you should join our ffxiv thread over there
Nope
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
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

it's dependent on aggro not role usually unless it's very specific
so tank mechanics will go on the person with the first and second most aggro
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

And that's before we talk about double autos
does the leveling roulette include 50/60/70?
50/60/70 are max level dungeons so no
And those don’t give good exp
But there’s a separate roulette
50/60/70 roulette are level cap dunegons
so therefore they do not show in leveling roulette
There are leveling dungeons and there are level cap dungeons
Two separate categories
Just like how raids & alliance raids are different categories
Also how does the Tank Buster in e12s work again?
can i get ramuh spell (blu mage) after killing him with final sting?
Like if you get hit by the same thing twice, you die even if you invuln?
First in aggro gets slashing resist down second gets piercing
So you take more damage on the next hit if its the same debuff
It won't kill through invuln
I was wondering why people still tank swap if it don’t go though invuln
You don't always have invuln up
Maybe it was just because we were doing it wrong
For gnb and pld they can only use it once
you have to see the spell before you kill him
It reduces healer load over time by a small amount
I see
but, works if i die with it?
If you split the invulns
no
I see
i mean, i see the spell, i cast final sting, i one shot ramuh and suicide, can i get the spell?
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
he dies first
The enemy dies before you I believe, so it should (?) work
Wait isn’t ramuh spell only from EX?
Yeah, in this case you don’t need to swap on the first one right?
Yeah I think my group now does LD first, HG 2nd, LD last
Yeah no reason to swap first one
kk
But if only 1 invuln is used
I always thought it went though invuln if you don’t swap
Third tb should be skipped anyways now
I see
Can choose to do it after the first maleficun+ obliterate
In p2 it’s... basic changes, double apoc gets hard, so is triple
Or after the second one
kk
Triple is easy
Triple is easy for tank?
My triple strat is still this
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/859587844740481077/879819318962057326/image0.png
And just have pld hallowed. And jut have them bait darkest
LOL my healer made that
Nice!
Ye the step 5 was a joke but it works
Yeah our static lead is AST
You guys might want to do black halo with invuln though
He’s kinda the person who knows things
So we just be like stack with him and everything will be fine

Because we had war (me) I did both black halos which freed up hallowed for triple
Yeah we did black halo with invuln
But yeah, minor problem is, he’s in Indonesia playing on NA... so he kinda often needs more advanced positioning
I think he said during Triple there is some special location that can let you dodge stuff with high ping
Its like 30 minutes long though
Oh my

can anybody please help mee.... my friend invited me to a party but i was afk and couldnt join because I afkd. They asked me multiple times, and i feel so bad that i missed it and i cant message them directly cause im in free trial. ;A; I would appreciate any help so i can reach them.
There is literally nothing you can do except track them down in person
Use player search
/sea first <first name>
@ripe hound yes
That can tell you what zone they’re in
Nice
I appreciate the help. Thank you. ❤️
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?
prolly make your own/find one of the FF14 recruitment reddit
For anyone that may know, is clearing 1 unreal get u enough points to get one of the mounts?
What's minimum clear is need?
Also thx
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?
Needed rather
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
what point in stormblood can I buy the lvl 70 poetic gear?
Participating. Also it doesn’t actually matter what gc you get put in during the actual frontlines
OMG
Wow
yer a peach
that was my second question
It counts what your actual GC is outside of frontlines
ikr, i could earn 10 mill in less than 12 weeks and outright buy the mount from a player
cough
ah
Was not expecting that tbh
Right!
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
Been killing myself trying to get a unreal clear and now like wtf is the point?!
yeah i'm just goin for field commander
a boy can dream can't he
omg i cant learn the fkn ramuh spell with blu alone :c.c
you could earn way more than 50 points a week if rng allows it so hey, maybe it'll take 6 weeks
What's the difference between summon eos and summon selene
nothing, cosmetic
Lol
Yea but in the same time I could just make near the amount of gil to just BuY the damn thing, and with alot less stress
How would I join like a guild. Or group. Whatever it is.
Not really
They drop from all types of “magitek vanguard”
Should also be extremely cheap on the marketboard
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?
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
why would you not want to raise the perfect chocobo :]
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
Grade 1 and 2 are straight up worse yeah

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
I mean…that’s up to you I guess? Neither way is better, you’re still using up just as much time either way if you fail
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
Yep
what does this thing do? is this a resurrect potion?
Btw, can I ask here how does exactly ff logs work?
resurrect potions are in the form of pheonix feathers
you can only have one at a time
what does that thing do then
this one is for resurrecting your squadron members
that so useless
not for real players
for command missions?
yeah
If i want samurai, do i have to buy one of the expansions on steam?
yes
i don't understand the point of them
Which one
the command missions
NVM
shadowbringer for now, endwalker if you can wait 3 months
so i do them when im super bored 
today, shadowbringers. if you ask that question in 3 months, endwalker
ok
to level alt
kinda like ghetto leveling roulette if you can't be bothered waiting for the queue
and fine with tolerating the dumb ai
if you level healer, it kind of really fast
the buff AI get is just superior in anyway
Should I be speedrunning floors early on or taking my time to level? (POTD)
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
That doesnt answer my question
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 50
Depends, what are you doing, floor 51 to 200?
1-200
do dungeons of your level
Then the idea is to do as much ad you can to get as many pomrades possible
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
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
by floor 41 already
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.
you probably unlocked it then
I heard that they're removing belts in the next expansion. What's gonna happen to the current belts?
!quest the house that death built
Nojiro Marujiro has a glut of gossip he has been dying to share with someone.

can you only get glazenut from gardening ?
you register for potd in quarrymill
i'm f2p so no gardening for me
Best way to level mining and botanist 70 to 80?
Ishgard Restoration and just gathering stuff at your level.
you register for potd with this guy
where do I get casual attire coffer except mb?
firmament
I can turn in collectables for gatherers in the firmament?
you get it through kupo of fortune and praying you get the right seals
No. The Firmament has its own "Skybuilder" collectibles you can only make with materials you've gathered in the Diadem plus a few extra materials from your current level.
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?
Okay
SE's archaic licensing requires different licenses for Windows and Mac, so your best bet is contacting support
Ok. For materia rewards. Which one? Heaven's eye, Savage aim, or Savage might?
low lvl materia dont really matter much now so it doesnt matter which one you pick tbh
Which starting classes have jobs that are least complicated to learn for newbies?
all of em are pretty simple to learn
tank
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
hello
so if you dont like it, you can unlock another base class
the failure point is not pressing your buttons
there is no other bar, as long as actively doing anything, will not fail
!faq balance
I have to grind the new base class I unlock, right?
try the resources channel
yes
base classes start at lvl 1
expansion jobs start at 30 (HW), 50 (STB), 60 (SHB)
it is truly difficult to fail at completing a dungeon
yes.... it's the reason it is continually lowering standards
lower level dungeon, you dont even need tank, healer is the tank
For first-timers, Aurum Vale can be a haze
they already removed everything unique coincounter did man
that already level 47
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
dzamael dark hold can be more confuse though, especially first boss
It's not confusing if people actually read tooltips
but that's kinda expecting a lot from xiv players
or.. look at the map..
tbh
yeahm
the person to play the game is not an ideal mindset and too high of an expectation
kinda off topic from the channel now
Good logogram spells? I feel like the 40% damage buff is just amazing
yeah that one
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
free trial can't do venture right ?
you dont even have retainer to talk about that
mission
it's the same concept man
Not really
Purpose of ventures is specific item rewards
Anyhow “ventures” means one thing
Retainer ventures
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
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.
When people say ventures they mean ventures
When people wanna talk about squadron missions they say squadron missions
is the person who asked the question even around anymore or did we scare them off this pedantic trash

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
Is material level VII worth much?
Now, should be the same as selling to npc
much is relative
it depends on what type and function, usage drives demand
Which jobs have complex rotations?
gunbreaker, summoner?
all of them
what is considered complex is easy to others, very subjective
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
if i pre-order endwalker, would i get the exp earring now or when the expansion releases?
now
ty
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
pay, it's on sale right now
pay irl money, and rn they are on sale
opps same thing but yeah
Um so how do I get glamour prisms on free trial or I can only have 12
Can someone please tell me how to trigger "Absent Friends > Of Steele and Flame" Skirmish in Bozja
exchange seal in your grand company
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?
Anything else ?
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.
huh? I just know that glamour are the transmog system
create a plate, link your gearset with that plate
It’s to hold pieces that you like the appearance of
people use that so they can constantly update gear but keep their glam
is there a way to do expert deliveries faster bc i have a lot of gear i saved for this
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
Is the Moonfire Faire over? I still hear fireworks.
ended yesterday I think
To actually answer the question, once an armor is glamoured, you can revert the appearance with a Dispelling Prism. The piece you used as the appearance base isn't consumed, so you can reapply that look to another piece of gear if you want.
Oh, is there a different reason for the fireworks now then?
Dang, I think I missed the polar bear.
How do I make a macro resurrection text? I don't want an obnoxious one, just need a simple "Raising X"
just dont cus either you swift cast then raise or cast the full 8 seconds
is it not good to let the other healer know that you are ressing someone?
just wait 3-5 secs
if the other dont raise then you raise
most wait swiftcast to raise
whats the error that pops up?
full inventory?
it saying "Unable to commence synthesis. You are not a specialist."
no
soul of the crafter
oh
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
if you fail to gather too much, consider doing so
anyone on NA wanna help a pal out with e4s 
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?
they're not the same
some say fight is double ground
even with upgrade, ground is like 25% more
im australian time so the ones online atm are the ones who dont sleep, or fellow australians lol
got it thanks
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?
no, both are the same
if you are on steam you are forced to stay on steam and buy the game and all coming expansions also on steam and should you lose your steam account you also lose your ffxiv account
Only OZ that play during daytime play in NA

I wanted to make sure since I saw some people saying that there's issues with the steam version
and I doubt I'd lose my steam as I have over 200 games on it 
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
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:
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
do you even redeem code?
get rid of free trial just to remind you later that you have to pay sub to play now
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
yeah this looks a bit funny
Nvm, maybe I won't use the steam version of the free trial then 
You already have an account?
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
You sure you downloaded the demo
Square enix account is different to a FF account
If you haven’t played the game before you need to create the account
Yep, definitely the demo
okay so I've only access to vath thorax where do i get the gnath thorax? I've bloodsworn rank with the vath
if you made a free trial account outside the steam launcher then you cant use steam
they look better tho

soo how do I get?
Probably need allied
what's allied
Ahh, so I'll have to stick with standalone client then or create a complete new one through steam (since I didn't start the game yet but only have a square enix account)
You need all the other HW tribes maxed
Then you get a quest wrapping up everything
A square enix account (for example one you have from playing something like tomb raider and signing up) isn’t tied to FFXIV account
is it the same for sb? cos I've all sb maxed but I didn't see any quest
Stormblood one starts in Kugane
ooh thanks
ARR one starts at the adder HQ
I just happened to be there since my last tribe was sylphs
I used my square enix to sign into the standalone client (and mog station), would I just have to create a new account for the steam version somehow then?
If the account doesn’t say Free Trial(steam) then it won’t work for steam
I should also note I created this account on the final fantasy website
whats the best cul gear? the gear from white scrips or the gear off the MB?
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 ?
Should look like this
Oh, it shows this
i have unlocked and completed eden's gate 1-12 normal and unlocked savage 1-8, but not savage 9-12. how do i unlock savage 9-12?
hmmm did you buy the game on steam?
Nope, I used the download demo button which in this case is the free trial
But yes, you’re using steam
ultima weapon ultimate
thanks! Will need to see how hard it is to get
But I did uninstall the standalone client which I 'was' signed into, maybe it has some files leftover from when I uninstalled it making it remember I already signed in on a different client
it's the easiest one to get of the ultimates
Is the toad head dyeable?
is there anyone I can DM with some lore questions? (I dont wanna spoil here)
Yes iirc
why not ask in #archived-lore-spoilers
If I see questions that are further in the story I get spoiled @hot eagle
Beginner lounge has spoiler threads
Looking for a dragon sight macro so i don't have to manually select players. The ones i found online are years old or people argue over them
are glamours kind of end gamey?
Glamours is the entire game
/ac dragon sight <party list slot number>
/micon dragon sight
Thanks
to clarify, while UwU is subjectively one of the easier ultimates, it is still an ultimate. If you don't have experience in current-level Savage, and a consistent group to run it with, you'll be ripped apart more than likely
Hello, does anyone have experience with ffxivsquadron.com? I'm trying to see if I'm able to do the mission with training however its solved but doesn't show how I should train them.. does anyone still use this?
I've heard 2 weeks of solid prog with an existing group, 4 weeks with a new group but savage experience, then in the region of a couple months+ if fresh to raiding. Not sure how accurate that is, but it doesn't sound crazy
2 weeks is comedically optimistic
Upwards of a month for any group, I'd say
YMMV past that
Appreciate the clarity, ty
on elemental, is baldesion just something people dive into, like with cll/dalriada?
no
it's closer to the 48 man savage raid
if you aren't prepared everyone's gonna suffer
when i get my CUL to 30 i will be able to desynth all fish?
yes
hi guys, can someone explain to me when tribe quests reset? I did mine before the allowance reset yesterday but this morning I can't pick them up again
!daily
I thought reset was 10pm? :/
explains why...
is there different reset times for different things or everything resets in 7h?
Are the 2nd stage shadowbringers relics supposed to glow?
Heya, for GC expert delivery is there a way to see if an item is a part of another classes gearset so I don't accidentally hand them in?
!reset
6 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
11 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
2 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
2 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
17 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
11 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
4 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
82 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, 38 seconds
if i just want to do the bahamut coils for the story, is it possible to solo and if so, at which level?
aaah I see, the first timer I tracked was the grand company reset and it's different, thanks guys 🙂
Recollection > Augmented Law's Order > Blades
Those are the three models that glow, I believe i500, i515, i535
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?
Steam and SE store are two different licenses
They are wholly incompatible with one another
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"
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
Well, unless you consider rebuying the game on the other medium an option and creating a new account with a different email
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)
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
I've realised that, both SE and Steam have the same launcher look afaik
You have to go through a mogstation process first
can someone help me do final coils turn 1 it on Elemental server
It’s not just “enter my info, now I’m steam again”
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
Downside of steam is you don't get the benefit of SE sales, which generally tend to be more frequent
also steam prices for the game are cheaper in my region
same price for the subscription though as it's a direct conversion
yeah region pricing and steam wallet, those 2 are the benefits
I'm in UK so for me the game is £10 and Shadowbringers/Endwalker is £30
https://steamdb.info/app/1592500/
it's not cheaper by a lot but it is a little bit cheaper
Converted from Yen to GBP, I save £0.56 xD
hey so ive gotten to 2nd flame lieutenant on my grand company, why cant i promote higher?
Then teach that squad to not be garbage

did many people die?
spam macro
It's just used by healers to tell their co-healer that they are res-ing that person
current highest is captain rank for all 3 GC
so their co-healers doesn't spend resources on that person anymore
ah, it was a summoner
and if that person is being rezzed already
another healer can waste a rez on that person?
Yep
yeah, if 2 person using res on the same person you are wasting resources
damn, thought it would just not work and tell you invalid target
You can also end up with that chat spam if they put the chat line before the action and they hit the button multiple times, it sends the message but skips the action until the last press
the macro is like:
/p raising <t>
/ac resurrection <t>
(it should be action first, then message, but not everyone realises that)
Really, people shouldn't use them, they're unnecessary and a hindrance to everyone
But some folks like to
i see osha
raising <t> <se.1>
you <se.2>
are <se.3>
being <se.4>
raised!!! <se.5>
don't do this^ :kekw
and I guess it's got its uses
i just use a "casting trobadour <se.something>" whenever there's another dancer/machinist/bard in party
so its impossible to get to flame champion?
uhh what is the hotkey for wonderous tails? or where can I open it
Key items
it's in key items, you can set it to a hotbar if you want easy access to it
In your inventory
each GC rank need to unlock something and the dev have not found a good one attach to those higher than captain, so that champion rank will be in our dream for years to come
i trying to find all triple triad npc to duel, does some of them locked behind beast tribe reputation?
damn, its been 7 years tho 
since heavensward is part of free trial now, the range of gear might goes up to lvl 60, that probably the best possible reason to add another tier, but when is the problem
right now they are kind of stressed out due to both expansion and server congestion
no one told their game to be so good 🔫
yup, that's possible
You can adjust the transparency 0-100 in hud layout as well as just hidden/unhidden
oooo so you can do lv 50+ job quest as SAM/RDM even if you haven' finished ARR?
I never knew this, I thought they are unlocked behind HW since it's lv 50+
They do lead you into HW areas later
so that's where you would need to continue with the msq first
are some jobs race exclusive?
nope
yayy
trying out the demo and didnt want to be locked into a race and not play summoner
Everyone can be everything
ok ty ty
Nothing matters but starting class
At what point so I try buy a house? I really want one and being able to decor it and do stuff 😄
it's weird that 4 in the dragoon's main 1-2-3-4 combo deals less damage than 3
That’s funny, you think you’re getting a house
When you have 3m+ spare gill, you're on a server with an available plot and you have time to stare at a placard for hours praying it doesn't get sniped
Or 6.1 when new housing becomes available and you have a better chance but still not great
I have 3.2 mil total 😄
Its been my goal since I started. Try get a house
but furniture expenses
And it’s also other people’s goal
it's a good goal
Housing (Ultimate)
where can i trade in broad beans for exp? the collectable appraiser does not take them
no, just normal broad beans and broad beans HQ. i read in a guide that i can collect them as well, did not find a vendor takign them so far though
What level are you at?
????
What guide are you even looking at
i think when heavensward came out, its main purpose is to keep blood of the dragon, not to deal more damage
It's telling you to collectible spam
wich server do i choose for central usa
a faulty guide.... GREAT. okay thanks
Aether, Primal, or Crystal, since they're all in California. However, Aether is currently completely locked out of new characters, so your only choices are Primal and Crystal currently
yeah... just have to remember to use the life surge buff on the third instead of the last one
Crystal is a good choice because preferred worlds
that muscle memory was built back when you are level 26 so it very hard to change at 30 levels later
Is it impossible to learn 50+ DoL skills without first finishing the ARR story?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
So yes?
yep
Cheers.
They go into HW zones at 50
was not that mean no as to complete those quest you need to unlock HW and that already mean beat ARR and post ARR
If you're asking what I think you're asking, it's 'Yes' because the question was 'Is it impossible to learn them...'
Exactly.
impossible to learn as it job quest reward
Has square ever publicly stated why they don't just make abusing multiple FC/Chara to basically own entire housing instances against tos?
That's a remnant of how it used to work, you can't do that now
They couldn't kick people out after the fact because they allowed it and those people earned their gil and have put time and effort into their houses
Give them a warning and compensation
Some people were insane enough to decorate every single one of those houses, fwiw. I think it should be tackled on a case by case basis, if they do look at it again.
Unless you're saying that's what they said
Is it possible to see how many Aether Currents you need in an area?
ahhh thanks!
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
I think that's reasonable.
where can I buy lvl 1 all class gears? I want to try new job but it keep getting me naked X.X
But the entire housing instances all with one tag?
Bango zango limsa
At that point you should really report it to the support desk, especially if all the houses are empty or unused.
Is it actionable? I was under the impression it wasn't
If it's 'different' FCs with the same tag, it's after the new rules are in effect
thanks omw
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.

Yeah my question was basically "do they have a public position" and I guess the answer is no then
Because yeah it seems absurd that the answer to people who want housing is basically prayer botting or camping when these situations exist
Anyone an expert on palace of the dead?
Note: I have a house, it ain't personal for me.
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
What is the npc called that sells depleted old class stuff?
Calamity salvagee
Calamity Salvager for 50/70 gears
R.
Ah yes tnx alot!
60 is with centurio seals, 80 is grendolt

Maygi’s POTD 1-200 Handbook (Solo/Party) ~BIG ANNOUNCEMENT~ I am making my debut as a VTuber soon! Please check out my Twitter~ any support is much appreciated! https://twitter.com/MaybeMaygi/status/1427115916580503552 ~ EDIT ~ Looking for a Heaven-on-High guide? Here’s a link to it! ~ INTR...
I've read it. Was wondering about if I change my class.. does it reset my aeth?
your aetherpool is permanent between all runs
Which is useful, because you can use your second save to farm aetherpool
You also start at 60 no matter your class if you start floor 51
You start at level 60
Once you unlock floor 51
Thinking of doing a solo run
Beat floor 50, do the quest
You can permanently start runs from there
Don’t solo unless you’re maxed out on aetherpool
Having said that, if you're going for necromancer you need to start from 1
It's the same install location for both launchers.
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
I have steam version, sister has windows. She just uses a shortcut I made to ffxivboot64.exe in the steam folder, from what I can remember nothing is shared between them settings wise
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?
Bozja
Potd is 1-60
HoH is 61-70
Bozja 71-80
I have no idea what HoH or Bozja is lol
You can queue up to 100
!faq altlvlguide
Do I need both pure white dyes to be able to use them on a piece or do I just need 1?
Also you’d want to go past floor 60 anyway so you know how the later bosses work
one or the other*
One or the other
ty
The two options are just a) random drop non binding version and b) cash shop version
my friend was convinced you needed both to use on 1 piece
Phantom FLurry required tank swap?
In extreme, yes
I want the title soon baddd but I'm not good enough lol
Plus it seems to make me more lonely lol
that necromancer is extremely rare
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You only need one to apply the dye
And it's usually dirt cheap on the marketboard
this game isn't p2w, besides the exclusive cosmetics or former event items, everything is or has been available in game at some point in time. Usually.
Where do i find groups for BLU dungeon farming? Specifically for Raw Emotions?
It seems like no matter what though.. it's faster to take a maxed Aether through 51-60 palace of the dead for level 1s
Party finder
That's in game, i ment a discord server perhaps, there's almost nothing happening in PF
Not really then, you can always make a PF listing yourself.
Yeah, best i can get is maybe 1 party per day for 1 or 2 runs after hours of waiting, barely anyone joins 😦
then DR/Dal :p
Or just grind them normally by queuing on a real job
I tried, but that takes so long, even with wall to wall pulling... anyway i'll keep looking, thank you
It isa grind. Dalriada is probably better, honestly.
I did Dal/DR cause I needed to practice rotation on certain job
still better than spending time in front of dummy
I did it with DR to also get the artifacts.
i did it a lot with expert when 5.4 came out
what's like the most braindead job to play
WHM, WAR and DNC if you want less things to look at, IMO
Dancer and white mage are “simple”
aight thanks
been thinkin of changing server to EU which server do i chose
If you have no particular choice just choose any at random, it doesn't really matter.
the talky bits that don't change your camera are never voiced, right?
where can i find the toy chest for the event? i'm at the adventurers guild in ul'dah
go to the inn room
why doe it say" avoid using undersized party" in the blue mage log for the weekly duties ? are we gonna get 400 seals unsync or not ?
No you don't get them for unsynced
Coudnt it just say"Seals wont be obtained in undersized party" the hecks avoid lol
Correct, it will always transition to a scene when voices are going to be used, background music will change and it will filter out ambience, performance and other locale sounds
how i can ride this :c im new player
!faq mounts
'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.
You're story Locked
mostly asking since i sometimes mute the game fully, so I want to know when to unmute it should i get a voiceover
Sadly there's no indicator whether it will definitely be voiced, it can transition from zone to cutscene and still not be voiced. You can change the sound levels via a command though if you're in a scene with '/mastersound <value 0-100> if I recall correctly
i have a keybind for muting the game
is there a drk level 70 armor?
man pipin is too cool
Yes
what's it called?
You should get a coffer from the quest, it’s antiquated abyssal armour
Bale, IIRC
Do your job quests and you’ll find out
oo
chaos's 60
thanks!
what's eureka anemos?
I'm about to hit lv 20 on my first character, is there anywhere I can look at the different rewards from grand companies ?
or does it not really matter?
eureka, the area, is an old endgame area with special skills, raid, and challenges
its easily 100+ hours of content from before shadowbringers
@swift mica As far as I know they all give similiar rewards
Plus the only good gear you can get there is Crafter/Gatherer gear
why is there no weapons you can buy for allagan tomestones of poetics?
Always 2 NPCs
can every class unlock 2 job crystall at the beginning?
after you finished your lv 10 job quest and lv 15 MSQ
i was summoner then i saw i could get another healer class
nope
ohhhh that
only SMN works like that
ah ok
devs tried it outs turns out its hell to code
do i need to lvl white mage also to get more skills?
Old info is very irrelevant
where is this button in keyboard i tried "-" on the numpad it didnt work
It’s not set to anything?
If it was, it’d show [-]
yeah that means it's not bound
oh it was a minus
what is "cerberus mist" supposed to be
how can you rotate the char where you dont see the back?
World: Cerberus Housing district: Mist

ah, thanks
what's the best food for poor dragoon player
@modest igloo thanks!
Can you get centurio seals from a blue mage ?
unless you use your BLU to do level 60 or 70 hunts, not really no
You sure? Isn't there a carnivale in kugane of some sorts
nope thats only for show in the job quests
only in the story
would be cool of them to add tho
maybe next blu update they'll add that
Then they should add centurio seals as well, cuz hw hunts are kinda outdated
well yeah theres SB hunts too
do they still do sb trains?
i see a few on crystal every now and then
but i just did the weeklies for HW and SB and had enough for what i was doin
just ask
how to complete this quest?
Sure, first is this the website
https://advancedcombattracker.com/download.php
open journal, scroll down to the bottom, active the leves
At the bottom of your quest journal you should have the leve
Go to the location and activate it through the quest journal
the first one with like 2m downloads
any crafting mentors?
which moogle treasure event is the next one?
okay so, I see I can get 490 gear from the MB, but is scrip gear ultimately better?
490 pentamelded is BiS
Next one is in October iirc
pentameld version requires the crafted set though correct?
man, does anyone know how to get the number for customer support
bought the latest expansionpacks after not playing for like 5 years
and ofc i cant login
That’s what the scrip gear is for, its stepping stone to the crafted gear
for !fr, the augmented shire panktriast ring...
they don't have a schedule and are only at random times mostly in between patches when no other event stuff is planed and we don't know when the next is
Is it ok if I don't use panktriast?
do you know which one it is? so i can see which mounts will be there
I have shire for my BLU mage, wondering if I should use that instead
i did this week fr with the heavensward crafted yeti ring instead and got 81 with that and 2 dyes
Ok I'm finally finished with ShB msq and sidequests. I have lore questions surrounding eden quest. Should i ask here or spoilers channel?
ok, I'll try it with the judge first ty ty
Ye but I'm trying to go for culinarian as thats my only 80 crafting job
if you intend to pentameld stuff, then go with aesthete
best to go to #archived-lore-spoilers @rich gazelle
if you are casual crafter, just get the white scrips stuff
Ok thanks
is there any tier list or meta jobs for dps ?
!faq dpsmeta
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.
all dps jobs are valid for endgame content
oh just saw we have 1 in october but since its every time a new 1 we don't know the rewards yet
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
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
A guildie used one of the bracelets and the 2 dyes and got 80+ too
ok ty ty
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
then just play better
you can do good dps with any job
doesn't matter cause different is small
you can't rely on the class performance anymore
in wow, even if you suck and play a good class you'll do better than better player who play worse class
ye thats right
Here it depends more on how good you play the class than the class itself
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
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 ?
For sylphs daily quest to place carrots around the house, one spot is on the roof, do I need flying mount for that one?
if people are taking specific jobs, they're usually looking for roles, not jobs
No
like '1 ranged 1 magic 2 melee' or something like that
hi, will the 30% exp earring remain w/ the boost after the EW release ?
ahh i see okey bro thanks
we don't have mythic plus, people just do dungeon for roulette usually
just for casual and story stuff
Or it's to match what they have in party already, for end game stuff you don't want duplicates
Yes
@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
so i should play different jobs thats the interesting part i see you can play all jobs with 1 class ye >
?
yeah you can play everything with 1 character
thats so interesting and good lol
and to switch between jobs you just equip a different weapon
and it instantly switches
people usually save gear sets
can't switch in combat obviously
and in instanced content
yea lets see how its going there is noting left to do in wow everyone switching to ffxiv so i give a shot
I’m at 2k hours and still have new shit to do
😄
yeah there's an absurd amount of stuff to do due to the game being pretty old
yo where can i find my retainer
and it not invalidating old content much
800 and I’ve maxed 6 beast tribes
i only like to do dungeons raids noting else actually :d
any summoning bell, look for them in the market districts of main cities as an example
to hire one, look for a retainer vocate in those places too
That’s what they all say, then they see what they are missing
not me bro thats why wow finish for me i play all dungeons like 1000 time raids also then im done didnt do anything else 😄
does anyone know the /command for toggling performance?
for bgm its /bgm, for sound effects its /soundeffects
but /performance does nothing
is the fr rn just accessories?
Yep
well there's plenty of dungeons and raids in ffxiv too, plus everything is available in kind-of-a perma-timewalking mode
you just get leveled down to the 'correct' level of the dungeon when you queue up for it
whats is the point of enegy suohin when it share a CD with energy drain
my friend want me to start lou server but i couldnt see it
one is aoe other is single target. use aoe when there's 3+ enemies
i only have this ones
oh
Louisoix is Europe
You would play with higher ping though, assuming you are from NA
europe has multiple datacenters (realmgroups)
how i can select that
Chaos
im in eu bro
oh right, yeah choose Chaos DC
not particularly
!faq serverpick
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
or when you find for dungeons etc all servers are same
yeah, you can play with anyone with the same data center
queues are shared amongst the datacenter
you can also visit other servers on datacenter and buy stuff there even
lol nice
have to get in a guild on your own world though
Hello, asides creating a new character, or photoshop is there any way tips to preview my hrothgar with different fantasiad fur color
With the current armor he has on
Actually..might have to create a new char and preview someone wearing the pieces if no other choice T_T
How do you guys farm the 900 weekly tomestones of Revelation?
Hunt usually
sadly no way i know of 😦
That's the method I prefer
Yeah, It's a limited job
you can't queue duty finder with it
It's a side content
aaa interesting
If you played FF7 before, It's like the enemy skill materia
i did like dragoon and black mage ;d
yeah both are available from the beginning
you can do both easily
just focus on one first
and always prioritize the two quests in your top left side of the screen
ye im trying to find which one xD
Just checking but the fantasia from finishing ARR doesnt disappear ever right, like theres no rush to use it ?
the one on the bottom before the one on the top
apparently using other shire ring doesn't work, so I had to resort to the Yeti ring, ty ty
nope it's just an item
ok phew
If I'm an armorer or blacksmith, is it worthwhile to craft each and every item at least once or nah?
if the mats are easily available don't see why not
but if you want to 'powerlevel', use levequests
Only with trains though, right?
yeah
