yea i thought he was quite something else super strong
yea im lvl 66 in hw patch quests working on that đ
Though I wouldn't comment on a healer's healing unless you actually die
nah, and drk is so much fun, i like war too, pally only lvl 35 atm
I just turn my brain off on all tanks and just go
They probably just snapped back because they thought you were shitting on their healing
i never mentioned his healing once either till i had to run away and noticed lol
No job is not role worthy 
been loving this game its been great for the most part, wish scholar was a little better i try making it work but its tough with the other 2 healers as strong as they are
true i agree
it is, i feel the same way i love the barrier healing i try to ignore reviews and play my own way, ast been my fav whm so boring, and sch is in the middle
and at 78 you get enhanced sacred soil
Which gives sacred soil a regen
literally just hit 62 haha
Sacred goes from "neat to have" to "i'm saving a stack JUST FOR SACRED"
oh whatt lemme see
But we're getting more discussiony, so let's continue this in #beginner-lounge
Generally, when do expansions go on sale for half off, or whatever the percentage is?
I changed my last name in game and am having trouble finding a way to change my verified name in discord? It is still only recognizing my old name and I have deleted the codes from my oldest one profile
Does anyone have a guesstimate for the full time it takes to do the ff15 event quests?
Any ninjas here? I am trying out rogue (currently level 17) as my dps class, and I just would like to know what would be important for me to keep in mind as I am leveling. For example, in terms of rotation should I focus on maximizing dps first and then my healing abilities or vice versa. ty
Do your 1 2 3 , off globals on Cooldown
You won't be able to use trick effectively until 45
wdym?
your main combo abiliies
^
oh, I see ty
At 45 you get the last mudra to use Suiton to trigger trick attack
also when you unlock mudras, using hide will reset your mudra stacks
. I will keep that in mind once I reach level 45
you unlock mudras at 30
ok
The first at 30
Does the music soundtrack for all mounts the same? I only have an Ostrich so we just curious.
no
no. Some mounts have the same generic sound track, but that's it
In the Macro what's the difference between Individual and Shared?
At first I thought it was like Hotbar share in the settings, where Individual meant only that one class will have those macros. But no, all my classes have macros even in Individual so I don't know what's the difference now.
What is the best soundtrack in the game? Frontline is pretty cool.
Individual is for that character
Shared is on all characters
shared is for all characters
Individual is only for that character
can we only join Free Companies that are within our data center?
in your server
So it's character based, instead of class based? So if I make a new character instead then it won't have Individual macros I made?
I personally enjoy the sound track in ishgard and and the soundtrack when you fight livia
correct, the individual macros you made would not be on that character
Well ok. Thanks pal, lol XD
so my bard is level 70 and ive just come back to it, does anyone have a hotbar setup layout for the skills /
using a mmo mouse if that helps
Im working on getting access to Ishgard but I still have 30 or so level 50 MSQ's to slog thru
Should I add all my macros in Shared than? Atleast til I run out of space?
Do I unlock dancer when I reach HW or when I reach lvl 60?
60
only HW jobs need MSQ progression
awesome thanks
are the level 50 relic tools worth doing the class quests for or should i just be making the higher level ones and grinding out the class quests?
is this only usable at 70? For the Life of the dragon
or at 70 it is just stronger?
I think jump description will state that it grant Dive ready when you reach there
Right now, it just do more damage
thanks
Do you think they will ever add more than 15 Gramour Plate?
Just thought 15 was abit too small is all considering there's like 20 classes after Endwalker, 31 if you count Professions too. Lol XD
What instance is the zone "Ultimacy"?
Alright so I've been having this problem for a hot, hot while, but I decided I might as well ask now or forever deal with it being broken, but for some reason I'm unable to resize my chat log and I'm also unable to drag tabs out into their own individual chat logs. Is there a way to reset this or something?

? you cant drag top right to resize?
Nope! Everytime I click and drag it just doesn't go anywhere
I've been dealing with this ever since I started playing again last month
Same with dragging a tab out, doesn't work either
Off the top of my head, 15 is enough for combat jobs that shares gear
I can imagine them adding more, but probably not enough to include crafters and gatherers
the boxâ size can be misleading .. try hovering around til your cursor becomes double arrow?
Are you using Quicklauncher?
It does become the double arrow, just doesn't work
Yes, but this problem was persisting before I believe
I originally started off using the normal launcher
/xlplugins
Installed Plugins
Chekc simple tweaks if you have it installed
it has a setting that can block chat movement and resizing
I see. I don't want to share just to fit 15, I want all of them to look different. But oh well, lol XD
God is it that simple
Yup.

I want it to be 25 at most. Think 5 is for me for all the professions, but I want atleast all the combat ones to look different though. Lol XD
Currently, we have 4 tanks, 3 healers, 2 melee dps, 3 ranged Dps, and 3 mages who shared gears within the same role
Adds up to 15 exactly
BLU doesn't count because it can't reach the cap yet (last I check)
Endwalker will add 3 more: sage, Dragoon, and reaper
Like for Ninja and Monk. It's gonna have a similar gear, but I want it to be atleast a little different. Like Ninja has ninja like mask on, while Monk has a different mask but the clothes is similar. Ya know? Lol XD
Similar, but not the same. Just want it to be unique. Maybe that's just me though, lol XD
Ah, i feel bad for my friend then, his static has 2 dead weights in it
Do kinda wish we could have a plate per job 
Yea, lol XD
At the very least you can kinda cheat it
The jobs that don't share gear, you can glam their sets separately
so a ninja set looks like ninja, dragoon set looks like dragoon
while monk and sam cry in a corner
What you mean separately? :3
Make a plate that has a look you want
Apply it to your Dragoon
Change the plate to something else and unlink it
Because Dragoon doesn't share gear with anyone else (yet), the look will not clash with other jobs
Granted you have to re-make the plate if you change gear but yeah
Just apply glamour directly onto Dragoon gears from the glamour dresser or your inventory
Why the extra step in making a plate for dragoon
y'know what i meant anyways
I control camera and movement with left / right mouse buttons pressed. Recently as I play with my ui, I notice unresponsiveness. I think i am clicking on hidden ui elements or something on my screen. Is there a way to set ui elements to have âclick throughâ ???
If they're hidden, you can't click 'em
Then must be some other problem
I see, lol XD
Plate is just a loadout to quickly glamour gears
Or to be linked to gearset
You can still apply glamour directly using glamour prism on inventory items
What's the fastest way to get white crafter's scrips besides custom deliveries? I have my deliveries done for the week so that's not an option.
I see. Thank you :D
it shows all of them, theres more than one page
does retainer stat matter if i just spamming quick explore? they are in their 70s and im getting lv80 gear now, with lv50 gear equipped
item level for combat retainers, gathering rating for DoL retainers. Get above a certain value and you get chances at more and/or HQ results.
ah yes, both of them are DoLs
The just the gathering rating. If a piece of gear has no gathering stat it can be ignored.
how high should i aim?
Ideally as high as possible. There's no recorded answer definitively for a minimum value.
basically until you stop seeing the "if your retainer had better gear"
so getting the iLv500 is their BiS?
which is iirc roughly the same ilvl as combat, i428
i never saw that... they said that? ._.
its a system message
ultimately tho can just put them in white scrip gear if you're willing
or like cheap facet
alright, thank you for your answer everyone đ
how do people's characters naturally change poses while afk
its in char settings in the menu
randomize idle animation
you can choose to change poses with the /changepose command in various stances (idle, sitting, combat) and after a few seconds your character will switch to the one you selected.
When do in-game events go live?
A bit late replying to this, but it's not for the reason @faint flare posted - we have people actively working on content for other jobs. It's started off as casters as this was the role most of us were involved with in content creation. I'm restructuring things on our end with our existing materials before we scale up to include more, rather than rushing to have them all and it being more of a mess to resolve
6h from now
Thank you! Wow, what perfect timing to be finishing ARR MSQ
i was wondering but are you able to visit aether people from the crystal servers?
or how does that work
not at the moment, no
ahh ok
If you're referring to data-center travelling, it hasn't been implemented yet
oh, yet đ

Anyone here that can help me with the community finder page?
trying to set something up
for my free company
Mogstation
Pay an additional 2 dollars every month
you reset them to level 1
what is the lv 80 crafting gear set i need to make?
aesthete's
nope, it just pops in a few hours
@slate arrow ty
gas prices bout to go up soon in Eorzea
Does the server we choose when creating a new character matter?
I know the datacenter is important, but I am confused about the servers within the centers
Lmao
So can i just hop from one to another?
the only things that your specific server matters for are FCs and marriages
that's really about it
ff15 event is like a month
Wow thanks guys
Which heal skill should I be using as a low lvl white mage?
Cure 1 seems mana efficient but too weak for big pulls while spamming cure 2 drains my mp so quick there's a risk of me oom
if i am looking to farm ilvl 500+ gear, is spamming eden raids a better way or doing the last nier trial?
Cure 2 and use lucid dreaming on Cooldown
I need hlp. trying to explore Dravanian Forelands, got flying, can't seem to find what I'm missing
You won't run out of mana unless you're overhealing
got the island northeast, can't seem to get the cave :(
The ff14 event starts at 1am pst right
found it. finally! took me 2 hours
What's Goblinol used for?
I saw it recommended as something to spend excess poetics on to sell on the MB.
it's used to make solvents to craft certain gearsets afaik
it's probably not the best choice anymore
Oh okay.
Also, I'm having trouble equipping a dungeon weapon on my retainer.
It keeps telling me, "You already possess one of that unique item."
Oh wait, I think I see the problem now.
I've got another question, this time about what I can only assume is a game setting. Occasionally, my friends and I are battling and a weird lock on symbol appears on an enemy and focuses our perspective on it, even zooming in. What is this? It's nearly killed us a few times. lol
My retainer has the same weapon in his inventory.
is there a way to auto translate text in a macro?
press tab
type in several word of skill/ability name
tab will search for partially match
When should I start using materia? I heard it's important but i'm not entirely sure. I'm level 37 atm
max level aka 80 right now
Nobody should be letting you die because they don't like the way you play, that's an asshole move
For clarity, as a melee you should never be using your ranged attack if you don't have to since it does little damage
there are almost no situations in which a NIN would have to resort to the dagger throw GCD though
but yeah that's a dick move
general idea is each done their best even other play bad
so you can still report that
if you boost a job you should learn your rotation though
then that person's just being a dick

when does the ffxv event start
4,5h
in a few hours
5 hours...
you could probably be doing mudras to do stronger ranged attacks but I don't play ninja so
ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
in a perfect world, you would've had mudra charges available to make better use of the downtime but yeeesh
imagine being that critical of someone's damage in a regular dungeon
I suppose also, just stand in the attack and make him adjust. That's the actual best strat if we're being honest
don't actually do that part
but yeah, don't worry about that astro
cause people get too comfy with running roulettes and forget why they exist
so why isn't my squadron ready for this misson?
looks like I filled out most of the requirements
including 2 stats
Flagged Missions auto-fail unless you have all 3 stats
damn ok
You'll need to reinvest some of your physical into mental.
Leveling up your squad will also help meat this requirement.
Well, as a DPS, you have to try not to get hit in the first place.
Probably his first time there so understandable to need heals in a dungeon youâve never been in
(Easier said than done), but you shouldn't be reliant on heals.
Of course, it's your first time in that dungeon.
So totally understandable.
hmm all jobs maxed out doesn't mean that he knew how to play the job
job level means nothing
^
If you knew the dungeon you wouldâve toyed around wit the rotation a bit to have a mudra charge ready for when you are in a mid range dodging something. There youâd use your ruiton instead of daggers @leaden ginkgo
this ff15 event, how long does it take to complete?
!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)
it's not wrong per say it's just the last resort
Not really â wrong â , better than most melees who just donât do shit when they canât be in melee range @leaden ginkgo
you have a month to complete 3 quests and get 230k mgp
it does not answer the question of lengh
should not be that hard
ok
you could do it in a day most likely
ok, thx
There's a way to make Chocobo smaller or bigger? Lol XD
no
you need to play lalafel
scales to your race
So I'm a White Mage. I white mage because I enjoy the simplicity of the class, and it allows me to weave survive/heal/attack... However, i would like to give a Tank Class a try and I'm having a hard time deciding between Warrior or Paladin....
Which one would you say is the easier to use classes?
warrior
Oh I see :D
^
but fun
fells good
big hits, very strong self healing at higher levels
I'm told it doesn't have really any AOE attacks... So how would you grab groups of mobs in dungeons? o:
Or is that "Overpower"
a cone aoe
every tank need an aoe
and they will get it first compared to other classes
overpower, mythril tempest and decimate are your aoe skills
Avoid using those abilities as melee.
You are usually literally better off doing nothing
reason being that they interrupt your combo which leads to greater loss overall
unless you're going to be away for an absurd time like 3 gcds or something
I think as long as you avoid aoe and not bother healer, you should be healed
ehhhhh not really if youâre not in a middle of a combo n ainât got mudra charges thatâs literally dmg loss to â do nothing instead â
The one that annoy the most is when you greed in dungeon and make them unable to deal DPS
You're usually in the middle of a combo or have mudra charges
if you're not, then yes you can use it
but generally it's a good rule of thumb to avoid using that stuff
because in most fights you can keep melee uptime
If I stopped healing everytime I was outDPSing a dps , Iâd be banned from all the reports lol
No reason for that heal to do that tho jus sayin
but ye itâs a good thing to keep in mind that throwing daggers is ass
DPS should only given ogcd party heals
shouldn't spend gcd heals at lv 70, unless you receiving too much damage
Is it possible to like use a macro for crafting level 80 4* difficulty foods gauranteed HQ without using any HQ ingredients? O_O. if so, is it possible with Aethestic full pentameld?
that healer suck is for sure, it just that as a melee, range skill with 120 potency is too small
im assuming its possible and about to spend alot of resource to pentameld my cooking primary and secondary weapon.
Please tell me the narrarator from heavensward is in the rest of the game
the guy who's narrating is the guy who you speak to in quest
fortemps
thats amazing
it still has its uses
you still need it sometimes, that's how you measure where to stop to drop doton on savage raids
If you get kicked out a cross-world party, will it tell you that you've been ejected, or will it just say, "The cross-world party has been disbanded?"
disbanded means disbanded
what does min iLvl do in duty finder? i know it syncs your iLvl to a certain amount, but going in without min iLvl also syncs you, so what's the difference?
if you got kicked -> you left the PL's party
that's the text
really should just ignore the guy, he's rude
It's a dungeon..
you can just spam your aoe 1-2-3 and you still do decent damage as a NIN
the normal ilevel cap is significantly above the requirement
min ilevel is... minimum ilevel.
min ilvl is the ilvl required to enter the instance
It should be written in the description
read the instance "requirement ilvl"
Hey everybody! So me and a couple friends are thinking about trying to run palace of the dead for the first time, and I just had a couple quick questions-
- Is getting to floor 200 doable with 3 people, or should we look for a 4th?
- Is there a certain recommended team comp for reaching 200, or can it mostly be done with any setup?
Solo is extremely difficult mind you
4man would be recommended for clearing's sake
also if you want to go for floor 200 you should ensure your aetherpool weapon/armour are maxed or close to it
hey how do you solo Nael deus Darnus at lvl 80 dps?
save your burst phase when the map changed
when He appears, start doing the burst while surviving the tower knockback
i get stuck when golems come and one grows super large and wipes me
pick the golem that close to each other, burst one
I see, thank you!
and then burst the second, then finish the furthest golem
ok got it
can I preview my character as other races without having a fantasia?
You would do that by creating a new separate character
or using your retainers
hmm, I guess that makes sense. Wish I could see them in my own glamour plates though instead of just the defaults..
buy retainer fantasia and use it on your retainer
it's cheap on mb, 2k each maybe
and see if that works for you
Hi, I'm having problems setting up Switch Pro controller on the steam version of the game. Does anyone know how to get it to work? It'll recognize it as an xbox controller, but it'll just play as if I was on Desktop configuration instead of a game configuration
A good group can kill before the 2nd intermission with the shield you smack
You should basically never see the rotating cleaves with a decent group
From what I remember others trying it, you'll need to use external programs for steam to recognize the switch controller.
how many minutes is that
I wouldn't know anything personally since I don't play on PC/Steam
oh you don't need an external thing for the pro controller
@stray forumdo you have the pro controller enabled in the steam controller setings
so what spells do i need as a blu to speedrun 70 dungeons?
Yeah I have it enabled
right around the 7-minute mark
ultravibration, ram's voice
I'm trying to set up the x360ce as well, but no luck
final sting, any aoe stuffs
the more primal/trial spells, the better
is that an external program
yeah
I only know DS4 actually, but not sure if it works with switch pro
I tried setting it up after it failed normally
but DS4 works for PS4 and PS5 controller
that I'm not sure sorry
A Quick and Easy tutorial on how to Connect your Nintendo Pro Controller to your Windows PC with DS4 Windows. Just connect it to your Windows PC with either USB Cable or Bluetooth Connection, download DS4 Windows, Install it, Run it, and you should be good to go!

Hello. Is a solo Blue Mage the fastest way to run a dungeon for gear?
If it's just a dungeon, wouldn't running it unsynced be better?
Lemme try that out
Assuming its a relatively low level dungeon?

Hey im rather new and saw that the Regalia Type G is coming as soon as the next reset / tomorrow. What is MGP and is it hard to obtain 200k of it?
what is regalia type G sounds awesome
In 3 hours
Sounds great, what will most people be doing to obtain it?
Im level 25, am I able to participate?

im thinking on leveling up my RDM as my first secondary job, any advice on whatâs the quickest way?
already finished all msq
roulette/deep dungeon?
Realistically is possible to beat ARR within a month
wonât the queue time be long as a dps?
But fashion report might be an issue if youâre not leveled enough to equip the stuff
deep dungeon won't. roulette may. do other stuff while waiting for queue pops
Combat Beast tribes help too
well ill try to complete ARR
thanks ill try, another question is where do I purchase a set of lv 50 gear? i donât have accessories
if you're already at 50, I think the revenant's toll/mor dhona vendors may have stuff for sale for gil. otherwise, use tomestones of poetics and buy accessories that way from the rowena's representative vendors in capital cities
!faq poetics
For more information
They need accessories
buy accessories before relic weapon stuff
hey guys, super sorry to just come in here is ask to solve my problems. i am getting the issue every time ti try to download the game, the download stops at exactly 1.37% evertime i try to download. i cant find one else with the same problem as me. i have enough disk space and have tried redownloading many times.
the download bar started and stopped a few times for me. let it go for a while?
Are you redownloading? Or restarting the download
Just keep opening back up the launcher, itâll eventually finish
can you make do with ironworks gear until lvl 60?
Not really
you ideally want to replace it around 54-55, since defense stat on gear jumps at that point
Ironwork is good up to lvl 55 dungeon
Accessories can last longer since they don't use the defense stat
after that can i just buy from a shop? Or do i want the HQ stuff they give in the quests?
Note that level 53 dungeon drops i130 gears (not ironwork, but same ilvl)
HQ stuff
Or dungeon gear
NQ stuff have lower stats
Never use vendor gear post ARR
past level 50 you ideally want to stop using NQ vendor/crafted gear as a whole
Emphasis on NQ
the difference in stats from NQ and HQ start being more severe
so do i keep running the dungeons to update my gear then?
yep
I got it to work and just in case anyone else has the same problem as me in the future, I'm gonna explain my process now. So I actually turned off all the controller support from Steam and I plugged in two controllers. It wasn't until then that the switch controller I was using showed up, but I still couldn't select my controller for some reason. I plugged out the 2nd controller that I wasn't gonna play on and it defaulted to the right controller and I was finally able to get it to work.
NQ is like what, about 20 ilvl lower in stat?
slot-dependent
to use level 80 weapons as an example, the i480 crafted weapon when NQ has lower weapon damage than the i430 job-specific weapon
Friendly reminder that only crafted gears have NQ/HQ variations, with HQ having the correct stat matching their item level
Dungeon, tomestone, raid gears etc always have the correct stats
Anyone here have experiece editing

what class is best for the npcs in squadrons?
Beast still makes you pretty tanky, not counting the HP restoration
do some classes aoe mroe then others?
okay @obsidian patio
IMO, Gladiator for tank, and then Archer/Arcanist for DPS
arcanist and archer for dps absolutely
and no alternate choices for healer
well thats already what i was given as my first 7 recruits
what do I use Tomestones on?
!faq poetics
For Allegory and Revelation, they're spent in Eulmore in the southwest section of the top floor
it does when you can fly
you need flying
you need to find all the aether currents in the zone
once you do, you unlock flying
did you get the compass
they will give you a compass
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
current story quest?
yeah you're not there yet
"Divine Intervention" is the quest that unlocks the ability to earn expansion flight
which is right after the split quest chain you're on.
Any clue on what the primal mounts will be for 6.0?
so you're either on the quest right before or 7 more quests depending on which person you started with
completely unknown
Your guess is as good as ours
We got ponies, birbs, doggos, and dragons.
As a first time free trial user should I ignore everything except the msq and the class quests?
All four of which are kind of Chinese Zodiac animals.
This is more suited for #general-discussion
I don't want to level too quick by doing all the side quests...
Yes that would be the usual way to play
Burn the heretic.
Since you're playing on Crystal, story and class/job quests will be more than enough
Blue quests
unlock content or features
Don't listen to them, the Hildibrand quests are mandatory.
how much extra exp we got from adventurer in need?
How does me being in crystal matter?
does DRK's self healing scale with something else than Healing Magic Potency derived from Mind? or does it just become completely irrelevant the higher in levels you go
Hildibrand is a blue quest so it doesn't count as a side quest
Not very much. It's not worth running just for the in need bonus
It's just a tiny bit extra if you were already running the daily roulette anyway
it scales with the amount of damage you do
Worlds on Crystal have the "Preferred" status which gives you a buff that doubles all experience gain for each class to level 70
are you sure? the tooltip says Cure Potency: 300
it doesnt scale via mind
300 potency at 30 is much different than 300 potency at 80
thats only for healer potencies
:0
if it scales with damage done, how come its tooltip doesn't mirror Life Surge?
well i want to level up my tanker but this alliance raid want DPS and healer most of the time
so i wonder if the extra is like 10% or 30%
It shows the amount of exp on the roulette
healing potency and damage potency and things like that aren't equal across roles
And itâs nonexistent
How do you level the other classes after you are done with the msq? Do you just grind and farm?
spam leveling dungeons for EXP
ignoring the potency aspect, if you say it scales with damage done, why doesn't it use the wording of "Absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP"?
for DRK it means if you finish 1-2-3 you heal 1,5 time more than abyssal drain on 1 target
It heals you, stop asking questions
i want to know the math
it's probably because Life surge is an effect that stays on you for multiple seconds
And souleater is a single instance of healing
so i am lvling my weaver right now and use a macro and spam ishgfard items
BUT sometimes the macro cant do the last action in it because i am missing cp
normally when the macro works i end on 8 cp
but sometimes the last action(1 standar touch) cant be cast because i miss cp
why? what happens. it happens like 1/10 times
no one know the real math, and dont need to
What do I need to write in a AST macro to say something to the player I'm rezzing?
enter the command for raise then just type in the text on a different line
something like /tell <t> ressing you or /p ressing <t>
When I wanna rise I only press a button, do u have what exactly must go in the macro please?
i just wanna say something funny the the same button im using to raise
it would be like
The healing on souleater/abyssal and other things like war's storm's path essentially calculate the same way as damage does
it's a separate roll, and I believe the heals have a tighter range, but any character stats that increases damage output will increase the heal by the same amount
although you'd want the first part on multiple lines in a row to minimize the chance of the macro failing
is the name of the action "Raise" or should I replace that word with the name of AST rezzing
MSQ quests' level requirement is absolute right not a range?
Yes
GREAT thxs
All quests are like that
wasn't sure if MSQ was different, thanks
Don't forget a <se.7> for good measure to make yourself hated
This isnt really a mechanics question or anything but has anyone had success playing with a friend?
I have a friend I know in person who wants to play with me but we can only play like twice a week for a couple hours and idk about it...
if you have a similar pace then sure
liek you mean trough MSQ together?
tbh the MSq really doesn't support it well
Yeah MSQ and levelling our classes together and stuff
Leveling alts together and endgame is simple enough
We are both very new to the game
That's because it doesn't scale with damage done, healing potency on your GCD combos is a direct heal done on yourself based on tank stats
yeah if you 2 can play at the same pace i would say it would work pretty well
yeah the game is weirdly coy about telling you what affects your healing scaling, unless i'm blind
coy at best misleading at worse
deliberately done to obfuscate to enable bad play
you can point a lot of enix decisions to this ultimately
How can I make one macro to have the same icon as an action
Which dungeon is best to run on level 20s?
halatali
in zadnor/bozja, the drop rate of field notes depends only of the stars # ?
to an extent, yes
what's the drop rate for each star number?
Why doesn't Firebird's music match the opening screen for Heavensward like the Ninetails does for Stormblood?
hey i'm having trouble downloading the game. i registered in the past for the free trial, so when i go to download the game i receive this message. when i download the other version of the game, it asks for a code, and when i go to the lodestone it says "A service account with the full version of FINAL FANTASY XIV and at least one character is required to log in to The Lodestone."
so my account exists, is free, but can't download the free trial?
!faq download
try this one
i click release list, slect the fish, and apply but none gets released, is there something im not doing?
have you select all? for both NQ and HQ
i get stuck here
you use steam?
no not steam
ohh thank you!
What do I do with white rarity equipment?
sell it if you can't use it?
I see
Desynth it if you want mats or whatever
are these the only things i can get with the SB clan mark logs or is there another NPC that sells different stuff?
and the HW one is just for the one mount?
yep
okay, thanks
is it even possible to mod ff 14?
Yes
People have modded the game in various ways, although the most common ones operate in a sort "don't tell, don't get banned" grey area
since modding is against TOS but they can't actually tell since they're client side only
how long till the event starts?
an hourish
wat still an hour?

1 hour until I get a new Jacket
15 really was the worst FF but atleast it finally got released in some form
Then the true ending was a book
what floors do u spam for hoh

When is the regalia mount event starting
in 10 minutes
Does this mean i can't get the event rewards at all?
Or it only applies to those who completed this event in 2019?
only to those who completed it
I forgot to check, can I dump the ffxv armor in the armoire?
you can
do ingame maps in the japanese client still have these funky letterswapped english captions?
Thanks
you mean the eorzean font on the map?
yeah
yes
interesting that they would make english names of places at the same time as japanese
it's foolish to make an international product without making it english
quite a few of the landmarks are actually named by english first
Does anyone have the moogle rod recipes for conjurer, ill pay for the items to make

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)

if you're soloing, just need to keep in mind to save burst for one of the suwana when they spawn

the burst the ads?
yep
thx
ohhhh, i just got it, the squadron training missions are there so you can get those last pesky 10 or 20 stats you need by temporarily reallocating "shared" attributes pool in one stat or another
Are there ffxv spoilers in the event?
whats best way to keep up gp while gathering collectables
use cordial
you can buy hi-cordial with yellow gatherer scrips
No its self contained
somewhat, but it's only vague references at best
Why I am getting same xp 1152 for crating cotton yarn manually and with quick synthesis? I though quick one has lower xp
quick synth is the exact same as regular synth
you just dont get the option to increase quality with crafter actions
the bonus exp come from fulfilling HQ bar
adding quality to an item increases XP you get
and quick synthesis never raise it
I see. Thank you
i know the advice is to not queue into 50/60/70 dungeons for XP, but is it because the daily roulette doesn't give much XP, or do the dungeons themselves from combat and boss XP don't give much XP?
i see
can i equip any item or food buff for more exp while leveling 60-70 at hoh?
Not deep dungeons
so just armory buff ok
is there anything useful i can do with tier 7 materia ? maybe upgrade to tier 8 or sth ?
you can put it in your gear too get bonus stats
or sell it on the marketboard
i use t8 for my gear, and its worth too little to bother selling on mb
i figured out you can transmute them with a chance to get t8 so im doing that now
The best boat for points in Ocean Fishing is Rothlyt by Day, right?

there is no samuray for sqadron
It varies too much to say. Since they only have classes it wouldnât hurt to have a Maurader and Gladiator, since they get different stat spreads for the missions, but even the missions then self have RNG stat requirements
But anyway archer dots do stupid damage when you level up their tactics
healer only conjurer so out of question, dps 100% archer then arcanist
as for tank, the same
Canât remember mine offhand, been a few months since I bothered, but I think both tanks, 2 conjurers, an archer, a lancer, and an arcanist
Finished Noctis quests only got clothes where do I get his car from
there is a vendor
after you finish the quest

ty~
uh, the garuda event one, what should i use warp strike for?
when there is a big aoe, and you want to jump towards it
use it to quickly move around
well thats a very good graphic but it doesnt say where to turn in the unidentified magitek
fair
i assume the same trader for the other stuff?

Where/How can I get the FFXV Orchestrion Rolls?
After you have completed the FFXV collaboration quest 'The Man in Black' you'll be able to buy the Orchestrion rolls from the Ironworks Hand located in Central Thanalan at x22, y18. The tokens needed to exchange for the Orchestrion rolls come from the Collaboration FATE Like Clockwork located east of Black Brush Station.
Each completion of the FATE gives you 1 token for silver rating and 2 tokens for gold rating, which means that you'll need to complete the fate 3 to 6 times to be able to buy all 6 Orchestrion rolls.
when i right click someone, the game selects them. is there a way to disable this? especially in battles.
Where can I get a lot of mgp fast to get regalia

Thanks

@jagged holly still don't get it, so what does this have to do with the item?

You trade the drop for music
They explain that when you beat the FATE for the first time

Same spot

can you respec your chocobo?
ok but if I want to for now? I put a point into the tank tree and it pulls enmity and dies sometimes
and I feel like Id be better off without that point in it
it's like level 6, but if I have it just heal then it won't do the attack skills, if I make it attack then it doesnt do heal skills right?
You can have it do both with the free stance
so I wanna be able to leave it free to do whatever but I dont want it to have the threat attack
but you cant choose to have it do the heal and attack without the tank ability that generates more threat
if I already put that point in
how long does it take to hit sworn with the Pixies beast tribe?
I don't think I can afford that item yet so I guess I'll just have to deal with it for now
thanks for answers all
How how much magitek you need for all the orchestra rolls?
it only like 20 allied seals
I think about 2-3 weeks or so starting from scratch
6
Very nice I have that
I think I have 0 seals, must've missed whatever those are from
I have the company ones, like 15k, but no allied seals yet

yes, and after ranking up to second lieutenant in your grand company
help :( I've completed the entire return to ivalice questline, I've completed shadowbringers up to 5.5 but keiten still won't give me the hail the queen quest :(
anyone know what im missing?
completed quest "The City of Lost Angels"?
yea I have
sure you haven't already done the quest, or accepted it?
pretty sure, I can't find it in my completed or accepted
bozja quests would be in the side stories section
Check the aetheryte teleport options for the doman enclave
and check the pier of the enclave
okay thank you, ill do that :)
Are retainers ventures and Grand Company squadrons still worth doing nowadays ?
free gil
Quick Ventures always have that chance of making big gil if you get rare dyes or rare crafting materials
and squadrons can give consumables that are equivalent to rank 3 FC actions that last for 2 hours
and the dungeons can be an alternative to using the duty finder for the dungeons they have
(very usefull for leveling dps)
Whereâs the option to turn off the flashy effects for raids/large groups of people? Itâs hard to see the aoeâs.
How are squadrons supposed to be free gil?
i assumed they can give gil in the last lvls
but mine isnt so far yet
i know they can get the mgp boost
anyway to get more exp while doing hoh for 60-70 apart from armory bonus?
one of the possible chemistries can include earning gil from completing missions after x condition is met
x being anything like being level 50 and above, or a specific race/class in the active party (not counting them)
the chemistry itself gives like 6-10k gil last time I remember
Where are the ironwork hands that sells orchestration rolls for the evnt located
black brush, rather. central thanalan
Duty Actions I and II are the extra buttons that sometimes appear in the middle of the screen, right?
Thanks man!
the XV event is one-sided, right? there's nothing special from XIV in XV?
XV got a content patch
They got our garuda as a fight, both normal and extreme version, and Garuda's Weapons
is it time limited? i know it's a single player game
and a few outfits too, i think.
XV's side of the event is permanent from what I remember
neat
ok so the 3rd quest, when Noctis is saying Gaurda is charging for something big and you need to warp strike to the monolith, I warp to it and Garuda kept pulling me back and wiped
what do I do here?
probably need to time it better
wait until the last second to do the warp
Dos the ninja skill hidden work on POTD/HOH?
when looking at the tiny UI that shows all enemies you're in combat with, use Warp-Strike around the "RS" in Microburst
How many runs of fates do you need for this event?
on some mobs yes, but different mobs have different types of aggro and hide doesnt affect them all
still failed
min 3 max 6 as long as you do something
Where do I find ironworks hand to exchange my unidentified magitek
I've been trying to get my chocobo to change to snow white colour for a while but it keeps flipping between rose pink and gobbiebag brown... am I missing something? I've been following this site for the order to feed and stop whenever I get the message "chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers"https://ffxivchocobo.com/en
are 1star and 2star triple triad cards just something for AI and starter decks? don't see a reason why would you use 1 or 2 over 3
blackbrush, near where you talk with npc after the fates
Ok thx
Sorry where do I find the vendor to claim the regalia? I completed the quest, I've checked the vendors at the gold saucer but can't find it anywhere
You will see a message that your chocobo is beginning to grow new feathers each time the colour changes as you feed
from the website
all 3 quests?
you're just stopping halfway
reverse deck
ah, special rules
the message I get is
"Kingsley devours the î»Doman plum.
Kingsley's plumage will be ready for change in 6 hours.
Kingsley is beginning to grow new feathers!"
so do I keep feeding?
read the notes on the website
you have to do everything listed in one session
oh, so feed every single fruit listed?
well yes you're switching from one color to another gradually and bound to encounter other colors along the way

Hey guys i have a little question where do i find the ff xv Event to enter it?
Uldah, near immortal flame headquarter
Ahh kk thank you much
You need to be lvl 50 just fyi
whats the "2 hour bonus window" when it comes to zodiac? is there any way to know?
only way to know what instances have bonus is to run it
and see if the light given is higher than what you normally get
does it literally change by the hour?
no it changes every 2hrs
well yeah I mean, if you dont get the bonus for one hour then the next might either be the bonus or not
what would be the best way to do the quest "for want of a memory"?
basically at the top of the hour on even hours, which instances are in bonus are going to change
oh okay, so check on even numbered hours, got it
cluster farm in bozja if you can get a group, or if you have blue mage leveled the hw fates
ah okay, thank you :)
