You don’t really need a mentor anyway so like...
or a nice person
haven't been into the game long enough and i have already encountered several mentor status player either trolling or griefing, let alone helping out and explaining lmao
Anyways if any of you needs help running dungeons etc let me know! Dm me and if your in primal I’m always happy to help you do things
Can't find it anywhere, Is anybody recruting newbie on Moogle? I mean in guild
!faq communityfinder try here
i disagree. i have lots of gaming experience and no problem with this game
for others it may be different
check recruitment channels in this discord
Then you…agree
have they ever talked about adding an extra gear slot for the eyes ?
yers i agree that I dont need a mentor
Nope
i disagree for all of the playerbase
i think it would be nice
You don’t need a mentor to run a dungeon
And people don’t usually want to be a personal on-call mentor for someone else
i never claimed either of these things
/afk

arhgh oops srry
hi all please someone can help me ? because service from square is really awful
whhats the drop rate of loathsome memories from critical engagements?
You can
anyone know?

cant find in at any server lol
so you jsut buy the sanguine scepter
hm ok i will check it
I think there’s already a biased opinion on mentors but as mentors we take an oath and we have to follow certain things if not we loose our status I don’t think many people know that

There ya go
well the bad part is that is mainly not enforced
Mhm! Absolutely
In practice this is not strongly enforced.
ya'll trolling right now, right..?
Also we just had someone post a dumb mentor freestylin on SAM
i'd like to move my game install to my ssd, can i move the folder itself or do it in any other way that wouldn't involve redownloading the entire game ? (standalone ver.)
I’m not trolling I know many mentors that get a lot of hate for having their crown on
I didnt play around year , and when i wanted to go back to game my pass was wrong... i sended for pass renew and they sended me your email is not conected to any square account... which is crazy so someone possibly steal my acc.. square doesnt care seems and i dont know what to do ... i have recepient on email from both buyings for PS 4 and steam
Getting gray parses
please help me with that to get acc back
Most of them take off their crown because they don’t want people having issues with them
As someone who has played for six years and is a mentor let me tell you
whenever i'm in an 8 man raid, my fellow tank has almost double my hp everytime. am i missing optional content to reach high amounts of hp or what is going on?
The mentor hate is well-founded and generally valid
Now a days people don’t really care for it
Get better gear
i am using the warrior class gear
But you can get a cool mount tho 😄
Get better gear
is it jewelry i should be after?
So at least there’s that
can more than one treasure chest spawn in the leve quest?
check the Ilvl on all your gear. lowest ilvl need replacement
Buy Ironworks
ironworks is best at lvl 50
Are you using the i90 gear?
yes
Because if you aren’t
available form the trader with a blue sack as a symbol
Ironworks gear can be bought from Rowena’s Representative in any major city
Or Auriana and Aelina in Revenant’s Toll
For Allagan Tomestones of Poetics which you should have plenty of
ok i guess
its a MASSIVE increase in stats
my gear is ilvl 90
Always go for weapon first
the ebst gear you can get pree Heavensward
40 item levels is a big jump in stats
Which job has good dps with fairly static skill rotation/combos?
Ironworks is i130
Paladin for tanks, dragoon for dps
Both is basically the same rotation every fight
All jobs do good dps. SAM DRG NIN MCH BLM have fairly static rotations
No
ironworks i got weapon, body armor and trousers
that was enough too bring my till lvl 60
That's only for turning it in
ok thanks
Do your job quests
Sounds like you need accessory upgrades badly as well
If your average ilvl is still that low
ive gotta ask - loathsome memory drop rates via critical engagements, how is it?
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Drop rng is calculated server side, no way to know what it is, short of hacking the servers
I mean buy ironworks accessories since your accessories are evidently super low
aight
Ultimately you’ll buy a full ironworks set
can multiple amber vilekin treasure chests spawn during a single run?
i meant charcter lvl 60 so i could get the enxt tier with poetics
i was considering doing like, 7 crystal tower alliances lol
i didnt needed too
Still gotta msq
was able too get trough HW with jsut these 3 pieces
Oh I see
Would you cap on poetics tho
If nothing else
yeah bought gear for second class
As a dps that is passable but as tank or healer you’re gonna wanna to upgrade out of ironworks earlier than 60
Some video I watched claimed that dragoon's ability puts them in animation lock, making them unable to dodge a lot of attacks. Does this make dragoon harder to play for newbies?
No
Not a major issue
Sounds like an outdated video
No
The vid was made about an year ago. I guess the issue got fixed since then?
yea but all dpses have some sort of drawback which can get you in trouble
A lot can change in a year
dragoons have a couple abilities with slightly higher animation lock.
it's nothing major that can't be quickly adjusted to tho
it's not something that can't be dealt with
I'm at 40, and I just ran into full space in my Armory Chest, should I sell, or I guess, salvage or whatever they call it in this game, my excess gear I don't want for Glamour?
Oh ok
it's an over-exaggeration to say that ani lock makes drg harder I'd say
it can be annoying sure but it's not hard to adapt to
there are gonna be times where on a first run of a boss or raid, you will be fucked by pressing an attack at the wrong time, but it's not something you won't be able to play around next time
storm captain unlock how?
it definitely can mess with you if you need to react fast
but so far havent encountered anything that needs such degree of attention / reaction speed to begin with
Nope it hasn’t been changed since then
Sounds like vid was just overstating the problem
Do squadrons
Jump has animation lock that keeps you in place for a fraction of a second
Again 😦
It’s not a major issue and doesn’t make the job significantly harder for a new player at all
Oh ok.
the most finicky thing about dragoon is probably the jump dodge
you will fly off arenas on accident a lot when you start playing with dragoon
i sure did lmao
i assume allagan tomestones of poetics are farmed via dungeons right?
but afterwards you can learn to use the jump dodge to be a gapcloser
Yes any level 50/60/70 content
Also, I noticed from a lot of guides that even tanks and healers seems to dps quite a bit. In comparison to typical dps class, how much dps does tanks put out?
70% or so
Plenty
you egt them trough dungeons during MSQ a lot
but i get them mainly trough duty roulettes
Everyone is a dps here
do SE sell discounted collector's edition upgrade often?
it may take a while till the next sale we jsut had one
but i cant answer your question
when was the last time they are discounted
I only remember last year
collector edition upgrade I mean
ooooh
10 days ago
Since that’s through mogstation, steam users can do that right
using ACT so far i seem to do more damage as tank than most dps players in my team because i learned my rotations and other people tend to not bother and just press 123, but when fights last long enough and people are all doing their job properly, a dps will do like 30-40% more damage than tank and healers, with that being said, the latter two roles can deal a lot of damage and should absolutely do so, especially the tank
wait I missed it? D:
the discount was Square enix store thats different from mogstation
or wait.. mhh maybe
What is a touch action and what is a synthesis action?
Also, how does tank work in boss fights? Ones where you have big, stationary boss? Are they less neccesary due to there being no small mobs to tank, or can you aggro boss as a tank?
Ah. What job is ACT?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/d6a90d964067d68742e87606f8aefa3f19ec1fb4 something like this
and you wipe very fast
no it's the dps overlay tracker
Oh
i use it to see how good i'm doing
but you can't speak about it in game for obvious reasons
What is the use of a squadron?
lvling up alt jobs i would say
Does it give good exp to your job?
Well you're doing dungeons with them
Arcanist is ACN, not ACT
i play warrior and dark knight
So yes
Active combat tracker
both can easily outdps dps characters if they're not playing optimal and you are
Yeah I was confused about tank's dps because when I was watching some guide, commentor kept on emphasizing how warriors and dark knight pump out damage so it sounded more like dps with some invulnerability than tanks.
All jobs are dps
Omg
well all jobs are DPS at some extent
Why did Noone tell me 
yeah you deal damage with all classes
Damage is the best form of mitigation
last year btw
Oh
touch actions increase quality (for hq results or higher collectability rating) and synth increases progress (towards finishing a craft). generally want to increase progress to where one skill will finish it, then max out quality (or at least try when leveling) then finish (will get extra xp even if dont get a hq)
All tanks also have their own Invuln skill and forms of mitigation
dps is just specialized in dealing with adds and most mechanics and deals a bit more damage than the other roles
how long does it take for items to arrive in the mail after purchasing something?
but healer can fuck shit up especially during trash mob fights
thank you
Usually within a day, single-character items are typically quicker than account ones
Single char usually within a few hours
lol me too lol
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
the big difference in dealing damage for tanks and healers is that healers have like, 1 single target damage ability and 1 aoe, so they just spam that over and over to great effect, tanks play more similarly to dps, they have rotations with many oGCD abilities (except warrior where it's just unga bunga fell cleave)
missed that revolver glamour 
high fives in disappointment
depends on if per character or account wide. usually it takes a couple min if its character locked, 5 min to 5 hours if account wide (depending on how overworked server is. cruze chaser mount had people waiting more than 12 hours on aether when left to its own devices)
dps classes have the most complex rotations and have to keep track of different buff windows, so doing optimal dps with them requires way more effort than tank or healer
which is to be expected because you don't have as big of a responsibility
is it recomended to get your full set of 130 poetic armor as you move into Heavansword?
or should I save poetics
are poetics not used after Heavnswrord?
You'll be capped on poetics way before getting to the next time you can spend them again
They're used at each old level cap
But they grow on fucking trees
I see,..ok,..lol. thanks
it's just the stats seem off to me for a MOnk,..myset has little speed skill
You don't care for stats
Until endgame
They don't do anything
Higher ilvl = more main stat = significantly more damage
I figure ok, the game knows what i need so I guess just get it
The only stat that does anything for you right now is strength.
Secondary stats like skill speed are irrelevant until level 80.
Is Aether datacenter completely closed from any more characters for the forseeqble future?
Yes
Oh. I chose my character after selecting aether. Is there a way I can change datacenter without redoing my entire character design?
Can I accept a relic quest to collect memories and then cancel quest to switch to a different relic and use the memories I already collected ?
I want to start farming for a job I don't have lv 80 yet
It asked if you wanted to save your character before getting to the screen to select world, did you do that?
Yeah
If so, it'll be saved in a slot
Ah, ok
Ya, can exit and go into character creator and it'll ask if you want to use an already saved one
Oh I see
how do i set a location to "favourite" cause when i click on it, it only says "save to history"?
yes you can even farm like 200 memories or more for other jobs they drop so long the quest is active and can cancel/discard the quest later when your other job can do it
It's an option if you click the aetheryte
Interact with the aetheryte in person
Can only have 3 favorite + 1 home (+1 free if you have companion app)
Companion app gives a fourth favourite, not a free
Free location comes from enabling 2FA (one-time password) on your account
Ah well, there ya go
Oh thanks nice
is there any counter of certain savage floor i've done?
I wonder if it has something to do with achievement
No...the books somewhat count if you never spend them at all
ok ty ty
It looks like each server has its own characteristics and focus on certain content. Which one is recommended for beginners?
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
where do you get this info? 🤔
Individual server choice really doesn’t matter
Probably old outdated and bias reddit post
relic weapon only needs tier 4 materia right?
Which relic weapon, which step
1-4 for arr
Yeah I got it fro. Some reddit post and couple other websites
If it’s Novus step then yeah 1–4
ahh alright thank you
And hella outdated
Can you meld Materia onto Skysteel Tools? Are they worth enhancing or should I just stick with the ilvl 500 tool I can get with White Scrips
Okay. What does prefered status do?
No but the tools are significantly better than scrip tools
Scrip tools are the weakest out of the tier
Double xp for all jobs under lv70
You'll vastly overlevel the story and can do 4 jobs as you do story
Is there end date for preferred status?
It lasts for 90days minimum or longer if server stays preferred
are dots ends-inclusive? like how many ticks are there in a 30s dot
10, with exceptions
i know that, i just mean whether 0 and 30 themselves count
Unless you're a God and hit it exactly on server ticks to get a additional one at 0s
30 always counts
dots usually fire off every 3 seconds (mch flamethrower is an exception)
No doesn’t work like that
Dots aren’t even on a server wide tick, it’s actor-specific
Anyway dots always tick on expiry
What volume setting is the one for other people crafting around you or is there no volume setting?
Well when I say server tick I include the actor tick
The inconsistency is whether they tick on application immediately
there's one for all sound effects by non-party PCs
just got kicked out of the game and now this is on the launcher (i started using xivLauncher a few days ago could that be the reason?)
the bottom 3 volume sliders on the audio page of the settings
i have Other PCs down to like 30 for the same reason
Found it, thanks
Basically if the dot does no upfront damage separate from the dot i think it usually has a tick on application
it'll also lower all their battle etc. effects but that's just kind of a good thing really
Flamethrower which unusually ticks once a second for 10 seconds, has 11 ticks total
Because it ticks on application
most dots don't.
is physeos gear dyeable
are either of these better to keep than the other?
thanks lyon
I take the top cause that's basically always active
yeah the bottom one requires your party to be set up a specific way and is a pain, also you might not have any use for gatherer scrip
fair enough, but i have 4 miqo and 4 au ra, so pretty much guaranteed to have bottom one active all the time too
https://www.akhmorning.com/resources/raiding-fundamentals/#introduction btw here's a great guide to weird FFXIV shenanigans that aren't conveyed fully ingame
if you do use scrip it's kind of better value since gil can be gotten in larger quantities a million ways elsewhere
that's my thoughts, so i just wanted to get a 2nd opinion
script should be better if you can make it work and yeah you can
my tank got mental increase chemistry so now i'm contemplating who to switch to tank when i change her to a caster
i have too many chemistries that depend on archer/rogue
rogue usually have the one where they gather a pack of 3 to make it work
i think you should get a % boost
rather than those Contemporary book which is just 3k seals each, too tiny to be waste like that
so, i just finished the summoner lvl 50 job quest. I got a summoner set and an evoker set, which seems to be worse. Do i just use it for glamour?
i'll change to better ones as i get them, i haven't seen a chem like that yet
i saw somewhere that i shouldnt put it in the armoire because i wont be able to dye it, is that true?
the dyeable version is a separate item
you can reflect a dye on something that is on a glamour plate
if it is dyeable
the armoire has unlimited space, but the glamour dresser has 400 slots only
reflecting a dye consumes the dye but doesn't actually dye the item
im the point that i make my arr relic to atma, i cant see my progress by doing the fates?
Is balmung server not possible to create a character in due to congestion, or is it just temporary issue that will go away soon?
it just makes it appear dyed
is there any mount to get early im 14lvl now
if you remove the item from the glamour plate, it will no longer be dyed
you can see the atmas you've collected in your inventory.
dont take that one actually, as it only work in squadron mission and 3 rogue mean absurd tactical number which only 1 weekly mission need that. I saw both archer/rogue giving 20-30% chemistry chance to all member and seem like only them provide that
that's your progress
earliest mounts are level 20 
okey thx bro
even if you get a mount at level 1, you can't use it until you complete the level 20 quest My Little Chocobo
Blackmage raid food?
So everyone just farms palace of the dead to lvl alt jobs?
!faq altlvlguide
Primarily dps
Do I need to glamour each time i change my armor?
@solar kindle Levelling DPS 1-60 without anyone to carry queue is best done through Palace of the Dead
@native belfry Yes
yes, and glamour dresser makes this more practical
It consumes prisms every time, correct?
Though I think linking a glamour plate to a gear set would work too
Question, about Recruit a friend, im obligated to use paysafecard to get that rewards or i just need to pay 30 days?
Zefir or Twilight Popoto Salad depending on your BiS build
it would normally, yes.
however, if you put a set in the dresser, it consumes 1 prism for each item, and you can apply it to a glamour plate, which will not take any additional prisms when applied to new armour that you equip
I see, glamour plate is like a dresser right? With a big mirror?
yep
Is there a difference between Paradigms Breach gear and Tomestone of Revelation gear? Or is it just how to get it?
Do I need to make a set there, or?
it's only found in squadron barracks or inns
Different substats, revelation can be upgraded to 530
Okay, also when I need to dye each time I apply glamour, right?

ah thank you
whatever set you use for glamour appearances, you can place it in the dresser. just make sure to repair the gear beforehand, since it won't go in unless it's 100% condition. i don't know every detail about dying glamours, so someone else can answer that
if you use your glamour dresser you can dye a piece inside of it
this will make it that color every time you apply said piece until you change it
same idea with glamour plates
hey guys what should I be spending my poetics on?
!faq poetics
Is Super Ether the best MP recovery item?
ooh
A piece as in transmog gear
Or regular gear that I use
transmog gear
if you put a piece of gear you want to transmog into the dresser, you dye it inside the dresser
A piece of gear in the dresser
for example if you put some shoes inside your dresser, then dye it blue inside the dresser
every time you apply said shoes onto whatever you're wearing, it will be blue
Do savage raids introduce new mechanics or for the most part is it just bosses hitting harder and having more HP?
Need a lvl 80 party for treasure map 😭
far more mechanics which are more complicated and challenging
Ooh fun ok ty
Is there a reason The Aery is not in the Command Missions for Squadrons?
Normal mode is a casual joke, savage is orders of magnitude more challenging
probably because they couldn't get AI to reliably handle the mechanics
if you want a particular set of flowers in your house, check this here: https://en.ff14housing.com/itemlist.php?h=13
...no, there are vases that you can put flowers in
really? i've never seen them then
Makes sense.
I'll just head into potd for a level or two then. Thanks.

but it has to be the right vase
How u want to draw cards asap as astrologian and then buff someone, then go back to dps and healing?
other than 490 gear what's the best use of Allegory tomestones?
you use it to augment exarchic gear up to 520 or you buy materials with excess ones to sell on the mb
wait a minute. Cash-shop only outfits cannot be Amoire-ed? D:
where can i get mad man's rod?
I cannot put eastern school, maid and eastern lady in Armoire
can you play optimum SMN at 285-341 ms ping?
Do I need a dlc for the samurai class?
I am doing prequests for Shadowbringers as a samurai, where should I get the gear? And which level should it be? Level 400 from the vendor in Kugane, right?
It has to be connected to the achievement to be armoired
you need to craft it or purchase it off the marketboard
crit > dh > det
oh oaky thank you!
no
skill speed is okay but the rest of your gear / melds on your armor should be the deciding factor
you can't really play "optimum" anything at that ping
but you can still play well enough
Is there a "perfect amount" for each one?
there is but it's based around BiS iirc
so if you aren't bis, just max out crit, dh, and put the rest in det to make it easy for yourself
depends on your BiS. The stats are easily changeable, only costs like 400 poetics to reroll them
macro but it is highly not recommend due to how impactful card can be, read the skill divination in your action and trait
so don't worry for now
your primary dps ability has space for one ability usage without losing time
you can math it out if you really wanted to but it's like
your dot has space for two
not a big deal until bis
Which Daily roulette is the best for tumbstones?
in an opening situation, you've got one card predrawn that you can use immediately, then draw your next, then sleeve draw your third
expert for revelation, 80 for allegory, msq for poetics
So I’m an Arcanist and spent a ton of time during satasha getting my ass best. Any advice on avoiding enmity hogging?
what is your intention? just to have the flowers in the pot, or to harvest them?
tell your tank to use their stance
A possible problem could be that I’m not sure tank had stance on
Poetics=tumbstones?
absolutely no reason you should be gaining enmity if the tank has stance up and is actively pressing buttons
there's 3 different kinds
tank should always have stance on.
yeah if the tank doesn't have stance up there's no much you can do about it
stance is literally a 10x enmity multiplier
Ah, I see, I see, what are Relevation and allegory used for?
if the tank doesn't listen, kick
80 stuff
I am 71, so I should not mind it for now, okay
Relevation is used to buy end-game gear on a weekly cap
Yeah, I haven't reached that yet
i couldnt find it on marketboard 😦
are you typing in the full name correctly
turn on partial search as well so you don't need to be 100% correct with the full title
Also- as I am doing Shadowbringers prequests atm, what is the best gear for me rn?
scaevan
sometimes there are dialogue options, like for example there were a few on the gladiator quest line
do the dialogue options matter? or will they always come up with the same end result?
Alright, I'll save up and buy the dlc
buy a vase (useable vases are listed on the gamer escape page shared earlier), place the vase in your house, then interact with the vase to place your flower in it.
The gear I can by in Kagane for relics, right? level 400?
harvested flowers can only be put in vases yeah
No dialogue choice matters
you cannot re-place them in flower pots
for poetics, yes
kk ty
oh i found it thank you ❤️
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Flowerpots this was linked to you earlier
look under vases
buying just the regular oasis/riviera/glade vase should be fine
several of them are sold by the basic housing merchants
ended up getting 10 vilekins from 100 leves
that's about average
it's 10% droprate?
rng so that look like badluck
i have extremely cursed bad luck with any game i play
anything rng is autoloss for me every time lmao
so yeah checks out
people were saying 20-30 vilekins for 100 leves
you dont have crafter to do the bidding?
no and don't plan to do crafting any time soon
Are there any group or linkshells running Ixion mount farm by any chance? I'm not sure if this is the correct channel to ask
i've heard the second fastest method excluding craft, is to reach lv80 then run unsynched dungeons, sell gear for GC seals and buy moonstones and trade in those for crystal sand
if i have a 4 seater mount can my friends who started playing this game ride the mount? like at level 1?
Long as they’re in party with you yes.
2k each times 5 for 2 treated sand, unless you rock like 50k per hour, that is quite tedious @hasty turtle
how can i use materia?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
thank you!
it's either that or wait 2 months with vilekins
!faq quest
the proof of mettles buff is permanent\ right?
yes
exclusive to StQ zones
How much poetics do I get from playing MSQ raid on a daily roulette?
600
100 for new player, 200 for completion, 300 for daily roulette
Thank you
might be 500 if you dont get any new players
impossibly low odds of that happening tho
how should allocate them as a dps player? just dump them all into valor?
Especially now.
or should i get some fortitutde
max out the dps ones, then do the defense ones and then the healing ones
(you get a title if you get all to 10)
i've been playing this game for years and i haven't figured out how sellers tax works
😔
i've been paying no tax on my sales for a while now
so WAR's Shake It Off is basically like Blackest Night but AoE for all players within 15 meters but gives 15% instead of 25% hp right?
as a bard, is there any specific loot from the hard mode dungeons i should be looking for ? i just unlocked them, unsure if i should be bothering with them long before moving on in the MSQ
i wanna take the quest for materia... but it says like that..
no
no loot matters aside from visuals
says right there what's required.
if you like how it looks then get it
Disciple of the Hand = crafting class
any one know how long the European support team take to get back to an email, its already been 4 days?
Yeah.
I'm farming rare nodes; do the nodes reset if I don't farm them?
whats the max level for grand company leves?
They always come back if that’s what you mean.
to reset a node you have to check two other nodes nearby.
that seems super fucking broken
oh ... that s f.up... anyone on shiva server can give put stones on item?
It’s not.
it's really not
if i give the item, someone can do it for me ?
hmmm like I need https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Oddly_Specific_Mineral_Sand
and its rare
so should I check
other nodes?
i guess because it matters more for you as the tank rather than other players
AoE shields like that have a long cooldown and aren’t up for every aoe.
only ephemeral nodes reset within the given time iirc, i don't think legendary does after you open and close it once
If shake had the same cooldown as blackest night then THAT would be broken. But it doesn’t.
is 45 the highest level for grand company leves?
but it makes the healer's job easier i would assume
these are normal level 80 nodes
Yeah for a single aoe.
well normal in terms of just trying to farm for the relic
how often does DRK even use blackest night on someone that isn't himself?
Depends on the boss.
very often if offtanking
Shake it Off is a good party cooldown to be used once every 90 seconds.
I was hacked and my account was suspended, i have the proof that it was accessed by someone other than me but i never got an email on the reason i was suspended. Does that mean my account is done?
TBN's power is in its short cooldown and flexibility.
you use it as soon as its available?
Contact customer support.
it seems more like something you save
no, you use it when it would be useful.
Contact support.
its been 4 days, no reply
ah i see what you mean now
and the european centre only replies to email
By email that’s normal.
If you mean meld materia, there's an npc to do it for you
They can take a long time to reply unfortunately.
whats the easiest way of getting grand company seals?
i want to put enchantment on weapon
alright, i shall keep at it then thanks.
at what point are you in the game?
i got up to 78
you should have unlocked the later ranks in your GC right?
Yeah it sucks. Timely responses is not something SE support is good at. Sorry man. 
There is no enchantment. There are stat gems called materia which you can affix to gear
but you should not worry about that until level 80.
Blue egg-shaped gem icon on map, not much worth doing before max lvl tho as you'll be swapping out your equips often before then
as long as you can turn in dungeon drops for seals, you should have a near infinite amount of them @cinder mortar
of seals i mean
ok thanks
i try to get relic
Honestly COVID also messed them up. Europe is not as prepared for at home customer support as were i live so the fact there is no phones was really shocking.
and for relic item its need a weapon with 2 materia called quicktongue III... i have materia and i have the weapon..
.
how do you turn in your dungeon drops for seals? It only gives one item on the provisioning list
that s one okay.
Yup
thanks a lot ❤️
second tab
you need to be second sergeant rank to be able to turn in dungeon drops
Is Black Mage hard to play?
if you can't do that, then when i was low level i did leveling roulette and spammed FATEs for GC seals @cinder mortar
i hear it has a low skill floor and high skill ceiling
so easy to get into but hard to master
I see
Hi, im trying to figure out how my hotbar layout should be if i plan to do endgame raids, im struggling quite a bit setting it up haha
Black mage at end game is a turret. To do well with it requires you to move as little as humanly possible to survive while continuing to cast.
I'm not intending to do end game, mostly just casual stuff
To truly optimize with it requires you to memorize nearly every fight so you know how much you have to move at each mechanic.
If you want to be more casual I’d just play rdm tbh.
What's the fastest way to level a different class? Cause i just my white mage and the others take forever 😅
Lot more forgiving.
RDM i hear is the easiest class in the game
!faq altlvlguide
one of the most fun classes too
oh, i just thought about doing regular numerals for my first bar, shift numerals on the 2nd bar and ctrl numerals for the 3rd bar, maybe that'll work
Short version: leves and hunting log to 15 then palace of the dead or dungeon spam depending on which will have faster queues.
Dancer is easier.
But not by much.
that's the long and short of it but you need to also optimize the keys close to WASD, i also have binds on QERTFG, middle mouse button, lateral mouse buttons, and each with a shift bind too
i only go up to number 4
one thing you should try to figure out is what ability your class is going to use the most
for instance both dragoon rotations start with true thrust
so true thrust is probably going to be the button you press the most
it should be bound somewhere comfortable and spammable
so i bound it on Q
and have the rest of the rotation on 123 and shift+123
and oGCD abilities on the other buttons
@violet moth
How do I get glamour prisms? Can I buy them on market?
I used every single one I had
you can acquire them most easily by exchnaging company seals
Gc seals is generally considered cheapest.
but also yes pretty cheap on the mb
is there any way to make the player names smaller? I saw that I can turn them off, or like abbreviate surname and stuff but cant find any option to just make the text font smaller
I see, I talk to an NPC near the guy who promotes you, right?
yeah the quartermaster
How do you unlock the ability to buy relic replicas?
He just says something, doesn't sell anything
Nvm
buy from market board, craft it, buy it from grand company for seals, other special means
Oh, my rank is not high enough
it's a long and painful process, google it

goldsmiths?
make things like jewelery and accessories
also RDM, AST and BLM weapons sometimes
magic boys
and ingots used by other crafters
yeah crafters all kinda work in unison
if you go crafter, you don't specialize in one job
you kinda have to do all of them
because something you want to craft on goldsmith will require something you craft with a leatherworker, and so on
anyone know of any modding discords?
whats the meme about the red chocobo?
it's a bozja thing
the red chocobo is a difficult fight
Other people make it difficult
wait so you actually fight a chocobo?
The fight itself isn't hard
red chocobos are not to be fucked with

Sell mats for money
alright
hey so i just got with paladin to level 30 and i hate the class alot so far, is it worth trying to level up a warrior aswell to 30+ and keep going with that or should i just stick to it until dark knight/gunblade
If you don't like it then swap
is there a ceiling to log in queue ?
will it take a long time to catch up? never leveled a second class
oh ok thanks, i will try right now
and check out that guide!
so another noob question, how do i get that hunting log/place of the dead? i am level 30 as i said and do have my mount so i think i should be far enough in the story
i am in a GC aswell but don't understand how to rank up there tbh
You already have your hunting log if you've been doing your class quests
Potd is unlocked in gridina
Rank up in the grand company by talking to the personal officer
ok will try! thanks alot again
I noticed there are replicas for each stage of relic creation. When do these become available? Drake sounds like he only sells zodiac zeta replicas…
Okay. So I finished the prerequisite quests but I can't the NPC on Quarrymill isn't triggering PotD
im aware its a dumb question, but what do people mean by bringing own macro on hades ex?
hey guys, i recently just beat ultimate weapon and hit level 50 on my first character. I've heard i should work towards ironworks gear. is that still the norm?
^
Image macros for the mechanics
ooh okay. thanks!
Guys I think I'm missing something (literally). So all the solo levelling guides for BLU I can find say to get 1000 needles and go to Mor Dhona and just kill mobs there... but I can't land a hit. Level 28 currently, I keep Mighty Guard up and Choco on healer. I don't understand how some say they go to Mor Dhona at level 20?!
Help?
Question, i made “Recruit a friend” with my friend(obviously 😂) but at the end it says that i have to pay with paysafecard. It only work with that or i can pay with my card too and still get the rewards?
is there any kind of list of the players in a zone?
Just sub
Only for eureka/bojza in player search
Ok 😂 i hope it work 😂
Which class does more damage paladin or warrior
Yes
the one you are better at
!faq meta
boils down to how good you play with them, warrior is piss easy, idk about paladin
doubt it's as simple as warrior
Advice for dungeons?
For what role
Dps
best to elaborate on your doubts
too generic of a question
hi. Whats the name ogf the shiny ball mount ?
Demi ozma
ozma
From Baldesion arsenal
ok. is it hard to acquire ?
It at the very end of eureka
And the raid is similar to delubrum savage
With the same Limited raise rule
whats name of raid ?
It's abit easier than delubrum savage due to elemental gear but still only really done in discords
.
kk ty 🙂
Does ffxiv charge real money for any fashion items or anything else
does everyone get it ? or is it a rare drop ?
where I play the jigsaw after finishing the event quest?
ok cool
Does ffxiv charge real money for any fashion items or anything else
There is a optional cash store
wow lots of items on sale.
all the mounts i like the most are from the shop
or from getting collector's edition
I've just started trying to play Astrologian. Is Repose useful at all?
can i buy subscription days without a credit card, like do i just need to add x amount to steam wallet?
Steam wallet is an option for steam users
ait so i can just add money to it, nice
Also, is it worth keeping Benefic I on the hotbar?
Otherwise not really
How can I see my Wondrous Tails progress?
is there a limited amount of character in grand company squad recruit ???
Key items

anyone got any idea why i can't see the visibility plugin settings from the other client?
thanks
any astrologian advice? I want to draw and use cards asap? as long as they are on the right person
Yes (generally), but you can only weave 1 ogcd with malefic
So you're often going malefic + draw > malefic + play
does anyone know why it won't let me drag some ninja skills to the hotbar even when I have them unlocked?
Which ones
the mudra skills
You can't hotbar ninjtsus cause you access them via mudras
I keep getting fatal directx errors every now and then
how would I see which ones are available to use if I can't hotbar?
You remember their combination
And press the according mudras in the correct combination
ok
That's one part of learning ninja
How long to orders usually take to process?
do ppl consider astrologian or scholar more difficult?
Astro is more busy, scholar is more planning and resource management
Yes
Higher apm cause you're constantly weaving cards
Ontop of the necessary healing off globals
is that a higher lvl thing? card is like every 15 or so seconds for me
It's when you factor all the other stuff ontop of.it like your healing off globals
Compared to scholar and white mage, astro weaves the most
and weaving is casting spells off the gcd right?
It's using off globals between gcds
yh so basically if you cast cure 1 you still have some time you have to wait before casting another spell, you can cast lucid dreaming before your able to cast your next cure etc
thats p.much what weaving is
Not a great example since WHM can’t weave without clipping
Having that weave window is specific to ast among the three healers
They changed that in like 5.05 or something
every healer's base heal got its cast reduced
bc... scholars totally ever cast physick
ever

Anybody here experienced major crashes when doing PotD. This is the third time. Wtf
I just bought the collectors edition endwalker preorder. Will the earring and minion arrive by mail?
Yes
how long does it usually take?
Up to 24 hours...depend on the backend servers
Thanks so much!
So the last Nier raid I had a message about only getting one item or something is it meaning from the last boss drop?
Because if it does I'll want to farm for the fending set
No
Its referring to the cracked cluster you're auto given
Nothing is weekly locked anymore
Ah cool so I can farm it until my heart's content yay
The minions and stuff are so cool
When the duty is current, the gear is weekly locked
Along with the coin
But the locks have been removed
That's a good thing I suppose the armour set is way better than what I've got on my paladin and I'll want the best I can get for November
The casual best is the revelation tome set and upgrade it to 530
Plus the relic weapon
Anyone know off the top of their head about the FSH lvl 68 mission? I know I was spearing icthyosaurs to make a special node appear, at which I could spear the questfish. Unfortunately I was only able to get 2 and I need one more. I went back to catching the icthyosaurs, but I'm not getting the progresss messages about a shadow forming
my friend just picked up the game and is trying to make a character on my data center but none of the worlds on Aether are accepting new characters, what should he do?
Aether is permanently locked until further notice
There's no way into aether
so in order to play together we have to play on a different DC?
correct
Yes
You can freely transfer to crystal for no cost
As crystal is marked as preferred
hey i start as lancer im 14 lvl but i wanna be black mage when its come how i can change to mage now or what i should do
but my endwalker static is on Aether
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey guys i just did garuda extreme ( i'm new), but i kept dying by something which i don't understand i was standing behind her it was like this wind slash but it keeps killing me but other people it didnt kill who were standing next to me can anyone actually explain what happend so i can learn?
Limit the gifs on here
So does FFLogs automatically get the data, or do oyu have to do something so it records?
oh wait it needs ACT
are there things similar to FFLogs that don't need ACT/work with Mac or would I just need to ask someone else in the party to upload the data for me?
Just did Crystal Tower, it's alot of stuff. Why do the names light up and darken. Is the big alliance thing even necessary it covers a large part of my screen
Knowing who fucked up on the other teams is nice info to have
Whats the gimmick with each tank and healer?
WHM = big phat heals
SCH = big phat shields
AST = a bit of both plus some buffs
PLD = ?
WAR = Not much mitigation, lots of regen
DRK = ?
GNB = ?
if im leveling through potd without a jobstone, should i stop at level 30 and repeat floors?
But what are they showing?
Their HP MP
pld has some party utility and a magic damage phase, drk is essentially war but edgier but with more damage and less sustain and gnb is THE blue dps
PLD: the classic mage tank
WAR: anger
DRK: edgy + two gauge management
GNB: two DPS in a trenchcoat
does darkside really require management
or just got hit by a tankbuster
your MP does because you want to save as much gauge as you can for your burst
i was thinking which one to pick. I think DRK has a pretty good storyline, what about the others?
but you also doesn't want to overcap
WAR and PLD have questionable job quests, gunbreaker is neat if you're invested into the lore
War 60-70 is hilarious though
wait, they do tell the lore through the jobquest right? Or do i have to read it somewhere else?
it's mainly through the quests yes
does gnb have good jobquests?
where can i give those in?
Those are meant to be aetherial reduction items
You don't turn those in, I think
how do i change my grand company? i assume i have to complete the MSQ quests from my old GC first?
You need 3.3 story done
oh jeez
You need to be second lieutenant
thanks
so somebody in my fc said i could queue any dungeon and would get full xp since my character would be synced down
not just highest lvl ones
me and my friend are doing palace of the dead hes a free trial player and hes getting a lot less xp than i am is that supposed to happen?
A lv20 dungeon gives lv20 xp
Potd is scaled to your level
And also benefits from the armoury bonus
this is true though it doesn't matter because the exp you get would be very poor in contrast to ur higher level
like u basically get nothing if ur doing anything at sub-50 at 60+
is there a way to have the game tell u when u login what ur retainers sold?
still i got 70k xp and he got around 1k
granted hes level 1
and im lvl 30
it's normal
no
you just have to check
rip but thats fine
Hi I have a question!
Is there a setting to hide the numbers next to the hotbars?
My bf is playing on ps5 and wants to transfer to steam. However, he has an old account linked to his steam that he doesn't want anymore. How could he transfer his new account to steam?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1953-Viuc5wBCXq7CoTg_9Yw2GtowCY66CiaCj4YI4nI/htmlview here you have a exp table for potd
What's that menu appearence?
it's a UI mod i installed called Material UI
chill
i think SE doesn't remove steam accounts so he may have to play through the SE launder and not steam
yeah or just make a new steam account
it doesn't really matter if he's on steam or not if you wants to explicitly play on PC
where do i get job equipment 60+ ?
do your job quests
at 60 you can buy augmeented shire gear for poetics
60+ you get it in Kugane and via doing story in stormblood
is it possible to download appearance data on ps4
may be a mouse thing
The thing is he has most of the steam dlc so he wants to play on steam
where can you buy that augmeented shire?
that doesn't matter since he would have to buy the DLC again for the new account
he cannot use the DLC he already bought for another old account, for the new account
Even if both accounts are on steam? Wow
yes its kinda sucky
it's to prevent code duping so you can't buy one license for multiple accounts
bcause it's basically just cheating if you can just link a bunch of ps5 accounts to steam just to get free steam copies on PC for all of them
So I just unlocked Squadrons, is there any reason to NOT just hire the first recruits I get offered? Surely I should just take them then get rid of some if better ones pop up later?
but where
you can always just replace them later yes

Two women on the right

you could still try logging into the ps account onto steam but im not sure it would work, gl tho
Does particular CEs in Bozja give more xp than others or is it all the same ?
One gears, the other weapons
Oh autowalk, i thought u meant like click one spot, and your character moves there...which isnt in XIV
so theres no crazy like hidden stat, where its like, oh you have x-type recruits you're next recruits will be y-type? I can just hire them and not get screwed later?
the stats you see are the stats you get
Also the skipping seems to be hardware issues, your ping SHOULD not affect how you perceive your character moving
the difference in recruits is mostly race / starting class for the purposes of team chemistries
the stats are otherwise identical if trained the same way if they are on the right class
more information here
thats fine, just wanted to make sure hiring whoever I got first was fine, and i wasnt gunna be penalised for not being super selective from the get go
ill do the rest of the research on them, it was just that opening bit of info I could get a clear answer on
nah
cant find a npc in illdy for gatherer gear 😦
the great thing about squads is that new recruits will always ahve the highest lvl of 1 of your already existing squad members
meaning once a squadmembers reaches lvl 50 all new recruits will also be lvl 50
were you asking for gatherer or combat
i was under the imression you were asking for combat
cool!
if you want 60 gear for gather go to the scrip exchange
when can i do the warrior quest?
any scrip exchange is fine
from marauder
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

need better gear to make those insane items to change for those scrips
