[twilit arch]

what exactly is the issue you're having with the macro

[formal ridge]

i've never created a macro in the first place, so i have no idea what im doing

when I hover over it, it's like there is no actual skill linked to it.

[twilit arch]

that's normal

[torn canopy]

where we can trade minion from quest?

[twilit arch]

there's no way to add the skill tooltip to a macro

[gray crescent]

after flood rain? arent team suppose to refresh and go to other side of the deck?

[formal ridge]

I see, ok ill wait to try it out in a dungeon/raid

thanks

[dapper oyster]

uh how to make gathering get 100% HQ? im using level 70 equipment on level 25 quest and its still 15% HQ

[faint flare]

Yes, resetting to your groups platform is standard

[faint flare]

Use skills

[twilit arch]

you need to use skills to get higher than 15%

[faint flare]

It's capped at 15%

Without skills or bonuses

[icy charm]

Can we switch from matched to fixed in PotD?

[faint flare]

No

[icy charm]

oh alright

[dapper oyster]

it only add like 30%?

[faint flare]

There's other HQ increasing skills you can use

[gray crescent]

@faint flareyou need to goback to your first group? or you need to go other platform after flood?

[faint flare]

You go to your groups platform

[plush hound]

To get 100% you need to use either Leaf Turn III for Botanist or Unearth III for miner.

If your perception rating is high enough it will go to 100%

[dapper oyster]

im still at level 25 quest orz
ive been power levelling so i skipped all the job quests

[plush hound]

The abilities are not quest dependent. If you're level 63+ you have the respective ability.

[gray crescent]

hello, for example we got flood rain in red platform, after this? me and the 3 people needs to go other platform right/@faint flare

[faint flare]

No

You go back

To your original group platform

If red was your platform, you stay

[gray crescent]

ohh ok. so its not all the party needs to go other platform. i cleared thsi trial like 3-4 times im still doing it wrong

@faint flareok thanks

[wispy basalt]

does Roulette reset when im inside the q like frontline

[faint flare]

Yes

[severe brook]

Any female voice 9 miqote experts?

[wispy basalt]

do i get the rewards after it reset

[faint flare]

It checks on completion

[wispy basalt]

hmmm.

thanks.

[sleek needle]

You should absolutely put /merror before from what I've heard or it won't turn off error until it gets to that line 🤷 I haven't tried with it at bottom tho

[twilit arch]

wont work if its at the bottom

merror has to be read first for it to actually be used

[sleek needle]

Ye

[boreal aurora]

i checked mb fee it said crysatrium is reduced but its 5% too same as limsa lamisa

[twilit arch]

micon is the only one that should be at the bottom because its a dead line

it doesn't need to be read first for it to do its job

[boreal aurora]

i dont understand

[twilit arch]

that's for the seller fee, not the buyer's fee

[sleek needle]

Global market fee is always 5% (for buying?)

[boreal aurora]

no im selling

[twilit arch]

so if crystarium is reduced, whenever you sell an item when its in the crystarium you get a slightly lower cut taken from you

[boreal aurora]

it says 5% too tho

[sacred oracle]

how to counter imp

we wiped x4

[tropic flame]

whats the best way to tackle fundamental synergy

[cursive ridge]

what was "Garo gear"?

[twilit arch]

dps are always going to be changed into imps, they need to stand infront of ultros to get hit by his water attacks

and then use their skill 2 iirc on typhon when he stands in the middle and is glowing

[sacred oracle]

thanks a lot

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Garo gear you could earn during the garo cross over event. its no longer obtainable

[split dust]

The stormblood trial mounts are soloable to farm?

[twilit arch]

only lakshmi

and iirc only by war/pld

[split dust]

So a small group can do it?

like 2 or 3 ppl

[faint flare]

Yeah

Just press vril to win lol

[obsidian inlet]

So I am curious about the levequest

So does it help lvl up the other prof like bsm levequest and lvl up w/ a different profession?

[boreal storm]

The exp goes to the one that took the leve

[obsidian inlet]

So it doesnt work on the other then?

basically they are seperate correct?

[faint flare]

Crafters leves are separate cause they're job specific

[obsidian inlet]

F

In order words there is no shortcut

[toxic kiln]

There are grand company turn-ins

[obsidian inlet]

True

[twilit arch]

grand company turn i ns are also class specific tho

[boreal storm]

As is Ishgard restoration

[twilit arch]

realistically the only ones you can cheat on are the beast tribes and custom delivery

as usually can craft it on the higher lvl crafter if you have one and turn it in on the lower level one

[obsidian inlet]

😅

I might as well stick too one then

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i become that?

[boreal storm]

Squadrons

[plush hound]

You have to work through your Squadrons. Once they get strong enough you'll get a special mission deployment. They finish that and you can rank up.

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thanks

[icy charm]

When you wipe at PotD boss, can you still redo the 10 floors?

[faint flare]

Yes

[icy charm]

There is no penalty or anything?

[tropic flame]

nope

penalty is just redoing the floors

[icy charm]

oh alright.

thanks!

[magic compass]

With Aether open again, my friends asked my wife and I to start over. We leveled to our 20s and noticed queues were bad compared to Crystal. Off peak 25min guildhest for tank vs instant on Crystal. I’m sure it’s due to Aether being locked from new characters for so long. Should I expect it to be like that until endgame? So far it makes me feel like we should just stay on crystal.

[regal pawn]

Guildhests are bad

And people don't queue for them that often

Also, aether has a higher than average population of tanks if i remember correctly

[boreal storm]

Guildhest dead content

[icy charm]

guildhest queues in JP are instant tho. lol

[west parrot]

Will Edenmete gear be desynthesizable in Endwalker? trying to decide if I should keep them for now or turn them in for GC seals

[twilit arch]

yes it will

[west parrot]

great ty

[hasty turtle]

i havent really bothered with squadrons at all ever since unlocking them months ago, i've gone and checked if i got some new recruits but i have got none at all (i have done a bit of challenge log passively just playing through the game) am i missing something?

[boreal storm]

It’s RNG

[hasty turtle]

do they run out or something

if you dont check them soon enough

[pure flume]

just to make sure, can i immediately fly if i purchase a flying mount from the shop ?

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

All mounts fly

[hasty turtle]

lol no

[faint flare]

Everything flies

You just need to unlock flying for that zone

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'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/

[pure flume]

ohhh okay

ty

[hasty turtle]

is there any way to easily "farm" recruits for squadrons

[boreal storm]

Do challenge log

[hasty turtle]

i can't believe that i didnt get any recruits over several months of playing

[boreal storm]

That’s literally it, RNG may or may not bless you

[regal pawn]

You can easily do a challenge log in the gold saucer

[hasty turtle]

so it's not completing tasks but rather the whole sub category

like all of gold saucer challenges

all pvp

etc

[twilit arch]

its for each challenge log itself

[boreal storm]

It’s doing individual challenges

[torn zinc]

Hi, has anyone run into an issue where their character data keep getting corrupted and crashing the game over and over?

[twilit arch]

you don't have to complete a whole section

[boreal storm]

Each has a chance of a recruit, so do as many as possible

Not the Eureka log, iirc

[twilit arch]

there's an enlistment manual you can buy for 2k seals to boost recruit chance

[hasty turtle]

is the % chance known?

[twilit arch]

ye, eureka will not give recruits

[hasty turtle]

how could i possibly not get a single proc over 2 months of playing

is it like 1%

[hasty turtle]

where can i get that?

[boreal storm]

1st lieutenant is needed to buy

[clever totem]

why i cant meld the materia? already did quest in central thanalan. WVR quest lvl20.

[boreal storm]

Look at the item level requirements

[faint flare]

Materia too high of the level

Read the materia ilvl requirements

[clever totem]

ah i'm dumb -.-

okk thanks guys

[hasty turtle]

fuck, so i just need to keep doing challenge log and hope for the best?

didnt think this was so scuffed holy shit

[honest anvil]

have you checked your barrack?

[boreal storm]

Alternatively ctrl U

[honest anvil]

some potentials might have already shown up

[hasty turtle]

ye i have no recruit listings

i went into barracks months ago, spoke with the dude that told me how to unlock them, and never came back until now

[proud willow]

Just to make sure, are you absolutely sure you're looking at the recruitment papers and not something else?

[honest anvil]

ye check the book on the table

[boreal storm]

Then get to doing them challenges

[honest anvil]

that might be an extreme case bad luck >.>

[hasty turtle]

i have that in every game lmao

hence why i like this game since rng is so little

[deft quiver]

theres gonna be materia 9 with endwalker, right?

[honest anvil]

should be ix and x ye

[deft quiver]

aight

so cracked clusters are gonna be useless at that point

current ones at least

[honest anvil]

well … you’ll see the rng side soon enough

[hasty turtle]

are the recruits you get for squadrons completely random and /or have significant differences? or are they just cosmethic?

[faint flare]

Cosmetic

They're pulled from a pool

[hasty turtle]

so they're the same for everyone

if you pull the same npc

[faint flare]

Yes

You can change their classes

With an item via seals

[boreal storm]

Different Classes have different stats allocations

same class at same lvl are identical

[cursive ridge]

what does this icon mean?

[regal pawn]

you're auto attacking it iirc

[boreal storm]

Auto attack

[cursive ridge]

oh, that's neat

[hasty turtle]

do you get a prompt or something when you get a recruit upon finishing challenge log task?

[tropic flame]

yes

[tidal yarrow]

ucob instance is 120 minutes right?

[tropic flame]

you can also check through timers menu

[sonic urchin]

new to the game, is there anyway to travel long distance other than chocobi?

[solemn jewel]

teleport

[spiral inlet]

do I need to level up desynth

to get

rare items

for like my level 80 drops?

because I am sort of getting them

without leveling desnyth

o.o

[sonic urchin]

ah ok i need to learn to teleport yet

[faint flare]

Attune to aetherytes

And you'll learn it

That's rule 1 of entering a new zone

Go attune to the aetheryte

[regal pawn]

Technically no

But having your desynth level above the iLVL of the item will increase the chance of rare stuff

[spiral inlet]

rare stuff

such as

dyes?

[regal pawn]

Desynthing a trial weapon and getting the trial mat for example

[sonic urchin]

alright , thanks

[spiral inlet]

ah ok

but if I just want the mats

to craft

it won't fail

if I just do regular desytnh

without leveling

[faint flare]

Desynth can't fail

But if you meet the recommended desynth level, you'll have a higher chance for the rare mat

[spiral inlet]

very nice

ok thanks

I should have been desynthing

a long time ago

as an omnicrafter

; ;

here I am

wasting my white scrips

like a chump

[deep badger]

So none of the ps4/5 licenses on thw ff14 website are getting the 60% off sale. But they are on the ps store. Can I buy the one on the ps store and then connect my ff14 acct to my ps acct?

[faint flare]

Yes

You buy on psn then you login with your mogstation account

And then follow the prompts to link iy

[deep badger]

Do I connect on the molestation website or while I'm logging in on the ps5

[proud willow]

Are you on the PC trial right now or do you own the game?

[pallid hearth]

guys what's the meaning of this?

[proud willow]

or the Playstation trial

[pallid hearth]

what are those purple thingie and what's the empty slot above it?

[proud willow]

completing Fates in each of the zones will gradually rank you up, which unlocks shops

[deep badger]

I own the full game on pc

[proud willow]

then yeah, you're fine. When you buy the game on PS store, one of the installation steps will have a button that says "I already have a Square Enix account"

just make sure you click that and log in

[deep badger]

Oks

[echo osprey]

Hey guys

[deep badger]

Ty

[echo osprey]

How do I add 3rd hotbar

[pallid hearth]

then what are those purple dot thingie and the empty slot above it?

[proud willow]

That's just a visual representation of how many you've done. one diamond = 1, one spikey symbol = 10. You're done when you have 60 Fates in totall

[pallid hearth]

oooh I see!

[faint flare]

Character configuration > hotbar

Toggle on there

[pallid hearth]

thanks!

[proud willow]

hit Esc and go into HUD Layout, you can right-click a hotbar to toggle it on or off. You can also go into Hotbar Settings to change whether it is shared between your different classes or not

[faint flare]

Remember to toggle sharing off so they'll swap when you swap jobs

[deep badger]

U get music scrolls, minnons, mats, and more to buy with the bicolor gems

[dry pelican]

hiya is it true that command/squad missions are good for leveling 50-60?

or atleast close to level 60

my average potd runs are around 10-15 minutes which seems rather slow

[faint flare]

Yes cause you're getting dungeon xp which is better

The ai is abit stupid but it's a fine way to level

[regal pawn]

yah

But results will vary

[unborn geode]

Do gathering survival manuals give exp bonus to fishing ??

[regal pawn]

Yah

[unborn geode]

sweet

[agile laurel]

Works well. I use it 24/7. Why?

you do actually have the routes applied, right?

because frankly, it does work for FF, so there's nothing I can tell you besides you're doing something wrong

[regal pawn]

Or you already have the best possible route

[agile laurel]

There's little I can say. I'm based in the UK and playing on crystal. It is factual that it works

To whit, I typically don't pay much attention to whatever numbers are on the screen because it doesn't matter

Either you have the best available route or it's not running for whatever reason

[heavy wadi]

It's not the problem of exitlag because a number of people use it perfectly fine. Sounds to me like that's just the best route you can get.

[regal pawn]

Which means you might already have the best route.

[leaden ginkgo]

When I do MCH, I just randomly click Heat Blast, Gauss Round and Clean Shot during that phase, but is it the correct thing to do? Or, should I be clicking them in order?

[agile laurel]

you've just said totally random abilities - are you totally sure you meant that?

[sacred oracle]

are those bots? they move at the same time

[agile laurel]

it does say 'estimated' in big friendly letters

[regal pawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[last sapphire]

yep

[heavy wadi]

it's not false.

[agile laurel]

i'd advise taking your question to their own support, i know they have a discord

[last sapphire]

Twintania right?

[sacred oracle]

yes

[last sapphire]

They're a band managed by 1 guy.

[sacred oracle]

understandable

[last sapphire]

You'll see them around from time to time, in all cities.

[sacred oracle]

i see i see

so something like multiwindows

[last sapphire]

Yea, running the game multiple times. They also create midis for the bard software.

[patent citrus]

yeah looks like it's trying to put a up a show

[agile laurel]

think logically, what reason would they have to falsify numbers? it's said on the app that they're an estimate

you've been told that it works for plenty of people and you're not likely to get any better answer than that - as said, you'd be better asking them directly

[patent citrus]

like the movement is too well organised for a bot, lol

[sacred oracle]

weird stuffs xD

[last sapphire]

yea it was weird seeing them for the first time

[agile laurel]

uh, anywhere with a practice dummy probably

outside any major city

[regal pawn]

enemy aoes

[heavy wadi]

That doesn't matter? This game has servers hosted in another location. It could be pathing you a weird way and that's the best way the vpn can figure out.

As I and emu said before, I don't understand why you're insisting on the program misleading you when a number of people are using it without issues.

[agile laurel]

not really anywhere specific

and remember, if you're using that as a point of comparison, FF has a significant amount of lag because of how it's coded. AoEs register their damage when the area disappears, not when the effect lands. And an AoE that hits multiple players won't damage everyone at once, it has to 'work around'

[dry pelican]

is there a guide on which command mission i should be running from 50-60?

[regal pawn]

Snapshotting is pog

[leaden ginkgo]

i did the quest i claim all aether things and i still cannot fly

[patent citrus]

you clearly missing the blue quests part

you only did 1 blue quest in those area

[leaden ginkgo]

where are they ?

[regal pawn]

You need to do all and you need to complete the MSQ up until it gives you an aether current

Luckily

All of the aether quests for that area are in that area

[agile laurel]

well, all the that give aether currents at any rate

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[patent citrus]

but in this situation, gotta come back and do the quest 😹

[regal pawn]

There's 2 that aren't 👀

1 for sea of clouds
1 for lakeland

Both of those start in the cities

[deep badger]

Are hud layouts automatically linked between consoles?

[faint flare]

Your settings are saved client side

[thorny falcon]

How long is msq arr?

[deep badger]

Oh good. Bc my ps5 hud is messed up

[rancid onyx]

which is better for leveling dps, gc squad or ptd?

[deep badger]

Around 100 quests. Depends on how long u take with the story

[deep badger]

Depends on ur potd team.

[faint flare]

It's longer than 100

Post arr is 80 quests itself

[thorny falcon]

What if I'm skipping the cutscenes

[faint flare]

Full arr with cutscenes is like 40 hours

[thorny falcon]

No offence

[rancid onyx]

theyre all 50+ i have gld,cnj and acn

[thorny falcon]

That's how long the main story is?

With cutscenes

[faint flare]

For arr

[covert marlin]

is there any thing worth buying to 'store' gil until I buy the game?

[deep badger]

I watched cutscenes and semi read the dialog and I think it took me 3 full days of grinding. But I had no job at the time

[faint flare]

Not the other expansions

The entire story right now is a few hundred hours

Cause you're literally playing through 4 full games

Soon 5

[deep badger]

Are u talking about ur squad team or potd team? Bc either way ur level synced in each content

[thorny falcon]

My job rn is still the beginning class

At lvl 25

[rancid onyx]

squad team, i just match with randoms in potd

[thorny falcon]

Should I choose a new job?

[faint flare]

If you want to

You can change freely

[rancid onyx]

if another job looks cooler for you go ahead

[thorny falcon]

Because only being a gladiator through out the entire game is kinda boring

[faint flare]

You upgrade to paladin at 30

[worthy drift]

Quick question: A dye is consumed upon use, right?

[faint flare]

Provided you've done your job quests and progressed the story enough

[faint flare]

Yes

[deep badger]

So it's personal preference. If u get a fast potd team then I believe potd is faster than squads but squads give u full dung xp which is usually 2 full runs potd. (Full run being floors 51-60 and repeat)

[ocean swan]

Hey, looking for some quick help while trying to clear hard-drive space, how do I uninstall FFXIV? I swear this isn't a troll, the launcher is genuinely unintuitive, theres no obvious uninstall location, and windows uninstaller insists "that's already running"

[worthy drift]

Shit. Some of them are insanely expensive @_@

[thorny falcon]

I've barely been doing the job quest

[faint flare]

They're MANDATORY

[deep badger]

U skip job quests u don't get skills

[faint flare]

They're the HIGHEST priority

[thorny falcon]

For plot progression

[narrow jay]

For your skill kit.

[thorny falcon]

Oh shit

[faint flare]

You'll be missing like 70% of your skills

If you don't do them

If you don't do the Lv15 quest you can't use Shield Lob

[narrow jay]

Your job stone gives you access to your actual kit, and a huge portion of that kit is granted through other job quests.

[faint flare]

For example

Job quests are MANDATORY

[narrow jay]

What level are you rn lol

[faint flare]

Do them IMMEDIATELY

[deep badger]

Gotta love those lvl 44 conjurers casting cure 1 in aurum vale

[plush hound]

Reboot your system then first thing use the control panel uninstaller. Should clear it.

[thorny falcon]

Well shit I've been putting them on the back burner

[faint flare]

If anyone is a class past the Lv35 dungeon that's an automatic kick from me

[thorny falcon]

And just doin the main

[faint flare]

Job quests are more important than story

Drop everything

[thorny falcon]

I know

[faint flare]

And go do them now

[boreal storm]

There’s a reason they appear on the msq tracker

[thorny falcon]

Ima do them after lord of fure

Fire

[faint flare]

No

Now

[thorny falcon]

But I'm already in the dungeon

[faint flare]

Again. You're missing skills

[boreal storm]

You’re griefing yourself

[thorny falcon]

But ifrit?

[faint flare]

It's griefing

They are that important

[thorny falcon]

Are they time limited?

[faint flare]

No

But again

They unlock vital and important skills

[deep badger]

If ur skipping story stuff why u playing the game? Bc u like combat and fighting? Then why hender urself and not have all the skills

[regal pawn]

Do your job quests.

No ifs or buts.

[woven mural]

do you guys know if there's a problem if my steam country and mogstation country differ?

[thorny falcon]

Mainly because of the extra shit

[boreal storm]

Why do you refuse to gain power

[regal pawn]

You're griefing by not unlocking your skills the moment they are available.

[heavy wadi]

do your job quests.

they are not optional

[thorny falcon]

I WILL

[regal pawn]

Job quests are higher priority than MSQ.

[heavy wadi]

do them now.

[faint flare]

People will start kicking you if they find out

[thorny falcon]

I'm fighting ifrit

[uneven wasp]

It's wild to me that people don't play games to have fun anymore

Well

[narrow jay]

If he's already mid-trial then that's that.

[uneven wasp]

Never did

[regal pawn]

It's not fun when your tank doesn't have skills that make the duty much easier.

[narrow jay]

But yeah, always stay current on your job quests.

[heavy wadi]

this is a multiplayer game.

[regal pawn]

It's not fun when your lvl 60 white mage doesn't have Lilies.

[narrow jay]

You'll get your stone at the 30 quest, and yeah.

[regal pawn]

It's not fun
When your teammates
Are throwing

[thorny falcon]

Ok done

[uneven wasp]

😩 that's not what I'm saying yo

[thorny falcon]

Ima do the class quest now

[uneven wasp]

People skip content because it's "more fun" to not enjoy the game

I don't get it

[narrow jay]

Anyway, lesson was learned, dogpile session over. =)

[thorny falcon]

The story is good

Ima read on more of it later

[uneven wasp]

I only skip reading sometimes because I'm adhd as heck and I can't read very well

[sharp forge]

What are all your thoughts on only playing “easy” jobs. I mainly play dancer,drk,whm,and rdm and I get that they dont have a crazy high skill ceiling. Considering trying blm for a higher skill ceiling. Whatcha all think?

[ocean swan]

Cheers!

[faint flare]

Play whatever

If you're good at it, you're good

[wispy orbit]

Hmm, got my lvl 80 miner and botanist tools, should I get the jewelry for gp next or the armor even though gathering is at 100%

[sharp forge]

I get that but imo I do fine as them all so idk ;-;

[faint flare]

But if you're shit at an easy job then holy shit you're a garbage player

[regal pawn]

Play whichever job you feel comfortable on

Don't force yourself to play a job you don't enjoy but is easier than the one you prefer playing.

[sharp forge]

I can do well on them all just feel silly only playing simple jobs sometimes idk lol

[uneven wasp]

I had a Pala who didn't aoe ads and would consistently lose qgro

[faint flare]

But they're also fun jobs

And that's what's important

[sharp forge]

But I pull my weight and do better than the people who dont know their rotation so eh

[spiral mango]

guys question about the orphans and the broken blade, when the DRK casts the spell on Sid, how do i stop him ?

[sharp forge]

they are fun c:

[narrow jay]

Don't worry about "feeling silly". If it's fun, play it.

[faint flare]

Just press your buttons and don't be completely fucking braindead to the point you forget to breath

And you're fine

[mossy delta]

what could cause such long queue times ? i'm on EU (chaos/moogle) at 7:45PM on a weeked, you'd think it wouldn't be dead time?

[narrow jay]

If someone tries to clown on you for "playing a simple class" then stop listening to them.

[faint flare]

That's an extreme

People don't que for that

[narrow jay]

They only want to make themselves feel better by shitting on someone else.

[heavy wadi]

don't queue for extremes.

[sharp forge]

No one has so far I’m just clowning myself 😔

[mossy delta]

i can always get a party though ?

[narrow jay]

Then stop listening to yourself haha

[mossy delta]

and i've done it like ten times already

[faint flare]

Odin is an extreme in all but name

[regal pawn]

imagine playing a simple class, what a clown /s
play whatever, chief

[faint flare]

Chances of clearing in duty finder are very low

[narrow jay]

all classes are valid

[faint flare]

Cause God damn people are dumb as bricks

[wispy orbit]

If you're queueing for extremes, you're basically hoping enough mentors are queued

[faint flare]

And then have them not leave immediately

[mossy delta]

okay seriously i keep hearing this but i've done this a bunch of times already and i didn't have trouble finding a party or clearing

it wasn't even mentors either, it was usually sprouts

[faint flare]

You've been hella lucky

[boreal storm]

If you’re talking about dark dance, You can’t

[mossy delta]

more like, is this an US DC thing ?

[faint flare]

And had people who aren't braindead

No

[sharp forge]

Ima stick to my fun classes for the time being. Very easy and super fun for bimbo brain. Thank you all very much

[faint flare]

It's universal

Extremes will actually attempt to kill you

[wispy orbit]

Having 4 dps already in 8 minutes might be decent

[heavy wadi]

no.

[faint flare]

The average DFer doesn't listen and will ignore mechanics

Thus wiping people

[heavy wadi]

directly queuing for extremes is a really bad fucking habit too

you will not clear anything past hw in df when it comes to extremes.

[wispy orbit]

It's fine on JP servers

[faint flare]

JP is different

[heavy wadi]

JP has a different culture. and even then they only df what's current.

[faint flare]

They learn in PF Then clear in DF and they have set expectations

They aren't greedy like us when it comes to mechanics

They actually respect people's time

[narrow jay]

They will also apparently mass blacklist people for not meeting expectations, so

bear that in mind when comparing datacenters.

=)

[wispy orbit]

I'm pretty sure you'll get people queuing for urrths eventually. It's a popular glamour run and one the first people unlocked

[heavy wadi]

you won't.

[faint flare]

Most people unsync it for glamour

Cause it's easy face roll at 80

[heavy wadi]

please don't encourage others to df extremes

[boreal storm]

It may not be labeled an extreme but it is tho

[inland pasture]

What good items can you buy with nuts?

[mossy delta]

the way you keep on pushing this seems like it's detrimental to someone else than me

what am i missing

[regal pawn]

just dfon't queue extremes in DF

[boreal storm]

People are dumb, time is wasted, use PF

[mossy delta]

i can't use pf anyway i'm still on the free trial

[boreal storm]

You can

[wispy orbit]

I mean I'm pretty sure I cleared urrths in duty finder couple years ago

[faint flare]

90% of people on duty finder won't listen or learn mechanics

[mossy delta]

i can't unless the party already exists

[narrow jay]

Exactly.

=)

[woven mural]

is entry billing cheaper than standard and can I purchase it forever?

[regal pawn]

yes

[boreal storm]

Yes

[mossy delta]

no, i got that. putting aside that it's totally opposite to my experience, what if I don't care ? i know odin mechanics and respect them

[wispy orbit]

Eh, you're underestimating players. You may have had some bad runs, but not all runs are like that

[regal pawn]

Still a shit habit

and with how "underestimated"

chaos, good luck

[faint flare]

You may respecti the mechanics but the 7 others likely wont

[boreal storm]

50/50 they’re shit or they aren’t

[heavy wadi]

dfing extremes will not do anything for you in the long run. at all. it's a bad habit.

[regal pawn]

People can hardly clear normal SoS
You expect them to clear an Extreme?

[wispy orbit]

Oh no, we might inconvenience some mentors, otherwise it's people actually queueing for that.

[heavy wadi]

the idea of doing any current extreme in df without coordination or a set strat is extremely far fetched.

[regal pawn]

you want to prog

make a PF

[wispy orbit]

Mentors literally sign up to teach people extremes

[boreal storm]

Lol

[regal pawn]

if only

[heavy wadi]

no.

[mossy delta]

how is it a bad habit ? you're all talking like i'm drinking whiskey every morning or whatever, it's not a habit i'd ever have to break

[faint flare]

Funny joke

[boreal storm]

Mentors ain’t got time for that

[wispy orbit]

I mean that's the downside to them doing the roulette

[regal pawn]

I'd rather 30m lock out

than extreme DF

[heavy wadi]

mentors are not there to carry.

which is what they'd be doing.

[wispy orbit]

Sounds like they shouldn't be a mentor if they aren't willing to teach. Oh well.

[faint flare]

If they're that smart enough

[leaden ginkgo]

Can anybody help me i wanna play with a friend in a free trial how can i do that is there maybe a paid player who wanne help us get in a party

[faint flare]

[boreal storm]

Mentors are more than likely to ditch if they see they’re doing an EX

[faint flare]

Spoiler alert: mentor means fuck all

It's memed as the burger king crown for a reason

[boreal storm]

“Crown shiny, me want”

[wispy orbit]

Oh I know, but I don't think I'd discourage people from trying queue for older extremes. Often they're doable even with pugs synced

[west parrot]

Does the party finder search alert notify you while inside an instance?

There is a FAQ for lvl 1-80 route?

[narrow jay]

As pretty much every mentor in this server will tell you, teaching early extremes is a complete waste of everyone's time because
a) people will not listen to instructions
b) the kits that existed at the time no longer exist right now, making intentionally syncing extremes for street/gamer cred worthless
c) if you want to clear synced for your own enjoyment, using a party finder will ensure you get people who also want to clear for enjoyment, instead of bitter old players who don't want to be there
d) people will not listen to instructions

do relic weapons also need a trillion tomestones

or can I get nexus in about a month

[boreal storm]

Anima is the poetics sink

[narrow jay]

Don't worry, though, the game rains poetics on you simply for clearing content and doing roulettes.

[devout lichen]

yeah, I just have a month to get as glowy as I possibly can

[boreal storm]

Zodiac is just annoying at times

it's not but it seems to be the glowiest

[cosmic fern]

Question: I was doing Alliance Roulette and noticed I was getting a +155% exp bonus, and I have no fucking clue where 7% of it was coming from.. I +50% Armory, +50% Rested, +30% Menphina, +15% FC Buff, +3% Food, which total up to only +148%..

I defo shouldn't have been getting an even multiple of 5% with a food buff on, and it even expired at one point and I was getting +152%, so that very much wasn't what was causing it..

[proud willow]

Maybe one of those is multiplicative bonus instead of additive, who knows 🤷‍♂️

[devout lichen]

to do paladin relic I need paladin at 50 don't I? I can't just do it on another class for paladin

go to a retainer vocate and ask about market taxes, they'll tell you the rates of taxes based on cities, to change a retainer to a city, talk to a vocate in that city

pretty sure the only situation in which retainer keeps their level is when you upgrade them from a class to that class's job

not quite

its only going from class to job, doesn't have to specifically be the class' natural job

FFXV Music FAQ

Where/How can I get the FFXV Orchestrion Rolls?
After you have completed the FFXV collaboration quest 'The Man in Black' you'll be able to buy the Orchestrion rolls from the Ironworks Hand located in Central Thanalan at x22, y18. The tokens needed to exchange for the Orchestrion rolls come from the Collaboration FATE Like Clockwork located east of Black Brush Station.

Each completion of the FATE gives you 1 token for silver rating and 2 tokens for gold rating, which means that you'll need to complete the fate 3 to 6 times to be able to buy all 6 Orchestrion rolls.

yes, but the online store's fenrir bike always uses at least the 'first' unlocked land speed even if you haven't completed MSQ to unlock it in that zone yet

it's only for a short while though as unlocking the first mount speed increase is usually very quick

i know it's subjective but still i'd like to hear a veteran's opinion on this

i'm not a veteran or anything but all my classes are 70+, it's obv extremely subjective based on what you like. all of them suck before 50 tbh as they're pretty simple but i had the most fun with ninja afterwards

with red mage close second

dancer also pretty fun

[hasty turtle]

i'm not asking for me necessarily but i roped in a bunch of friends into the game so

[dim marsh]

tanks and healers all kinda the same to me in terms of enjoyability

[hasty turtle]

i maxed ast, drk, war and drg

[leaden ginkgo]

Imo after trying most of the jobs: Most fun melee: Samurai (Ninja close second), most fun tank: gunbreaker, most fun healer: astrologian, most fun caster: black mage. I have little experience with physical ranged but machinist is fun too

[pure zenith]

Melee:monk, tank:Warrior, healer: Scholar, caster:frankly all of them, ranged phys:bard for massive intricate bows otherwise mch personally, although dancer does have really cool visuals

[dim marsh]

yeah i mean it's hard to say without knowing what your friends like, honestly with how easy it is to level they can always change if they're bored with the class they're playing

Mounts FAQ

When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts, ''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest ''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.

Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

but the mats that come from tomestone will be with savage

[twilit arch]

the only thing that's worthwhile to use it the truth of forests/mountains skill so you can see if the time nodes for the other gatherer is up if you're farming those

[split dust]

but how i activate those?

[twilit arch]

flag it as additional and then put it on your hotbar, click it to apply

but you're low lvl

its not important for you right now

[split dust]

im farming at diadem, i was thinking to use it to gather a wood node while in miner job

[twilit arch]

you can't

[split dust]

well, to see it on map

[twilit arch]

you would have to switch to botanist

[split dust]

ty

[silver ruin]

damn ok thanks

[devout lichen]

what even is the calamity salvager for

if you lose something?

[boreal storm]

Event/AF/msq gear

[twilit arch]

to buy back quest specific items, artifact gear, and seasonal rewards

[spiral mango]

so TEA non ultimate is part of MSQ ?

like, regular

[regal pawn]

Nope

[twilit arch]

alexander is the 8 man raid for heavensward, so no

[regal pawn]

Only raid that's part of the msq is Crystal Tower

[spiral mango]

oh

oh i see

so raids are like not tied to MSQ they are there for high end gear ?

[boreal storm]

Savages are

[spiral mango]

oh hmm

[boreal storm]

But like that only matters for the most recent tier

[regal pawn]

Raids have some story importance here and there
But they're not required for MSQ (outside of crystal tower)

[spiral mango]

will Endwalker release more raids ?

[frank sparrow]

Out of curiosity, when if ever will they implement special shiny weapons for Ruby weapon/emerald/etc?

[spiral mango]

is that the habit with expansions generally speaking ?

[frank sparrow]

Is there a certain period of time after patches where they do?

[faint flare]

No

There's no pattern to glowing weapons

Hell susanoo still doesn't have his

[regal pawn]

yes

every expansion has raids

[faint flare]

Every expansion always have 12 8man raids and 3 24mans

[regal pawn]

Even patches (0, 2, 4) will give us normal raids (8mans)
odd patches (1, 3, 5) will gives us alliance raids (24 mans)

[faint flare]

And 7 extremes

[leaden ginkgo]

Does anyone know the music that plays towards the end of the ultimate weapon quest where all ||warriors of light appear and dash towards the lahabrea||

[spiral mango]

oh hmm that's interesting

more content is always welcome

[outer mural]

thunderer

[leaden ginkgo]

Legend

[spiral mango]

whats the actual difference between normal/hard/savage ultimate ?

monsters have more health and damage and all otherwise is the same ?

[boreal storm]

Savage is for raids

[faint flare]

More mechanics

[spiral mango]

oh?

[faint flare]

No aoes

New phases

[boreal storm]

Ultimates are another beast entirely

[spiral mango]

damn its deeper than i initially thought

[faint flare]

Extremes are for trials, savage is for raids

[spiral mango]

i see

so ultimate has like 20 mechanics ?

[outer mural]

normal = standard, easy mechanics that have a lot of tells or lack complexity
hard = generally the same as 'normal'. this is a weird label they recently dropped using
hard dungeons are basically just new dungeons but in the same area. like for Haukke Hard you go back and there's a new layout and stuff
hard trials just mean 8-man

savage = harder, complex mechanics that need coordination
ultimate = hardest difficulty, hardest fights in the game, and more hard than savage

[faint flare]

Savage is on average a 10-12min fight

Ultimates are 16mins with basically no break or checkpoints

[spiral mango]

checkpoints?

[outer mural]

the hierarchy of difficulty is u
normal/hard < extreme=unreal < savage < ultimate

yeah sometimes fights have two phaes

[faint flare]

Checkpoints yes

[outer mural]

if you beat phase 1 you get a checkpoint that respawns you at the start of phase 2i f youj die

[spiral mango]

wdym checkpoints

[faint flare]

Meaning you'll start there if you die

[outer mural]

ruby weapon has one

[boreal storm]

Checkpoints, they mean exactly that

[spiral mango]

ohhhh

[outer mural]

ultimates have like

[spiral mango]

oh god no checkpoints at all? that means u cant fail not even once

[outer mural]

half a dozen and above phases

[faint flare]

Nope

[outer mural]

with zero checkpoints

yeah ultimates need to be done perfectly

it's a test of endurance and correctly doing mechanics

[faint flare]

Deaths can quickly sprial into wipes

Depending where you die

[outer mural]

that's why people usually take months to prog it and get their first clears in

[boreal storm]

No cheesing ultimates

[faint flare]

Savage gets cleared day 1 or 2 of launch

[spiral mango]

dang!

[faint flare]

Ultimates take a week

[spiral mango]

😮

[faint flare]

And that's a week of hardcore 16/20h prog

[outer mural]

of course we're talking about the best of the best players who lock themselves in their rooms until they clear yeah

so it's more of a comparison between tryharding day / week 1 prog for savage vs ultimate

so you can see how much harder it actually is to learn and do, even for the best players in the game

[safe vessel]

Hey, I just finished Shadowbringers, and wanted to unlock the Nier raids, but the Quest isn't available? Is there something i need to unlock first?

[faint flare]

!quest Word about Korma

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[spiral mango]

damn...

[safe vessel]

(I think I completed Shadowbringers, i can unlock every other lvl 80 content)

[faint flare]

!quest Word about Komra

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[faint flare]

Really kupo

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Word_about_Komra

This quest chain

[safe vessel]

I know, im standing at the quest giver

[faint flare]

Check to see if you already accepted/completed it

Cause the first quest wasn't locked by shadowbringers completion

[safe vessel]

hm

[faint flare]

!quest A Scandel in Komra

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[safe vessel]

i really did, dammit.

[spiral mango]

i see some ppl on youtube and they use like less spells even tho they are max level, like their hotbars arent entirely filled

[safe vessel]

Im in playing german so i didnt notice, but thank ya! :D

[faint flare]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/A_Scandal_in_Komra

[spiral mango]

is this the case with all classes? like a few skills that you never really use ?

[faint flare]

Is the next step

[leaden ginkgo]

i don't understand why i'm block i paid the game

[faint flare]

Some people hide hotbars that their main skills are on

[hasty musk]

what floors of HoH do I use for leveling

[twilit arch]

@hasty musk 21-30

[boreal storm]

There’s not enough spells currently to fill all the hotbars

[faint flare]

Buy shadowbringers

You only have the Base game

And not the dlc

[spiral mango]

oh

[boreal storm]

That’s why people say 3 is enough

[spiral mango]

i mean like 3 hotbars but i think thats what ur referring to

[outer mural]

sqenix wants all classes to be playable under 3 hotbars

[spiral mango]

i see thats reasonable yeah

[safe vessel]

I only know one of Astro tbh

[lilac nacelle]

my samurai hotbar almost fills 3 hotbars, and it feels a bit overwhelming :-p

[spiral mango]

if it isnt a bit challening there's no point to it

[hasty musk]

SAM is one of the most buttony classes

[boreal storm]

Gotta keep people from freestyling amirite

[boreal storm]

Also no

[astral otter]

Hello I wanted to know what’s a good way to level up my rogue to 15 I want to continue story on him I switched from a arcanist and wanted to main rogue from the beginning

[heavy wadi]

challenge comes in skill, not with the number of buttons.

[boreal storm]

Fates, hunting log

[austere agate]

What's the fastest way to get compact axles?

[astral otter]

What’s a hunting log?

[faint flare]

Press h

[spiral mango]

so ur saying many skills arent challenging

if your rotation has many skills its easier ?

[boreal storm]

Pushing buttons isn’t hard

Pushing them correctly however

[spiral mango]

duh i dont mean smashing your keyboard

[heavy wadi]

pushing buttons isn't hard. pushing them properly is another story. pushing them properly while mechanics are happening is yet another story

[spiral mango]

that's what I meant

a perfect rotation requires that

[faint flare]

Your rotation is just muscle memory

Eventually you can just turn off your brain and auto pilot it

[spiral mango]

hmm i guess

yeah well i imagine yes, with enough time

[heavy wadi]

in a vacuum any rotation is easy. in actual fights? it's harder.

[spiral mango]

do MSQ quests get reduced in raw numbers after HW?

[spiral mango]

that'd make sense, yeah

[boreal storm]

X.0 msq are basically the same amount, as are patch quests

[spiral mango]

oh

[boreal storm]

After ARR is the only big drop in quest numbers

[spiral mango]

so like

80 for the plot + 80 preparing for next xpac ?

[faint flare]

Post expansion stuff is much shorter

[regal pawn]

80-50

ish

[faint flare]

Quest number wise

[boreal storm]

There’s like 40 Patch quests each in HW, SB, and ShB

[spiral mango]

i see

ima go to sleep and grind MSQ tommorow

gn guys

[agile dome]

hey this is gonna be weird but i wanna learn a tank and as fun a gun breaker looks is there a starter tank i can get a feel of?

[solid basin]

if I have reflect L on my current logos skill can I have another reflect L in my logos actions?

[faint flare]

Yes, in one of the trays

[solid basin]

Warrior and Dark Knight is really beginner friendly

[solid basin]

ah alright

[fickle plume]

for scholar, can all your barrier heals give catalyze or can only adloquium give catalyze?

[regal pawn]

only adlo

[fickle plume]

alright

[regal pawn]

If it doesn't say on the tooltip, it probably doesn't do it

[agile dome]

@solid basin i guess i will try warrior
