Cure 3 is amazing

Tf you on

[nimble cipher]

there's so many better aoe heals

[faint flare]

No

It's the best aoe heal

[boreal storm]

Stacks

[faint flare]

It literally solos E12s

Enrage

And solos J waves in TEA

[nimble cipher]

maybe I'm too low lv, never used it and everyone tells me not to

[faint flare]

Cure 3 bombs are the biggest heals you can get

[craggy tinsel]

Cure 3 is good if you aren't on top of the group when you need to heal them all at once. That's why it's so good.

[faint flare]

It's downside is it's small range

But in high end content

That's not an issue

[nimble cipher]

lv 66 rn

[faint flare]

Cause people have brains and are stacked

Thus it's range is moot

[slate arrow]

cure3 is essential in raids

in pubs when people are scattered to the four winds yeah it's useless

[vagrant crescent]

Is there a keybind for dismount without the use of hotkey or no?

[faint flare]

Cure 3 + plenary is basically full HP heal to everyone

[slate arrow]

that's when you just let people perish if they're standing in Narnia

[slate arrow]

Stance

[craggy tinsel]

And even then, it's still good. As an aoe heal if everyone's close together it's huge. Assize being 400, Medica being 300, Medica 2 being 200 (+100 potency on the HoT), Afflatus Rapture 300.... and then Cure 3 is 550

[faint flare]

Cure 3 is the Strongest aoe gcd heal in the game

[vagrant crescent]

?

[autumn oasis]

If I'm on simple job gauge, is there a rule of thumb to know what a card does at a glance?

AST

[slate arrow]

The button you press to take out/put away your weapons, Z by default

[slate arrow]

Purple is ranged, blue is melee

*border color

[autumn oasis]

I uh have difficulty distinguishing the two bc of red-green colorblindness

Am I fucked lmao

[craggy tinsel]

possibly

[autumn oasis]

good thing I'm not an AST main

[slate arrow]

You could try blowing up the minor arcana button

[vagrant crescent]

Oh ok. Thank you :D

[slate arrow]

Lord is for melee and ladies is for ranged

[autumn oasis]

wat

[slate arrow]

!action minor arcana

[zinc orbit]

**Minor Arcana** : lvl 50 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Converts currently drawn arcanum into the Lord of Crowns when Balance, Arrow, or Spear, or the Lady of Crowns when Bole, Ewer, or Spire.
Only one arcanum effect can be applied to a target at a time.

Even if you don't have this unlocked it still shows the card if you use this to play

!action lord of crowns

[zinc orbit]

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

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

[slate arrow]

It's functionally the same, except it doesn't provide AST seals for divination

[autumn oasis]

oh at lvl 50

okay

[slate arrow]

and you can see it has a unique symbol

Which is hopefully better than the borders for you

[autumn oasis]

glad ot hear that the cards get simpler at lvl 50

[slate arrow]

no they don't

You gotta think about your divination

!action divination

[autumn oasis]

it says it converts the cards

[zinc orbit]

**Divination** : lvl 50 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

You don't always use minor arcana

Cause it doesn't give seals for divination

[slate arrow]

Minor arcana doesn't grant you the seals you need for divination

[autumn oasis]

screw it I'm just going to make flash cards and memorize every single card

who needs borders if you know what each card does

[slate arrow]

@autumn oasis consider messaging the dev team and ask if you could customize job UI colors

Via the help desk

that's one of the many things they're receptive to feedback on at any rate

[autumn oasis]

hmm sure if it'll help other people with the same problem

[narrow jay]

Might be easier to just memorise a single group, and then you know the other group isn't that one.

Like, I think basically "arrow/spear/balance"

and that's my melee group

[autumn oasis]

Why have so many cards that do the same thing? Or does each card serve a diffierent function later on?

[narrow jay]

so anything not them is ranged

They used to all do different things.

[autumn oasis]

oh

[narrow jay]

But in practice, the only thing players did was hunt for the damage-up bonus.

So the devs removed the functions no one was using.

[autumn oasis]

I guess simplifying that system to two cards would hurt class fantasy

[warm snow]

Blue card = melee

[autumn oasis]

would be nice QOL tho

[warm snow]

Purple = ranged

[autumn oasis]

scroll up

[warm snow]

They're changing the system again larer

In endwalker

But we don't have the full specifics

Probably won't be as varied as old cards tho

[autumn oasis]

ok cool, that sounds exciting

[narrow jay]

Yep. Might be better to wait to get too deep into Ast until the update happens.

[turbid pilot]

Can I get some help uploading to FFlogs?

[autumn oasis]

I'm mostly just trying to level AST to 70 to make use of the road to 70 bonus

Don't really plan on touching the job much tbh

[warm snow]

Also, the old skill speed buff could make melee run out of tp

[finite cedar]

Can wonderous tales activities be done Unsync because these Alliance raid queues are taking a long time

[faint flare]

Yes

[finite cedar]

really?

[faint flare]

But you'll still need a handful of people for unsync 24mans

[narrow jay]

Yes

[finite cedar]

ah

[faint flare]

1 per alliance minimum

To even que

[finite cedar]

well it wasn't working when I went in for ARR EX trials

[faint flare]

Plus more if there's shit like atomos

Unsync is how everyone does WT

[finite cedar]

well I guess there were just issues with mine

[raven bolt]

MNK mains should I pick up monk now? or wait until 6.0?

[faint flare]

Make sure you actually qued into the correct version of the fight

Ie extreme and not hard

[finite cedar]

Guess I'll just have to try them and see if it actually works

I'll report back once I get done with few to see if they work

[pulsar escarp]

You can go for it now, doesn’t look too different in the trailer and it’ll be cool to have it leveled for endwalker imo

[obsidian patio]

The main system changing for MNK in 6.0 is how Perfect Balance works

The rest of the job seems to play the same

At least with what we know

They’re also combining all the greased lightning traits into one and giving you the full bonus earlier

So you’ll have a 2 second GCD immediately at level 1, if I interpreted the live letter right

[summer pelican]

Hi, is there a LFG discord other than Elemental EN raid that I can visit to find a group to do some of the older raids synced?

[hasty turtle]

highest exp yielding lv70 dungeon?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure they’re all the same, and give worse experience than Castrum Abania, the level 69 dungeon.

[hasty turtle]

makes sense

[raven cloud]

can I move the scrolling combat text?

[obsidian patio]

No, if you mean the stuff that pops when you use actions

You can change the size of it or disable it in character config > UI settings

[raven cloud]

I mean like the damage I take or heals I get

[obsidian patio]

Same thing for that

[wispy shell]

How do you kick somoene thats dc for a while from the party?

[raven cloud]

ugh, okay. thanks

[obsidian patio]

Party menu > right click their name

[wispy shell]

It only says view search info when i do that as leader

[jade quartz]

By default the party menu is opened with O on keyboard.

[wispy shell]

Ah I got it

Yeah i wasnt checking that menu

[vagrant crescent]

Is there a mod that give it's own unique looking exp bar? If so then what's the name?

[deep herald]

do you think there will be more of a clearly defined meta in ew

[jade quartz]

Nah

Hopefully not if they do their job right

[deep herald]

i wanna main dnc and bard

[jade quartz]

Then go for it

[heavy wadi]

there will never be a meta

especially since jobs seem relatively the same as they are now

[jade quartz]

That’s a strong assertion

There could be a meta again.

However, they’ve learned a lot from the game’s history and seem to have figured out what pitfalls in design lead to enforced meta jobs.

So hopefully the current state of things will continue.

[patent citrus]

where can I find the spell sound effect files in game?

or do I have to record them manually?...

[green grail]

they're stored in bigger files that have some magic file extension so that you can't dig through easily

so your best bet would be becoming a datamine wizard or just recording them from gameplay

[obsidian patio]

Best to ask in https://discord.gg/ffxivtextools

[patent citrus]

I see, yeah

hmm I'm afraid to use mod or something like this cause It might corrupt my files and hinder my gameplay in the future

I'll just record manually

ty ty

[split dust]

Idk if this is normal, but i got DC from the game and then this happens, there is a fix? Already restarted

[faint flare]

Just log in

Character data just means the server is being slow

Just log in

[split dust]

aw

Well, i think i'll wait some time

[spare plinth]

you can do the extreme trials from arr solo can you?

[faint flare]

Yes

[split dust]

this can be the maintenance thing or something?

[bright anchor]

Isn't maint tomorrow?

[hearty acorn]

yeah i screwed up nvm

[bright anchor]

Happening to a lot of people right now

[split dust]

ah okie

thought it was only me. Np then, ill wait

[fallen niche]

Yeah something weird is happening in hyperion

A friend said their now in queue

of 1327

[split dust]

dayum

[spare plinth]

is urth fount with odin something that you should do solo or you can do blind like any other trial with a party via duty finder

[fallen niche]

Solo unsynced later.

[obsidian patio]

While it’s technically a “normal” trial according to the duty finder, it’s basically an extreme fight

[fallen niche]

Urth's fount is a bit too much for your average duty finder

[obsidian patio]

It has a tight DPS check

[fallen niche]

the tankbuster also hurts, a lot.

[split dust]

I saw your friend 1327 and raise it to 2726

[bright anchor]

oh my lord. well hey, gives us a reason to do something productive around the house now xD

[leaden ginkgo]

which relics are easier ARR or HW?

[warped nest]

Heavensward

Imo

[last mural]

Does HW Allied Beast Tribe quest require all bloodsworn? Or just sworn?

[modest igloo]

Sworn

Oh HW

Yeah it’s bloodsworn and then the final quest makes it allied

[last mural]

Ooof...

Just got bloodsworn for the Vath, and was very dissapointed that the final quest was short and not worth the effort...

[spiral inlet]

they are practically

max level

what am I doing wrong lol

[last mural]

Perhaps a use of chemistry is required? There are some that boosts your tactical ability when requirements are met

[spiral inlet]

chemistry?

whats chemistry

[last mural]

For example

[spiral inlet]

wtf

how the F do you get that

[boreal storm]

randomly

[obsidian patio]

You get them from missions in the 2nd and 3rd category

[outer mural]

also you don't need to have all 3 maxed out to succeed

[last mural]

Did you not get any chemistry at all? Your recruits are max level

[outer mural]

it's just RNG if they don't meet all 3

[obsidian patio]

Go to the regimen board and see if you have any waiting to be activated

[last mural]

After every squadron mission, there's a chance they can learn a new chemistry

[last mural]

when they do, u need to talk to them, and register their new chemistry to save it

[obsidian patio]

Inghil has one waiting

[faint flare]

The blue lightning

Shows there's one available

[last mural]

Talk to your Inghil, and click the lightning icon

[spiral inlet]

so I talk to him?

[last mural]

and confirm whether u want to keep the new chemistry

in this case, yes u do, because Inghil currently has no chemistry, so u might as well take it

[boreal storm]

It tells you if they got one when they come back from missions

[spiral inlet]

[leaden ginkgo]

every time you go on a mission they put a warning message saying u will lose unused chemistry

[spiral inlet]

damn

I been literally

training them all the time

because

they couldn't do missions

[last mural]

For example, after a mission, u may see this:

[spiral inlet]

all the way to 60

[plucky kestrel]

is it possible to trade old Rowena tokens in to get some tomes back since we can't use them anymore? eg:****

[last mural]

it means 2 of the characters can learn new chemistry

[obsidian patio]

Yeah you don’t get chemistry from trainings

[obsidian patio]

Nope, completely worthless

[spiral inlet]

what does independent mean?

[plucky kestrel]

ughhhhhhhhh

[obsidian patio]

That’s for running dungeons with them

[last mural]

It's just stat bonus for command missions

if u're not doing command missions, u can ignore them

[spiral inlet]

oh ok

does

Races actually help

with missions?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[last mural]

No

Wait what?

[obsidian patio]

That’s a possible factor for chemistries

[last mural]

Oh, yeah, that

[obsidian patio]

But in terms of their stats, then no

[last mural]

Some chemistries have a race-base condition to activate

[obsidian patio]

A level 60 lalafell marauder has the same stats as a level 60 Au Ra marauder

[last mural]

Like so:

[spiral inlet]

if they fail a mission

can they still get

chemistry?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure not.

[spiral inlet]

wtf

why does your guys

[last mural]

They don't no

[spiral inlet]

look badass

[obsidian patio]

I did a LOT of missions

I don’t really run my squadron anymore except for the 3rd category now

[plucky kestrel]

did... did you make an all-popoto squadron?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[spiral inlet]

I'm going to

go to the gym

[last mural]

I'm still struggling to get Dolfin...

[spiral inlet]

and think about my life choices

[last mural]

PvP is a pain...

[spiral inlet]

in squadrons

LOL

[outer mural]

it's not a big deal

it seems like you 're maxed out already for your squad

i just run mine each week for the aetheryte tokens

[narrow jay]

Also, the only squad missions you must have all three stats over the minimum are the Flagged missions. Otherwise the stats that are too low simply give you an increasing chance to fail.

[outer mural]

they succeed within 2 - 3 days at worst

yep

what alla said

but it seems you're past that so w/e

[spiral inlet]

Im trying

[last mural]

Squadrons honestly are pretty pointless. Once they reached max level, and u got promoted to captain, aside from the weekly missions, there's naught else to do

[spiral inlet]

to do the aetheryte tokens

; ;

because

teleport

looming

[plucky kestrel]

just walk to the moon

it builds character

[tall bridge]

Is there a way to obtain a Darksteel Nugget without having armorer/Blacksmith or using the market? I cant find a way to obtain them.

[jade quartz]

You can get lucky from a boarskin or peisteskin treasure map

Or desynth

If you’re on the free trial I definitely would not be bothering

[tall bridge]

What do you mean with desynth? I have a 50 Goldsmith but dont really understand how that works.

[jade quartz]

Items can be right-clicked and desynthesised to give back a random material

How small does a safe area can be do you van dodge aoe?

[jade quartz]

Your hitbox is basically a point in the middle of your character’s targeting ring

[plucky kestrel]

if you can finagle the center point of your hitbox into it, it's safe

[empty moon]

can i ask about a mechanic in e12s here?

[jade quartz]

Try #endgame-lounge

[fallen niche]

Is there a way to macro Ninja's teleport skill just to go a bit in front of you with no target?

[empty moon]

okay ty

[jade quartz]

No

[fallen niche]

darn.

[tall bridge]

@jade quartz So I can just farm or purchase weapon with the potential to then give me darksteel nugget, dysenthesize and hope for the best?

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Desynth_resulting_in_Darksteel_Nugget

Weapons such as those, for example the ones from Grand Company?

[jade quartz]

Yes…you can do that

[tall bridge]

Thx a lot

[boreal storm]

alternatively, use miner

[autumn oasis]

Does weakened status affect lb damage

[zenith halo]

Which life skill can i afk do?

[slate arrow]

!faq limitbreak

[zinc orbit]

How Does Limit Break Work?

Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video

[slate arrow]

none, you gotta be active for them somehow

[outer mural]

tl;dr no

[slate arrow]

fisher you can semi AFK

[outer mural]

^
you basically have to cheat to afk

[zenith halo]

Oh ok, so which one should i start with lol

[slate arrow]

but you'll still have to cast and reel manually

[outer mural]

and that counts as botting and you may be banned on the spot if caught out by staff

[zenith halo]

Im 0 lvl in every single one

So i have no idea which one to do

[outer mural]

if you want an easy starter one, go botanist or miner

[slate arrow]

all of them or none

crafters are dependent on each other for mats

[boreal storm]

including gatherers

[outer mural]

if you wanna be optimal yeah, you wanna level them all up concurrently in level sets of 5

this is because they share gear, and as indust said, they make stuff for one another

if you level up only one at a time you'll find that x class is needed to make a certain material for the one you're oding

[zenith halo]

Thats gonna be a pain

im guessing for miner u dont need to do that?

since u can just but pickaxe from marketplace

[boreal storm]

gatherers share gear too

[outer mural]

gathers do not run into the same issue necessarily

they do need gear and you sohuld level them together

[slate arrow]

you can mostly just buy gear since endgame scrip gear is good enough

[outer mural]

but they do not inherently need one another to progress or level

[zenith halo]

Hmm so I should start with gather?

[outer mural]

that would be wise if you want to dip your toes into gathering/crafting

you can skip out on fisher

i would generally consider it its own side activity
it's used for some culinarian stuff though but it's not a big deal

[zenith halo]

Just wanna do something that will help me when im lvl 80

[outer mural]

do botanist or miner

[slate arrow]

wdym help

[zenith halo]

Like Late game stuff

[outer mural]

in what regard

money?

[slate arrow]

by themselves none of the crafters really "help"

[zenith halo]

gear or money

which is crafting right?

[outer mural]

correct

[slate arrow]

and gathering

[outer mural]

though this late in the tier and this close to endwalker

i wouldn't stress about crafting gear

and truth be told crafting your own gear will be a pain in the ass if you do not know what you 're doing when gearing up

[slate arrow]

and you gotta spend gil on overmelding and more

[zenith halo]

Ye i have no clue lol

[outer mural]

crafting HQ end-game gear (exarchic) to sell needs a heavy amount of investment

and it will be obsolete in under 2 months

[zenith halo]

Ok i wanna get gil's first so do i lvl gathers?

[outer mural]

yeah. it's not much gil but if you gather there will be stuff to sell
if you wanna take it slow that is

[slate arrow]

if you want gil you're better off doing treasure maps or other activities

[outer mural]

if you intended on gathering next expansion i would recommend levelling it now

so you have at least one or two ready going into it

maps will be a big boon. you can gather one per day and sell it

[zenith halo]

Yup ill do gathers and crafting ig.

[hardy scroll]

what does using this craft

[boreal storm]

nothing, it's just a free 5k gil

[hardy scroll]

so should i just sell it?

[slate arrow]

yes

[hardy scroll]

ight

[slate arrow]

that's true point

[hardy scroll]

I wish u had options for the color or look of the cards

damn

[boreal storm]

changing the deck wouldn't really make sense, other than for the above

[scarlet hinge]

I meant like the back of the card

not the face

Also how hard is it to get level 60 relic weapons?

[outer mural]

they're not hard they're jsut grindy

that being said it's mostly a poetics dump

so depends on how many poetics you have / prepped for the materials

since those are buyable befre you even begin the relic

[scarlet hinge]

how many poetics do u need

[outer mural]

otherwise it's some fate grinding (you can skip if u did ARR relic), a bunch of unsync dungeons and trials, and like 20 runs of a9s unsync

you need like 8 - 9k?

some ridiculously high number

someone correct me on the precise amount for the sum of the materials

[boreal storm]

Oh yeah there's the items that cost 80k seals

I'd really prefer to play on console but right now I'm forced to play on PC if I want to play at all.

Any advice help?

I went thru support they just tell me to do password recovery and say I've given enough information, but it won't e-mail me a code to preform password reset.

[boreal storm]

this is why you do all the crafters

[patent citrus]

yeah that's BSM

[tall bridge]

Thank you!

[lyric wave]

so ive been trying to download final fantasy for a while now but everytime i try to download it keeps having an error that says cant install patch files

ive never fully installed the game its like a 45 gig download

[boreal storm]

just open it back up, it "saves your progress"

[lyric wave]

no it doesnt it makes me start over again

[north leaf]

Any1 know any good resources for PSN account help?

[boreal storm]

It starts from the first undownloaded file

[north leaf]

I paired it to my PSN

[boreal storm]

it doesn't start over

[north leaf]

It's really fustrating playing on PC, so I'd like to do what I can

I'm liking the game

[languid jasper]

in msq content, do bards face tank or do they kite? if they kite, what's the technique? walking backwards with a snare on? circling? jump kiting like wow?

[north leaf]

And I lose out on all the collector's items I bought

[patent citrus]

just face tank with chocobo healer on your side

avoid the red stuff when the boss cast something

[languid jasper]

so kiting never required?

[patent citrus]

you can I guess

since bard can cast while moving

[boreal storm]

press buttons don't die

[patent citrus]

but me personally, I wouldn't bother and let the chocobo heal me

[languid jasper]

k thanks. and blm literally can't kite, right? total turret?

[boreal storm]

msq is easy, you don't need to do any of that

[languid jasper]

ok. maybe a good idea to practice kiting for harder content later on? or is it never really a thing in this game?

[boreal storm]

Tanks aggro the boss/adds

[outer mural]

kiting's not really a thing in hard content besides palace of the dead

which is fringe content

[languid jasper]

ok, i'll keep it simple as long as the game does. thanks for the advice!

[outer mural]

tanks drag the boss, that's as close as you get

[severe sonnet]

im very new, should i not have picked ninja as first character? all the dps justsu combos and rotations seem not easy :/

[outer mural]

you will learn

it's fine to pick it up

just stick with it

[patent citrus]

if you like it, you will figure it out!!

we believe in you!!

more practice and you'll be smooth in no time

[quartz comet]

Ffxiv have kiting outside mch ptod solo?

[gray crescent]

does daldaria/castrum spawns every 30mins? or just random?

[outer mural]

nah

[outer mural]

1 hour, reduced by set rate per CE/skirmish done

usually much less than an hour

[patent citrus]

yeah just make sure you are in very active instance

type /sea and see if the player limit is capped

[alpine ginkgo]

hi, i'm a recent 80 (war), and I'm looking to start doing some more higher end content if possible. however, this is my first mmo, and I don't really feel like anything in the MSQ really prepared me to know anything about end game content lol

is there a preferred path to start experiencing some of these more difficult content?

[near path]

Do the daily 50/60/70 and Leveling pull from the same pool of dungeons required for story?

[west parrot]

Anyone know the writer for the SHB weapons (cinder drift etc...) questline?

[patent citrus]

gear up, do extreme and savage

[patent citrus]

yeah, the more you unlock the more variation you'll get

the more chance you'll meet people who's first timer, more bonus, more wondrous trail second chance etc

[alpine ginkgo]

i think I already am doing kinda okay on gear, about 515 average right now with aug on weapon/chest/legs, was more looking to how to step into the content

just put up a pf and LFG?

and what kind of content is good to start with?

[patent citrus]

yeah generally or if you are the type of person who can meet up schedule, look up for fresh static

so you can meet up the same people each week, decide schedule etc

cloud deck extreme probably

gives you 525 weapon as a reward

[alpine ginkgo]

gotcha

any place to recruit for this?

[patent citrus]

PF, yeah

[alpine ginkgo]

cool thanks

[coarse meadow]

Are normal mode weapon trials difficult?

[patent citrus]

nope

just queue it up with DF

[coarse meadow]

Awesome. Ty

[shut panther]

Ex content basically eases you into the idea that the punishment for boss mechanics failure is very real, then Savage content stacks more boss mechanics on top, along with an expectation that you perform your class mechanics well

Luckily in your case Warrior mechanics are pretty simple

[obsidian patio]

Tanks also usually get easier individual mechanics which mostly boils down to “use your mitigation” or “tank swap”

[unreal pagoda]

may I use this chat to ask for help on a verminion challenge

[honest egret]

Is it possible to do The Binding Coil of Bahamut after finishing ARR

[umbral dune]

coil is separated from main story, you can done it at any time

[obsidian patio]

I’ve only done about 2/3rds of them, but I’ll try. Which challenge number?

[near path]

If you use Second Chance to reset an objective, can you complete it again for another stamp?

[obsidian patio]

Yes, that’s what it’s for.

[unreal pagoda]

it's the gilgamesh one

stage 19

it's hard

[near path]

👍

[obsidian patio]

Yeah that one is very involved. Try this guide. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/28572768/blog/4629440/

[unreal pagoda]

oh, it seems it is recommended for me to do a whole questline before I can do this

[boreal storm]

Yes, do Hildy

[obsidian patio]

Yeah he’s a very strong minion

Super OP for the challenges

[unreal pagoda]

I guess I must

[queen fern]

What stats are priority for Dark Knight?

I just got a Fae Guillotine and its stats are identical to the Scaevan Greatsword.

[unreal pagoda]

is this part of the right questline

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[boreal storm]

Crit > Comfy SkS > DH > Det

[obsidian patio]

Scaevan is very slightly better unless you need the skill speed to hit 5 GCDs in Delirium/Blood Weapon

[topaz basin]

When can i start making some money back as a crafter and what should i do to make some back?
I levelled my culinarian to 60 but now my gil is almost depleted doing so,i dont want to be stopped because i ran out of money

[alpine ginkgo]

i don't think you can really make much money with culinarian until 80?

[patent citrus]

can make job quest food if you like

[topaz basin]

I just want to at least make some

[alpine ginkgo]

they're super cheap though

you can always level a gatherer class along with it and just gather your own material if you're really short on money

[obsidian patio]

Yeah CUL is probably the worst at making money pre-80

[alpine ginkgo]

but yeah i think cul stuff doesn't sell for much

[obsidian patio]

Unless you go for leve items

[alpine ginkgo]

even leve items are pretty cheap unfortunately

i just bought all my cul levels off the market board and they're way cheaper than the rest

so making money off it seems a bit difficult

you could also do ishigard restoration for it and sell skybuilder scrip items?

but once again that is expensive unless you also have a gatherer

[regal hamlet]

Question; I know the Complete Edition has all expansions up to Shadowbringers and a 30 day sub, if I buy that will the option to pay in regular increments appear on Mog Center?

[alpine ginkgo]

yup that's what i did

[regal hamlet]

Like after the CE 30 day sub expires I mean, looking to make the leap from trial to CE

[obsidian patio]

Once you own the game at all, yes.

[regal hamlet]

You got it!

It’s on sale on PSN so that’s what I’m gonna do

[alpine ginkgo]

oh is it on sale? was thinking about picking it up for the psn rtoo

[regal hamlet]

Yup! $31.99 CAD

[patent citrus]

is it often sale on PSN?

complete edition

compared to the SE store

[alpine ginkgo]

i picked it up when it was on sale on pc from the SE store

i guess i could have bought it for the ps too there?

lol

[regal hamlet]

I couldn’t really say, I think it was on sale a couple months ago, but I’d expect it to return when Endwalker rolls around if you’re looking to wait for another one

[alpine ginkgo]

sometimes i do enjoy playing in bed

so was thinking of getting it on the ps as well

although i thought endwalker included expansions as wel

might just wait for that

[regal hamlet]

honestly it just might, I haven’t paid too much attention to EW besides that kickass trailer

Don’t wanna incidentally spoil myself is all

[alpine ginkgo]

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker ($39.99 USD) includes all prior expansions with the purchase, including Shadowbringers, Stormblood, and Heavensward. A Realm Reborn or the Starter Edition ($19.99 USD) must be purchased and registered separately before Endwalker can be registered

oh hmm

i guess theres no real point, since starter edition and complete edition are basically the same price when it's on sale haha

[boreal storm]

If you wanna get a head start on SB and ShB

[alpine ginkgo]

oh i already have it, i was just thinking of getting another license for ps

[ripe hound]

Probably never

[scarlet hinge]

why is that

[tribal atlas]

is there a place for sticking recruit a friend codes?

[scarlet hinge]

reddit

[ripe hound]

Most likely because there isn't a demand for it

As in, PVP is now just a level 30 activity

[tribal atlas]

like a specific page or just on the daily/weekly thread?

[ripe hound]

There isn't reason to make people grab a new end game PVE weapon from PVP

There might be a new set of wolf mark weapons for glamour

But unlikely to pop before EW

Maybe when the new PVP game mode release in EW they will release one

[scarlet hinge]

I was wondering cause we got armor but not the weapon

[near path]

Is there a reason we can't queue for multiple duty roulettes at a time?

[hazy totem]

What's faster for 2nd long grind during resistance weapons quest, actually doing zadnor zones or Alexander, Omega and Eden 30 times each respectively?

[obsidian patio]

Probably technical issues

Since a roulette is like queueing for all of the duties in it at once

[near path]

Makes sense. TY

[obsidian patio]

Do Zadnor for the tokens that come from the skirmishes, the raids themselves for the items that come from the CEs

[gray crescent]

Hello, in looting in savage. what does 1perjob means in PF

[obsidian patio]

In JP that means you only roll on one item

And leave once you get it

[obsidian patio]

This goes over the exact practice/rule more

[gray crescent]

omg

i roll all 2 cleared run

fq

[patent citrus]

oh, it's not "one player per job" category?

[hazy totem]

I thought both items come from raids at the same time ? That's the way wiki describes it

[patent citrus]

what do you mean by 1 per job?

[obsidian patio]

They do, but from different fights

[gray crescent]

it says in pf 1perjob, and joined. cleared it 2 times, and roll all and get 2 coffers

[patent citrus]

can you give me a screenshot?

[obsidian patio]

The tokens that come from the skirmishes are generally faster to get in Zadnor instead of the raid

[hazy totem]

I see :/ twice the time then, eh

[gray crescent]

they must think im an asshole

[hazy totem]

Yeh, so it would seem

[gray crescent]

it says loot, one player per job

[patent citrus]

yeah man

that just means every party can only 1 unique job

for the party bonus

you won't be able to get in as an AST if there's already an AST in the party

that's a party finder setting

[gray crescent]

so i did nothing wrong/

[patent citrus]

nope

[gray crescent]

just got lucky?

[patent citrus]

although I wanted to know what Yilmaz talking about the loot rules

[gray crescent]

@obsidian patiocan you care to elaborate, im still pretty new

[patent citrus]

afaik there's no loot rules, and I've joined JP only party to farm

[obsidian patio]

From the faq I linked

[gray crescent]

ohh god

[patent citrus]

you meant this right?

one player per job?

loot, duty complete

not specific loot rules like that

the yellow text

[near path]

Did cutscenes change in Stormblood? I used to be able to accept queues if they popped in one, but just now it kept telling me it couldn't execute actions when I was trying to accept, so I'm just forced to take the demerit.

[gray crescent]

yes

@patent citrusthats right

[patent citrus]

yeah it's just means no duplicate job is allowed, this to guarantee higher success chance cause of party bonus

[gray crescent]

so its fine?

[patent citrus]

yeah, but I didn't know what kind of party you joined tbh

but if you mean only the yellow text

that just means the party won't allow duplicate job

[gray crescent]

yes 1 player per job

[patent citrus]

and yeah you got lucky

[gray crescent]

wooh , safe

[rustic badge]

how long is StormBlood and SHadowBringers? compared to HeavensWard? trying to gauge how much more I have to go before EndWalkers

[rustic badge]

dont get me wrong, I am enjoying it. the story just keeps getting more epic.,

[shadow barn]

Like, remember, if you rush through the story, you won't enjoy the story for EW.

Think of each expansion as a new season of the FFXIV anime

[rustic badge]

I dont count quests,.but that image just gives me a vague 'distance', if that makes sense. Just looking at it sizing it up, satisfies my question, thanks

it's funny you mention anime, as I watch this, I just imagine it being such a cool live action movie.

frontline

[shadow barn]

No, but you only get the bonus once

You get 1000 as a bonus daily, them an extra reward depending on placing. I think 500 for 3rd, 750 for second, 1000 for first

1000 bonus you get once a day, but the end of match reward you can farm

does every job get another type of weapon after the zeta weapon? Like the kettles for monk

[umbral dune]

relic weapon is not retroactive, not been there when it first implemented, skip

[lyric wave]

no i can get some though

[worthy patrol]

not what i meant

maybe monk is the only one

[patent citrus]

yeah monk's kettle weapon is unique to zeta

afaik there's no kettle weapon for monk after that

[cursive ridge]

are there masochists who unlocked and collected EVERY relic weapon?

[vital nest]

is it possible to change my characters appearance to look exactly like an NPC? I found something on Garlandtools about what they use but I couldn’t find a lot of it in customization

[solemn jewel]

so for example

u search for an npc

and under appearance u get all of the sliders

however keep in mind some NPCs have custom models

high chance u ended up with an NPC with a custom face for example

[vital nest]

oo that makes a lotta sense cause I seen one needed face #16 or something but I only had like 6 faces

[boreal storm]

And some unique NPC outfits are on the cash shop, so that’s a thing

[solemn jewel]

who did u try and make?

[vital nest]

I tried to make Noctis but looking at it now it’s probably all custom

[patent citrus]

I don't see anything unique on him tbh

https://garlandtools.org/db/#npc/1026198

since you can get the hair, equipment

although you probably won't be able to copy his fighting animation

[vital nest]

Yea I got to the face and couldn’t get it I think I gotta try work around it

And try another face or somethin

[patent citrus]

ahh you tried it and didn't work, rip

Hey guys ! I'm wondering since there is the "complete edition +1month" at 16€ (in France); is it really a good deal since I'm not even beginning heavensward ? (I hit lvl 50 a few days back and waited) It's not like I don't want to pay to play the game but maybe it will be better to wait to buy the new extension ? What do you think ?

[boreal storm]

You can just not register the code immediately

[viscid flame]

Where can I buy a code then ? I just see the Moggle station !

@boreal storm and thanks for answering !

[boreal storm]

You get a code from buying the game

[viscid flame]

Oh on the Moggle station too then ?

sorry for idiot question x_x

[boreal storm]

You can’t buy the game from mogstation, I don’t think

SE store, PS store, or steam depending on what you’re using

[viscid flame]

https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/mogstation

[alpine shadow]

you would have to buy the starter edition

but yeah, complete edition comes with it too.

but imo it's best to now wait for the expansion to come out

[alpine shadow]

so you don't have to buy the expac again afterwards

[viscid flame]

Mog station, sorry for french site

do 'crossworld' parties get autoconverted to regular ones once everybody is on the same server?

[sacred geode]

i get Porom on launch right?

[chrome basin]

How bad do the servers lag when a new expansion launches?

if it lags at all

[little swift]

No

[ripe hound]

If you are only into high end PVE raiding, doing the relic as a new expansion launches usually isn't mandatory right?

[little swift]

Porom is from collectors edition

[ripe hound]

Like I don't need to do the EW relic just for raiding?

[little swift]

Relic is never mandatory

Since it becomes bis after tier relevancy fades

[glacial isle]

this threshhold right?

[little swift]

Not that bad, if it was anything like shb release was, though map instances might get really full

[cursive ridge]

the one in the faq is for 'bonus' items i believe

[little swift]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.

Is for max yield of items in ventures

[glacial isle]

is that with Aesthete's gear or?

[little swift]

I428 is doable with less than aesthetr

Aesthetr is 490

aesthete's is overkill

Just get more white scrip, it's not s finite resource

But if facet is cheap you could probably use that

[glacial isle]

gatherer's white scrip is annoying however to get

[little swift]

If you really wanted to spend gil that is

[glacial isle]

because of the timers

[royal grove]

anyone for pvp? or know how to farm the pvp points?

[little swift]

Custom deliveries

You're in a dead time in feast

If you aren't already ranked finding matches is hard

If you want wolf marks, do daily Frontline roulette

And queue for rival wings when revival wings does their weekend synced queues

[royal grove]

i want to farm the points for the armor

[little swift]

If you're after collars

You're going to struggle

Since as mentioned you started way after season has run its course

[royal grove]

sadge

[obsidian patio]

There's also basically no rank decay

so most people just do their matches at the start and not do anymore for the rest of the season

[royal grove]

out of curiosity, what people do in this game? pvp is ded, trials take like 50 to 60 minutes to find a party, cities are empty outside the main ones but i still has to queue every time i login, what's everyone farming/doing?

[little swift]

Trials only take that long because you're not meant to queue for extreme+ content through duty finder

People use party finder for that

[royal grove]

sorry if im not understanding things here (im really new to this community) but, isnt the pf to pay people to do the trials for you?

[shut panther]

no, the ads at the top might make you think that though xd

blacklist those

pf is for finding groups to do difficult content

(for the most part)

[royal grove]

i used it a few times, and instantly got people, but they wanted me to pay em for clear the trials

[alpine shadow]

make sure the datacenter you picked have the correct timezone

and yeah, those "roulette" parties are meant for illegal clear trades

those shouldn't be used

[royal grove]

ok, so a what time theres more people in gilgamesh?

[last dock]

Is there some sort of prerequisite for unlocking Palace of the Dead?

I'm at the NPC that's supposed to give you the quest for it but there's no quest available

[pulsar escarp]

Probably evening for where the server’s based. You might be able to get people to make a party specifically for what you want for you by saying so in a busy area if you’re on free trial, iirc, someone check me on that (forgot if free trial can make pf or not)

[alpine shadow]

reaching lvl17 apparently

and completing msq "Into a Copper Hell"

[last dock]

Ah okay

lvl 23 but haven't done that quest yet

[royal grove]

im not on trial, i buyed up to the shadowbringers expansion

[solemn jewel]

also a bit of a sily question, what raids are u qing for?

[pulsar escarp]

Then make your own PF for the thing you want to queue

[quartz comet]

Why they want to get paid for helping in pf?

Rmt?

[royal grove]

well, my objective its to farm mounts, so for now i want to do the garuda and titan ones, but its kinda hard to find people

[royal grove]

no, they wanted gil

[quartz comet]

Just say no

Most people do it for free

Arr ex can be one shotted with lvl 80 unsync

[solemn jewel]

Oh if ur lvl 70+ u can do those solo

[quartz comet]

Ez mount farm there

[royal grove]

even if i said yes i dont have 1 million gil lol

[quartz comet]

Garuda ex literally dies within 12 second

[last mural]

If you're level 70+, u can try doing ARR Ex unsync'd. Start with Garuda as she's the easiest so far to get an idea of how comfortable u are

[solemn jewel]

70+ with full scaevan is comfy enough

[last mural]

If you're a PLD, u probably won't even break a sweat

[solemn jewel]

Levi is a bit of a pain tho

i did em all with a wittle whm

[quartz comet]

Well mostly thats what people do

They farm mount

[royal grove]

im a dragoon, tho not sure how good the class is

[quartz comet]

And they do savage raid

When they clear savage tier

They unsub for 5 month

Unless you want to do other difficult stuff like fishing log

[royal grove]

not a fan of gathering & stuff, also no idea how tho even level those classes

what concerns me its that story missions now give me really little exp

i just finished the ARR main story

[solemn jewel]

thats normal

cus ARR stops at lvl 50 and Heavensward starts at lvl 50

ur not supposed to level up between the expansions, u get normal exp rates back when the expansion starts proper

[royal grove]

oh so i just keep doing the main quests?

[solemn jewel]

yea

[quartz comet]

It called post arr for a reason

[royal grove]

im at when you help the purple dragon girl with her refugees

[quartz comet]

Post x expansion give little exp

[last mural]

It's the same with every expansion

[solemn jewel]

just continue until u reach Heavensward

[quartz comet]

Because people are lvl cap on that expansion

[royal grove]

oh, im stupid then, i was doing a bunch of sidequest just to get more exp

[solemn jewel]

oh nonon

[last mural]

If you're worried about leveling DoH/DoL classes, there's always supply and provisions. Just hand in a HQ item for quite a decent bunch of XP.
Personally once I hit lv 50 for all of them, i stopped bothering to craft for xp and just did my supplies with stars icon daily.
Supplies with star icon gives a ton of XP, and with an HQ item, u basically level up that class by 2 levels at HW, 1.5 at SB

[royal grove]

i think i would need to level at least one of those classes to be able to enchant my armor and weapons, right?

[last mural]

Crafting Beast Tribe quests also gives a decent amount of xp daily, and in ARR, that beast tribe is the Ixali

[quartz comet]

well you dont have to

but it nice to be able to repair anywhere

[last mural]

U don't really need to, it's something that can be ignored for almost all of the game

[solemn jewel]

plus theres melders everywhere

[last mural]

Personally i'm enjoying the crafting system, so i do it for myself

[solemn jewel]

unless ur going for a pentameld (?)

[royal grove]

melder is the class to enchant items?

[solemn jewel]

no

Melders are vendors that put ur materia in ur gear

[quartz comet]

there no enchant

just put some ball in gear

[solemn jewel]

but thats not important until current tier

[quartz comet]

it wont matter until max lvl

so ignore it for now

[royal grove]

really? oh cool, i was worried to not be able to do decent damage, specially when in party

[quartz comet]

how to do decent damage

do your rotation

update gear to latest lvl

do job quest

10/10

[royal grove]

rotation here means to follow the combo sequence, right?

[quartz comet]

yes

[solemn jewel]

using ur abilities in the most optimal sequence

including weaves n stuff

[last mural]

For practically the entire game until super end-game stuff, as long as u're doing your job properly (i.e. do your rotation decently enough, don't die, do boss mechanics properly), you never really have to worry about doing "decent damage"

[quartz comet]

it should look like this

[last mural]

As you're a Dragoon, don't die is an especially important step

[solemn jewel]

floor tank brrr

[royal grove]

so people wont kick you out of parties if you don't do max damage here?

[quartz comet]

no

[solemn jewel]

why would they

[quartz comet]

dps meter is banned

if you speak about it

[last mural]

In my entire time playing, nobody has kicked out anyone thus far

[solemn jewel]

unless ur griefing ur gucci

[last mural]

except for AFKers

[quartz comet]

how to get banned fast

1. talk about dps meter

[royal grove]

wait, we dont have a damage log?

[quartz comet]

we dont

[solemn jewel]

nope

[last mural]

Nope

[quartz comet]

its 3rd pt

[warm snow]

We have logs

[quartz comet]

it only have one rule

[warm snow]

We don't have in game meters

[twilit arch]

we do have combat logs

[quartz comet]

dont talk about it

[royal grove]

woah, they really dont like dps toxicity in their game haha

[twilit arch]

damage meters =/= logs.

[warm snow]

Why?

Because people suck

Give them an inch they'll take a mile and we all know it

[quartz comet]

even without meter you will know some people just auto attack afk in alliance roullete

which piss some sane people off

[last mural]

Generally... it's... "fine" to use mods and tools and what not... as long as u keep it to yourself
SEnix has made their stance clear that they don't allow them, but will not proceed to witch hunt as long as u do it for yourself and nothing else

[quartz comet]

but you cant call them out

[twilit arch]

I mean, you can technically

its how you word it is key

mentioning numbers is obviously a no no

[warm snow]

Squenix isn't in a preventative arms race with modders

[twilit arch]

but seeing someone use no skills, you can say "hey i noticed you're just standing there and not casting any spells, can you please use your skills?"

[warm snow]

But again it's all technically against tos and don't give them a chance

[last mural]

Which is quite surprising for a JP company

[royal grove]

yeah i know the drill with those types of tools, but im not actually interested, unless i reach a point of difficulty that requires me to know my damage

but if im not wrong, here is more important to learn the bosses mechanichs, right?

[quartz comet]

1. boss mech

2.your rotation

3. ABC

always be casting

[last mural]

Might want to squeeze don't die infront of 'your rotation'

it's better to ruin your rotation if it means not taking dmg/dying

[royal grove]

btw, if im not wrong, bosses have different attack patterns depending on their difficulty

[quartz comet]

msq dungeon and boss is just simple

you learn it like any new player do

trial and error

and mostly dying

[last mural]

Yep, i doubt you'll ever be the first, nor the last Dragoon to kill themselves in Titan

[solemn jewel]

Yeet off that map

I know how to fight ozma yet i still sometimes walk off
