[river vortex]

Especially on summoner/scholar who has pets

[obsidian patio]

2.5 crossbars is the most you need

[faint flare]

It helps

Especially when adding in misc stuff like mounts, lb etc

[obsidian patio]

some jobs work fine with just two

[faint flare]

And it's just more options

To have stuff "closer"

[cyan loom]

wrt rp is there a /me or /e equivalent

[faint flare]

/em

Is the emote command for custom emotes

[river vortex]

i cant see each bar though right? Gotta memorize?

[faint flare]

You can show the wxhb all the time

And you can turn on regular hotbars and drag skills onto those normally for Cooldown tracking

[river vortex]

hmm

how do i show the wxhb?

[faint flare]

Character configuration > hotbar > cross

[obsidian patio]

setting at the bottom of the cross tab of the hotbar settings

[river vortex]

ah its the other tab

[faint flare]

The cross and custom tab basically deals with all the cross hotbar settings

[obsidian patio]

you can also change it to if you want to automatically go back to the main crossbar after using an action

Personally, I don't recommend putting main rotation buttons on the WXHB since I find myself clipping with them from time to time

so mostly stuff i don't press often goes there

Like Arm's Length/Surecast

or most role actions

[faint flare]

Yeah I throw role actins on there and keep the wxhb hidden until it's active

And stuff like stances or pet summons

[obsidian patio]

I also use the empty slots as "reminder buttons" for keys i should be pressing often, but usually forget.

An extreme example with my WAR bar, with me forgetting Upheaval.

[faint flare]

[river vortex]

my main problem that i dont want one of the three bars to stay out of sight...

as in positions

hmmm

[obsidian patio]

I keep track of my Hold Crossbar, which mostly has cooldowns, using the PC/Keyboard hotbar below my crossbar

can be a bit of an information overload, but my ADHD brain handles it pretty well

[clear bronze]

wheres the mail guy in limsa

[little swift]

Upper decks

Aftcastle is one of the closer aethernet shards

[clear bronze]

is it a moogle

[little swift]

Yes

Map icon is an envelope

[clear bronze]

whats the difference betwen shout and yell

[brittle umbra]

how long does a night last?

[obsidian patio]

/shout = zone-wide
/yell = bigger radius than say

[obsidian patio]

I think from 8pm to 6am eorzean time.

might be 6pm

[clear bronze]

is there a discord channel for crafting requests

[obsidian patio]

just the datacenter channels, really.

probably better suited to PF or asking in a populated city

[sonic locust]

*** ive discovered that this is tied directly to the "Use low-detail models on distant objects. (LOD)" setting in System > Graphics > General

[river oasis]

is potd still the best way to level dps fom 51-60?

[sonic locust]

is this a known fixable graphics issue

seen it multiple times now

[warped nest]

@river oasis yes, but only if your dungeon queue time is longer than 15 minutes compared to Potd queue time

Give or take

[river oasis]

atm sohm al is 6 min

what about 61-70 levelling dungeon queue?

[warped nest]

Same deal, but instead of potd, it is Hoh

[river oasis]

i ahvent done hoh at all

im guessing floor 51-60?

[clear bronze]

is it worth doing hq items?

[warped nest]

21-30

[clear bronze]

for the exarchi set

[jade quartz]

Only HQ is viable

NQ crafted gear is garbage

[warped nest]

NQ gear has neutered stat

HQ gear has the correct stat matching their ilvl

[clear bronze]

do i have to buy all HQ mats for that?

[warped nest]

No, you should be able to craft HQ materials

[jade quartz]

No you just have to have sufficient stats and an effective rotation

[warped nest]

And proceed to use those to make HQ gears

[jade quartz]

Craft hq intermediate materials

[clear bronze]

aaah ok

[grim bridge]

I just need some clarification. DRKs Blood Weapon only grants mana and blood on landing "Weapon Skills", so does that mean my oGCDs like Plunge and Carve and spit won't do anything? Like only my 1-2-3 will actually work here?

[umbral dune]

for BLM lvl 60 single target rotation, i only refresh T3 in umbral phase, not in astral phase right?

[warped nest]

OGCD are Ability

Not only your 123 are weaponskill

!action bloodspiller

[zinc orbit]

**Bloodspiller** : lvl 62 DRK (50 Blood Gauge) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 600.
Blood Gauge Cost: 50

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

Ahh, it is not written here

[runic cairn]

anything that's on the gcd and not a spell is a weaponskill

idk there might be exceptions but that's the general rule

[warped nest]

If your thundercloud proc is going to expire, you do it during Astral Fire too

[grim bridge]

Ok. I wasn't really sure what the distinction between abilities and weapon skills are besides maybe abilities being oGCD.

Thank you for the clarification

[warped nest]

All ability are oGCD

Maybe one or two will trigger your GCD cooldown

[crimson harbor]

Whats the max timer on a plot?

[narrow jay]

unknown

[crimson harbor]

So it could be forever?

[narrow jay]

That is not what that means, no.

[crimson harbor]

Does it usually go over 24 hours?

[obsidian patio]

longest observed was around 2 days or so

at least from personal experience

[crimson harbor]

Is there an average?

[narrow jay]

All information on the timer for plot auction are kept server side to prevent people from gaming/botting the system. The most common are from 6 to 12 hours but there have been reports of multiple days, yes.

[obsidian patio]

24 hours is probably the sweet spot

[narrow jay]

Whether there is an upper bound is unknown.

[lunar schooner]

When i first got my retainer i made it the class i was playing at the time, Lancer. I have since dropped the job and gotten no more gear for it. I can not get my retainer past lvl 30 since i do not have enough gear to get it a high enough ilvl. I want to switch it to main class but can't really find how on the internet.

[obsidian patio]

interact with the retainer and one of the options on their menu should be to reset them back to level 1

which lets you change their class

[lean echo]

What do people think about the companion app? is it useful?

[obsidian patio]

It's meh if you don't pay for premium

[jade quartz]

It’s not useful at all

[lunar schooner]

Is that the only way I can do it?

[jade quartz]

And premium is not worth it

[obsidian patio]

and even then i don't recommend premium unless you're serious about maintaining market items while offline

[lunar schooner]

I like it to change the prices of stuff I have on the market board. Even tho u can only change the price of one item a day its still something

[lean echo]

Apparently to sell on the market board you need "kupo nuts" or something lol

[jade quartz]

You can register it to your account to get a free extra halfprice teleport destination and a smartphone emote

[obsidian patio]

if you mean you stopped playing Lancer/Dragoon entirely, that's the only option

[jade quartz]

Yeah you need premium currency to make more than one marketboard listing change per day

[obsidian patio]

since they can't outlevel you for that class

[lean echo]

oh weird haha

I do like the little loading cactuar tho he's cute

[obsidian patio]

besides the market stuff, my main gripe is that you can't access in-game linkshells/free company chat with it

you only have chat boards made on the app itself

and I can't remember if there's notification options for it

at least I don't remember there being any at launch

[native vigil]

Wanting to server transfer. I have to leave GC in order for it to go through. Will I able to start up where I left off? Or start over from scratch

[obsidian patio]

You don't need to leave your grand company

It probably meant Free Company.

AKA the player guilds

[river vortex]

when does the leveling roulette reset?

[graceful sail]

Whats the name of the orchestral roll that many players use in their homes? I think it says smthn like 'lariha'

[obsidian patio]

La-Hee?

[graceful sail]

Is that a name of a song?

[dapper oyster]

why i have no delivery mission with star today?

[obsidian patio]

stars are RNG

[obsidian patio]

no, I'm trying to figure out what lyric you might be thinking of.

Is it the song Civilizations?

[graceful sail]

Nah not that

It was also played in a club on asmons channel a while back

[obsidian patio]

If you have a vod link and general timestamp I can look at it.

but a single lyric that may be misheard isn't much to go off of. :\

[boreal storm]

Also many songs don’t have words

[lean echo]

is the free company browser that good on phones does anyone know

I might just get in bed and look for a guild while I'm waiting for the download haha

[shrewd sleet]

Hi everyone! I've been playing on the free trial, I was wondering if it is worth it to try to get everything out of the trial before getting the full game?

[dapper oyster]

my luck is that bad it seems

[subtle bear]

if you buy the complete edition before finishing the trial then you're basically wasting sub time

[shell echo]

@obsidian patio I noticed my chocobo stats are getting worse. Should I start over again from G4 or just breed G5 again...or just continue with the G6?

[shrewd sleet]

finishing the trial as in completing up to HW?

[lean echo]

it's worth it because you're paying nothing for a shit load of content, but you're locked out of a lot of social features and the marketboard

I've played about 60 hours of the trial and I've just bought the game after finishing ARR because I wanna start adding people as friends, join a guild, etc.

[subtle bear]

oh honestly didn't know you couldn't do those things in trial

[lean echo]

yeah it's to prevent spammers I think

[graceful sail]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1125135729?t=03h11m51s

[lean echo]

you also can't /tell people who have added you as a friend which sucks, because you just can't communicate with them after adding lol

unless you randomly find them in the world or smth

[obsidian patio]

I recommend waiting until G7 to start min-maxing stars

[shell echo]

@obsidian patioGotcha, glad I didn't waste 80 ranks.

[cyan loom]

how do max out the numbber of characters on screen?

[obsidian patio]

That's the Pulse Remix of Titania's Theme "What Angel Wakes Me"

[graceful sail]

Thanks!

[subtle bear]

what mmo mouse would y'all recommend?

[shrewd sleet]

I see, I have about 1 week of playtime. Finished ARR.

[shell echo]

@obsidian patioDo I inbreed my chocobo G7+ until they get perfect stats, or do I try to purchase a perfect covering?

[obsidian patio]

Can't tell you a definite answer, I mostly gave up on chocobo racing at G4

there's a guide to chocobo racing in the resource channel

[shell echo]

@obsidian patioI see. Thanks for the help

[obsidian patio]

but purchasing a perfect covering will probably bankrupt you in MGP

[sage mist]

Is there a way I can set a macro to turn on and off my party animations?

[obsidian patio]

#general-discussion message

[sage mist]

THANKS!

[crimson harbor]

If someone is using a macro afk, and I initiate a trade and I complete it, is that bannable?

[agile laurel]

there's no such thing as macros that function while afk

they'd be botting, and thus technically it'd be a little hard for them to report you

for uh, interfering with their botting

[crimson harbor]

ok well, I've tried to trade with a guy whose trying to buy a plot, and I put in like 1 egg and he puts like high quality fish in there

[agile laurel]

huh

well that is pretty special

but yes, if you're sure he's using a 'macro' then he's using an autoclicker

more than likely

he might be memeing with you on the trade but throw in a report if you suspect them of using an autoclicker I suppose

[crimson harbor]

but woould I get in trouble for initiating and completing a trade?

[obsidian patio]

not at all

[twilit arch]

if you did it once, no

[proven mortar]

is there anywhere i can search for an experienced Navel Extreme group?

[obsidian patio]

party finder or the datacenter channels

[twilit arch]

but if you do it multiple times in a row, you can tecnically yes get in trouble if they reported you

cos that would be similar situation to constantly opening trade with someone trying to teleport

[proven mortar]

sorry new to the discord server is there a specific group finder here?

[twilit arch]

and disrupting that

[obsidian patio]

datacenter channel is the closest thing to a group finder for the discord

[proven mortar]

ok thank you

[obsidian patio]

we don't really have one since party finder fits the purpose of that

[clear bronze]

wat do people do with old gear
besides turn it in at the GC

[twilit arch]

desynth

[clear bronze]

where do u go to do that

[twilit arch]

need appropriate crafter at lv30

the unlock quest is in the uldah market area

if you can't desynth/turn in for gc seals, either toss or vendor

[clear bronze]

is there anythingg good to get with ur seals

thats like worth anything

[thorn thicket]

There's no kupo bot command for crossbreeds for gardening, right?

[umbral dune]

venture, codial, glamour prism

[twilit arch]

can also look at the prices of the crafting materials

and see if any of them are selling decently

i.e coke is usually an alright seller

[clear bronze]

wats the venture for i forget

[twilit arch]

sending retainers out on missions

[obsidian patio]

there's a site in #resources dedicated to gardening

http://www.ffxivgardening.com/

[limpid matrix]

sorry i have question
is there any damage calculator while doing dungeon?

[thorn thicket]

just didn't know if there was a command that linked to that like there is for the logs

[gritty lynx]

Do people normally rush towards the boss while one person is still watching cutscenes? Or is it considered BM?

[twilit arch]

usually people will wait

[umbral dune]

bad move for sure

[twilit arch]

toto-rak is one dungeon where its very easy to trigger the final boss while a new player is in the cutscene

[obsidian patio]

most dungeon boss cutscenes are generally pretty short

toto-rak also has an unusually long cutscene compared to the average

most final boss cutscenes are like 20 seconds at most with the boss walking into focus and flexing

[reef plank]

I just had this happened to me as a tank, not 15 sec on cutscene and they started the fight, only knew from the chat "Help tank"

[cursive ridge]

what's the difference between savage and extreme?

[runic cairn]

extreme is the hard mode of trials, savage is the hard mode of raids

savage is far more punishing

[cursive ridge]

so savage is like wow's mythic and extreme is wow's heroic?

[twilit arch]

ehh

sort of

[umbral dune]

then they are dumb to not wait for tank

[runic cairn]

kind of but not really...?

[obsidian patio]

savage difficulty can vary a lot within a tier

[twilit arch]

its a bit hard to do a 1:1

as the difficulty within savage can vary fight to fight

[obsidian patio]

the first two fights of a savage tier can be considered Extreme difficulty or so

depending on exact mechanics

[gritty lynx]

I think the dungeon in the floating continent too. The randoms just rushed to the boss and after the cutscene, it only had half health left.

[cursive ridge]

that's usually the case with wow too, the first few bosses in a tier are easier

[obsidian patio]

Usually people point to ultimate raids as the best equivalent to WoW Mythic raids

for the last few bosses of a tier

[cursive ridge]

isn't ultimate the same savage bosses, but in a boss rush mode?

[twilit arch]

no

[obsidian patio]

ultimates are mashups of older fights

[night wraith]

Guys i need your help, so i'm trying to transfer from primal to aether NA, but the character name which i was using on primal has been taken in aether, if i'm not wrong you'll get a free name change while transfering right? then why is the "The selected character has a name change pending and/or has purchased optional items that have yet to be claimed." keep poping up and won't let me have an option to change the name? i tried to transfer with other character and it worked fine tho.

[obsidian patio]

check your mailbox and empty any mail

[night wraith]

i did

[twilit arch]

While the fights are a mash up from older fights, its not strictly the same

it has its own dance you have to learn

[cursive ridge]

so ultimates are 'savaging' of old bosses, plus making them a boss rush?

[obsidian patio]

do you have a fantasia that you consumed, but didn't use up?

yep

[night wraith]

nope

i'm pretty sure that i'm stuck at the name change

[obsidian patio]

The first Ultimate Raid, for example, are the last bosses of each raid tier of the first raid of the game

being the binding coil of bahamut

[cursive ridge]

isn't crystal tower the first raid of the game

[twilit arch]

no

crystal tower is the alliance raid series

binding coil of bahamut is the 8 man raid series

8 mans are the ones that are the end-game raids

alliance raids are like lfr

[leaden ginkgo]

http://puu.sh/I5Vnl/0654fe5205.jpg does this mean the buff is on twice? so the 1 buff is 10% now we have a 20% buff?

[twilit arch]

tho normal mode for the 8mans are also basically lfr

[twilit arch]

no, it means you have 2 uses of that buff

so you activate one, you have that for 24hrs or whatever the duration of fc buffs is

and then once that wears off, you can activate the 2nd one

[floral island]

i.. am not positive whats going on

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

Could any experienced Bards possibly post a screenshot of their UI layout? I'm trying to get mine a bit better, but I feel like it's still a bit too cluttered

[woeful breach]

what does a party invite look like

does it pop up somewwhere

[obsidian patio]

right in the center of your screen and the bottom right

[warped nest]

@woeful breach should be the same spot as your loot UI

Horizontal pill shape

[woeful breach]

got it ok

[devout hollow]

Do I have to wait to exit the dungeon to get the loots?

[warped nest]

You acquire them once their ownership are resolved

[devout hollow]

Despite of being in or out of the dungeon?

[warped nest]

So if all party members quickly need/greed/pass them, you will get loot right away

If you exit the dungeon before it is resolved, it is considered that you pass on the loot

[devout hollow]

Fuck haha

Gotcha, thanks. I rolled need and then exited.

So that doest matter?

[warped nest]

It is now a Pass

[umbral dune]

you leave instantly when you dont care about loot

[devout hollow]

Mmkay Ill keep that in mind thanks guys.

[slate arrow]

Once you leave the instance the instance instantly forgets everything about you to keep server load down

[devout hollow]

Yeah makes sense.

[warped nest]

In bigger PvE contents like alliance raid

24 players loot together

[spring elk]

How long does it take to farm the event fates to get all event items? Could I do it in a day?

[warped nest]

Which can leads to a bit of frustration if one or two players forgot to loot

[solid basin]

I mean, the only real reward for the event is the mount no? If you wanna buy 1 of everything, around 2-3 clears of the fate is enough

[umbral dune]

guys, ninja can walk on water in city state?

[warped nest]

@umbral dune no

[slate arrow]

You only need to do the fate once to get one of every single item

[floral island]

would someone be willing to tell me whats going on?

[slate arrow]

no

If it's not /nn it's /say by default

[cursive ridge]

Someone just bought a plot that my FC was camping at, and the guy that bought it isn't even online? How can this happen?

Not really.

Was it turned in to an fc plot or a personal house?

It’s not too hard nowadays. You can skip most of the stuff in Neo. Regular ex death can be annoying with the black hole and white hole mechanics.

[hard sonnet]

Hello any bard mains here and would like to ask for some tips? Thank you

[fiery pagoda]

wait what

u r looking for bard mains to ask you for some tips?

[buoyant sorrel]

I'm trying to set up something with macros, is it possible to scroll..? With something like this idk how to phrase the question exactly

[hard sonnet]

Yes

[small bison]

I want to try out Summoner though I'm unsure if I want to go through the levels to get there so I'm thinking of the boost thing. Would this be a bad idea?

[agile laurel]

just go ahead and ask

[fiery pagoda]

@agile laurel he wants bard mains to ask HIM

or her, idk

[hard sonnet]

Oh wait no i meant i wanted to ask bard mains for tips on dungeons and supporting teammates?

[agile laurel]

Summoner is by any definition one of the more complex jobs - in addition to getting scholar too. Go ahead if you want, but be prepared to do some research before trying out any content

[fiery pagoda]

oh lol

[agile laurel]

weskalber makes guides for leveling on YT - good to check

[small bison]

Alright, would you have any tips then for when I start?

[agile laurel]

hang on.

[hard sonnet]

will check that out thank you

[agile laurel]

Read this til it doesn't seem like gibberish https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/smn/guide/rotation/#dot-rules-of-thumb

And as with any boosted job, above anything else read your tooltips

[last sapphire]

Summoner is significantly better to learn as you level. There is a good chance you'll fin yourself overwhelmed at 70

You'll be frequently double weaving

[small bison]

I see

[solemn jewel]

||u can also easily level by jsut switching to Scholar to do dungeons ||

[buoyant sorrel]

Is there a way to cycle through Hotbars using macros?

[agile laurel]

summoner has the highest action count of any of the casters, and is generally memed to playing piano

[last sapphire]

However if you level it the normal way you'll level 2 jobs at once

[agile laurel]

Coming in with a full kit will be a challenge

[last sapphire]

Scholar isn't so bad but it's also about weaving.

[small bison]

I see

The other classes I've played so far are Gunbreaker, Ninja, Black Mage, Astrologian, and Dancer

[solemn jewel]

Short question, is RDM counted as ranged or melee. For the astro card buffs

[nocturne wyvern]

Ranged.

[agile laurel]

Closer to ninja in terms of workload, if you understand how to play that at 80

[last sapphire]

The enchanted melee combo deals magic damage

[small bison]

I understand how to play Ninja at 60, though I'm a quick learner

[buoyant sorrel]

Ol

[last sapphire]

Summoner imo is more workload than ninna

As your weaving never stops

[solemn jewel]

oh rip my RDM in bardams mettle, i gave my ranged to the bard

[nocturne wyvern]

Gunbreaker is very similar to nin as it’s also built around the 1 minute burst window.

[agile laurel]

Right, bit different. Short answer, you do you but do your research if you do

Akhmorning will give you all the info you need to be above average if you understand it all

[small bison]

Alright

[cursive ridge]

generally, in this game, if i have a damaging skill, it's a dps increase to use it, right? like using dots on fat targets

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s all situational.

[cursive ridge]

provided the target will live the full duration of course

[last sapphire]

Depends on the job, some jobs have abilities that you want to line up with others

[cursive ridge]

i just started thaumaturge and the lightning seems very very pointless

[agile laurel]

Short answer yes, long answer - some dots should be saved for buffs

Thunder should ideally be 100% uptime

[nocturne wyvern]

Lightning is a dps gain when cast during ice and a loss during fire.

[agile laurel]

There's no reason to not

[last sapphire]

You wanna put your dot on targets that'll live for most of the duration

However later on it gets a lot stronger.

[nocturne wyvern]

Thundercloud procs are not a dps loss but hard casting it is something you never do during fire.

[last sapphire]

Generally you go ice > thunder > fire

[cursive ridge]

so okay, another basic question

if a dot says 'potency 40' is it the equivalent of a potency 40 direct damage spell but stretched over the duration

or does it do 40 potency ticks

[twilit arch]

40 potency ticks

[last sapphire]

A tick is every 3 seconds

Roughly

[cursive ridge]

okay that makes it less stupid than i thought

[last sapphire]

So if you do potency x ticks you get total potency

[cursive ridge]

18s duration is 6 ticks right

because 0s has no tick

[last sapphire]

Yea

[umbral dune]

potency only meaningful when you use it within your class, kind of determine when to use single or AoE

[last sapphire]

Well thunder deals damage when it's applied

So add that on

[cursive ridge]

yeah but it's listed separately

[last sapphire]

It is yea, but it's still part of the ability

[umbral dune]

many dot only has over time only, some has base dam

[last sapphire]

I think bio for sch/smn doesn't deal damage when applird

Yea

Do levelling roulette once and then highest

[umbral dune]

all dot never deal dam instantly(except the base dam on hit if any have it), that why bard has to wait dot, SMN as well before using following skill scale upon dot applied

[cursive ridge]

should you clip your existing Thunder on the target if you get a thundercloud proc? haven't reached that passive yet, so just wondering

[last sapphire]

No

[twilit arch]

ideally no

but if the rpoc is about to expire or you need to move

[dusty jungle]

At really low ACN levels bio isn't really worth applying, cause you only get like 3 ruins out before something dies anyway

[twilit arch]

its fine to use

its acn for arcanist

[last sapphire]

You wanna let it run for as long as possible, you can clip it if you're going to lose your proc

[twilit arch]

arc 9is archer

[honest summit]

My samurai is level 58 and squishy is getting gear at ishgard the only way to solve that?

[dusty jungle]

For my next magic trick

Ill call gunbreaker GUN

and you cant stop me

[cursive ridge]

but what if it procs again while you're waiting

[tired mountain]

is it possible to delete text and audio of other languages to save space?

[last sapphire]

Means you can wait until the timer on the last one can tick down, but it's completely RNG whether you get a proc or not

So it is not really possible to play around

Sharpcast can allow you to force one later on

[agile laurel]

Thunder logic is don't waste time, but more importantly don't waste a proc

Overwriting with a proc you would otherwise lose is OK

XIVanalysis won't shoot you if your reset is under 8 seconds for that reason

[patent citrus]

yeah and Thunder is also one of your movement tools, just weave it every now and then

when you need to move

[gritty lynx]

Mostly, did you also upgrade your accessories?

[cursive ridge]

i'm just not really fond of the idea that thundercloud will proc again and i 'waste' the proc because i didn't use it immediately

[leaden ginkgo]

You could ask in #technology-discussion, but from personal experience, some games tend to get really weird about any files being missing.

[tired mountain]

thanks

[sand flame]

Dunno if this is the channel for this, but does anyone know when the next liveletter is and if they are going to discuss job changes for endwalker in it?

Not for the sake of kaiten.

nice

ok cool

[nocturne wyvern]

They’re meant to be fun with some entertaining bosses.

[twilit arch]

it states specifically on the tooltip if a skill is a weaponskill or not

[sand flame]

But will they do job change discussions in it?

[patent citrus]

story, vanities and it unlocks trials

[nocturne wyvern]

We don’t know.

[buoyant sorrel]

Is there a way to cycle through Hotbars using macros?

[twilit arch]

its possible considering iirc thats around when they want to do a media tour

[nocturne wyvern]

We also haven’t seen a job actions trailer yet.

[patent citrus]

is that the media tour for/

job action trailer

[sand flame]

I was going through translation and it seemed Yoshi said he’d discuss the reaper abilities around that time

[patent citrus]

or is it something else?

[twilit arch]

show casing up coming job changes and such

[sand flame]

Ahh so that would all be for the media tour

[nocturne wyvern]

For the past two expansions we got a trailer showing off the new moves.

I forget if HW had one.

[patent citrus]

ah nice, i'll be looking forward to it

[twilit arch]

hw had one

so did ARR

[nocturne wyvern]

They don’t tell us the names or what they do, they just show off animations and certain things you can intuit.

[patent citrus]

yeah I don't need names

[nocturne wyvern]

For example, if you watched the shb one it shows that requiescat turned spells instant cast.

[twilit arch]

we had names for them tho

[nocturne wyvern]

But that’s something you’d only notice if you play paladin.

[twilit arch]

because of the media tour

[patent citrus]

this one right?

[twilit arch]

thats also assuming this media tour has content creators

[patent citrus]

https://youtu.be/Op1DuaX7psc

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah that.

[patent citrus]

^ actually what help me decide which class I decided to play 😂

the cool animation

[nocturne wyvern]

I was watching that fanfest with my friends when they showed the trailer we were having a lot of fun

Gives me a warm feeling at the memory.

[umbral dune]

so they discuss the real change by early november?

[patent citrus]

still gives me nostalgia feeling when I re-watch it, I was still doing totorak MSQ when I saw this

[solemn jewel]

i want the 19th already so i can fantasia

[nocturne wyvern]

They don’t tell us the specific numbers most of the time.

We have to wait for the patch notes.

#general-discussion

[neat patrol]

I'm guessing Glamour is not a "slot conversion" but a "piece conversion", meaning you can only modify the look of a specific piece and the look is tied to that piece instead of the slot, correct or does it actually let you keep a full "outfit style" even when swapping between better or other gear?

[twilit arch]

yes you are glamouring onto the piece of gear

so if you want a specific look, make a glamour plate

to easily reapply it when you get new gear

[cursive ridge]

does using a glamour plate use a prism?

[twilit arch]

no

[cursive ridge]

does creating one use one?

[solemn jewel]

just putting items in the dresser costs

[hot eagle]

!faq glamourdresser

[neat patrol]

Oh, So you don't have to "repay/resupply" your resources every time you get new gear?

[twilit arch]

no a prism is only used when putting an item into the dresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[twilit arch]

you do not need to go to the room to apply

you just need to be in a city

or housing ward

[nocturne wyvern]

Ah my mistake.

[solemn jewel]

plus prisms are really cheap so u can just buy 100 and yeet ur items in

[nocturne wyvern]

Or just use gc seals and never spend gil on them at all.

[neat patrol]

But, Is the "Glamour dresser" limited in slots? Or is there enough slots where you should almost never have issues with keep or trash?

[cursive ridge]

okay, weird question, why does pressing the auto-run keybind when flying up sometime locks you into slow flying?

[solemn jewel]

u can have like 20 plates i think? and 400 item slots

[twilit arch]

yes, the dresser is limited to 400 slots

[nocturne wyvern]

I’ve had this issue to, I’m not sure. The ui does some weird things like that sometimes.

[umbral dune]

slow flying?

[cursive ridge]

flying at a speed that is not max

[twilit arch]

usually find that its if you take off at an awkard timing

[patent citrus]

I dont remember the solution for that I forgot

[twilit arch]

but i just stop mooving and then hit auto run to fix it

[clear bronze]

whats the most interactive tank out of the the bunch

[cursive ridge]

i know, just reapply it again and it fixes itself, but the cause of it mystifies me

[clear bronze]

is drk or gun

[twilit arch]

just one of those hinky things about the game

[solemn jewel]

i enjoy Gunbreaker the most if im honest

[clear bronze]

how do people level once theyve beat the main story?

[agile laurel]

for apm, gunbreaker. gnb feels more like 3 dps in a trenchcoat than a tank

!faq altlvlguide

lmao

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[patent citrus]

interactive would be PLD, they have both Magic and Physical phase

[agile laurel]

drk is, by any real definition, slow

[honest summit]

Should I main dragoon or samurai?

For dps

[last sapphire]

Gunbreaker sucks before 70 so don't judge it then

[agile laurel]

best answer anyone can give is 'idk, should you'

[clear bronze]

i wanna try a tank but i dont wanna be bored

[patent citrus]

slow just cause of animation

they have slightly slower APM than GNB

[last sapphire]

At 70 you get your coolest ability

[honest summit]

My answer is I dont know should I? Lol

[twilit arch]

you should play what you enjoy

[agile laurel]

there is no practical difference to consider - there's no pros or cons to weigh

[twilit arch]

do you like dragoon or samurai more?

[dusty jungle]

Every tank has like a base kit, and then flavour on top of it. GNB has more attack skills and PLD has more wacky support abilities etc.

[agile laurel]

pld leans 'support' while gnb leans 'protagonist'

[dusty jungle]

But if you cant make up your mind just run PotD on all of them

[patent citrus]

but only PLD and DRK have MP, so only those 2 tanks have interactive attack both magic and physical

both GNB and WAR only use gauge

[last sapphire]

You never really spend mana as paladin though

[patent citrus]

GNB gauge is the simplest

[twilit arch]

you do

pld has a magic phjase

[agile laurel]

um yes you do lol

!action holy spirit

[twilit arch]

that's still spending mana my good sir

[last sapphire]

Drk is all the time

Yea lol

[solemn jewel]

i chose my classes based on aesthetic and gnb just slaps hard so

[last sapphire]

I think I just confused cast time with mana lol

[jade quartz]

Yes which is every sixty seconds

[patent citrus]

It's MP 👀

[nocturne wyvern]

@honest summit I prefer samurai because it’s less positional dependent compared to drg.

[random girder]

no

it is more

positional dependent

[clear bronze]

do they all have a "mitigation" skill

[solemn jewel]

ye

[jade quartz]

It’s about the same

[random girder]

sam gains more potency by hitting positionals than drg does

[jade quartz]

They have many mitigation skills

[random girder]

regardless of the job,

[twilit arch]

you lose about 60pot on sam for every positional missed

[random girder]

just please hit them

[patent citrus]

i don't know what potency loss for DRG positional, but SAM has more potentional loss than NIN

[jade quartz]

They wouldn’t be tanks without that…

[solemn jewel]

Tanks are all about mitigation

[random girder]

sam has the highest loss

[jade quartz]

Per hit yes

[red cosmos]

how do i make a hotbar to use F1..F12 keys?

[random girder]

but they are also very easy to hit

so its like

[patent citrus]

if you don't hit positional, and you can see the when you lost it

[random girder]

pls

[nocturne wyvern]

Nin loses the least for positionals if you sit on the butt.

[patent citrus]

like you will receive less kinki

[dusty jungle]

drg has the hidden "fell off the stage positional" for a 100% difference in dmg :kekw:

[patent citrus]

while NIN, they don't tell you directly

[random girder]

haha never heard that one before

[clear bronze]

well i mean the mitation can just come from their stats/ggear stats

[random girder]

well its pretty obvious if you press the button while on the flank or back of the boss lol

[dusty jungle]

wow you shouldve just told me youre dead on the inside from the getgo

[clear bronze]

idk if theres like skills that immune damage and stuff like that

[nocturne wyvern]

Armor crush is a 6% dps loss if you ignore the flank bonus. But since you only need to use it every 30 seconds it’s not a big deal to hit it.

[random girder]

its still a dps loss

so please dont ignore positionals

[nocturne wyvern]

I meant as in you don’t have to constantly move every rotation like the other melee.

[random girder]

hallowed ground and superbolide (pld and gnb) are straight up immunes

[solemn jewel]

iirc most tank gear i just. more hp and the proper mitigation comes from their cooldowns

[random girder]

superbolide brings you down to 1hp on use but has a lower cooldown

[umbral dune]

Main menu>keybind>hotbar> set F1 to F12 for the hot bar of your choice

[random girder]

hallowed is just an immune

drk and war cant drop below 1hp, but drk needs to be healed to full or it will die after 10s

[clear bronze]

is hallowed ground that winged looking skill

[random girder]

every tank has some form of invul as an oh fuck button

[random girder]

no

dropping to 1hp isnt really a big deal because every healer has tools for that

question about what u guys were talking about earlier with SAM

[patent citrus]

and if you played ff8, they have a lot of skills from there

[nocturne wyvern]

It is. Also aesthetically I love that they use their weapon both one handed and two handed for their attacks.

[clear bronze]

i thought the positionals for sam just gave u more kenki gauge?

yes which translates into dmg

So I'm going to be stupid for a second here...
I used to play FF XIV, then stopped for a long while. Can't for the life of me recall what email I used back then, so had to make a new SE account because I considered getting back into it, even if I had to start all over. Sadly though, since I can't recall what email I used back when, even though I still have FF XIV downloaded and all on my computer, it seems I have to re-purchase the whole game. I'm not sure I feel like spending $100+(assuming I also pre-order the next)... But since I forgot my email, I guess I have to? Or is there some other way?

[clear bronze]

ah ok yeah i know that

[twilit arch]

losing kenki means less kenki spenders used

[patent citrus]

gnashing fang combo is like renzozuken

[random girder]

gives you 5 bonus kenki for hitting positional, which is 1/5 of a shinten

1/5 of 320 is 60

[clear bronze]

i thought u guys meant straight up less pot on the skills themselves

[random girder]

so youre losing 60 pot

yeah sam doesnt do that, only melee to not do that

well

monk has a crit on bootshine instead of potency

Well I'll still try. Thank ya'.

[last sapphire]

It's 20 levels below the expansion it is added in

Reaper and sage will start at 70

[solemn jewel]

not just 10? considering u start shadowbringers around lvl 70

[clear bronze]

what am i missing for this

i have amaurot twinning and akadaemia

[twilit arch]

you need anamesis anyder

[hot eagle]

more msq then

[twilit arch]

so more msq

[clear bronze]

okay

[scarlet hinge]

Is there any real use to ninjas mug ability when it comes to the increased drop chance

[twilit arch]

not really

[clear bronze]

wait wtf

im past the point of ggetting anmesis

how did i miss it lol

[last sapphire]

Just use it on cool down as it's free damage. Later on you get 40 ninki on hit.

[twilit arch]

oh if its not anamesis

then its heros

which is still...more msq

[clear bronze]

i dont have anmesis though

oh wait i do

im sorry

im blind

[tropic flame]

isnt there a side quest dungeon in crystarium?

[twilit arch]

stated they already have the 2 optioonals

[clear bronze]

do i need matoyas relict and paglthan

for the roulette

[twilit arch]

those are expert roulette

[clear bronze]

okay

nice im 1 quest away from heroes lol

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm looking at starting out, and two jobs interest me currently, bard and summoner. Which one is more "friendly" I guess?

Apologies if this isn't the right channel

[solemn jewel]

I'd say bard is easier

[clear bronze]

smn is hard lol

[solemn jewel]

But u can learn em all at some point, so no worries about missing out on a class

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh right, that was something I heard about

That does make it a lot easier

Thanks!

I was mostly just interested in summoner because pet classes are what I'm used to

[clear bronze]

are we on 5.5?

[solemn jewel]

i dont really like casters cus standing still evil but alas

[twilit arch]

5.58 to be specific

[cursive ridge]

are gold sellers spamming the market board zones in starting cities a recent thing? they're quite annoying

[solemn jewel]

theres also the pet healer, scholar

both start out as arcanist

[twilit arch]

not really recent, they've always been there

[leaden ginkgo]

Scholar seemed like I would really like it, I just have no friends to play with

So it seems like it would be tough

[clear bronze]

what level does astro start?

[twilit arch]

30

[leaden ginkgo]

Unless I can probably coordinate I suck with support

[umbral dune]

you dont need friend to understand a job

[solemn jewel]

oh u can heal alone no problem, even with borderline brainless ppl

[cursive ridge]

ffxiv is probably one of the easiest mmos to play solo. unless you want to do stuff like savage raids you can do pretty much everything with duty finder

[solemn jewel]

so dont worry about doing support with randos

[clear bronze]

it seems to me likek sch are pretty good at carrying dungeon runs lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Oo

Think I might start with the arcanist then and decide when I'm there

[clear bronze]

is astro harder than scholar?

[solemn jewel]

i personally find scholar harder

but mostly cus. i dont like shields sfldjk

[cursive ridge]

cool thing about summoner is that a big big chunk of your spells are instant cast, so you can move around a lot

[clear bronze]

for me its like

[sullen ginkgo]

what is this

[clear bronze]

remember what the skills do in the different pet forms

i still havent figured out seraph

[solemn jewel]

means dont attack

[leaden ginkgo]

i just like pet classes and summoner really fits the bill

If I go with it I hope it's not too difficult

[finite lynx]

can i ask when it's safe to watch the stormblood trailer? i just started the stormblood msqs - will the trailer play like with heavensward? or should i just youtube it

[twilit arch]

honestly, whenever

[solemn jewel]

should be fine!

[twilit arch]

stormblood cgi trailer has very little spoilers

you can watch it in-game at the main menu if you want

[finite lynx]

i see, thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyway, thank you guys again

[solemn jewel]

no worries!

[leaden ginkgo]

Hope I won't need to ask too much stuff

[solemn jewel]

oh dont worry about that, asking questions is good

[patent citrus]

It just looks hard cause you see that rotation loop

SMN is the most free-moving caster, no need to worry much about cancelling cast time

[cursive ridge]

granted i'm only summoner level 55 for now, but it seems pretty straight forward, you need to do stuff every 30 seconds but other than that it's just spam a single attack

[clear bronze]

wat im confused

did u mean to reply to someone else

[agile laurel]

summoner is semi-like ninja in that it's periods of high activity and periods of low activity

however smn's low activity periods are more interesting than nin

[cursive ridge]

yeah, you dump your mini-cooldowns every 30 seconds and then just spam one ability

i really like that the dots and the cooldowns have the same duration

lets you forget about tracking dots

'oh my egi assault is almost up, i need to refresh dots'

[deft verge]

anyone here?

i need help im stuck

[solemn jewel]

whats up

[clear bronze]

/unstuck?

[patent citrus]

[deft verge]

no

not stuck

as in

[patent citrus]

[deft verge]

lemme explain

so

onwards and upwards

its in

abalathias spine

i have no clue how to get there

all the gates are closed

[twilit arch]

[deft verge]

and i havent attuned any of the aetherytes

[deft verge]

[twilit arch]

[deft verge]

ohhh

[solemn jewel]

Ishgard airship landing

[deft verge]

one sec

[clear bronze]

speaking of

is there a good resource out there to catch up on the main points of the story

its been so long i need a refresher

[twilit arch]

there's a google doc pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers that recaps the story

[clear bronze]

thank you

[polar badge]

e4s straight line before magnitude in phase 1 is just a straight line to main aggro right?,

[clear bronze]

shit that recap document is massive LOL

[cursive ridge]

after i train in gold saucer chocobo breeding thingie, can i also change the color of my company chocobo?

[twilit arch]

well the recap is for everything up to shadowbringers

so ye

[clear bronze]

its really well done though

[astral edge]

how do you find out the best rotations for crafting when levelling? im constantly trying to hq what i craft, but it keeps taking alot of analysis and luck to get one hq item for a leve or class quest, and im not sure if its worth it

[clear bronze]

is teamcraft ggood for that?

[astral edge]

seems like itd need previous rotation knowledge for that to be a good tool for you

and i dont really have proper rotation knowledge, im literally just doing whatever logics the best for me and has worked the best in practice

i havent been able to find any sort of vague-rotations for crafting

[solemn quarry]

have you tried boosting with food + materia ?

i’m going to be honest though, i’m pretty bad at crafting and if i can’t get the hq turn in within a few tries i just buy it /:

but food and materia have helped me not buy gear

[astral edge]

im level 32, not sure how much materia will help

cause ill be switching gear alot still

[solemn quarry]

i gotcha !

[astral edge]

also i dont even know what gear to buy

[solemn quarry]

that’s gonna depend on your goals , market board access yeah

[astral edge]

yeah i have marketboard access

[umbral dune]

for crafter, just change gear every 10 level, your level provide no stat, only gear does

[solemn quarry]

^^ this is what i do

[neon fog]

is white scrip gear III level 80 BiS?

[nocturne wyvern]

Nope.

Aesthete set penta melded.

[neon fog]

how do I get thet

[solemn quarry]

ty, i was wondering if that was still true

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s crafted.

[neon fog]

I dont suppose I can craft with dwarven can I

[astral edge]

i dont know what gear to get tho

[nocturne wyvern]

Actually let me amend that, I don’t know the comparisons of finished crafter relic compared to aesthete.

[astral edge]

like, i have absolutely no knowledge about the name of what gear im supposed to get

[nocturne wyvern]

But for armor/accessories it’s better than scrip gear.

[neon fog]

is the white scrip III worth getting?

[nocturne wyvern]

Honestly I don’t remember. I gathered the materials and had a much better crafter than myself make it for me.

[neon fog]

to craft Aesthete

I see

[nocturne wyvern]

The fc I run has several bis crafters so I just call on them when I need things. >_>

[umbral dune]

go to 3 city state, limsa, gridania, uldah and teleport to market board, check for Armorer to get Disciple of Hand gear and Trade craft for tool

[nocturne wyvern]

^ this.

The market board has nice categories you can search by.

[astral edge]

oh right

[solemn quarry]

there’s usually a vendor that sells early DOH gear somewhere nearby too

split by level

but mb crafted will almost always be better

[potent lava]

Is the upcoming maint just maint?

[nocturne wyvern]

Hot fixes.

According to the message.

[astral edge]

whats mb mean

[nocturne wyvern]

Market board.

[solemn quarry]

yes sorry ^^

[cursive ridge]

what's the deal with many characters in this game wearing blindfolds

[nocturne wyvern]

They added gear based on Nier automata.

Like all of them have blindfolds.

[cursive ridge]

no, the ones like Yda wears

[nocturne wyvern]

I can’t say without spoilers.

There is a story based reason though.

[solemn jewel]

well it has holes so i guess she can see, so no blindfold

[umbral dune]

why some character wear mask though? it is not that they ugly most of the time

[nocturne wyvern]

Just the game design.

[astral edge]

so "mb crafted" = DOH gear sold on marketboard, that can be crafted by myself too

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s also symbolic.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

Just uldah things

[astral edge]

alright good cause ive been pretty much crafting my own blacksmith tools mostly

uhh im getting alot of all classes gear showing up when i try look for blacksmith headpieces or whatever else

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah it’s unavoidable.

Another option is just to level other crafters and make your own gear.

[nocturne wyvern]

If you level one crafter you need to level all of them anyway.

[astral edge]

that seems like alot of work

[nocturne wyvern]

Yup but otherwise you’ll be spending more buying all the processed materials rather than make it yourself.

[hot eagle]

we dont say level all at once without reason

[sturdy bone]

I've been playing trial on steam. Today I bought the shadowbringers complete edition. Do I need to redownload all the game files again after using keys or is there any way to... just promote the trial ver to full?

[nocturne wyvern]

Cooking is the closest to being standalone but you still need to buy your gear and tools if you can’t make it yourself.
