huh, i have 0 idea how i dropped this weapon then
maybe i moved it into my inventory somewhere and just cant find it
Did you perhaps return it to your inventory
=)
:]
Also, right-clicking on an item will let you sort all the items in that pouch
which I find useful for when my armory chest is all jumbled and I'm looking for things
It'll put gear grouped by class then from highest level to lowest within that group
Can somebody help me I don't know where the registration code I'm looking for would be
You get it when you buy the game
i keep failing potd floor 50 any tips 3;

It's the test of "don't stand in bad stupid"
From avoidable aoes
i hate my life.. because i cant unlock hoh without beating floor 50
.<
and i always get idiotic team's
Just gotta bang your head against the wall
wym
Aka keep trying
Wtf is wrong with Louisoix's economy? I world traveled to Omega and mats to make crafter gear is 10x cheaper.
ah right
Shit happens
There might be more people trading in that particular mat
Prices sometimes drop instantly as there are no buyiers
and people keep undercutting each other.
Not only are the prices per piece cheaper, but everyone selling mats in Louisoix is selling at stacks of 50+ instead of singles and doubles like Omega
well its normal, you can get an app that shows you the market prices on your whole datacenter
so you can switch and buy the cheapest one
Really?
yeah i use it xD
What is it?
the ffxiv companion app
market plugin on the XIVLauncher
how restricted exactly am i in the demo version? is it vastly different from the normal version of the game
max 300k gill, can't use marketboard.
also no shoutouts I think
!faq freetrial
Basically no social features
@mellow heart ^ limitations are there
And you can't fuck with the server economy
kind of sadge, could use boost from trial players moni to the ecomony xD
no, not really
Bot farming would get waaay worse
i don't have the brainpower but that's how you get inflation buddy
not if they can only buy]
whats this? is it a temporary buff or some permanent perk?
Anyways, I'm not here to debate the merits of letting FT players buy off the marketboard.
i see it seems pretty restrictive but i only just started playing so i guess i will see haha
permanent until you change it
for the first one, do we have to confirm it?
does the anima quest series have another quest that takes as long as the tomestone part?
wdym
!faq anima
can you still not attend weddings from other worlds? I saw some posts from a few years back saying it was a technical issue and they were looking for a fix. Any updates?
All steps are basically poetic steps since you can use it for basically all
you still cant
dang
The only difference between digital collector's edition and the standard Endwalker is just the 3 items?
Yes
solo it
$20 for 3 items 😵💫
Unique mount, minion and glamour weapon
Considering a account mount itself is usually more than 20$ on mogstation...
this is terrible, the wiki made it seem less bad than it actually is
think the new mount costs like over 30$
it's sold separately?
On mogstation
The optional store
$20 for 3 items is a pretty good deal
are all NA data centers alive and active. Im currently on Aether but my friends are on crystal. I want to be on a really populated center, so is crystal just as active and populated as aether?
When considering prices on mogstation
Yes
Especially with the mass player influx
Do you get to allocate points in the relic weapon twice?
I just got regular Endwalker, already have too many mounts xD
AND ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE
is it still upgradeable to collector's
Can you still get the poloar bear mount ?
as in more populated?
No idea, you can upgrade shadowbringers and stormblood so probably it will
Oh just you fucking wait
Dam I thought it was like ran till September 9th
Endwalker launch will be a fucking tidal wave
if you want every variant of one anima weapon, then you need to do it over and over and over again?
I see
Yep
I bet there are a lot of people still waiting for Endwalker to come out before buying it.
that's not good
Ugh. 45 minute Q for the last Ivalice raid, Q pops, all 3 tanks bail. Kill me pls
relics are just msq roulette
will my stuff in retainers be lost if I server transfer?
No
ok perfect tyvm
do you happen to know if the 24 restriction applies after a tranfer?
to join a new fc
Don't believe so
how? if i cant do it with 4 people how am i meant to do it alone
By being better
Hey, i just see a video of a healer, and he's using skill on ally without untarget the boss, how can he do that ?
you get to control everything yourself
With enough aetherpool you can easily solo potd
nothing is up to randoms
1-100 solo with high aetherpool is pretty easy
so if you're good on your own but others aren't you should be able to solo
Well to a certain point
It's a concept called soft-targeting. I'm not sure how it's done on controller, but on PC you can assign the mouse wheel along with various Shift/Ctrl/Alt modifiers to allow you to cycle through things like the Party window
is potd really faster than dungeons in terms of exp
Only if dungeons ques are long
If you're doing a trial and you're tank, the other tank is always player 2 in party, right?
Wow that's huge, i'm playing on pc, i'll try look at that
By default yes
this is my aetherpool stuff
so idk if i can do 50 alone
that's my current settings
I have a question. Does the exp modifiers from food etc increase the exp you get from leveling in Potd?
No
It'll basically target the scrolled-to party member for your next spell/skill and then snap back to your actual target.
Mob kills only
how do i go in alone? it keeps putting me in a queue https://i.imgur.com/fUicNam.png
or do you need to solo it from floor 1
Fixed party
how ?
But in the video he put is mouse on the team list, i dont think it's this :/
You'll need a new file if you're already a matched party save slots
There's also macros you can use to function on mouseover
but ownt that reset me to floor 1
Yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mu9GkOGTks
Like second 17 here
FFlogs - https://www.fflogs.com/reports/NvFkrxDw4KP1nLQg/#fight=last&type=damage-done
Coulda been better but damage down and deaths. MP is also pretty spook in this fight but shouldn't be an issue when people get more gear and the boss dies faster.

Guys i got a problem... i tried to do a quest in kugane, went into a video scene and then my game just closed... i restarted it and could login with my char, went into server queue and then on loading screen i keep disconnecting over and over, i deleted local files, reinstalled the game, patched my graphic driver, reset my game data - nothing helped, i cant play for 2 days now - PLZ anyone got any idea how to solve this problem?
is your subscription current
16 days
The crash occurs after you select your character, yes?
is there a link to how i can make the collapsible hotbar?
something to do with macro

i select character, go into the server queue and then when it puts me in loading screen it just closes the game
It sounds like your character is in a corrupted state which, if not fixed by a reinstall (which you already did) is something only a GM could fix
So I recommend getting in touch with support
whats the fastest way for it cause i sent an email, no reply yet, i logged in with a new character now (sorry pretty new to game)
so yes other character works fine, only my main is the problem
If logging in with a new character works then that's just further evidence supporting my theory, sadly
this website has all the possible ways to contact them
But I'm afraid they are somewhat notorious for taking their time :/
ay, I bought the game during a sale on square enix's websitte, can I redeem the code on steam ?
no
No
only on mogstation
oh boy
k, thanks
yeah i used that page for it @glossy flare thanks, then i guess ill wait for an answer via email
after completing the story, is there some endgame stuff?
Yes. Raids exists
savage raids, extreme trials, relic grinds
is it main content?
Blue side quest
like in wow
yeah, gotta unlock them via 
the story doesn't unlock them
the eden raid series has a
in the Crystarium
!faq contentunlock
All unlocks
How many quests you can do a day between all the beast tribes
oh ok
Ventures are for retainers
Retainers can be sent out, and you need 1-2 Ventures each time.
You can do 12 quests total per day
That's what I said
oh woops, sorry, thought you were asking lol
And how do i get retainers and what do they do?
Can't on trial
Retainers are basically your bank and how you sell on market board primarily
The ventures allow you to send then out to get mats
oh alright
can you walk to Rhalgrs Reach before finishing the HW MSQ?
No
no
ok thanks
You have no reason to go there until you finish stormblood (outside of story reasons)
the fringes are physically inaccessible because of geography until a certain story point
if you are asking because you want the vendors there
those only appear after you beat the base stormblood msq
Can you dye mog shop items?
How do you know if you can
your best thing is just to google it and look on websites like gamerescape for a dye icon
!faq dyeicons
Is there any known downsides or security risks to using the Teamcraft app or logging into Universalis w/ discord?
those apps are secure but there is always more risk conferred by default of just linking your account to other stuff, especially third-party
but it's not actively dangerous no
The video recorder icon on players name title means what? Taking screenshots? Streaming?
Gpose I think?
can I somehow hide weapon on my character when the weapon is not drawn?
What’s gpose?
in-game screenshot feature


ah thanks, was easier than i thought
you can type in /gpose into the ingame chat and enter it to take a look
best gathering food is?
how can i auto attack on conjurer without binding to hot bar or right clicking
So technically yes, but in reality no?
like i want to tab target and for auto attack to start after 1 cast like dps
don't think there is any method to do so without right clicking or using the "skill".
But I dunno of any reason you'd want to auto as healer.
^
You automatically auto attack mobs you're attacking
that too
Provided you're in melee range and not casting
if you've attacked a mob it will auto when it can
i mean like after using any damage ability it should auto attack the mob
on white mage
but again this is like a literal non-factor since autos do like 6 damageo n healers on 80
how to restore GP quicker?
You're always casting so there's no time to auto attack
- that is not how autos work, they operate on a 3s tick where they attack each tick
- what vinyl siad
Not that your autos even DO anything
- as said earlier, they do jack shit anyway
yeh like 3 percent
Gotta get that 30 damage bonk
Use Cordials, Hi-Cordials are the best
6 damage versus like thousand of damage from a single glare
yeah so it's not really worth looking into atuos at all unless... you're a parse goblin
whats a cordial?
Blue is side content
@wanton ingot BLU is fringe content and you should not use that as a metric for how dead a data center is
It in itself isn't a big draw
Plus most people who are interested on blue are done already
^
so how come when im playing drg when i use any damage ablity on a mob it starts auto attacking
that being said it's tuesday morning/afternoon on NA so don't really expect people to be active rn
They already have the spells, mount and log clear
Cause yoy don't cast on dragoon
there really shouldn't be any metric used to gauge activity. and all dcs are extremely active
dragoons don't have cast times
You can't auto attack while casting
Which, you're always doing as a caster or healer
not to mention we're in a content lull waiting for a new expac so people aren't really doing all that much rn.
so if your always casting it doesnt matter
crystal's probably more active on the lower end of people who don't even know BLU exists since many of them are new
yes
Your autos don't even do any damage
they do 6
i mean that
literally never happens
but sure yeah you can right click on them if you end up in that one specific situation that never happens
You auto attack as long as you're in melee range and attacking the mob and NOT casting

yep
That's the rules of auto attack
oh so if your like silenced and cant use abilitys just right click to auto
read what vinyl said again please
in those rare situations
what is the most patchwerk boss so i can check NIN logs for rotation and cd usage?
That target
just hit a dummy
or use sky stone sea
if it's at 1HP or like 1% I'd just walk away and wait for the silence to go off tbh.
it's also not like a thing that ever happens above level 30 since silence is a very rare ability you can dodge anyway
oh thanks
I mean, check how top ninjas play through logs
oh sorry, i see what you mean
Just look at any savage fight of this tier
is there a healer that starts at same level as gnb
you can probably do e9s since that's basically full uptime
Nope
e10s as well
e11s is a good example if you want to see how ninja adjusts to downtime due to the fight having large amounts of weird uptime
sorry for the dumb question, but I dont understand what e9s and e10s are 😛
oh I see
same idea for 10, which is Litany
so you want to check out Umbra and Litany on FFLogs
then plug it into XIVAnalysis to get a detailed timeline
Check out any high ranking log, should be generally reliable
gotcha, thanks 😄
Cooldown usage is generally "just use on Cooldown and you're generally fine" any variants are for fight optimisation around downtime and stuff
playing tank for the first time yeah, tank stance on everything all good I have aggro
why is the boss still spinning and not targetting me
I'm not spinning
Cause they have skills that target other people
You can't stop it
That'd just what they do
what about moving a boss, why does it sometimes not wanna move
how do i spam run potd floor 51-60?
yeah every one of nin's skills is use off CD besides mudra for times
Cause of how the server handles movement
sometimes the boss will just target other people as well, depends
what fight is this
It's slightly slow on the uptake
anyone got experience with ACT plugins? FC member's seeing this and i've got no clue what this's about
so is it fine to move away from the boss so it follows you while others still hit it
If you need to move it
so I get two retainers,..I made one a Pugalist, since I am Monk. Not sure what to make the other,...it should be a job that I plan to level as an alt, correct? Due to level limit.
if you need to
it depends on the situation
most fights just want the boss square in the middle facing north
Xeno has a good section in his gunbreaker video about moving stuff while DPSing
Are white mages better than scholars at keeping the tank alive?
Moving mobs while DPSing is an art that you need to learn
is there another type of 'inventory' where I could store more expensive and unique items, I hate mixing them up with all the crap drop
They're all equal enough
So i dont need to be less agressive as a tank ig
No
Jobs don't change how you handle dungeons
Only the players relative skill level
Ait nice
all healers have identical levels of competency in all situations
when played averagely+
was I just bad or does ultima not stay on you when its invincible
You can't generate aggro on it via damage
oh
Cause it takes none
Aggro is generated by damage and healing
Ultima when invincible takes no damage
thus
Healing will take aggro
can't generate enmity if can't deal damage
provoke helped for like half a second
their fault but it doesn't matter anyway
Provoke is Top aggro + 1k aggro
1k aggro is easy to take over if the mob takes no damage
Healing is like 0.5 points of aggro per hp healed
Last I checked
I blinked and my aggro was gone
and enmity generation is about the damage you deal / x, or doesn't work this way
Damage aggro is basically 1 point per damage
Then multipled by any aggro modifiers
Tank stance is like a 10x multiplier
ah i see
Which is why aggro is piss easy to hold
Is there a free trial guide on spending gil? Like, im nearing the cap and I just want to blow my gil on things to stay away from the cap haha
is there a limitcap to Gil? 😮

TEMPted to fantasia in to a lala
is there any websites where they have images of all the ingame weapons?
For samurai, do we do STR and crit? Or is it STR and determination?
What is the secondary priority?
You can't meld STR though. But yes, a weapon with higher STR is better, the end
Phone screencap
Note that that doesn't mean pack a shitload of Sks into your gear, just that it's the first thing you want to meld until you get to the GCD you want.
i just realized DoH story quests suddenly gives a huge EXP boost after the ARR questlines....why is that? just curious
I thought critical hit was more important than skill speed?
you want skill speed to be in a specific tier
so your rotation lines up
Oh okay
If your rotation doesn't line up, crit is worthless
That's exactly why I said what I said.
cause you will drift out of raidbuff windows
You're not melding the most Sks
Without the right skill speed, you won't be able to use the filler loop properly and therefore not use Tsumbae on Cooldown
you're just melding enough of it, and you do that first
also make sure you select all languages in the duty finder
You can go do other stuff while waiting
oh my..15m XD
Could be worse 
Just make sure you have things you can be doing while you wait for a queue
Go do fates or take up crafting or gathering or both in the mean timr
Or just Netflix
farm in your gacha game of choice
You can turn on the duty pop sound to play when tabbed out in system configuration
Does anyone know if i pre-order Endwalker will i be able to play sb/sb now or do i need to wait untill Endwalkers release to do so?
Wait
Do the trial mounts in arr have a low drop rate?
Is ultimate specific bis still really important?
yes
ish, they are believe to be in the 20% drop rate, but no factual numbers on that. that said, the ponies drop pretty often tbh
because ultimates have a hard sync
so shouldnt take too long to get them all
Hello! Quick question: since they expanded the free trial to include all that it does now (cue the meme), does it also mean that they lifted the 20 floor restriction on PotD, or is it still restricted to the 20 first floors for free trial players?
you can do all of potd free now
Oh neat! Thanks! Have a good one! 🙂
Just use whatever has the highest item level, until you reach lvl 80
can you unsync a4s for gobwalker?
I can craft different accessory
Yes
which stats should I consider for tank
Fending accessories
I see
I thought they were low since I saw someone in one of my parties had a lot of attempts
Rng be rng

You can flip a coin 100 times and get all heads if you're that unlucky
fending?
Tanks use vitality for HP and Strength for Damage
Later on, they get their own role of gear which is called "of fending" for the vast majority
Except for Shire, which is "Custodian"
what about tenacity
shit
It's shit
At 4000 tenacity, fully focusing it. Its 8% mitigation
LITERALLY NOTHING
For the amount of defense you get from 1 point Vitality, you need like, 1000 tenacity.
Its shit.
str vitality and what else is good
Sks to a specific point > Crit > dh > det for melds
which male race do you think looks best?

will we ever be able to customise glamour plates that aren't limited to certain jobs?
Lala, I’m super biased
No because glamours follow regular equipment restrictions regardless
They could patch it out but they have their weird ass reasons
It’d be weird seeing a tank rocking healer gear
Is there going to be a datacenter merger? (I thought I heard this somewhere) Where all the Data centers can play with eachother - sadly have a bunch of wow refugee friends coming over but we are scattered
i mean you can already use ridiculous costumes bought from the store , don't see why it would be too outlandish
Data centre travel
Like world visit, but for data centres
At first it will be region locked
What's good Gathering food?
With plans to expand it
hopefully before 6.0
Coffee biscuits
Testing for it is between September and November
Vinyl - you are like my siri - thank you!
You need to be more specific
if a dark knight can wear this, why can't a tank dress up as a white mage 🤔 https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-gb/product/790
It also has to do the specific job designs. They don't want you using dragoon gear on a healer as awesome as that it would be.
I use alligator salad
!item alligator salad
whats the point in crafting when I can just buy the gear I can craft in the shop?
HQ gear is better
Significantly better
Normal quality vendor gear is hot fucking garbage and you're mega trolling for using it post 50
how better is the HQ gear?
Significantly
It actually HAS the stats for that ilvl
Au' Ra. Cause dragons.
Because it’s a low level ring?
Normal quality gear is like minus 30 ilvls
okay
!item Aesthete Ring of Crafting
Huh... TIL
Would the same apply to crafting battle gear??
None
251 (279 HQ)
282 (313 HQ)
194 (216 HQ)
136 (151 HQ)
※ Materia Slots: 1
※ Advanced Meldable: Yes
※ Required Level: 80
※ Repaired By: Goldsmith
※ Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
※ Dyable: No
※ Desynthesis: Yes
Oh wow. That's a good visual too because my GNB has a ring of fending... not that one but still.
You never use normal quality gear post 50
So, does the recommended gear button actually use the BiS gear from your armory chest or just pick something it thinks is good?
(dungeon/tome gear has no high quality, only referring to crafted suff)
It picks whatever had more main stat for your job
That's it
It doesn't look for substats
Oh good to know
If it has higher strength/vit for melee jobs, it will pick it
Regardless of anything
There's no real tactic when it comes to picking gear
Maybe some rare wacky exceptions especially early on
99% of the time the higher item level is better
They did try playing with auto attack rate and other stuff but that's back in ARR and literally doesn't apply after you can obtain ironworks
There's only one time there was an exception for BiS and that was for e5-e8s where some tanks BiS used the 485 relic headpiece because tenacity is just that shit
No
No! Damn smoge
so using recommended gear button is ok?
Ye
how do people not get bored of doing the same dungeons over and over?
By doing other dungeons
^ lol
And doing things other than dungeons
No but really, grinding is part of the game. Don't even get started at the Aurum Vale during Mog event as BLU >_>
But seriously, there's SO MUCH content I'm all fucking confused and don't even know where to diverge my attention that I only do certain daily/weekly things myself. Don't worry about it and enjoy it instead.
Let's say at level 50, I go to unlock DK and Machinist, How much more Exp could I earn, leveling DK when my main job is at 60, rather than doing it when I hit 50?
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
Does Adloquium’s Shield on Scholar Stack or should I use it once, then spam Physick until it’s gone?
hi guys. can you tell me which materia is best for machinist ?
when I hit lv70 with one class, do I lose the road to 70 buff?
Use ones then physick
Thanks
Oh, So, I just get 100% Exp boost up to 69? No matter what? So, I can just hit 50, and immediately work on leveling alts if I want some more variety?
No, it reappears when you're on a job level 69 or below
Or earlier. The armoury bonus is always active
Yeah, But, I'm eluding to leveling DK, Which requires hitting 50 to unlock
Crit > directhit = determination (both are about equal DPS wise)
Not just 50
You also need to do ALLLLLL ARR patch story
just so you know
Does anybody know what to do if the gathering icons on my minimap are not appearing? I have the "Prospect" skill on and I see the mineral deposit right in front of me, and I also have the "Display/hide map icons" turned on (i can see other icons) but it doesn't appear on my minimap. This is basically making it impossible to gather effectively. I have a screenshot if needed
I'm at the point after dealing with Garuda, How many hours of ARR should I have left to finish it then? I'm not even sure how I'd check that, if possible
Is it too late to do the fashion report?
You're about 1/3 of the way there
Once you do the level 50 quest with the two 8 man dungeons you'll be like, halfway finished with ARR
Uh...My god, That's a lot of content 
i've been playing for almost 2 months and i'm only half way through heavensward
Does anyone know if I still have time to do the fashion report?
Oh but, I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish ARR before hitting 60 if I'm already 49, being I'm on Free Trial and 60 is the cap, it'll be wasted exp if I tried
but i sort of feel burnt out now
Just lvl another job
No I believe it closes with the weekly reset
Nah the level 50 quests barely give any EXP
You'll be fine
dangit
I know, but, I wouldn't be able to progress main story if like, I hit 60, then go to an alt at level 40, and try to do the MSQ I left off on right? Or is it always scaled to your job level?
correct you'll need a second job at the MSQ quest level if you want to continue the MSQ
whats the difference between eos and selene?
Nothing
Also, When it comes to Accessories, How do I, "Upgrade" them, I guess? Get better ones, or like right now, I have a quest to choose one as a reward, they're higher level, but still at 0 stats.
Where do you fish in the Diadem?
Free trial or full game
full game
If full game, did you resubscribe
nop

you've already ran your 30 free play days buddy and you skipped the free trial
Is there somewhere I can view the final 2.55 Before the Dawn cutscenes online without some guy breathing/commenting or crunching snacks in his mouth during them?
The book in your inn room
@slate arrow Anywhere online that isnt in game I mean
Youtube
hey im sorry if this question is dumb, but if i just preorder endwalker where can I enter the code? or do i not enter it yet? if so how can i claim some of the bonuses
YouTube?
Where do you fish in the Diadem?
Only the preorder code
On mogstation
Just enter the SE store code you got which is your preorder code
In lakes if you don't have cloud fishing unlocked
thank you both
kind of a long question: when i played a healer in wow i had this addon that let me create key combinations for different spells and casted them when i clicked on party members icons, is there something like that in ffxiv?
spell combos you should do per hand
but i saw macros that allow you too instantly target a spezific player with a spell
I wouldn't recommend that
Combat Macro bad
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
so how do people heal usually? click on player then click on spell?
mouseover commands
F1-F8 lets you select a player by position on the party list, i believe
which still falls prey to the macro gcd
use the mousewheel options to let you scroll through a party list to soft target them
F1-F8 also let you select a specific person
use your keybinds
but yes you just get good at party targeting
ah yeah found it:
thats only for a ressurection macro
he had 1 macro symbol besides each player
and when you click that you cast ressurection on that player.
F.e. /ac "Resurrection" <2> (for number 2)
soft target?
yes
mousewheel scrolling lets you basically cast your next spell on the selected ally and snap back to targeting the foe you're attacking
without having to click them
interesting
btw player targeting is the main reason why i dont play healerXD
i enjoyed it but only ever did it using that hotkey addon and another one that made a small grid of party members
we'll see how this goes
F keys by default target allies
yep, and mousewheel scrolling is not active by default and has to be assigned in the Character Options menu
cant find anything online so im just gonna ask here. people who use a mmo mouse, do you use all 12 buttons or like 1-5 on keyboard and rest on mouse? stupid question perhaps but i have no idea how to use these correctly or in a good way
That's just going to come down to practice and what you're comfortable with.
I use 1-5 on the keyboard personally, and let the mouse handle the rest. I also use shift and ctrl combinations with numbers.
oh i see cool
Lots of players also bind things to the letter keys around WASD, and use the S/C/A keys in tandem with those as well
where do you purchase level 60 gathering gear?
are you on free trial?
im not
then it should be Hingashi(Kurugane)
you unlock it a bit later in the MSQ of stormblood
thanks
cool ty

how do i fix durability of an item
visit a mender
they have a small hammer symbol on the map
you can also repair them yourself but you unlock that with lvling crafting jobs
I just unlocked Stone, Sky, Sea. It looks like a helpful tool but is it actually helpful for improvement?
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
At what ST does the reward bonus from duty roulette get reset?
!daily
I hate The Lochs so much. Where I do ask for a taxi in case there's a kind soul out there?
I see, seems like it can be useful for getting muscle memory.
Thanks for that thogh!
Just use a normal dummy in the world
If you want to smack something for an extended period for muscle memory
Summerford farms has the most accessible dummies
Oh, that's probably just better! Thanks
And if you want to reset Cooldowns. Just enter a duty solo and leave
Good idea
Are there any friendly dummies that i can heal?
or should i just use myself
Just yourself
I'll check that out ty
which hoh floors are best for leveling?
can ppl who play free trial, just play on light server?
No
because im on chaos n my friend wanted to join ff14 but is automaticly on light
They can go anywhere
Go to the title screen and click data centre
Then select chaos and confirm it
kk ty
So uh how do I do the step in Where the Heart is (The Goblet)? I'm at Objective "Journey to the Goblet"
for anybody who was wondering on my question earlier, apparently this is a feature not a bug. it's only visible on minimap not regular map. not sure why though lol
what job should i assign my retainers?
Whatever your highest jobs are. They can never go higher level than you in it.
if i bought a potion that lets me race change ( first time) how do I use it?
You unequip ALL your gear. Then log out.
I tried it and it asks me to pick a ...house? guild?
YOu can change at the character select.
Use it > strip naked > log off > right click character and edit
Just press enter, you're picking a ward
nah but what job for the second and third retainers and stuff
up to you mate
whats ideal tho
There's no ideal
??
It's based on what you want or need
ok
Min/bot, 2 combat, whatever you want
Thanks boss. Appreciate ya!
DoL gives items respective to the DoL you chose while DoW/DoM give meat and other mob drops. Choose the class you’ll have at max at all times since the max retainer level is determined by your class’ level
can you send your marketplace retainer out on ventures too?
yes
So if you have Dancer maxed and plan to max it to 90 next expansion make them dancer
But in general choose based on the resources you want to farm
im in character select but I dont see where the option is
Or if you’re only doing quick ventures it doesn’t really matter
Use the potion, unequip gear, then log out
It’ll ask you if you want to change your appearance next time you try to log in
how much can the retainers net you profit wise?
as much as you can sell
thank you rhapsody
If you mean from ventures it’s heavily variable but usually a good amount at max level
so if i get my botanist to 80 and send both my retainers out on botany missions will i be earning a good bit?
Ventures for specific items are a fairly reliable source of money while quick ventures are less reliable but the items they bring back can be worth considerably more, such as valuable glamour items
what is the best way to get more shards? theyre pretty expensive on mb
shards for crafting btw
So it’s a pick your poison kind of thing. Retainers can also help supplement your crafting ingredients if you’re a crafter
Gathering is the fastest way I’m pretty sure but it’s still relatively slow
ishgardian restoration may also be a option too get shards
if you sue the big cannon on a elemental you get a big chunk of shards
does getting ananta to sworn rep not give 3 extra missions?
None of them do at sworn
Can u only read dialogue during the cutscenes to get the gist of the story? As in skipping all the msq quest dialogues outside of cutscenes
yeah rip, its like 1 with no skills and if i used skills only 3
I mean sort of? I still wouldn’t recommend it.
No, you skip alot of context
That’s a highly variable question given how long the MSQ is
You won’t know why said cutscene is happening 90% of the time
Skim
yeaaah
There are ways to get more at higher levels but yeah
A good chunk of nom cutscene stuff is context of why we're here and backstory about areas
yeah skim reading most of it
some are important
yea im just lvl 50 mining atm, it will probably be easier later but rn its a slog to gather them
gotcha thanks guys
It's worth it I promise
Does better gear increase fishing exp gains?
even arr?
and the expansions are related in story right?
thats why you cant skip ARR MSQ
Is there a good guide to Samurai? Just unlocked it..and this is a lot.
Even just a good image, like that Mudra guide for Ninja
Weskalber has levelling rotations for all jobs on YouTube
cool, thanks
Interesting, thanks again all!
You can def skip through the ARR msq and go through a synopsis later if you’re not feeling the particular subset storyline you’re at
You are just cycling through the 3 combos and spending stickers to put up your dot (1 sticker) and big hit (3 stickers)
does race matter for anything other than looks
no
nope
okay thank to all of you
Except starting class
Is this ability to spend stickers always the same ability? At 3 stickers it's a snowflake icon thingy
do lalafell get bullied in game like gnomes in wow
soz, logged out a few mins ago to eat while i learn, so not sure on names
that 1 ability has a different effect depending on the amount of stickers
1 sticker is dot, 2 is aoe hit, 3 is big single hit
Hey if I own the base game and Shadowbringers on PC do I have to rebuy both of them to play on console or just the base game?
not... really?
yeah that's what i meant, cool, thanks
Yes you do
there are jokes and memes abt lalas ofc but they don't get straight bullied like gnomes do
and a s a samurai you mainly focus on getting the correct abilities (applying dot and then spamming burst/aoe dpendining on situation)
Unless you're fine with not doing stormblood and shadowbringers content on console
Sure people make fun of lala, but we’re in on the joke so it’s cool
^
by NPCs they’re usually the aggressors lmao
it's just for laughs, not malicious
Ty
Every race as a meme sterotype
by players they’re called potatos and people like to punt the ankle biters
accept au ra
they are perfect
and you can't forget
mad because small
what floors of pod are best to farm for levelling?
51-60
51-60
thanks
because 50 is last checkpoint
should i accept the gil reward if it doesnt suit my class or should its better to keep it to break down or something?
Gil reward usually better
how do you guys deselect things like just left click or key bind?
esc
Or left click yeah
Yes
Yeah because if you have something selected it deselects them and doesn’t bring up the menu
Esc drops your target..Doing it multiple times stop auto attacks which is required for some mechanics
can i equip two augmented exarchic rings?
You can just sheathe your weapon to stop auto attacks as well
Yes they're not unique
alright thanks
what i still dont get is that when i use tab to target an enemy and use stone it doesn't initiate auto attack with the icon above the marker and i have to manually add it through key bind on hot bar
How do i join dungeons without level cap ?
what do you mean by auto attack? do you mean, perchance, auto-cast? like are you trying to get your character to automatically cast Stone on cooldown?
when do food buffs become relevant for fighting jobs? savage raids?(excpet the 3% xp buff)
If you don't meet the minimum item level get better gear
no i mean as in the melee auto attack. the one that everyone does
Only physical attack turn on auto attack
THANK YOU
Spells won't
yeah you don't have a melee auto attack as a caster
If you're on controller just pressing x on the target again will turn it on
You do
It's just really bad
Any weaponskills should start you auto attacking
but not on tab
Good point ty!
is it worth buying augmented ironworks gear for tomestones of poetics or should I just keep leveling with the gear I get from quests?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I play on controller
Poetics gear is the best gear until you hit x5 of the next expansion
so spells dont initiate the melee auto for spell casters gotcha
Are shiny gears just normal gears?
ahhhh ok
ah okay thank you
If it has a shine in the corner it means it’s HQ
i assume you mean HQ gear
they have better stats then the same non HQ version
For gear it’s better stats, for ingredients it helps make HQ crafts
I meant the weapons that are fully glowing. Saw some in the city
They’re crafted/relics
ohh these kinds are very rare weapons that take a EXTRAORDINARY amount of effort too get.
would need specifics on that - you either saw Ultimate weapons which are the pinnacle of content, or average crafted glowing weapons
oh right PotD also has some glowy weapons
Can just buy off market board
Others are relics which are time sinks
Ultra shiny ones are from Ultimates
Can you only make 6 deliveries per week, period? or is it 6 deliveries to each zone per week, so in practice you are doing way more than just 6
I don't see the quest called "Ghosts of Amdapor" to unlock Amdapor Keep dungeon, and i've beaten The Ultimate Weapon and The Aurum Vale dungeon. Is there anything else i need?
Ah ok. Just curious if they were purely cosmetic or actually super good. I'll check their gears next time
Relics are/were BiS
well the ultima weapons are also super good
For when they were current
is there a way to see how many hours you have played?
/ptime
/Playtime
Does critical hit chance also affect critical healing chance?
Yes
ah ty
Ah, so should I actually use critical hit materia on Scholar?
Gotcha
squadrons
Highest highest level dungeon
Tank queue > squadron ai
squadrons?
squadrons. its dungeons but with npcs
And really bad ai
isnt roulette more efficient?
than picking highest lv dung?
Only once a day
well youc an only do 1 roulette per day
Roulettes are once a day

They give jack shit afterwards
When does coop content become necessary for fast leveling? lv 30?
So my inventory looks like this and iam not sure what to do with these items.
15 pretty much
It's always better but you can't access any until you're level 15
sell them on the marketboard
cheap ones discard
Oh msq has already brought me to 20
leve quests also help with leveling?
Only crafting and gathering
should I go coop now?
They're fucking trash for combat
Yeah but what level is your current msq
Your own level means NOTHING. level of your msq is what matters
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
also when youa nre working on your ARR relics.
you can sidelvl a class by doing that
but not all the time
hey guys quick question, i just bought boost for astrologian( first time playing) and i notice there are some abilities like malefic, malefic IIetc.. do i have to keybind malefic if i have malefic 2 or do i just use the highest version of that skill
Oh I think it's 18 or 19? so keep doing msq till it runs out then coop?
Msq for first job
You got your first dungeon at level 15 but the msq is the best exp in the game
But you can only get the quest exp once
msq gives more then enough xp too lvl 1 job alone
It automatically upgrades
When applicable
thank you tails
You can just look at your traits to see what auto upgrades
as in only my first char gets msq exp?
!trait Malefic Mastery
Exanple
You shouldn't have an alt character
You can only complete msq and get the rewards once
like the job that does the msq gets the xp
but if you onyl play 1 job you never need too do something else then msq
it can be any job as long as they're up to level for msq but you can only get the exp from each quest once ever
@mild moth lots of people spread msq exp across 2 or more jobs since msq pays out a shit ton of exp
especially with road to 70
Ahh gotcha ok. Yeah lvling has been quick lol
highest possible trial also works for leveling?
Xp is never an kssue
No
Trials are shit xp
Lol no
lvling your second third etc job becomes more difficult
and is designed as a "endgame" activity too keep you playing
They’re called LEVELING DUNGEONS for a reason
Right, makes sense
Trials can be cheesed so hard that giving them good exp payouts is a terrible idea
ok so I just do 1 roulette a day and then just queue for highest dungeon possible
poetics?
Yes
Pretty much, but only main story, levelling and alliance give good exp
yes but my msq is 50
The others give mostly level cap currency
the x0 (50,60,70) dungeons also give bad xp i heard
ay i feel ya
