Restores target's HP.

Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
ah cool, never played sch,

Yes
alright ty

kael kael

WHAT
I cant login using XIVLauncher it's always not responding whenever I login
Is there a website which shows the aether currents by order? I'm missing the 2nd out of 10, but I dont want to have to check every location
rare seed used to make a cute lavender-like flower field
perfect thank you!
Basically
A rare mat for a housing item
there's no achievements for trusts, are there?
There is one for getting all of them to 80
you get a title called Trusted Friend
Very pog
hello
is there any page or guide where I can see what's the best lvl 60 gear for every class?
augmented shire gear for 60
You get it in Idyllshire by trading in the allegan tombstones
Am i the only one who has blurry shadows and after a while it sharpens itself on its own ?
Just want to confirm, is it better to use ranger lb on mob pull?
ranger or caster
caster can be easier to hit due to circle
melee is out of the question obviously
There was a damage chart comparing the different LB damages
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
caster is a bit more potent
I've been doing for a long time, was just in a run both range and used lb on a pull then the healer was shocked I used claiming they never seen anyone use it on mobs
Alot of DPS basically
A) don't use it at all
B) ranged don't bother cause see A
Sometimes I wonder if dps even have LB keybinded at points
My favorite is when there's a melee
Yeah I did, still annoying to have that convo
At least it's used
Letting LB go to waste is literally my biggest pet peeve
Outside of undergeared people

Need help please
what's up
Saying what you need help with fully does help
I still haven't gotten my moogle shop reward :(
click the thing i sent
Okay I'll do that when I get home from work lol :)
That made me laugh when u said that xD
Click this bad boi 😹😹😹
Click that and wait abit...if ot doesn't come in a few hours after pressing it, send a ticket in
Once you're at a location from a treasure map, how do you look for it
But I've done a treassure map before
Can i ask how to earn FlameSeal?
I've done the quest though
Ah that's it!
Oh I didn't know you could get another map from the treasure
Depends on your current rank with your grand company (assuming it's the Immortal Flames). If you're low rank, do the Grand Company hunt log, FATEs, and your daily leveling dungeon roulette. Once you get to... 2nd Lieutenant? you'll be able to start doing gear turn ins - any green, pink, or blue gear you have that you don't need anymore can be exchanged for a quantity of seals. Higher ilevel gear gives more seals.
You can also get them if you qualify for the Adventurer In Need bonus.
But yes, under normal circumstances, you can only get them once per day from the roulette.
Does FC airships and subs progression carry over when you change FC ?
No. They belong to the FC, not the individual player.
I just unlocked something called "The Hunt" after ranking up with the GC.
What is it? Is it a dungeon or?
does retainer gear matter on quick ventures?
you can now beat down big overworld bosses (a hunt) for tokens like seals
Ah thanks. Were these bosses not available before? Or like not visible for me?
Also what do you do when you're capped on seals?
What do I buy instead of just gear? Can I convert it to gil?
It's side content. There are daily marks, which are randomly selected normal monsters that you can locate and kill. Weekly marks are "B-rank" enemies. There are also A-rank and S-rank enemies like world bosses, which generally require a party to take out.
they're there but you dont get anything for killing them before you unlocked it
I see, thanks guys.
You've probably seen A and S ranks as you quested. They would have been very high level enemies for the zone you were in.
So whenever I see people using LFG for "hunts" this is what they mean?
you've seen those random lvl 50 enemies in early game areas
Yep, that's what they're talking about.
The last two ranks you have to do squadron missions to qualify for.
Oh, how do I get started with that? I recalled it was mentioned but no tutorial popped up with that
Go into the Barracks in your GC headquarters
Aaaah
That wasn't there before :)
So I got two questions.
I need to get a last recruit, how do I do that?
Do I need to enlist one of the NPC in my barrack?
What class should I pick?
What do I actually do? There was a quest there, but it disappeared from my quest log after talking to the quest giver.
You get recruits by doing weekly challenges in your challenge log.
I see
Different types of activities can bring in different recruits.
Like finishing these two?
There will be recruitment papers on the table in the barracks.
Yes.
You can recruit up to 8 squadron members in total.
It's a good idea to have a variety of classes, since different missions require different balances.
Ok, so how do I take out my squad? I got a tank, dps and a healer.
Speak to the squadron master NPC.
You don't "take them" anywhere.
You send them on missions.
Where that npc? Not in the barrack
you can "take them" on command missions with you in a select few dungeons from 20-60 though?
this guy?
Yes, you need four.
Does crystal tower still only give 1 memory for change of arms?
Thanks dude, that was helpful. So this is like the mission table in Warlords of Draenor?
Yes, more or less.
It can be used to level your classes from 20-60 later since you can go out in dungeons with your squad
What's the purpose?
I thought that was. something you could only do in Shadowbringers with the NPCs standing outside the dungeon?
if i buy the game from https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/product/565249/final-fantasy-xiv-online-complete-edition-collector-s-edition-pc-download, is it a steam key or its own launcher
Nah, you can do it with your GC squadron too
That's not an option until higher ranks of squadron. If he's just starting out, this isn't relevant.
What's the purpose of the missiong table? I thought retainers was like the mission table?
It's very early on...
It's level 20 for your squad
He's literally just starting.
okaaay but that's still something you can do after like the second mission
Level 20 is a bit along, and you have to finish a flagged mission.
I am just starting, and I have no intention of using them in dungeons anyway :)
not steam
Maybe it's good for lvling DPS classes early on I suppose, skip the queue time.

You'll have to do at least 5, I think, for the Captain rank.
@open coral Dude thanks a bunch, it was helpful!
Will go do some Gold saucer challenges and see if I get recruits
thanks @alpine shadow , does the game and its expansions ever go on sale on steam?
yes, but not at the same time
I bought the complete edition for $15 during the summer ^^
why is there no higher yellow ones? friend got more there to buy ...
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Can I level sync the ARR relic raid?
Yes.
i dont need master books ... 
It's not just master books that get unlocked, you do know that?
well, ive done those + im done with the story, still just got 50 yellow ones.
you clearly haven't done those.
these two will unlock the 60 and 70 scrips respectively
thats why i have all master books but not the equipment?
pretty sure master books are from the 50 trade
If Im at 5.5, Should I have every trial unlocked by now?
If you've done the
for the optional ones, then yes.
You won't have the side trials unlocked unless you did the 
is there a list of optional ones?
For ShB it's just the Weapons. Ruby, Emerald, and Diamond.
ah yeah I got those
!faq contentunlock
nice ty 🙂
The rest of the trials for ShB are tied to the MSQ, so if you've done the Weapons, then you're set.
can you put a gatherer job mirage over a battle job equipment ?
Only if it's All Classes gear
If you can't equip the gear on the job, you can't glam it
ah god dammit
is there any kasa style hat other than the gatherer one or the 9 euros one ?
You can buy it on the marketboard or make it yourself
alright thanks !
Kinda expensive tho
cause it needs the weird leaf thingies
which you get from treasure maps
does gear for quickventures matter?
email offer?
what exactly is "New Game+" ?
You redo sections of the story
ah
Is there a NA server that actually has free companies that do stuff like dungeons and end game other than glam and clique around? I wanna play the game but I don't understand the social structure or how to be a raider when I don't see many strong well organized FC's around?
fcs are for socialization more than anything else
you won't find fcs like wow guilds here
ohh
That won’t work for steam
No because if you want steam ver you MUST buy it from steam
If its from the SE store like that email, that's the non steam ver
its not about want, im already playing on steam ^^
Yeah main thing I get from FCs is the FC buffs (exp buff is great for leveling alts) and people to hang out
Well gotta buy it thru the steam store
Steam sales happen when steam wants them to
The high end raids in this game are done by static parties. Static parties are basically organized groups that meet a few times a week at set times to do the raids.
The FC’s are who you hang out with when not raiding.
Some people raid with folks from their Fc. Some don’t.
I’ve been in a few raid groups over the years and the most I’ve ever seen from the same Fc was 3 of them out of a party of 8.
I think my FC did a few treasure map runs and the yokai watch event together; good to have people with multiseaters XD;
Sometimes it’s better not to raid with your fc anyway, avoid drama that way if it happens.
More specifically it’s a chance to redo one time only quests like job stuff if you really liked it. Random example, I really enjoyed the level 60 dark knight quest. So replaying the battle and the emotional moments was fun to do again.
For battle retainers the higher their item level the better chance at the rate stuff.
yeah that's a good point, like FC is the people you live with and the static is the people you work with.
how do achivement points work? do i do something with them?

Jonathas in old grid, labeled with a trophy on the map
i know how the tokens work but whats the points for
You get 1 achievement certificate every 50 points when you go to Jonathas to buy a few things
ah
Otherwise it's just largely a sign of how much you've done
IIRC only the item level matters.
Individual stats do not.
Upping the average item level of your retainer's gear means that they can bring home more and better quality stuff on average.
As well as grab harder and higher-level items.
interesting! ty for the explanation
when does judging end for fashion report?
every tuesday
Weekly reset
does Samurai has any gap closers or mobility tools? im trying to pick between ninja and samurai
Yes
ok ok
All melees have gap closers
it has 1 in and 1 out
no no no
too much time
me not wanna do that
you have to pick one firts
me wanna focus one
Coward
i just hit 50 so thats why i was wondering
not everyone has time and will to do all classes
Is there a way to hover my mouse over a party members name and cast something on them without having to actually click and target them?
Is there only one place to get rewards for achievement points? If so, why is the stock so low but you can continue to build up points?
Because they might add to the shop later
I just bought the starter edition off steam after playing the trial for a while, and now it's making me redownload a whole 44 gb worth of updates. Is that normal? Or is it not recognizing the old data from the trial edition. I'd hate to have it downloaded twice
Only with super clunky and slow macros
What's the best way to make money at level 60?
how much time do you have before u get kicked out of pvp cuz afk?
You better not be trying to leech
Why are you afking to begin with
Like 5-10mins in pvp? It's pretty short
Don't leech.
Don't leech.
lul
dont even know what that is
You don’t what Leeches are?
AFK'ing in a duty
aka
doing nothing for rewards
You will get reported and banned sooner or later
PVP rounds are so short anyways so it's pointless to leech and risk a report.
how do u target closest enemy
When do Endwalker pre-orders stop?
when endwalker releases, nov23
So for what content eg: raids, dungeons etc. is it generally expected that you know what you're doing before getting in?
For EXs/Savages/Ult
Everything else is okay to go blind
Ultimate
ah so those are difficulty levels then?
Yes
With EX being extreme?
Hard isn’t a real difficulty here
It's just in the same location, but tiny bit different
And how about raids? I'm about to get into the Crystal Tower raids, is it expected of me to know what I'm doing for normal raids?
That's still under normals
hey guys, on the last step of the shadowbringers relic weapon, does anyone know the fastest level 70 stormblood dungeon i can farm? thanks
"Hard" is just an 8 man version of normal content
Gotcha thanks, don't wanna ruin other peoples experience to much lol
If it doesn't have extreme, unreal, savage, ultimate, binding coil or minstrel ballad in the name, it's normal mode content
Hell's Lid is pretty fast if you have a group with 2 or 3 BLUs with Ram's Voice and Ultravibration
What makes binding coil and minstrel ballad so unique then?
Minstrel is EX for big story fights
coils are essentially Savage difficulty, they just aren't tagged as savage
Binding coils Is ARR savage
Cause it's before they brought thr normal/savage split
Since the team was still learning
sorry to interrupt… recent returner here, quick question…. any info on saints wake yet?
Note that there is a Savage difficulty for the second coil raids, but that's even harder than regular savage
And you know, putting somewhat important story into a high end raid that not that many people will clear kinda isn't a good idea
!faq 2021schedule
Any kind peeps willing to carry me through a9s for aetheric densities? (the bard isnt 80 unfortunately)
That's the list of events until endwalker
Make a light farm party
nobody is joining in Pf 
Though according to the schedule slide, all saints wake is after endwalker launch
ty vm

Materia for use/sell and selling mats in general
Master recipe books too if you want them
(assuming you mean crafter scrips and not gatherer ones)
well crafter and gatherer scrips are different
also if you're going to do any anima weapons yellow scrips are the best way to get crystal sand for that step
You should check your marketboard for this information since it varies on a server basis
Some are more valuable in general but I can’t recall which off the top of my head
has anybody been using a G600 mouse with a PS4??? i have problems setting it up
Any suggestions on which class I should level after I beat Shadowbringers, and then fully level Blue Mage?
what does this mean?
Whatever one you want
FC application?
ohh I see
Any tips on finding a group to do light farming with for anima weapons? Seems like Party Finder is probably not the way to go and wait around for A9S to pop up haha should I look for an active FC and try to get help that way?
Party finder is the best way
Make your own party?
I see a9s groups in there all the time
Hmmm maybe I'm just on at a bad time. I'll keep checking or make my own group.
If it says all classes
Why am I getting +300% on PoTD exit XP?
I have Road To 70, but why is it 300% instead of 200%?
are you on a job thats not your highest level?
Yeah, but I thought armory bonus didn't effect the XP from exiting PoTD
it does
Oh wow LOL
hey so I swapped my gear list from my dancer over to red mage but it's still showing some dancer spells in the spell slots. When I drag them out it removes them from the dancers keybinds
any fixes?
turn off hotbar sharing for the relevant hotbars
Make sure you have sharing turned off for the hotbars
No other XP buff effects the XP you get from finishing a set of PoTD floors though, right?
Food, XP earings, FC +10% buff, GC buff, etc. is useless for that I assume?
ye

How does one know which mitigation to use at a time?
Or do you just slap on some random one and cycle?
logically use strongest first
or Authy
in lieu of that, use whatever is adequate
Generally speaking
Immunity first if it's a giant pull (usually a big ol' w2w)
Ohh yea right the immunity
Then 30
Then arm's right before 30 runs out
Then rampart
Then Reprisal
Google authenticator lmfao
or Authy app
whichever oen you prefer
Nah
OTP can be done through the physical token, software token or other apps
Which one you use doesn't matter
can u get 3 lines in wondrous tails or is it too hard
Gold certificates though
rip
They're very very rare
lol
what does the certificate do
You turn them in for items
cough
MONEY
Da Money Maker
but its the gold certificate tho
yeah
wont get that one xD
But what if you do tho
is there a gear for lv60 crafter/gatherer that is from scraps and for all crafting/gathering classes?
not class locked
gear=armor etc
iirc at 60 it starts to get class locked
There’s the 58 gear and 60 accessories
is chrystalis one of those you have to go in by party finder and not duty finder?
yeah
I want for all jobs
since there is all jobs gear for 70
and 58
but for 60 too?
You can go in with duty finder, it's a trial
best you can do is the 58 stuff
so tomorrow woundrous tails reset, what if I still have my old book and dont turn it in?
How do you get those
does it always take a long time to find people for chrystalis?
I can turn it until 12.10
get 3 lines in wondrous tails
What’s wondrous tails
nothing
book pickup resets weekly
you get 2 weeks to do it
I can turn my old book later and still get the new book?
yeah

is there a way to check market value of an item
without the market board
and retainer
Not 100% accurately
If you don't want to use the command
Note: It's not gonna be super accurate
As it's player sourced data
ah nvm, !item doesn't show how much it takes to sell to vendor
So if an item wasn't checked recently by a player who provides the data, it won't show you the recent price
They mean market board value :P
which items are worth buying for yellow scraps
Depends on the server, different selling prices
how did I go into pharos sirius if I dont even have it unlocked
Hey all, im new to the game and was just wondering if the story in 1-50 is worth reading/listening to?
yes
If you want to understand why later things occur, then yes
is there a guide that tells me what scenes are skippable, and what are not?
like, im pretty sure every scene with thancred is probably important
No because that’s a you thing
but momodi.... idk
is there a worth lore recap for 1-50 that i can read/watch afterwards to get the most important details?
i know that the story in this game is great, but ive also heard that it gets better later
Hello. I can't seem to get my cruise Chaser to switch into its airship form. From what I have seen on YouTube videos it is just a matter of hitting the space bar but that just makes mine hop. Could you help a paladin out? Thanks.
You need to fly
you need to be able to fly in the zone
Get flying
You have to unlock flight
!faq flying
'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/
the best lore recap is reading the story the first time. I'm sure there's a dozen ARR recaps out there that would be fine but most people would say that if you're going through the story you might as well read it
im only asking to speed up the process, cuz right now its taking a damn long time to missions done
what level are you
character is lv 26, MSQ is "Lord of the inferno"
ok
the advice you're gonna get from most people
is to chill and enjoy the ride to endgame
because rushing through the story is going to take
a very
very
long time
even if you skip stuff
oh wow, really?
and I ignored every other thing
bro, what?
I didnt even do aether currents
230 hours
You have 4 expansions and 20ish post release content patches of story to get through
It's 4 games
when is endwalker coming out?
!expansion
its singleplayer mmo
Final Fantasy first, MMO second
welp, time to grind i guess
mmo content is some dungeons
like if it takes 230 hours with skipping, might as well play it
aight, thanks all
this is a game is gonna be a long investment xD
is there a website that does the daily clan hunts best route thing still? The old one I used to use doesnt work any more
see yall in eorzea 👍
Hello I'm a level 64 SCH (lvl 80 SAM) who's still getting used to healing. Any tips about the class or healing gameplay?
Do damage
Broil
Art of war
Art is such a good spell until you look at the potency
So don't worry about them until they get lower than about 70? 👍
At 2 targets, Art is better than Broil 
Atleast is not ast aoe
Oh yeah ast aoe
You have to target the mob
Sadge
Holy and art you just have to press it
I can't target mobs that takes too much time
Tab.
It's genuinely not that hard.
Just click on the tank and spam art
That's a thing?
Then when you need to heal, press it again
And Gravity can sometimes be better
As you can be lazy about it instead of having to dodge AoEs from the trash
And voila, you're targeting the tank again
You can also use f-keys to quick target party members
True
And if you want you can change the way the party list is ordered
So your tank in a 4 man dungeon is always F2
I always forget about the f keys
The tank is always f2 by default
Couldn't remember lol
Point being you can tweak it to however you're comfortable with
how to dive
Ctrl + Space
In some situation you might want to use your free crit aldo for free auto heal spell
iirc
Ur right
What does excog do again i forgot
Grants self or target party member the effect of Excogitation, restoring HP when member's HP falls below 50% or upon effect duration expiration.
Cure Potency: 800
Duration: 45s Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1
It auto heal after 50%
It gives you some more breathing room
It make you do more damage
Except your broil do less damage than glare lol
Oh
It's AoE
Art outscales Broil at 2 targets
I thought it was low end for aoe
Not really
The moment more than 1 target is involved, art is just better
Do you get raw emotion for doing 70 dungeons unsynced?
no
iirc
has to be synced
No
is there a live version of this living anywhere? https://www.ffxivhuntpaths.com/
Make a party finder "Raw Emotion Farm"
Is that still the fastest method?
yes
Hell's rid
Unless you're doing more than 1 relic
BLUs
Do that dungeon
I take it that's for resistance
I have like
My recollection i think
For sam
The one I had to farm lvl 60 dungeons for
Is it worth it to run Delibrum if I have a weapon on the artifact step?
If you need time-worn, yeah
it's the only source anyways
iirc
or rather
POTD fucking sucks for that step lmfao
I mean, you could farm PotD but that's inconsistent as hrl
also
you get 3 per clear of delubrum
so 5 delus and you're done
And if you're doing multiple relics
You can farm that AND raw emotions from delubrum
It takes about 6 hours
it's around 40-50 minutes of delubrum per clear
assuming people use essences
which they should
Oh yeah also I've been hearing things about SCH being invalid when sage drops. Do we even know if it's true
But they don't
no
People are talking shit about scholar cause it didn't get anything flashy
It won't
Alright
Meme because sage looks cooler
and Combat Peloton is going to be big plays 
I saw the job actions
Sch still good, it just a meme saying sch is dead again
combat peloton? you mean the melee greed machine
Ranged dps must be angy
the "i used my sprint to greed so now i'm fucked for the mechanic" button
why would they
combat peloton is going to be on a long cd
cause it's mitigation as well iirc
nah
I didn't know it had extra stuffs
They're also making the pet jank better
no more fairy standing around doing fuck all when you tell her to pop regen
It's not even used in the first place
Considering she was standing still, they probably told her to stand still with pet hotbor
Wait I have it on my hud is that pointless?
you only need heel and place
And yeet that shit off
my scholar hud
I'd show off mine but I'm not even at my pc
but we're getting more into discussions now so
Off to #beginner-lounge i guess
i forgot the site that helps you find treasure maps, can anyone tell me the name?
Hey guys, I just bought the complete edition. I've been playing on the trial for some time now. is there a way to activate my key without re-installing FF14?
what the launcher did
wasn't re-installing
but it's getting the remaining files that you couldn't get when you were still on free trial
It’s downloading the expansions
You don't have the entirety of the Stormblood and Shadowbringers downloaded
Since you did not own those two beforehand
Thanks all
For the end walker preorder bonus, the earrings that give an xp boost up to level 80, I get to keep those and can just swap them to different jobs to effectively have a permanent boost to exp up to 80???
(unless you're steam /console)
wait, so you can get the earring and decided to not pre-order later? o_o
like what will happen to the earring?
"You won't be changed until EA"
it's just an artifact of when they used to offer physical preorders
The EA code is a "free" bonus for preordering
but you can cancel the pre-order?
Yes
and still receive the earring?
ohhhhh wait
you mean like pre-order and then not apply the code?
I misunderstood I think
"(unless you're steam /console)"
Steam/console charges immediately
so I can like pre-order now, then cancel later then my earring will be gone?
No
but I get my money back?
SE store doesn't charge immediately
cause I'm on SE launcher
what is this earring for
Boosts xp
30% exp boost
+30% EXP as well as level synced stats
for which lvls
1-80
Up to item level 430
yes
yeh
Yes
only on battle classes
and it's account-wide
It deleted all 79 and under earrings
so it will be delivered to every character you created
what's heirloom?
It's similar, yes
are there more rings like that?
wow thing
iirc it's just gear that gets stronger as you play
no just the earrings
What does the status info (other) tab in the HUD do?
only collectors edition gets it?
any edition
as long as it's a pre-order of endwalker
and only preorder?
Food buff, mount state, fashion accessories, misc stuff that doesn't alter your battle state
I mean, after the endwalker is launched do you still get the earring?
pre-order earring
@slate arrow ty ty
The last day is the day before Regular Service begins
Aka the last day of Early Access
After that, all preorder codes expire
Hello, I'm a older player looking to get back into the game sometime this week and just had a few questions. I'm thinking about buying the game on PC and had questions about buying the game, I already have a character at 80 and I remember going through MSQ in Shadowbringers, and with Endwalker coming out, I'm wondering the most optimal method of purchasing the game to have all the expansions from the start without spending too much money, so to speak.
Do you already own the game on PC
I played through on PS4 last year. I don't have it on PC yet.
!faq buy
the cheapest thing would be to wait for EW complete edition
tl;Dr complete + Endwalker
You can't log into your character on PC if you only have starter
If you don't mind waiting longer and/or don't care about the preorder bonus, then yeah Endwalker complete
as Endwalker comes with Stormblood and Shadowbringers
Okay, thanks man.
Any recommendations for a class to play after I beat Shadowbringers on my Paladin, and after I fully level Blue Mage? Kinda wanting an easy-ish melee DPS.
Well, I kinda just answered my own question, huh?
That's basically dragoon yes
Lmao. Alright. Dragoon it is.
Could also argue samurai but it’s all subjective so go nuts
From what I was told, samurai has a wacky recovery from your rotation going wrong
Dragoon is pretty barebones
I tried out Samurai when I was first able to unlock them. Seems pretty fun.
I'd say ninja personally, because it's my favorite melee, and it's really not as hard as people make it out to be
If you want the opposite, go Ninja.
Dragoon > samurai => ninja > monk
Dragoon 
many small number = beeg number
Monk is the most complicated, then?
Monk has positionals on every single GCD
Punching with fists is big difficult
(at least for now)
make sure to grab the pvp lance for dragoon 
They are removing some positionals on Raptor gcds
I play NIN thought it's the easiest fam 😿 but then again I used to main GNB, the TA burst phase is very familiar to NM burst phase
I reckon I'll fail more as a dragoon/sam
frontline brain dead
I still think NIN is easier than the others, it's entirely brain dead outside of TA
And in TA you mostly just have muscle memory
oh shit that looks dope
does it cost wolf marks?
yeah
wow nice
or is it feast achievement related
but they're like
braindead to get
that's not feast weapon? lol
I thought feast weapon have a glow like that, like that WAR scythe
ikr? lmfao
There's a mount and some hairstyles for wolf marks
there's also a cool coat
If you don't want the glowy spear
Snakeliege Spear
it's not, it's an arr pvp weapon you can buy with marks
also a cheerleader, if you're into that
and there's also the same spear but no glowy
The only thing I kinda wanna grind out is those Grand Company ranks or whatever, so I can get those Squadrons.
im gonna head over right now, dunno how i missed it
man i need to start pvp heh
i heavily recommend doing daily frontline quest
it's busted good for leveling
takes 10-15 mins like a regular dungeon
!iglam batliege soto
Yeah, Frontline roulette is mondo xp for 10 minutes of brainless zerg
Hunting Log
until you can do gear turn in for seals
then turn in all the trash you don't use
Maybe. I've got a while before I need to actually find a good way to level. Cause I'm gonna get to 80 on my Paladin via MSQ, and then my Blue Mage to 70 via... Stuff. Blue Mage stuff.
Nah, I don't wanna cheese it like that. I'm cheesing it enough as it is. Sticky Tongue, Acorn Bomb, 1000 Needles everything.
BLU is cheese incarnate
pvp in this game is casual fun, taking it seriously seems to be something for very few select people
that's how cheesy blu is
when do we get the BLU expansion
NEVER
when we go to the new world, or whatever
stormblood
!faq wolfmarks
I mean, true. But I like to think we Blue Mages have standards
just play frontline roulette
hmm, is there a good thing to dump wolf marks on if you bought all the armor sets you want?
lol standards
I would not be so brutish as to receive help from a max level
the weapons
How profound
!iglam Hawkliege Claws
mounts, orchestrion rolls
hm, ok, thx
and pvp roulette doesn't take long
there's a hairstyle you can buy and a few glam pieces
My friends are excited for me to level Blue Mage so we can go back to various bosses and just obliterate them. Lol
3 minions and a mount with wolf marks
Hairstyles, mount, minions, orchestrion rolls
My friends and I ran a low level dungeon and we pulled pretty much the whole dungeon, and I did self destruct. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
And that's why BLU isn't permitted in normal duty finder content
I went with hairstyle, thx 🙂
Yeah, no, completely understandable.
You can pull off similar shenanigans with Ram's Voice and Ultravibration
pull all the trash to the wall
Freeze it all
Then shatter it to kill it all instantly
which has the bonus effect of not actually killing you
so you can do the same thing again 2 minutes later

Hi, does anyone know if solo unsync works for the 30x6 step of the resistance weapon?
does the game warn you about the withdraw penalty only when you are about to get your third or it warns you even on your first
is there a drg version of this or any helmet which has fiery horns or some shizzle
nope 
So are both SCH and SMN losing DoTs, or just SMN?
just SMN as far as we know
what materia do i want on gear for samurai
generally for most classes it's melding for the preferred skill speed, then Crit > DH = Det
but you'll want to check The Balance for specifics
I've heard that even with scaling things like Relic weapons are objectively stronger in older content. How does that work?
cause you can choose your substats
You can spread the points out into different stats
To avoid the substat cap
It's only a thing for ultimates
!faq ultimatesync
Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, item-level 515 and 535 relics can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works).
See the calculator below
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Tanks can instead use their standard gear calc, which supports 70 sync and relics
https://bit.ly/TankDPSCalc520
So you can engineer them to be at the optimal power for that ilevel?
Got it, thank you.
Is there like a list of stuff you should do before starting a new expansion
eg: special dungeons or raids that give extra story
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world.The complete edition is perfect for newcomers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs – all in one complete package!
If I buy this
The place I enter the code is in the code entry section?
Or does it automatically be added
this should be it
make sure the region matches and you buy the steam version for steam or pc for pc
Also second question I plan on buying a ARR skip
why
If you're playing the steam version yes
you can only use steam wallet if you buy the game from steam
you can't use steam wallet, if it's not the steam version
Too slow imo
i dislike arr
can discuss dis/liking arr in #beginner-lounge
