all healers have insta revive
Makes every other spell instant cast
red mage can do multiple ina row
oh sick that's good to know
but like in some partys
healer dies= run dead
excpet when a rdm is in the party
because he can ress the healer
yhea i wanna be a deus ex machina of sorts while still being able to throw some damage
thanks
wait so the starting class is the starting job thing and unrelated to my actual class right?
i just got to that point lmao
Classes are jobs basically
Jobs are the advanced version of that class
Expansion jobs don't have a class cause classes are dumb and stupid
so what do i pick so i can be a red mage later?
oh ok lmao
Some people say go Thaumaturge or Arcanist so you can learn how a caster works and get yourself some gear
But it doesn't matter
cool thanks
will reaper use an existing “of the whatever” set of gear?
ty
oh and btw i'm using the trial version atm is the purchase on steam a one time or a membership?
this one
once you buy that, you get 30 free sub days, then you have to pay monthly
!faq subpriceeu
so yeah, getting that "starter edition" is a one time purchase, but the sub is not.
yeah, upto lvl60
ahhh
the MSQ skip in the store, does it get you Flying in ARR/HW/SB? Or will I have to still go and get the aether points in all those again?
but, starter edition is basically now 60
but there are also "free trial restrictions"
!faq freetrial
it unlocks flying for you as well
Is MCH the closest thing to gundam ff14 has? Cuz I love giant robots and stuff
though, if you want to go past lvl60, you would have to buy the starter edition, and shadowbringers.
less a gundam, and more a robotic stand
MCH is a cowboy with a robot pal and you cannot convince me otherwise
appears for 10-15 seconds, punches, and vanishes
that's a lot of resrictions
i wish there was a one time done deal purchase but eh at least i can get up to level 60 so i'll get the full picture of whether i wanna go full time or naw
Can you time out in a cutscene?
@visual whale wait till you found out that the previous level restriction was level 35
What is the command for the random number generator?
yes
Is it like
"YOu can only be in a cutscene for this long"
Or "If you don't touch it, you get kicked"?
its like if your internet decides you stop
game kicks you
i can afk in cutszenes for a long time
but game does throw you out after a while afk ( i think 30 minutes)
i think its if you dont touch it
Okyoky
as a spezific cutszene takes easily 50 minutes
would be quite annoying getting kicked during it
Totes asking cus i know a Streamer, sprout n all, just... writing lore HARD
So i worried for em :,D
but understood!

for what reason would i be unable to use a piece of gear as glamour? im the right level for it, its for my class, but trying to apply it from a glamour plate isnt working. theres a red cross in the bottom left of its image
is the item you are trying to apply it to lower level
I cant remember if that was one of the restrictions
yes
The glamour item has to be equal or lower level than the target item
I know there hasnt been mach information on cross data center stuff, but anychance they said anything about cross datacenter linkshells?
level and class
there are a few things my paladin can wear, but my GNB cant
so im sure there is stuff like that for other classes
If i want CE to spawn within specific zone in Zadnor, i just kill magitek units in that zone?

Is there any use to fighting world mobs in bojza except for clusters ?
Time to get killing then, thanks.
oop, seems I got the answer to my question
The same rules apply in bojza but no one cared to figure out which spawns which
spawns skirmishes I suppose
hey is it possible to get a direct tp to miner place ?
No...gotta go to uldah then use the aetheryte to port to the miners guild
ok 😦
Provided you attuned to the shard near the guild
What are the conditions to have access to the bojzan coins vendor ?
Clear castrum and turn in its quest

It's the resistance supplier yes ?
In bojza yes
What is the difference between a pure healer and barrier healer?
I guess the other suppliers unlock later
Recommendation for a healer job to start? Just DPS to this point.
thanks
White mage is the simplest healer
Ok cool
what does the cross on the top right mean again?
!faq dyeicons
hey guys 🙂 that means that this fate is not up right now right?
white mage is also literally the only healer you can start as
have you tried actually interacting it? some fates require manually starting
thanks
nvm it shows up after i ask that XDD
if i bought the game on windows, do i need to buy it again for mac? ;-;
guys is he special minion?
It’s from an achievement fate, but no not really
!faq benchmark
download and run this
ive just hit 60 half way through Heavensward (Steam) and its now not allowing me to level up. Is this because I have the starter edition or I need to continue with my class quests? Please help 
oh okay, so i guess stop questing until I get it?
Or swap jobs
do i need to buy starter edition and shadowbringers to play shadowbringers or do i just need to purchase shadowbringers
!faq buy
Yes
is there an faq channel in this server?
thanks
Or check kupo's github
Are skybuilders scrips just for mounts/minion rewards?
And firmament turn ins aren’t going away when EW comes out?
i put on some glamour with the dresser. Do i have to go back to the dresser to undo it?
i can't find any levequests and none of the levemetes have any
i get responses like this
How often does Lich world open for new player in the light sever
have you actually unlocked the ability to do levequests via the msq
i'm lvl 80
right, then go to your starting city's adventurers' guild and find the quest called Leves of xyz
that will unlock leves in general
!faq worldlock
uuh
past that you need to unlock leves on a by location basis
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
that one
Does it take long

could be closed for anywhere from a couple minutes to several hours, it's completely dynamic
EU should be calming down now so shouldn't take long
hey - i have a big problem... i just reinstalled my windows and now i cannot login anymore - right after clicking play in the launcher i get an "Error with Finalfantasy 16a" ... nothing else
OK I was going to the wrong adventure guild the whole time, thanks
Thanks for telling me
How long does it take more or lets to get full set of eureka armor ?
Fully upgraded, glowy version
Can you see only the debuf you can cure as a healer?
I did it in about a week but it was 10 hours a day grinding.
Its something you should make sure you know what you're getting into.
I'm on free trial which ends at level 60, does it end when any of my jobs reaches said level? Or does it count every job level combined?
Is there a quick way to swap glamour plates between chars?
Im done with everything else till EW do might as well
You can do everything up until stormblood starts
If you got nothing else to do by all means jump in just be prepared for a commitment.
thanks! I'm gonna try all the jobs then ^^
Between different characters? No.
Is it as tedious as grinding resistance weapons or worse ?
I cant make that resemblance as I did not grind those weapons. Its on par of doing your relic weapon questline for the first time.
||Can new players see the towers?||
only if they're at the appropriate msq
The menphina earrings come with the 40 dollar preorder, right?
yes, all pre-orders of endwalker gives you menphina's earring
I see, thanks 
It requires time, patience, I do not recommend it solo but thankfully Eureka is its own pocket dimension community so there is always people to team up with for the most part. Logos was a pain in the a** and can get expensive if you decide to buy your way through.
How expensive are we talking?
Im a glutton for punishment and did the Eureka grind while doing my Heavensward relic at the same time lol XD
Im on Gilgamesh and it cost me about 700k gil for all 52 Logos.
i don't understand i only have 5 i need 15 it's been 1h i'm on it ! how do i gather them ?
guys help 😄 i looks stupid ... 😄 will i geht to body with a quest or do i have to get it by myself? 😄 ( dragoon)
is there a way to save all my plates to a website or somethign I can look at without have to swap chars?
700 k is somewhat pocket money so that's cool with me :D
At lvl 50 you’ll get the body piece
thanks god
I don’t know of any that do specifically that. :/
Im constantly broke so that was a huge investment for me 😦
I'm doing mostly roulettes and I'm at nearly 20 m after 2 months of playing, I flip tomestone stuff for profit as well so easy 200 k+ per day with doing just daily stuff, no crafting
Tomestone for profit?
Heavensward relics were over 20k poetics each and I did paladin and white mage. lol
Ye, the white ones, you get about 2 k of those daily, you get crafting stuff and sell it on marketboard
Then I use poetics to get ilvl400 earrings, exchange it for seals and get whatever sells on MB, usually just glamour prisms as they always sell
What VPNs on the cheaper side do people recommend for FF? I'm using Exitlag currently, but my mom is considering playing and I'm considering options for her
Altogether about 200 k ish per day, but I'm also getting adventurer in need bonus as I play tanks exclusively
Makes sense!
what section is addle under in fflogs
So I heard in endwalker that they're gutting sects for AST, that true?
Well that'll make the job quests awkward.

As Astro is becoming more of a pure healer
They'll change the job quests to be appropriate
They have already
Ah
Ie: npcs say they forgot.a spell they were gonna teach you
When it was meant to give you one
what's the command to find levequests
And MCH got a quest change to use Gauss round instead of Hot shot when it got reworked
They'll make it make sense
Honestly they probably could have just changed the sects a bit to work with a pure healer, but I guess removing them works
if you want an example of job quests becoming awkward, spare a thought for summoner...
Not thar you were basically always in diurnal anyway
yeah, considering nocturnal is mathematically worse and basically exclusively used when necessary
Speaking of maths: does anyone know how the Triple Triad weekly tournaments tally scores?
I thought I know the rules, but someone appears to have an impossible score. >: ?
are all the levequests from trials of the braves in the Twin Adder Leves?
Does it matter if you damage dawon and saunion evenly, or can you focus one down?
well, iirc, they give hp to one another
Yeah basically sharing hp
If you’re a caster, you should focus Saunion since he’s a mech
I'm being told in game they heal more than they lose, is that true?
And takes more damage from magic
They dont
No, they just keep splitting their HP between each other when one dips too low
No actual healing happens
Ah, that's what I thought, thanks!
Q: my pugilist retainer is level 60,...I wanna give them my gear,..but they are not a 'monk'. how do I upgrade them? Do I need those 'Modern Vocation' manuals? costing 40 ventures
Yes
ty
what level or ilevel do retainers have to be to bring back expensive dyes?
It always felt more like a sliding scale of it increasing the rate as you get better stats until the cap
Since when SHB came out and raised the ilvl/stats needed for max efficiency, I was still able to get the dyes while leveling up
Also it goes without saying that trying to test quick ventures and the odds of getting something is basically a fool’s errand
Due to the MASSIVE size of the loot pool it has
How do you get the uhh, how do you call it, your equipment rating on the Loadout names?
the average item level?
Whenever I rename it but keep the *(number) it doesn’t readjust to changes like it normally does
Yeah
If you renamed it, you might need to delete and remake the gearset.
Or see if deleting the name entirely and accepting it puts it back to default
Renaming gets rid of it
Hmm that’s kinda lame, dang
I guess it makes sense once you start getting to new digits and it’d overflow the character limit I suppose
I have a question. Keep in mind i've been healing for a long time in ffxiv. This person told me I could see who the other person is healing by clicking on them. It will show up in pink. But everytime I try to raise someone to try this out I don't see it. Where would i see this feature at? Is there something I need turned on to see this feature?
Okay I cant log in, it keeps giving me a discord 404 error and I cant find anything online
same im having that 404 issue right now
that's a feature coming with endwalker
so its not a feature now right? Like there is no way to know who the other healer is raising without me knowing
unless you have them as your current target, no
@thorny urchin
I asked in another place and they said its discord overlay, disable and re-enable it to fix
ye saw at #general-discussion ty btw
@twilit archfor instnace it will say raising. Nothing else right? it won't say their name
(Ye sorry for ping)
sorry just want to make sure
if you have the other healer targeted you will see who their target is while they are casting raise
You can turn on target of target, and if the other healer is targeting who they're raising you can see it that way
Actually I think target of target is on by default
As I'm about to hit 80 with a crafter for the first time, is it worth crafting what I can for the Aesthete's set, then saving up white scrips for handscrips set as I go? I don't see a more efficient way even tho it looks expensive
at this point, i would just recommend going for handsaint
unless you can find aesthete for cheap
Is it possible to grind white scrips on non-80 gear?
I assumed I'd have to get some sort
You’re in a solo instance for the first bit of the game
I just reached Ishgard lol.
the custom deliveries are usually fairly easy ish to craft
It's been pretty empty my whole journey so far
and can always trial synth the lv 80 white scrip turn in for whatever is cheapest/easiest for you to get the mats for to double check you can craft it
hmm i guess ill jsut level to 70 then with retainers
Oh awesome I'll give that a go then, the mb looked a ripoff when I was checking for prices. Ty for the advice!
definitely possible, that's how I did it. Had level 71 vendor gear with whatever crappy melds I could manage
What I would recommend is going to the Teamcraft crafting stimulator, plug in your stats (craftsmanship, control, and CP) and play around with it until you can get a decent result for the level 80 collectible for your class
Then you can have that create an in-game macro that you can use while actually crafting
That's a relief, my low 70 gear has manage fine for levelling to 80 so I was like oh no is it going to be suddenly a gil-dump to get my gear right. I'll try teamcraft too to see how it stands up, thank you!
Would 15 Syrcus be faster than waiting an hour between CLLs cause every instance refuses to do skirmishes and CEs?
Syrcus takes about 10-15 minutes so, no
Best idea imo would be to queue for Syrcus between jumping into Bozja and checking on CLL timer

CLL gives 5 memories so you only need to do it 3 times, so even getting into one run would cut 5 Syrcuses off
Been looking for a decent timer for the whole week so I guess my rng is shit
can I see my total play time somewhere else than steam?
How does CE spawning in zadnor work? Does killing magitek unit have chance to spawn one, or do you have to kill specific number of them?
You have to kill enemies that have the iv legion tag
Best way to do it is have the offtank run around the FATE and drag every single enemy into it
Aether DC has a discord specifically for Bozja/Eureka so I'm sure there's one for the other DCs too
what's aether dc?
There's also the Eurekan Explorers discord but I don't seem to have a working link for it
Whoops nevermind here we go
Some people in #general-discussion were saying it's related to Discord overlay
do we know what gear set Reaper is going to use?
maiming
Maiming
Thank you
Shared with drg
Why is zone 2 of Zadnor pretty much dead compared to other two zones?
Is whm a fairly easy healer to pick up and get decent with? Wanna work on getting a healer to 80 and prep up some good gear for sage
How did you manage to fix it? I have the same problem with that Discord overlay.
disable everything discord overlay related
worstcase scenario shutdown discord entirely
Yep
Cool, ty. I at least wanna have a better understanding of the healer role before sage comes out too
Well sage will be a shield healer
It worked. Thank you.
WHM is a regen healer
hi peeps, I just came back after a long while (mid 2019 I stopped) and my hotbar for level 39 paladin is a huge mess, not really sure what to do (PS5)
White mage is a DPS. Fear the blood lily!
is it gathering or perception the best to get HQ ?
Perception
Gathering affects chance to get the item, perception is chance to get HQ
(at least for now)
How many resistance weapon items you get from instances?
No
@paper raptor Clarify?
It's just a grind
theres a lot of items so
does anybody have like an example bar or something
you gotta be specific
Oh I know that, I just want to get the basics down, like proper cooldown usage and whatnot, I'm going to be leveling sage primarily with trusts or in the roulettes so I can understand it more before I say that I'm going to hop in endgame stuff with it
how long should it take me to get to the baldesion arsenal
30 item stacks. Stuff you get from CE's too.
If i want to buy in game stuffs (outfits, mounts), do I need to pay sub ? Im playing the free trial on Steam rn, ty
I mean I’d recommend Scholar then
Yes you need to sub.
Thank you

I don't even know what most of these things do anymore
I'm level 30 and did the level 30 lancer quest. How do I do the drg quest? The lancer guild master doesnt have a quest for me
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

can anybody help me here?
I'm starting to doubt
what's the question
We have #protips-and-ui for hotbar suggestions
alright, i'll repost it there
Also if you're confused about what your stuff does
Read it
Go into the actions and traits menu and read all of them
The descriptions are there for a reason
what hairstyle is this?
It's from the Wolves' Den, I forgot the name immediately
You get it with wolf marks from pvp
riip
It's easy to get honestly
Just do Frontline roulette daily
Like 6 or 7 times should be enough
I'm a free trial player though 😅
So? You can still do Frontline roulette can't you?
no
nope
Oh oof
trial can't do pvp at all
So outta curiosity... Saint's wake comes back in a month or two. Should I wait and see if the saint's wake items are earnable in game, or should I assume that if that stuff is on the mog station, it's probably there indefinitely...?
Mog station stuff stays there
Don't hold your breath on getting old items if you missed them
Gotcha 👍
why his name is orange ?
He's on your friend list
If I have two shb relics, one at last step and one at the 515 step, do I get both item drops from delubrum at the same time?
is your character supposed to do a victory emote at the end of a duty? Cuz mine always stands there doing nothing ._.
ok cool, figured I'd run the 5 delubrums and then only have to get 5 more for blade
Hey, is there some sort of Blue Mage spell-learning guide? Like, I dunno, an outline of exactly which spells I can get at what levels?
in cutscenes, it depends on which one. some are more serious and a victory emote owuldn't be appropriate
!faq bluguide
some of these are outdated but should be usable still
though i personally learn as needed to do masked carnivale
guys uh
some quest said i needed "Lvl 15 on ALL classes i had" to advance but uh , those are just fighting classes right
not say , blacksmith and stuff
im just gonna go 1 class now bc lazy lmao
there’s no such quest
What quest are you looking at?
the uh
cant remember name , it was at the lancers city
Uldahn envoy or something
idk
oh a friend said only one class k
Does anyone know what happens if you switch classes on a retainer? Like, do they remain the same level or do they become level 1? If switch them back do they stay the level that they were before?
level 1
Do they go back to level one if I switch them back to the class they were before?
ive been having this pop up everytime i open up the game any ideas how to fix it?
yes
Turn off your discord overlay
Omg why do retainers suuuuuck
Retainers are literally self sustaining
The crap they gather on quick exploration is usually worth more than the 2 ventures it costs for a GC turnin
how do i get ehll tou mount?
do ehll tou's custom deliveries
how many total deliveries does it take to max?
Yes
where can i check my progress so far with deliveries?
like reputation level or whatever
but for deliveries
Timers menu
One more week 
Yep
nice
thanks
unrelated, but is it possible to get the armor coffers from class quests again if i lost/got rid of the armor?
And, just to confirm, the fastest way to level as a Blue Mage is literally just to kill random stuff at your level?
get a lvl 80 to run around and kill stuff with you
highest level they can easily handle
you tag them with flying sardines and then they kill
I'm solo.
ah
what level?
might have to join a few hunt trains to get them back
just random ones like lvl 60 drk
yeah, you can get them back from the hunt NPC in forgotten knight
cost centurio seals

any pvpers here, hows red mage in pvp? i might learn it more since i think i like how it plays in frontline
Is there any reason to play Blue Mage? Is there any particular content I should be doing as BLU?
there are a few achievements for doing certain duties as BLU
iirc doing a4s, a8s and a12s as a team of BLU is one of them
it's largely side content, but it's a fun way to do old content in a new way
melee is usually more powerful in frontline. mage and phy ranged prefer to help team control
blue is side content, it has its own mount and general method of progression
it also has its own major features like the carnival
Whats the emote where as a DRK you pose with the sword facing down?
do you gain mettle levels pretty fast nowadays?
via zadnor yes
what about feast?
hm I have never played feast👀
actually is there a popular discord for pvp?
@graceful sail female /cpose with weapon drawn
#archived-player-vs-player in the pins
is there a trick to the BLM quest lvl 60? The first one in SB, where you fight ||Shattoto||? It is waaaaay harder than everything before....
Are you using appropriate gear, that’s step 1
when is feast generally active anyways? been in queue for like 20 minutes now
well active on primal
there is a massive gear gap between expansion, if you arent using shire gear when your 60
you're probably going to have a real rough time
its a level 60 quest
Yes, but it’s balanced around having i250-270 gear
sure, but full shire gear should handle it right
Yes
since its 270
i think the problem might be the lvl 34 staff tho lmao I didnt notice that

Ah yes I too heal a lv 51 dungeon as SCH
And be like “Wow SCH is really hard, my heals do barely anything compared to WHM and AST”
After like 4 dungeons, I notice I’m using a lv 4 book

lmao
I forgot to repair my gear back in ARR and went to kill a msq world boss, did no damage and died so fast

in terms of exp given, are castrum and prae the same or is one better than the other through main scenario roulette?
prae has more exp
I just saw a video with a recomendation to configure so u can attack an enemy without seeing him directly, showing the back to the enemy even when attacking him.
That's good only for avoiding some attacks when the eye icon appears , right?
When the eye icon appears I just stop attackin, stop targetting, show the back to the enemy and I don't attack until the enemy attack is done
I have a question, if you have Shadowbringers can you make a Male Viera or is that just for Endwalkers when it comes out like im confused cause I really want a male viera but idk when they'll be out and what they will be on, sorry this got long
that's... a good question actually
no.it will requires ew expansion at that time
God damn it
Weird question, but do you ever get new blue mage arms?
Welp RIP my bank
just like free trial player is unable to make viera;
I have everything up to shadowbringers so now I have to buy another one when it comes out ow
wish endwalker have a bunch of system improvement
Should I spend 2.5 mil on bojan haste gear?
what are you aiming for? achieve lower sks/sps possible? o.O
not the place
@cloudy#5916 no self-promotion outside of #109114589341306880
oh they're gone lmao
But wouldn't it let me clear and kill faster on my paladin in DR/Dalrida/Castrum?
nah just use pure essence and lost action, fam
Sure, but I really only recommend it for if you want to do the harder parts of bozja
Like duels and DR savage
Do you recommend to disable the option to Automatically face target when using action?
Get to 1k and then buy two of the augments, then Gil-buy the other 3?
It was more of a thing in ARR when most gazes weren’t decided by the cast bar
And having to wait for the actual animation to finish
I recommend disabling lock on.
Basically all gazes in the expansions just need you to look away right before the cast finishes
I wait until gaze attacks finish, looking away and no attacking for some seconds, I suppose I'm doing it wrong then?
If the cast says you dodged it, you’re free to turn back around
But yeah, going by the cast bar works for most gazes
Yeah, that's when I look back. I just saw a video made from Xenosys when he explains for like 10 minutes a lot of stuff for doing that, but he's in kb+mo, I use PS4 controller, (and maybe he told anything else that I don't understand because I don't use kb+mo)
So I supposed there are some things worth to change in config to play better, still I don't know exactly what because he explained everything using kb+mo
I have that disabled all the time
Depends on the job/role, each one has slightly different scaling
But for my WHM using full augmented Bozjan with the earring, I go from 2.41 to like 2.21?
I’d have to double check
Does it mess up weaving?
How do you join the novice network
Is it possible to wear the same outfit (one of each piece) as glamour on all jobs if the outfit is equip-able on all jobs? Or would I need multiple pieces, one for each set? I haven't messed with glamour much so I was wondering
Alright
yup
So I can equip the Lucian clothes on all my gear sets if I want?
yeah just put it in your glamour chest and make it a glamour plate
Alright, thanks 👍
I got all the horse mounts but a legend for a legend quest isn't showing up at the minstrel
are you sure you have all of them
doing this doesn't let me keep attacking enemies even when receiving gaze attacks? Just showing my back to the enemies all the time and ignoring gaze attacks
I'm absolutely sure
Well it's not. :/
you talked to him and it didn't show up in the quest list?
He doesn't have a quest list
He just talks about discovering me as the warrior of light
And how great and prophetic it is
did you use all the horns to actually unlock the mounts?
You got all 6 besides Nightmare?
Wait does navel drop 2?
nightmare is a special one that drops from ifrit, titan or garuda
in addition to the normal one
Oh. Ohhhhhhh.
yeah there you go
Thank you.
How does agro work
Tank presses the “attack me” button, and they hit enemies, making them angry
Tank stance gives the tank a 10x aggro multiplier to all their skills
Including damage and healing
And if the tank dies, the enemy go after the next person on the aggro chart
Oh ok thanks alot
Hmm... I've reached Level 80 on DRK.
I'm wondering if I should put off doing the main story until I've leveled up another class to avoid wasting the MSQ EXP.
that's really up to you
exp wise it's worth it but it's up to you if you wanna spend the time
@queen fern I would recommend at least finishing 5.0 before you start leveling another class, but it is better EXP wise
Well, DRK is actually the second class I've got to 80.
DRG was the first.
I was mainly playing DRK because, well, Shadowbringers.
Hi could someone explain the costume system to me a bit? I'm very new to the game and bought a costume online. How do I put this on, can I only apply it to one piece of gear or can I take it off and on all I want?
so
how do I log into the game? xd
I changed my password, typed in the password and it says incorrect
done this 3 times now and always double checked the password
thank you 🙂
anyone know where to get level 20/level 30 crafting gear?
buy it from vendors, or craft it
marketboard
is it cheap on mb?
probably not
cheaper from vendors?
which vendors should i go to? is it the script guys
or are there basic ones
mb versions are more likely to be hq but you're so low level it doesn't matter much
the normal vendors
What would be the easiest tank to start with? I have all of them but the amount of stuff slapped into your face with GNB and DRK is daunting
for some reason i have 50+ crafting gear but i didnt level some of my crafting classes and now i gotta go back and go to level 20 gear lmao
oh normal vendors sweet i can just get them from limsa then
all the tanks are pretty straight forward, but GLD/PLD and MRD/WAR start at level 1 if you don't want to get overwhelmed
so that would be...gladiator and marauder?
yup
ah ok
sword and board or big axe take your pick
imo WAR is the easiest by far
I also think it's the funniest
Anything easy would be great cause I have extreme anxiety with any role that isn't dps
tanking as a whole is pretty simple
turn your stance on
grab all the enemies
use your mitigation
that's basically it

What about like bosses and stuff, don't you need to know every single tankbuster and move so you can position them properly for the dps positionals?
you position for positionals by turning the boss around and not moving
Tankbusters don't get introduced for a long time, like level 68+
And generally you plant your feet and stand still
oh
Bosses are actually the easiest part of tanking dungeons
And the way the game is designed you don't need to know every minute detail about normal content in order to succeed
Generally, sure, but you can just tell your group "hey I'm not super comfortable pulling wall to wall"
People are generally accommodating

Also, dungeons after ARR are designed so that "wall to wall" is often just a double pull
I see...
It can be intimidating, tanxiety is a real thing. Take it at your own pace and communicate with your group, don't worry about what people at endgame are expected to do
Paladin is what you should start with

Also pre-pull Divine Veil into Clemency is helpful.

A brisk guide on tanking endgame dungeons and doing Big Pulls in FFXIV.
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.2~5.3
What's inside:
🛡 A Speedy Overview of a Tank's Goals/Responsibilities in a dungeon setting
✅ How you help the other roles
⭐️ Why you should do Big Pulls + How to do them!
Check out the follow-up after this one: https://youtu.be/IcvZ7N...
If your only playing paladin that's all you really need, that and the big pulls video explains all you really need to know.
The only thing is since you don't play "healer" you won't really know when it's your fault or their fault.
I've never played healer either for the same reasons
Q: Astrologian;
Card--
Increases Damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% is target is melee DPS or Tank or 3% for all other roles.
Why are there 3 cards for this and 3 for ranged/healer?!
Just give me Two ,...lol.
What am I missing that is not on the tooltip?
dev simplified the ast
I see,.thanks. so it's not just fluff to make you 'complex' ;p
they change or something, I guess
Basically each card has a small icon on it
And you want to collect one of each type of icon to power up your big damage buff
ohh,..
The same thing applies for healing. Just like two videos you should watch and your golden.
Which is why redraw is an ability you'll get at 40
Yeah but healing gives me even more anxiety cause I'm dumb and seem to make them panic sometimes as a dps, let alone a tank
You just need confidence.
If I could play RDM without being a bot then I'd have some confidence yeah
Are you new to the game, or just trying to break into one of the two roles.
does this explain it 
Just trying to wrap my head around samurai is tough enough, but I think i have a basic understand of it at lvl 50 before positionals and stuff later
most groups are cool. I literally le tthe tank die in Haukke Manor because I got line of sighted by a stupid cabinet in the second room. They pointed it out,..was cool and we finished without incident.
Honestly, the best way to get into tanking or healing is just to do it. It's not going to get any easier on its own. Low level dungeons and guildhests are extremely forgiving.
For example, as AST you can get through the entirety of Sastasha without casting a single healing GCD
oh,..I found it's good to run your Squadron Missions to, just to get familiar with dungeons. No pressure.,.your own pace. etc
Command missions, rather
What I would do is focus on getting comfortable at a low level first. Don't worry about what people are doing or expecting at level 80 when you're level 16.
I completely forgot those existed. My squadron's had a mission completed for like a week
Nobody starts out as a tank pulling wall to wall, and nobody starts out as a healer out DPSing the DPS.
Learning takes time
Healers out dps the dps...?
While leveling in certain situations? Absolutely possible
oh, like dragoon being complete shit in dungeons until you unlock the 2nd aoe spear
Am I missing anything here that is required for my rotation?
Among others yeah, but the point is don't worry about high level stuff yet. Learn your toolkit one ability at a time and you'll develop reflexes and instincts that will make higher level content much easier
aight
Normally if I start a new class that isn't level 1, I'll remove all the hotbar skills and place them one by one as I read them
Then go punch a training dummy until the keybinds feel decent and then go into a dungeon or FATEs
Well I am level 80 right now and only have one ability that is isn't unlocked

As a healer, the main thing to remember is that your job isn't to keep everyone at 100% HP
Maybe class quest?
So I just did a lvl 70 instanced dungeon, but I did not get completion in WT For it. Whats up with that?
Silly question, but is "level 70 dungeon" one of your objectives in WT?
yes
and I did the cup runneth over with fire/ice one
oh wait I was lvl 70, the dungeon probably wasnt...
no its a dungeon lol
Are you not referring to Zurvan?
ya the one with magma roader
which is level 69
Ah, that's a level 69 dungeon
iirc
figured, thanks 🙂
Yeah it just syncs from 70
Whats the fastest way to level up 30 with 1 lvl 80 friend? just kill high level mobs?
Only for BLU
i just wanna reach level 30 for bard
yeah do Potd
if you're in a party with someone too high level, you won't get exp for their kills
also world mobs in general are trash for exp
You can meet someone in azys lla and just hang out around them until like 20ish, then do potd/dungeons
so potd fastest way then?
At what point should I worry about high level stuff? Do you mean that I should not worry about certain skills until I make it to level 80 dungeons
This wasn't a reply to you
i can enter from level 1? potd
yep
oh lol
Is this your first class that you're leveling?
Because if so, you should really just do the story quests
There's literally no point to leveling up fast if you're behind on MSQ
generally speaking, you should have all your job stuff on your bar regardless, not just your core rotation
there's like 1, maybe 2 examples of skills that aren't worthwhile I can think of
Undraw and Fluid Aura are the only two that come to mind, personally
All the others even Scathe have some kind of situational usefulness
i have already max 3 chars, buts its from latest expansion
so i didnt go to 1-30
@primal gull
Fair enough, just wanted to make sure so you don't get to 30 and then are not able to unlock the job because you haven't progressed far enough in MSQ
so POTD then?
yep
like how many runs will it take? i just wanna perform at limsa XD
A lot
yes i have floor 51
How to get i530?
I don't keep certain skills., like that stun ability, since almost all creatures are stun resistant
Augment Cryptlurker gear from doing the yorha raids or eden promise savage
damn,, this the sacrifice i make just to perform at limsa
Is cryptlurker better than exarch?
significantly
Sounds challenging 😦
Cryptlurker just takes a while cause revelations are capped at 900 a week
Mostly just time consuming
and the nier raids are a slog
savage is challenging though if you've never done it
Yes, true
Savage is challenging even if you've done it a few times
augmented cryptlurker is the time consuming one 😉
Yeah, if you want cheap 520, go get exarchic
can get the whole set of armor (ignore accessories tbh) for around 400k if you market hop
Also, iirc augmented cryptlurker should be buyable with poetics in EW
So if you want you can just wait for Endwalker and spend a few thousand poetics to get to 530
Yeah I'll wait for poetics haha
So I'm level 30 arcanist and I've finished slyph-management.. how the heck do I unlock summoner? Thubyrgeim has nothing for me..
top left of the screen, under your MSQ quest
there should be a second quest name under it
!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.
Oooooh I'll check that out. Tysm, I know that's probably an annoying question 
Is cover a useless PLD ability? I can't think of any time where I would use this effectively
It's fairly situational
But it's good to keep it on your bar (unlike shield bash imo)
Because when it works, it works great.
ok
yep that was totally what my issue was, I've only been doing the MSQ for like 2 hours wondering why it wasn't popping up 
i'm confused. How do I select other squadron members? It just keeps defaulting to the first 4 members and I can't swap anyone in when I'm looking at the full squad.
Remove one, then add the other
That worked. TY
Can I not send out two squads at once? I'm just always going to have 4 squad members kicking their heels?
Or command missions
Don't think I have those available
quick question, is hoh leveling always 21-30? or do people go beyond these floors?

21-30 yeah
aight thanks
What do y'all do to make PotD bearable, since I want to get most of my classes to 80 before EW but it's very boring after awhile
que for dungeons
fuck potd
Agreed
what is a stronghold?
Will the role quests we have now still be available in endwalker?
Yes EW will still do role quests
And ranged physical will have their own separate one
should I use refrsh until i have 3 line for the wonderous tail ?
hunt trains and expert
i currently have 2 line
you can only refreshw when you have 7
im leveling a 2nd class (tank) and its level 76 trying to get to 80, besides the leveling roulette is there any other roulettes i shuold be doing for fat xp?
so you can't get 3
i have nine sticker already
frontline, alliance, msq
Too late to shuffle then
i have 2 bingo line, should I refresh for 3 ?
you can't
Can’t shuffle at 8 or 9 stickers placed
You’re done with the WT book at 9 stickers
how to u obtain/buy/sell magicites?
For eureka? They’re from the story there
You can’t buy/sell them
The story gives 5, and two side quests in Pyros/Hydatos have 2 more for trading in rare fate drops
when's the custom delivery bonus changes? :/
is it not possible to wait for them to change before next reset?
The bonuses change on a weekly basis
I wouldn't bother trying to do the bonuses anyway unless you're not looking to level/scrip gather but 12 turnins a week
ah ok ty ty
ehhh the bonus are nice
I guess I'll just do charlemand
and just random others
What's it mean when it says a reward is claimed for an achievement?
It’s claimed, meaning you have it
But what is this reward? I literally just finished those quests.
it's a title
Ah
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Sadly there's no way to easily sort them or search for one you want, so just scroll til you find one that you think is cool
Can you do WT on another class and when done with the book for the week turn it in for another class for the EXP?
yes
Gotcha thanks
What's this message during fishing mean again? I feel like I'm supposed to perform some sort of action...
You sense something deep beneath the magma...

It's fishing intuition I think. Happened during ocean fishing right?
Well no... It said magma XD
Oh
I know I get those messages sometimes on the endeavor but it should be related to some kinda special fish
maybe you should try fishing there anyway
magma in the game is really just water, on a coding level lol
iirc that just means your lv is high enough so you can fish there
if your lv isnt high enough you sense sth but arent sure
It's associated with !!! fish.
do you get 12 leves per day or 6
Should be 6 every 12 irl hours
ty
is it a good idea to buy ShB riding maps before i unlock flying for the zone? or is there something more important i should save the currency for
100% buy them
You wont get flying for a while and unless you bought the bike, you'll be pretty slow going anywhere
And some of those areas are large between aetherites
ok
I think you need to do 60 fates in each zone anyway to unlock the gemstone trades in crystarium and eulmore anyway
Plus you can buy crafting material otherwise gotten by farming mobs which is...unpleasant
I have at least one space available in each Armoury Chest subplot and I keep getting this
you might need two in rings
What are dark matter clusters used for?
Ahh okay lemme try that
does this buff go away on job switch? i know it goes away on zone out
Should stay on job switch
It worked, thank you~ 🙏
is there a guide or something that says what best item to buy with white craft scripts to sell
what is the best way to spend rested exp?
also does zadnor and bozjan have different exp reward?
if you mean the fastest way, crafting on level stuff eats it incredibly fast
or if you switch to a super low level job and basically fart in a general direction of an enemy, there goes all your rested xp
the 'best' is of course just playing the game and killing mobs as normal
which consumables potions people usually use in raid?
What is the best way to get more Allagan tomestones of Poetics
!faq poetics
Fastest poetic farm is going to be doing your roulettes, then doing aetherochemical plant in heavensward, or crystal tower in ARR if you dont have chem
It only gives one bonus a day though
Chem plant is 200 every 20mins or so cause there's almost always a new player
i can't beat messenger of winds as a dragoon. i've checked rotation guides and i swear i'm doing it right. but noctis dies 'cause i can't kill the thing fast enough. any ideas?
Are you doing the proper timing on the teleport ability he gives you?
That gives a large dps buff
if you're low level, make sure you kit yoruself out in poetics gear
it's a big damage boost
replace that with the poetics spear ASAP
there's a big gap in level cap gear
this is your 'starter 50' weapon
item level 130 level 50 weapons do much mroe damage

i just wanna get the car mount man. i grinded out like 30 msqs to get this far today
i have to do more quests to get that spear?
where do i get it?
look at daily roulette rewards
Lvl 50 sync means your IL can be the max a lvl 50 item can be
Your spear is half of that
yeah but why sync it down to level 50 if a character at level 50 doesn't even have access to those weapons
they do
augmented ironworks gear is gear for level 50 characters
and it's item level 130
Chaos, have you finished ARR?
idek what arr is
you have to finish ARR to get access to that quest
the first msq? i finished ultimate weapon if that's what you mean
Then go to Mor Dhona and talk to the tomestone vendor direct north of the town
yeah that's that
They sell poetic gear
Your first step should be looking at that, then farming enough poetics to at least buy the weapon, chestpiece and legs (in that order)
just make sure you're getting the item level 130 gear, they also sell lower level gear
Yes, only buy the augmented ironworks maiming gear
so what do i need to do to get this vendor/npc?
https://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/shop/60fdc8aa00c/
How do I get more Unidentified Magitek Pieces?
May be easier to go to one of the starting towns with the sundries vendor cause it's easier to navigate
do the event fate a bunch more times
yes it's only that one
Ahh ok thank youuss
would really like to buy those 😄
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/efe8d8c2e63/
@heavy oraclehttps://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Kojin_Daily_Quests
so i need a specific rank? or just the tokens and thats it
it says it in the link page im p sure
i went to auriana and she's not selling weapons? where do i get weapons
Aelina
@grand coyote if you still have poetics after buying the weapon, buy the most expensive armor parts you can see (body and pants), those will get you a big boost too
I was wondering if anyone had a spreadsheet or checklist I can actually check off for my dailies/weeklies (beast tribe, cactpot, roulettes, etc) so I can more easily keep track of it?
Thank you!
hey guys will the content in southern bozjan front be expanded in endwalker?
unlikely
bozja is shadowbringers content, I can't see them touching it afterwards except for qol updates
i ask because its really grindy i dont mind it but might want to do another stuff instead
there'll probably be something else to do in EW
i finally beat it. there was a weird glitch where i used the blink strike to get away from the vacuum attack and it just kept vacuuming me back in. but i beat it. thanks for the tip on buying the ilevel 130 weapon.
We're supposed to be able to explore garlemald so maybe zadnor is a staging point for that?
Gotta go save Fran
cool. it's not a glitch though i believe you just need to keep spamming the pillar to stay at that spot
Youre supposed to just time it iirc
easy to just spam
Im a greeder on easy quest bosses lol
