oh my.. i have quite a bit to go then
Ok, so for AST. Is diurnal what we're using over nocturnal until they redo shields?
yup
nocturnal unless you must, diurnal is objectively stronger otherwise
Hey I have the special niche of using Noct AST in lv 80 4 man dungeons!
whats the hotkey to show your quests on the right side
It requires the AST and Tank and DPS all playing perfectly, but in theory Noct AST can be good!

It mostly relay on the fact that Noct CI is super fucking strong, Noct CU is a mitigation with 1/3 uptime, and Noct Neutral gives regen GCD when you really really need it
I mean what’s the advantage of Diur anyway if you don’t use GCD healing?

There isn’t, they’re just there

mine ddisappearedd
Go into hud layout
Do you have any quests
The trinity avowed fight in DR, when you are MT and you get the double markers on you is that just a tank buster or an instakill? I’ve both lived at full health and died at full health from that move
Press j
yes i have a bunch
And find it there, and right click it
Buster
I might’ve had vuln stacks then
Good to know
minions are fully cosmetic?
hello, is there a way to "detect" which log belongs to which character in documents?
Hi guys, a friend of mine bought the books that levels you and clear all quests, but he can't find it in-game how to activate them ?
Yes
Right click the item when you receive it
It's mailed to you in time
So just wait
what do you mean in time
oh ic, good, I thought he did buy it for his other account by mistake
how come all the MSQ quests only give 4k exp now after the ultima weapon one at lvl 50
welcome to the pain, 80 quests of 4k exp xD, but believe me the end is so good story wise
will they give more later on?
When you get to.the expansion yes
Post quests are all like that
It's MANDATORY
I mean they are mandatory
The story is linear
the "post" expansion quests are to "fill/forward" the storyline and to bring the raids
You can’t go there without doing the story
so they meant to be for "max" level of that expansion
welcome to Post-Patch Purgatory
so their goal is not to give xp but to unlock stuff
You can't get to the expansions without doing the post patch quests
when they came out they gave 0 exp since they were at the level cap
do expansion quests give more exp
They don't want you to be massively overleveled for the expansions to come
So they give minute xp
All post patch quests give minimumal xp so you don't overlevel for the expansion
Heavensward start at 50
So they don't want you too overlevelled
back to my question, is there any way to "filter" these cods to find out which code belongs to which char?
i want to log my stuff but this is painful
Is there a website where I could preview outfit on my character?
Can I fine-tune UI elements position with something more precise than drag and drop with mouse?
like a place to enter their coordinates and/or a config file
aye guys, is there like a list with tasks that i need to do, to become a mentor? like in depth
Use numpad
thanks
Once you get to 80 you can talk to the smith guy and he has a list
smith guy? ^^
What is level sync am I supposed to click this button
The dude with the sprout above him
The gold shiny button on your quest list when you're in a fate
still dunno where he should be standing 😄
Where do i get Healer's Culottes? if i don't see them in the calamity salvager
WHM quests
Buy the expansion
Trial/starter edition is capped at 60
You need to buy the game and shadowbringers
already pre purchased the new expansion
Then you won't get the other expansions until November
That doesn’t work
so i just need to wait a month ?
2
!expansion
This many days
You don't get any of the benefits of that(old expansions) until you actually receive the item you preordered
Of course not, 2 and a half
oh damn aright thanks
Are there any optional dungeons in ARR that are go to do before HW?
Hey I’m new to the game ! Any tips I need to know? I’m a melee lalafell
!faq newplayertips
right
jesus that's alot of info, useful
I just talked with The Smith about the mentor crown, but I prefer my returner crown. Can I switch between them?
Nope
Gee. A pity.
does surecast stop ALL knockback effects or only most?
most
99% of them
but not all.
what type of knockbacks doesn't it stop?
There's some super knockbacks here and there
Mechanic ones
They're rare
some mechanics go through it just cause
If I use a fantasia potion, can I play around in the character creation screen and decide I don't want to change and then keep the potion?
Works on landslide
Yes
alright
Cool so I can use it, see what I would look like as X race, decide I don't like it, and then cancel and save my Fantasia right
It's only consumed when you confirm changes
so it's just a thing of casting surecast, getting knocked back anyway, then never surecasting that knockback again
Basically
Thats honestly a really considerate feature lol
anyone know the name of a chest armor that has an oriental looking coat with bandages across the chest area? or a place where I can view in game armor?
kind of looks like daidouji from senran kagura
When is the speculated release of the jobs action trailer?
18th
I think it’s announced to be this month 18th
Ok ty
fastest non-teleport way to get to idyllshire from ishgard is to go coerthas western near the machinist place and then fly to the dravanian hinterlands zone transition?
Full rework like monk or just some stuff here and there?
We don't know
Ok I see
i am pretty new to the game (Samurai), what materia i should go for when i hit 80? i just made a ilvl 530 weapon
All that we know is they paused egi glamour for ot
Glad for the work tho, maybe finally it will be more enjoyable for me
Ye I saw the dash
i feel like the ruin spam is the weakest part of SMN
yeah
the rest of it feels pretty good
Cause the filler phase is the weakest part of the rotation
They did imply they'd be using Reaper's stuff in some way or form, at any rate. That's all I'll be saying on the matter, you discussion loving people :p
Your damage is in the demis
can you go back and watch cutscenes?
Yes via the book in your inn
dreadwyrm trance at lvl 80 is also pretty annoying
i missed the first bit in shadows of the first
Well they said it's still a pet job and reaper isn't a pet job
ty ty
:p
Anyways everything's gonna be confirmed at the job action letter in two weeks
looking forward to it!
Tis the fun months of 14
how similiar to wow are these new expansions? Will one or two jobs play completely different?
will there be huge nerfs to stuff?
It will vary
We will find out
got it so it has happened before
The month before the first tier is always full of changes, some minor, some significant
It's literally how every expansion goes
But it doesn't matter as there's only extreme fights until the raids drop so !faq meta still applies
Well I think there never was an expansion where there isn’t a job that got reworked
Monk got the greased lightning rework
MCH in shadowbringers and stormblood are completely different
But bard basically stayed the samr
And Bowmage is fun and I liked it!
what materias am i going for as new noob lvl 80 samurai?
same XD
!faq balance
I want to summon stuff
Meld priority in here
can somebody give me a reason why some classes have rank-up versions of spells that only increase potency? do they exist because that's how devs balance stuff?
Sone DPS jobs will always be receiving a rework, and it's likely the healers will be getting a rework as well with the introduction of Sage. After that, I wouldn't expect much else.
That, and to give jobs new animations.
oh, good point
Because it wouldn't be a FF game without more elaborate spells per upgrade
And new skills without adding bloat
thanks for the answers guys, i need to keep grinding msq and get into shadowbringers what do I have like a month or 2 left?
The easy answer is just meld crit, the some direct hit.
The complicated answer is you need to learn the balance and learn which sks you want then adjust

ah ok thx
thats a nice command thanks
is it bad that I bought this? the magitek ironworks sword for 600 tomestone
It's good
it's good
Nah that's perfect actually
Never been in an expac release in this game yet, should I expect the first day to have horrible servers?
How long are they? I've been in 1 hour queue in destiny 2 😂
out of curiosity what do people consider 'bad' queues?
That being said, due to the spell upgrade system, and how expansion jobs don't have the same traits which 'upgrade' attacks, more than a few DPS jobs do quite a bit more DPS at lower levels. Hopefully they'll fix it with EW but no promiss
ive been in many newb/beginner chats and this one is easily one of the best. yall have been great, i recognize names that always speak up and its been very cool to get this support.
Shadowbringers was fine, but that was before the WoW crash and burn
Unless they get those server upgrade in
Depends, sometimes the server burns and queue times are 24-48 hours until they fixed the servers

Yeah, I expect stormblood 2.0 launch
Unless they really get those server upgrades in
If I do login on the first minute it's possible the queue will stay be over an hour?
They did say they're investing like 1m into it
It's only the OCE delay which is delayed iirc
I still feel like DC travel being implemented before EW is really low chance
Depend how early
The standard upgrade should be implemented by launch
Like minute 1 is like a bunch of fatmen fitting through a small door
Like I feel like the whole server team is desperate on server upgrades now
Especially since they did say they're testing DC gravel
Basically expect the ques you see on major patch days
Lol what are my chances to play EW on the release day? 😛
But worse
I could be patient enough and just wait a day or two before I start if it's super bad
It's a 50/50 chance. Likely they'll be able to accommodate... Somehow. Shouldn't be as bad as Stormblood.
Rip trial players
Since they have the instancing stuff and other things they learned from Stormblood
Well with all the money they got from WoW crashing, time to upgrade servers
And shadowbringers was practically flawless until WoW crash
Yeah they're probably battening the battened hatches
Sadly people can glitch it
yeah, but they're a minority.
True
whenever i login, i have about 20 people in 'queue' that gets resolved in like 5 seconds. do you guys have longer regular queues?
Same for me, but we're both on chaos
On normal days the ques go by fast
But with the influx and prior to server upgrades they moved slower
Depends, I’m on Aether Faerie, my queues are quick
For whatever godforsaken reason
Heyy how do you get from lvl 46 to 50 since there are no more quests?
Dailies
Daily Roulette
Dungeons
Potd
or you can try doing palace of the dead
Alrighty Thankss

Can you use exp boost to level up "real" level faster in palace of the dead too or no? Lol XD
Only armoury bonus and road to 70 buff it
I'm on free trial so level 60 is the max sadly. So no than? Lol XD
Mob exp isn’t a thing there
Road to 70 do work on free trail I think
nvm, cant preorder if im on free trial right?
Road to 70 is a preferred world thing
Well ok y'all. Thanks pal, lol XD
Nope
You can preorder but you can’t activate
if i preorder can i still get the preorder rewards?
i just want the exp boosting earings
What's the best way to level up in PotD? By repeating 1 to 30 floors over and over again?
51-60
Yeah if you want it now you need to buy
you'll have to redeem Endwalker BEFORE or DURING Early Access for the earrings
Ok. Thank you :D
i kinda don't want to get those earrings, i feel like leveling is fast enough already in this game
bruh
how do collectibles work? i got the fish icepick and saw there was a collectable version but for some reason mine didnt count
what does it say when u fail feeding a chocobo? im trynna change colours and dont know what i shld be looking out for if it fails
Turn on collectors glove for fisher
you can downconvert collectible fish to regular version
if you want the regular one for some reason
!action Collector's Glove
fucking
There’s a tank in our group that keeps fighting the last boss in a dungeon we are doing but the rest of us got wiped already and reset. He doesn’t want to reset and keeps fighting the boss. Is it better to leave duty/abandon or just wait it out?
they renamed it
just wait
maybe tab out and watch a youtube video
collectors glove? i dont think i have that
go to Ishgard's Levemette to find the NPC which grants you the glove action
Then you can’t get collectibles
Does your real armor have an impact in PotD armor or no?
no
Just aetherpool
Awesome :D
ok i have the actions Scour, Brazen Prospector, Meticulous Prospector, and Scrutiny but i dont see collects glove
What’s the best way to get deepshadow twine fast
Fisher just uses patience for fishing collectibles
Hunts
The only gatherer that has collector's glove is fisher
!action Collect
turn this on
Which hunts
ShB hunts
and some fish will automatically convert to collectible while fishing
!faq hunts
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
ah okay ty!
but if you click yes you can still downgrade it later to regular version
but you can't go the other way around
Does Lucid Dreaming work as a Black Mage? I feel like MP isn't going up at all, or am I just not noticing cause I'm using MP too much lol XD
not really
because fire now makes your natural MP Regen 0, It also disables lucid dreaming's refresh effect as well
You can safely unbind it on black mage
So should I just remove that from the hotbar than?
you can safely unbind it in black mage
black mages are strange
Ok. Thank you :D
Can’t hear you over all these triplecast flares
whats max lvl of bluemage atm
70
assuming you start from square one, what’s a rough hour estimation for getting the Pteranodon mount for 500k points in every DoH/L?
as long as it takes, and as per mats I can throw gil at the MB for the crafters
assuming you're in there for ~16 hours a day going for maximum yield, at least 2-3 weeks
per gatherer
and per crafter? fuck if i know
if you dont go all in expert crafts on the doh ones it's going to be way too long of time to get to 500k
gotcha, that’s something at least, thanks!
sks to tier > crit > dhit=det
yes
is there anything important I might miss if I turn on limited battle effects settings for party instead of all?
just keep it on limited, so you don't miss placed aoes and healer bubbles
sounds good thank u both
oh thx
Can you put Retainers in apartments or only houses?
ahh dang
Retainer bells are either, though
when do you use the paladins cover?
it seems such a niche ability
like as off tank maybe
I just bought the expansion up to stormblood, and like the aderal child I am I used the book I got in moogle mail without reading, now the rest of the story quests are completed and I don't have them available, i also dont want to do NG+ because am not getting any kind of rewards...
or certain bosses that randomly aim at party members?
You'll rarely ever use cover
Maybe to save that 1 dumbass who can't be bothered to move out of aoes
It got mega nerfed into the ground from stormblood
If it didnt cost oath, id be using it on cd you say
are you sure you bought the expansion
and not the story skip?
You could cover tank busters to not swap...but just swap lol
It also gave 20% mitigation
In stormblood
!faq altlvlguide
It was literally a free rampart
Double everything and that's the grind you're looking at
wow. wish it wouldnt costh oath at least
it already has 120sec cd
looks like am an ape and had no idea that was even a thing, and i seem to not have bought the expansion

lol
rip
to be fair...
!faq buy

lmao rofl
That's on you buddy. Remember to make sure you're informed about your purchase next time, especially when SE is usually good about communicating this stuff.
quick question
my friend received mail but can't interact with the post moogle
new player, looking for help deciding between
Red mage
Astronaught
Whitemage
Summoner
what's up with that?
Your only choices starting off are White Mage and Summoner. astrologist requires MSQ completion of the base game and patches, while red mage requires you to own the expansion
wdym can't interact
How long does the MSQ base game take?
I have the expansions.
(lets say i have access to all of them)
astro is not for naught, it is a fun healer. white mage is also a healer. summoner is meh. red mage is a very fun dps class
20-30 hours of 2.0, 15-20 hours for 2.x
2.0? 2.x?
2.x is the patch content
After the first set of level 50 qiest
You have the level cap quests
What makes summonser meh and red mage fun?
people tend to complain about unresponsive pets
that the class suffers from
Oh.
That being said, summoner is set to receive yet ANOTHER rework for Endwalker
Unless things change, but that's speculation
Hows the rework looking?
we don't know
No one knows
Waiting for the job action live letter in two weeks
not saying its not on me but the fact that you can buy a story skip for content you dont even own is pretty 
Is summoner a base class?
Arcanist -> summoner
Arcanist -> astronomer?
Expansion jobs do not have a base class
Arcanist to summoner or scholar
no, astrologian is its own job
It is, but that's why you always double check your purchases
that's how I live anyways
and be an anxious wreck but eh details
I got to level 50 on a BLM and thought the story wasn't too engaging, does it get better?
it depends
There's a reason why the free trial includes Heavensward
I didnt have a good feel for the characters/what was happening
ARR is world building
A lot of world building
And a lot of establishing plot lines for later expansions
Oh I see, i need to learn the world first
is there any good content youtubers that go over the world building/
since 1.0 is defunct they cannot rely on 1.0 at all besides the fact it led to the calamity
is it possible for a free trial user get the pld mount?
yes, but it's going to be a significant grind since your daily roulettes only count once a day
I think
its only for roulettes?
for a FT player yes, as you cannot queue for level 61+ content
So I queue for a leveling duty whne tanks are needed but it switches to healer mid que do I still get rewareds?
Complete 50 dungeons (lv. 61 and above), extreme trials (lv. 61 and above), unreal trials, level 50/60/70 duty roulette dungeons, or duty roulette leveling duties as a paladin.
※Each roulette only counts with daily award bonus.
The AIN bonus locks in when you queue
ahh okok so it "snapshots" it
And that being said, if it switches to your role while it's in queue, it also grants it I think?
I've received the AIN bonus despite it not being active for the role before
It checks when you que and when it pops
i was thinking why do i only have 5/50 but these achievements are per job? there is a mount for every tank job?
So, while questing in ARR i got some quests which are asking me to do some extreme trials using duty finder. Probably not a good idea? Should I use party finder to complete those instead?
Party finder
the real endgame is dungeon spamming as tank then?
No sane people que for extremes and up
Do you know if using party finder still counts against quest completion?
It still counts, as it only looks for instance completion
The method done doesn't matter
I see. Thanks!
will reaper get a tea/ucob/uwu weapon or will it only be for the new EW ultimate?
However, those jobs will get Dragonsong Ultimate weapons when that comes out.
So I've played rogue up to be able to unlock some more classes, which is cool as I want to try out Red Mage, but the problem is that I'm suddenly thrust into a level 50 class with 50 levels of abilities that I've never played. What do?
!faq 50rdm
tl;Dr get thrown in the deep end, slap a dummy for an hour
the ones i always fail to find
is there a quest of some sort to unlock mentor queue or is it basically just 'beat everything that isnt savage the game has to offer'
Basically that yes
kk thought so
ok this is just a quick question
Are there any other skills I'll most likely would never to use Black Mage beside Lucid Dreaming? Lol XD
Sleep
do you guys think that the complete edition will be going on sale before endwalker drops?
i just bought it last night
probably, its gone on sale at least 4 times already
Probably not unless it does on steam for the autumn sale
You will actually use lucid if you want to hyper-optimize 
Ok. Thank you. Is that all? :D
should i refund and wait for the sale?
I recently got into the game hit 60 on some classes so I would like to get the complete edition then buy endwalker
That's it really
you could also wait for endwalker release and just buy the new complete edition
you drop like 2 spells at some point
the blm kit is pretty much just upgrades
I was thinking about doing that yeah
don't forget to yeet scathe 
Well ok. Thank you. Just trying to know what skills I should take out from my hotbar, lol XD
To make it look more clean and to make sure I won't use that skills by mistake :D
my bars rn
all your class abilities fit on 3 bars anyways, and aside from lucid dreaming on blm you do occasionally use sleep in overworld when you just want to run away easily
It can also rarely save a run of a dungeon
can u place a glamour dresser in ur appartment ?
nope

i had a question about steam's regional pricing and subscription pricing
only the price for the starter edition is based on your region
am i right?
if you sub with steam the price will adjust normally by steam
both price will be on the same rule if that's your question i don't quite understand xD
so the price of a subsciption is the same as the price of the starter editon?
no it's not the same normally 2 euro more

the price for both is based on your region i just check
other sub based games on steam have clear indicators on their subscriptions and have options to buy said subscriptions from steam. looking up ff14 apparently, you have to renew your sub from the mogstation but you have a payment option through steam?
i see, thanks for clarifying
it will send you to the steam page and you also get the Steam Points for Points Shop

Is there a guide for Raiding? What are Tankbuster, DPS checks.. etc where can I learn about this?
Like what those terms are?
Tankbuster = if you’re not a tank, this attack will destroy you 100%
What a tank buster is varies between fights
A lot of them are actually self explanatory
DPS Checks - it's a DPS check, if you don't have high enough dps, you don't pass the check and bad stuff happens
does gathering macro work?
Tankbuster - an attack that busts the tank, high damage and has the potential to kill the tank
yup
Idk if the work any more tbh
Collectable macros work, but you can’t macro actually getting the item
is there a lexicon of the raid terms?
oh so the "collect" one wont work than?
Ive heared more of them Im lvl 75 so I want to start Raiding but I'm afraid to not know some of the calls
im turning in coffee biscuits, for some reason the gil reward is dropping, is it random or?

where can i get that?

What kind of items can be placed in the armoire? I keep getting lvl1 market prohibited gear that looks nice from quests but for some reason i can't place it in there.

Things you need to fly

im trying ti find out if this game interests me so im on the free trial, which job(s) would get enough of their kit the earliest so i can see what the game really is like?
How exactly do I unlock Bozjan front? I just finished 5.1 but so many guides have conflicting info
can I unlock flying before the HW MSQ ends?
You can usually unlock flying when you finish a zone. The final MSQ in each zone awards the last current
So i'm assuming EXP from WT scales, will it stay at the EXP it was when i got it or change when i level up?
It's ALWAYS half a level
Thanks! Guess ill save mine till later
I finished 5.1 but I don’t know where the bozjan quest chain starts
I did all 3 Ivalice raids
Judging by the look of relief on Keiten's face, you have saved him a great deal of time.
Keiten
Kugane (X: 12.23 Y: 12.36)
Marsak
Yanxia (X: 16.32 Y: 8.59)
Shadowbringers
The City of Lost Angels
Path to the Past
Where? It’s not in my map
I’m standing right at him. He has no quest for me
I just finished 5.1 chain, I finished ivalice raids
Can I go after aether currents at any point in new zones, or do I need to do some kind of quest there first?
I finished bozjan front quest. Guides say Marsak in Gangnos should have eagles nest but he does not have it
And I haven’t finished that one in my log
do you have your i485 weapon?
Yeah
What's the last quest you have completed in the resistance chain
when you talk to marsak what does he have
Just some dialogue
You sure you fully completed 5.1
what's your current main scenario quest
Past vows of virtue, deeds of cruelty
Old enemies, new threats
All the prequests here
Check them all In your journal
Level 80 dancer, all 3 quests completed in my journal
I’m gonna reboot my client. Maybe I’m bugged
Did you pick up the quest already?
i've been told that doing the crafting log to level 15, then doing leves is the fastest way to level up crafters. is this accurate?
Ishgard restoration is a good alternative after lv20
i unlocked it, but i have no idea where to start lol
In the firmament
Gather stuff in the diadem and approve them at the approver (or buy the mats) > make the receipes, raising quality to the minimum requirements > turn in at potkin
Rinse repeat
which DoH/L is the best for gil?
Market dependent
Can I go after aether currents at any point in new zones, or do I need to do some kind of quest there first?
You can get the ones in the field, but you'll need story progress to get the quest ones
They're all on the story path for the most part
The only time you need story progress to get more zone ones are when the zone is split in two, ie sea of clouds
will new game+ allow me to do stuff i already skipped through like side quests for trials and stuff or just main story?
i dont remember if the HW raids were main story but will i be able to do those quests for example?
No raids are main story
But yes you can redo them
The raid series for both 8man and 24mans are in ng+
ok tyvm! :D
Just a cringey raise macro
Hello, im a free trial player thats wanting to buy other expansions, however since endwalker is coming I dont really wanna be buying shadowbringers just to buy endwalker on top of it 1 month later. Ive heard that if I buy endwalker, ill get the previous expansions as well but will I get them only when endwalker launches? Lets say I pre order endwalker now, will I instanrly get access to shadowbringers? Thank you for your time
What does it mean to allow guest teleportation to your apartment?
you wont, you'd have to wait until EW comes out to get SHB
no, gotta wait for EW
Lots of healers have macros that ping a message into party/alliance chat when they raise, so that their cohealers know who's getting raised so they don't waste MP/Swiftcast on the same target. Sometimes people like to get creative with their messages.
oh. Okay, thank you. Guess ill take a small break
!faq buy
Which class has the safest/easiest unsynced raid/trial clears?
Paladin/warrior are the best at soloing old content
How do you get purple tier weapons? Like when you inspect ppl they have purple colored weapon images
Those are relics
How do I farm em?
Do their long, grindy quest chain that unlocks after each expansion Base story
Zodiac for 50, anima for 60, eureka for 70 and Resistance/bojza for 80
Hi. I'm new and wondering how to join a world after character creation. I'm currently getting all worlds not accepting new character. How do I play?
Aether is permanently closed until further notice
You need to pick another data centre
How do I choose another one?
Title screen > data centre
how do I get to convictory?
Mouse over Rescue macro. Is that good?
I thought since I'll use it as an emergency and don't use it often, and since I have to click on someone I thought mouse over for that would be good. Or am I wrong?
Primal or crystal for NA
Thanks very much for the info
How do I start resistance bozja ones? @faint flare
Walk north from Falcon’s Nest.
I'm working on all the big fish achieves, how do I get enough gathering for the later ShB big fish?
Need to do the lv70 24mans to start the quest line
Hail to the Queen starts thr bojzan story and leads you to the relic area
Also, be prepared for a fairly extensive grind.
You'll need 5.4 story to access all the relic steps
Yes
Does mouse over works by hovering your mouse over someone on battlefield too, or only by hovering your mouse on the party list?
Yes
Both work
And is Rescue a good skill to use for mouse over macro?
Sure I guess
How does most people use Rescue?
Just thought in an emergency it's a good idea to use the skill as fast as possible, so I thought it'll be nice if I can skip the part of me clicking on an ally first. Or will that make it worst instead?
It’s fine to use for that
rescue can be used to cancel someone out of movement lock in lb3 too
good for saves
Macros will always technically be slightly slower than manually clicking
But if clicking would slow you down too much then macro is justifiable
And rescue isn’t used often
So macro is ok
Ok. Thank you :D
Lol XD

can the white lvl 80 gatherer gear be better then saint too if overmelded?
you can't meld script gear
only aesthete's can be better when melded
i was asking if u overmeld white gear if its better than saints
How many hours will post arr take if you had to guess
Aaaaaaaabsolutely not
k ty
at what stage can I use ARR relics as glamour
will there be a way to get the earring of experience later in any way? Or just endwalker pre-order?
Just preorder
The only alternative is the bojzan earring for 10% bonus between 71-80
Which requires 1k lost action appraisals
when will the pre-order period end? day prior to release?
Does Raise work with something like
/micon "Swiftcast"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Raise" <t>
/ac "Raise" <2>
/ac "Raise" <3>
/ac "Raise" <4>
/ac "Raise"<5>
/ac "Raise" <6>
/ac "Raise" <7>
/ac "Raise" <8>
I found something like this in google, but with Ascend instead of Raise. I thought it would be super useful but I wanted to make sure if this actually works first. Like if 2 is up and 3 is down then will it go straight to 3 and try to revive the 3 instead, and I doesn't have to click on it first for it to work? Lol XD
I'm unnemployed right now ULU
When it releases
It's terrible and hilariously slow
Hell none of the raises would even go off if swift is up
Not without a wait
Mass raise macros are the worst kind
Should I just do
/micon "Swiftcast"
/ac "Swiftcast" <me>
/ac "Raise" <t>
instead? That way I can use Raise and Swiftcast all in one go to make it abit faster for me to raise someone.
It will be slower
Than manual raising
And the raise won't even go off without a wait after swift
macros will almost always be slower than manual due to action queueing
So doing swiftcast first than raise manually would be faster?
Well ok. Thank you :D
crafting macros, and macros for ground targeting abilities are usually the exceptions to the badness tho
What's a good way to level my Culinarian lvl 79 - 80?
Any idea why an Item in my Glamour set (Ul'Dahn Claymore) is marked with a red cross?
hey guys, im near the end of shadowbringers and ive come across a quest called 'light of inspiration' by an NPC called Grenoldt but i cant do anything?
Is there a setting to make applied shields show up on the health bar/health bar of my party members?
Do your role quests
This is what the game told you after Holmestier
That you'll need to do one chain to finish the msq
You reached the point it's required
It's on by default
You can't change it
Because you can’t equip it.
Thing is I can
By cross do you mean x or +
Does auto-translate thing work with mouse-over or no?
X
Your currently equipped weapon is too low level
Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear
You can’t use it.
Only with target?
that might actually be the issue (Edit: it is ty)
thought id done them all tbh cause usually they come up top right of the screen right under the msq part?
Weird. It used to be when using carbuncle's shield, the shield showed up on my health bar. Now, it doesn't. Hm.
Role quests aren't tracked
Unless I am mis-remembering.
also you have to do the level 80 quest to get the item for what is a level 79 msq I believe, cuz weirdness
if duty roulette changes during ur queue, do u still get adventurer needed bonus from the previous role?
okay ty ty
were would i go if im lookinfg for people to play ff14 with
a what lol
Static for Raid, FC for Social Stuff
how do i do that
!faq communityfinder
For fcs
So I'm level 79 on my PLD right now, and was wondering which dungeon gives me more xp: Malikah's Well or Mt. Gulg? Mt. Gulg has the ilvl sync icon next to it, and I can't remember if that meant it doesnt give as much xp or something like that?
Which one isn’t lvl. 80
Gulg of course
What would be the point of a level 79 dungeon that gave less than the 77 one? 
Ilvl sync has nothing to do with exp
Okay so the ilvl sync doesn't mean less xp, got it :D Just thought that since people have told me 50/60/70 dungeons dont give as much xp, and they all happen to have ilvl sync icon aswell, so got a bit confused
only 50/60/70 hehe
since they are story content
like those post-msq stuff you've done, they barely gave any exp
same with the dungeon part
50/60/70 dont give good exp because they are old lvl cap dungeons
Not all 506070 dungeons have ilvl sync.
they weren't designed with exp in mind
The picture also tells you. 
I'm trying to make a macro for my BLM's Limit Break so I can have dialogue with it, but I can't get it to work. Can someone help me find the problem? I keep reading different things on reddit and none of them seem to work
/micon "Limit Break"
/ac "Limit Break" <t>
/ac "Limit Break"
/p "insert corny thing I wanna say"
If you’re including those line breaks into the macro, remove them
So it should look like
/
/
/
/
Instead of
/
/
/
/
Cause formating
i have no way to test if it works except to head back into yet another leveling dungeon roulette
alsdkfj;alksdfj;
tf is explorer mode
A thing for level 70-80 dungeons that lets you go in them solo and already done
To take pretty pictures
And use limit break freely
And use mounts in dungeons
welp explorer mode is blocked from every dungeon and trial so there goes that idea XD
what does it work on
70 and 80 dungeons
70-80 dungeons
alksdjflajsdfa i'm leveling as in i'm lvl 24 so that makes sense
It's a new ish thing
i cant find it
The vendor near the hammer icon
did you get the orange juice
no orange juice yet
North = up
Just wondering if the polar bear from the recent event will come back. Unfortunately i missed it, if it does come back. Do these things usuallycome back from another event or for something else?
The hammer is the npc
It’s spelled out pretty explicitly…
Be on mogstation next uear
Will be on the cash shop next year
didn't know the hammer is a vendor loool
Next year, cash shop
As standard for seasonal events
ahh
thought only repair shop
got it
