[unborn herald]

If your ticket is answered and you get an email form the support Can you answer it directly or do you need to open a new ticket?

[flat basalt]

Accurate, I am sorry :(

[plain python]

why is it bad?

[dense monolith]

It can't go faster?

[flat basalt]

Healer or tank only

[boreal storm]

Ocean fishing is a duty

[mystic merlin]

I was actually going to ask if this laptop would be able to do it without overworking the machine

[dense monolith]

I set my Registration Language on Japanese + English, is it faster if I select the other 2 aswell?

[boreal storm]

So not doing your job is a dick move

[dense monolith]

scary part is, I'm a healer

[flat basalt]

I am on a laptop from 2013

[heavy wadi]

you're wasting a spot if you afk in there.

[flat basalt]

Wow

[flat basalt]

Wonder what's wrong.

[plain python]

but I queue solo?

[boreal storm]

No?

[jovial quarry]

My desktop is relatively old and has only 8gb ram but it can handle it.

[faint flare]

You go in with 23 other people

[little swift]

What are you queuing for @dense monolith

[flat basalt]

It's more GPU intensive than anything else.

[dense monolith]

The Striking Tree (Extreme) for a Blue Quest

''Judgment Bolts and Lightning''

[little swift]

Exs aren't typically done via duty finder

[flat basalt]

Yay got my first mount!

[faint flare]

Yeah that wont pop

[jovial quarry]

Yeah my GPU is just a 1060 and it handles it fine.

[little swift]

@flat basalt #beginner-lounge

[boreal storm]

Don’t queue for Extremes

[faint flare]

No sane people que for extremes and up content

[flat basalt]

I've done Titan and Ifritit via duty finder (extreme)

[faint flare]

You're not sane

[flat basalt]

hehe

[dense monolith]

I've done all my other extremes w Duty Finder aswell

[boreal storm]

But why

PF is faster

[flat basalt]

I dunno? Is there another way?

[dense monolith]

What's a PF

[jovial quarry]

But yeah sorry man but this isn’t a discussion thread 😅

[umbral dune]

30 mins queue, 40 mins clear

[wheat plume]

If I swap actions and they still have some charges left, they disappear ?

[faint flare]

There's a 5% chance to clear in duty finder

[little swift]

You're not meant tonlearn/ prog then on duty finder, party finder is fine for learning

[faint flare]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

don't df extremes.

don't make a habit of it.

[umbral dune]

as in JP with my 3 attempts

[little swift]

Only jp dc uses df for current reclears

[heavy wadi]

when new ones release you'll be hard pressed to clear through df.

unless.. you're on jp, like channy said

[dense monolith]

There was a button for Party Finder, where is it

[flat basalt]

So far I've only used Duty finder for extremes and hard dungeons and it's been fine. Never not cleared. Titan was like 10 attempts but we pulled through

[faint flare]

You were lucku

[heavy wadi]

that was pure luck

[faint flare]

And didn't get mouthbreathers

[leaden ginkgo]

Are there any tools out that helps with collecting notes? Like keeping track of fates etc (Eureka like)

[heavy wadi]

and it won't apply to current endgame.

[mystic merlin]

I was actually going to ask if this laptop would be able to do it without overworking the machine

https://www.brandsmartusa.com/msi/251214/15-6-crosshair-15-intel-core-i7-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-512gb-ssd-16gb-ram-gaming-laptop.htm

[flat basalt]

As someone who is playing on a laptop... don't.

[dense monolith]

So uh. How do I finish this blue quest?

[sullen raptor]

so races give small bonuses how useless are they at top level

[flat basalt]

Unless you must ofc. Like me.

[little swift]

That laptop looks fine from the url info

[flat basalt]

They do not

[mystic merlin]

Why shouldn't I do it?

[little swift]

Otoya this isn't the place to make opinionated anecdotal evidence as good advice

[faint flare]

Literally does completely nothing

[boreal storm]

Use party finder/ Unsync it

[little swift]

Go to #beginner-lounge

[flat basalt]

The game is GPU intensive, a laptop isn't good for that.

[flat basalt]

That's not true, cat bois have +10 cuteness

[sullen raptor]

depends on the laptop

[little swift]

The specs on that laptop can handle this game just fine

[heavy wadi]

that's false

that laptop is fine.

[little swift]

Last warning @flat basalt this isn't the discussion channel

[jovial quarry]

Oh yeah that will handle it just fine. That thing is a beast compared to my desktop.

[little swift]

Go to #beginner-lounge

[flat basalt]

What am I discussing?

[heavy wadi]

yeah it literally has a better gpu than my desktop pc, should be more than fine.

[little swift]

If you're going to make silly comments about cat boys and such

Or post updates about your farm progress

Because neither of those are appropriate for this channel

[mystic merlin]

So I'd be able to run like say... The Steam client and a free trial client at the same time with no problems?

[plush hound]

Starter stats are a few points difference between each other. By the time you hit level 5 the differences are irrelevant.

[jovial quarry]

Easily

[potent talon]

Is there a link to a good fishing leveling guide out there?

[mystic merlin]

@jovial quarry

[flat basalt]

Is there starter stats? I thought there were only cosmetic differences between races?

[dense monolith]

https://i.imgur.com/pZH2ZNi.png is this acceptable lol

[sullen raptor]

so very useless ty

[dense monolith]

Never used PF before

[faint flare]

Tick undersized partu

And say Bonus unsync

In the description

[little swift]

The stats are displayed when you're picking the race/clan

[dense monolith]

gotcha

[mystic merlin]

Nice. Thanks. I was trying to do a bard duo by myself and wanted to see if it was possible. Thanks again

[faint flare]

And let 1 lv80 face roll it

!faq unsync

[zinc orbit]

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/A89hsAL.png

[dense monolith]

Its that bad? Lol

[flat basalt]

Hmm, I never saw any, do you have to activate them?

[faint flare]

You'll need to turn this on in duty finder

[little swift]

But its like 1 -2 points of difference between each race. And they're just mainstat @flat basalt

Its not significant enough to matter when you get 5k plus of a stat at 80

[heavy wadi]

it's like 0.0000001% of a difference at endgame.

absolutely miniscule

[plain python]

how long a fishing trip is available to join when the time comes?

[glossy flare]

I mean, since stuff works in tiers it's actually 0%

[flat basalt]

What's the difference between these two roulettes?

[little swift]

Thats substat tiering

[plain python]

one gives more exp, another gives tomes

[little swift]

The level at which they're available

[plush hound]

I want to say 15 mins, but you want to get in as fast as possible as you can't joing any runs underway.

[faint flare]

Levelling has ALL the story and levelling dungeons in ot

[flat basalt]

You sure more exp and not more gil? the xp is the same.

[burnt relic]

question, does combo potency mean it does more damage in a combo or is it just the sum of the whole combo?

[faint flare]

50/60)70 has the 50/60/70 dungeons in it and gives shit xp

[faint flare]

More

[burnt relic]

neat, ty

[dense monolith]

https://i.imgur.com/tJzl1Qb.png and now I wait ?

[faint flare]

It uses that combo potency when used in a combo

[dense monolith]

Do I get some pretty sound when someone joins or do I just have to stare at my screen

[plain python]

do the 3-dolphin and 3-seagull achievement need you to encounter them thrice per trip?

[plush hound]

only when the 4-man and 8-man threshold is hit.

[flat basalt]

I am just curious, how is roulette the recommend leveling route when it just gives 20k xp? Am I missing something?
I need 3 million xp for lvl

[boreal storm]

Daily bonus

[faint flare]

It gives massive xp daily

[flat basalt]

Ah ok

[faint flare]

Ignore the adventure in need Bonus, that's not the roulette bonus

[olive grove]

Hi, i've a question but i don't know if t's the right place (if not tell me another channel). What is the best gear for crafters/gatherers at lvl 80? Skybuilder for weapon imo but what about the gear?

[flat basalt]

It's for everyone or just tanks?

[plush hound]

You actually need to get the buff from them. It can require multiple appearances to get one buff.

[faint flare]

Everyone

The top line is the bonus

[boreal storm]

The top thing

[faint flare]

Ignore the bottom

It's shit

And barely worth mentioning

[flat basalt]

Yeah so by bottom you mean 20k xp?

[faint flare]

Yes, that's separate bonus

[flat basalt]

The top doesn't mention how much it is though. Is it different depending on what lvl I am or what dungeon I get pulled into?

[faint flare]

Yes

[boreal storm]

It scales

[faint flare]

It's both

It scales to your level and gives more based on what you get

[tribal geyser]

What's the best way to play scholar at 30?

[flat basalt]

Ok thanks

[faint flare]

Lower level dungeon gives more xp to offset the low mob xp

[tribal geyser]

Do I just leave a fairy on guard and spam my heal between dps?

[faint flare]

You don't touch anything on the pet hotbar

You can basically turn it off

And just put place and heel on your hotbar

Use whispering dawn VERY liberally

Like basically on Cooldown

[flat basalt]

Can you queue for Duty Finder when doing Palace of the Dead?

[faint flare]

Yes, matched party

[tiny crag]

What are the priority stats and melds for Black Mage and White Mage?

[faint flare]

Is the duty finder option

[burnt relic]

Low level scholar is ez pz. As a low level scholar, it doesn't seem like mobs don't do enough damage that the fairy can't match it

so occasional heals + whisper

[flat basalt]

Ah you answered my question but you misunderstood. I was wondering if I could solo Palace of the DDead while I am in queue for a roulette

[burnt relic]

and spam ruin, from my experience

[dense monolith]

Are there recruiting discord channels/servers where I can go like ''psst @brazen copper80cutie can u carry me''? oh i pinged someone

[tribal geyser]

So just leave it on guard to have it cast embrace?

[burnt relic]

Yep

[tribal geyser]

Got it

[faint flare]

No cause you can't que for multiple duties

[willow sparrow]

Can you level miner fast with the firmament? I've been told it's good for leveling crafting, but can you use it for gathering ones too?

[unborn herald]

If your ticket is answered and you get an email form the support Can you answer it directly or do you need to open a new ticket?

[cursive ridge]

in general, the only source of job gear sets is the job quests, right? raids and such do not drop job-specific armor pieces?

[faint flare]

Leves are faster but diadem is more braindead and gets you mats for crafters

[willow sparrow]

I don't know what that is

[faint flare]

Yes...Unless you count the dyeable version of the 80 gear from memoria

Diadem is the gathering zone for the firmament

[willow sparrow]

oh

[faint flare]

It's where you get the mats for the receipea

[broken cairn]

Does anyone know if you need to finish the event quests for the ff15 collab event to be able to purchase the regalia?

[willow sparrow]

okay

[faint flare]

Yes

[broken cairn]

Thats what i thought but wanted to make sure. Thanks!

[feral isle]

So I bought this game many years ago when it first launched. If I access that account and subscribe, would I get access to Heavensward, or would I have to buy Shadowbringers or Endwalkers?

[faint flare]

You should have heavensward yes

You can check your mogstation

[feral isle]

Good idea, thanks

[tribal geyser]

Can I purchase a xp boost? Like the one they give to new players?

[faint flare]

Only level skips

But there's a handful of ways to boost xp

[tribal geyser]

Food i know is one

[faint flare]

Food, free company buffs, preorder earrings

Brand new ring/friendship circlet for under 30

[marsh cosmos]

I can’t seem to find them in the online store

[faint flare]

$18 and $10

[last sapphire]

im only gonna shirk my other tank

[faint flare]

They're under additional services on mogstation

[leaden ginkgo]

My main job is MNK, but the internet speed is pretty slow at my new location that I moved, and it's pretty difficult to even put 1 ability without stopping that fast gcd of MNK. My DPS has dropped significantly, and does anyone have any suggestions on jobs whose dps won't drop with slow internet speed?

[cursive ridge]

items 'retired' to the mogstation never, ever get a rerun for 'free' again, do they?

[faint flare]

No

[cursive ridge]

such a bummer. the maid costume was available for free in patch 3.15

[flat basalt]

BLM :D

[jagged holly]

what is the use of golden scripts then you reach lvl 80? from my look everythign now needs white scripts

[final hinge]

Whats the symbol above the name mean?

[faint flare]

Hunting log target

[flat basalt]

Sounds like you want the lowest action per minute class, BLM is probably the lowest.

[final hinge]

ah thanks

[coarse meadow]

Do people use xp buffs for bozja/zandor?

[faint flare]

No

Cause there's no mob xp

[wanton niche]

is this an emote or just for fem miqote?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks. Any others? MNK gcd stops even in usual attacks, so I need DPS with slow gcd

[flat basalt]

There was a list somewhere, lemme find it

[pulsar escarp]

fem miqo cpose

[flat basalt]

Check this list on Actions per Minute https://imgur.com/a/H0VlKvi

[wanton niche]

[leaden ginkgo]

BLM is fine, but I have to avoid more quickly to avoid AoEs, so I'm scared that my attacks will stop all the time by BLM

[zealous fjord]

Any bard player on Light has Terpander lux? i want to see how my current glamour looks with it, before commiting the grind

[pulsar escarp]

I mean that's just the challenge of blm for everyone

[flat basalt]

@leaden ginkgo Another minimalist https://i.redd.it/aoy5ts67tz051.png

[faint flare]

That's why you save your instant casts for movement

[opaque heart]

doing the level50 60 70 dung roulette is good for xp?

[faint flare]

Black mage is mobile when it wanrs to

[flat basalt]

It's a challenge for everyone, lol. In WoW Melee has it really bad compared to range.

[faint flare]

Lol no

Second worst roulette for xp

[opaque heart]

which is best?

[flat basalt]

Is it good if you've already done the other one?

[faint flare]

Levelling alliance and msq

[faint flare]

No its literally the second worst roulette for xp

[fair pumice]

hmm can I confirm the difference between fates and fate relays? I know fates are those pink icons event throughout the map, while fate relays are random boss spawns.. ?

[pulsar escarp]

you can do all of them if you want but once a day max

[flat basalt]

But there once a day, right? So if you got no option

[faint flare]

You do

[pulsar escarp]

then just go highest level dungeon

[faint flare]

Called dungeon spam

[flat basalt]

What's my option?

[flat basalt]

Which one?

[faint flare]

Whatever your highest level dungeon

[pulsar escarp]

what I said

[faint flare]

As they said

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks a lot! It seems that BLM is the only job whose dps won't drop with slow internet speed

[pulsar escarp]

[faint flare]

Ignoring dungeons that give poetics

[flat basalt]

These are my options

[pulsar escarp]

everything that isn't a level cap 50/60/70 that's the highest that you can do

my friend

[flat basalt]

I've done Leveling, which is the next one?

[pulsar escarp]

go to the dungeons list

oh well

if you still have time and want to

alliance roulette is good for exp

as is MSQ

[flat basalt]

MSQ?

[pulsar escarp]

main scenario

[flat basalt]

So Leveling
Alliance
Main Scenario

In that order?

[pulsar escarp]

order doesn't matter

just do them however you want for exp

[flat basalt]

Is Trials better than level 50/60/80?

[wheat plume]

Does zadnor give more exp than Bozja? for leveling up jobs

[pulsar escarp]

it shows you how much bonus it gives on the side

[leaden ginkgo]

Yep, but I think you don't want to do main scenario every day

[flat basalt]

They're all the same.

[faint flare]

Identical xp

[wheat plume]

thxs

[flat basalt]

Yeah I am asking order, not spammable.

I've done leveling so not sure what's next. Was thinking trials.

[pulsar escarp]

why do you need an order

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you interested in healer, tank, or dps?

[pulsar escarp]

whatever you have time for

[flat basalt]

DPS

[leaden ginkgo]

Which level?

[flat basalt]

I am 58

I've finished Shadowbringers

[hazy totem]

Why is it so hard to get a group for Alphascape 3.0 >.<

[sterile stone]

so correct me if I'm wrong but Minor Arcana basically replaced Play for AST 50+ contents right?>

[leaden ginkgo]

Do potd until Lv60 and then do hof until Lv70. Then, go to Bozjan until Lv80

[pulsar escarp]

no

what

I mean

you can

but roulettes should take priority over potd and hoh

[flat basalt]

Oh ok. I haven't started on PoTD as well. Will it be faster to get a group if I am at lvl 58?

[leaden ginkgo]

Levelling roulette (and maybe alliance) are fine, but the rest aren't really worth to do after waiting for around 10 min

[flat basalt]

So order per day:
Leveling
Alliance
PoTD?

[pulsar escarp]

whatever you have time for is what works best on roulettes

[heavy wadi]

the order literally doesn't matter

and you should ask in #beginner-lounge at this point

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, I think that's the most efficient for DPS, but you might get bored in potd after a while

[pulsar escarp]

I wouldn't advise palace of the dead but if you wish to you can. the way you decide whether to do POTD or dungeon is if your highest level dungeon queue is over ten minutes or so.

yeah

[boreal storm]

Just do thing, level up

[sleek needle]

Lvl, alli and msq are the big exp hitters, rest are for poetics mainly

[flat basalt]

Thanks dude, I'll get to it.

[topaz estuary]

is this hard to make ? why is it worth 200k in the market

[boreal storm]

Nobody wants to deal with coils

[leaden ginkgo]

Doing dungeon runs is more efficient than potd if the waiting time is less, and you get less bored from it btw

[flat basalt]

Yeah but I am trying to figure out which of the roulettes to do outside of Alliance and Leveling.
I've done both today.

[boreal storm]

Just do the ones you feel like

[leaden ginkgo]

MSQ can get around 50% exp, trial can get around 10%, the rest are too small

[pulsar escarp]

you use minor arcana if divination is on cooldown and your seals are full. otherwise your number one goal is to get divination with your cards

[flat basalt]

Oh ok, thanks.
So main scenario is next, then trial.

[pulsar escarp]

not sure if it's been replied to yet

[sterile stone]

I see, thank you

so minor arcana doesn't give seals?

[faint flare]

No

[sterile stone]

oh that explained it

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but the queue for main scenario is pretty long, and 1 dungeon takes at least 30min, so you need to have your screen on for at least 1 hour (or even more)

[pulsar escarp]

read the tooltip, but it it gives improved dps to target in exchange for no seals. this is outweighed obviously by the importance of divination lol

[flat basalt]

Ok, thanks!

[sterile stone]

I mean it didn't mention that minor arcana doesn't give seals

would be great if it did tbh

[pulsar escarp]

good point actually

guess it's a fuck around and find out skill

[faint flare]

It doesn't mention it cause it doesn't give seals

Other cards say they do

!action The Balance

[zinc orbit]

**the Balance** : lvl 30 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Seal when used in combat

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[pulsar escarp]

it just assumes that YOU assume that it doesn't give seals by not putting it in the desc

can check lord and lady in profile

[faint flare]

If a skill doesn't say it gives a buff then it doesn't

[sterile stone]

oh so it only gives it in combat

[pulsar escarp]

!action Lord of Crowns

[zinc orbit]

**Lord of Crowns** : lvl 50 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 8% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 4% for all other roles.

[graceful apex]

Is there any page where I can see what content is unlocked after a certain quest? let's say || death unto dawn ||

[open ember]

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content

Something like this???

[long island]

If I make a retainer be a combat class do they get hides for leatherworking?

[graceful apex]

That's great, thank you

[faint flare]

Yes

[long island]

Nice

[hasty turtle]

i've noticed that no quests in shadowbringers have upgraded mount speed so far

did they remove this gimmick?

[faint flare]

No

There's only 1 ground tier speed

Which you buy

[hasty turtle]

oh, so it's not tied to MSQ anymore?

where do you buy it

[faint flare]

Gemstone tradwrs

Shadowbringers areas will get tier 2 next expansion

Current expansion zones only have 1 tier of ground speed

[hasty turtle]

is this how it normally works?

[faint flare]

Yes

[hasty turtle]

i see i see

[willow sparrow]

What level do I need to enter firmament with miner?

[faint flare]

10

[willow sparrow]

alright thanks

[pulsar escarp]

I'd call that reasonable

especially if others are on board

[faint flare]

It's bad manners to leech

So

Kick them

[flat basalt]

Btw just for reference, I got 900k from Leveling roulette and 400k from 50/60/70 if that's valueable.

[proper sand]

New to using retainers, I've got a warrior retainer leveling under me, but I'm unsure if they're the best job for what I need them to do. Looking to do blacksmithing/armorsmithing/goldsmithing and get muns from quick ventures. Should I have a warrior for that or have them be a miner/botanist?

Got no clue if non-combat classes can do quick ventures, still new to the system.

[wheat plume]

in the cutscene after defeating Diablo Armament in Save the Queen, it appeared "Chapter Fourth", is that because that chapter ended? or because there is more plot after that?

[faint flare]

It's over

[wheat plume]

any chance or indication that we'll have the follow up to bozja in EW (or anything written by Matsuno?)

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but you have to spend around 20min to complete 50/60/70, so it's not a really efficient roulette

[flat basalt]

How do you get the time into that?

[flat basalt]

Is that the queue time or extra length to the dungeon?

[pulsar escarp]

length of dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

Completing 1 dungeon takes time, so if you choose to go in dungeons, it's better to just enter the highest level dungeon

[pulsar escarp]

realistically on average a level cap is 15 minutes if nothing bad happens

[leaden ginkgo]

No, something bad always happen

[flat basalt]

So to reiterate so far:
Leveling gave me 900k
40/50/60 gave me 400k
and trials (Garuda Hard) gave me 380k.
I don't remember what Alliance gave, and I haven't done Main Scenario ones yet.
I will check back :)

[pulsar escarp]

lmao

I think this is being overthunk

roulettes dailies just give extra exp for all that content so do what you can, and prioritise levelling and alliance if you don't have much time under your belt.

[flat basalt]

Yeah but I miss how you got the "extra 20 minutes" for 50/60/70, how do you calculate?

[heavy wadi]

Just do the roulettes.

[leaden ginkgo]

Trials take 5 min if nothing bad happens, and the max time is 15 min if something bad happens. You get the same exp in 50/60/70 in 20 min if nothing happens and 30 min if something bad happens. Thus, it's better to do trials and not 50/60/70 if you don't have a lot of time

[flat basalt]

I see, thanks for explaining, that makes sense.

[outer plaza]

May I ask any midman Here trusted recommended?

[leaden ginkgo]

Plus, you encounter a lot of inexperienced players in 50/60/70 (like dps whose dps is lower than tanks or non attacking healers), so from my experience, something bad happens more frequently in 50/60/70

[flat basalt]

Why would that be the case for 50/60/70 and not leveling roulette?

[outer plaza]

May I ask any midman Here trusted recommended?
Any 1@_@?

[green grail]

what midman, and recommended what

[pulsar escarp]

yeah uh, exactly what is a midman

[leaden ginkgo]

Because experienced players just go to highest level dungeons for levelling, and only beginners who don't know the efficiency do 50/60/70

[flat basalt]

Thanks again man.

[heavy wadi]

Otoya you should go ask in #beginner-lounge. You really don't need to overthink roulettes and optimization.

[green grail]

entrance to a zone later on, for the level 80 raids

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, that's true. Many people are interested in leveling, so you should get a plenty of answers there

[pulsar escarp]

Also the 50/60/70 thing is possibly inaccurate, players tend to run through all roulettes for the sake of tomes and or just the extra exp that comes from it.

either way it's roulettes, so don't overthink it too much

[cursive ridge]

this is probably a 'no', but can i add... more hotbars?

[heavy wadi]

There are a bunch of hotbars, go to hud layout

[leaden ginkgo]

Just do the contents that you like. The most efficient might be holminsterx6 for example, but you get bored after around 2 rounds

[cursive ridge]

i've... ran out of space on those

ish

[pulsar escarp]

oh. wow then uh, prolly not

wait how is that possible

you're talking extra actions and stuff right, not your basic layout

[heavy wadi]

3 hotbars should be plenty for your basic skills

[cursive ridge]

5 hotbars for current job, 2 for job gear sets (wont be enough eventually), 2 for rarely used skills and 1 for keybinding macros

[heavy wadi]

5 hotbars?

huh

what job?

You really shouldn't be using 5

[cursive ridge]

i'm not using them fully (yet) (or if ever)

[pulsar escarp]

doesn’t matter what job I only use three and a half

[heavy wadi]

Consolidate your hotbars then. That's how you get more hotbars.

[cursive ridge]

i'm also using them as a visual guide for modifier hotkey groups

[pulsar escarp]

you might want to organise rather than cluttering even more

[cursive ridge]

as in, hotkey, alt+hotkey, ctrl+hotkey, shift+hotkey are all together

[pulsar escarp]

that’s fine but do you use them all

[heavy wadi]

uhhh don't do that

Just put them on three.

[cursive ridge]

3 wouldn't be enough already

[pulsar escarp]

#protips-and-ui might help

[cursive ridge]

i can see doing 4, but i'm only in heavensward, so there will be more buttons later

[heavy wadi]

http://imgur.com/3FBe0p6

3 is literally the max you need

For Any job in the game.

[pulsar escarp]

See I did the same in HW in free trial and organised my hot bar in advance

[heavy wadi]

Having more than 3 is extreme

[pulsar escarp]

was space for everything

[sacred oracle]

can free trial player get ff15 mount from the incoming event? i check in page but it says nothing about this, wanna try get my friend to try <nvm got answer>

[pulsar escarp]

I use three and a bit only because I also put mounts and macro backups on my main hot bar

[heavy wadi]

I use like... 6 or 7. For my entire setup

[pulsar escarp]

yeah my entire set up is around six

[heavy wadi]

Including gearsets and emotes and markers

[cursive ridge]

my 5 hotbar block looks like this (turned on empty slots for the screenshot), i'm not using all of the keybinds here, but i am using different keybind on other jobs

[pulsar escarp]

why

[heavy wadi]

Dude that's waaaay too much

You don't need that many keybinds at all oml

You can easily condense that down to 3.

[pulsar escarp]

Get rid of the ones that aren’t easy to reach

[cursive ridge]

i did

[pulsar escarp]

Shift six?

[cursive ridge]

that's why there aren't any actions bound after 7

[pulsar escarp]

your hands are huge

[heavy wadi]

dude seriously

[cursive ridge]

i can easily reach shift 6

[heavy wadi]

You don't need 5 bars.

Not even for smn

[pulsar escarp]

And try and keep similar skills on same bars so you don’t have different binds for different jobs

You need to declutter.

[cursive ridge]

nah. i need more hotbars.

[heavy wadi]

so many wasted keybinds and slots

That you won't ever use

[cursive ridge]

i'm only level 60

[heavy wadi]

No you dont.

I'm level 80 and I use three hotbars as smn.

[pulsar escarp]

Nah that’s a great question. Weskalber on YouTube is a good start to learning your levelling rotation working up - hitting 80, you can go to more advanced places like the balance discord -

oh

Where did you go

[heavy wadi]

Go ask in #protips-and-ui. They'll say the same thing as we are.

[boreal storm]

I’m 60 and only used 2 hotbars

[heavy wadi]

Thats... absolutely excessive for endgame.

[wanton niche]

are those always randomized or is there a fix way to go?

[heavy wadi]

It's random

[spring lintel]

Im doing atma books for arr relic weapon and i wanted to ask about leves - if a certain leves is not available from a leve guy (yes i have the highest GC rank) then how can i reroll available leves?

[pure karma]

most popular crafting class?

[pulsar escarp]

Many will advise levelling them all together as they share gear

[twilit arch]

grab a leve and complete it

[pulsar escarp]

all are useful for different stuff so you might as well

[spring lintel]

can you do a leve and be in a duty queue?

[twilit arch]

yes, but if you accept the queue mid leve you're going to have to restart the leve

so you'd effectively use up 2 leve allowances

[cursive ridge]

it looks fine with empty slots hidden. here's a 54 RDM

[boreal storm]

That’s still 5 hotbars

[stark sleet]

What's wrong with having 5 if it's the same buttons that could be packed onto 3?

[heavy wadi]

No it doesn't. You do not need 5 hotbars for any classes.

[stark sleet]

It's just spaced out in a nicer way

Let the man play lol

[heavy wadi]

He's asking for more bars, and that's the way to get them. To condense it.

[stark sleet]

I see, I didn't scroll up to see the whole conversation. ty

[cursive ridge]

is there a better job switching solution than just having 3 bars with gear sets?

[twilit arch]

make a collapsing hotbar macro

[cursive ridge]

i'm intrigued, what's that

[twilit arch]

there's a pinned guide in #protips-and-ui

[heavy wadi]

^ although that could use a minimum of 3 bars

[cunning loom]

you could use two bars for it

[heavy wadi]

Depending on how you do it.

[cunning loom]

one for the main menu, 1 for a set of like-classes

[cursive ridge]

ah, that just saves screen space

[cunning loom]

and hotbars as well

[twilit arch]

you would only need 2 hotbars for it

[gleaming topaz]

which tank is "better"? the one with sword and shield or the one with the two handed axe?

[cursive ridge]

i just have a very transparent 60% scale hotbar in the corner of my monitor

[twilit arch]

And you're using hotbars that you're not utilizing anyway

[stark sleet]

If I'm understanding right, does the issue comes from having multiple classes, and trying to make the different keybind setups work for each?

[twilit arch]

since the macro makes use of class hotbars

[pulsar escarp]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[cursive ridge]

nah, i know about hotbar sharing

[pulsar escarp]

Whichever you think looks cooler

[stark sleet]

Gotcha

[pulsar escarp]

You can play all of them anyway eventually so do what you want

[cursive ridge]

oh, that's pretty clever

essentially using hotbars that the game saves for jobless classes. very clever

[boreal storm]

I just pick em from the gear set menu

[versed jetty]

Is there a point on Mettle when you reach rank 25 ?

[faint flare]

Yes, buy permanent buffs

You need to finish Dalirina and turn in the final quest to unlock the honors

You spend 20mil for 3 honors to get permanent buffs

You need 200mil to max out one of the buffs

[heavy wadi]

And the max you can hold at a time is 26mil

Ish

[faint flare]

25.7m

[flat basalt]

I am maxed out on allagan tomestone poetics, what do I spend it on except gear?

[proper sand]

Hey, question, can non-combat job retainers do quick exploration missions? Asking because I want to both get muns from quick ventures and use my retainers to the best of their ability for gathering.

[proper sand]

If you want to turn those into gil, you can go to Idyllshire and turn them into tier 3 Thanalan or Shroud soil, just gotta check the market board.

[twilit arch]

yes, gatherer retainers can also do quick ventures

[proper sand]

Okay, so if I'm doing blacksmithing/goldsmithing/armorsmithing, there's no point in having a WAR retainer?

[versed jetty]

You can also stack up on some Relic materials if you're planning on doing them sooner or later

[twilit arch]

combat retainers can be nice since they can gather mob drops

[faint flare]

And you'll need leather occasionally

[proper sand]

Uncertain if I need those for anything I'm gonna craft.

[twilit arch]

You are

because there are going to be items that require leather

[faint flare]

You need basically all crafters

[leaden ginkgo]

Is msq duty roulette good for leveling?

[boreal storm]

They all link into each other

[thorn thicket]

Also if you’re planning on leveling Reaper and Sage, maybe buy a near full set of level 70 tome gear for each (excluding the belts)

[twilit arch]

and you're going to need ltw to make skins into leathers so unless you intend to spend gil

[flat basalt]

Is that stuff you sell on the marketboard?

[proper sand]

Yep, gotta see which is more profitable.

[flat basalt]

Fair enough, some vendor Idyllshire in, then?

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[proper sand]

There are three vendors next to each other in Idyllshire, the middle one turns poetics into pearls or ore, the vendor to the right of that trades one or the other into topsoil.

[flat basalt]

But all of them are tradable on the marketboard, I just gotta check prices, thanks.

[proper sand]

It's really just Shroud or Thanalan topsoil that sells from 'em.

[flat basalt]

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying that.

I am almost lvl 60 with my BLM, so I was wondering if I should get lvl 60 poetics gear or use the the tomestone for something else. I really need gil, so that's a good suggestions, thanks.

[proper sand]

Anytime.

It's usually only 20-30k gil though, nothing extreme.

[flat basalt]

That's a lot ^^

I had 600 and I got 100 now for buying gear from marketboard to continue with MSQ

[cursive ridge]

you should not buy leveling gear from the market board

that is a gigantic waste of gil

[forest lark]

Will the transfer to Oceania data center be free once it comes out or we need to pay?

[flat basalt]

Ok, good thing I didn't then.

[cursive ridge]

MSQ provides you with tons of gear upgrades in the process

[primal gull]

Poetics gear completely replaces the need for gear from market board at least until you reach 80

[flat basalt]

No one is arguing with you, I am not sure who or what you're talking about.

[vague warren]

how do you add a new hotbar

[flat basalt]

But for continuing on patch 5.x you need AVG item lvl to do the MSQ.
Buying was faster than farming dungeons hoping a piece will drop.

[faint flare]

Yes it will, they'll be classed as NEW

So transfers are free

[forest lark]

Oh good 👌

Is it out with endwalker or itll be earlier

[twilit arch]

later

[cursive ridge]

go to HUD Layout in the main menu, find the hotbar you want, click on it, go into its option and enable it. or go to character config into the hotbar section and enable it from there

[faint flare]

6.1

[forest lark]

Aww that's a long wait 😩

[flat basalt]

I heard it's mixed with South East Asia and Japan. Must be rough.

[proper sand]

So, just doing the logistics about my retainers. I'm thinking that with my two retainers, a miner and a botanist will give me the best bang-for-my-buck if I'm doing blacksmithing/goldsmithing/armorsmithing?

[flat basalt]

Why not two miners?

[cursive ridge]

the usual advice is 1 combat 1 gatherer

[proper sand]

I need wood for most weapons.

I'm still unsure what the combat class is really gonna get me resource-wise.

[cursive ridge]

monster drops

[faint flare]

Monster drops

Like leather

[twilit arch]

monster drops which are arguably more annoying to get than the stuff botanist and miner can get you

[proper sand]

Granted, I've got no clue what the high-level weapon recipes need outside of metal and wood.

[cursive ridge]

i would wager farming some monster drops is more annoying than farming mining/botanist

[twilit arch]

since you can out and gather those yourself

[proper sand]

Fair enough.

[forest lark]

And one more thing, how long do free transfers on new dc stay around before u have to start paying? In case I'm not available then

[cursive ridge]

for example, i wanted some chimera felt from heavensward, so i went to try and farm it myself and it's atrocious, there's like 5 mobs and you spend a lot of time waiting for them to respawn

[twilit arch]

was about two weeks last time iirc

[cursive ridge]

sure, the retainer only brings you a small amount, but it's an amount you can set and forget

[forest lark]

Ah I see ok thanks

[sick linden]

yeah, combat retainers are actually super useful

they're especially good at the start of expacs where there's a ton of people leveling and not a lot of hides/bones/meat to go around

[vagrant crescent]

If I do Palace of the Dead alone then will my gears still be level sync or no? Lol XD

[faint flare]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

aetherpool armor/weapon progress is shared across all your potd runs

[mild moth]

do sentinel and rampart stack?

[faint flare]

They stack multiplicitely

Like all buffs

[mild moth]

60 percent smg reduction?

[faint flare]

No

[flat basalt]

Is there a Moogle Beast Tribe in HW? I am at their "base" and I don't see any

[faint flare]

0.8 X 0.7 = 0.56

[cursive ridge]

their unlock quest is somewhat hidden

[faint flare]

So 44% mitigation

For using both

[vagrant crescent]

So if I have 85 arms, and do lower level floor all by myself, it'll still be level sync just like the actual party?

[cursive ridge]

behind a yellow quest

[flat basalt]

Ah, thanks. That makes sense for Moogles

[faint flare]

Basic percentage maths

[cursive ridge]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Moogle_Daily_Quests this page has the prerequisite quests

[flat basalt]

Thanks dude.

[mild moth]

Lol thought u meant 0.2x0.3. ok ty

[cursive ridge]

it's actually a set of 3 chains

[flat basalt]

Is there a Marketboard in Idyllshire?

[faint flare]

That's not how you multiply percentages when doing reduction

[mild moth]

ok gotcha

[primal gull]

Nope

[willow sparrow]

how do I go to the diadem? I'm lvl 19

[cursive ridge]

lvl 60 and msq progress past heavensward 3.0 ending required

[faint flare]

The tent on the left of the skybuilder board

Has the entrance npcs

[cursive ridge]

*on at least one combat job

[willow sparrow]

ahh

[mild moth]

for the believe in the sylph msq, I can't interact with the designation?

[boreal storm]

What emote does it say to do

[cursive ridge]

ah, i remember now, yeah it's the emote one

[vague warren]

what are retainers? I see them mentioned a lot but idk anything about them.

[mild moth]

ohhhh loll missed the /look

[ripe hound]

Basically your Market Board Minions

[cursive ridge]

your slaves with 175 inventory slots each

[mild moth]

ty all

[ripe hound]

Yeah your slaves

[vague warren]

wtf lo

[ripe hound]

You can also pay irl money for more slaves

[flat basalt]

Where do they sell unidifient ore?

[cursive ridge]

idyllshire

[ripe hound]

You can solo erp with them

[vague warren]

how do you get one

[faint flare]

Retainers vocates

In main cities

[flat basalt]

Yeah but... is this the vendor?

[ripe hound]

You do need non free trail tho

[cursive ridge]

yes

[ripe hound]

So you can’t have slaves if you are free trail

[cursive ridge]

switch categories on top

[flat basalt]

Probably not call them that.

[primal gull]

Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Other)

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[flat basalt]

Thanks bud

[primal gull]

is where I think they are

[cursive ridge]

it's in (special arms)

[vague warren]

@ripe hound I'm subbed i just don't pay alot of attention to stuff

[opaque heart]

is there any guide on how to level certain crafting class from 1-30?

[ripe hound]

Good, then you should grab your retainers

[primal gull]

Might actually be under special arms, I just know it's one of the bottom menus

[proper sand]

Hm, what's the more annoying gathering job to do? Botanist or miner? Deciding for my second retainer.

[boreal storm]

Crafting leves, Ishgard restoration, GC turn in

[cursive ridge]

they're identical

[ripe hound]

Just pick a main city you like and find the retainer manager at the shopping street

[opaque heart]

ishgard restoration for lv 1-30?

[vague warren]

@opaque heart i just mined a ton of gems and mass crafted them

[ripe hound]

I think Ishres begin at lv 20

[primal gull]

From 1-20 literally just craft things in your crafting log, you get bonus XP for each new thing that you complete and you can get most of not all of the materials from the vendors in your guild

[ripe hound]

You can do it at lv 18 I think

[primal gull]

it's 20 for ishgard

[opaque heart]

my inventory is so full of materials...

[boreal storm]

So craft with them

[ripe hound]

Yeah I think the 20 is soft requirement not hard requirement?

So like, it’s just harder at like lv 18

You can still craft the recipe

[primal gull]

pretty sure you need 20 to unlock the restoration crafts to begin with

assuming you're unlocking them for the first time

[zinc orbit]

[boreal storm]

The crafts don’t work unless you’re at that lvl

[ripe hound]

Hun, I’m probably wrong then

[primal gull]

regardless 1-20 is super quick, just run down the list in your crafting log and make 1 of everything

[twilit arch]

need to be 20 to do restoration, yes

[primal gull]

after 20 you can start doing leves or restoration

or grand company daily turn ins

[opaque heart]

selling stuff on market is such a pain

[tiny crag]

Are there more leveling roulettes, or just the lvl16 one? And why are the only bonuses for it always healer or tank? does that mean DPS members don't get any bonuses? 😓

[lethal birch]

The bonuses are minute

[cursive ridge]

note- if the item has a shop selling price on its tooltip and it's something low like 5 gil, don't bother listing it, if you no longer need it for crafting (check recipes from that item with right click), just vendor them

[ripe hound]

It ok, there are worse UIs out there

[faint flare]

There's more roulettes at 50

The daily bonus is for Anyone

Ignore the adventure in need Bonus

It's shit

[lethal birch]

But yeah, DPS generally are aplenty in this game, and you'll only really find them in need on Alliance roulettes that you'll unlock later on

The adventure in need kinda just tells you that you'll get a faster queue if you use that class, most of the time

I think?

[opaque heart]

the mythril ore has 2 gil price but 180 on market...

[junior herald]

It sucks having 25 minute queues

[cursive ridge]

not that one

[tiny crag]

So does the listed bonus on leveling just mean those classes get extra extra?

[cursive ridge]

it will say "Shop Selling Price:" which means it can be bought from a vendor

[faint flare]

A miniscule extra

[lethal birch]

I had a 40 minute dun scaith queue whilst I was doing that raid for the first time, I know what that feels like

[ripe hound]

A tiny extra extra

[vocal horizon]

uwu hi
please can someone help me clear twintania on phoenix... im losing my god damn mind

[opaque heart]

ok

[reef carbon]

guys, is it worth buy exarchic gear on MB now?

[opaque heart]

any other useful tips?

[junior herald]

Last night msq roulette took 30 minutes just to put me in Prae

[boreal storm]

Unsync it

[ripe hound]

Yes

[opaque heart]

on how to manage my inventory?

[lethal birch]

[vocal horizon]

i am just a level 50 nub

[tiny crag]

ok, cool. that makes a lot of sense, thanks guys! 🙂

[twilit arch]

there's 2 bonus listed. one that just has arrows for exp/gil and one that lists the flat amount. the one with arrows is the daily roulette's bonus. the one with flat amounts is the adventurer in need bonus and not worth that much

[wispy ivy]

hey, should I do coil of bahamuth as soon as i unlock it?

[cursive ridge]

every once in a while, go through your retainer inventories and sell off materials you no longer need for crafting

[ripe hound]

I use Exarchic for all my jobs I don’t have better gear with

[lethal birch]

I mean, you've got two months till the start of EW, if you think it'll let you do the content you want to do, sure

[ripe hound]

Exarchic is so good value there is basically no reason to use anything g below it

But on the other hand I do hate money so...

[primal gull]

Coils are savage difficulty content (fairly hard)

[ripe hound]

You need a lv 80 friend usually

[primal gull]

they have some story but they are not required for msq and are very very hard to do in duty finder with randos

[cursive ridge]

@opaque heart don't bother holding onto fish, the vast majority of it has no purpose and can be desynthed. only a few can be used as ALC/CUL reagents, and HQ fishes may be occasionally bought by a lazy person for their GC turn-in

[ripe hound]

Tbh I really really wish they remake a Coils Normal difficulty

[opaque heart]

mythril ingot has shop price but its "restricted" what does it mean?

[twilit arch]

it means the vendor that sells it requires you to do something to unlock it

[cursive ridge]

means it's purchasable from a vendor that requires something to unlock, like a beast tribe

[ripe hound]

Like, the story of coils is just simply way too important to miss

And it always felt weird going back to do coils after you finish everything

[boreal storm]

That in particular is from the fire lizards

[ripe hound]

Lots of story introduction for Ali and Alphy

[cursive ridge]

i watched it on twitch and just now got to the point where alisaie comes over to ishgard and she's saying that 'we left stuff unfinished'

kinda annoying

[reef carbon]

i believe that most of the exarchic gear i can buy, at least for now, will be lacking one thing or another but i will do my daily duty among other things to get enough gil

[opaque heart]

is there a material shop where I can buy all mats?

all in one shop

[cursive ridge]

kinda? but not really

[boreal storm]

Market board

[opaque heart]

since I seen that iron ore can be bought at the guild shop

but not in the trading valley

[cursive ridge]

every vendor is missing something

[boreal storm]

You gotta get it yourself

[ripe hound]

Yeah Market Board is pretty complete

[cursive ridge]

Material Suppliers in the player housing districts have a big array of stuff to buy in one package

[ripe hound]

As long as you have money

[cursive ridge]

but again, not everything

[ripe hound]

Like, paying up to 500k gil a piece for an item that take 3 min to grab

[opaque heart]

I see people selling stuff which is obtainable from npcs..

[cursive ridge]

laziness tax

[spring lintel]

Whats better in your opinion, 4.0 or 4.x? (and if 4.x then which in particular?)

[cursive ridge]

or forgetfulness/silly tax

[boreal storm]

Because they know some lazy person will buy it

“I’m already on the MB, might as well buy that thing”

[lone spruce]

Any advice for crafting the grade 4 artisanal skybuilders tincture? My gear is pentamelded and whatnot, I just can’t figure out a good way of achieving a high rating

[little swift]

You have to use the random statuses to your advantage for expert recipes

[lone spruce]

Sometimes stuff is cheaper on mb than the NPC price

Yeah I was trying that but idk

[little swift]

Check the guide in #doh-dol-lounge for tips on what might work

There are also openers and finishers

[gentle arrow]

do I find dungeons quicker if I select all languages

[faint flare]

Yes

[dull crescent]

Are there any guilds that are recruiting atm ? Just made my first character on Shiva server 🙂

[flat basalt]

@leaden ginkgo So a buddy tested for me at the same level for Alliance.

At lvl 58/59
Leveling: 900k.
Main Scenario: 970k.
Alliance Raid: 480k.
40/50/60 : 400k.
Trials: 380k.

In case you were curious. It's nice to have numbers behind those since they aren't visible.

[willow sandal]

how much time does it usually take for the preorder trinket to arrive?

[flat basalt]

I got it instantly as I registered the code. But was logged out as I registered the code.

[willow sandal]

oh I see

[junior herald]

Woops replied to the wrong person

[junior herald]

Delivery moogle items can take awhile. If you registered the code on the website while logged in with your ffxiv account you have nothing to be worried about

Took me almost an hour to get a mount through Mogstation once

[willow sandal]

damn moogles

[junior herald]

the moogle sending your letter is a dps main that's why it's taking so long

damned dps queues

[sick linden]

the delivery servers are a lot more congested these days too

there's a small "request item delivery" button at the top of the mail UI you can try pressing and it'll sometimes help it along

but patience is your best weapon imo

[junior herald]

Btw, when it comes in you won't miss it, you get a little letter icon that comes up on your server status bar where it shows your realm and the time

[flat basalt]

What is

[twilit arch]

the heavensward relic quests

[flat basalt]

Do you need ARR relic weapon to upgrade to Heavensward?

[faint flare]

No

All relics are separate

[twilit arch]

relics aren't connected

[junior herald]

Is it worth grinding out relic weapons from prior expansions for anything but transmog?

[flat basalt]

So Stormblood/ARR/Heavensword relic weapons are mostly for glamour, right? Since they are past expansions?

[faint flare]

They're only glamour

[junior herald]

Gotcha

[flat basalt]

Oh ok

Do you carry on between expansions? Like upgrade them or something?

[junior herald]

They are VERY drippy

[faint flare]

No

[faint flare]

.

[junior herald]

just installed Gshade and it's working but I'm a bit overwhelmed. what are your favorite presets if you use it?

I play on PS5 and made macros to help with ST buffs/heals. I currently have it set up with 2 macros - one to Focus Target, and another to target the Focus Target. I has thought that setting a focus target would mean my heals and buffs would automatically go to them if I didn’t select a target before using the ability, but it doesn’t (just goes to myself) so I have to use the target ft macro first. Am I missing something obvious?

[sick linden]

for gameplay, i use Espresso Glow/Pastel Warm with most of the performance hit options like DoF and bloom turned off

it boosts the colors and gives the game more of a pastel look without being overwhelming and doesn't eat into your FPS badly

[junior herald]

yeah this is basically what im looking for. i dont want some insane overhaul i just want to make the colors pop

[deep mantle]

hey i could need some help, is it normal that the launcher just download with 2.27mb/s ? :/ tried some ports and the thing with the internet explorer

[plush hound]

I personally use yaz_gameplay boost. It's a higher saturation shader. Might be overkill for some people though and you REALLY want to turn it off for the latest Nier Raid and dungeon as the higher saturation obscures the AoE markers.

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a question regarding housing. How do you not lose it? Do you log in and go in the house? Or do you need to interact with something in it to count?

[spring lintel]

is eureka dead

[plush hound]

Inside the house once within 45 days of the last time.

[junior herald]

@sick linden @plush hound do i just select my preset and then close the window? the tutorial didnt make it clear how to actually apply these

sorry ive just had bad experiences with Reshade and dont want to break my game

[sick linden]

yeah, you select the preset from the dropdown list and it should apply it

there's a toggle to turn the shaders on/off that you might need to hit, it's shift + F3 by default

[leaden ginkgo]

@plush hound do you have to interact with an object or retainer to not lose it? I wont be able to log in for about two weeks.

[sick linden]

it'll show you all the shaders that're loaded on the preset in the menu, so you can selectively disable ones like DoF

[faint flare]

No

Just enter

[plush hound]

just need to go inside the house.

[proud sable]

Guys, how is Scholar on max lvl with DPS? I am currently at 35 And dpsing is So boring

[faint flare]

Healer rotations are very straightforward

[sick linden]

it's basically the same, but you have more healing buttons you need to hit between casts

[faint flare]

You get energy drain for some extra dps when you have spare stacks

[proud sable]

I have 61 White mage and dpsing feels pretty good

[sick linden]

AST is the highest APM of the healing jobs if you want a healer that feels super active, but it's still more focused around party support than DPS rotations

[junior herald]

thanks guys

[proud sable]

I see, I guess I will not find anything like disco priest in wow haba

[junior herald]

what healer is most similar to BLM?

[proud sable]

Haha

[iron oracle]

anyone know how long it usually takes for mounts to come in the mail

cause its been a few hours

[junior herald]

my fat moogle took 50 minutes

[faint flare]

Anything from the store can take up to 24 hours

Depending on server backend congestion

[wispy ivy]

How important is unlocking every hard diff dungeon right away?

[boreal storm]

Not

[faint flare]

Completely unimportant

[iron oracle]

alright, my fat moogle's been in limbo for 3 hours

[faint flare]

Ignorable entirely

But it's free poetics

[junior herald]

good taste

fat moogle is the only store mount i liked

[wispy ivy]

So those versions of dungeons are just remains of arr endgame content?

[faint flare]

Yes

[primal gull]

yes, pretty much

[faint flare]

No content is removed

All the blues that opened up is the old arr endgame

All the content that came out during the wait for heavensward

[iron oracle]

as soon as i said that it came lmao

[junior herald]

yup classic

[final hinge]

Is there X-Mogging?

[junior herald]

i was sitting there refreshing the delivery moogle for like 15 minutes and when i decided to just sit and be patient it came

[boreal storm]

What

[final hinge]

Transmogging

[junior herald]

yeah

[boreal storm]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[junior herald]

does the game run better in Fullscreen vs borderless window?

to the point where it's noticeable

[final hinge]

Oh nice!

thanks

[glacial tundra]

hey I'm looking to upgrade the game from basic windows trial to the steam version would anyone have a step by step guide I could follow so I don't end up in an awkward situation ?

[junior herald]

you cant

[glacial tundra]

but reddit said I could

[junior herald]

there might be a way? sorry if im spreading misinformation. but i had the same situation where I started with windows free trial and wanted to move over to Steam and I ended up having to contact customer support and I just played on the official Windows client in the end anyway.

[boreal storm]

Square Trial to steam full game is possible

[glacial tundra]

how

[potent talon]

Is the weather Eorzea-wide or per region on the map?

[foggy viper]

region locked weather

[potent talon]

Ah okay. Where can I look up what the weather is going to be? I need to catch some fish in the rain for a fisher quest

[primal gull]

There's an NPC called a "skywatcher" that tells you what the next weather pattern will be

[sleek needle]

Think there's a web page for it too

[primal gull]

Yeah, check this page https://ffxiv.pf-n.co/skywatcher

[potent talon]

Sweet thanks!

[primal gull]

You can plug in a zone and a weather condition

[sleek needle]

Garlandtools has it too, ofc

[pallid frigate]

Hi all! Is there website that lists the story in order? I'm a little Neurodivergent and have a tough time following. I only remember big story changes.

I just want to be able to follow along with my progress

[leaden ginkgo]

im literally doing /lookout at the glowing spot but its not working...

[faint flare]

Stop targetting

Thr minion

[leaden ginkgo]

it worked

ty xD

[faint flare]

It doesn't work when you're targetting something

[calm nacelle]

Hi. Can anyone explain to me what does "Manually adjust visor" do? Or am I overthinking it and it's just plain moving/removing parts of headgear (depending on headgear)?

[faint flare]

Moving the movable parts of headgear

/Visor

[calm nacelle]

So for example this one, it only moves up and down when either I toggle it on the C menu or when I type /visor

Is that right?

[primal gull]

Right

[calm nacelle]

Thanks. Was hoping it would automatically go down once I engaged an enemy or something 😅

[dense monolith]

Is there any shortcut for ''Rising Stones'' seems to be that I've had to go there atleast 20 times now

Same w waking sands

[sick linden]

there's an aetheryte by the rising stones in mor dhona

[junior herald]

do other players see when I hide my helmet or modify my visor?

[sick linden]

easiest way to get to the waking sands is to go to limsa lominsa, take the aethernet to the arcanist's guild, and then go west to the ferry and take it over to thanalan

[calm nacelle]

I think so

[sick linden]

yup

[junior herald]

you're right, but this method actually isnt optimal for people playing on consoles using hard drives

[calm nacelle]

But Waking Sands got them letters, right? Consumable letter that teleports you to the area

Haven't used up all of mine

[sick linden]

yeah, if you've got any waking sands teleport tickets left those are optimal

[twilit arch]

ye, you get aetheryte tickets for waking sands

[sick linden]

but if you're hoofing it then limsa's the fastest

[twilit arch]

only if you have good loading times

[sick linden]

true

[junior herald]

ssd gang

[twilit arch]

otherwise, its same as if you tp'd to horizon and used the porter/ran

[dense monolith]

There's bad loading times?

[twilit arch]

yes

[dense monolith]

yikes

[sick linden]

if you're using an HDD then yeah

[twilit arch]

plenty of people still have shitty computers

[sick linden]

limsa is especially bad b/c it's the main hangout on most servers

[junior herald]

console players have bad load times in every game, this is no different honestly

or i guess an old computer with only hard drives

but like

[sick linden]

so there's like 100 people the game needs to load into memory

[junior herald]

why

[dense monolith]

my friend has a pc that is out of the stone age and it was reasonably fast for him so hence why I got surprised

console makes sense tho

[lethal birch]

Are they playing off of an HDD

[dense monolith]

ye

[lethal birch]

Ah

[flat basalt]

Is there a way to scale down in lvl when doing Stone Sky and Sea?

[twilit arch]

nope

[exotic minnow]

So my entire data center is congested, right? If I transfer one of my characters to another data center for free to get the gold chocobo feathers, do ALL of my characters get those gold chocobo feathers (similar to how the refer-a-friend system works) or does only that SINGLE CHARACTER get those feathers? I'm dying to get the Twintania mount and I just need a few more feathers to get it but I want to keep my main on my current server...

[twilit arch]

the character that transfers gets the feathers

[faint flare]

Only that single character

[exotic minnow]

Dammit

[faint flare]

And it's only free to crystal

[exotic minnow]

Like transferring to Crystal? Cuz I have the message popping up in Faerie on the Aether data center and all the worlds aren't available to make characters on Aether

[faint flare]

It's only free to transfer from CONGESTED servers to Preferred servers

Only Crystal is preferred

So if you want to transfer out, that's the only option

[exotic minnow]

Okay cuz I was gonna transfer my alt to Crystal, but I just was hoping the feathers would be given account-wide like the referral system worked

[opaque heart]

there are no ishgard levequests for lv 20 or im blind

[tawdry plank]

hey, do i need to pay endwalker on the official store to benefit from the pre orders bonuses ?

[twilit arch]

ishgard leves are for 50-60

[verbal scaffold]

After which quest exactly do you get the free fantasia ?

[twilit arch]

lvl 20 leves would be in quarrymill

[twilit arch]

The ultimate weapon

[twilit arch]

So long as you pre-order, you'll receive a code to apply to your mogstation account. don't need to debit immediately to get it

[final fiber]

is there a way to lock triple triad again, or get that shit off my map?

[tawdry plank]

all right, but if i want to pay rn, am i able to pay it from somewhere else ? since it's a code

[twilit arch]

you can request to debit now on the SE store

in the order pages, there should be a manage order button, it'll take you to a page where there's an option for it

[west pond]

If I complete a company leve, how do I do it again?

I forgot to equip my atma weapon to do the leve and I completed it but when I check the leve list it’s not there for me to do again

[vague warren]

am i dumb how do i send retainers on ventures?

[lone spruce]

You need to complete a quest to unlock ventures

[agile laurel]

you need to unlock the ability to via

otherwise, it's in their UI

you also need to assign a class to them

[lone spruce]

Then you need to assign your retainer a class

[vague warren]

it says i need 40 ventures to get modern vocation and assign a job

[sleek needle]

Grand company is a great way to get some venture coins

[lethal birch]

[violet moth]

so squadrons are killing me, but do you wanna constantly change yoru cap of 200 points to fit a specific mission?

[cunning loom]

looks like if you had another archer instead of a lancer it'd fix it

[twilit arch]

unless its a flagged mission, you go forward with only hitting 2

[faint geyser]

Aside from crafting scrips, and the marketboard, since as a F2P currently in ARR I have access to neither, is there a good way to get battlecraft demimateria III/

?

[violet moth]

wait ankuno, how does that work? @cunning loom

[twilit arch]

desynthesis

[violet moth]

oh wait, specific classes ahve different stats, oops

[faint geyser]

Ok, but desynthing what is my point

[violet moth]

idk why that just clicked

[cunning loom]

maybe just join mount farms and roll for the weapons

[faint geyser]

Yeah fair

[twilit arch]

pretty much anything combat, there's a very big list of things you can get battlecraft from

[faint geyser]

Was considering farming anyway

I need battlecraft III specifically, dunno what I can get that from

[twilit arch]

pretty much anything 50+

[faint geyser]

Like Fieldcraft III has some very specific sources from what I can find...

[twilit arch]

so long as you're at or higher desynth lvl than the item

At this point tbh

a lot of those lists are incomplete

and tbh has always been somehwat imcomplete

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to check reports i got ? i was doing bard performance tab with copyrighted music in limsa lominsa with a 3rd party software for like 2 hours

[proud willow]

There's no way to know if you're been reported unless a GM contacts you

it's super super unlikely that someone would report you for that though

[leaden ginkgo]

good to know, is it clear when a GM contacts you ?

[twilit arch]

yes

[violet moth]

im having an issue where i cant find my questgiver for white mage quests lol

[twilit arch]

because the whispers get spammed in every single chat box

[proud willow]

they will teleport you to a jail zone if it's to administer a warning/punishment

[twilit arch]

or that ^

im level 60 but dont even have asylum yet and neither eschiva or raya o senna is giving me a quest

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
