess I'll go there. I love the edge of Uldah though

Gridania just makes me wince 😅

[knotty lily]

To each their own!

[sleek needle]

Yes

[grave wind]

Thanks!

[sleek needle]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[sleek needle]

Technically a side quest

But need to do msq up til that point

is doing Zodiac Weapon are more annoying than Anima Weapon?

[obsidian patio]

Definitely

Anima is just a giant poetics dump

Zodiac has lots of annoying steps

[clear bronze]

anyone here familiar with teamcraft?

i need some help

tryingg to make a list of all the materials i need for a set

but im not sure what to click one once ive selected all the pieces

on this page

i clicked the eye on the top right but that doesnt show the materials

[obsidian patio]

No idea, I only use the simulator

[clear bronze]

any other websites do something similar?

i just want a list all the materials on one page

there was another gear website ive used in the past but i forget the name

[obsidian patio]

Garland tools lets you make crafting lists and check off materials

[honest lotus]

would crafting be worth to start in free trial or should I wait till later

[boreal storm]

Yes

[unborn geode]

just hit level 50 ARR and it says I have to increase my item level before progressing to what I imagine is the end of vanilla. I can't start the duty without raising my item level, and I'm curious whats the best way of doing that?

Question, trying to clean out my armory chest.

But it won't let me sell things I want to, like Weathered Sheppard Slops.

How do I get it so I can sell em?

[rancid onyx]

is it worth taking those over the 30k mgp?

[raven sage]

If she has something you want

[boreal storm]

If you want the items

[raven sage]

That's up to you

[boreal storm]

I went for the minions first

[raven sage]

Neither are inherently better options unless you want something specific

[hasty sand]

I don't need level 60 RDM gear. And it's clogging my inven, but it won't let me sell it.

[hasty sand]

Fair enougj.

[hasty turtle]

discard or put them away in the glamour dresser

vendoring gear for gil yields basically nothing either way

[warm yacht]

Would using the zoom modification that lets you zoom the camera all the way out be risky?

[hasty sand]

Donation for Doman/Ishgard restoration

[wet grotto]

It's for you to judge, would zooming camera all the way hurt/hinder your performance?

does armory bonus apply to crafting professions?

no

How long does the chat "temporarily" switch? Long enough to reply to the previous message(s), until logged out (or status change), until changed back, ...?

[raven sage]

Are the clothes you're actually wearing a higher level than the glamour you're trying to wear?

[green grail]

you can't apply higher level glam to lower level gear

[late cedar]

Hi,
I am playing in the free trial and want to upgrade to full version.
I heard one can do it with Paypal. but in the Square Enix account among the payment methods I don't find paypal.
Is there someone here who upgraded to full version by paying with paypal? How did you do it?
I appreciate any help in this issue.
Thanks in advance

[last patio]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wow I feel extra dum dum now
thank you guys

[obsidian patio]

Go to the square enix account management site and buy crysta with PayPal

You can also try trusted retailers that accept PayPal

Like Amazon

Just make sure the seller is square enix and the condition isn’t used

[hasty turtle]

i bought it from here https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565219/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download

[warm yacht]

Do Zodiac weapons have a condition like the later relic questlines where the first time doing it is the hardest and then subsequent weapons are easier?

[late cedar]

problem is in my account I don't have option to buy it (or maybe I don't know where)

[hasty turtle]

you can't actually use paypal on amazon directly

at least where i live

[obsidian patio]

Square enix account management site is different from the mogstation

But looking at the square enix store, they do accept PayPal at least where I live in NA

[late cedar]

Where do I find it in the Square Enix management site please?

I mean, to buy Crysta

[delicate kernel]

how do I get recipies for weapons and armor I already joined all the guilds

[vernal lily]

is the Crystal tower thing a filler to the msq or something?

[patent citrus]

No

[valid musk]

those grand company does it gives something extra or do i take what ever i feel like ?

[obsidian patio]

No

[twilit arch]

no its required for later on

[patent citrus]

But I guess you can access to the materials easier on 2nd weapon

[obsidian patio]

Level up

[lunar stratus]

is there any difference between grand companies? do i need any research or something i should now before choose.. or choose randomly?

[twilit arch]

choose whichever one looks cooler

[delicate kernel]

level up my char?@obsidian patio

[valid musk]

k

[lunar stratus]

what was your choice?

[twilit arch]

i went with maelstrom cos i like black and red

[late cedar]

Mine shows different and don't have add crysta option

[obsidian patio]

Not sure then. :/

[lunar stratus]

okay i go with your choice dude. thanks a lot for answer.

[patent citrus]

Not available for all country

[weary jungle]

can someone explain this?

[patent citrus]

Country like AU don't have access to Crysta

[patent citrus]

You get 1345 more seals bonus for rolling a tank

[faint flare]

Other way around

1344 for being a tank

[late cedar]

So, another question:
If I buy the full game from any retailer, can I still have my character from the trial or do I need to restart with new one?

[faint flare]

You'll get 200 seals regardless

[faint flare]

Trial progress carries over

[weary jungle]

is it only if it's the first time doing it?

[faint flare]

The top line is the daily bonua

[patent citrus]

Oh right.

[late cedar]

thank you

[faint flare]

Bottom is for being that role

[obsidian patio]

Adventurer in need is infinite, you just need to be the listed role

[faint flare]

Adventure in need is spammable but negligible bonuses

[obsidian patio]

It’s okay for seals if you’re low level

[patent citrus]

Ok got it

[weary jungle]

I have completed it today but i aint getting the seals

[obsidian patio]

But the experience/Gil isn’t worth it

[faint flare]

You haven't completed it for today

[weary jungle]

oh yea nvm

[faint flare]

You sill have the bonus marks

[weary jungle]

i just found out i queued the wrong thing

omg i did it agian

[patent citrus]

I remember however you suppose to get double Gil whenever you do adventurer in need. Scale with level as well?

Like 7k ish on wiki

Instead of 2k like what shown there

[obsidian patio]

Yeah it scales

[patent citrus]

Ok Ty ty

7k is for lv 80

[obsidian patio]

So a level 80 gets around 15k Gil per roulette just from the daily and role bonus

Not counting the Gil from the duty itself

[patent citrus]

Yeah

[rain gust]

Anyone know where I can find action IDs? Or how I can find them myself?

[unborn geode]

can you buy rings on the market board?

[obsidian patio]

Garland tools probably has action ID somewhere

If not, you’ll have to datamine the game

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[sinful holly]

so im missing like 4 more things from the i found that miner, and im not sure where else to look, right now its all full

[leaden ginkgo]

does this mean i get more in 38minutes? https://i.imgur.com/lJvExpW.png

[sinful holly]

yes

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

very epic

is there any quicker way to mass do this.. its taking for ever

[rain gust]

Thank you! Garland tools has them, albeit not in list form. I'm surprised no list is easily accessible from searching.

[patent citrus]

Need to turn in manually

[obsidian patio]

Scour/Brazen Prospector/Meticulous Prospector/Scrutiny?

[zinc orbit]

Information

To save a character use !glamour save

[wheat pulsar]

Given that GC provissions and xp etc scale with level, should I leave it until late game to grind it out? Be it level 60-70
I've paused all crafting/gathering until i unlock Ishgard Restoration soooo

[sinful holly]

no like.. stuff to mine im at like 216/220 for the BiS pickaxe

[patent citrus]

Resets daily

The gc one

[wheat pulsar]

Oh I know, I just mean, if I wait until level 60, it would probably reward more than like 5 days of doing them at level 15 lol

[obsidian patio]

Check your 50-70 logs, a few ephemeral items for those level ranges got added in 5.3 or 5.4 when they revamped gathering collectables

[patent citrus]

So if you reach LV 70 in few hours. If it doesn't change item until the next day

[vague wedge]

thanks lots !!

[patent citrus]

I don't like provision either way, rather take all exp from Ishgard resto

[autumn oasis]

What color is this? I'm partially color blind and am having a hard time matching the color of my legs to this color

[obsidian patio]

Looks like Soot Black, Jet Black, or Gunmetal Black

[autumn oasis]

Thank you!

[obsidian patio]

Depends on the “material” of the item

[sinful holly]

yeah its all collected

[obsidian patio]

Any missing folklore books?

[patent citrus]

Is there any folklore book from ARR to SB?

I only ever saw the one in Eulmore

[obsidian patio]

ARR doesn’t have any, but HW/SB do.

But with them being that close they should have most of them

[patent citrus]

From scrips exchange as well? Hmm

[obsidian patio]

So it could be a missing book or two

[patent citrus]

Ok Ty Ty.. I haven't got them then it seems..

[proud mirage]

a friend of mine is saying þat in endwalker you'll be able to switch server wiþ character for free? is þis tru and if so will i need endwalker

[obsidian patio]

No.

If they mean home world transfers

Cross-datacenter visiting in a region is being added sometime before 6.0, with a rough estimate of September/October

And then global Datacenter travel being added later on (no specified/rough date given) after they gauge the server stress that DC travel within a region causes

[lunar stratus]

how that guy is already serpent captain ? he's only 13 level.

[twilit arch]

he's on an alt job

[proud mirage]

ah i see, so like being able to visit worlds rn, but for data centers

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[lunar stratus]

that game have many things... hard to understand lol

[twilit arch]

you can be all jobs on one character

[obsidian patio]

The first iteration will allow Aether/Crystal/Primal people to visit each other, same for Chaos/Light for EU, and Mana/Elemental/Gaia for JP

[lunar stratus]

wait a second, im conjurer trying to be white mage... if i get bored, can i change it to let's say for archer?

[twilit arch]

yes

You'd be a lvl 1 archer

but yes

you could change to archer

[heavy wadi]

you can play every class on one character

ye

[lunar stratus]

damn, that's weird... but cool also, so no need for creating new char...

[unborn geode]

Is there anyway to get a boosie fade haircut? some games offer it

[proud mirage]

char aznable cloning

also last dumb question, will i need endwalker to visit or nay?

[spark silo]

is there a limit to how many squadron members i can recruit?

[obsidian patio]

8

[spark silo]

i see

thanks

[obsidian patio]

Probably not.

Nope

[proud mirage]

mk, gud, very hyped for þis feature, cause randomly all my friends decided to get into FFXIV þis monþ but no one asked me what server i was playing on, so everyone is on primal not crystal

[obsidian patio]

Doesn’t look immediately recognizable from the different hairstyles I’ve seen in-game, but if it is it’s a default hairstyle that might be race-specific.

[patent citrus]

If you just started and want to be in the same fc as them

Might as well redo char in primal

Cause right now, you can't play with them

[final girder]

I'm trying to do my lvl 40 squadron mission. The problem is no matter how my stat changes I can never have a successful mission. Do I need to level them up or am I missing something ?

[boreal storm]

Just level them

It’s just 5 points

[sinful holly]

does the stuff in diadem count towards the mining achievement?

[final girder]

K thanks

[obsidian patio]

Due to the nodes not having a specified level, they don’t count towards any non-diadem achievements

The clouded nodes (the ones with the green materials) might count as a level 80 node for the “Mining Shadowbringers” achievement, but you can finish that vastly faster outside of the diadem

[sinful holly]

thank you

[rancid onyx]

does drk have enough sustain to solo stuff like war?

[obsidian patio]

Definitely not.

[weary jungle]

should i become a white mage? and how do i become that?

[obsidian patio]

TBN isn’t as good as Nascent Flash and Abyssal Drain isn’t good for single target healing

[obsidian patio]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[boreal storm]

Conjurer guild

[rancid onyx]

first you have to become a conjurer and get level 30

[obsidian patio]

Upgrading to a job is practically mandatory

[weary jungle]

ok i have all that

[fervent bronze]

what do you usually do with fish? sell them?

[obsidian patio]

For most of them, yes

A lot are vendor trash

[fervent bronze]

how bout the spectral ones

[obsidian patio]

Same thing

[fervent bronze]

aight

which ones are the ones you wanna keep

[obsidian patio]

Though the Megalodon can go into the aquarium

So it might be worth a tiny bit more

[fervent bronze]

oh yea

got that

[obsidian patio]

In terms of Ocean Voyage fish, basically none but the megalodon

[fervent bronze]

apparently it's worth 16 gil

[obsidian patio]

Ok not the megalodon

[forest laurel]

late, but for flagged missions, you need ALL 3 stats to be met in order to finish them.

your best hope would be to just level your squadron enough to the point where those stats are actually met

[steep heron]

sometihng wrong with my macro?
It wont fire

[forest laurel]

there needs to be a space

/blueaction "Eruption" <t>

not
/blueaction"Eruption" <t>

[steep heron]

thank you!

[rancid onyx]

if i have a swiftcast raise macro and use it while swiftcast is in cooldown, while i still cast raise?

[mossy delta]

do mount speed bonuses affect chocobo porters?

[forest laurel]

yes, you will still start hardcasting raise. though I would highly recommend not using a swiftrez macro because macros for combat are generally bad, because they have an inherent delay. you can still fit everything you will ever need into 3 hotbars (assuming you're a pc player)

[forest laurel]

no they don't

[mossy delta]

sad, thank you

[flint oak]

can I calculate how much exp would a craft give without actually crafting it?

[rancid onyx]

what about text macros? like saying something when i activate living dead

[delicate kernel]

how do I hide spoiler?

[forest laurel]

erm
I guess that's an acceptable usage because healers do kinda need to be warned if they're not paying attention enough

but even then, living dead in dungeons should NEVER be used ideally.

it's the worst invuln in the game, and you will make scholars cry

[rancid onyx]

i mean its better to have 10 secs before i die than dying outright

[raven sage]

There's nothing wrong with using it if you need it

[feral nebula]

Is there smth i can do with useless materias i wont use?

[raven sage]

If a healer can't heal you properly for it then you were going to die anyway

[rancid onyx]

ive ever only used it when i pull too many mobs

[remote lintel]

i have a text macro on living dead

its w/e

[frail fulcrum]

Is lost excellence similar to lost manawall?

[faint flare]

Yes

[frail fulcrum]

Ok thanks

[faint flare]

However lyon duel in bojza still requires manawall

He cuts through immunity

[frail fulcrum]

It's for meneius, but thanks for the heads up

[faint flare]

Excellence can replace manawall on all duels except bojza lyon

[frail fulcrum]

Nice

[warm yacht]

Does anyone have a list of abilities that have you place the aoe on the ground as a targeting thing after casting?

[modest laurel]

Hello! I have been trying to find a way to only show my own effects on 'focus target' but I just can't find it. I found the setting for your regular target, but no same setting for focused target. Am I just blind or is there none?

[patent citrus]

None

[modest laurel]

damn

that's a lil annoying

[patent citrus]

[patent citrus]

And none on other pc

[modest laurel]

I just don't want to see DoTs made by other party members on focus target

[patent citrus]

Cause what they cast can't affect you

[frozen thistle]

hey guys, how is Post HW compared to Post ARR? No spoilers please

[faint flare]

Shorter quest wise and better

[patent citrus]

Example?

Ohhh you mean debuff?

[modest laurel]

yes

[patent citrus]

Yeah you can do that

[modest laurel]

oh?

[patent citrus]

Hmm I forgot the setting sorry and I'm on my bed..

Yeah you can disable other people dot on your target

Or debuff in general

[modest laurel]

well I did at least find that option for your regular target

but not for focused target

sadly

[patent citrus]

Oh you are right.. I haven't fiddle onto that yet..

[modest laurel]

would be helpful as I use focused target always as healer

[patent citrus]

On hudlayout right?

[modest laurel]

the less clutter I have on my screen while doing hard raids, the better for me

yeah

I found these settings on Character config --> UI settings

I guess I'll take more looks tomorrow

[restive cairn]

Anyone able to help me with my Squadron? I can’t seem to get the lvl 40 flagged mission to happen. I have 4 members that are above 40 but the mission never shows up

[river vortex]

how do i play as a scholar (at a really low lvl btw) ?

[patent citrus]

What level

[river vortex]

Just physick and adloquium

30

[patent citrus]

Yeah, spent gcd heals for now

If shield is melted fast enough, spam dlo

[modest igloo]

fairy heals and adlo will cover you for the early dungeons

[patent citrus]

If not fast enough, switch between adlo and physick

[neon fog]

What do I need to have unlocked to unlock ShB raid series

[modest igloo]

5.0 complete, and 5.3 for the last 4 raids

[gritty oracle]

Eh, I disagree. If the shield isn't gone by the time your next adlo cast finishes, they don't actually need healing.

mostly fatfingering

[sinful nacelle]

If you're farming skybuilder's scrip, are there any particular collectible that is more efficient to craft than others?

[shut harbor]

Someone said I was a bad tank because I wasn’t spamming unleash do I have to spam that?

[modest igloo]

yep, its a dps gain on 2+

also keeps aggro

welcome to early DRK

[patent citrus]

Yeh just spam the aoe

[shut harbor]

Because I’ve been only using it when I attract mods in a group but he’s mad that I’m not spamming it

[patent citrus]

Yeah you could lose aggro

[shut harbor]

Ok

[patent citrus]

Just spam it

[shut harbor]

Ok

[knotty lily]

This game is allll about maximizing DPS no matter what role you play (Tank, Heal, etc)
And for tanks, as mentioned - when theres 2 or more, spamming it is more damage

[modest igloo]

you dont get the 2nd part of the combo until 72 which sucks

[knotty lily]

You get an AOE combo (Part 2) at level 72 so save room for the second AOE button

[modest igloo]

i had to turn down sound effects when leveling drk lmao

[shut harbor]

Ok thanks

[opal sorrel]

Is there a website people use for how to play a class

[shut harbor]

I guess ill spam unleash

[modest igloo]

wesk alber on youtube, has 1-80 guides

[agile laurel]

Math it out. If Unleash potency multiplied by amount of mobs is greater than your single target attacks, spamming unleash is optimal damage

[lofty meteor]

hi chat, i would like to ask i have an american region registered account on SE, if i use EU key for activation does it go through? or do i need the US key ver?

[opal sorrel]

@modest igloo ty

[patent citrus]

Us key

[untold willow]

is there a way to level chocobo companion faster other than challenge logs?

[agile laurel]

weskalber guides or the balance discord - avoid Desperius, as they are renowned for clickbaity inaccurate content

[lofty meteor]

use*

[patent citrus]

Kill max level mobs

[opal sorrel]

Will we get new skills when endwalker comes out

[patent citrus]

Like LV 80

[shut harbor]

Ok

[agile laurel]

Oh fuck, wrong reply. Meant to tag @opal sorrel

[patent citrus]

Well you can watch weskalber guide as well teen

[untold willow]

oh rip my highest level character is 57 so i just need to progress more then

[patent citrus]

The DRK one, it's good

[golden monolith]

Is there a way to block or ignore a person?

[opal sorrel]

@agile laurel can u send me a link for the balance dis

[untold willow]

yes right click on them and add to blacklist

[agile laurel]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[patent citrus]

Ok then kill LV 59 stuffs

Or LV 57 normal mobs

[opal sorrel]

Ty

[golden monolith]

What if I didn't meet the person, is there a way to block in another way?

[untold willow]

maybe if u search up their name in the friend thing you can block them there?

[patent citrus]

But you shouldn't need to level your Chocobo.. why do you want to level it?

[earnest solar]

yo, are gc leves a one time thing or do they reset?

[waxen siren]

I’m a bit low on Gil (around 400k) after buying some exarchic pieces, any advice on how to make gil, preferably quickly

[untold willow]

i wanted to get the chocobo barding from leveling it lol

[patent citrus]

Should be auto level up when you progress through msq

[shut harbor]

So attract mobs then use unleash while using buffs

[patent citrus]

Cause a lot of overworld content

[modest igloo]

use unmend to pull the set then spam unleash, thats trash tanking pretty much

[agile laurel]

Its just the equivalent of using aoe damaging abilities as a dps - you just have less interesting aoe buttons for the time being

[shut harbor]

Should I just spam spam it or use it after every dmg combo?

[modest igloo]

spam spam

[patent citrus]

No man just spam it during trash pull

[shut harbor]

Ok

[agile laurel]

Spam. Again, math it out - there’s no point

[untold willow]

hmm okay i just checked and i think you would need to send them a tell and if they respond then you could right click on that name in chat and blacklist them

but you cant blacklist them through player search

[shut harbor]

I didn’t know it was that important lol

[valid musk]

where do i find my run action ? its been moved from the bar 😦

[patent citrus]

Just so make you don't lose aggro

[agile laurel]

P, general

[shut harbor]

So pull with unmend then spam unleash got it

[agile laurel]

Honestly, you may as well just run at the mobs and spam unleash

[shut harbor]

True

[valid musk]

is there also a way to see an armor piece before you equiped it ?

[shut harbor]

You pull anyways with grit

[agile laurel]

Opening aoe pulls with unmend runs the small risk of stuff running past you while your gcd spins

[shut harbor]

Ok

[valid musk]

in wow you had ctrl and press the item to see the appereance

[agile laurel]

Rightclick item

Try on

[shut harbor]

Bruh I was being a trash tank this whole time 😪

I feel bad for my teammates

[agile laurel]

hey, trash tanks don’t bother to try

[valid musk]

this game is easy but im not thinking the easy way since wow fucked me up 😄

[patent citrus]

But that guy should be nicer

Calling you a trash tank

[agile laurel]

the bottom denominator is lower than you think

[patent citrus]

Can he just say, please spam unleash

[shut harbor]

It was two people

[modest igloo]

yep, might as well forget everything you know from wow lol

[valid musk]

it seems so 😄 btw for gladiator that heavy gear armor sucks hard tbh

[agile laurel]

ff seems like an easy game compared to WoW til you see where the challenge lies. It’s in different parts

[shut harbor]

True

[modest igloo]

that is earlygame gear for ya

[patent citrus]

Isn't wow just have 5 buttons rotation?

[dull valley]

what the heck is this thing?

[modest igloo]

wait until you see the dark souls armor late game

[rancid onyx]

in what order should i get lv60 squire gear?

[obsidian patio]

The resplendent tool for Alchemist

[paper trout]

It has its challenge just like FF does

[valid musk]

play a healer and you have more stuff to do :p

[agile laurel]

Calling WoW rotations ‘rotations’ is honestly inaccurate by the wording, nowadays

[paper trout]

Also that

[faint flare]

Weapon > chest/legs > heads/hand/feet > belt and accessories in general when upgrading geae

[paper trout]

Nowadays it's more of a priority flowchart than a rotation

[agile laurel]

Bard is the closest thing we have to WoW and then not even

[valid musk]

ok next wow ability...... do we have transmog in FF14 ? :p

[rancid onyx]

should i get gear for my tanks or healer first?

[agile laurel]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

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.

[valid musk]

hoppa 😄

[patent citrus]

And need to hate yourself so much to play in that kind of community

[paper trout]

Better transmog that doesn't clip your character model

[earnest solar]

hi, are gc leves a one time thing or do they reset? need to farm seals to get expert delivery

[leaden ginkgo]

they reset

[earnest solar]

thats sick ty

[elder herald]

hey i got my crafting to level 60 but when i try to craft the next tier in ishguard it fails should i just craft the level 40 stuff till i get to level 63 or upgrade my gear?

[agile laurel]

WoW has its parts it excels in, and its parts it flops. You’ll find that the bar is set at more of an equal standard here

[silver ruin]

should be upgradinng at 61

[paper trout]

WoW pretty much only excels at raids nowadays and even there it's fallen short recently

[valid musk]

it seems i cant do glamour bc i did not do the quest ? i am following msq and im level 29 ?

[silver ruin]

do you have a glamour prism

[agile laurel]

Haven’t done the unlock quest

[modest igloo]

correct, quest isnt part of msq

[agile laurel]

Assume everything has an attunement and you’ll be right more than wrong

[valid musk]

the raids are to easy to clear tbh 😦 reason why i left..... i do love to get stuck at a boss for a few weeks

[paper trout]

Do mythic raids, you'll get stuck at a boss for a few weeks

[valid musk]

okay i look it up on youtube

[paper trout]

That said, from what I've seen of FF so far it looks like the raids are waaay better here

[valid musk]

nah with that io raider you get easy groups, you can get boosted also for low gold since the game is getting close to be dead

[paper trout]

Not in mythic

[valid musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQxIuKtfrAk i dont know if i will pay attention about the quest or keep looking in her eyes 😄

[paper trout]

Mythic groups have specific lockouts so you can't just pull anyone in whenever you like, it's like a static in FF but stricter

[patent citrus]

#not-ffxiv-discussion

[silver ruin]

you skip a floor in xiv you lose loot from lower floors for the week

[agile laurel]

Difficulty lies in different areas. While the classes/jobs in FF are conceptually simpler to optimise than WoW by some considerable measure, the mechanical complexity in challenging content would be out of place in even mythic raids in WoW

[silver ruin]

and first few months it locked so you only get loot the first time you clear for the week

[agile laurel]

but yeah, we’re past the question now

[silver ruin]

and chests for gear get affected by how many people have cleared for the week

[paper trout]

True, and yeah I agree everything has its place, and sorry for perpetuating beyond the end of the question lol

[civic spoke]

Is there any way to check the loot rules of a party?

[agile laurel]

It’ll be shown on the duty finder pop window

If it wasn’t made clear in the party finder listing

But party finder listing doesn’t actually mandate the loot rule, it’s just what was written down, so it’s best to check on the window before you join the duty

I believe it also says in info text/chat when you zone in if the loot rule is non-standard

In short, really hard to miss

[wheat shore]

If I were to use fantasia to swap to a male would my armor swap for me automatically? I'm using the DRG wyrm set, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use it anymore if I swap.

Yes, it would

And no, there isn’t

This was directed at me, correct? Just to be sure, before I pull the trigger.

[agile laurel]

Yep

[wheat shore]

Gnarly. i'm tired of simping out for my miqo'te

[agile laurel]

No armor is body type restricted unless it outright says so on the item

I.e, some mogstation crap and the rathalos armor to name a handful

[wheat shore]

Ohhhh, i just figured. It seemed sort of sexualized, and so I thought maybe there was a different armor type for both genders.

[nova karma]

ok ty

[agile laurel]

Its appearance varies but the item does not

[agile laurel]

Except for these

The appearance’ll simply change

[peak crag]

Does anyone have a rough estimate for drop rates of the memory crystals required to upgrade your resistance weapon for the first time?

[twilit rampart]

how does the ingame alarm actually work. When I put timer on it to wait for some resource nodes, it alarms always at wrong time. Seemingly randomly too. And for sure not the time I set it to 😄

[agile laurel]

100% for fates outside of bozja, unsure for within bozja

[peak crag]

wait it's more efficient to do it not in the new thing, huh

cuz I did 3 bozja fates and got 1 yellow thing

[agile laurel]

Yep! Funny how that is huh

Drop rate in bozja is ‘hilariously less than 100%’, that’s for sure

Books are consolation prizes for raid clears and exchangeable in varying amounts for the drops

[patent citrus]

No

[ripe hound]

Wait you don’t get books when you do them unsynced?

Never knew that before

[patent citrus]

Notification is only works with local time

[agile laurel]

You do

[ripe hound]

Oh

Yeah

I’m brain farting

[livid vortex]

u get the normal loot too when u run unsynched xd

[patent citrus]

You can't get notified 5 mins eorzea time before

[ripe hound]

lol

[glacial sail]

Hey im at like level 24 main story quest and for like the last while now pretty much every quest is just go between places and talk to people over and over again. Does this ever change or are the quests just constant traveling then dialogue?

[livid vortex]

it will happen less when Heavensword starts. ARR kinda sucks with that xd

[glacial sail]

When does heavensword start?

[scenic cargo]

50

[glacial sail]

holy fuck

[livid vortex]

way back when u got lvl 50.

[scenic cargo]

After the post-arr quests

[agile laurel]

That aside, FFXIV is a very dialogue heavy game

If you don’t like reading dialogue, you may be in for a detractive experience

[slate arrow]

The story only gets more final fantasy as it goes

Gameplay and cutscenes, gameplay and cutscenes

[peak crag]

one last question, I know for the ARR relics you need to have a weapon equipped, is it the same for HW FATEs for bozja

[glacial sail]

Yeah probs done with this i cant last that long lol

[agile laurel]

Nope

[peak crag]

thank fuk

[desert ravine]

best place to farm deep essences? bozja or zadnor? i just hit 25

[agile laurel]

Fair enough. It’s not for everyone

[slate arrow]

If you don't like final fantasy, there's still all the optional content but for the most part- yeah if you can't get past the cutscenes wall it'll suck since the ARR cutscene wall sets up literally everything

Even Endwalker

[ripe hound]

Also have to admit, FF14’s English is not really beginner friendly

[agile laurel]

ARR isn’t jokingly referred to as The Filter without reason

[glacial sail]

Im fine with the cutscenes its these run back and forth and have boring chatter with random npcs

[ripe hound]

As someone who’s English is second language, I basically play the story with dictionary and quizlet lol

[livid vortex]

when u get through ARR the rest of the game is easy hahahahaah

[ripe hound]

That gets better later on

[glacial sail]

legit been just teleporting back and forth for 3 hours

[sharp dust]

can anyone invite me and my friends, we're playing free trial and cant make a party

[paper trout]

It's very olde English

[ripe hound]

The NPCs gets less and less random

And you run back and forth without story progress less

[livid vortex]

ARR has a bagfull with filers. feels like naruto or one piece xD

[ripe hound]

Yeah, there are much less fillers later on

[slate arrow]

I'm going to reiterate, ARR was made on an accelerated timescale. They only recently had the time to go back to trim everything down.

[valid musk]

how bad can you look

[agile laurel]

ARR is called the Filter because it is comparatively the worst content the game has to offer as a whole

[glacial sail]

I mean i enjoy the earlier parts where there was way more combat and meaningful story but this slog from like story quest level 19 has been horrendous

[slate arrow]

At the time, it was still better than 1.0

[ripe hound]

Also just to note, I think 1.0 had no filler

As in, there was no filler

[livid vortex]

U can buy the story shortcut hahaahha

[agile laurel]

ah

would that be the bit where you have to find all the food around costa del sol, by chance

[ripe hound]

There are like, 5 Quests in total from lv 1 to 40 or something

[livid vortex]

to skip ARR

[slate arrow]

1.0 had a story?

[glacial sail]

Nah ive just been going around this little fairy village and been teleporting between the 3 main areas

[slate arrow]

It had an event yes

[ripe hound]

I think at least 1.x did

[slate arrow]

Anyways details I'm off topic

[ripe hound]

No idea, I started in 2.2 or 2.3 or something

[agile laurel]

hm, a couple of the ARR arcs are regarded as comically bad, not without a punchline but not particularly fun

[paper trout]

I mean, if it only gets better from here then that's a pretty good sign

[boreal junco]

I have a bunch of orchastrion rolls where do I use them at? If I don't have a house I can't use them right?

[slate arrow]

Right click > use

You can play them in your inn room

[agile laurel]

Yes, anyone would agree ARR is the bottom of the content

Even if you don’t think it was particularly bad

[paper trout]

I've been enjoying ARR content so good sign

[slate arrow]

If you came from WoW and where you enjoyed the lore and story content, it can be one hell of a ride, based on what I've heard.

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the difference between these two ?

[glacial sail]

I mean i would usually be fine slogging through stuff but im at story level 24 after about 10 hours of playtime so slogging through 10 or more hours like these last few levels would be insane

[agile laurel]

Hell, I enjoyed ARR thoroughly coming from wow

[hearty apex]

Hi all, just joined this Discord a minute ago! I've only finished ARR and barely begun HW. I think ARR was fine, and I wish I hadn't seen people everywhere saying its bad, trying to put a downer on it. It was FAR from perfect, but the only thing that really peeved me was the neverending busywork quests between the initial ARR ending, and the proper ARR ending.

[paper trout]

As someone who also came from WoW it feels like classic

[agile laurel]

Best anyone can say is yes, by usual agreement there is a light at the end of the tunnel but YMMV

[agile laurel]

Internet lacks the realisation that ‘the relative worst’ does not necessarily mean ‘bad’

[spark silo]

ill be honest i skip pretty much everything, except a few cutscenes where i feel like something cool will happen / something cool (like a dragon) shows up in the first few seconds

i didnt mind playing through ARR, but like, i honestly don't even know what's the story behind it

the only thing i've found really annoying so far was the post ARR/pre-heavensward stuff where it's just a toooooon of "go talk to X, now go talk to Y" exposition quests

[mortal root]

hi i keep getting this pls help ;-;

[autumn jetty]

that's... a lot of errors

I think there's a repair option in the launcher?

[hearty apex]

Absolutely nothing wrong with playing it how you want to 🙂 I think both story followers and the rest will agree the bits between ARR and HW really drag on a bit

[gloomy mortar]

What real life food item is the Costa de Hielo dessert based upon? 😮

From Moonfaire event

[shut harbor]

So as a tank should I not use my dmg combos?

[patent citrus]

On boss

[shut harbor]

So I shouldn’t spam unleash on boss?

[stray horizon]

You could try looking at this https://deciphertools.com/blog/ffxiv-directx-crash/

[patent citrus]

Not sure myself, maybe will be included in the cookbook? But it doesn't have to have real life example

Like there are carbuncle candy around and I never seen them irl

[patent citrus]

Someone already told you to spam it on trash pull

[slow isle]

I’m trying to write macros for a venue, using /em but ran out of space. Is there a way to continue the sentence?

[patent citrus]

Few bosses however has 2-3 targets

[mortal root]

ty

[shut harbor]

Someone in my party told me to make the boss face behind dps and healers

[proud seal]

where do you set up markers for dungeons?

[patent citrus]

You can use unleash combo on that as well

[shut harbor]

Ok

[proud seal]

like "1", "2", "3"

[patent citrus]

No need markers for dungeon

[patent citrus]

Yeah.

[proud seal]

where are they though?

and its for deep dungeon

[patent citrus]

Oh, should be shift m ?

Or on console, on party tab

[proud seal]

ooo i see

ty

[patent citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnOnwZEahE

Check out that, for future reference

[river vortex]

is it worth it to level gathering alongside crafting? Because getting ingredients for all 8 crafters sounds like such a chore

[patent citrus]

And would recommend weskalber guide 30-80 drk

[boreal storm]

The one in the recipe

Right click and look in crafting/gathering log

[onyx zinc]

hmm I see there's ilvl240 and 270 in idyllshire and they're the same price, why would you choose 240? it's just lower stats isn't it

[boreal storm]

Glam

[onyx zinc]

[rustic badge]

[peak crag]

[warm yacht]

What's the song that plays in Lyhe Giah treasure hunts?

[rustic badge]

[graceful sail]

Do you need to unlock chocobo barding or can u apply it as soon as you get the armor?

[outer plank]

ffxiv best essences zadnor as a range dps?

[patent citrus]

https://youtu.be/1MpsoM01FzU this?

[raven sage]

You just need to have done "My Feisty Chocobo" since you need access to the companion menu

[faint flare]

Skirmisher for the field, pure essence for DR

[outer plank]

where can i get skirmisher? which fragment?

[patent citrus]

Awakening cmiiw

From the organic mob in bozjan

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/742031155309707305/769070166537273364/Screen_Shot_2020-10-23_at_12.30.01_PM.png

Zone 2 non 4th legion mobs in bojza

[pale nimbus]

For the hardest content, is the difficulty strictly through mechanics or are there also DPS checks?

[faint flare]

Both

[pale nimbus]

How common is the latter?

[faint flare]

Usually happens in TEA as uwu and Ucob checks became easier with the new jobs

[pale nimbus]

What is TEA?

[gloomy mortar]

Brewed

[faint flare]

Alexander ultimate

[pale nimbus]

Ok, thanks.

[gloomy mortar]

No

Np

[leaden ginkgo]

heya guys i had a question, I'm new and around level 37 but I was wanting to know what tank class is usually seen more at raids and I was wanting to do solo content as well.

[faint flare]

All of them

For soloing old content, paladin and warrior are kings

[warm yacht]

yeah

[wet grotto]

How do paladin relics work? Specifically HW relic. Do you need to farm the luminous crystals for both the sword and the shield?

[gloomy mortar]

Once you get a level 9 racing Chocobo, what do you do with it? I have 8 of 10 4 stars, others are 3stars.

[shut harbor]

Beat way of obtaining serpent seals?

[gloomy mortar]

GC item turn ins

Or leve quests

[shut harbor]

What’s gc

[boreal storm]

The thing that you give seals to

Is this for your chocobo

Because if so just do the next msq

[shut harbor]

No

This is for a dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

what about soloing old and new content?

[shut harbor]

In need Serpent seals to get a certain rank to unlock the dungeon

[boreal storm]

There’s no GC related dungeons

[faint flare]

All jobs can solo content youre meant to solo. Paladin and warrior are kings for soloing old content

[shut harbor]

Vorsaile heuloix has a quest and if you complete it I think you unlock a level 44 dungeon

[faint flare]

Dzaemal doesn't require seals

Nor does aurum vale

Or cutters cry

[boreal storm]

That’s unrelated to your GC progress

[faint flare]

Dzaemal is in coerthas not vesper bay

[shut harbor]

Ok so I could do the dungeon with no requirements?

[boreal storm]

You have to be lvl 44

[shut harbor]

Ok

[ruby turtle]

when you use the duty finder, is it searching for people just on your server or literally everyone? Been looking for a dungeon group to progress msq for 40 mins and cant find one XD

[boreal storm]

Wait you do have to be a 1st sergeant apparently for Dhazmel

[faint flare]

Anyone in the data centre

[shut harbor]

Yeah I can’t get in

[shut harbor]

How do I get there quick

[grave wind]

Wait... Did my level just go down after submitting an item to GC?

Is that normal

[faint flare]

No

You don't delevel in the game

Outside of eureka but that's a completely separate thing

[shut harbor]

I heard eureka is tough

[grave wind]

What does it mean when the exp tab on the GC delivery is orange/red?

[boreal storm]

What’s your current rank and do you have enough seals to promote

[shut harbor]

I’m serpent first class

[umbral dune]

Random bonus x2 exp seal

[delicate kernel]

sometimes I have a long queue of skills and I want to cancel to start a new rotation how can i do that?

[umbral dune]

Move

[delicate kernel]

thx

[shut harbor]

If I redo duty roulette do I get the reward still ?

[mighty spire]

Hey guys is there any guides for Chocobo Raising(Racing/Breeding) ive recently found my love for it

[boreal storm]

Do your GC hunting log

[faint flare]

No

Roulettes are once a day

[shut harbor]

Ok

[ocean egret]

Do exp bonus items work on quest exp also? Or just regular killing and crafting?

[toxic spire]

anyone trynna sell me a mf m plot

[heavy wadi]

Do we know for sure that the 5.1-5.5 soundtrack is coming out soonish?

[lilac flume]

my group is doing first coil turn 5 and we're having trouble with dives. how exactly do they work? we're trying the method where we go on the "hill" in the hand and moving out but the way the boss spawns and moves seems to be different each time. does the dive hit everyone in a straight line or how should we be handling this?

[uneven tendon]

Everyone stands at the bottom, everyone moves up when marker appears, everyone returns to bottom once resolved, repeat.

[near wedge]

What does THMR stand for?

[lilac flume]

thats what we've been doing but when we do everyone still gets hit by the dive

[raw solstice]

tank -> healer -> melee -> ranged, usually refers to resolving a mechanic in order of those roles

[near wedge]

oh

[raw solstice]

people are probably moving too early or not going down far enough into the pit

[meager herald]

almost all the recruiting fc are diablos or goblin how do you move servers?\

[raw solstice]

the divebomb snapshots position as soon as the marker appears

and since there's the change in elevation, if the divebomb is baited at the bottom and people are at the top when the divebomb happens, nobody will get hit

[lilac flume]

so the marker appearing = snapshop has happened?

[raw solstice]

yes, as soon as the marker appears everyone should immediately run to the top

and after the divebomb happens go down to the bottom again, near the wall

rinse and repeat

[uneven tendon]

This ^

[lilac flume]

ok we'll try that

i can try recording us too if we still cant get it

[raw solstice]

if you have people that feel more confident vs others that don't, you can always send other unsure people over to another pit

the typical spot is directly E, there's another one that's more NE, and another one far W

[uneven tendon]

If you get hit on first one then someone was too high when it snapshot. If it’s dives after the first then someone is likely too slow getting back down

[obsidian patio]

Doesn’t work on quests, just monster killing/crafting/gathering

[umbral dune]

there are 2 officer for GC, one is turning in provision and supply(exchange item for seal), the right one is vendor, choose the lowest tier, material tab, venture at the first line for 200 seal each

[uneven tendon]

You need to have access to private/corporal items and it’s under the Materiel tab for 200gc each

Ah beaten to it

[graceful sail]

Whats the benefit of using flood of darkness over edge of darkness for dark knight?

[uneven tendon]

Flood is AOE, edge is single target

[graceful sail]

I didn't read properly lmao

[uneven tendon]

So flood does more when there are 2+ enemies as it’s 250 per mob, edge is 350, so if you’re hitting one enemy you use that instead
