[shut panther]

It is what it is

[desert quarry]

okay got it! so basically do the mechanics well enough that you can almost always be casting

[patent citrus]

yeah so you push and pull

[shut panther]

The thing is that especially post arr most mechanics don't actually inflict much downtime

[patent citrus]

you pull straight after you release your gcd

[shut panther]

if you're optimizing then

Them

[patent citrus]

and during that downtime, you pull the boss slightly

and go back to the boss to hit another gcd

and then pull again during gcd downtime

[shut panther]

And yeah, moving bosses is a (fairly obnoxious) back and forth dance

Out to get it to move, in for the gcd, out again

Forward and back and then move forward and back

[desert quarry]

ohhhhhh okay good point. i would just sit and wait where i want to pull the boss hahahaha 😅

thanks for the help!!

[ruby pollen]

How do you get a free server transfer to preferred server?

[runic cairn]

be on a congested server

so right now? be on aether

[ruby pollen]

so it costs $ if your server isn't congested?

[runic cairn]

yes

if there are new worlds you can transfer there from any server for free but that's not relevant atm

[ruby pollen]

how do I check for congested and preferred servers to see if I can xfer?

[terse sequoia]

Planning on changing jobs for post-ARR marathon. Is there one that’ll be really good for questing at that level range?

[modest igloo]

SAM and RDM start at 50

[hearty fable]

is there any point in obtaining zodiac weapons now or just work towards the shadowbringer relic weapon?

[azure ivy]

purely for glamour and 1st time title

[hearty fable]

are poetics used in obtaining the shadowbringer relic weapon?

[runic cairn]

past the first

[twilit arch]

the first step uses poetics yes

[runic cairn]

it's 1000 poetics for the base weapon, that's it

[hearty fable]

cool, and its really only just 1 end game weapon per class per expansion yea?

[runic cairn]

it's all upgrades from that base form

[hearty fable]

but in HW, its going to be a brand new base weapon again

yea?

[runic cairn]

that said relics aren't really going to be your endgame weapon while an expansion is ongoing

yea

[hearty fable]

shadowbringer expansion is not done?

[twilit arch]

not every job is going to have a relic weapon for each expansion

only ARR jobs have a zodiac

because they only existed during ARR

[runic cairn]

no, shadowbringers is. we're on the last patch

[hearty fable]

so which weapon is endgame?

[runic cairn]

fully upgraded relic is the best for its expansion

but before it comes out, it's weapons from savage raids or tomestones (which also require tokens from savage raids)

[hearty fable]

ah right, so shadowbringers relcis can be upgraded to max now or still not yet?

[modest igloo]

It is the last patch

So yes

[hearty fable]

ok thanks, so if I don't like the look of Zodiac weapons. i can just skip and go for whichever one I prefer yea?

[twilit arch]

yes

old relics are just for glam at this point

[coral zodiac]

How do people link locations on the map in chat?

[hearty fable]

if I'm focusing mainly on MSQ at this point, i'm more likely to complete shadowbringer before I have Zodiac done yea?

[umbral dune]

relic weapon is a grind thing, and grind takes time if not a lot, MSQ is just linear and straight forward, no rng that can hinder you, so yeah

[hearty fable]

alright, thank you for the info. Much appreciated

[umbral dune]

and ARR, HW, even SB relic is much easier to get once you get to 80 as many step can be done like a no brainer due to how overpower you are

[shadow wyvern]

Hello. Does anyone know what will happen to my current free login period from the campaign if I add sub? Can't but anything on the mogstation because the status of my account is inactive.

[umbral dune]

just extend

[solar kindle]

I am thinking of learning dark knight once it becomes available, what do I need to do to distinguished myself from other tanks and dks? I never tanked before but the class is really cool to me.

[solemn jewel]

slap the boss

[shadow wyvern]

Ok thanks!!

[umbral dune]

you self sustain is poor, you need to manage mp way stricter than other, and your AoE combo just not exist up until level 72 or so

[hard aurora]

72*

concerning DK aoe rotations

[narrow jay]

There's a variety of ways, but the one I use is Ctrl+Right-Click on the map to set a flag marker and send the marker link to the chat.

[hard aurora]

in regards to dark knights; you have little to no personal healing even at high levels, save for abyssal drain and your 123 combo

in regards to MP... at level 70, you get The Blackest Night

!action the blackest night

[zinc orbit]

**The Blackest Night** : lvl 70 DRK (3000 MP) (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow

Powered by XIVAPI

[hard aurora]

you will learn to love this ability

you can chuck it on yourself or a party member, potentially saving them and of course yourself from a tank buster

its so useful

[solar kindle]

Are dark knights just a bad idea for some content?

[narrow jay]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[narrow jay]

^

[hard aurora]

@solar kindle all classes are viable in all types of content

[narrow jay]

Even Paladin.

despite its best efforts

[hard aurora]

dark knights are not bad at stuff, its simply the context of they do things better than other classes, vice versa

like personally i love dark knight

i take it everywhere in level 80 content and i smash

[narrow jay]

And by "better", keep in mind, the differences are always extremely marginal.

[hard aurora]

indeed

for it always falls under player skill

[narrow jay]

Like, Samurai is regarded as one of the hardest-hitting Big Dick Damage DPS classes, while Bard is currently one of the lowest, but a Bard player who understands mechanics will always out-DPS a SAM who does not.

the main tank for our static is also a DRK, and she regularly parses purple or higher

[amber portal]

Hello, I have a question regarding the Twitch promotion right now collab with FF14. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/7ba82d0fbd072e2aacca091a0b73bb377a7fb821

I was wondering does the streamer need to be online at the moment of buying a gift sub? Thanks guys.

[glacial isle]

what was the boss who's ultimate attack ||shoots a giant laser from the moon at the party hitting a galaxy like its an old-school Final Fantasy summon?||

[leaden ginkgo]

||The first Eden boss, I think that's the one you're thinking of||

[twilit arch]

sounds like it ye

[glacial isle]

thx

[leaden ginkgo]

It's the only one I can think of that has Golden Sun levels of overkill off the top of my head

[glacial isle]

yeah it was that one

[patent citrus]

ff8 strongest summon, eden :p

[glacial isle]

looks it up
ah so that's why it looks like that

[hot eagle]

While the channel is streaming FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, gift one (1) or a cumulative of four (4) subscriptions to earn rewards. Subscriptions gifted anonymously will not count toward the campaign. so yeah the streamer needs to be online and streaming ffxiv

[amber portal]

noted noted thanks

[exotic ridge]

So still few hrs left ?

[amber portal]

Yes a few hours but I dont know if I can still get it. I subbed to a streamer that was offline

[patent citrus]

Yesterday there was a person who subbed an offline streamer and He didn't get his

[amber portal]

Yea, money wasted sad.

[patent citrus]

#questions-and-help message

[violet delta]

Is there a good way to tell what things i can use feint on? Its a very underutilized ability for me

[patent citrus]

a bit hard to see, but usually it's when the boss hit with his weapon/fist instead of casting ranged skill (even in melee range)

[fringe bone]

anyone know howlong for maintance >.>

[amber portal]

terrible. I mean, I honestly didn't know because my buddy just told me today about it and he told me to sub to a streamer but it wasn't the one I watch so might as well sub to one that I liked. But that streamer was offfline.

[twilit arch]

pins/do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

[amber portal]

And nobody is streamer now because of maint

[patent citrus]

every maintenance yeah

they will announce everytime it changes status

[dire remnant]

Quick question, preordering endwalker doesn't get you a 30 day subscription does it

[twilit arch]

no

[dire remnant]

Sweet thanks

[twilit arch]

expacs never give game time

[dire remnant]

Ah thanks, i'll keep that mind mind, i only ever got the collector edition for up to shb so didn't know if expansions did or not

[fringe bone]

ty

[umbral dune]

do all the mount, minion, barding, orchestrion on store count toward ingame achievement or purely cosmetic?

[twilit arch]

The orchestrions i think should count towards the total orchestrions owned achievement

but not sure

[jade quartz]

There are no achievements for gathering any of those except orchestrion

[proud seal]

whats the maint for? on steam charts it looks like its been a while since a maint

[twilit arch]

hotfixes and infrastructure stuff

[solemn jewel]

hotfixing server stuff

[proud seal]

ah i see, is it actually very uncommon to have maint?

[twilit arch]

mhm generally only get maint when we're getting a patch or like today, hotfixes

[proud seal]

i used to play bdo and it was like every week

[solar kindle]

@proud seal from what I was able to find it was due to the unexpected massive influx of players

[proud seal]

ooo

thats cool they can keep servers stable for so long

[full wagon]

Can anyone tell me what the best way to level crafters from 70-80 is? Is it still just spamming Ishgard crafts?

+GC turn ins

[spring dirge]

i did ishgard crafts from 70 to 80

[twilit arch]

Can also do leves, collectables, dwarf dailies

should also do the facet quests

as those basically give a level

[solemn jewel]

every few weeks

[full wagon]

I did from 20-70 and I guess now to 80 lol

[solemn jewel]

but with endwalker coming and the server issues there will be a bit more

[twilit arch]

its really not every few weeks

the last maint we had (before today) was july 19

ignoring the eu emeregency maint

[solemn jewel]

oh ye im EU i counted the eu one

[spring dirge]

I actually did leves from 20-50, then vanilla collectibles, then idyllshire collectibles, then ishgardian restoration. I had no clue restoration even existed for players under level 80.

[cobalt burrow]

meep meep meep

[full wagon]

Im broke af doing high level restoration crafts

[twilit arch]

are you buying mats

[leaden ginkgo]

I have overflowing amount of Bozjan coins, but does anyone know how I can use it? I have itlv520 gears, so I'm not interested in anything below it.

[twilit arch]

cos restoration shouldn't really be that costly if you're gathering your own mats

[spring dirge]

not everyone gathers their own stuff

[full wagon]

Of course. Fastest way to level… until you run out of money

[twilit arch]

you should level gatherers

[full wagon]

They are leveled

Well besides fisher

[twilit arch]

then go gather mats yourself instead of buying :d

[devout hollow]

What do I do with my life when FF14 is down?

[full wagon]

FF14 discord

[twilit arch]

Question existances in #general-discussion and not here

[devout hollow]

Fair

[cursive ridge]

can you do a manual search on your bags? or do you have to find a link for the item first, paste it in chat, and click search item from that?

[devout hollow]

Does anyone here play really really high-end game content with a controller? I wonder how viable it is. I am on PS5 and I was wondering if I should buy a mouse and keyboard with that.

[twilit arch]

can use /iserach to look for items

[devout hollow]

*/isearch [item name]

[cursive ridge]

awesome

is it an exact match, case sensitive?

[devout hollow]

I dont think there is a seperate UI

[twilit arch]

case sensitive no

can just do like /isearch shire

to bring up everything that has the word shire in it

[thorn thicket]

Is there a slash command for demi-firebird like bahamut?

[cursive ridge]

awesome

[twilit arch]

no

but iirc there was an interview recently

that mentioned it

[thorn thicket]

Thanks, mild curiosity

[umbral dune]

what should i do to fill in the 20 level gap in the diadem, like continuing collect level 60 or use gp and get 80 for more exp?

[jade quartz]

Nope

Can’t resize it, annoyingly

[fervent marsh]

still maintenance?

[jade quartz]

Yep five more hours

[fervent marsh]

ok ty

[cursive ridge]

i'm looking through slash commands and i see the /nastatus command, which says 'toggle new adventurer status on/off'. does that mean manually turning off sprout icon?

[leaden ginkgo]

Was it extended I thought it was just 3hrs20mins?

[runic cairn]

yes

[tulip gale]

That’s what I was typing haha

[sudden shale]

If someone is booted from an FC but they have a private room, what happens to that room?

[thorn thicket]

Auto demolished

And their items, if there were any, go to... some housing NPC, spacing on the name

[cursive ridge]

which emote is better suited to say 'thanks'. i'm a bit surprised there isn't a /thanks or /ty

[thorn thicket]

Bow

[cursive ridge]

hm ok

[sudden shale]

Ohhh right I think I know the NPC you’re talking about! Thank you!

[sudden shale]

Make sure you don’t turn that status off if you’re part of the novice network or want to be in it, I wasn’t able to be invited while I had that off

[cursive ridge]

this channel is better anyway

it's like a mega novice network

[sudden shale]

Haha I’m new to both

[spare plinth]

What are some good hw artifact weapons for glamour. I dun goofed when I farmed three elemental crystals when I’m supposed to get one of each

One I’m planning is the blm one

[thorn thicket]

Eh, it’s all personal preference

A lot of people like the AST one though

[spare plinth]

Yeah the ast one is pretty, might add it to my list

I’m probably gonna focus on the first anima one

[jade quartz]

PLD

[spare plinth]

Like animated and awoken one

That’s it

[exotic ridge]

How long for the maint still

[dusky nest]

you can check in #kupo-bot-spam

[upbeat dune]

why no patch notes?

[dusky nest]

they usually come online a bit further into the maint

[upbeat dune]

alright thanks

[honest lotus]

beast tribes are something I want to get into right

[full wagon]

Idk I have only been doing the beast tribes that have mounts I am interested in. Not sure what value there is outside of that

[storm sapphire]

They some neat stuff, like mounts, furniture, etc, and some are good for leveling

[sudden shale]

If you craft I’d say yes, sometimes they have materials only available at their vendors

[steel hornet]

Some of them give good materials that make crafting easier too

[honest lotus]

cool, thanks y’all

[digital zenith]

are the Korean servers not being maintained?

there are livestreamers on twitch streaming ffxiv

[twilit arch]

KR/CN operate separately from the rest of the game

they are run by a different publisher

which also means maints are done at different times

[nocturne wyvern]

The HW and beyond beast tribes give a decent amount of exp and give even more when your rep with them increases. It can provide a nice daily boost of exp for only 5-10 minutes of work.

@honest lotus See above.

[full wagon]

Idk I did the moogle and vath beast tribe quests and the exp was basically zero lol

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah it increases and the exp is reduced beyond a certain level range.

But vanu and vath dailies are a decent chunk for level 50-60 characters.

[twilit arch]

for combat tribes you can go a little into the next lvl range and get decent exp

like 62 or so for vath/vanu

but the crafting/gathering tribes get knee capped

so doing moogles at 61 is going to give really meh exp

[flint tiger]

if you buy the endwalkers game will you also get the stormblodd and shadownringers if you don't have it yet?

[cursive ridge]

only when it releases in 3 months

but yes

[full wagon]

I am doing the moogle quests just for the mount and my level 70 crafters don’t get literally anything

[twilit arch]

to wit: vath, vanu,moogles = 50-60
kojin, ananta, namazu = 60-70
pixies, dwarves, qitari = 70-80

ye

because you are way overleveled for the moogles

[green prairie]

Hello everyone

[twilit arch]

you should be doing dwarves

[full wagon]

Havent got that far in the msq lol

Im a weaver main okay

[leaden ginkgo]

Does maintenance ever end early

[full wagon]

Lol go to bed

[uneven brook]

what time does maintenance end?

[full wagon]

In a few hours I think

[alpine shadow]

3 hours

[twilit arch]

yes, theres a chance for this maint to end early

[honest lotus]

damn y’all be addicted to ffxiv

[thin vector]

how has school in like 3 hrs

[cursive ridge]

it's a good game

[honest lotus]

every other message I see someone asking about it

[solemn jewel]

Its so easy to just check the Lodestone

[honest lotus]

ofc it is but breaks are good

[cursive ridge]

i love that ffxiv lets me do all crafting stuff on one character, such a breath of fresh air compared to wow where i had to maintain a battery of alts to do all professions

[full wagon]

Lode-what? Anyway what time is the maintenance supposed to be finished? 🤣

[solemn jewel]

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

silence

[full wagon]

There should be a bot that just posts that every time “maintenance” and “when” or “?” appear in the same message

[alpine shadow]

!maint

in #kupo-bot-spam

and there is alot of them

[flint tiger]

whats the difference between the complete edition and the endwalkers expansion?

[full wagon]

There should be a bot that posts those instructions whenever someone asks 🤣

[alpine shadow]

complete edition only includes shadowbringers atm

[solemn jewel]

complete is everything without endwalker

[umbral dune]

open the launcher, read the feed, there will post whenever maint complete so stop ask about it

[solemn jewel]

if u buy endwalker ur gonna get the stuff but only in november

[thorn thicket]

Rarely does it ever end excessively early, maybe sub 30 minutes

[flint tiger]

thanks

[umbral dune]

last maint done in like 8h but it took 15-20 mins after for server to be ready so complete is not even mean you can play yet

[storm sapphire]

There are some stuff you get from ew right now though if you order, like the exp earring and the 1 minion

[full wagon]

Do the exp accessories work on retainers?

[twilit arch]

no

[full wagon]

Lol. Sad. I had the pre-level 30 ring on one and thought I was so clever

[thorn thicket]

Exp boosts only work on mob exp

So OG grinding. Not system rewarded exp, like roulettes, dungeon completion, quests, map completion, etc

[alpine shadow]

do the latest leveling dungeon, it should work greatly on that

[indigo violet]

hey wondering if mounts are cross character ?

[alpine shadow]

no

[solemn jewel]

some online store ones are account wide.

[left whale]

I lvled blu from 1 to 70 in an hour with the EW preorder earring

[indigo violet]

ty

[scarlet hinge]

What can ninja do better than dragoon?

[thorn thicket]

And? That’s OG grinding. BLU get a ton more exp by default from mobs

[left whale]

Damn brah

[thorn thicket]

Proper AoEs for one thing.

[modest igloo]

More controlled jumps, Trick is great support, but both do about the same damage

DRG is more static NIN is burst and then 1-2-3

[indigo violet]

whats the best pvp tank? or are they relatively close

[thorn thicket]

There is a better one... it’s just escaping me at the moment....

DRK?

[modest igloo]

WAR seems to be the most popular but all are good

All the tanks have a tether right?

[indigo violet]

im not sure, im pretty new

[thorn thicket]

It’d have to check all the tanks pvp skills

[modest igloo]

I know WAR has a tether and great self heals

[green prairie]

@full wagon got any tips as a weaver main? I started that class yesterday

[indigo violet]

i saw that all tanks got buffed

[velvet nymph]

What’s the easiest crafter to level up just so I can do the daily’s that require a level 70 crafter?

[thorn thicket]

Any?

[leaden ginkgo]

They're all about the same

[thorn thicket]

They all in general have the same amount of work

[lunar nexus]

Crafters all have the same skills. The only difference is their recipes and their primary/secondary tools

[thorn thicket]

Leatherworker might be the most annoying, relying on mob drops

[lunar nexus]

There’s not really one that’s easier to level than the other in any meaningful way

[velvet nymph]

Oh alright then

[indigo violet]

DRK buff seems good in pvp, no?

Bloodspiller The additional effect "Absorbs 100% of damage dealt as HP" has been added.
Quietus The additional effect "Absorbs 100% of damage dealt as HP" has been added.

[thorn thicket]

(Seriously SE, either buff Mug, or give us a skinning action)

[little swift]

The changes to bloodspiller and quietus helped drk a lot

But gnb and war still perform extremely solidly

[full wagon]

Craft hempen and cloth gear and sell on the market. You can buy the mats from the weaver’s guild for like 30 gil and sell for 6,000-30,000 on the market

[green prairie]

much appreciated, thank you 😄

[indigo violet]

would you go gnb or war? if you play an aggresive tank

ive only played PAL so far

[little swift]

Whichever you're more comfy with tbh. I play mostly drk in pvp

[cursive ridge]

can you travel to another world in your server group and buy stuff from the market board there?

[warm snow]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

good

[rigid anvil]

wait you can even buy in different data center?

[nocturne wyvern]

No. Only server.

Another server.

You can’t travel to other data centers yet.

[civic kernel]

So I have the console edition of FFXIV if I where to buy the steam version would I also need to buy the shadow bringers and endwalker dlc?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

You have to rebuy all of it.

[leaden ginkgo]

Which are the missions considered best/fastest to farm in the Omega raid for relic parts? 1 and 3?

[civic kernel]

Now that's poopy

[cursive ridge]

so playing on a lower populated servers is like living in the suburbs - slightly more housing space, but can still buy stuff from the popular place after you jump through a few hoops

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes. Though for the parts from 1 it might be faster to do the fates in Zad.

[slate arrow]

Blame japanese anti trust laws

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s a mood. Mateus used to be the second smallest server on the data center and then when they opened free transfers it became the second largest.

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea that's what I was thinking, I'll unlock the 3rd mission and then got to Zad farming and move back to that mission once I'm done with the FATEs part

[nocturne wyvern]

You may also want to make a premade for O3 if possible. I did with one tank, one healer, and 6 dps.

[warm snow]

Yes but there basicallt aren't any lower populated servers in the west atm

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm kinda a solo player so for these things I'm usually only left with matchmaking in duty finder sadly 😓

[nocturne wyvern]

I used the pf not people I know. :x

[cursive ridge]

i think the one i was prompted to start on was in the 'normal' category while some others in my group were restricted

[warm snow]

Character creation locks mean basically nothing with regards actual server population

[opaque fiber]

Are there patch notes for today's patch already?

[warm snow]

Not yet

[opaque fiber]

So there will be when it's done?

[warm snow]

If at all, it's just hotfixes and server maintenance

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not a patch. It’s hot fixes according to the notice.

[cursive ridge]

found this https://www.gamepur.com/guides/final-fantasy-xiv-server-populations
so technically i'm on the lowest population server in my group

[carmine oriole]

can i get the road to 70 buff if i travel to the preferred world?

[opaque fiber]

Oh I see, about the ddos stuff I guess?

[nocturne wyvern]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[warm snow]

No

[nocturne wyvern]

Bug fixes, maintenance, and such usually don’t include a lot of details about what they do.

[vernal urchin]

we probably won't even get patch notes for this

[green prairie]

hi, dumb question time. Is there a way to know where certain materials can be farmed? There are some stuff I need for weaver but can't buy through the merchant at the guild and I don't know where to farm it.

[opaque fiber]

Btw are join queues the same for the entire DC or different for each world?

[nocturne wyvern]

If you hit B and open the gathering menu it tells you.

[warm snow]

Its not in response to the ddos. Its a bunch of small bug fixes being rolled out all at once. As well as general server maintance

[carmine oriole]

thanks for your answer man, cheers!

[cursive ridge]

note that unless you can gather it (sufficient level) it won't tell you

[green prairie]

well, thank you for answering, i'll check it out when the game is up again

[green prairie]

oh

[cursive ridge]

you can use external websites to learn more

[green prairie]

well good to know either way lol

[vernal urchin]

if it's stuff like silks and whatnot, those can only be obtained from killing mobs

[opaque fiber]

Anyone knows?

[nocturne wyvern]

The gathering menu will tell you where to find things like flax and linen and such.

[nocturne wyvern]

Each world.

[cursive ridge]

@green prairie https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/FF14_Wiki and https://www.garlandtools.org/db/ are good places to search an item you can't find in the game's gathering log

[opaque fiber]

well I think the website is outdated then (the population)

[green prairie]

thank you all ❤️

[opaque fiber]

when the ddos stuff happened spriggan had 2k queue while cerberus had 1.5k, no clue if it means anything

[nocturne wyvern]

I wouldn’t 100% trust any numbers not officially from SE anyway.

[opaque fiber]

Yeah true

Those are always speculations from data on the internet

[green prairie]

I got the game not long ago and I'm confused about almost everything. I'm still having a lot of fun though, ty for the help

[nocturne wyvern]

Feel free to ask or DM if you have any questions.

[warm snow]

People got kicked so try log back in queue gets big

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi I wonder how long still left for update?

[nocturne wyvern]

100~ minutes?

[green prairie]

1 hour 42 mins

[leaden ginkgo]

I see thx for info

[nocturne wyvern]

Also it’s not an update it’s just maintenance and hot fixes. >_>

[green prairie]

YO Opera 😄

[cursive ridge]

hang on, is gardening on gridanian estates just straight up better?

[leaden ginkgo]

Gardening is the same regardless of where it is

[cursive ridge]

oh they mean gridanian soil and you can transplant it

[neat patrol]

Is housing still as extremely unhealthy of a system as a video I watched about it from a year ago?

[shut panther]

Yes

No real changes have been made

The population explosion has only made things worse

Ishgard will have an improved situation, is my understanding

But that's 6.1

[cursive ridge]

i also heard that endwalker will add wards to existing housing districts

[shut panther]

I don't recall hearing that, but it's certainly possible

[tidal yarrow]

is the maintenance going on still?

[cursive ridge]

i don't remember where i heard that either

[warm snow]

[nocturne wyvern]

80~ minutes left.

[cursive ridge]

is Kupo a race or a given name

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s a sound moogles make.

"patch notes"

[nocturne wyvern]

And is often used in their speech.

[worldly herald]

How do you guys set up your keybinds if u play on such a keyboard

[cursive ridge]

what's special about this keyboard

[umbral dune]

no F1 to F12, then use shift, ctrl and alt

[worldly herald]

So ctrl/shift/alt + 1-9 ?

[neat patrol]

I use "Q, E, R, F, C, T, X, Z, 1-5" and mix them with shift and control, with 3 hotbars.

[nocturne wyvern]

Indeed. Any fixes are just band aids at this point.

[cursive ridge]

yes and also use letters around your wasd for these modifiers too

[umbral dune]

and then those first line of letter

[neat patrol]

I even use the " ` " key for a few too

[worldly herald]

Okay. Are those letters not being occupied by other things?

[neat patrol]

I removed all keybinds and remapped them all manually, a lot of things binded don't even need to be

[worldly herald]

Ah I see

[river oasis]

how do people make the gretting macro sounds at the start / end instance?

[neat patrol]

Most keybinds are taken by menus and stuff that you can just use the mouse to click on

[cursive ridge]

personal prefernce

[leaden ginkgo]

how long until i can get into the game

[worldly herald]

Oh yea that's true. Thank you

[warm snow]

There's a sound effect command for macros, try not to do this, it can get annoying very easily

[worldly herald]

I had trouble trying to choose a comfortable keybind

[warm snow]

Have you heard of pins?

[river oasis]

what about the greetings with the up and down arrow?

[nocturne wyvern]

@neat patrol They wanted to create actual neighborhoods with housing but new wards don’t pop dynamically as old ones are filled. Once the houses are all taken that’s it. You either wait for someone to get rid of their’s, buy an apartment, or hope you get lucky when they add new ones.

[gloomy mortar]

I just tried logging in... The start window started downloading something, getting my hopes up, then it says not available during maintenance, lol

[cursive ridge]

get lucky + have a lot of money

[warm snow]

Yeah cuz maintenance is still going on

And the hotfixes are tiny

Like 25mb

[umbral dune]

wait for 20mins, it needs some times to get ready after the update

[gloomy mortar]

What did I download then? lol

[warm snow]

The 25mb of hotfixes

[nocturne wyvern]

A minor set of fixes.

[umbral dune]

that is client side, not server side

[nocturne wyvern]

Maintenance is supposed to be on for another 80~ minutes.

[jolly bane]

Is it true that servers on Crystal are more user friendly? Are the other DCs full of tryhards

[cursive ridge]

i've wasted like 5 hours of being awake not being able to play

[warm snow]

My heart bleeds for you

[umbral dune]

if i get in fast enough, there should be A rank train already right?

[warm snow]

No

[pale saffron]

hey guys, this maintenance shouldnt have a patch right

[umbral dune]

pause spawn time in maint?

[warm snow]

It's hotfixes

[pale saffron]

like additional downloads

no right...

[gloomy mortar]

The last time, they didn't start the A rank train until a few hours after it opened, as I remember

[warm snow]

25mb

[pale saffron]

dammit

okie ty

[warm snow]

A) even if there was enough mobs spawned to do a train it would be a dick move to do it immediately
B) trains still require scouting
C) trains are player run

[umbral dune]

at least jp is easy to get in, even at peak time

[nocturne wyvern]

You could have just figured out the end time, gone to sleep, and set an alarm. :p

[cursive ridge]

that requires planning and forethought

[warm snow]

#rants

[gloomy mortar]

There's an achievement for defeating ARR Rank A 50s, which are not a part of the hunt trains. They should be all spawned, so you might consider doing that

[umbral dune]

the lizard in western thanalan is quite annoying with paralyze, how to solo it without using a healer?

[warm snow]

!skill esuna

[zinc orbit]

**Esuna** : lvl 10 CNJ WHM SCH AST (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.0 second base cast time)

Removes a single detrimental effect from target.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warm snow]

Probably

[sick juniper]

Spine drops?

[cursive ridge]

that's a healer skill though

[gloomy mortar]

@umbral dune I just solo'd that one with a level 80 tank and chocobo.

[warm snow]

Kill it before para becomes a problem, or don't play a caster with long cast times

[worldly cove]

Fun question; I'm running an event on Saturday where contestants need to get as close to the deepest chamber they can get in a treasure map dungeon - which one do you think is going to be the best one to 'grind' in that hour?

[warm snow]

Use your interrupts before it can para you

[cursive ridge]

which job is the toughest solo survivalist?

[warm snow]

There's no "best"

[warm snow]

Dark knight

Or most melees

[worldly cove]

maps with 3 doors are a no no, the maps with 5 chambers are a no no, so it's going to be one of the 7 chamber ones, making one the best

[warm snow]

There are maps with 7 Chambers?

[worldly cove]

Yes

[tall raven]

are maintenance often in FF14

[warm snow]

No

This is our first in over a month

oh

[boreal storm]

If something really bad happens we get random maints.

[warm snow]

Last all world maint was jul19th

Eu had emergency maint jul22

[nocturne wyvern]

Emergency maintenance definitely happened a few times prior but only for a few worlds.

[barren granite]

servers up ?"

[boreal storm]

Still no

[barren granite]

ok just got up so didnt see any previous ..

[warm snow]

[solemn jewel]

u can check server status on the lodestone :)

[umbral dune]

what about S rank, can a level 80 solo it(those in ARR)?

[warm snow]

Yes but everyone will call you a dick for sniping it

[umbral dune]

i never see it anyway, oop actually once and 50 guys killed it in 5 secs

[errant walrus]

i heard the maintenance will end in like, 1 hour later?

[gloomy mortar]

Any recommendations for fun things to do when the servers open up, but before the hunt trains have started? Last time it was a ghost town lol. I figure there's something to do lol

[warm snow]

[umbral dune]

do i have to deal certain damage in a hunt train to get the full reward or just constant hitting?

[boreal storm]

It’s about aggro generation

So be a tank and/or be in a party

Ye

[umbral dune]

congest yeah

[barren granite]

is there a forum on Sq Enix website to read or do most post on reddit ?

i cant find one there

[umbral dune]

lodestone

[barren granite]

on theie site

wow why is the link so small ?

[cursive ridge]

what do these stars mean?

[umbral dune]

why you want to read on SE when there is a dedicated site for FF14?

[barren granite]

cuz im bored

[nocturne wasp]

Heyo, unsure if this should be asked here but it is a question.
I want to make an alt on Chaos EU server, but does anyone know the economy in Chaos? I wanna join a server and be able to sell things at decent prices while I level basically.

[alpine shadow]

fashion, probably means of how 'difficult' it is, leveling = 1 star, leveling 50/60/70 2 star, expert 3 stars

or what rank it is

[hoary veldt]

how would i create a focus target? I saw someone have it in a video as a healer so he could see what the boss is casting without targeting the boss

[alpine shadow]

Shift + F

[cursive ridge]

you can make a keybind for it

[nocturne wyvern]

You can also right click the enemy hp bar as well.

[nocturne wasp]

That's how I do it

[hoary veldt]

oh didn't think it'd be so simple thanks

[nocturne wyvern]

Nothing.

[umbral dune]

and a keybind to switch to focus target when there is add to prioritize

killing b rank mark right now would be a bad move right?

[cursive ridge]

b rank respawns 5 seconds after you kill it

[umbral dune]

and whole server is doing so

[cursive ridge]

why would they it's a weekly reset

[umbral dune]

now it is a weekly reset (1h ago actually)

[cursive ridge]

oh, that makes sense

[nocturne wyvern]

There is an achievement for killing each B rank at least once and a weekly quest to kill a random one. Luckily they respawn almost instantly so if you kill one for the achievements no one will care.

[stray plover]

Am so lost how do people manage gear for all the jobs. Finished my first 80 recently and my retainer/saddle/bags are all full of random lvl gear for random jobs from that I got from MSQ. Am I supposed to just sell it/vendor it all ? Is there a cheap gear you can get while leveling alts or ? Am starting to have no inventory slots lol.

[nocturne wyvern]

You can vendor it, desynth it, or toss it.

I have everything capped at 80 and once you do that it’s not too hard to manage gear but I’m a minimalist in how much gear and items I have on me at any time.

[umbral dune]

i know it, that why i am doing it right now, still need to get a wyvern

[manic rune]

you can toss lvling gear bc you can get that easily from dungeons

[stray plover]

@nocturne wyvern Yeah I can imagine that, but what do you do till you get that point ?

[nocturne wyvern]

As for cheap gear there’s always dungeon drops. You can spam leveling dungeons and get all the gear you need while leveling something.

[manic rune]

keep tome gear for other classes

ironworks/shire/scaevan

[narrow jay]

the blue ones for level 50/60/70

[nocturne wyvern]

I tossed any white quality gear as soon as I was done with it.

I only kept dungeon drops and once I had nothing that could use it.

I tossed it.

[manic rune]

once you finish all jobs from a role (i.e. all tanks to 80) you can toss out everything except the lvl 80 stuff

[narrow jay]

Once you open up the Doman Restoration, you can donate a certain amount of gear/stuff weekly for a gil reimbursement, up to a cap, and your GC quartermaster accepts green/blue/pink rarity stuff to trade in for GC seals

Yes.

[boreal storm]

Either works

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s no correct answer there.

[patent citrus]

Gearset, recommended gear button and never keep gray gears

[slate arrow]

Unless you're specifically chasing desynth for an unknown rare mat chance increase which is insignificant, go with GC seals first

[patent citrus]

It's very hard to fill your armoury unless you are keeping all Gray gears

[desert cedar]

how long till the maintenance is over?

[lament quarry]

im in currently

[patent citrus]

Already over

[lucid oasis]

Alright so.. ID or password is incorrect, but it's not. I am putting everything in exactly right. So wth is going on?

[patent citrus]

There's scamming random message recently before maintenance. You didn't click that right?

[narrow jay]

that is not a question this channel can answer lol

[lucid oasis]

Well someone told me to come here😐

[slate arrow]

Or or are you putting in your SE STORE details instead of your SE ID details

[lucid oasis]

I tried putting in email, but it's not big enough

[patent citrus]

I'm putting in the square enix site one

hello, i realized something i did only blue quests of appear under msq... it s because i dumb.. is there any guide or list of blue quests shows which one should do, which one i can delay

[boreal storm]

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[slate arrow]

Really those are the only required ones, besides some weird ARR requirements

Namely primals and crystal tower

Oh and Gold Saucer for a specific Stormblood quest

[lunar stratus]

okay im 39 so content is realm reborn right ?

[patent citrus]

Take whatever blue quest you saw. They are important though not compulsory.

You don't want to go back and check which content you should've unlocked

[slate arrow]

Yep. Until you hit 50, all you really need to worry about is story and job quests

[frank fox]

Is there a way to get notified when a skill comes off cooldown? Like a short popup on your screen or a sound? I keep forgetting to use Lucid Dreaming.
Early content was way too easy so i just ignored it all the time -.-
(Thinking about the WeakAuras addon for World of Warcraft, if that helps anyone)

[patent citrus]

No, just practice

[lunar stratus]

oh thanks a lot guys. you guys are kind... thank you.

[slate arrow]

I had a hotbar blown up to 200% so I can keep an eye on it before I got used to it

[lunar stratus]

i have another question, im healer playing white mage.. but i cant see the debuffs and buffs are well.. is there any addon like wow or can i change it in settings?

[slate arrow]

The only important debuffs are the ones with a blue line over them

[patent citrus]

Can change in setting

[frank fox]

So a big fat hotbar just for lucid dreaming to make sure i dont miss it? Might be worth a shot

daaaamn you guys have faq for everything... thank you :3

[hoary veldt]

how do i go about updating ACT?

[slate arrow]

Open ACT, it'll automatically check for updates by itselfb

[hoary veldt]

yea it's on the latest version but after maintenance dps doesnt show so idk

[obsidian patio]

give it a day or so

usually updated by then

always breaks on maintenances

[slate arrow]

yeah that since there's no official API

so like yeah just be patient

[hoary veldt]

okay ty just wanted to know the process

[lucid oasis]

Is there any way to find registration code?

[fringe plaza]

Hello, there's no quest offered to me from the event npc. I'm already level 30+, or is it require you pass the level 30 main quest?

[slate arrow]

The quest starts in limsa

aftcastle

unless you're talking about the rising which hasn't started yet....?

[lucid oasis]

Nvm I'm dumb

Found it

[fringe plaza]

@slate arrow what rising?

[stable minnow]

does anyone know offhand if the previous expansions are likely to go on sale again before endwalker release?

[runic cairn]

The Rising is the a realm reborn anniversary event, and starts on the 27th

[slate arrow]

okay yeah so it hasn't started just making sure

The moonfire faire starts in Limsa at the Aftcastle

[fringe plaza]

the official event page just says requirements is level 30

AND I'm right here, at limsa

[umbral dune]

what do we do with the Rising, just simple quest like the moonfaire?

[fringe plaza]

no quest marker no nothing on him

[boreal storm]

You sure you don’t see a yellow quest

[slate arrow]

Probably, but we don't know because this is the first time an expansion has launched this late

[slate arrow]

Did you check your journal log

[nocturne wyvern]

Whatever your highest jobs are.

They can’t go higher level than you in a job.

[fringe plaza]

what's the quest name?

@slate arrow

[slate arrow]

Unseasonable Chills

[stray plover]

What does the mark mean ?

[runic cairn]

high quality

[slate arrow]

High Quality, which grants bonus stats or quality

[nocturne wyvern]

They get random items with gear increasing chances of rare items.

[slate arrow]

jobs is mainly so you can use job gear

[nocturne wyvern]

You can also send them out to hunt monster parts if you don’t feel like doing so yourself.

[slate arrow]

But all combat retainers have the same loot pool

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Unseasonable_Chills @fringe plaza

[fringe plaza]

@slate arrow alright I found it, thanks and apologize for the inconvenience

[slate arrow]

You need to meet the minimum stats for things

For gatherers that's the gathering stat

For combat that's the average item level

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s no rng when you send them to get monster parts other than the amount of HQ vs NQ. The quantity is always the same.

But if you send them on random ventures then the rng for loot comes in to play.

Like my paladin retainer that brought me back a roof one day and then some dye on the very next one.

[broken python]

would anyone be willing to potentially help diagnose my last few evenings (european server, lich) connectivity issues, I played for at least 4 hours sunday from noon til evening, and I even did raids all of friday night for at least 5 hours without hiccups, but later on sunday, as well as yesterday from 6pm to 9pm the game started having weird inconsistency in connectivity and i would just get disconnect time and time again after playing sometimers for 5 minutes sometimes 30 mins, I've been playing for over a month and had no issue like that, I tried calling my ISP too and they said people weren't experiencing more issues than regular these days either. Is there any possibility of my router going wonky (playing on desktop through ethernet via router) or some weird packet loss going on in terms of ff14? Though usually when FF14 starts lagging, chrome does too, so that might not be the case, I just notice that outside of FF14 my connectivity's pretty good.

[slate arrow]

Sounds like a node failure which isn't in control of your ISP

you can try VPNing around it to force a new route or wait for the node to be fixed

[broken python]

can you tl;dr me or link me what a node failure is exactly?

[slate arrow]

tl;dr the route between you and the server is broke, take detour

[broken python]

and that is FF14 specific or could be domain wide?

[slate arrow]

ff14

Because the servers are all in the same place, your internet route is usually the same every time

so when the route explodes so does your connection to the servers

[broken python]

ill try to do more tests after work tonight and see how it goes, otherwise I might just try and get a better router too, the current one is basically lowest end but it's been reliable in my other place, but it does have very small cache/ram which might also be the case

[slate arrow]

It's not your ISP it's another company who's running the node which is why your ISP says everything is fine

And it's not the servers cause we'd get lodestone report

[broken python]

but wouldnt the rest of the internet work fine then?

[slate arrow]

yes

It's only your FFXIV connection which is wonky

[lucid oasis]

I finally got in.. Now it's updating

[slate arrow]

Because the 'main' route your internet takes for FFXIV is broke

[patent citrus]

yeah would recommend mudfish if you need VPN

it's cheap

[slate arrow]

And unlike FFXIV, companies like google and Microsoft operate a variety of data centers so if one connection is broke you have alternatives

Ffxiv doesn't have the same ability unless you want to play on NA or JP servers

[broken python]

I'll potentially try that tbh, I did call my ISP and they said they'll try and track my activity as well as offered to let me try a different router to see if that is the case

it sucks when you go over a month without hiccups and now its two evenings in a row i cant even play

[slate arrow]

Hopefully! The best right now alternative though is definitely trying a VPn to force a new route

[patent citrus]

hmm

you might've broken something else, lol

if anything else except ffxiv works, I wouldn't ask them to change anything

not sure if it's worthed 😓

[slate arrow]

because again it's a node failure, which is entirely out of your ISP's control unless it's their node, but that's not likely

[patent citrus]

I tested 24 hours connection to the Light DC yesterday.. Not many losses but if it's your game time, It's sucks ping sent every 3 secs

[broken python]

as I said it's been hard to pinpoint because during the day all works fine but in the evening i boot up ff14, i start playing, alls good, alls fine but then 30+ mins in i start getting lag mid-raid or something, then suddenly get "disconnected from server" message, then I also try relogging as well as trying to go to speedtest etc, but then even speedtest is being weird and slow (most funny thing I managed to catch yesterday was this gem where my upload literally died somehow?

[patent citrus]

hmm that's weird..

if pingtest says it, then it's probably your overall internet connection hmm

[broken python]

I seriously still dont want to rule out my router which I bought ~3 months ago just being overflooded or something

[patent citrus]

not only your connection to FFXIV

[broken python]

yeah

it starts when i play ff14 but it can be very much a coincidence

because its always evening

[patent citrus]

o_o

[stable minnow]

stuck in a conundrum, i messed up and now have a steam account and a windows account. my steam account has the expansions but no sub, my windows has my current main character and a sub but no expansions. my choices are to stay on my main, preorder endwalker and just wait a few months for any expansion content or just fresh level from 1 on steam account with existing expansions. is there enough content in base to last for a few months? what do you guys recommend

[patent citrus]

depends on your playtime I think, I needed 2 months to finish ARR o_o

and some people just blast them in few days

depends how you play your game

you can monitor multiple host at the same time, It notifies you if you experienced packet loss

and that way you can have both store and mogstation account with just 1 username

easier to remember

login with this

[broken python]

I tried to do something like that but the thing is, they kept rejecting both my creditcards and paypal, like instantly

so i had to go through hell to vpn it up

[obsidian patio]

probably should've just made a new account to make it a proper EU one

[broken python]

too much time invested hahaha

[patent citrus]

yeah while you are still on free trial heh

[broken python]

already +6 days gametime

but it's cool, I have Complete edition now

[lunar stratus]

what is this why my spells changed?

[patent citrus]

that's your pvp skills

[desert cedar]

Pvp has different hotbar layout i think

[patent citrus]

pvp has their own sprint, their own limit break and have their own mechanic

they are seperated from pve

[lunar stratus]

so i have to learn game from beginning??? im already bad at pve

[lucid narwhal]

hi, whats the point of the field notes?

[patent citrus]

classes also play differently

[boreal storm]

No

[desert cedar]

Yo does anyone have a hotbar layout for machinist that makes the rotation simpler

[nocturne wyvern]

Lore and achievements.

[tulip gale]

Anyone else having issues after I log in my game freezes after a while

[obsidian patio]

you get a 2-seater mount for obtaining all 50 notes

[nocturne wyvern]

Getting all of them gets a mount

[obsidian patio]

also spare field notes can be exchanged for lockboxes for more loot

[boreal storm]

Skill layout goes back to normal once you leave PvP areas

Note that these may not work for you exactly as shown --- hotbar setups are largely based on personal preference. You may find it useful to look at what abilities are easy to reach --- often it is best to put commonly-used abilities on easy-to-reach keys.

[tulip gale]

Is there a monk bars one?

[shy kayak]

hey guys, what dungeons are included in the lvl 50 roulette, all i seem to get is snowcloak and keeper of the lake

[modest mantle]

is there an lfg channel?

[obsidian patio]

Datacenter channels are the closest equivalent

[nocturne wyvern]

Any 50 dungeons you’ve got unlocked.

[obsidian patio]

most people just use the in-game party finder for LFG

[patent citrus]

type !faq mnkhotbar i already bloated the whole channel 😂

at #kupo-bot-spam

[tulip gale]

Thanks yeah I tried some stuff over there but couldn’t work it out haha

[solemn jewel]

Or use kupo channel :)

[patent citrus]

it's all personal preference, hah

[solemn jewel]

Im late wah

[patent citrus]

if they don't suit you then you need to make it yourself

[slate arrow]

it's your hotbar

It's your game

[cursive ridge]

is there an easy indicator of whether or not you're in combat i'm missing

[patent citrus]

no enemy list usually

[slate arrow]

Your engaged enemy list

[tall raven]

whats the losing access all about in the other channel

[patent citrus]

It's called enemylist in your hudlayout

if there's nothing listed there, means you are out of their reach

or for striking dummy, can just right click and reset enmity list

[leaden ginkgo]

looking for a deep dungeon list of aetherpool gear hardcaps, if thats still a thing
google only gave me outdated posts and a wiki that mentioned there are caps and that gear get scaled down but not where they cap

[slate arrow]

There's only Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High

Both have 99/99 caps on weapon/gear

[leaden ginkgo]

ye, i know the absolute caps, but it has lower caps like 30/30 for level 50 or something like that

[slate arrow]

it syncs down but it's not an absolute cap

Just a higher % chance to not gain a level when you open a silver chest

It's still possible to get 99/99

I got 99/99 from grinding 51-60 for leveling

[leaden ginkgo]

mh ok, i thought it just fizzle when i try to open a silver and reached a cap, thats why i asked

[dusty jungle]

how on earth do people manage to catch odin ?

[patent citrus]

it only appears in tension weather

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks!

[dusty jungle]

yea sure

but weather isnt even shared between maps right?

and even so the span is just massive

[patent citrus]

so when you see tension weather, you need to scout him

[solemn jewel]

u can ask the weather service in the cities iirc?

[dusty jungle]

and he has roughly four billion spawn points

[umbral dune]

even when you are synced, a silver can still raise aetherpool level, just very low chance not to mention trap

[patent citrus]

i can't really give advice since I'm not an experienced scouter >.>

[slate arrow]

tension is unique in that it merely overrides the current weather

Its not something that shows up for prediction

[hot eagle]

only spawns in shroud and with flying it's not so bad anymore

[dusty jungle]

the 36-72h span really ruffles my feathers though

[patent citrus]

yeah it's definitely a collective effort

[umbral dune]

it got shorten due to maint

[patent citrus]

you need to work together with other scouter, tough to track alone

if someone already killed it when you are asleep, you are in for a bad time

[dusty jungle]

true

[nocturne wyvern]

@dusty jungle It was a little annoying since his fate doesn’t appear on the map and has to be located manually but flying makes it drastically easier now.

Having that Z axis movement is awesome.

[dusty jungle]

true true

[patent citrus]

and you can't solo him anyway 😂

even if you found it, you need to call out big groups to kill him

[dusty jungle]

Shout only works on a per map basis right?

[patent citrus]

you need to join EU hunt discord

[dusty jungle]

So obligatory ls/discord

[patent citrus]

and connect with other hunters

yeah... well it's easier that way

[dusty jungle]

ye i know. I'm just starting to feel a bit overwhelmed about it

[slate arrow]

It wouldn't be a WoW inspired MMO without some sort of weird things

fwiw it's significantly less obtuse in expansions though more frustrating

Like achievement fates hiding behind other fates with only a % chance of spawning

[nocturne wyvern]

Having a few hunt link shells makes life easier for sure. Makes it easier to spread the word and call in reinforcements.

[astral edge]

is it possible to transfer character/client settings across datacenters?

[slate arrow]

On PC

[astral edge]

yes

[slate arrow]

it is possible yes

[astral edge]

how do i do it

[slate arrow]

Reddit - ffxiv - How do I transfer character settings to another character? https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/9xid13/how_do_i_transfer_character_settings_to_another/

that will be 5 bucks thank you for using Indy search services

/s

[umbral dune]

default location of that folder should be Document>My games>FF14 and then the CHR one

[patent citrus]

anyone knows if lv 80 mobs suffer the lack of exp like lv 50 mobs?...

[umbral dune]

what that mean?

[patent citrus]

on top of their head... If I want to get my Companaion blossom weekly challenge without doing fates/hunt

[umbral dune]

10 level from your level

[patent citrus]

should I kill lv 79/80?

mobs

[gusty island]

for BRD procs -- is it the same whether i DoT two enemies with one dot each, or one enemy with both Dots?

[slate arrow]

it is

[umbral dune]

i mean, even 10 level below, my chocobo still gain like 90 exp

[slate arrow]

Because each DoT can trigger repoitaur by itself

I can't spell it

[patent citrus]

how do you know your expgain??

[timber cipher]

Hey, is there a guide to airships? Our airships are level 50 and 60 with all the lvl 1 parts installed. I found an excel sheet which shows a few setups, but we cannot build these yet. Is there an in depth guide with some beginner friendly builds to explore everything?

[umbral dune]

chat notice?

[patent citrus]

uhh maybe i forgot that I disabled it when I just started the game...

ok ty ty, I'll check it out

[gusty island]

nice.
i assume it would be better in a big pull to make sure every enemy has at least one dot then, rather than getting both onto one enemy before moving on to the next?@slate arrow

[slate arrow]

Companion exp =/= level exp

[slate arrow]

yeah

[umbral dune]

no it write my companion gain exp, not me

[obtuse marsh]

is there a trick to beat the back and fourth quest? seems impossible to solo it as a blm

[boreal storm]

Are you listening to the npcs

[vital ruin]

can you access all the skills in this layout?

[warm snow]

Companion exp is for their rank which caps at 20

[patent citrus]

huh how do you enable all of that

[vital ruin]

i have no clue

i saw it in #kupo-bot-spam for pld hotbars

[warm snow]

Why do you need your single target and aoe skills accessible at the same time?

[vital ruin]

no I don't have spot for 1 skill while having cross bar active

[patent citrus]

idk how that guy enables it tbh lol

what setting has that

[vital ruin]

well spot for 2

idk

[warm snow]

Also I'm betting the top hotbar is meant to be your l2+r2 hotbar for the ake of having one image

[patent citrus]

yeah

[vital ruin]

ohh

[patent citrus]

but how does he enable that thing

I thought it's suppose to be invisible

[warm snow]

@vital ruin find what works for you

[vital ruin]

alright

[umbral dune]

@patent citrus my companion is level 10 and ate thavnarian something

[patent citrus]

and the only way to track the cd is to put the skill on another hotbar

[patent citrus]

yeah, I do as well

[vital ruin]

guess ill have to mess around in the settings

[patent citrus]

I'm just doing the weekly chocobo exp challenge log

[vital ruin]

thavnarian onion

[obtuse marsh]

it has nothing to do with npc

What is the fastest way to level up DNC from 60 to 80 sans daily roulettes?

[vital ruin]

61-70 hoh
71-80 bozja

[patent citrus]

I asked this before

and I got the answer no afaik

idk how he does that 🙄

[vital ruin]

i c

[umbral dune]

wow that hotbar look like a mess

[patent citrus]

cause that's a crossbar

for gamepad

[misty blaze]

I want to buy some lvl60 crafters gear in Idyllshire but it needs blue scrips...which I dont know how to get when you earn only yellow ones? Or is there better/easier option for lvl60 CUL gear?

[broken python]

@slate arrow haha dunno if you care but I had ISP technicians come in and one guy toyed around a bit with the ethernet cable that goes to the main router port and he instantly said there was some connection loss, so changed it, hopefully that is enough of a fix, if not they'll lemme "borrow" a router for a week to test further, but overall I can see it being more a local physical/router connection issue than anything else

[obsidian patio]

buy the gear in Ishgard from the blue bag vendor near the aetheryte instead, you won't have to deal with the blue scrip tokens

[cursive ridge]

can you quickly get from the housing ward to the city?

[slate arrow]

Yaaaay at least that's going to be fixed

[misty blaze]

oh shit thanks! I swear to god, crafting in this game is so scuffed when it comes to leveling it and finding where and what gear to buy for it....at least for a newbie

[slate arrow]

Sadly I'm not an internet tech or I'd love to help you out more

[umbral dune]

blue is just exchange from yellow

[slate arrow]

Right click the main aetheryte

And use the housing district teleport

[cursive ridge]

there's no main aetheryte in the housing district

[umbral dune]

the city aetheryte

[upbeat shard]

Hey guys, im new to final fantasy. I really like it. But is there a way to fix the graphics of the grass and trees. It looks so bad

[umbral dune]

not the housing district

[upbeat shard]

like there is no antialiasing

[patent citrus]

do you know how to do this?

[cursive ridge]

that's not what i was asking about

[patent citrus]

It's not possible right?

just photoshop?

[umbral dune]

oh, no, tele

[obsidian patio]

yeah that's photoshop or something

[patent citrus]

ah ok ty ty

[cursive ridge]

isn't that cross hotbars for the controller

[patent citrus]

yeah

[slate arrow]

They pull the Nintendo approach to anti aliasing in which they do the bare minimum and nothing more to keep the load down

if you do want it on, use something like gshade or use the Nvidia control panel

[obsidian patio]

It'd look more like this having the WXHB bars turned on https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/879221512589152286/image0.png

though you can have the top bars (The WXHB) be separate UI elements of their own

[shut panther]

Even gshade can't really help with FFXIV's bad AA unfortunately

[obsidian patio]

the hotbars below the Crossbar and going through are just regular PC hotbars I've moved to those positions.

[cursive ridge]

you'll stop noticing it after a while

[shut panther]

Improve yes. Make actually good..? Not really

[patent citrus]

yeah I have that as well

just different position

basically to tell me the cooldown for L+R and R+L

[astral edge]

any tips for speeding up the process of walking back and forth and then running with a mount back and forth, before completing arr and getting flight?

[patent citrus]

for what quest?

[astral edge]

just all of arr

[boreal storm]

Teleport more?

[astral edge]

im trying to level an alt character on a different datacenter

[shut panther]

Use teleports and chocobos aggressively

[patent citrus]

yeah, teleport and use that waking sand envelope

[upbeat shard]

ok i put the grass setting to none.

[shut panther]

The Gil is meaningless in the long run

[astral edge]

and rn i barely have any attunement and no chocobo

[boreal storm]

Attune harder

[shut panther]

I mean the chocobo keeper people

[patent citrus]

you gotta experience that again I guess

since you want alt character

[astral edge]

i got 10k gil for tping from a friend but still need to walk to attune

[shut panther]

Not just your mount

[hard aurora]

honestly we dont have much answers lol

use the porters

attune harder

idk what else to tell you

[boreal storm]

Yes you have to walk places, we all experienced it

[patent citrus]

only till lv 20 MSQ

till you get a mount

[astral edge]

what speed are the porters?

[slate arrow]

base speed

But you can AFK

That's what I did at any rate

[modest drift]

ey guys!

[boreal storm]

And enemies can’t attack you on them

[modest drift]

i just noticed i can't have 2 deluxes garden in my house cuz its a small one

but can i put there middle and smalls gardens?

[slate arrow]

You can only put in one gardening plot in a small

Regardless of size

[modest drift]

oooooh

okay!

thanks!

[slate arrow]

There's garden furnishing which looks like gardens, which may be what you're looking for

[solar glade]

Is ACT not working for anyone else?

[midnight tinsel]

how is it seen if a blue mage joins a non blue ex trials group ?

[slate arrow]

We literally just had a maint wait sheesh

[modest drift]

no no, i literally want to seed it out :p

[solar glade]

Pardon me. I didn't know

[shut panther]

Add-ons always break with a patch

[leaden ginkgo]

how long ago did the maint end @slate arrow asking as i just woke up

[shut panther]

Whether it be act, dalamud or xivalexander

It was about an hour

[solar glade]

That makes sense. Thanks.
