Thank you all for the quick reply.
I was mostly just trying to avoid needing the second trip.
What stats should BLM lvl 60 focus on especially in terms of Relic and materia? I used to go full Spell Speed + Crit but kept reading other builds utilizing determination and direct hit?
BLM 60
Just use tomestone gear
Relic at 60 is kinda... Eh
You can buy boosts in case you do not want to grind 1-70 for the new expansion.
Time savers are pretty common
Im using Augmented shire gear and full cirt/spell speed lux Kaladanda
How can I get the fashion report requirements?
Thanks!
So can I get duplicate Atmas if I only have one class at the appropriate progression state?
Basically can I just farm out 10 of each Atma before unlocking Zodiac weapons for every class
Ah, good to know, thanks
Just making sure the number you can farm isn't limited by quest completion
does anyone know how to unlock the diadem recipes for my crafting job(culinarian)?
someone said to get to lvl 20 but that didnt work
So can you earn white scrips before hitting 80 in a job?
No
best to save collectibles until 80 then?
What does it mean ? could i use that on one armor after it will breaks ?
that means that I can for example apply it on all that if I want ?
hey guy for eureka, do I have to do the wep in order to get to new zone or I am just need to lv up more ? I am currently lv 10 on Anemos. My goal is just the elemental armor for glams.
Upgrading the weapon is not needed for the story itself
BUT
for the elemental armor, you need to have upgraded to the last step of the Pagos area
To unlock the ability to earn the elemental gear
???
is housing still impossible to get?
how often does the noctis FATE spawn?
or are there now free houses that i can just hop on and get
it's better if you also upgrade your weapon
Like every 20 minutes or so
you need pyros weapon minimum to get the elemental armor
Basically impossible without camping plots
damn
wait so... ? hold on what lv i can get the quest from Rodney telling me to go new zone ? so in the end i still need to do wep but only to end of pagos ?
on the lodestone phantasmagorias dont have a link to vendors, are they still used?
or are they now no longer given out by stuff
Phasmagoria is gone
damn
And the items are in the nut shop
new tomestones of some kind
Any phasmagoria you have can be turned into poetics
or just allegory and poetics
In mor Dhona as usual
oh nice
i am sorry i am now even more confuse, so i need to work my wep from Anemos to pyros in order to get the function to buy armor ? b.c one person say pagos
Housing is changing in endwalker btw, it's going to a lottery based system and they are doing away with plot camping. That plus the opening of Ishgard housing in 6.1 means housing may be way more accessible than it is currently
No further
ah nice
oh wait, so It doesn't need to do weapon in pyros? o_o
ok ty ty, sorry for the misinfo
last time i played they expanded housing and all i remember is a friend or 2 camping it out to get houses
then we all stopped playing

but i never got one
Well you might in Endwalker!
ye im hyped
yeah if you are in a busy server, it's going to be a competition
it's even worse than before since there's a player influx recently
!faq scholar dps
whats the command for scholar dps?
damn
probably returning players or new players before new expansion
A lot of new players are probably still priced out of the housing market tbh, the entry price for a small is still 2.5-3 million gil
Returning players are another story
scholar DPS is just broil broil broil bio broil
ye thats true
did you mean summoner
i mean
no, scholar lol
what do you mean by scholar dps?
why she don't give me Aesthetician quest ?
my average DPS is around 8k while i'm checking logs and other shcolars are pumping 16k
got all the 460, or maybe the 490 gear, dont remember
so i'm doing something horribly wrong and need to fix it
i think 490 but never melded
so money should be easy enough to make
but housing is just gonna be hard no matter what it sounds like
Bis gear, keeping the gcd rolling, energy drains as much as possible
Letting the other healer do all the work
okay okay so let me sum up, as for correct myself if i get everything down correct. So to get elemental armors for glams. I need to grind to do the eureka wep, plus lv up Anemos to some level so i can trigger quest for new zone (from Rodney). New zone pagos same deal, lv up + do weps, then move to Pryos just to buy the armor ? is that correct ?
im not BIS but im only using aethers as energy drain

You can throw any logs you have into xivanaylsis
Unless you're in 530 gear with a 535 weapon parses are meaningless, and in raids you won't be doing DPS 24/7 unless you specifically have a comp for that
time to take my world of warcraft log meta humping mind and check breakdowns 
To analysis your stuff
I havent logged anything yet my FC hasnt started raiding
then what tf are you worried about
i have nothing here
Put them in there
huh, so what are you parsing?
Have you done the required MSQ?
im talking like dungeon dps etc
o_o
im jnust trying to improve my dps not parse
That is your parse
i'm lvl 41 and yes
yeah don't think anyone cares about your dps unless you are doing savage
Silly question but....did you do the quest already?
oh idc if people care about my DPS
i'm just trying to improve lol
its all i want to do as a new player D:
me?
yeah,
no im max
ooo
People doing 16k are doing it in perfect and optimal set ups
Parsing isn’t a big deal unless you’re doing endgame
my game is in french u will not understand but I didn't do it. I made the call of the ocean
They’re the same
Parsing = dps
are you casting broil and not dropping your DoT
yuh
congrats you're doing better than most healers
Parse is just a log of your numbers
but idk an appropriate time to use the crit % etc
On Cooldown
You use it every 2 minutes
chain strategem?
if you want to do more damage, get your 535 relic weapon
yea
After the 3rd gcd you use it on Cooldown
but do I pair it with energy drains?
Ideally yes
i have no lvl 15 quest
❗Friendly Reminder❗
During a portion of the maintenance set to start in 90 minutes, the #FFXIV Launcher and Lodestone news/topics will be unavailable. Any news posted during that time will be shared on the official forum or @FFXIV_NEWS_EN account! https://t.co/f124XVs6cF
we're using ENG for all quest references so I'm afraid you'll need to use the English client for us to be able to effectively answer questions

I did all the quests leading up to the "brother from another mother" quest but how do I get the quest?
yo why is alliance always giving me sycrus tower
I just started this last night and I have a PlayStation question
so why doesn't it give other alliance raids then
given I'm like 70+ and have done all of them
what's your MSQ at?
idk what that is
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
take a screenshot of it
afaik you need to reach a certain point in MSQ before being able to upgrade to monk
that's lv 18 MSQ, you need to progress further
Wait... when did they add new /cpose????
so 2 more then I can be monk?
when there's a quest called Sylph-management
K
when does the maintenance starts, in hours from now
1
!maint
maint doesn't work in here
ok
50 minutes left
to answer you're question it's in 49 mins
yeah #kupo-bot-spam !maint
No, I doubt it
for 8 hours ? 
what number is sylph mangement
lv 20 MSQ
I am curious, is there any need to tank swap in UWU for TItan?
ah it was 5.4, never noticed these until now
How do I change the pet actions back to the inventory (red) actions as the default r1 switcher?
this? not sure if this is what you are asking
practically never
hey to any crafters out there - I am trying to learn how to pentameld, but it won't let me go beyond attaching 1 extra materia when I hear you can attach up to 5 slots?I understand it is low chance to get materias attached, but it won't let me try in the first place. I've done the quest chain to unlocked Advanced Melding in Thanalan, and the job I'm using is 80 when the required repair level says 70 for that job. am I missing another questline?
grade 6/8 materia can only be overmelded once
I was on the 18th and I did 2 more and now its Dressed to Deceive not sylph management
you need to use grade 5 or 7 for the rest of the slots
yeah doesn't work like that
fastest way to level retainers?
just keep doing it until you reached sylph management
18-20 doesn't mean it only takes 2 MSQ
I think this is what I was missing. Wrong type of materia, or wrong rank rather. thank you.
that makes no sense but ok
spam quick ventures
When is the new xpack coming out?
thanks
!expansion
nov 19 early access, nov 23 is the actual release
Still have time. Thanks guy! 🙂
You are 10 quests away
what time is Maint,.EST?
#kupo-bot-spam look in it
25 minutes from now.
tyvm
booo,..what am I supposed to do,.get real work done now ? ;p
Can anyone help me pentameld my resistance weapon or do I ahve to do it my self?
Maint last for 7-8h so back to real life
You can’t meld Relics
some steps you can
NPC melders can do all visible materia slots
it's not worth doing at this point in time though
They’re marked on the map with a blue materia icon that’s egg-shaped
what the maintaince for
server stability
base-sb
ok
||how long is the cutscene after ala mhigo||
very long
yo, I farmed 101 Totems, checked the totem shop and didnt see the mount so I discarded them all
but can you buy the mount somewhere?
im back at 30 totems i might try to buy it if i can actually find a place that sells it
Are you sure you checked the right tab?
i checked every tab

which totems and which vendor did you go to?
hive totem and they sent me to iddleshire
Because HW is the lady on right
Bertana
Yeah her
It's ar the bottom of Ravanas exchange
Did you scroll down
Iirc
What do I do with "Faded Copy of the Dark's Embrace"? And what do I do with the "Abomination" in my Orchestrion Log?
It's the last listed item
Faded copies are fixed by alchemist
the faded copy can be made into a proper orchestrion if you ask an Alchemist
You get weapons with totems
is that a mission
Check that one specifically again
i am level 23 archemist, can i fix it?
i will ask again when the maintaince is over
Are the servers down now?
Only one way to find out: check your crafting menu
Yes
how long will this be. 3 hrs?
8
what do you do with orchestrion rolls?
you use them
Normally, you play them in orchestrion devices in inns and houses
you can then play the rolls on the orchestreon roll in your inn room or from the furniture item in housing
8hrs 😪
how do i get to my inn again?
for the ARR relic, how often do leves change?
How long will the servers be down?
Is unlocking hard more ARR dungeons worth the time
8 hours
They give bonus poetics for first clear
Also be me, turns on ff14 after a long day, maintenance
Which helps buy ironworks
will Aether be unlocked after maintenance?
Does maintenance happen often?
Server statuses typically only change with patch updates
Or they massively upgrade it
How hard are the extreme ARR trials. I was told to be Lvl 80 before trying them, but I would like to clear the Bahamut questline
Ik a party is needed
I mean aren’t all bosses?
Extremes and up well actively attempt to kill you
Depends on how you want to actually clear it.
So no AOE warnings
Nope
Ok step 1, don’t play melee
Was gonna opt for Scholar since my healing is important regardless of lvl
I think people might've said to get to 80 so that you can unsync cheese them, but if you actually want to do it "the correct way" then you don't need to be level 80
Ranged are the mechanic bitches we send to bait mechanics
So it is feasible at L50
Will I need the relic weapon to stand a chance or will Poetics suffice
Only if you get liked minded people to do it synced
Ironworks is the best available gear at 50
I’m probably gonna get some unsync help
Better than Relic?
Then 1 80 murders it in 3s
Ironworks is significantly easier to get
Relics take too long to be worth it
Basically it's up to you how you want to clear it; if you want just the story (like for bahamut coils) then get some lv80 to help you unsync through it for the story. If you want a challenge, then you get some like-minded people together using Party Finder and then attempt the fight; usually you'll be wiping for a while before you can clear it. If you really want a challenge, then you get those like-minded people together and join in with the "minimum item level" and "no echo" options checked to approximate what people went through back in the day.
how much time till take to finish maint
8-9hrs
thanks
do we have maintenance time bot?
Probably!
Fuckin' hero!
Guys, whats the best way to spam/check if the servers are up? Usually theyre up earlier than the stated time. I wanna get in first to buy a house.
How good is DRK with pve content?
good
Obv not this early but maybe in a few hours
!maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Thanks @shut panther !
question for people who use ACT, how can i make it only record instance runs instead of every time i an enemy? There are so many trash logs in mine. i only want the intanced ones
Quite sure you can set something like record only if in party or raid
On mobile atm so cant specify where it is
for fflogs uploader you can pick the instances you want to upload

Maintenance
You tried log in?
I can't even get to the login part
Yes I think may be cuz of MT
I wanted to check how long maitenance would take
Oh
This is the error
Is it beacuse of maitenance or did something go wrong with my file
is the best lvl 60 crafter gear this set with penta meld ?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Carbonweave_Crafting_Set#Offhand
Which chat?
It is scheduled to last until 3 am pdt (7 hours from now)
Whether it will take the entire time (or less, or more) is anyone's guess
Yeah just I'm concerned now because I've been able to open the launcher in previous maitenance's
They are doing lodestone maintenance as well
#kupo-bot-spam
So that is why you can't open the launcher, most likely
do other PC players have that same error message on launch?
Just checked and yes, same error
I had just an unexpected crash last night as well so just concerned
Any chance it'll end early?
Thanks for confirming
Not likely
a wave of stress just vanished
This is pretty important
Possibly? But wouldn't count on it. They are trying to get things ready for Endwalker
Where can I find the patch notes
There's no patch
This is infrastructure maintenance to help address the heavy server loads we've been seeing recently (and will see soon with Endwalker)
no update is being applied
What's the best class to level 2nd if I main Arcanist?
Whichever one you enjoy the most
With that said, arcanist gives you access to a DPS and a healer at the same time, so if you want to be able to do any role in a party, you might look at a tank
which classes are tanks?
hi guys, sorry if this is common knowledge but is there maintenance going on right now?
Marauder/Warrior, Gladiator/Paladin, Dark Knight, and Gunbreaker
Yes
ahhh, that explains, thanks. Been unable to get the launcher up. Any idea how long more before it ends?
Scheduled to last another 6½-7 hours
oh dayum. i guess i can finally catch up on genshin's story then. Thanks again21
again!*
are "Mamool Ja" similar to the amal'jaa ?
my main Arcanist is level 42 but I'm only at level 20 on MSQ.. Should I start leveling 2nd class to give it MSQ XP?
my main Arcanist is level 42 but I'm only at level 20 on MSQ.. Should I start leveling 2nd class to give it MSQ XP?
@ashen ginkgo u can go for BLM
what's BLM?
Bothe SMN and BLM share armor equips
thaumaturge
how long do you guys think this maint is going to last?
Lvl 50 equips I mean from tomes
black mage
nvm says it on the site
thaumaturge
@versed bison ahh yes this
also is it normal to be this far outleveled (xp boost from Crystal road to 70) or am i doing something wrong?
No I think
By the time I finished HW I am having 2 l60+ and one l50+ jobs
Idk if I am eligible for road to 70 exp
How to check it
!buff road to 70
0.0
how long is the current maintenance
Anyway it’s a buff with a star icon
6.30 hrs more
If you started on a preferred server you have it for 3 months minimum
Star icon on data center?
Is the game on maintenance right now?
is maintenance going on for ffxiv ?
I can’t seem to access it at all
Same here, restarted everything and it’s still giving me an error. When I checked their lodestone it says ongoing maintenance
Not sure what time it’ll be done tho
!xivlauncer
Look in #kupo-bot-spam people
yes
Thank you for the info @boreal storm !
Sorry a question
How to increase spirit bound fast?
use potions which gives spiritbound % then do content
Ah alright
For what the maintains? Something new?
Thank you

no it said on launcher for few days that its for server maint
There won't be anything new until endwalker
Besides a moogle event, but that doesn't require maintenance

is there any smooth way to farm aetherpool reach +99
open silver chests, go up to floor 100
might be Blue Spirit long bow
Very likely, it's a MSQ playthough video, so maybe this guy is also doing MSQ
Hey uh, are the servers down? I cant seem to start the launcher up
getting this weird error message
(I don't know if it is more appropriate to post here or in tech., I tried looking up the problem, but the solution didn thelp)
use match party right or have to solo to 1-100
dunno how many people match party past 60
Sorry i have question
Can i put grade IV battle dance instead grade III for the relic?
You have to put a certain number of each type I think?
You can use matched parties up to floor 100 it's just good luck because nobody queues for floors beyond 60 since everyone in matched parties uses potd for leveling usually
kinda true i'm wait for flor 80-90 for 3h and fail lolw
@limpid matrix has to be grade 3
How to fix the unable to complete version check lmfao
This is for a future step. @limpid matrix you need to slot 11 of grade 1 to 4 each
I think its bc the servers are down or something
@cyan scarab try again in 5h30mins. Maintenance now
Ohhh alright tysm
Yeah I was pretty confused too when I got home
maintenance for server also improve previous ddos
Oh alright
Thank you
Please teach me how to if youre available please. Thank you.
hey guys if i buy the game on steam can i upgrade it to the collector edition on the mog station later on?
Yes
so i dont rly lose anything buy using steam i guess? (i play on that platform almost everytime)
if you buy the game on steam you'll have to buy the expansions on steam going forward
i mean thats not rly a bad thing isnt it? or ami missing something.. ppl seem kinda preferring the non steam version but i cant udnerstand why
stuff tends to go on sale more on the square shop rather than on steam
tbh i'll buy everytihng right away so no discount.. and if i can still manage to upgrade the collector on mog station later on its super cool

What GCD do monk usually go for?
So, high 1.9?
Yep
When I go to boot my game, I see an error message Unable to complete version check. [30605][20448][10009][10019].
If someone has this happen to them, you'll get this message when the servers are down for maintenance. Just wait for the maintenance to be over. Figured I would note this sense nobody seem to answer the question.
1.96 if I’m looking at it right
Ahh, thanks
What was the maintenance for?
Server stability
Cool
and improve security on previous ddos*
I had a question, since a lot of crystal servers are congested, I wanted to ask if it possible to transfer an existing character from light to crystal ?
I mean paid data center transfers
For relic weapons. Can I do my relic weapon at 80 or do I need to do the relic weapon from 50 to do 60 to do 70 etc.
they're independent from each other
i've read that having a lvl 50 relic helps with the first step of level 60 relic but it's probably pretty minor
Are they pretty much just glamor for your weapon?
Thanks
which alexander raid was the one where you turn into monke to hit bomb
I keep looking at the seat of sacrifice of youtube and it always amaze me but im wondering
when do you get trials/dungeons
with voice acting
?
(beside the ultimate weapon)
To answer this Jay, iirc Aether’s the one not accepting characters because it’s congested, crystal’s just slightly busy. It should be fine
this cause of the maintenance?
even with paid world transfer ?
what else is there
The only thing free is going from congested to preferred
And worlds are very rarely actually congested
Ok
I'm just wanting to move to Crystal once I'm confirmed that I'm moving to Canada
oh got the same issue too
its maintenance its not an issue
its just confusing
should end at 3 AM if yall are staying up
eh I mean yeah
french moment
mmmm
yeah, usually when MT i still can open the launcher
i also happen to forget today is the patch day 
they are taking a lot of servers down for server maintenence regarding congestion and hardware upgrades so, meanwhile, a lot of things will be unavailable, such as the website
so I remember hearing something about
world travel changing in
EW
what is it about?
do you mean data center travel?
nah im sure I heard something else
oh wait
maybe that yes
?
people mentionning how the data center u pick won't matter that much in EW
in EW we will be able to travel to other datacenters, but AFAIK you are still doing raid content with your data center
data center travel has been delayed though and wont be available first thing in the expac
wait
arent dungeons/trials/raids
cross data center
?
they haven't mentioned one way or another
Tbh if you can't do content cross DC it'd be kind of pointless
Nothing but shiny servers
They unlocked Aether?

what's the maintenance even for
all they said was 'infrastructure maintenance'
"We will be conducting maintenance on the infrastructure as well as implementing measures to address heavy server stress loads based on the result from the public server stress test we have held the other day, and from the access results to the North American and European data centers. "
it must be a lot of stuff they're working on considering how badly the launcher is broken
from the announcement 3 days ago
they took down all the servers as part of it, not just the world ones
"*Because the infrastructure maintenance will include maintenance of the backbone network equipment, launcher access will be unavailable, as well as the viewing of News and Topics on the launcher/The Lodestone during the first half of maintenance. Please see the official forums or the official Twitter channel (@FFXIV_NEWS_EN) for any news that may be published during that time period."
Another UWU question: if an Off-tank isn't gaoled during Titan, what does he do? Does he help free the gaoled players or does he focus on Titan?
How do I unlock Zadnor? Currently I'm rank 9 in Bozja and have completed the bitter memories part of the relic.
Beat Castrum Lacus Litore and Delubrum Reginae
you need rank 10 to access castrum lacus litore
Which requires rank 10 in Bozja
Oh ok
Thanks
Hi guys, how much longer til the maintenance ends?
4 hours
3 and a half hours
If someone wanted to find a big group of people to talk to and play with on their datacenter but did not want to leave their FC, What is the best option? Fellowship?, Linkshell? How does one go about finding one? Also how does one look for a potential static when they are ready to take that step? I looked in recruitment for Crystal but it seems to be all FC recruitment. Thanks for any info.

yooo just curious
when that new expansion drops
will there be any way to move to a less populated server or anything lol
even my ps5 has trouble with those patch dayss
All servers will be burning 
well you're frankly out of luck
servers are already crammed full and endwalker is hotly anticipated
ughhh thats a vibe killer lol
Ffxiv is bursting at the seams already and EW will draw in ppl who have not been subbed for a while
surprised squeenix hasn't addressed that issue
they did
There's a static recruitment discord I think, but it might be a bit daunting if you're new to it. I found my current group just joining party finder and getting invited to their discord for voice comms and built up my friends from there.
multiple times
well no
you received a bad answer - nobody hits gaols on the first round, they’re destroyed automatically
They stated that they cant do much rn due to chip shortage
if the game is gonna be flooded wit people around every quest marker in the campaign
the second round exclusively targets healers
When is game gonna be back up
3 hours
this is just a fact of life
tehre is genuinely nothng they can do about it that wouldn't just be extra work for them
Square has had multiple statements about the current server issues and they're trying as much as they could but they cant go and buy servers if theres a worldwide issue with production
MMO launches will just be like that
i imagine they would love to reduce server load but there is an actual economic and logistical issue that makes it way harder than it needs to be
plus u know, Covid
square enix should just snap their fingers and solve the global shortage smh my head
just make some chips
yes, it would be extra work
that is why i pay a subscription
since you have all the answers? do tell!
THERES A GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF CHIPS
they cant work on the servers if they're missing components
if it were me i'd probably give players the option to disable certain types of in game models under certain settings, the feature has already been worked in for gpose
Supply isn't keeping up with demand. It's economics 101
HOLD X AND YOU CAN IGNORE PLAYERS TO CLICK ON NPCS.
Not much you can do about it
i have no idea what y'all chip shortage shit has to do with basic QOL issues lol
i'm sorry that you hate seeing other people in an mmo?
They cant increase servers and all servers are always full
you are misunderstanding what i am saying
square enix quite literally
- can't make more servers or expand server space instantly
- the global shortage of semiconductors is literally preventing them to, which they said they were trying to
- it's an MMO. it is a fact of life, no matter how good the MMO is, that new zeons will be flooded by people on day 1
bonus fact
4. if it becomes an issue where you cannot target NPCs then hold X. It will be another fact of life that there will be people everywhere but this is something you should expect and not an issue that can be solved as easily as one would suggest, especially since SE wants to avoid 'sharding' like how WoW does it
i'm not talkin about server congestion and load times
Yes you can do content on other data centers but it's not different from how it is now. For example if you queue for roulettes on NA you're not going to get paired up in JP. but if you went to JP yes you can do the roulettes over there. That's what I'm trying to say.
its annoying sometimes but 1 minute to load in is not a big deal
ppl already gave u options regarding ur issue, press X
what is your QOL issue
mmos are designed to waste time whaddya gonna do about it
just that you cannot access NPCs?
essentially that yes
not sure why this discussion needs to be extended
is there a channel for glamour questions
disabling player names and holding x certainly helps but it doesn't negate the issue
#glamour-discussion but you may also ask here if it's a 'how' idea
well it’s a ‘will this piece of clothe look the same for both genders’ question lol
it just seems like such a silly no brainer thing to address in regards to these big main scenario quest releases, especially since its already a feature in the game with the gpose shit
i think theres websites where u can check that
i'm honestly not sure how exactly your life quality is being hurt here
garland tools or whatever its called lol
because reaper has a hood on in the first reveal trailer but it’s a girl, and the male roe had no hood in the job trailer. so are they the only ones with hoods?
with all due respect we've explained multiple times that your core issue is solvable with holding X, and if that isn't the full issue, then multiple people in an area is just a limitation that cannot be bypassed because of server and instance structure
either you suck it up and deal with it day 1, or wait until after day 1 so you don't have to deal with a horde of new people
oh crap never mind those are hats lol
yeah they're both hats
i'm aware that random asses on the ff14 discord aren't able to solve the issue, i'm just surprised that there's really no workaround for it. its such an odd problem with what this game is popular for
they will look the same
right i’m wilding rn lol
though
don't count yourself out
the hood is a thing
it's because when you go into burst phase you get a pre-set costume that looks like the summon
no seriously what is the 'issue' that you want a workaround for i don't get it. is it really just "too many other players in my mmo"
true but that’s the burst mode, i have to find a hood for regular glam
like a grim reaper feel
yeah not many hoods that are solo sadly
is that the class starter gear?
it will be the artifact gear afaik
so level 90
starter gear will be liable to be a reskinned set of some sorts like GNB and DNC
hmmhmm i see
or at least not as cool
i’m not going to lie though the 90 gear looks good just not a fan of hats
that reaper hood looks really good tho
you're gonna glam it to a bikini set anyway
i wish it was just the face mask
true and real
gonna be makas everywhere too
im gonna glam it into my bikini chocobo
You can use cryptlurker maiming
oh yeah cryptlurker maiming is the exact thing you want for it
👍
might as well get that done asap, but i don’t want to have all black on. maybe all red or something weird but i saw a reddit post about how reapers should wear bright stuff so the void transformation is even more impactful
i liked it
Sounds like something #glamour-discussion would be better for at this point
is the road to 70 buff permanent until reaching lvl 70 or it will be removed when world stops being preferred?
lasts a minimum of 90 days
also doesn't go away when you reach 70, just stops affecting that particular job
so you can go and level other jobs with it too
aha 90 days, thats what i was looking for thanks!
Can someone confirm if Breach Coins can be farmed without restriction after last patch?
I've only ever tried clearing it once a week
a single weave PLD will perform better than a single weave GNB right? interms of both rotation and weaving mits?
Yes they can
I don't think so
PLD is known to suffer from using haste gear in bozja content
Cool
Haste is just way better skill speed
So the same principles apply
i want to be at above 2.4 gcd
why above?
He's got shit ping, so he single weaves, iirc
But I haven't touched it in a while
yah
Can't fix that
And all jobs suffer from not double weaving when possible
Both will be having issues but I believe you'll be minimising damage lost as pld. It'll still suck.
single weave pld is very nice
Anyone else always doing daily ShB hunts for gear enhancing items and is it faster than doing ShB raids for coins?
but there's less call for double weaving on paladin in general, to my knowledge
A rank hunt trains are better for getting nuts
^
Yeah but I rarely find hunt trains if ever
so i was wondering single weave pld vs gnb
cos on gnb you've to deal with continuation
but pld has no such thing, easy rotation
Then join a hunt discord
even then A-rank hunt trains likely slower from a period-of-time standpoint
doing all 3 shb raids will be faster if you do them all back to back
Or a linkshell
also yeah koin a hunt discord
Only do normal and B rank ones
but if you just chill then hunt trains are the best bang for your buck
You're going to be less than optimal if you don't double weave on anything
Have a link to dm me?
that's just a given
what do u double weave on pld except the two ogcds it has
Even war?

iirc gnb has bow shock, the other dot, gap closer, continuation
Your big lv80 ogcd too
Defensive cooldowns
don't like war man
its rotation is boring to me
only inner release window is fun
So are you saying hunt trains can be faster or more effective for eventually enhancing I520 gear than running each of the 3 alliance raids?
it's not like things never align
i c so pld has a better time on single weaves
WAR's best for shit ping
Can confirm
even if you might miss a fell cleave
you can fix that probably by melding a stupid amount of sks
not into the aesthetics and rotation
well sorry man
yeah WAR has zero mandatory double weaves that are necessarily for optimal damage
how is it sub optimal tho
You could look into a vpn tunnel for your ping
if you want you can check and ask the balance but they'll tell you something similar
Not double weaving and clipping is sub optimal.
No matter how you look at it
'oh I can't stack sheltron and rampart in the same gcd'
You could also move to a world closer to your physical location
How much of a hit is single weaving dps wise anyway
i do use vpn but its god awful to hook up to your PS4
the constant manually routing to your router
not to mention other electronics suffer in terms of connectivity
well idk man
we've told you WAR is best for your problem and tbh you can get better results by hooking up a vpn
I keep hearing how horrible it is to single weave but no one ever speaks numbers
check the balance, I'm sure they have something on it
Will do
with raid buffs it's like a few %
which may not seem like much but doing 95% or osmething of damage instead of 100% is not great
Like any inefficiency it'll add up, but for pld it'll often mean not getting your dots up during fight or flight. There's a fuck ton of factors. Not easy to give you an exact number. Especially for tanks
someone told me like 5-10% dps loss but I'm not sure if that's accurate
it's still the classic Job Effectiveness Varies Depending On Player Skill but you can't outplay bad ping if you want to optimise
that's two double weaves in the opener and it'll change over the course of the fight
Still not accounting for defensives
that too
only mandatory double weave for pally is the first circle of scorn tbf
but that's just damage
you will perhaps clip defensives
sheltron I often stack with others
^
and given its short duration
hi chat, i would like to ask, if i bought the full collection and pre ordered the new expansion does the included days stack?
you're gonna have a bad time
or you need to do a damage weave as the boss does an attack
hello i asked a few weeks back about when ffxiv goes on sale and somehow its on sale now on the na store. i play with a sg account in one of the jp datacenters. can i still buy the game from that store and it will work with my account?
You only get game time for the base game. Not for expansions
oh ok thank you so much
you need to double check what your mogstation account region is
i mean after moving from drk to pld I'm having a better time just in terms of gameplay
less pressure less missing mit timings
probably not optimum gameplay but it's less stressful ig
also barely any management so that's nice
the double weave requirement in the opener is a hoot
yeah PLD's better but not the most optiaml tank under lag
if your main issue is aesthetics with war then I guess that sucks
yeah
gotta look good but play shittier 
it be like that man
you can just hook up your vpn and be less lazy, we've been over this
yup
or you can just stop optimising because single weave should be fine for what you want to do
And ask them to officially implement a certain plugin that lets you double weave at high ping in the next q&a 
thus, "officially implement"
ik it's a solution but it's not a permanent solution
cos like if i have classes and my vpn is connected
I've to deal with buffers and stuffs so I've to disconnect amd change WAN settings and after classes are over, gonna change back to previous WAN and connect to vpn ip, it's just pain
Yeah but if they make it official
hmm ok it says that my acc is registered in the americas (strangely enough). that should be fine for the na store version?
yes
Question about the Dragoon rotation? Should I be using all my CDs at once? Or spread them apart like a tank?
thanks so much
i already gave up on parse so that's a relief 
i mean i don't think it's a hot take to say it would be nice if they made the game function better at higher ping
You space them out between gcds through your opener. Dragon sight and lance charge are normally quick succession double weaved, and then litany, and then you make sure that you're single weaving your jumps. For more details you can probably check a balance graphic, or if you're levelling weskalber should work. After that it's mostly use on cooldown
i mean I'm moving to canada after a couple of years so I'll change my dc
which dc is best for canada?
any NA one, i imagine
There's more details obviously but I don't know how much you want to know
I'll get gud ping?
they're all in the same physical location
So like, by between GCDs do you mean weaponskills? Or like, should I use one before my DOT, let it run out, and then use the next one before my next DOT?
That's what I've been doing
^
This is the DRG opener
Anywhere from 40 to 200 depending on where you are and what your internet solution is like
Oh shoot that's a lot of buttons
What level are you
80
drg is one of the most static rotations
I'm pretty bad at like, quickly clicking on a party member and giving them that eye buff
make use of a mouseover macro for eye or use a party list one
I play with a controller
Do I make a new macro every time or can I just make one that gives it to the nearest Melee DPS?
it's hard to specify melee but you can change up the list priority
Change your character settings so that melees are always second on your party list
so that it's always where a melee should be
You can change list priority down to specific jobs
Then just macro /ac "dragon sight" <2>
!faq dsmacro
Having trouble with Dragon sight? Try out these macros!
Mouse over macro:
/merror off
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <mo>
/micon "Dragon Sight"
Party list macro (Edit to the slot you want to target!):
/merror off
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/ac "Dragon Sight" <2>
/micon "Dragon Sight"
then you can just macro to a lower slot
That's where you're wrong kiddo
You can partylist sort specific to each role
Party list priority setups are separate for every role
Ohh!
So just change your dps priorities
I didnt know that!
Problem solved
if you go into role sort settings, you can customize it even more
so that within like dps sorting, its always specifically like mnk first then drg etc
I want to see if I can do it manually without a macro
why?
Does it matter to my FC if I change worlds?
you have to doubleweave it most the time, it's more convenient
macros are not cheating
They feel like it tho
ground targets are jank at best and dragonsight having you unselect the boss is finicky
holmgang is silly without macro
fcs are server specific so if you transfer you have to leave your fc first
well. you can unselect an enemy but it's still inconvenient
they're also readily available to you.
Welp, im staying in cerb
I mean I just lock on to a party member, use both buffs, press circle and the press X
Theyre right next to each other my my DPAD
sounds inconvenient to me
So I think I could do it.
but sure do what you want
after the opener it's mostly pressing your ogcds on cooldown and alternating between chaos thrust combo and full thrust.
Not going to go into detail on delaying life
Does anybody know when this sale ends?
Should my CDs line up with Stardiver?
they should if you delay life
when you go red
Red mode
two eyes
oct 6th
So delay, wait for CD to recharge, and then turn red.
What’s the macro for?
in trash, if you cast holmgang on a mob, holmgang ends when the mob dies
so the solution is to cast it on yourself
TY, it says that it requires the starter edition, which one would that be? I currently am on free trial [I think it's the one that has ARR and lets me play until LV60].
to delay life you just mirage dive after your second geirskogul
after that, you just mirage dive before as normal
Wait… if you cast it on yourself do you stop moving?
buy the complete edition instead, since that's everything together in one neat package and its also on sale @slate harbor
no
Huh i do this all the time by accident
Yeah would recommend using that holmgang and nascent flash macro
only your second
the rest you mirage dive before geirskogul to collect eyes and enter life in your buff windows.
And casting it on yourself means you can use holmgang wherever, not limited to 6 yalms?
Yes
Oh sick
you can do it by deselecting the boss but it's mostly easier to macro it
The collector's edition is missing some expansions that the complete edition offers? Or what is the difference?
collector's edition i s just additional digital goods
Collectors edition is extra goodies like minions, mounts, glam
and you can upgrade to that on the mogstation anyway
the collector's upgrade service is also on sale right now as well
The newer collectors editions kinda suck
They have less rewards than the older ones
But cost the same
Which edition would you guys recommend buying as a new player?
