do your weekly custom deliveries
and then time node collectables
can also do ocean fishing
Are you talking about those things in the crystarium ?
Khloe, M'naago, etc
forgotten but if i trade over items in exchange for crystal sand in order to make my HW relic, is that sand tied to the weapon i am working on or do i get it as a item in my inventory that i can use on any relic weapon?
nope, you can use the sand for any anima weapon
Treated sand is on a per weapon basis
am I just playing healer wrong or it's like this, cuz I tried astro never healed before and every fight is me pressing combust on everything and just healing and pressing malefic
ah ye, the treated sand is specifically for that weapon
but the crystal sand itself can be used for any
so if i hand over some blue gatherer's scrips, i best do it with the weapon i plan to build up and not one i have already made it past that stage?
Healing is just DPSing until you need to heal
No, the crystal sand you exchange for can be used for any weaponn
its specifically when you exchange crystal sand and umbrite for treated sand that is specific to that weapon
okay
so its safe to start stockpiling sand even before i get to that part with a second relic
thank you for the recommendation
ye
okay, thanks
Hey guys, never bought summoner to bozja, do stuffs like Lost font of magic, essence of ordained and chainspell work with pet damage?
And if that lifesteal potion heals you when your pet smacks enemies
yes, buffs like that are mirrored to the pet, their damage counts as your damage
if im a MCH what stat am i looking for on accessories?
So question about alexander savage, what was considered the worst raid of that serie? A6s or what?
+3 every 12 hours
how come i got a new leve before the timer reset?
I'm trying to find this website that tells you what the most valuable items currently are to sell with special currencies, like tomestones or grand company seals. I found it a few weeks ago, but i seemed to have not saved it and i was hoping someone here knows the website i am talking about.
A8s
hi guys, having a weird issue over here - me and my room mates (2 of them) are trying to play the game, but its giving all of us a 2002 error: "The lobby server connection has encountered an error". Has anyone encountered this, or does anyone know where to look for help on this?
hello i just start as BLU what spell should i learn first?
It's easily the hardest fight in savage alex
worst, not best 
Cause it has a6s stuff as well as brute justice stuff? 
🙏
Worst in terms of kicking people's asses
Weskalber has a good guide on youtube
So this means the ones right after are somewhat more manageable?
a8s isn't the one that's well known for basically almost destroying the raiding scene tho 
Just make sure youre not watching his April fools video
True but a8s lacks for cheese strats
so?
i searched a guide it says step by step ok lv1 get water cannon then 3rd step is lv50 content im like bruh im lv1
alright gonna look his vids
Does it have a bunch of instakill stuff btw? (A8s)
That's what titled me the most of a6s
why dont they make Blu a real job? seems interesting enough.
because they wanted to stay true to what Blue Mage is, which is learning different spells from mobs
yeah<>>they can still do that< and be a job< no?
and trying to force it to be a real job meant you'd either a. kill learning spells from mobs, or b. force players to get specific spells to do content
Better to purchase on Steam or Mog station PC?
No, it'd be a major pain in the ass to balance blu.
That’s just going by each spell
It’s not steps
Blu would also probably become meta and the devs don't want that.
i can see balance< i guess
it doesn't matter. if you're someone who cares about buying things on sale, then going with SE store may be more desirable for you as steam doesn't go on sale very often. If you're someone who uses steam wallet a lot, then steam is a good choice since you can utilize steam wallet for sub/optional items @daring prawn
Blu is inherently unbalanced and doesn't fit any real roles. So it's either make a shitty blue mage that isn't a blue mage.
Or make an accurate blue mage that's a law unto itself
You really can't
It's like playing with lego except you have to follow the instructions 100% of the time
And you only have exactly enough pieces to make one thing and nothing else
Ugh, disgusting
Basically it wouldn't be blue mage
Like if they said they were making samurai but instead of a katana it used a broadsword
Which Roulette is worth the time to do for xp?
you don't get that much xp for it comparitively
MSQ is long, but it gives a huge chunk of xp. And you can watch netflix or something while doing it.
frontline gives good xp
No daily bonuses do
trials is ok to do for exp because its quick
are players like, sharded too in this game? cuz I can't see my friend and he apparently walked past where i was walking
Hey everybody! So just curious, I’m trying to clear all duty finder content/notable instances with boss fights, however the boss fates (behemoth, ixion, Archaeotania, etc.) seem like a huge pain to hunt down. I know in the cases of behemoth and Odin, very similar fights exist in other forms of content like trials and raids-
So I guess I’m just curious, are most of the boss trials worth it if I’m moreso just interested in completion and not the rewards? Are the fights unique, or do similar versions for the others also exist elsewhere?
are you both on the same server?
yep
did you both just start the game? the first handful of quests are in a solo instanced zone
can he see any other players at all?
says he can't
If THEY LITERALLY just made their character then theyre in a so instance
but he got the text that says the tutorial is over
tell him to progress in the main quests a bit more
Once they do a few quests and go to attune to the aetheryte they'll see people
ah alright, thanks
Do you need to be logged in to receive allowances?
No
What is the character level needed for HoH? 60?
61
61
Thanks

So, every Expansion has some sort of Glowing Weapon to Glam
Just read that. Seems so.
Is there an Expansion where it is easier than the others, I read what is involved in SHB Resistance Weapons
Or is it fairly straightforward just time consuming
Heavensward relic is considered the easiest since it’s just a giant poetics grind for most of the steps, needing around 15-20k total poetics depending on what methods you use
What would be the hardest one?
Trial weapons are crafted
Between zodiac and Eureka
Eureka is just annoying first time around cause levelling
Zodiac is zodiac with its dumb books and low level materia stuff
Interesting
Zodiac relics also have a hard Gil cost of 400k due to a specific step
SHB sounds like a long grind in various places, some sort of Zone I haven't even been too?
All relics are a grind
Also very good levelling for 71-80
And will be packed on endwalker launch with reapers and sages
Some of the weapons from EX trials have glowy versions
anyone know if this questline is also a comedy questline like hildibrand?
Is that a good Guide to follow?
Akhmorning.com has better tbh
Hi guys kinda new anyone willing to help me on understanding the mechanics for pugilist?
Get into the zone and Relic, PreQuests then the Grind lol
I think I would have enough time before Endwalker?
Those quests continue to story to get to the final zone to get all steps
Yoy can literally finish the relic in a week
From scratch
Do your 123 and you change stances. Certain stances unlock different attacks
Nice
If you have the FC MGP buff and the scroll MGP buff, do they stack?
6 Stages for Blades Justice lol
not quite a comedy, as it leans more serious but it has its moments with laughs
which roulette gives more exp upon completion - alliance raid or leveling dgn
what are the lvl 50-70 combat related beast tribes to get xp with?
Vath and Vanu Vanu for 50-60, Ananta and Kojin for 60-70
Any tips on how to beat the quest in the dark of the night? Noctis keeps dying before I even get halfway thru the enemy's health
Are you doing towers
Where can I go to look for a guild?
THanks
#recruitment-crystal
so, how do you pull wall to wall in a dungeon without losing aggro? Do you just hope no one tries to attack the mobs until you reach the other end?
Aoe
ok, so you keep coming back to them to hit them with aoe
Just one hit or two is enough
Thanks @obsidian patio and @boreal storm for the tip
And then throw your ranged move on them as you move
Using heals like Aurora, Equilibrium/thrill also generate aggro
Which does help for extra snap aggro
And a good trick to know
so I have the quest 'The light of inspiration' in the chat it says, go get the role quest in the crystarium, wandering stairs. But I can't see one for Healer?
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
probably did the first quest, so click on the link in the faq to see where the next one is
i'd dig deeper than polygon.com haha
in palace, why does it sometimes say "your aetherpool armor remains unchanged" ? I'm guessing that it's capped based on either floor or your level - is that right?
aetherpool increases will be less and less likely on lower floors the higher it gets
therefore it says "unchanged"
hrm, okay. thanks
the higher floor you are on, the higher the chance your pools will upgrade
and in some cases, 100% guaranteed pool upgrades from bosses
I believe floor 50, floor 100, and then each boss up to 200
will always give you +1/+1
is there any priority for spending proofs of mettle?
what's in mentor roulette exactly
then tank/healer at your own discretion
i got 3 so should i just dump them all into damage?
damage > health > healing
I did dps to 10 first and then did tank to 10, and then did healing last
damage is the most importnat because it makes stuff die faster
health is if you need to survive mechanics and is generally just helpful but less important than damage
heal boost is fine but not necessary at all so it's super low prio
All into damage, nothing else until it's capped
essentially
every duty in the game minus savage
and minus the coil of bahamut iirc
If I change my data center, will the parties in party finder change as well?
so basically everything including ex fights then?
yup, all ex fights will appear
Yes cause party finder is data centre wide
Different data centres have different party finders
for now at least
Oh damn thats awesome. Thank you
who knows if it will change eventually
thanks rhode
Thought I was trapped in a Blue Mage Data Center lol
60 😄
I wouldnt take what you see now as how PF looks
Cause the raid tier is fucking ancient
if you aren't max level, you aren't seeing all the duties
And the expansion is literally 2 months away
you can't see duties you haven't done yourself or unlocked
Is this way of ffxiv to makes me wanna get a blue mage?
so you only see the ones you have done up to level 60
If yes they are successfull cause I now want it and the mount
blue mage is pretty much a job made specifically to do older content
and what you see in pf is just older content
ohhh that makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot
so seeing blue mage parties is common in that case
does anyone know if gmg still has that 20% off deal, wanna get me endwalker
Thx again!
endwalker is still the same price
as far as I am aware
unless you meant the base game
Hello guys, how do you deal with flood of obscurity (e9s)for a blackmage?
there was some sort of coupon or code
Which is flood of obscurity again
Surecast
thats wood
you can surecast it, or position yourself to be knocked back to your called out position
im looking to get endwalker specifically already got the rest
Empty wood changes the field
Surecast is your anti knockback for casters
but yeah you can surecast it if you want
so i give myself an allowance to where i position myself?
It cancels knockbacks
whaaat?
For the duration
yes, surecast will make you invulnerable to knockback and draw-in effects
That's it's entire purpose
surecast cancels knockback?i thought its just to use sure spells
!action Surecast
How do I unlock the glowing replica of the first Resistance Weapon step?
"nullified most knockback and draw jn effects"
to not no be interrupted, oh wow
I only see the non-glowing replica
Goddamn it
The towers in Empty woods 2
The meteors
Tower/meteor marks are a decently common mechanic in high end stuff
Everyone has a tower they need to stand in
i see i get it now, was confuse getting this all info the in beggining
why cant we call it meteor
Cause they were called Towers first
ok thans vinyl
We usually call “the thing you need to stand in” as towers
Same reason we call Donut aoes Dyanmos
And point blanks, we call them Chariots
For the real boomers
Mostly because there is like 12 different things that can be called meteors
Like, anything proximity based is often called meteor
So yeah
i was so confused, cause in my mrhappy he doesnt called it towers, and im in jp DC
okay okay, finally got the macros now to abit
Yeah, it’s just that when you say Meteors people will often be like “Which Metoers?”
Like, in SoSex, there is LB meteors, Mage Meteor towers
And then there are meteor adds you need to destroy
So yeah in general we try to avoid using “meteor” to describe any mechanic lol
how do i complete the Hope's Confluence quest?
What part are you stuck on? The quest looks very straightforward.
Anyone who is familiar with XIV art contests? The weapon design rules say you must use the provided design templates; does that mean my final design needs to be overlayed onto the jpeg they provide? or that I just need to follow weapon shapes provided by them?
why are the relic quest so long
relics are meant to be a grind
It needs to fit within the given templates, from what I can tell.
this was my assumption too, but worried about getting disqualified if its not also overlayed onto the template in the submission lol
anyone know how to get the delivery moogle quest thwack-a-mole? I appear to be missing it somehow...
Meteors you catch in Ruby ex, meteors from blm lb3, meteor the spell being cast...
You get the idea @gray crescent
you need to do Doing the Dirty Work and Spirits Most Foul to get it
@heavy wadi i know, just want to know how long is each grind for the replicas, seem alot of work just for them
they usually release a step or two per patch to fill content gaps, expecting them to take a few weeks or months, but you can do them faster if you dont have much else to do. the older ones seem longer than the newer ones, imo
where did i get these coil of bahamet from, ik i get them from ||alisaie|| but i forgot where
Right forget the catachable meteors
Discarded
ouch alright
how syncing works in Eureka? same eLvl but he has more hp? i'm job lv 79 and he's lv 80
Elemental gear
he's wearing raid gear lv 80
i'm wearing lv 60 gears (leveling through roulette, so haven'g upgraded since lv 60)
That’s why
Then you're undergeared
Eureka syncs to i300
Eureka doesn't sync up
I see, I thought it's like Bozjan where I can just wear anything and it sync me to 430
ok ty ty
No
2 per CE
from raids instead though
how do you know if you have the armory bonus for your alt job?
just 1?
Just 1
When it’s not your highest level class

which would be faster, zadnor CEs or raids? I've got 30 of each the FATE item
is there like an indication or some sort of display or is that it, just the highest level class?
If the CEs are up then CEs
But they have an hour Cooldown
And people in Zadnor don't really work to spawn them
It's applied to any job that's lower than your max leveled job
There is no display that i'm aware of that indicates this
so is there any way to put a gcd timer somewhere more visable on the screen independent of my current configureation which i like very much ui wise?
Add it to a bar that you wont use, and place it where you want on the screen
you can use a hotbar, make it super large, and then put only one skill on it in the middle of your screen to indicate GCD
works only if you have the 'hide empty slots' option though
So I'm doing the post stormblood quest and for some reason I can't get Doman enclave on my map, I need to walk to the boat every time I go there.
didn't know that exsisted!
should i make a macro telling everyone when i use living dead?
thank you all!
is there an easy way to see what songs I've already unlocked from everywhere, or do I have to go to an inn and talk to the jukebox?
It doesn't hurt, most DRK's do
There should be an Aetheryte there, I don't know if it was always there or not, maybe you just need to continue the post game quests
jukebox
Does anyone know if ng+ reflects quest completion, like will certain dialogues be changed if I've completed certain quests?
small indie company 😦
it should reflect it yeah
ctrl+o opens the orchestrion list if you didn't change the keybind, else it's in the logs menu
What do interrupts like Head Graze and Interject actually do?
stop an enemy finishing a cast
I understand they're intended to cancel monsters' cast timers but I have never found a situation where it actually works
the cast bar has to be flashing/shaking for normal interrupts to work
you can tell if a cast can be interrupted if the cast bar flashes
general FF question: In the earlier games, was Shinryu ever a secret boss in a treasure chest???
Hhhhhuh
ffv shinryu was literally a monster in a box encounter yeah
!faq interrupt
Ah thanks, someone afking by me has the minion out and it just went into a box, never noticed before
Cool, I had no idea there was a visual indicator for that
I thought interrupts were literally useless lmao
you want to use an interrupt in every situation it comes up
it's not common but when it does, you'll need it
there are some weird casts that have fast cast time and can be interrupted
usually you want to ignore them, the longer cast time spells are what they want you to interrupt
yeah it's usually the big ones that take a long while to cahrge up that you want to interrupt
stuff like a garlean mage casting fire isn't a big deal
but stuff like one of the adds in first stormblood dungeon needs an interrupt to avoid big damage
!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)
whats limit break do for paladin? does it buff the party for a bit? or is it like a quick thing that comes and gos instantly. just curious
damage reduction
generally tank LBs are unused unless you absolutely need it for a clutch turnaround on mechanics
or scripted events where you get LB3
otherwise leave it for healers/DPS
Each role lb type is listed on the button
20% 10 seconds / 40% 15 seconds / 80% 8 seconds
damage reduction
how do i know which one of these is what character
how do you repeat floors in potd? like say i just wanted to run 51-60 over and over.
ah ok cool thanks
Is there a good tanking guide? Want to look into it.
!faq tankguide
Thx
why i cant inv my friend?
Your friends is a plant.
They need to be on your world to invite them
So one of you needs to world visit the other
she managed to invite me somehow
just fully backed up my character for ew
and staying at her world
look, config, settings, hotbar etc
If you don’t mind the Gil cost and want to skip grinding White Scrips, full
Aesthete is more than enough
@obsidian patiohow do i get white scrip, i get yellow from custom delivery but white how?
High quality
It means it has stats that are equiliant to that item level..
Normal quality versions have LESS stats than that ilvl should have
@faint flarethanks
anyone knows how long are the final cutscenes for 3.3 ending
idk if I should watch now or go to bed
if it has that warning, it’ll be looong
no but 30+ min
alright sounds good can do that
get a snack
haha yea
I think later down the line, some of those “long cutscenes” actually require action?
only if you get a warning about level sync
'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/
Link at the bottom has where they are
Hey why is the coil of bahamut have 5 turns?
Does this mean I have to run it 5 times?
No

It’s individual duties
Yea
yeah its just duties
I know but i#do I have to beat all 5 to get the next quest?
Also you can just do turn 5 to unlock the next part
Oh ty
But then you miss lore, which is why most do coils
What do I do with these items in firmament? It's not allowing me to get them inspected or they cannot go on the market board
With a bunch of lvl 80s, coils is a joke
Trash
But you get set back to 50
Unsync
Oh ok
its like a mini cystal tower
So I wasted my time getting these 7% chance items
You need groups of 5 to approve
what do i do with these
Group of 5 min ok
Those are old expert receipe items
They exist for achievement sakes
Craft replica coil gear that’s dyeable
They’re generally dirt cheap on the marketboard.
Subjective
idk what coil gear looks like
Do coils then
Has anyone figured out the number of Idealized Equipment Chests you should have before you use your High Legatus Marks to buy the missing pieces?
I figure it'd be something like (18 Classes * 3 equip slots) and at that point you should have enough chests that you can just redeem for the remaining ones...
nvm I'm dumb
Hello ^^ is it possible to make a Macro for Changing the setting of
Display Limits - Character And Object Quantity - "Maximum,High,Normal,Low,Minimum"?
best mat to buy with allegory?
Things listed from spirit ethers and up are the main ones
Yeah
ok ill go check those
Those are the Exarchic/grade 4 pot mats
fair enough
are the DRK quests after lvl 70 equally as good?
do you have to do a bit of leveling up resistance in bozja to do the relic quests?
More of just a catch up with your trainers
You need rank 10 for all steps
Cause you need access to Zadnor
hey! can i do the delubrum reginae step of the relic where i need to collect 15 artifacts as a machinist if it's for whm?
Yes
ty!
so i should find the bozja discord and find a party to level up ranking
No step requires you to be that job
Just shout in the zone
thanks, the quest text was a bit confusing ^^
more of a philisophical question than an in game one, just got to heavensward. How do you keep pushing yourself to play especially when endwalkers so close and there's no way i'll complete things in time to start end walker on day 1 😦
yes, but specific to each job? Or just any job?
The yellow side quests are for all jobs
ah
Just give title, materia and catch up with your job trainer
so i dont need to level drk past lvl 70 for the story right

no, i mean, for the job quest storyline
At lvl 50 RDM, should I be saving my swiftcast
Those basically end at 70 with small catch up at 80
No
It's a dps increase to use it
After I get raise, I would save it for that, right?
oh ok
You want to avoid jolt as much as possible
Swift allows you to get another aero/thunder to fish for procs
so pop swiftcast and then the highest potency spell I have?
You use it on thunder/aero yes
To fish for procs
And helps boost mana as well
To get to melee combos faster
!faq 50rdm
Ah ok I get it at 52
that's a great faq thanks, I was searching for something like it under the "r" category
you dont, do what you enjoy and dont worry about catching up with other players
youll get there eventually
yeah play at your own pace 🤔 what are you in a hurry for
My gatherer's log for miner has been completed but i still don't have 220 unique items gathered for the achievement, anyone knows what im missing ? (193/220)
Hello all, quick question instead of popping back to Limsa and having to travel back. Can Allagan Tomestones be stored with the retainer? I've apparently hit 2000 and the next thing should give more...figured if not i would try and spend some prior.
Didn't realize there was a 2000 limit until it prompted.
I thought you could give the retainer currency though like gil?
what do i buy with yellow scrips after the landking/handking gear? mastery books and materia?
Only gil
Ok, thanks!
Any thing specifically worth while to put them towards? I mean I was going to get the minions and maybe orchestrations but?
!faq poetics
You can get good 50/60/70 armor with it
Ok, may pop back and see then. Might as well spend it vs losing on getting more.
Thanks!
i've never done a hunt train, but im in a dc. How long does a hunt train typically take?
and its highly encouraged to have flight right
must have
Yes cause you fly everywhere
you won't catch up without flight
ah ok
have you buy folklore and gather anything inside those?
gotta finish aethercurrents then
Oh no but since they are on the other page with things that didn't count i thought they didn't matter either huh,
Guess i was wrong then :/ ty
So just finished shadowbringers, what do I do for gear now?
need 460gs for level 80 dungeon roulette. currently 422
Buy the i510 crafter gear, purchase tombstone gear from Elmure
The crafted gear is a good start to endgame gear
Hey everyone. I'm trying to beat a levequest but i'm too highlevel to weaken the enemy without killing it. Any suggestions on how to do it w/o starting a new job?
Where do i buy the crafter gear from?
take off all gears
and where is elmure?
and use auto attack skill from general action&traits
Eulmore
if you finished MSQ, you would know
Market board. I’m mispelling it, but it’s the place with the fat king dude
i cant figure out this quest
ah~
thanks
Look around the head
jaw stomach
How long does it take for a item to be delivered when bought from the mog station?
0-24 hours
I just bought a phial to change my look and it’s not in my inventory or moogle guy
just started the ishgardian restoration, why are grade 1-3 items unavailable?
oh okay
is it regarded rude to kick people afking in msq and allliance?
Basically tier 1 to tier 3 is more like season 1-3 of the ranked season
saw some high geared people just afk in them
kinda annoyying
fun
If I run a trust dungeon will it count for wo wonderous tales?
How do veteran rewards work? Do you need to be subbed continuously no break in order to get them?
no
So how does it work?
Just total days subscribed
Ok, thanks so much Wynne! 🙂
Does it not count if Crysta is used?
Pretty sure it counts
As long as you are subbed it’s subbed
For Alliance, not rude at all to kick, for msq roulette ehhhhh
don't think anybody would mind if you vote kick them
It's not rude if they just intentionally griefing the party
You can’t kick people not in your party tho
yeah, that's out of your control, I'll just let it go if it's not on your party
don't yell or shout, it made you the villain
At what point in the story do i get to fight Rathalos?

hey guys, i have the menphilia rings to give me additional 30% exp but i don't see it, does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
It's part of your +200% xp
my friends shows up as +230% though
brand new ring add 30%
menphina's is also 30
oh ok that makes sense, tyty
yea he has both equipped
how much does rest exp give?
rested is 50%
hey guys, new to the game. what's a simple dps class to play? one that's as stationary as possible, since i have trouble moving and attacking at the same time. i won't be doing any serious group content, just whatever is required for the story.
all classes are viable
Black mage 
and all simple enough
Black mages have to stand still and cast. Which fits what you want
ok. think ranged or caster would be better than melee?
up to you
ok i'll check into black mage, thanks
black mage is turret mage 
how about bard and summoner, have to mash attack buttons while moving?
Yeah haha, playing Black Mage now that sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
Are the HW Alliance Raids as easy as the Crystal Tower ones? Easily puggable?
You only need to move to dodge stuff
you probably want a mobile class
All 24mans ar casual content
ok. idk if it really even matters, since i'm planning to do just story content and some simple dungeons. i just don't want to mess up in a group.
range job like bard, machinist, dancer can move while attacking
You can't really mess up in groups
thanks for helping guys@
Literally
alliance raids arent typically hard, harder then dungeons and normal trials, easier then extreme fights
Just press 👏 your 👏 buttons 👏
its really hard to screw up you job in dungeons
alliance raids are like some where in between cause they have alot of kill mechanics since there are so many people around
i'm pretty damned casual these days 🙂
unless you fail to dodge a basic circle
what would you guys say has the simplest, most static rotation?
of what role?
dps
dragoon probably
Dragoon for melee, black mage for caster
or machnist
k. dragoons have many positional attacks?
im lvl 70 should i buy the scaevan set or is there a better set
The rears are back to back
You should
how much running around do they have to do to get in position? does it even matter for my level of content?
that is the best gear in stormblood
@topaz estuary scaevan is the best lvl 70 gear that's easily obtainable with poetics now
you can ignore positional if you want...
Not much
Scaven is best 70 gear
mostly in dungeon you just spam aoe..
buy scaven and it will carry you half way through shadowbringers
Ignoring BiS of course
!faq positional
ok cool, i'll look up black mage and dragoon. thanks guys!
and if you miss them its not a big deal
if you want
no one is going to force you
if you look for it yes, but its mostly just a memes rp wise
nah i like a social game and some light rp
ok cool, time to create a character. thanks guys!
Where can I check what kind of content I have to complete before the new expansion?
I missed on the "Walking on Sunshine" title last patch when they removed the quest.
What are they gonna remove next expansion?
They usually don't remove content
It's extremely rare for content to actually be removed
Belts, HQ materials?
That's not content
i wouldnt call that content
oh another question, i heard the game gets much harder after the original content. is that true across the board, or only for raiding?
And the achievement related to HQ Items are being adjusted
True
Not for story
Ishgard restoration still has old mats available so people can do the achievements
Story is designed for everyone to be able to complete
in general you get more skills as you go
and the game will expect you to use your buttons
ok thanks again
What achievements?
Ones for old expert receipes
SE doesn't do the whole removing major content thing
Only diadem is the one piece of content that flat out got removed/hard reworked
And the Saint/beatus of the Firmament titles if you count those
Thanks for clarifying 👍🏻
oooooone more question: does dragoon have a bunch of combos you have to remember, or basically one static rotation?
its a pretty static rotation
Static rotation of 2 combo chains
You literally just bounce between the two the entire fight
where do you get gear thats higher ilvl than Exarchic?
sounds pretty simple. thanks!
Revelation tomes, Last nier raids Eden savage
btw does Dragoon stop functioning once the combo chain is broken?
I mean for SAM, I broke my 60s rotation and I no longer know how to recover
eden is this xpacs version of bahamut right?
For NIN, I misline a TA I kinda want to jump
Yes
I think DRG hurts a lot less?
ah crap, you screw up the rotation and you're screwd?
No
ok ty
As in you can just kinda line stuff back up and keep going?
Your gcds will be out of wack
But as long as your life windows aren't fucked up you'll be fine
Like I have like... 3 days of experience on SAM
Most people don't really go into Life window optimisation
My feeling is after around 60s opener, my rotation becomes freestyle
Like, I can do a pretty perfect rotation on a dummy now
Tried e9s, brambles line up with first 60s stuff
crap maybe i should just stick with black mage lol
I panic and go free style
I still can’t figure out how to jump from free style Sam to know what I’m doing
well black mage also has a rotation
I think I just need more practice...?
You just need to learn how to recover
is black mage rotation more forgiving than dragoon?
nope
Hello, the Fete is about to start in my server but there's like 3 people here. Is this okay?
ok guess i'll try a dragoon then, sounds pretty cool
Yes
It literally just clicking stuff
can end in spots with 0 mana as black mage and be useless for a couple seconds
Yeah, I’m like, ok I used Enpi... does this mean my filler goes from 3 to 4 GCD or to 2 GCD?
And while thinking about this my brain stop and keep spam Enpi
if you screw up
okay thanks! got worried im in the wrong place
Yeah make sense
And then after my 4th Enpi my brain stops even harder
So 3 - 4 GCD equals... FREESTYLE!
btw will there be markers on the map on where to go?
ohh nice okok
As you should be doing always
are the starting locations always the same? or it changes?
The difference fetes are in different areas of the map
But the order is the same everytime
gotcha, maybe the people are already in the starting location
But yeah I think after I do 4 GCD filler in a 3 GCD filler gear set, I just pretend I did 3 GCD and keep going...
starting fete is always same spot, yes
oh..how come i dont have the poses
thanks!
If I remember the order it’s 5, 3, 4, 4, 6 for gold
Not sure about the first number, let me know if I’m wrong
thank you!
Can i have both the anima and zodiac weapon as in farming both at the same time or do i gotta choose?
I meant Zodiac, so the ARR and HW Relics
If you’re talking light farm, one at a time
i just bought the starter pack of xiv and when i go to download it steam gets stuck on creating local game files can anyone help?
i literally just beat arr D:
can anyone join a discord call with me and look at this quest? idk if its bugged or not?
i killed the boss already
i've been running around looking for what i have to do
it says defeat the enemy forces, i cant find anything targetable
i was gonna ask in a specific class channel but it applies across multiple classes i guess, in big packs, as im levelling in dungeons as a DoT using DPS should i dot every mob then AOE spam or just AOE spam?
prob dot priority targets and then aoe
Summoners can bane dots, bards can dot stuff as tank pulls
ooh oki, yeah playing bard atm, so i dot as they pull mobs?
Aoe when they stop
bards don't need to dot every single mob in a trash pull. dot like 3 and then move into aoe spam
gotcha
can anyone help me with this quest please?
thanks for the help ❤️ really appreciate it ❤️
3 mobs minimum, more If they keep pulling
Cause trying to Conal aoe when running is half ass
xD
Also if the trash is taking longer you can spam rain of death and later shadow arrows AoE along with Quick Nock
im gonna join the casual FFXIV 1 channel if anyone can help me with this quest
You just do that anyway
Well shadowbites is very useful and it has the same cool down as the aoe
Which is 60 seconds
You're using them both
Shadowbite/Sidewinder
But yeah trash mob, wait to see how much they pull, QN meanwhile then hit them with ShB/RoD along with QN
Dot high health targets then AOE
A lot of times mobs in dungeons will not live for the full uptime of the dot
i'm a level 80 DRK on Behemoth who just had a falling out with their previous guild can anyone help me get into one? preferably NSFW friendly, idk if this is the section to ask under
I think for like Bard you want to at least DoT a single high health target?
High health targets should be dotted yes
Since you get the, fancy AOE thing
what does this mean
You can extract material
It means you can get free materia
In what itemlevel-range is gear that would produce Materia Level 3 when extracted? Im looking for Savage Aim 3.
Can’t remember if part of MSQ
yeah i extracted before and thought i was messing with my gear
Crafting quests right? item lvl 45-60
Oh I mean when extracting spiritbound gear, what itemlevel would produce Materia level 3
Its Ilevel 45-60?
Yes
Nice, thanks
Make sure to use spiritbond pots
Thx so much for the tip. That will save me ages lol
What emote do you use to feed the fenrir pup pet?
U pet, it howls, how do you het the feed animation

(Don't ask why it couldn't have been just /give)
does tt cards drops from undersized dgs?
ye
damn
lancer is the prereq for dragoon, right?
Yah
thanks. lancer have a bunch of positional attacks?
It has some
can pretty much be ignored for story mode?
Don’t ignore your positionals
ok. also, summoner considered pretty difficult to play?
What is a vibe check?
k cool
but yeah, hard question to answer
since we wouldn't want you to develop a bad habit of ignoring positional
but as long as you dodge the bad stuff, I don't think anyone would mind in story content
so you think summoner would be doable for a new player, even with the first expansion difficulty?
Yes, all jobs are viable and can be gotten into
any class are viable yeah
and also, what's the prerequisite for summoner?
Arcanist
ok thanks guys
It’s just whatever ones you enjoy playing more/are better with
Are raid 24 tokens still a weekly loot or is it unlocked ?
UNlocked
They've been unlocked for... awhile now.
yeah, havent played for a while so i didn't know, thanks
Since 5.55, I think? A little before that?
5.58 removed it
5.55 was savage
For some reason I thought the cap on coins was unlocked at the same time as Savage
the weathered AF4 isnt worth keeping after you get the Idealized version right?
just chuck it?
Chuck
can always get it back easily from grenodlt

ok wait. i just got to the end of char creation, and eather worlds aren;t accepting any new characters. how do i switch to another NA server or world cluster or whatever, without starting over?
i don't see how to save my character so i can get back to the title screen. also, are ANY north american worlds accepting new characters?
when you finish all the appearance, tick the check icon, you are asked to save current appearance or not
so the only NA worlds that are accepting new characters are low pop rp servers?
wait till off-peak time if you want to roll on Mateus and Balmung
both are pretty popular server
is there any way to see if a world is accepting new players from the data center screen?
i was going to play on Siren because someone invited me to join their guild there, but it looks like it's full
Siren is on aether which all of aether is deemed congested

so you can't make a new character on any of those worlds
perfect, thank you for that server list!
you can play healer
which part did he die from
The wind boss
are you doing the mechanics
The only reason why noctis dies is because you're either ignoring mechanics or your DPS is too slow
Can someone tell me if there are fending gloves with claws
tell us which part did he die from
ah yeah stack marker
yes. yes you were ignoring mechanics
understandable
The XV event is technically Stormblood content, but the marker standardization didn't occur until late Heavensward
They really need to fix that
don't forget it, you will see it a lot more
I havent done any of the
monster tribes
things
since I unlocked a few
am I missing out
on something?
Stupid question but. Does samurai have better aoe than red mage? Just came back and excited for the red mage changes.

Doesn't make them better or worse than the other
Not really, those are neat side stories but they reward you with mount & minion
So is red mage much better in aoe damage?
No clue
you can get mounts, minion's and emotes as reward also a few glamours as reward but you can tyt or ignore it if you don't care about these
RDM looks crazy good at AOE in EW tho
Yeah thats why I asked
Like, EVERYTHING I DO IS NOW AOE
But yeah anyway no idea how to measure
People generally don’t care about AOE damage that much
I really wanted red mage to be more aoe focused so glad EW did it too
Just if AOE rotation is fancy, or satisfying to execute
They all can do AOE just fine
