i believe it was this one, yes
should i have others dmgs as well?
i dont think so, no?
ACT is the framework, if it looked unwieldy you should change the DPS meter preset you use
Most are configurable
ACT overlay will depend on what plugins you use
In other words.
- I install act and set it up ingame
- I sign up on fflogs.com adn downlaod their fflogs companion app (?)
- FFlogs takes my ACT's logs to analyze my gameplay
there is a variety
if you just want analysis
use xivanalysis
fflogs are for uploading your parses
for rankings and such
oh wait
i heard people's parsers are like job CV's, no?
but you need to upload your logs
yeah
and then link that to xivanalysis
i dont think you need the companion app
but you need the FF logs uploader
For high end static’s they might care about your parses but your worth is measured in your ability to learn and retain information, which obviously isn’t loggable lol
- ACT - Parser 2) FFlogs uploader to upload your logs
- xiv analysis to link your uploaded logs (from fflogs) to breakdown where your mistakes are
just so you know, expect your parses to be low at first because by now people have way better gear than you and gear makes a good part of the parse.
and since you're new as well, they'll be very low.
use xivanalysis to learn what's wrong :>
yeah using xivanalysis is the most important part
Does xivanalysis take into account level sync? For example doing lvl 60 content synced?
from my experience it does, if you try to put in xiva any lvl70 ultimate log it's broken.
xiva takes for granted the fight is level80
hey guys i watched a video saying if i complete the twinning and some other dungeon i unlock expert roulette. ive completed amarout, the twinning, akademia anyder, and the grand cosmos just now but still nothing. is there something im missing or is the video old and its changed now? thanks
It looks for bad weaves, uptime issues, gauge overcap etc
if there is downtimes etc the uptime% is gonna be broken as well
okay i will try i guess
Expert is the latest two dungeons. It's currently pagthan and matoya
Both are msq unlocks
continue MSQ and you’ll unlock it naturally
oh right okay so after the shadowbringers msq carry on with it and ill unlock them?
Yes. Matoya is 5.4 and pagthan is 5.5
pagthan is the last dungeon of this expansion
ahh okay ty for the clear up 👌
where i can get noctis outfit from mogstation ?
what are ss ranks?
Very very very hard hunt marks. They can be spawned under very special circumstances by I think spawning S ranks? The only SHB one I know is in tempest
What are the rewards in terms of poetics and seals?
You get revelation, allegory and nuts from SHB ones. I'm not sure, I've only done it once through a hunt discord and I didn't spawn it
When endwalker comes in do those weekly capped poetics get removed? Im asking because i have a choice between doing rulette as lvl 80 for those weekly poetics or leveling my other jobs
Poetic cap won't get removed, and everything currently on revelation or allegory moves to poetics. New endgame tomes will be I troduced
can i solo crystal tower as ilvl 510 character?
Nope. It's hard, and at least lota and wod has mechs that you need lots of people for
what enemy count should i switch to single rotation for BLM at 70+
but you can (with some practice) solo syrcus tower
ah no no
i think its 3+
if i am going to struggle theres no point then
Is it true that BLM fucking suffers in ultimates?
eh
every class does
BLM is a struggle at any content if you dont know how it works
and in ultimate you do it so much you could easily just start planning your movement like savage
TEA has a fuckton of BLM videos and stuff since the job was a bit overtuned at that time
You mean overpowered?
eh something along those lines, not OP but still really good
i forget if they tuned it down before or after TEA
im on the one time grind before the actual step for the augmented laws order shb relic step
would the raids be more efficient or fate farming?
fate farming
hmm, thanks!
can farm zadnor stuff and relic at the same time
understandable
im halfway to 18 for both memories so, ill just do fates for the rest of them
i farmed a lot of zadnor then just did the rest in raids to fill out the last few
half of the memories ive done were from raids and uh
yea i aint looking forward to doing anymore atm lmao
meanwhile i barely noticed, but i was doing it week 1 so there were a ton of people doing it alongside me
Is there a way for me to change the document game files name?. My one is called My games/ff14, within the document section. I would like to changes “my games” into just games
i think you should not do that as the game file reading the log in that exact folder link
change it and it might cease to function properly
What about if I change where the files that go into the document section goto my other hardrives?
Can I do that?
I only have 120 gb ssd main drive so i gotta put at much stuff on my larger hardrive
the developer decide where those files are stored and they 100% do not want player to mess with that
as it can cause chaos when each player choose different location
this is for optimization and since it has been done like this for years, dev team wont change it
as it gives them more job while reward nothing
is there any reason not to turn in blue items to the gc expert delivery for seals?

level up crafter desynthesis?
Do you have to join a party to get the best stuff from hunts
maximum reward based on enmity
so be a tank
like i as a DRK use 1 skill while grit on, and get 1/8 of the max reward
you can see the math already
but party guarantee the reward since individual are summed and counted as one
What standing do I have to be to unlock Soot Black Dye for the Ixali Vendor ?
No but it helps a lor
Respected
are all ARR beast tribe have several quest giver like the Ixali so you can focus entirely on ranking up one tribe?
How far is that from Neutral?
Also who do I talk to to check standing?
you can check it in your reputation menu under character
its about the 5th stage in
None have as many as the Ixali.
What class should i make my retainers
Hey guys, where can I get script gathering gear at lvl 70?
Rhalgr's Reach
took me like 4 days i think
Ty
its quite fast if you do all your quest allowances
I'll try then 😔
can you change second skill row keyboard modifier instead of using control+key? And what do people usually have? control just seems to not be very comfortable to use to me personally to the point where i'd rather just click the spells, like my current ninja setup is this and I quite dig it, but i just unlocked lvl52 spell which combos with death blossom which is my 1 key and i already dont have comfortable spots on first row where spamming death blossom + hakke would be comfortable, any tips? 😄
@worthy patrol ah btw how do quest allowences work?
use shift as a modifier aswell
you get like 12 a day i think
it says it when you go to accept one of the ixali quests
guys, should I buy exarchic weapon or get relic weapon?
So it allows you to repeat a quest or something like that?
shift seems more comfortable than ctrl at least, but do you mean for third row or do you use it instead of ctrl for second row?
I finished all the Ixali quests
I'd recommend Exarchic. Relic will take a while to get.
I use shift for my second hotbar and control for my third
you can change it in keybinds under the system icon
no but once you move further in their ranks you get more quests
I use shift for 2nd hotbar
alt for 3rd, ctrl is very cramped
and you run out of allowances
oohhh ok
at a lower rank you can do all of them daily
but then you'll have to decide which ones give you more reputation
nice, thanks ofr the responses, ill try out shift
is there still reason to do dailies once you're capped at reputation?
if you are confortable with both shift and control, then you will never run out of space 🙂 I personaly dont like ctrl, my ninja setup looks like this
xp
oh ok
D bound? what do you use for movement?
I also could probably utilize keys such as VBN tbh
but i enjoy 1234 QERT
Im a weirdo and move with WQSE instead of WASD
world of warcraft with the default Q and E for strafing at an early age made me never get used to WASD in any game ahaha
yea those are easy to press with your thumb
I like to put defensive cds on those
alt is nice for skill line 2 cuz you can also use the other alt fort he higher numbers instead os stretching your hand :p
but other hand mouse hand
use 1 hand
2 alts on both side of the space bar
and if need to move can use your mouse to double click to run
do you look at your keyboard?
so youre telling me you use 7-0 with your second hand and no looking?
but you shift it to the other side of the keyboard
right
where are yellow script vendors?
ya i use my thumb and slide acroses space bar to the other alt to hit the higher numbers
All three main cities have one at the main market district, plus all expansion main cities
"main cities" lol
i legit feel that this game would maybe even be more comfortable to play with controller but im not willing to test it on pc cuz i might not wanna go back lol
people say that u should buy master recipes with yellow scripts but i cant find any and dont even know what they are
Master recipe books are sold at the relevant endgame hub
idleshire ?>
So idyllshire, rhalgrs, eulmore
are they called master recipes?
You can buy them all from the same hub
You just need to unlock the hubs
And then you go to crafter scrip and master recipe tomes
yeah thats for end game either way ok thanks
i need to accept some mission to do wolf mark? i try to go on pvp island but it's empty and idk how t farm wolrf mark
Yep, at your GC HQ and airship landing. I think some of it is also rank restricted

how normal is trading 99 totems for a mount? Did they provide the mount drop rates?
You get the mount
rng is rng, we don't have the drop data, some people will end up buying all 7 and some will win all 7 after a few runs of each ex
You are guaranteed to get the mount via trading 99 totems so bad luck to a certain point
back to rng prayer room
sorr bout that
while im here is there anything unique to getting all bozja lost actions
im at level 53 but if i want to start playing a different class do i need to level all the way up to 53 again or can i just swap?
curious about the EW preorder, since u can get it without paying asap along with the bonus items from preorder what would happen if for example u fail to pay when the time for the charge comes?
damn my friend wanted to make a character on cerberus server
and it just so happened that all chaos servers are opened except cerberus
If new class, lvl all over again.
any possibility that cerberus will open in a couple minutes?
damn thats encouraging
Alt job leveling is a thing
probably not since its slowly goin to primetime, he can try but probably doesn't get on it before in the late evening or early morning
aha, yeah i just want to try a different healer but cant be fucked going through all the cutscenes again
Suspend the use of pre order bonus and no endwalker for you and maybe they will black list you, prevent you pre order again
you don't do the msq again to level another class/job
!faq altlevelguide
ohhh ok i see cos i like preordered the eu ones mistakenly and had to ask for a refund from customer support but kinda having trouble with it so im just planning to left it hanging altho i got the NA ones now
tbf with healers u can just spam dungeons
This will probably be fine. Imperator is thinking cases where you redeem the pre order and then cancel to just get the bonuses
alright tnx just worried might face issues in the future
when will they also start the charge btw?
Probably at release
oh ok tyty
Are the 6 custom delivery allowances per week SHARED between all clients?
I'm confused, I remember giving both zhloe and mnaago 6 items each this week. But just unlocked the pig guy and it says 0 left...
do you need to do the logs stuff to get into savages? seems kinda complicated 
12 per week, 6 per client
is there a setting for in game texture resolution?
12 shared allowances per week, 6 turn ins per client maximum
No
If you're joining a static people will probably ask for logs to get a feel for your skill level
No, and discussing logs in game is probably an easy way to get banned
Oo.. didn't know it was 12
Thanks
Assumed 6 per client.
you guys see grainy, low res hair textures on the main cast of characters too right?
That's intentional to save on local storage space. Try raising AA if it really bothers you.
i'm maxed on every setting
Even then the texture work in this game isn’t the best in general.
AA won't do much when playing on 4K screen resolution
i'm on a 1440p screen but rendering at 4K
If you want higher resolution assets, you'll have to resort to modding. The game is developed for PS4 target specs first @ 30 FPS
Most hair models are still ps3 target spec locked too
beware of very nsfw mods
hair defined does not seem to solve saintly style's issue.
they have an sfw filter on by default if you're just browsing.
i tried looking for mods like this but that website is flooded by lewd mods lmao
thanks
ah good
The way my static do it is my static leader post private log in our discord, some of us have console players and not everyone has the luxury to have it
will that mod improve the hair of characters like alphinaud, thancred etc?
so only 1 guy needs to do the logs?
Learning how to read logs however can help you improve your gameplay and realise what you did wrong
to upload*
It's so detailed, It take hours for me tbh the first time I've seen it to extract information from it
Pretty sure there's a filter for nsfw in that sites search bar
^ that too yeah.
i don't mean straight up NSFW mods, but it's mostly skimpy armors and such
I'm not sure for alphinaud as he and alisae use a custom hairstyle that was unavailable until a few Online Store updates ago, so it really depends if the mod has been updated for it. I wouldn't think they go out of their way for a NPC only hairstyle
but you don't need it though, 3 of us are console players and their RDPS is a bit high when We first formed the static
You can also just not log
It helps for self improvement
But it's not 100% necessary
Learning your opener and tightening up your rotation are the big things you need
If I had a penny for every rdm that pops acceleration at 5s I'd be a very rich chef
ez 99

I haven't watched any opener guides yet 
that you should
Yeah there aren't many mods for alphy's hairstyle that I can find, sadly. I wanted one that chopped off the pony tail but the only one that exists is bad 
reading tooltips is first, second is to read the guide at the balance to confirm your understanding
the mentor there are so helpful, they pointed out and explained what I did wrong
Do look into your opener. Its very important at savage level
!faq balance
fflogs and xivanaylsis only helps with optimizations, but they will point out glaring issues
This place has all the endgame rotation and gear guides you'll ever need
Imo opener > gear
i heard SE was in the process of making a visuals overhaul in endwalker, don't remember where i read it
as long as you are 520, you would be fine with getting into statics and PF i reckon
No such thing has been confirmed. That's only a rumor at best.
Doubtful. Probably some up ressing when ps4 support is ended but we're a ways away from that
Basically, unless the team says "yes" exactly, it's either not possible at the moment or unlikely to happen.
Such as glamour logs. The team would love to do it but technical debt prevents that from happening in the near future.
And like any other software developer that goes on the "nice to have" list
Which is also the "shit we don't have time to do" list
they could probably outsource the work to a different studio, money isn't the problem going forward i reckon
most modern games have an optional high res texture pack on pc
They said engine improvements were a ways down the line. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we get more qol and customization improvements in ew patches in advance of the new story arc.
Sure, if you had the time to train the studio on how to use the specialized engine used for MMORPG development.
Here's hoping but even then we won't see any of that for quite a while even then. Not to mention the absolute spaghetti code of the current engine
Which, they don't.
making higher res textures doesn't require knowledge of the engine if that's what you meant
The engine greatly limits the texture quality that they can use.
and again, as I said, that change is a long ways off
On top of feasibility, you need to think priority too
Making higher res textures that will work in the specialised engine and can be swapped back and forth with a config setting without breaking anything... That will
A lot of things are doable, but you have a limited amount of time
also, storage size is still a concern.
So they have to prioritize
Like, it's amazing this game hasn't ballooned in size yet.
Would it be more important to make a rock look nicer or to make a key NPC look nicer
I thought it is at 70 ish give or take?
yeah an overhaul on the main cast of npcs would be nice
Anyways we're getting into #general-discussion
53 gig for me
I was making examples on priority
Making a NPC look nice is more important than making a rock look nicer
Basically, yes, they could throw more people at it. But the cost wouldn't be worth it for the vast majority, especially since the launcher they use probably doesn't support seperate downloads. So that's especially doubling the file texture size among other things.
So please, think before you say "JuSt ThroW MoRE PeoplE At iT"
If anything I'd wager that it'd be a pet project of a select few people spread out across a number of expansions.
my game folder weighs 54GB
Simple analogy on why more people doesn't always mean faster result: you cannot get a baby in 1 month by getting 10 couples to work together
Because there's just no way they could specifically designate people to just that.
yeah that's the default one I reckon, since mine's too
Anyways yes this has been discussion
My manager used that, except his one was "throwing 9 men on a woman"
haven't uninstalled it since last year
My example was getting 10 women

lol, it is literally how the industry works
true
Well, good thing Yoshi-p is an executive and knows how game development actually works at the end of the day.
i had one more unrelated question
can you invite Kupo Bot to other discord servers?
Yes
It's really not. Throwing people at a problem just makes it more complicated and other things suffer instead.
*How out of touch executives and armchair game designers/commentators think the industry works
Ftfy
yeah
as long as you are an admin of that server, you can invite
how do you train new squadron crew?
@slate arrow umm, I mean how do you select who to train?
all I can do is train the old ones
It automatically trains them all at once, except for deployed characters
if you want to train a recuit, you'll have to accept them into your squadron first
That is showing who will level up when the training is complete
They all get the same EXP reward
oh alright, appreciated!
is there an option where u can hide ur party members's name?
yeah, but why would you want to do that? 🤔
So I'm a blue mage now, wtf do I do 😂
start levelling
you want the tl;dr or step by step
WeskAlber has a very good guide for solo levelling
What do I level from since they dont have a hunt log
You kill things
So this is both an April Fools joke, and not. Many people always asked for a "leveling skills guide" to BLU. This is, quite literally, 100% accurate to that ask. I could completely remove the fake opener and this would be exactly what this series is meant to be. BLU does not learn any other skills via leveling.
Originally I wasn't goin...
blu gets boosted exp from killing overworld mobs.
Blue mage gets 10x exp from overworld mobs
Oh thx
that should cover both cheese and solo leveling
BLU is unique in that it's the only job that actually gains experience from overworld mobs
and He explains it well
In fact, it's exempt from the locked leveling bracket other jobs suffer from, and if you have a friend, you can grind level 69 mobs and get to 70 in a few hours
I just realised i linked the wrong video https://youtu.be/st8Ay7uk74s
This is probably my most requested video ever. This is my own take on such guides. We go through the whole leveling process and some tips along the way. Please give feedback and all that

You linked the April fools video
this is the right one

😿
Vielen I believed in you how could you
This guide was useless

Ngl, only knew when it was an april fool's video when his rotation was literally just water canon
So it's the only job I can get past lvl 70 bc I'm on free trial
What's the etiquette for need vs greed? e.g. for stuff that isn't just a gear upgrade, like things you want for transmog; pets; orchestrian rolls etc?
need and greed while you can
If you can click need, click need, it's whatever
If someone asks if they can have an item and it's not something I've been target farming I just let them have it
There is no etiquette, the need/greed system itself bypasses the need for an etiquette.
Noone can hoard, Noone can just need/greed everything, keep them and sell them to high price
very limited inventory space
Thanks - I just see most people are Greeding on 'cosmetic' stuff and din't want to piss people off by just rolling Need and yoinking it 🙂
so you don't have to worry
Glamour is a valid reason to need 
^
It's not as though not getting your gear upgrade is the end of the world either
it's just not that high-stakes.
so steam logged me out and uninstalled ffxiv among others apparently but now it wont let me reinstall it
says unable to download patch
you can always run the dungeon again if you really want the piece of gear
!faq steam
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
well that doesn't help that article is from before I started playing the game and it was working before
is there any info yet on when the FF15 event is starting?
wdym by won't let you reinstall it
!faq car
Where/How can I buy the Regalia?
To be able to buy the Regalia, you must complete the FFXV collaboration quest series, starting with 'The Man in Black' in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald at x9, y10. After you have completed 'Messenger of the Winds' you'll be able to buy the Regalia, along with his hairstyle and TT card at the Gold Saucer from the Ironworks Vendor at x5, y6. The Regalia costs 200k MGP.
When does the event start and end?
The Collaboration event starts on Monday, September 13 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT), and lasts to Monday, October 18 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT)
ah cool thanks ❤️
when was blu mage added in ffxiv?
so steam installs the launcher I think, and that was fine - but I keep getting a message in the launcher saying it cant download a patch or something?
"Unable to download patch files"
early 2019
This launcher has steam support so I'd recommend using Xivlauncher instead
basically at the end of stormblood
pretty sure the game isn't even uninstalled like the other ones steam said were uninstalled when I logged back in
FFXIV is a launcher game so it only installs the launcher
Besides the steam launcher requirement it's 1/1 as the standalone launcher
Hello, I'm new to the game and I just got this error message does anyone here know what to do? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/240479093714452480/884425156989165648/unknown.png
Your audio drivers crapped itself, try restarting your PC and see if it happens again
Will do.
omg I installed a hitbox plugin for myself, so you're saying I can squeeze that little thing between aoes and im fine?! I really thought it would be way bigger
I dont know how to test it
yep, your hitbox is that tiny dot
can a tank with a healer chocobo solo a 'big boss' fate? the one with the special kind of music and 30 min timer
for most of them, it would take a very long time if no one else shows up to help
Touhou hit boxes
depending on which one, you might even run the timer all the way out
but it's theoretically possible? nobody's interested in doing heavensward achievement fates so i was wondering if i should level a tank just so i have a chance to complete it if i encounter one
it depends
it is, it's just extremely long and tedious.
the special Fate in Churning Mists definitely can't be soloed
guess i'm leveling a tank then
the NPC will die without healing
oh yeah i encountered that one
or well yeah what hiten is saying
that one probably needs a healer job
I would at least try to get 1 or 2 dps friends to come with you.
friends
ha
I've soloed those for a good uh.... 10 minutes and not even killed them.
thing is
if you start doing it on a tank people will see that there is progress on it on the map
and might come and join
at least that's what i'm hoping for
what's the best self sustain tank? dark knight?
BLU would be a better choice in that case
not on release
probably, but it'd be later in the expac.
how to get to aleport from limsa?
It will be in a future patch
cool
the BLU level increase won't coincide with the expansion release, but it'll happen sometime during Endwalker
The boat/teleport there
there's a ferry next to the Fisherman's guild
why exactly would you need something like this when you can look at your hotbar?
or do some people hide their hotbars
idk
looking down is hard
ok blue mage isnt fun anymore, the fact that the guide tells me this can work while solo, then proceeds to say "try getting a friend to help" is counter intuitive
And getting spells from mobs i cant access while on free trial

everything upto level 50 you can get in ARR
then 50 - 60 is HW
You can’t reach stormblood areas, who woulda thunk
the "try getting a friend to help" is primarily for just cheesing the levelling

once you get past ARR it becomes a lot easier because you'll have more spells and better gear
the blue mages quests are good also imo
does the blue mage quests give gear at all or nah?
The cap quests do
yes you get pretty good gear when you reach the milestones
60 kind of does as it gives you access to the blue mage store
which allows you to buy the level 60 weapon and accessories
level 60 weapon is what you should use until you beat Gogo
Ight thx
lol I just saw another bot brigade
should see what happens in NA at the twilight hours in random zones
hey ... i'm leveling up on a new char atm (about to finish AAR MSQ) ... all the guides seem to recommend getting the augmented gear for each expansion like ironworks, shire and such... is there an easy way to get all the tomestones for that or is that massive grind? some dungeons i unlocked drop like 20 tomestones, don't fancy running 30x to get just one weapon
or can you get away with stuff like the ilevel 110 wolf marks gear and skip one tier?
you don't need any addon, just practice
usually the expansions have a huge step up in ilvl so you need to get the best gear from the previous expansion to hit trash mobs on the next expac
but MSQ should give some decent gear
Alliance Raids n Roulettes drop the poetics as well
and poetics drop pretty often actually
as long as you can pick up the weapon right away, you can get other pieces here and there along the way. I don't recommend stopping specifically to grind out poetics
I usually just do alliance
https://i.imgur.com/tuUmMpJ.png what does the shield mean?
U can put ur fc logo on it
that you can apply an fc/company crest
fair enough - yeah if you can get enough poetics in a reasonable amount of time it should work - just got worried the things i saw drop really few
do I need to go through special steps, or the logo will be on by default?
Can be applied at a NPC at your GCHQ
You get like 100 extra by doing a duty for the first time
can retainers use unlockable hairstyles?
yes

Sks to comfort > Crit > dh > det

can someone explain why fleche would go before embolden in this opener?
Cause Fleche does physical damage
Thus not buffed by embolden
is there a way to know what does physical and what does magic damage?
Not without Act really
The tool tips kinda tell you
Is there a way to disable mount music? I like riding gullfaxi but the music is become too much
can you add FC crest then put them into dresser?
I don't think so but you can put the crest on it while it's glamoured
how do I fix this I've been losing my mind for over an hour trying to make it work
can u get xp boosts from squadrons or something near it?
no
You can get squadron battle manuals, eventually
do you mean boosts to squadron exp or exp bonuses for yourself
squadron manual boost DoL and DoH only right, or i forget something?
no
there is a squadron manual for combat exp
the stuff you can get from the weekly missions are effectively fc rank 3 buffs
which cover a few different things, like food buff duration or reduce tp costs
Mgp up, which was nice for Make it rain
the survival/engineering manuals are different
if you're thinking of the ones that give x amount of bonus exp for 18hrs
ye that was what i meant i dont know its name : D
multiplicative? cus if not it just like constant increase only
or the big bonus make us exciting and grind for more?
15% more mgp gained for 2 hours, so make it rain gave (+65%)
Is there a good server or channel for Elemental raiding? I'm just getting into it and PF is a wasteland
is there a good way to find ixion fates?
Also, are Rainesama's guides good for savage?
those are useful but what about decrease gear wear? is there any reason to get it or the bonus just not matter
if you're going to be prog raiding
is there any discord out there dedicated for deep dungeons? cause i really want help and resources on soloing heaven on high
understand
i cant find any

Combat retainers have the same item pool, no matter what
There’s retainer venture minions
ah, so one time things only?
they're not one time only
you can get them repeatably
they're rng chance to get venture minions tho
Alternatively, you can just buy them from Marketboard
People love their fat cat
ok, so which 2 classes to pick?
It's going to entirely depend on what you want
I have 3 miners and 1 fisher retainer
i can't find this hair, need to buy it in a online shop?
that seems to be modded
so i need to use the potion for change my pg?
there are mods??
That hair is Form and Function
Not a mod
They come from bunny lockboxes in Pyros or you can buy it from the market board
i can buy the box in market board?
you can buy the hairstyle from the marketboard
You can buy the hair item
No the actual hair
aaaa nice
just search for "modern aesthetic" it brings up all of the hairstyles that can be bought from the marketboard
and then buy the one that says form and function
newbie question, i'm on free trial atm. if i buy the EW pack, can i apply the code for earring and not lose my free trial?
you need to buy Starter edition or Complete to use account wide thing like this
so i keep targeting comrade in battle while panning my camera to check surrounding and/or to find my positionals, any tips/settings i should consider?
if you dont, the store wont even let you pre order
use right click 
i do using right click..
hmm
i see, thank you
You shouldn't be able to click on them if you hold it 
do prog parties that are good enough to beat phase 1 even exist nowadays for e12s? I was told this was a central part of the game but it seems quite neglected at this point. Have all the good players went to clear ultimates or just logged off?
I feel like quite the bad player, wiping even with echo and yet it's my first experience with raiding ever
so people always hold right click? well, i did a lot of minor panning here and there..
Any tips on how to grind bozja relic weapon/mettel without losing your mind..?
So... i just opened a portal to a treasure dungeon... Is there no duty finder for this?
So like... what? I gotta do this Aquapolis solo if i got no people?
put on really good music/podcast/netflix
you can certainly try
I found a static but they don't align with my goals and my constantly available hours to prog e12s and anything else
Guy i can't click on my hunting log for AST i was red mage and i switched does anyone know why i cant click on other logs?
there aren't hunting logs for any of the expansion jobs
they're only for the ARR classes/grand company
Oh
because they already start at dungeon lvls
Because i saw the icon i was so confused
understand, this is extremely late in the tier
many people have cleared, done all their farming for anything they could possibly want, and finished
just new player problems then
they're all just trap parties now, only good players are the helpers who already cleared it lol
naturally, the later you get into the tier the less skilled players you'll find in PF
guess I can only wait for endwalker for any high end content
imagine being a streamer and just summoning people for clears to any content at all
Is there an expensive vendor material which is useful for crafting? 😅
I've reached my 300k gil cap once again and this would be the easiest way to conserve money
in my experience if it's from a vendor it's usually not that great
can you use MB?
MB?
market board?
300k cap means free trial so no mb 😄
right
oh
no unfortunately haha
I've been leveling my crafting jobs everytime i reach the 300k cap
can you hit level 80 crafters on free trial?
i think culinary was the one spending the most money 😅
are there any other scaling gears like menphina's earring?
i see
there's also the ala mhigan earring
which is 1-60
but the only one currently available outside of menphina's is bozjan
so if you already have menphina, bozjan is kind of pointless
Not unless you're doing Bozjan Southern Front for the memories.
Looking for someone to take screenshots of my character. I’m offering 2 mil gil for a session with 3 different outfits and locations
Thankfully. There is an alternative available. You can also get the memories from FATEs in any of the Heavensward Zones. Be warned though, the rule in BSF is that you have to shout for a party if you're farming for memories or mettle.
the haste really isnt that make or break
so if you're leveling, the 30% is arguably more lucrative than 10%
The same rule applies in any of the Heavensward Zones, except for the mettle part.

To unlock BSF, you have to complete the first part of the STQ quests to unlock Gangos.
to unlock Ehl Tou do i need to go through whole ishgard restoration story? i only have completed 2 first quests so i could access fetes so how far i am? ^^'
A prequisite to that is that you have to complete all three alliance raids of the "Return To Ivalice" for the stormblood expansion.
you need to complete the
in foundation
i'm not sure what point you're trying to make, omega...
It's for those that want to unlock Gangos to get access to the Bozjan Southern Front.
Does anyone know the quickest way to lvl 30-50
that would be useful if someone was asking

There's a sit on ground emote
is it this chain of quests?
you mean other than /sit? i mean specifically with legs hanging over edge
They're glitching
those are part of it, yes
They're using an exploit to use the chair sit emote when not on a chair
ok, so a long way ahead, thank you!
is that commonly used? you see it a lot, how do you do it?
I've seen it around, haven't learned how to do it myself
what percentage of the population clears savage?
isnt there lucky bancho that checks how many people have the mount from the last tier
wasnt it like 5%~ of active lvl 80s?
Not all profiles are public to scrape that information from
Does anyone have experience with the XIVAlexander plugin for quicklauncher? Does it function well to make playing cross-region tolerable?
it works
some of the wow group use it, it only helps with weaving. so that experience is much better, but you still have issues avoiding some aoes from the ping
be careful with it as some functions that are possible on it are actually full on speedhacking and cheating.
Avoid those.
i.e. entering the realm of triple weaving
is discovering whole map necessary condition for opening attunement of location?
no
ty
Oftentimes flight is required as a prerequisite before discovering the whole map, as some areas can only be accessed by flying
MNK question... does Form Shift activate Leaden Fist?
what if I go naked Form Shift -> Bootshine
You won't have leaden fist but you'll get the guaranteed crit if you hit the rear
understood
Form shift gives you the form bonus for the next gcd
It's literally just a single use perfect balance stack
Makes sense, I wasn't reading the tooltip close enough. "Additional Effect" is just that (which Leaden Fist is not). Thank you.
when i check my ping in ff14 i have like crazy high numbers like 300 in and 1000+ out, but when i check it via cmd command its only about 100 with some spikes here and there, anyone know why?
You can't check your ping in game
whats cmde to check ping ?
if i eat 2 different food with 3% exp bonus i have 6% exp bonus? 
macros or ability to target enemy closest to mouse?
no

nm i got it
food overwrites if it's not the same
Each time I leveled Sylphs I got a tiny bit higher point quests. Now that I'm trusted, are the 20 point quests still the highest?
Beast Tries that is
but not the exp boost
Where can i get the grad 4 recipes for lv.80 alchemist
all of them give 3% exp, so yes it technically is
is ocean fishing only locked to 24 players in the server? or is it just lobby?
none ingame, you have to ping the server ip in a command prompt
!faq checkping
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
for those specific ones, yes. later expacs give more but also have more ranks
once you get to rank 4 with the splyhs you're basically max
until you do the allied quest
so i can eat multiple different food for have more exp bonus
Yeah I've finished Gnath and Pixies but Sylphs is the only oldschool one I've started and the only one I've seen with increased rewards. Checked wiki tho, seems like it. Thanks anyway!
no, it will always be 3%
you can have 1 food buff up at a time, and the exp bonus is always 3%
ok got it
It's just a set amount per boat. More than one can go out at a time
ah ok so there can be another group of 24
And it's a cross-world instance
Yeah it's just an instance like anything else in the game
Hey everyone, I'm looking for any quality of life tips and tricks for ps4/5 players out there. Currently I'm using a controller and mouse (mouse mainly for UI navigation and hotbar access). Setup below is my PotD setup as that's what I'm focusing on right now. I'm sure we're all approaching how we play on ps differently so it'd be great to hear how others go about it 🙂
what is considered "good" dps for dancer in E9S?
We've got a controller guide which has some miscellaneous tips and tricks

if i pre-purchase endwalker will i get sb and shb on nov 23?
When EW drops, should i be able to use a fantasia before maintenance so i can change race without having to login twice?
you could pop it now if you really wanted to
Awesome thanks 👍
yes, but not before hand if you don't have them already.
If you need, check the FFlogs stats for E9S, and look at the median + upper quartile for DNC to get a better idea
Technically Nov 19th when early access begins.
fantasia doesn't go away until you confirm changes. but yes, you should use the fantasia before maint starts if you intend to race change into a bunny boy
Just dont wanna sit in a 4000 player queue twice like i did with SB :^(
basically just got to hw so im good atm i think
I forgot... Where's the synthesis menu? Trying to start CUL again
That might be unavoidable given the congestion issues they'rte having at current.
Logs > Crafting Logs. Also N on keyboard by default, I think
Logs > crafting log. Default is N
Thanks guys!
Hey, got a quick question: I got an item called "Moonstone" from the Ixal deliveries. For what can I use it?
It's part of heavensward relics
Nothing else?
How and where do i get the other Potion grades for alchemist?
Ah alright, thanks alot
Brought via scrips
Moonstone's original intended use is for obtaining the ARR "relic" tools (Lucis tools)

hey, i'm looking for a group to run A9S unsynced for my anima weapon. Is there a good channel to post it on?
alright ive looked everywhere for help with my issue and i cant seem to get a solid answer besides the whole " its not worth it " answer. I need help. I want to try out FFXIV but i dont know how. Im from NA but Im in SK. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do
the website for SK players doesnt help me because I dont speak Korean, and google translate on my phone wont help either
SK?
South Korea
Apparently its "illegal" to play on NA servers if youre on SK internet. It sounds absolutely outrageous that could be a law.
If they're in SK, they're going to need to use a VPN
Aight
it can have its own issues
I wont be home to the states for another 1-2 years
in that it can trigger SE's like payment defensive stuff
but afaik that's how military personnel deal with it
or anyone who started in EU/NA and then moved to SK or CN
yeah i tried setting a vpn up but it just downs my wifi on my computer
i have no clue why but thats a different issue
Party finder in game will get you better results
unfortunately never messed with a vpn myself so i can't offer any help
can try searching the ffxiv subreddit for posts in similar issues as you
or can try asking in like #technology-discussion for help setting one up
bet thank you

Did you enter the code?

you need to go to steam library and open the keycodes via the context menu
Right click game > steam keys
As always
Your codes are there
Like any steam game

party finder for an unsynced old extreme?
You can't que for it
groyo?
Yes...though you'll probably won't clear with randoms
I would very much recommend against doing ultimates with randoms.
Randoms, huh.
Yes thats how it works. It's in game concentrated recruitment
Vinyl, what is your point? I shouldn't complete with randoms or with someone else.
You'll have a extremely low chance clearing with randoms
ultimates are the hardest content in the game, requiring a lot of coordination and communication.
Like lower than normal
Its doable but its nothing like waltzing into a normal content and clearing in 1 pull
People who are good at it, like Rin, Xenos and stuff occasionally hold party but they're all very top tier players
Who are good at teaching and carrying mechanically
ultimates generally have progression measured in 10s of hours spent
not recommended you do with randoms is at best an understatement
100 hours rule of thumb
50 hours if you're very experienced and play with good people
100 hours is more like the reality for most

Disclaimer: This guide is meant for single target (ST) encounters.
For AoE guidance, use the !faq samaoe or !faq samdungeon commands.
「Level 50 Opener」
➜ Keep buffs up, reapply your Higanbana as close to 0s as possible, Midare goes brrrrrr.
「Level 52」― [Kenki Mastery I]:
➜ Introduces Kenki gauge & positionals on Gekko/Kasha. Use Kaiten exclusively on Iaijutsu (Higanbana > Midare).
「Level 60 Opener」
➜ Read Level 52.
「Level 62」― [Kenki Mastery II]:
➜ Kaiten all Iaijutsu, use excess Kenki on Shinten, use Level 70 Openers.
「Level 70 Bana 1st Opener」>「Level 70 Midare 1st Opener」
➜ Reserve Midare 1st for encounters that require you to move exactly as you need to cast Higanbana with Bana 1st opener (e.g. UCoB Twintania).
「Level 76」― [Tsubame-gaeshi]:
➜ Use exclusively after Midare Setsugekka (ST) or Tenka (AoE), never after Higanbana.
「Level 78」― [Enhanced Jinpu & Shifu]:
➜ Congratulations! You can now study up on the max level rotation and practice it on Innocence.

No

Active =\= harder
hard disagree
not much u can do, purchasing any version of the game changes your service account from free trial to normal
You're just pressing more buttons
which is harder than not pressing more buttons.
Just press them
You see that's where the subjective part kicks in
The rule of "use shit on Cooldown" always applies
can either buy the mac version or install windows through bootcamp and play the windows copy (if you have an Intel Mac), or make another account to play free trial
So just press your buttons
But iirc, some may consider paladin harder than gunbreaker
nah its standardized to being a beginner/new to a class
asking a new player to press more buttons is more complexity than asking them to press less buttons
