Aka: the xp boost is useless

fickle meadow
#

sweet ok thank you

torpid falcon
#

you should join our ffxiv thread over there

spiral inlet
#

is there a system

#

in 24 man

#

that prevents tanks

#

from fighting aggro?

faint flare
#

Nope

slate arrow
#

usually though mechanics are focused per role

#

So that tank buster will usually always target the tank

#

Unless the tank is dead in which case it's a free for all

ripe hound
#

The “please don’t try this” way is to stack a tank buster with a tank fighting with you, and you use invuln

#

Con is for the next Tb you need to run really really fast

lunar nexus
#

so tank mechanics will go on the person with the first and second most aggro

jade quartz
#

Nah in 24mans this often is not the case

#

E.g. triple tank busters that target the three tank roles regardless of aggro

#

Many tank mechanics in fights are purely role-based rather than aggro-based

#

Though some are indeed aggro-based

slate arrow
#

And that's before we talk about double autos

cursive ridge
#

does the leveling roulette include 50/60/70?

lunar nexus
#

50/60/70 are max level dungeons so no

boreal storm
#

And those don’t give good exp

cursive ridge
#

that's why i was asking

#

the description doesn't mention that

boreal storm
#

But there’s a separate roulette

open ember
#

50/60/70 roulette are level cap dunegons

#

so therefore they do not show in leveling roulette

jade quartz
#

There are leveling dungeons and there are level cap dungeons

#

Two separate categories

boreal storm
#

Just like how raids & alliance raids are different categories

ripe hound
#

Also how does the Tank Buster in e12s work again?

steady lava
#

can i get ramuh spell (blu mage) after killing him with final sting?

ripe hound
#

Like if you get hit by the same thing twice, you die even if you invuln?

little swift
#

So you take more damage on the next hit if its the same debuff

#

It won't kill through invuln

ripe hound
little swift
#

You don't always have invuln up

ripe hound
#

Maybe it was just because we were doing it wrong

little swift
#

For gnb and pld they can only use it once

ripe hound
#

But my tanks both invulned then tank swaped

#

Which was weird

open ember
little swift
#

It reduces healer load over time by a small amount

ripe hound
#

I see

steady lava
little swift
#

If you split the invulns

open ember
#

no

ripe hound
#

I see

open ember
#

you have to kill it

#

with you alive

steady lava
#

i mean, i see the spell, i cast final sting, i one shot ramuh and suicide, can i get the spell?

little swift
#

What my group did was we both invulned first one, then I did second and he did 3rd

#

And we swapped on 2nd and 3rd

steady lava
#

he dies first

boreal storm
#

The enemy dies before you I believe, so it should (?) work

#

Wait isn’t ramuh spell only from EX?

ripe hound
#

Yeah I think my group now does LD first, HG 2nd, LD last

little swift
#

Yeah no reason to swap first one

ripe hound
#

kk

little swift
#

But if only 1 invuln is used

ripe hound
#

I always thought it went though invuln if you don’t swap

little swift
#

You have to swap

#

Because person who isn't invulning needs it

ripe hound
#

Cool

#

Also what do I need to know to tank e12s?

#

Mostly just how to do buster right?

little swift
#

Third tb should be skipped anyways now

ripe hound
#

We bad!

little swift
#

Theres no real tank mechs in p1

#

Just move boss south for statues

ripe hound
#

I see

little swift
#

Can choose to do it after the first maleficun+ obliterate

ripe hound
#

In p2 it’s... basic changes, double apoc gets hard, so is triple

little swift
#

Or after the second one

ripe hound
#

kk

little swift
#

Triple is easy

ripe hound
#

Triple is easy for tank?

little swift
#

Ye

#

If you're not the one baiting it's easy

ripe hound
little swift
#

And just have pld hallowed. And jut have them bait darkest

little swift
#

LOL my healer made that

ripe hound
#

Nice!

little swift
#

Ye the step 5 was a joke but it works

ripe hound
#

Yeah our static lead is AST

little swift
#

You guys might want to do black halo with invuln though

ripe hound
#

He’s kinda the person who knows things

#

So we just be like stack with him and everything will be fine

little swift
#

Because we had war (me) I did both black halos which freed up hallowed for triple

ripe hound
#

Yeah we did black halo with invuln

ripe hound
little swift
#

Watch xenos apoc video for some more help

#

Helped be read the apocs better

ripe hound
#

I think he said during Triple there is some special location that can let you dodge stuff with high ping

little swift
#

Its like 30 minutes long though

ripe hound
#

Oh my

leaden ginkgo
#

jade quartz

little swift
#

jade quartz

That can tell you what zone they’re in

Nice

Hello, everyone! I'm a F2P player, playing a lvl 60 NINJA. I'm looking for a way to find a static that's progressing all Alexandre (Savage) raids, and any hard HW content. Can someone point me to a discord or something, plz?

left whale
#

prolly make your own/find one of the FF14 recruitment reddit

spare bridge
#

For anyone that may know, is clearing 1 unreal get u enough points to get one of the mounts?

left whale
#

nop

#

maybe if u clear it say... 11 more times?

#

depends on your minigame rng

spare bridge
#

What's minimum clear is need?
Also thx

old pewter
#

for the frontline achievements where it says "guide any grand company . . ." do you have to like, be the leader of the party or smth, or just have to be participating?

spare bridge
#

Needed rather

left whale
#

for reference, the mount i want is 600 points
this week i got 50 points

so if i keep up the same pace, its like 12 weeks lol

bold grail
#

what point in stormblood can I buy the lvl 70 poetic gear?

jade quartz
spare bridge
#

OMG
Wow

old pewter
jade quartz
#

It counts what your actual GC is outside of frontlines

left whale
#

ikr, i could earn 10 mill in less than 12 weeks and outright buy the mount from a player

#

cough

old pewter
#

ah

spare bridge
#

Was not expecting that tbh

jade quartz
#

The achievements are a relic of the older version of frontlines where you actually queued and always got put in your real GC

#

But that became unbalanced so they made it just randomised teams

spare bridge
#

Been killing myself trying to get a unreal clear and now like wtf is the point?!

old pewter
#

yeah i'm just goin for field commander
a boy can dream can't he

steady lava
#

omg i cant learn the fkn ramuh spell with blu alone :c.c

left whale
#

you could earn way more than 50 points a week if rng allows it so hey, maybe it'll take 6 weeks

hardy scroll
#

What's the difference between summon eos and summon selene

umbral dune
#

nothing, cosmetic

hardy scroll
#

Lol

spare bridge
mellow snow
#

How would I join like a guild. Or group. Whatever it is.

left whale
#

u could shout in limsa
theres the community finder
FF recruitment

and the likes

old pewter
#

just wait around long enought

#

you'll get invites in no time

left whale
#

thats what happened to me

#

lol

dusty shard
#

is garlean steel joint a really rare drop ?

#

can't get a singe 1

jade quartz
#

Not really

#

They drop from all types of “magitek vanguard”

#

Should also be extremely cheap on the marketboard

dusty shard
#

free trial sadly

#

been killing these magitek vanguard for half an hour now, no drop

cursive ridge
#

for chocobo feeds, are grade 1 and 2 just strictly worse in every way than 3? is it even worth bothering with 1 and 2 or should you only go for them if you're trying to save money?

dusty shard
#

well if ur not raising the perfect chocobo and want to pad out some stat to win race, just use 1 or 2 i guess

cursive ridge
#

why would you not want to raise the perfect chocobo :]

leaden ginkgo
#

For the 1-200 solo POTD achievement, is it better to do 2 saves doing a floor set on each until I die and just play on one save, or should I just do one save and thats it

jade quartz
#

Grade 1 and 2 are straight up worse yeah

jade quartz
#

It used to be a lot harder to earn MGP so grade 3 was harder to obtain and you only saved it for when you were training your perfectly bred rank 9 chocobo

#

But now there’s not much reason not to just use grade 3 all the time

#

Since MGP is so farmable now

jade quartz
cursive ridge
#

i'm picking through my retainer inventory to free up some space, and my strategy is- if it costs less than 10gil a piece on the market board and it's not used in any recipes that would level my crafting jobs, just vendor it, you can always buy it if you really need it

#

is that a sound strategy?

#

and for more expensive items that i have no crafting use for, i list them for sale

jade quartz
cursive ridge
#

what does this thing do? is this a resurrect potion?

verbal rune
#

Btw, can I ask here how does exactly ff logs work?

tropic flame
#

you can only have one at a time

cursive ridge
#

what does that thing do then

tropic flame
#

this one is for resurrecting your squadron members

umbral dune
#

that so useless

tropic flame
#

not for real players

cursive ridge
#

for command missions?

tropic flame
#

yeah

empty fiber
#

If i want samurai, do i have to buy one of the expansions on steam?

umbral dune
#

yes

cursive ridge
#

i don't understand the point of them

empty fiber
cursive ridge
#

the command missions

empty fiber
#

NVM

tropic flame
#

i do it for the emotes

#

but its so boring

umbral dune
#

shadowbringer for now, endwalker if you can wait 3 months

tropic flame
#

so i do them when im super bored RosChill

cursive ridge
# empty fiber NVM

today, shadowbringers. if you ask that question in 3 months, endwalker

empty fiber
#

ok

umbral dune
cursive ridge
#

kinda like ghetto leveling roulette if you can't be bothered waiting for the queue

#

and fine with tolerating the dumb ai

umbral dune
#

if you level healer, it kind of really fast

#

the buff AI get is just superior in anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

Should I be speedrunning floors early on or taking my time to level? (POTD)

cursive ridge
#

early floors don't matter much, it doesn't start to get difficult until really high floors

#

practice kiting and practice being mindful of landmines and mimics

#

you'll need that skill on higher floors

leaden ginkgo
#

That doesnt answer my question

quick reef
#

Anyone know how to get about 1.2m exp pretty fast? I'm level 47 and can't do any main quest or job quest because I'm not lvl 50aPES_CryDrown

verbal rune
leaden ginkgo
#

1-200

verbal rune
#

Then the idea is to do as much ad you can to get as many pomrades possible

leaden ginkgo
#

I have lots of pomanders, I am currently at floor 33 at level 53, I want to know if I should be speeding through this set or slowly level

umbral dune
#

your level cap at 60

#

so level is not that much of important

verbal rune
#

The idea is to get em all, iirc

#

Well, all the fighting related ones

#

And yeah, by floor 51 you should be maxed out in lvl

umbral dune
#

by floor 41 already

queen fern
#

How do you unlock Palace of the Dead?

#

I'm Level 75 and I don't see the quest for it in the Carline Canopy.

tropic flame
#

you probably unlocked it then

My friend played free trial up to heavensward on steam version but recently had to switch over to a mac computer. How can he play FFXIV on mac without a steam Mac version?

lunar nexus
celest coral
#

Ok. For materia rewards. Which one? Heaven's eye, Savage aim, or Savage might?

tropic flame
#

low lvl materia dont really matter much now so it doesnt matter which one you pick tbh

latent swallow
#

Which starting classes have jobs that are least complicated to learn for newbies?

tropic flame
#

all of em are pretty simple to learn

umbral dune
#

tank

stuck ingot
#

you can play anything terribly, easily

#

and still pass content in the game

tropic flame
#

just pick which one appeals to you

#

if you enjoy it, it will ofc be easier to play than a job you dont enjoy

#

and you can switch jobs at lvl 20 msq

final badge
#

hello

tropic flame
#

so if you dont like it, you can unlock another base class

final badge
#

where can i find good guides for what gear priority my class have?

#

level 80 that is

stuck ingot
#

the failure point is not pressing your buttons
there is no other bar, as long as actively doing anything, will not fail

tropic flame
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
latent swallow
#

I have to grind the new base class I unlock, right?

tropic flame
#

try the resources channel

tropic flame
#

base classes start at lvl 1

#

expansion jobs start at 30 (HW), 50 (STB), 60 (SHB)

stuck ingot
#

it is truly difficult to fail at completing a dungeon

celest coral
#

haha

#

You'd be surprised

stuck ingot
#

yes.... it's the reason it is continually lowering standards

umbral dune
#

lower level dungeon, you dont even need tank, healer is the tank

celest coral
#

For first-timers, Aurum Vale can be a haze

stuck ingot
#

they already removed everything unique coincounter did man

umbral dune
#

that already level 47

stuck ingot
#

the locksmith only does 1 mechanic now

#

so what this means
don't be afraid to play a class
the game is catered towards your new player experience

nocturne herald
#

The burn dragon

umbral dune
#

dzamael dark hold can be more confuse though, especially first boss

nocturne herald
#

It's not confusing if people actually read tooltips

#

but that's kinda expecting a lot from xiv players

stuck ingot
#

or.. look at the map..

nocturne herald
#

tbh

stuck ingot
#

yeahm

#

the person to play the game is not an ideal mindset and too high of an expectation

tropic flame
#

kinda off topic from the channel now

spring dirge
#

Good logogram spells? I feel like the 40% damage buff is just amazing

stuck ingot
#

yeah that one

nocturne herald
#

The only thing difficult from AV since coincounter kinda dies super fast now is just people not eating fruits

#

for.. some reason

#

like they're there for a reason

dusty shard
#

free trial can't do venture right ?

stuck ingot
#

what type

#

though I don't think can do any no

#

retainer ventures, submarines, or

umbral dune
stuck ingot
#

mhm

#

you can do squadron ventures

umbral dune
#

mission

stuck ingot
#

it's the same concept man

jade quartz
#

Not really

#

Purpose of ventures is specific item rewards

#

Anyhow “ventures” means one thing

#

Retainer ventures

stuck ingot
#

you play it same, you build the traits to focus some sort of income and check it on a schedule
it's like saying the "mission table" is a unique interaction every time it's implemented

narrow jay
#

Also squadron missions don't cost ventures, so they're not related the same way.

#

You level yourself, you gear yourself to hit certain trait breakpoints, you focus on some sort of income and use it to keep progressing, but that's not called "player ventures".

#

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's a false equivalence, and it'll mostly serve to confuse people.

jade quartz
#

When people say ventures they mean ventures

#

When people wanna talk about squadron missions they say squadron missions

stuck ingot
#

is the person who asked the question even around anymore or did we scare them off this pedantic trash

jade quartz
#

Airship voyages are sometimes called airship ventures but never without the airship part

#

It’s not pedantic if it facilitates basic communication

#

Question was answered but bringing unrelated concepts in wasn’t necessary

celest coral
#

Is material level VII worth much?

patent citrus
#

Now, should be the same as selling to npc

stuck ingot
#

much is relative
it depends on what type and function, usage drives demand

celest coral
#

Oh

#

Ugh. Randomly chose the reward for the quest

#

I gotta be more choosy

patent citrus
#

Its useful only for pentamelding I think

#

The VII

latent swallow
#

Which jobs have complex rotations?

coarse leaf
#

gunbreaker, summoner?

stuck ingot
#

all of them
what is considered complex is easy to others, very subjective

jade quartz
#

By comparison to many other mmos, kinda all of them

#

But jobs I would say are on the less complex side include BLM, RDM, WHM, WAR, DRK

#

Though all of those also have the potential for higher complexity when it comes to endgame optimisation on a per-fight basis

untold willow
#

if i pre-order endwalker, would i get the exp earring now or when the expansion releases?

stuck ingot
#

now

untold willow
#

ty

honest lotus
#

besides the fantasia you get from after arr is there another that you get for free in any of the expansions or would I need to pay to change again later on

stuck ingot
#

pay, it's on sale right now

untold willow
#

opps same thing but yeah

honest lotus
#

oh snap

#

might buy just to buy but I still have my free one

Um so how do I get glamour prisms on free trial or I can only have 12

severe brook

Can someone please tell me how to trigger "Absent Friends > Of Steele and Flame" Skirmish in Bozja

umbral dune
green plover
#

Okay

rustic badge
#

Q: if I am level 30 and duty into a level 20 dungeon, I sync down to 20, does the exp scale as if I were playing as 30 in a 30 dungeon? Or am I getting piddly 20 exp towards my level 30?

green plover
#

Anything else ?

junior herald
#

If I want to use glamour to make a piece of gear look like something else are those items stuck together forever? Or can I take them apart and put that glamour item on another piece of gear? Basically I'm wondering if it's worth using glamour on my leveling gear or waiting until I have best-in-slot gear.

honest lotus
#

glamour plates

#

are your friend with glamours

junior herald
#

huh? I just know that glamour are the transmog system

umbral dune
honest lotus
#

It’s to hold pieces that you like the appearance of

#

people use that so they can constantly update gear but keep their glam

hardy scroll
#

is there a way to do expert deliveries faster bc i have a lot of gear i saved for this

rustic badge
#

I go to the inn, open the dresser, add the item I like the look of(using a prism). Then it lives forever in there to add to a template that u can toggle on over your real gear

halcyon oyster
#

Is the Moonfire Faire over? I still hear fireworks.

Oh, is there a different reason for the fireworks now then?

the rising, anniversary event

#

go to uldah

halcyon oyster
#

Dang, I think I missed the polar bear.

queen flame
#

How do I make a macro resurrection text? I don't want an obnoxious one, just need a simple "Raising X"

umbral dune
#

just dont cus either you swift cast then raise or cast the full 8 seconds

queen flame
#

is it not good to let the other healer know that you are ressing someone?

umbral dune
#

just wait 3-5 secs

#

if the other dont raise then you raise

#

most wait swiftcast to raise

leaden ginkgo

do i need to upgrade my gear while leveling in the diadem? it seems like my low level tools are still fine

#

or do i only do it when i get to lvl 60+ for those higher lvl mats

umbral dune
#

if you fail to gather too much, consider doing so

rocky reef
#

anyone on NA wanna help a pal out with e4s pepehmm

tropic flame
#

kinda late in NA rn,no?

vocal oriole
#

Hey guys is flight speed and running speed for mounts the same??? I know that flight would be better because it bypasses terrain but what I mean is if 2 mounts would go on a straight line one is flying and one is on the ground would they end up the finish line at the same time?

tropic flame
#

they're not the same

umbral dune
#

some say fight is double ground

tropic flame
#

flight will always be faster than ground

#

even if you have max speed unlocked

umbral dune
#

even with upgrade, ground is like 25% more

rocky reef
vocal oriole
#

got it thanks

rugged yacht
#

I see that FFXIV has a free trial option through steam as well, is there any downside to using the free trial through steam rather than a standalone client?

leaden ginkgo
#

no, both are the same

hot eagle
patent citrus
rocky reef
patent citrus
#

or bothered by the language barrier

#

in JP

rugged yacht
#

I wanted to make sure since I saw some people saying that there's issues with the steam version thinken and I doubt I'd lose my steam as I have over 200 games on it LUL

patent citrus
#

You don't have to lose it

#

FFXIV is just 1 game

#

you can just different launcher for FFXIV and other games with Steam

#

pros with Steam is region pricing, and if you have a lot of money on steam wallet

#

cons is they are rarely on sale

rugged yacht
#

I like having easy access (and easy play button) to my games through Steam and it makes it easier to just be able to go ahead and buy the game really quickly if this is an MMO I actually stick with c:

west idol
#

after i bought the game on steam, should i unistall the free trial and install the normal version? i can still play normally but idk if it changes anything

umbral dune
#

do you even redeem code?

west idol
#

yeah

#

i used the codes on mogstation

umbral dune
#

get rid of free trial just to remind you later that you have to pay sub to play now

rugged yacht
#

I'd personally uninstall and then reinstall cuz I'd like to not have free trial in the name anymore but that's more of a nitpick for me (if it doesn't change anything) and my download speed would make it like a 30 minute download lol

west idol
#

yeah this looks a bit funny

rugged yacht
#

Nvm, maybe I won't use the steam version of the free trial then thinken

uneven tendon
#

You already have an account?

rugged yacht
#

Nope

#

I just downloaded the free trial through steam, logged in with my square enix account like it asked and then shows me that screen and throws me back to login page once I press back

boreal storm
#

You sure you downloaded the demo

uneven tendon
#

Square enix account is different to a FF account

#

If you haven’t played the game before you need to create the account

rugged yacht
#

Yep, definitely the demo

vital ruin
#

okay so I've only access to vath thorax where do i get the gnath thorax? I've bloodsworn rank with the vath

boreal storm
#

You don’t

#

The gnath are jerks

leaden ginkgo
#

if you made a free trial account outside the steam launcher then you cant use steam

vital ruin
#

they look better tho

Ahh yea, it only says 'free trial', how would I go about making a steam specific one then since I'd want that for easy access

When you start up the client in steam it should have ‘I already possess a square enix account’ and ‘I do not possess a Square Enix account’
Click on the latter, then create a new account and use those details to log in going forward

just open the steam launcher and then i think it gives an option to create an account through it ?

I'm watching a few videos about FFXIV, someone in one of them said if I were have a free trial through the SE web store and then brought the game on steam instead, it'd then flag the SE web store account as a steam account and then be locked to steam from there onwards, is that true? or is it a bit more complicated than that?

agile laurel
#

They are wholly incompatible with one another

rugged yacht
#

I'll type exactly what this person said, "If you start on the non-steam trial you can convert to steam full game after which point, you're locked to steam"

patent citrus
#

Yeah, you can switch from SE -> Steam, but not the other way around

#

in the context of upgrading from free trial -> full version

#

once you buy from SE Store, you are also locked to SE Store forever

#

once you buy from Steam, you are locked to Steam forever

agile laurel
#

Well, unless you consider rebuying the game on the other medium an option and creating a new account with a different email

rugged yacht
#

Ahh ok then, I'll do that then if I decide to stick with FFXIV, I'm guessing converting is as easy as buying the game on steam and just logging in with my non-steam account when it shows this then? (hence converting it from SE free trial to steam full game)

cursive ridge
#

i believe you have to download a separate launcher for non-steam versions, and steam has its own version

#

they look the same but are incompatible

rugged yacht
#

I've realised that, both SE and Steam have the same launcher look afaik

boreal storm
#

You have to go through a mogstation process first

wind moth
#

It’s not just “enter my info, now I’m steam again”

rugged yacht
#

Ahh ok, well at least I know that I can convert SE free trial to Steam full game since if I stick with FFXIV, I'd definitely want it on steam

agile laurel
#

Downside of steam is you don't get the benefit of SE sales, which generally tend to be more frequent

patent citrus
#

Yeah, you can do that

#

don't need sales if you have $1k steam wallet 😂

cursive ridge
#

also steam prices for the game are cheaper in my region

#

same price for the subscription though as it's a direct conversion

patent citrus
#

yeah region pricing and steam wallet, those 2 are the benefits

It's just used by healers to tell their co-healer that they are res-ing that person

so their co-healers doesn't spend resources on that person anymore

Getting into discussion territory, but I've put hundreds of hours into my FC house, also put just as many into my private. I'd consider leaving the game if they booted me out, they wouldn't be able to offer enough compensation for me to consider it fair

At that point you should really report it to the support desk, especially if all the houses are empty or unused.

shut panther
slate arrow
#

If it's 'different' FCs with the same tag, it's after the new rules are in effect

fringe plaza
slate arrow
#

So they're using the FC to sell the house and circumvent the timer

#

That being said, they've never directly said no

#

Because it's fair game to sell FCs for gil

Is it stupid? Yes. Yes it is.

Really the only way to circumvent this is to give us instanced housing, but at the moment it's not possible due to how the housing districts are structured server side. I'm hoping Island Sanctuary at least fixes some of the issues, like allowing everyone access to cross breeding gardening

Don’t solo unless you’re maxed out on aetherpool

It's the same install location for both launchers.

warm token
#

Yeah... and I can't be in matched party starting at 1 either right

It's seems pretty impossible to do...

That’s why you max your Aetherpool

If your intent is to get necromancer you need to prepare

That being said, I don't know if the settings are shared. Standalone and Steam should save the game settings under My Games in your Documents, but I don't know if it's FFXIV - Steam or if it just uses the same file location

Step one is to grind aetherpool

Before you even think about soloing

As far as just leveling strategy the rest of my classes through POD. Should I going out max aether at 51-60. Then switch classes to level 1s and start at 51 for massive exp? What should I do for level 70 DPS classes?

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

solid fog
#

You sure? Isn't there a carnivale in kugane of some sorts

modest igloo
#

nope thats only for show in the job quests

vernal urchin
#

modest igloo
#

would be cool of them to add tho

vernal urchin
#

maybe next blu update they'll add that

solid fog
#

Then they should add centurio seals as well, cuz hw hunts are kinda outdated

modest igloo
#

well yeah theres SB hunts too

solid fog

rich gazelle

Ok thanks

Which is the strongest DPS to play?

FFXIV is extremely balanced for MMO standards, and their main differences come from other aspects like synergy, aesthetic, and playstyle. Play what you think looks cool or what feels fun to play first.

'I saw a rankings page and it shows otherwise/someone in Twitch chat /some random high parser disagrees!'

DPS performance differences via job design within roles are small enough to be completely insignificant for the overwhelming majority of players, and are very contextual:

  • In a vacuum, job differences within roles appear to only be around 0.5% to 2% apart, which only amounts to mid to low hundreds when we're doing like ~24,000 RDPS. The problem is that these vacuum scenario comparisons generally don't exist in practice.

  • Variables like encounter design (including ultimate phasing), kill time (down to a few seconds), strats and party composition/synergy can swing RDPS by a couple of thousand, or even reverse job trends.

  • Crit/direct hit RNG alone may swing +/- 1000 RDPS from the average. This number is usually smaller for Healers and Tanks, but still exists.

  • Even a small difference in skill/comfort, like dropping a couple of GCDs, a broken combo or two, slight misalignment of burst, and/or simply knowing a few more advanced mini-optimizations on one job vs another can amount to a few hundred RDPS difference or more.

You need to be playing multiple jobs at the same level of competence on a GCD-by-GCD level, in pre-planned party compositions, with predictable killtimes, comparable knowledge of niche optimizations and a high kill count for this to make any tangible difference. And even then, it’s still a relatively minor difference. Skill, personality, and job comfort come first.

The right questions to ask are what are the playstyles, strengths/weaknesses and synergies of each job pertaining to your specific situation.

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.

hot eagle

#

yeah I want to get to pentameld but I take if thats the case I need to pay someone to make the gear for me or level up the other crafter before I can attain penta status

#

bc the ones on the board only have 2 slots

patent citrus
#

yeah, that's how it works

#

It only appears 2 slots, but you can put 5 in it

cursive ridge
#

you can attach materia to slots that 'aren't there' but it will be a lower and lower chance the more you do it to a piece of gear

#

also some gear is manually prevented for that kind of thing

sleek needle
patent citrus
#

ok ty ty

acoustic field
#

i only have fun when i do good dps not about classes 😄 i only play top dps specs in wow always thats why i ask

patent citrus
#

then just play better

cursive ridge
#

you can do good dps with any job

patent citrus
#

doesn't matter cause different is small

#

you can't rely on the class performance anymore

acoustic field
#

play better is easy its mmorpg

#

okey then so its not like wow thanks guys

patent citrus
#

in wow, even if you suck and play a good class you'll do better than better player who play worse class

acoustic field
#

ye thats right

sleek needle
#

Here it depends more on how good you play the class than the class itself

cursive ridge
#

if you really want to nitpick, search for a job you like the flow of abilities more

#

the more comfortable you are with a job's abilities, the better dps you will do

acoustic field
#

like i dont know how its work thats why askin lets say i will play dungeon peoples taking some dps classes more and some less ?

patent storm
#

For sylphs daily quest to place carrots around the house, one spot is on the roof, do I need flying mount for that one?

cursive ridge
#

if people are taking specific jobs, they're usually looking for roles, not jobs

cursive ridge
#

like '1 ranged 1 magic 2 melee' or something like that

barren granite
#

hi, will the 30% exp earring remain w/ the boost after the EW release ?

acoustic field
#

ahh i see okey bro thanks

patent citrus
#

we don't have mythic plus, people just do dungeon for roulette usually

#

just for casual and story stuff

sleek needle
#

Or it's to match what they have in party already, for end game stuff you don't want duplicates

cursive ridge
#

@acoustic field the game rewards parties for bringing different jobs in a party by making the Limit Break accumulate faster

#

so it's almost never worth it to stack any job

#

plus you'll be missing out on some buffs

#

so yeah, all jobs are useful and good

acoustic field
#

so i should play different jobs thats the interesting part i see you can play all jobs with 1 class ye >

#

?

cursive ridge
#

yeah you can play everything with 1 character

acoustic field
#

thats so interesting and good lol

cursive ridge
#

and to switch between jobs you just equip a different weapon

#

and it instantly switches

acoustic field
#

😄

#

lol

cursive ridge
#

people usually save gear sets

#

can't switch in combat obviously

#

and in instanced content

acoustic field
#

yea lets see how its going there is noting left to do in wow everyone switching to ffxiv so i give a shot

modest igloo
#

I’m at 2k hours and still have new shit to do

acoustic field

Louisoix is Europe

patent citrus
#

You would play with higher ping though, assuming you are from NA

cursive ridge
#

europe has multiple datacenters (realmgroups)

acoustic field
#

how i can select that

patent citrus
#

Chaos

acoustic field
#

im in eu bro

patent citrus
#

oh right, yeah choose Chaos DC

cursive ridge
#

in the first main menu

#

there's a button DATA CENTER

acoustic field
#

ah yes i see it

#

is there any differents with servers ?

cursive ridge
#

not particularly

patent citrus
#

!faq serverpick

zinc orbitBOT

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
acoustic field
#

or when you find for dungeons etc all servers are same

patent citrus
#

yeah, you can play with anyone with the same data center

cursive ridge
#

queues are shared amongst the datacenter

#

you can also visit other servers on datacenter and buy stuff there even

acoustic field
#

lol nice

cursive ridge
#

have to get in a guild on your own world though

It's a side content

acoustic field

patent citrus
#

If you played FF7 before, It's like the enemy skill materia

acoustic field
#

i did like dragoon and black mage ;d

patent citrus
#

yeah both are available from the beginning

cursive ridge
#

you can do both easily

#

just focus on one first

#

and always prioritize the two quests in your top left side of the screen

acoustic field
#

ye im trying to find which one xD

copper aurora
#

Just checking but the fantasia from finishing ARR doesnt disappear ever right, like theres no rush to use it ?

cursive ridge
#

the one on the bottom before the one on the top

patent citrus
#

apparently using other shire ring doesn't work, so I had to resort to the Yeti ring, ty ty

copper aurora
#

ok phew

unborn fractal
#

If I'm an armorer or blacksmith, is it worthwhile to craft each and every item at least once or nah?

cursive ridge
#

if the mats are easily available don't see why not

#

but if you want to 'powerlevel', use levequests
