[covert marlin]

ahh but it's a passive mob shouldn't it not matter :O

[zealous pulsar]

Passiv means: No kill on sight

But it will still get after you, when you attack his tethered friend

[faint flare]

Passive is just they won't attack when they see you

[covert marlin]

ahh alright thank you everyone!

[faint flare]

Knowing aggro types usually don't matter but after doing eureka/bojza, you kinda what to know them cause those mobs are deadly

[devout lichen]

you can't join fcs on other worlds can you

[faint flare]

No

[manic flare]

you can relocate your home world if you wanted to join a particular fc on a different world

[devout lichen]

isnt that pretty expensive

[foggy rune]

https://sndup.net/7ddp

Can anyone tell me what song this is?

I hear it in limsa

[round lotus]

pretty sure it just limsa theme? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ForHMX-xs

[foggy rune]

It's not a bombastic March like that, it's calm and whistle sounding plays at the quarter something in middle la noscea I think?

[echo cloak]

Where in limsa are you?

[scenic cargo]

Open the coffer you get from the level 50 class quest right?

[echo cloak]

Yes

[foggy rune]

Middle la noscea maybe

[echo cloak]

One sec then

[umbral dune]

18$ so yeah

[foggy rune]

Where there's the half quarter etc

[cursive ridge]

i'm gathering that spiritbonding progress is turned off for BLU

[echo cloak]

On Westerly Winds?

[cursive ridge]

judging by the fact that i haven't spiritbonded a single piece of gear yet

[faint flare]

No

[foggy rune]

I'll check it out

[faint flare]

Spiritbond is based on what you kill and your gear

[echo cloak]

Oh wait, no Quarterstone is Western La Noscea lol

[faint flare]

You need to kill stuff near that gears level

[foggy rune]

That's it

[devout lichen]

is there any way to get notified when you can make a character on a server or just spam f5

[echo cloak]

Sweet

[foggy rune]

Forgot it was a violin and didn't know there's a French horn intro

[echo cloak]

You likely won't be able to make a toon on a congested server for quite some time. The servers are heavily stressed atm. They also announce when server congestions change

But yeah, in the last PLL (update video basically) they said that the servers are likely to be this impacted even when the new expac drops, so Aether is on total lockdown.

[devout lichen]

not congested

[echo cloak]

Oh what?

Then you can just make one lol

[echo cloak]

Yeah that means super congested, sorry. Forgot there was another label

[devout lichen]

seems to go back to green later at night

around midnight

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[faint flare]

Cause it'd based on people online

[echo cloak]

Oh no wait. I'm just stupid, that's a standard server, yeah no way to know without refreshing

[sudden dock]

Question about account-wide mounts before i buy one, will it automatically be sent to all my characters at time of purchase? If i make a character after I buy the mount will it be sent to it?

[faint flare]

Yes

And yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[faint flare]

It goes to everything

[umbral hollow]

hi guys im new, a wow refugee, so I want to know what class do you guys recommended to play Im archer for now and its fine, on wow I used to play bm hunter at very decent level, but I was told that bard gets so complicated at later levels, Im asking this because I have cerebral palsy and maybe most demanding jobs are too much for me any opinions?

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you have to complete all alliance raids to unlock bozjan?

[faint flare]

Only stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

Bard is a fairly straight forward class IMO

[faint flare]

If you want a slow paced job then Black mage

[leaden ginkgo]

Compared to the bottom masher that is ninja

[echo cloak]

All jobs get pretty complicated, but BRD might be a bad idea for you because it's a proc based class. Slower classes like BLM would probably be better. RDM is kinda slow too. Also healing if you're open to the idea (Just not AST).

[distant coral]

game related tech question:
HELP MY CONTROLS ARE BEING WEIRD
pliz hilp
nah but fr i haven't logged in for a long time
log in for once
and i noticed that my character is like moving on its own
i used to control him with my camera
but now it just doesnt
i had this setting where like
if i held right mouse button my char would always face towards the camera
but it aint doing that anymore
i tried changing between legacy and standard type controls but they are literally both the same
idk what's wrong but it's really bothering me that my game aint working like this anymore

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I get all the other starting jobs if I chose gladiator ?

[echo cloak]

Yes, after completing your level 10 GLA job quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Great to hear, thanks

[echo cloak]

Do you have a controller plugged into your computer?

[distant coral]

i thought so too but no

[echo cloak]

Have you tested your mouse in other software/closed and opened the game?

[distant coral]

funny enough apparently when i restart my game it changes the settings back to legacy?

it just changes itself back to legacy controls everytime i restart lol

[uneven tendon]

Have you got it set to gamepad configuration in character settings? (Not system)

[distant coral]

nope

[echo cloak]

So it's just defaulting to legacy every time then?

When you change it to Standard does it still act weird?

[distant coral]

yep

standard is not making a difference

windows is not seeing a controller either

[echo cloak]

What do you mean by your character moves on their own? Describe it.

[distant coral]

idk if the game is but that would be weird

it's like i'm playing on ps4

where if i spin the left thumbstick my character spins

but when i play with mouse and keyboard

my character moves left when i hold A and RMB

and right when i hold D and RMB

but it's not doing that anymore

when i hold RMB my characterjust rotates to the right and walks to the right of my camera facing forward

[round lotus]

is it possible to get the rest of this set on the free trial? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/images/c/c9/Mandervillian_Barding_Side.png

[echo cloak]

Try plugging a controller in, turning it on in game, wiggling a bit, turning it off and unplugging

[echo cloak]

Seems to just be a Gold Saucer barding, so yes.

[round lotus]

OOOH im silly i thought its only body

[distant coral]

OMG I FIXED IT

lmao

[echo cloak]

What was it?

[distant coral]

i'm not sure

[distant coral]

there was a second keyboard plugged in called ARES

i disabled it cuz i have no second keyboard

and i plugged in a controller like you suggested

wiggled it

unplugged it

and after that it worked

[raw saddle]

Which eu server is populated with english speakers and is good for new players?Good community

[distant coral]

so idk

[distant coral]

all of em atm xD

[faint flare]

All of them, except shiva and moogle

Shiva is unofficially German, moogle is unofficially French

[echo cloak]

Seems like you had a ghost input left over from the last time a controller was plugged in.

[faint flare]

Other than that, they're all English

[distant coral]

Come to Twintania and i'll invite you to a great Free Company too

[echo cloak]

Sometimes if a controller is disconnected while an input is held, the input stays in memory

[distant coral]

my pc hasn't been turned on for almost 2 weeks, never seen that ARES device in my life so idk probably

[echo cloak]

Oh so it's probably that then

[agile laurel]

remind me, was Dark Arts a GCD?

[faint flare]

Ogcd

[agile laurel]

yeah, thought so

[lilac nacelle]

as a WHM, should I prioritize Tenacity, Mind, Intelligence or keep an even mix? I'm specifically talking about Materia

[faint flare]

Mind

Rest are literally useless to you

And do nothing for you

[echo cloak]

Well you can't meld Mind or Intelligence though

[faint flare]

You can't meld main stat

[lilac nacelle]

ah ok

so, what do I meld for WHM?

[faint flare]

Crit > Dh or det

[echo cloak]

For melding you'll want a comfortable amount of piety then crit/dhit

[lilac nacelle]

so if I permanently run out of mana in dungeons, increase piety slowly until it works?

then, rest for crit and dhit?

[uneven tendon]

What level are you?

[lilac nacelle]

50

[uneven tendon]

Melding won’t do much at that point tbh

You typically meld when you get to endgame outside of a few exceptions like ultimates as you’ll replace gear somewhat frequently on your journey to 80

[lilac nacelle]

I've got quite a bit of materia anyway, might as well use it

[leaden ginkgo]

For dungeons, you usually won’t be running out of mp, if you start getting low, you can use Lucid Dreaming to boost you back up

[lilac nacelle]

yeah, an hour ago I upgraded my gear from avg ilevel ~60 to 114, so it's mostly fine right now

[echo cloak]

Yeah you can meld if you want, you'll probably be able to retrieve the materia anyway. It's just not really necessary is all

Just meld all crit/dhit in that case, your piety will probably be really high from normal gear

Also, don't use Materia Is they're rare and expensive, sell them 😄

[lilac nacelle]

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

I know when I was going through the msq, I used tome gear when I got to 50/60/70 and that for the most part was good enough until I hit the next ten lvls

[lilac nacelle]

I'm just levelling WHM now, not running MSQ, I run MSQ with Samurai

although I'm only level 69 msq right now

[lyric warren]

where do i unlock Tsukuyomis pain EX? i just did the normal one

[faint flare]

Kugane

[uneven tendon]

If you’re running out it could be a resource management issue, as in you could be using MP-hungry spells when not needed/too frequently

[leaden ginkgo]

In kugane, find the wandering minstrel

[lyric warren]

https://i.imgur.com/tetBPNb.png

didnt have anything to give me ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Have you done the main quest Castrum Fluminis?

[lilac nacelle]

Different question entirely: They are already 5 levels over mission level, what would I do to ready the squad? "keep leveling it up" seems unintuitive, I'd expect the levels to match at least

[leaden ginkgo]

Like did you get the quest reward for it already

[lyric warren]

is it msq? or a side quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

Msq, it’s the trial.

[uneven tendon]

Re-train them so you get 20 points from mental to physical

[spiral mango]

guys

[leaden ginkgo]

But after the fight did you complete it

[spiral mango]

which overlay is the best for tanks ?

[lyric warren]

oh ok ye its completed already

[lilac nacelle]

hmm thought as much, started reshifting training 5 minutes ago, will see if it works

[patent citrus]

it should pop when you finished 4.0

[raw saddle]

Warrior is a good tank for beginner?

[patent citrus]

like every expansion before sb

[patent citrus]

for all type of player

[lyric warren]

pop? what do you mean?

[patent citrus]

all 4 tanks are easy to pick up as long as you like the class

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah it’s a pretty easy to understand class and lots of skills to keep you alive

[patent citrus]

the wandering minstrel blue quest

[lyric warren]

is it bugged?

[patent citrus]

no, just finish SB MSQ

[raw saddle]

Anyone know when ff14 goes in sale on PlayStation store?

[lyric warren]

im 80 and already done all msqs

[leaden ginkgo]

Have you talked to him before? Maybe you already got it.

[lyric warren]

i got some ex already

[leaden ginkgo]

Check high end duty on pf

[patent citrus]

tsukiyomi ex

[lyric warren]

https://i.imgur.com/aXqEHeK.png

[patent citrus]

is not an ex in duty finder

minstre ballad

[faint flare]

You have it

[leaden ginkgo]

There it is

[patent citrus]

minstre ballad tsukiyomi = tsukiyomi ex

[lilac nacelle]

ARGH... why does the game think it makes sense that, when I fight with 3 mobs right next to me, that when I press "T" for next target I want to target that one passive mob 25 meters away? ARGH

[lyric warren]

no its not ex

[faint flare]

It is

[heavy wadi]

it's ex

[uneven tendon]

Yes it is

[leaden ginkgo]

It is, just weird names

[heavy wadi]

minstrel's ballads are extremes

[lyric warren]

ooooh

[echo cloak]

It used to be that EX were lore friendly refights and MInstrel's weren't. They threw that out the window lol

[patent citrus]

you mean like minstrel ultima weapon from praetorium?

[echo cloak]

Yeah

Actually scratch that

[fathom wasp]

What do you do after you farm all the gear from Paglth'an and finish the Raid Quest that gives you weaker gear? There's not much direction at this point

[fringe bone]

do we get new facial hair for humans in endwalker?

[patent citrus]

well it's still lore friendly cause minstre ballad has no dialogue

[echo cloak]

That was never true now that i think about it XD

Akh Afah already isn't a lore friendly extreme

[elder root]

ex trials and savage?

[echo cloak]

So even in ARR that wasn't true

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah they are just epic retelling of your fights

[fathom wasp]

What should I look up, is there a Guide for how to gear past 505 or a Guide to show you which ones you start at?

[elder root]

think at that point you're supposed to make your own goals

there's also bozja

oh you're asking how to gear?

just buy exarchic off the MB lol

[faint flare]

Eden nd nier

[elder root]

510 straight up, and then you can augment all of it to 520 with allegory tomestones

[fathom wasp]

I have 4 High End Trials from a Quest Guy outside Crystal Hub and that's it for now, 505 seems to be the highest from Pag

[elder root]

last tier of nier is 520 too, but only for vestments

like I said, just buy a full set of exarchic off MB

[leaden ginkgo]

For gear 510 you can buy crafted gear. 520 with tomestones. Then do the 24 man raids for coins to improve that armor to i530

[elder root]

that should've been your starting point tbh

[faint flare]

Eden and nier are how you're meant to gear up organically

See the pins for gearing guide

[leaden ginkgo]

Also eden savage raids gives you 530 gear as well

[elder root]

then from 520-530 is savage raiding

and augmented cryptlurker

[fathom wasp]

Yea I saw a Gear Vendor had some Tear Conversation thing for my Maxed out 2K Stones

[elder root]

but yeah getting 520 gear is super easy

[fathom wasp]

Earning Certificates and such?

[leaden ginkgo]

I like how easy it is to get bis, especially compared to other MMOs

[elder root]

kinda depends on who you get in PF lul

[spring lintel]

is monk pretty good for eureka considering they dont need to hit positionals?

[devout lichen]

does the server lock for character creation at an exact number or there is a bit of a wiggle room

[fathom wasp]

520 is from Hilicin in Eulmore?

[elder root]

not the best at self healing tho

rdm is still king

[spring lintel]

im talking about fastest/biggest dmg

i can always heal with potions

[elder root]

it's as if you're saying rdm doesn't have big damage

[fringe bone]

do we get new facial hair options for humans in endwalker?

[faint flare]

We don't k ow

[spring lintel]

i heard he's the lowest dmg of the casters so

[leaden ginkgo]

Facts!! E9S tile phase smacks

[fringe bone]

oh i heard there was a benchmark or whatever people were making their char

[lyric warren]

if i promote some one to cross world linkshell leader will i lose my master leader or will this just make so they can add ppl?

[faint flare]

That won't have unlockable stuff in it

Just your normal character creator stuff

[fringe bone]

Yeah so we are not getting new facial hair ?

[faint flare]

No

[fringe bone]

feelsbad

i want a nice beard 💔

[leaden ginkgo]

But we get bunbois! God knows Square gonna run out of Fantasias

[elder root]

fem hroth waiting room

can't wait for the furries to come out in full force

[fringe bone]

i heard they are shorter then catboys is that trtue?

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m currently just a human

[fickle radish]

is the yanxian merchants haori still timegated or is it now just buyable

[leaden ginkgo]

They are tall but not as tall as female viera.

[fringe bone]

ah i thought they were short, now i will actually consider a male viera

[leaden ginkgo]

Speaking of E9 tiles, saw this video and thought it was so cool. Neat little guide

[raven sage]

You still need to finish the restoration

[barren shard]

How do you unlock eureka lologram stuff? Do you have to continue with kriles campaign

[fathom wasp]

One last question I can't find the answer to lol - Using the Duty Finder is the proper difficulty to get the Items for the 510 Gear or is it a seperate difficulty I need to find in Party Finder ?

Eden ^

[raven sage]

normal eden can use duty finder

savage would need party finder

[faint flare]

You can duty finder all normal content

[faint flare]

Yes...You'll get it in pyros

[fathom wasp]

Lost Antiquity? There's so much gear on this Vendor lol

[faint flare]

Those tokens drop from Eden yes

!faq edenloot

[zinc orbit]

Eden raids normal mode drop table

[cursive ridge]

do diminishing returns apply to debuffs the same as they apply to stuns? reduced 3 times then immune for 1 minute? stuff like heavy, paralysis, silence

[faint flare]

Each tier follows this table

[slim raft]

what do I have to do to get my gathering percentages up

[faint flare]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

cool

[raven sage]

get better gear

[fathom wasp]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Get more gathering stat

[patent citrus]

where's this from?

[faint flare]

Aka your gear is shit

[slim raft]

I literally just spent hella cash on gear

[faint flare]

Perception is for HQ chance

[slim raft]

how much higher does it have to be

[faint flare]

If it wasn't high quality then you wasted money

[raven sage]

depends on what it is now and what you need for the item

[leaden ginkgo]

It was posted in my FC chat

I’m not sure

[slim raft]

Jesus christ

NOTHING I do in this game seems to be the right way to do things

[leaden ginkgo]

What level gear are you trying to get?

[raven sage]

I'm sure it'll be fine but genuine advice would be to ask before you start something

Just to make sure

[slim raft]

now I'm down like 200k in gil because I didn't get HQ gathering gear

[leaden ginkgo]

If 80, white script gear is a trap

[slim raft]

what a waste of time and energy

[raven sage]

white scrip gear is fine as an opening 80 set

[forest cape]

how long does it take to cap rested xp?

[faint flare]

Like 4 days

[slim raft]

level 70 gear

[toxic kiln]

Am I missing something here?

[faint flare]

Normal quality gear is garbage

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh I spent so long trying to get it cuz I’m like oh I want to make like pots and food only to find out I needed the crafted gear.

[faint flare]

Like

Legit fucking trash

[raven sage]

I said as an opening set

Not everyone wants the crafted set tbf

[toxic kiln]

I can see that

[faint flare]

Normal quality gear effectively has minus 30 ilvls worth of stats

[dry night]

how does the rping work and where do people find people to rp with?

[wintry sable]

Where I can see which GATE is going to be next?

[faint flare]

High-quality gear has stats that are equal to that ilvl

[uneven tendon]

White scrip gear is fine if you’re casually doing doh/dol, takes a couple weeks to get with custom deliveries and you don’t have to spend a pennt

[faint flare]

!faq gateschedule

[zinc orbit]

GATE Schedule (last changed in patch 5.2)

[toxic kiln]

So I have to buy HQ white or play other dungeons to be able to tank ||Amaurot||?

[leaden ginkgo]

PF, other tab, lots of venues that are advertised

[faint flare]

Get your 430 gear from Grendolt

As the game told you

[toxic kiln]

I'm Lv79

[wintry sable]

Nothing specific? I keep seeing players standing in front of the NPC spot and its always there

[faint flare]

Then you can't do that dungeon until you're 80

[raven sage]

Then just keep playing

[toxic kiln]

oh sorry I meant ||Mt. Gulg||

[faint flare]

Get gear from Maklilth

[faint flare]

The gate lady npcs will tell you what's coming

Scaevan is...just barely enough for gulg

Though you may want to reign in wall pulls

Just 2 packs them

[raven sage]

If you have any coffers from story you can use those too

Since those have hq gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Also can have someone craft some decent gear for you to hit the min ilvl

[spiral mango]

guys

how many quests after ARR until you go into HW ?

[barren shard]

Ok I'm really sorry one last question. Do you not get rewards for doing eureka "fates" if you are above level?

[devout lichen]

what happens when they force you to change your name because it was breaking rules, actually asking for a friend because he is about to name himself p'oopc ock

[uneven tendon]

80

[toxic kiln]

why would you do that

[lethal birch]

80, post ARR pre HW is unfortunately a pretty long slog

[barren shard]

I did two fates in eureka as lvl 8 and the fates were 5 and 7 but didnt get any Crystal's or lockboxes

[lethal birch]

But it does get better

[spiral mango]

what the heck

80?!

[uneven tendon]

It was 100

[little swift]

Were you alone?

[toxic kiln]

it used to be more

[faint flare]

The GMs pull you into jail, tell you about it and give you a free name change

And force log you out

[little swift]

You need a party to get full contribution

[barren shard]

Nope big group of people

[toxic kiln]

did they remove the ||Tataru trying not to be a useless shit|| substory in the post-ARR quest?

[devout lichen]

not as bad as I thought

[lethal birch]

A lot of that 80 missions is just back and forth fetch quests

[uneven tendon]

Nope

[toxic kiln]

goddamnit

[little swift]

Were there tanks in your group

[barren shard]

Oooh snap didnt know

[lethal birch]

Tataru's a precious bean

[barren shard]

You have to be in a legitimate party?

[little swift]

Contribution is based on aggro

[toxic kiln]

less precious and more "special"

[little swift]

So if you are by yourself you don't generate as much as a full party or even a couple of people

[lethal birch]

Shes kept the org afloat, lol

[barren shard]

Oh I see thank you @little swift

[cobalt rapids]

dumb question.. about to upgrade from free trial on mog station website. do i just hit transfer to full game even though my 'character list' says i have no available characters? I want to keep the one ive been using lol

[toxic kiln]

that doesn't sound right

did you play the trial version on Steam and are trying to buy the game through the square enix store, or vice versa?

because you can't transfer from one to the other AFAIK

[fickle radish]

ive already completed one shb relic and im wondering if for my 2nd one, can i accept the quests as lvl 71 monk? cus i planned to level the class while farming at same time

[faint flare]

No

[fickle radish]

sadge thanks

[viral nebula]

for jumbo cactpot would the most consistent method to get mgp to have 1 of every number with no repeating?

[cobalt rapids]

@toxic kiln it looks like this, i didnt use the steam version, downloaded the trial client through the websitee

[viral nebula]

since it would guarantee at least 1 number correct?

[raven sage]

It wouldn't guarantee that since it goes in order and won't count anything if the first number is wrong

And since the numbers can repeat you won't necessarily get at least 1

[viral nebula]

ahh

[jagged holly]

so pretty sure the right most number is the most important one

if thats correct you get atleast 3rd price

[raven sage]

Like I said

[jagged holly]

if not consolation

yes like you said

[raven sage]

If the number is wrong, you won't get a guaranteed anything but consolation

And you only get 3 chances at 3rd minimum

[cursive ridge]

was BLU level cap 60 in stormblood?

[jagged holly]

its 10 lwoer then max lvl

[cursive ridge]

thought so

[raven sage]

It was raised to 60 during shb

[jagged holly]

waiut really?:o

[cursive ridge]

it trivializes outdoor content so making it work on current expansion would probably be very unfair

i think they mean 70

[raven sage]

Nope

I mean 60

[jagged holly]

but blue mage can be 70 now?

[raven sage]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

so it was 50 on stormblood release?

[faint flare]

It was increased in like 5.4

To 70

[cursive ridge]

and then it was increased twice in shb?

[raven sage]

correct

[cursive ridge]

intriguing

[raven sage]

In 5.15

and again in 5.45

[faint flare]

Blue was added in like 4.5 or something

So pretty late in stormblood

[raven sage]

Yep

[jagged holly]

aóh interesting

[raven sage]

On paper it sounds like a long time but it wasn't super long

[faint flare]

Like 2-3 major patches

[cursive ridge]

blue mage is such an interesting job, just solo'd tam tara with it synced, feels nice

[leaden ginkgo]

can i get some tech support? my game must be seriously broken im not getting the amount of xp that im being told i get this happens with all the roulettes that i do heres a couple examples of todays roulettes not giving me the amount told in chat

[raven sage]

You got it

The message displayed is a reiteration

You don't get 2 of those

[faint flare]

It's telling you where you got the xp from

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but its saying that im getting 14 million when its 13

[faint flare]

Cause final boss xp + bonus roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

on lower image it says i get 4 million but only got 2

[raven sage]

No

It's saying you got 2

[faint flare]

You're not getting 4mil

[raven sage]

And then it told you where it was from

[faint flare]

You're getting 2mil

You're not receiving two lots of it

[cursive ridge]

no, it's 2 mil, it's just different parts of the chat log system duplicating the message

[faint flare]

It's just telling you HOW you got it

There's no bug

[leaden ginkgo]

why would they make a text saying you get a bonus amount of xp on top of the first message its clearly implying that i would get a bonus amount if its not so its kinda missleading

[cursive ridge]

race condition probably

[leaden ginkgo]

on first image i did get more than 7 million too

[faint flare]

Cause you get final boss xp as well

And new player bonus if any

[onyx zinc]

you got 7m + 2m and exp from the mob kills inside, which doesn't appear

[cursive ridge]

one of the messages is the system going "hey you just got experience" the other is saying "i am going to award you this much experience now"

[regal pawn]

XP Gain From Bonus
Information That You Got A Bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

Chat has a bunch of boxes you can check uncheck and you won’t see those kinds of pop ups

gonna have to uncheck some of them because this is super missleading it makes it look like you get double the xp from both bonus and regular

I just unlocked divination on AST, but when I give cards to myself or my Chocobo it doesn’t give a seal?

Yeah it’s just telling you twice. Sometimes telling people once isn’t enough lol

[cursive ridge]

turning off those will probably turn off something else with them

[regal pawn]

Must be in combat

[leaden ginkgo]

^^^

[regal pawn]

Sometimes it can be wonky and your chocobo pulls
But you don't count as in combat
So you give yourself a card and rip seal

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh thank you

[cursive ridge]

because you can't turn off just a single type of message, only a category it belongs to

I can't continue with the MSQ - In the name of the light. Outlandish man keeps telling I have to abandon my current quest but adds nothing more. I'm lvl 80. What is going on

Check your journal for Legacy of Allag

In both current and completed quests

[leaden ginkgo]

Also how many seconds in should you use divination? In my current kit it’s pretty hard to have three seals early in combat

[faint flare]

At endgame you use it like 10s in

Cause you have the tools to do so

[jagged holly]

With a card prepulled and used on pull, second draw immediately after and sleeve draw

Before patch 5.3, it was not required

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a limit to how many yellow crafters scripts I can earn?

[jagged holly]

oh that makes sense?

[regal pawn]

Nope

[faint flare]

Can only hold 2k

[cursive ridge]

you cant hold more than 2000 at once

[faint flare]

At a time

[cursive ridge]

but if you keep spending it, no limit

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I just tried it out on my 50 ast and I guess you should pop it right at 3 seals and hope you got all three different ones with redraw?

[jagged holly]

so like on a crafetr you can jsut craft 100 collectables
and gain enough for a lifetime

[faint flare]

Basically

You can't guarantee 3 different seals early

Cause you only have redraw

Sleeve draw helps guarantee 3 different seals

[leaden ginkgo]

I read on a wiki that there were limits to custom orders a week which was the only way to earn yellow scripts

Allied/Clan Hunting Unlock Guide

'How do I unlock Hunts?'

ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.

HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.

SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.

SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.

I just reached Stormblood a few minutes ago. But I'm still only Sergant Private First Class

[faint flare]

Can rank up in like

A day

[jagged holly]

do the hunting log for the seals

[faint flare]

Or two

[jagged holly]

you need too do it anyway

[fringe reef]

i always ignored hunting log so i am at 0% after 190 hours in game

[jagged holly]

then do expert delivery for insane amount of seals

[lunar otter]

I did but they're locked

[jagged holly]

only GC hunting log matters

[boreal storm]

Click the GC log

[fringe reef]

yeah that i didnt even know exist

[lunar otter]

"Achieve the rank of Serpent Seageant Third Class or higher"

[faint flare]

Talk to the personal officer and get promotions

[boreal storm]

Then promote

Using your seals

[jagged holly]

you need too do the first 2 parts of GC hunting löog too reach captain

[lunar otter]

I'm only at 1K seals at the moment. I accidentally bought 50 Venture coins for 10K when I was capped, because I didn't know how to promote

then realized it too late lol

[jagged holly]

ventures are always nice

[boreal storm]

Then do roulettes

[faint flare]

It’s just “can you probably maybe do this fight” sim

[obsidian patio]

https://ffxiv.azizarar.com/

[jagged holly]

stone sky sea isnt usefull

[boreal storm]

!faq sss

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[devout lichen]

I just wanted to do it cuz why not

[jagged holly]

there are other tools
that youa rent allowed too emntion ingame
that help with dps

you only need 80 for the extra MGP and it's +50k MGP

and yes you are eligible for +50k MGP each week

[small sierra]

so you odnt have to get 100 pts?

[outer mural]

not for the mgp

fashion leader is a one-time thing and you only want 100 points if you want to rush maxing out kasumi's shop

[raven sage]

100 is just for the title

[outer mural]

but that's not really that big of a deal unless you will physically die irl without spring shorts

[jagged holly]

some peopel do it for the fun of it

[devout lichen]

not gonna use act

anyway, for yellow scrips is it worth doing timed nodes

[outer mural]

then you're really out of options for figuring out a truly accurate metric for your DPS

and yeah yellow scrip farm is usually based around timed nodes

[small sierra]

yeah im trying to get 200k mgp

[outer mural]

it's in the shadowbringer zones

[small sierra]

for the car lol

[outer mural]

yeah next week if you do all challenge log + fashion report that should be enough

[devout lichen]

timed nodes are really worth it for the 13 extra yellow scrips?

Hi ^^ sorry not sure if this is the place to ask.. I'm interested in buying the complete collector edition upgrade from the mogstation... my question is: will that work even if I'm playing from steam? D:

[outer mural]

you could also do ocean fishing and that gets you a few hundred each trip for little time

[faint flare]

No

[devout lichen]

I dont have fishing leveled, only miner

[faint flare]

Once you touch steam you MUST buy from steam

[jagged holly]

https://www.ffxivclock.com/
extremly usefull for farming timed nodes

[outer mural]

^

was about to link it

check it for the zones you have available

shadowbringers is typcially the most efficient

[jagged holly]

alert view is really nice

[devout lichen]

not really what I asked but okay

[jagged holly]

like they should give more? but yeah onyl way too get them outside custom delivery

[devout lichen]

compared to bluespirit ore it only gives an extra 13 scrips

and it's much more of a hassle to get them

[jagged holly]

then farm bluespirit and when its up go there^^

[subtle bear]

What level do the SB jobs start at

[jagged holly]

blkuespirit

titancopper

[obsidian patio]

50

[jagged holly]

so its 9 more?

Wait does SB mean stormblood or shadowbringers here lmao

[devout lichen]

sb is stormblood shb is shadowbringers

[subtle bear]

Ah my bad

[leaden ginkgo]

No problem

[subtle bear]

What level do the shb jobs start at

[jagged holly]

btw that was my question that kinda answered itself:
when there are rarefiends thata rent timed nodes
why should i ever wait for timed nodes for yellow scrtipts?

60

so you can pick it upo when Stormblood starts

[leaden ginkgo]

Isn’t stormblood 50 and shb were 60?

[jagged holly]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Gnb and dancer were 60

[jagged holly]

yeah tahts why i said 60

[leaden ginkgo]

Cool

[jagged holly]

but when you reach stormblood youa re lvl 60

and get them

[devout lichen]

yellow scrip nodes seem to show up way less often than white scrip nodes

[jagged holly]

you can pick up the stormblood jobs in Heavensward

white script nodes are all timed

maybe manasilver isnt? unsure

[devout lichen]

manasilver isn't but that's not what I'm saying

[subtle bear]

You can pick up the SB jobs before HW jobs which is kinda confusing

[devout lichen]

the time between nodes seem to be larger for yellow scrips

compared to white scrips where I have to wait maybe 10 minutes

[outer mural]

what are you comparing to bluespirit ore?

[jagged holly]

oh you mean when looking at all of them at the same time

[leaden ginkgo]

Great thing with time nodes, after you get them, you can send retainers after them

[devout lichen]

rare reef rock gives 36

[jagged holly]

wait really?:O
even for collectablies?

[leaden ginkgo]

Got tired of waiting around for some lemons

Collectibles no

[jagged holly]

oh sad
but still pretty neat

[leaden ginkgo]

But they’ll only bring you back like 7 of the item at a time

[outer mural]

both rarified reef and bluespirit are both timed nodes

you will want to get both

[devout lichen]

bluespirit isn't timed

[outer mural]

oh shit i stand corrected

i read it wrong

i see

then you would be correct in gathering a bunch of rarified bluespirit ore rapidly

[jagged holly]

yeah it looks like there is always 1 non timed rarefied in each tier (and one for white scripts)

that gives way less scripts

[outer mural]

seems i hadn't noticed them, i see

[jagged holly]

sameXD in the beginning i thought timed nodes followed real time
and was like damn
2 chances per day for like 50 scriptsXD thats too much effort for me

For the ARR Relic weapons, do they scale as you level?

[faint flare]

No

[scenic cargo]

Just did meridanium first time, and I had jackshit idea what was going on. I was basically just running after packs and not understanding mechanics

[faint flare]

Relics only upgrade within their expansion cap

[boreal storm]

So the non-current ones are purely glamour

[primal gull]

that's because there's very few mechanics to understand, gear has mostly invalidated any challenge those dungeons once posed

[hard forge]

I see, so to get a relic weapon for current max I would start with shadowbringer weapon process

steps, rather

[proud willow]

hang in there, there's another one right after that works pretty much the same way. And then no other dungeons like that in the entire game

This quest unlocks desynth, and needs the appropriate crafting class related to the item at 30

[leaden ginkgo]

^^

[boreal storm]

Cul desynths fish

Nothing else

[leaden ginkgo]

Oooh can’t you get some nice glams from some shark?

[rose current]

ohhhh

damn

[ripe hound]

With the single exception being LB

I think LB cancels the damage if you stop the animation before damage went out

[faint flare]

No

[ripe hound]

Hun?

[faint flare]

Once the cast done

It's applied

[ripe hound]

Maybe I was wrong then

[regal pawn]

Snapshot

[ripe hound]

I think I remember hearing if you rescue someone when the animation is playing it gets canceled

[regal pawn]

yes

the cast is cancelled

if you rescue them during the cast

if the cast goes through and is snapshotted, das it

[hasty turtle]

is there a glamour to look like an amaurotine? (or close to it, at least the cloak and hood)

[sharp forge]

Any reason some people craft items and it displays a message of what was crafted but sometimes people dont display that?

[regal pawn]

Quicksynthesis doesn't show crafted messages

While normal synthesis does

It woul be annoying to see
"X has crafted Copper Ingot" 99 times in a row

[sharp forge]

ah that makes sense tyvm

[pulsar haven]

How do I get more evaluation points and bonus? I'm gathering.. doing levequest

[hardy scroll]

In the node

[regal pawn]

You can kind of get that look with the Altered Linen Cowl in Jet Black

[hasty turtle]

thank you guys

[cloud lake]

So I'm trying to adjust my chat bar window on my ps5 to match my pc chat window but I don't see how to make my chat window smaller on ps5. Is there a way to do this? Maybe I forgot on how to do this I need guidance lol

[faint flare]

Drag the arrow thing in the top right corner of the chat box

Use the virtual mouse mode to do it

[cloud lake]

I've tried this even on virtual mouse thing it just lowers it doesn't make it smaller

[leaden ginkgo]

Does the road to 70 buff also double mission reward exp ?

[regal pawn]

Funnily enough, yes

it does increase MSQ xp

[leaden ginkgo]

Worth to restart with the buff? I’m level 34

[regal pawn]

You'd have to play on Crystal or one of hte Japanese DCs

So if you're in EU
Tough Ping (possibly)

[lost sinew]

if i intend to play primarily/exclusively on ps4 (maybe 5 someday), and i want the xp earring, should i pre-order endwalker in the psn store?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah big yikes

[worthy patrol]

do you get all the relic weapons from each step or should i stop when i get the one i like the most?

[faint flare]

You can buy replicas of previous steps

For glamour use

[faint flare]

For Font sizes you go into character configuration > chat settings > log detaild

[worthy patrol]

vinyl always comin' in clutch

tyty

[cloud lake]

My friend took a picture for reference on ps5 for chat window being to big

compared to pc chat window

[faint flare]

Then change the font size

[cloud lake]

would that work

[pulsar haven]

Does the retainers adventure count for botanist?

Level 70 jump

[modern bloom]

anyone know how to remove this?

[regal pawn]

that's from Nvidia overlay

[modern bloom]

OMFG fucking nvidia

[leaden ginkgo]

Could someone possibly explain the nuances of the healers? I'm not entirely sure I understand them.

[regal pawn]

On your overlay
Cogwheel > Hud Layout > Everything Off

[regal pawn]

Do dps
When people hurt, use your healing (preferably while you can DPS. If it's not possible to continue damaging while healing, you gotta prioritize the heals)

[modern bloom]

huh

[sharp forge]

If two different jobs share the same actual gear then you cant have them have two different looks without swapping glamour plates while in cities right?

[regal pawn]

Correct

[leaden ginkgo]

I meant like, the differences of the jobs, sorry for not making that clear.

[sharp forge]

tyvm but damn that sucks :(

[faint flare]

White mage: fat heals, has regens.. No party buffs

Astro: can give both heals and Shields (being removed in expansions to focus more on healing and regens). Gives cards to buff people's damage and has group buff via divination

Scholar: Shield healer and has a pet to help heal...lots of off global heals accessed via resource management and Shields mitigate damage. Has crit buff

[leaden ginkgo]

That's about what I thought, just wanted to be sure, thanks!

[woeful breach]

Can someone explain how i actually use the accursed horde in potd to get loot

do i just leave the dungeon or do something

[faint flare]

Use intuition pomander > stand on the spot > open chest > finish floor set > talk to bishop to appraise it

[modern bloom]

tyy

[regal pawn]

You need to finish the 10 floors to actually keep your loot and get xp

So if you start at 1, you have to clear the boss on lvl 10 ot be able to keep your loot

If you leave or wipe, you get nothin'

[woeful breach]

Ok and that warning saying exiting the area with a full inv etc

[regal pawn]

If your inventory is full, you will lose the sacks

[faint flare]

That's for pomanders

And making sure you don't have.a full inventory

[woeful breach]

I see got it tyty

[lost sinew]

does mephina’s earring work for BLU?

[regal pawn]

Accursed Hoards will turn into X-trimmed sacks (X depending on which set of 50 floors you looted it from)
If your inventory is full You will not get any sacks
So make sure you have inventory space

[boreal storm]

Honestly you don’t even need it for BLU

[faint flare]

Yeah but stats aren't that great

[regal pawn]

Also as a side not, a pommader of intuition only shows you the location of the accursed hoard
IT is possible to find hoards without them though it is tedious if you want to check every room

[leaden ginkgo]

You can max out BLU in a few hours

[honest orchid]

Solo?

[regal pawn]

And what Fuilteach said
30% combat xp is not necessary

[lost sinew]

mmm i think i got partway from 60 to 61 in an hour…

[honest orchid]

Or do you need friends to max Blu quickly

[lost sinew]

yeah solo

[boreal storm]

Friends help

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh you will need a friend to help kill mobs

You tag them with the fish slap and they kill them

[lost sinew]

yeah so, same question, but solo

[boreal storm]

Just pay someone to BLU level or something

[lost sinew]

i am not leveling blu with a friend

[boreal storm]

Why? Literally no reason to not

[honest orchid]

I mostly play solo lolol

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh solo, that’ll be a good bit of grinding

[woeful breach]

When potd lvl guide says do floors 51-60 does that mean go back to 1 or is there a way to repeat a finished floor

[lost sinew]

because i level blu when i can’t really pay full attention to the game

and that would be rude

[boreal storm]

It’s not

[lost sinew]

to randomly afk while someone is helping

[leaden ginkgo]

Since you really only get xp from mobs

[boreal storm]

You don’t afk

You have to hit the enemy, then they kill it

[onyx zinc]

you need to finish floor 50 and it'll unlock the ability to start from 51 instead of 1

[boreal storm]

Rinse repeat

[lost sinew]

i’m leveling blu when i’m only half paying attention to the game. i’ll play for 5m, afk 5m.

[woeful breach]

oh cool

[lost sinew]

that is not conducive to conscripting a friend

[leaden ginkgo]

Or even a FC member

[lilac nacelle]

Can someone tell me how to leave a broken instance mid combat?

[leaden ginkgo]

People love helping out blus

[lost sinew]

i am my only fc member, lol

blu is solo for me, that’s the story

[boreal storm]

That’s on you

Still dumb

[heavy wadi]

this feels like begging

[lost sinew]

yes, it is, i was just asking if the earring work. it does. apparently.

[leaden ginkgo]

Best to find areas with lots of melee based mobs and kill from afar

Be sure to have all the px boosts you can use

[obsidian patio]

Duty > duty finder > Leave should work

[lilac nacelle]

no it didn't

[obsidian patio]

What quest are you stuck on?

[leaden ginkgo]

Food, squadron scrolls, ect

[lilac nacelle]

Royal Menagerie

[boreal storm]

How is the instance broken

[lilac nacelle]

the tank DC'd in another phase of the boss, and didn't die

[lost sinew]

ooo can i use squadron scrolls 60-70?

[lilac nacelle]

that's why we couldn't full wipe and were stuck dead permanently

mid combat

no way to leave

[fickle radish]

zadnor vs gangos z3 for leveling 71-80?

[faint flare]

They're literally the same xp

[obsidian patio]

Same experience if you stick to the same zone section

[faint flare]

Zadnor is only better for mettle

[autumn hedge]

How do I check my scores in the firmament?

[ember bronze]

Where can i find a compilation of all the new skills in endwalker? like this guy is talking about blm but i wanna see every class with some details https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/pqp37m/black_mage_60_endwalker_updates_and_new_abilities/

[obsidian patio]

No idea then, sounds like all that you can do is submit a bug report

[lilac nacelle]

so apparently it now took Zanos 20 minutes to reach the third phase by himself, killing the disconnected tank, resetting the wipe

*zenos

[slate kayak]

[rare sapphire]

just bought the digital upgrade to the collectors edition, am i supposed to get a key somewhere to activate my rewards os do i get them automatically on my characters?

[green grail]

it's more or less a breakdown of what you could see in the video of new job skills and the liveletter slides that had some info about the new jobs, #translations-and-liveletters

plus whatever yoshi-p said

[slate kayak]

Whats the difference between https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/564956/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download this and https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/565219/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-pc-download this

[green grail]

NA vs EU region

[slate kayak]

thats the part where i got confused

[lilac nacelle]

One of them has more freedom!

[slate kayak]

:DDDDDDDDDDDDD

one of them is cheaper tho

USD is quite pricey at my place rn

[split dust]

The mogstation have regional prices? (asked in the wrong channel, now it is correctly)

[hardy scroll]

is there a channel for looking for ppl to raid with

[silver ruin]

only for na/eu/pounds

i believe steam might have some kind of conversion

but im not 100% sure

[serene steppe]

Is it just me or does the magic phase of Paladin level 70 and under feel....pointless?

[faint flare]

It's high damage

[serene steppe]

Like it feels like Holy Spirit doesn't deal that much damage even with Requiescat

[faint flare]

It's more potency per gcd

With the buff

Without the buff it's equal potency per gcd

[slate kayak]

prices r same at mogstation and square enix store right?

[silver ruin]

yes

[slate kayak]

ty a lot

[serene steppe]

Hmmm

Paladin feels like one of those jobs that doesn't feel too great untill 80

[agile laurel]

with requiescat, HS is equal in damage to Fell Cleave, remember

[split dust]

How much time it takes to receive the Tales(skip) in the mail usually?

[agile laurel]

Ymmv. Mail system is odd

If it's been 24 hours, contact support

But it should usually be like, under 2 hours

[split dust]

Got it

thanks

[sharp forge]

You can only do/turn in one wondrous tails book a week right? Or can you do multiple a week?

[obsidian patio]

You can only grab one book per week, but books last for 2 weeks

[hardy scroll]

how do i revive faded rolls

[obsidian patio]

Craft them with alchemist

[glacial veldt]

When you download the game for PC, you’re asked at the beginning what region you’re in. When you buy it through steam, you’re region locked through steam. My question: are you region-locked via the account you use to buy the game on PlayStation?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[rare sapphire]

anyone knows the answer to this?

[hasty turtle]

ye it only comes into its own super late, probably later than all other classes

[obsidian patio]

Digital upgrade doesn’t need a code, it’s automatically done

[regal pawn]

It can take some time for your collector's stuff to come in
