[regal pawn]

there's a mix of those

and that results in best in slot

[hasty musk]

^

[leaden granite]

ah okay

first time i hear relic weapon

[hasty musk]

There are specific cryptlurker gear pieces you'll want depending on job

[regal pawn]

Generally speaking you would farm cryptlurker for the slots you need for BiS
Get augmented exarchic for other slots
and do savage for the rest you need

[hasty musk]

relic weapon is nice to have but unnecessary

you can get it if you really really want it

[leaden granite]

yea i kinda enjoy min/maxing, im just a bit lost atm and wanna set up a roadmap, so to speak

i dont have a problem with it being grindy

[hasty musk]

are you in the balance discord

[leaden granite]

no, the only ffxiv related DC im in is this one

[hasty musk]

https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv

The Balance is where most optimization info for the game is compiled

[leaden granite]

oh cool, thats super nice. thank you

[hasty musk]

rotations, gear, etc

check the resources channel for your job and see what you need

[leaden granite]

gonna dig into that, ty again

is there other generic stuff i should start to set up? i havent dipped into venture stuff at all yet, same with crafting/gathering

[hasty musk]

crafting and gathering is nice if you want to be able to make your own stuff and make money on the side

but you don't have to

[leaden granite]

yea definitely, in the long run

[tacit crypt]

Does road to 70 just end when any combat/crafter/gatherer job hits 70 or does it always last the 90 days after character creation/server loses preferred status?

[leaden granite]

i dont see myself quitting this game anytime soon, having tons of fun. just a bit overwhelmed and i dont wanna end up in a couple of weeks "forgetting" something vital i might need later

[faint flare]

It doesn't end

[hasty musk]

it lasts 90 days or whenever preferred goes away, whichever is longer

[desert comet]

Hello! Im currently in coerthas western highlands, and I cant seem to find the aether currents, nor does the travel option allow me to click on it. What do I need to do?

[hasty musk]

have you gotten the compass yet

[tacit crypt]

Oh so I can level a job past 70, and then it just no longer has the buff applied to it, but all others below 70 still do?

[desert comet]

Where do i get this compass? Like, i can fly in other maps Ive been in, but not this one yet.

[boreal storm]

Msq

[hasty musk]

you get it as a key item for the msq

[boreal storm]

ARR flight is free, you gotta work for the rest

[desert comet]

Oh. So I just need to do msq until I get it?

[hasty musk]

basically

then when you do get it, you just use it and it'll tell you where the nearest aether current is

[desert comet]

Ohh

[desert comet]

Oh okay. Thank you so much!

[river vortex]

id pld hard to play? The rotation doesnt seem too crazy, but the amount of utility means i probbly have to keep on the lookout for party members in trouble right?

[hasty musk]

all tanks are relatively simple to play

[sharp forge]

anyone know what this group of like 8 summoners all doing the same thing then suddenly going poof at the same time was about. I'm assuming bots but no clue what they are up too lol

[hasty musk]

and yes, it's your job to help mitigate the party when appropriate, but that in and of itself isn't hard t0 do

[sharp forge]

what can they possibly want with like a fate lol

[pure zenith]

they could be grinding the crystals for the fate vendors

[hasty musk]

also to be clear, ideally you should never be using clemency to heal yourself or other people

[sharp forge]

besides for riding maps do the gem traders even sell anything good?

[raven bolt]

how much more engaging is pally compared to warrior?

[leaden granite]

Okay so, after looking up some stuff my "roadmap" for now would be: Get Cryptlurker gear + augment it. Starting to farm for the Relic Weapon. Starting to learn Crafting Jobs (maybe Gathering Jobs aswell?)

Im still not sure how ventures function, is it worth looking into that? Ive seen it being mentioned a couple of times.

[hasty musk]

ventures are basically just sending your retainers out to get random shit

sometimes it's good

sometimes it's not

[leaden granite]

would u say its looking into it? idk how valuable that stuff would be later

worth*

[hasty musk]

it varies wildly and it's not gonna give you anything super amazing

like, sometimes you get dungeon gear, dyes, housing items, etc

but nothing like "This is the only way to get this and you should be constantly farming for it" good

[sharp forge]

retainer ventures take no time and since you buy the tokens with seals I'd say its worth it. It basically takes no time and worst case scenario you get extra seals from the stuff they bring and best they bring you some jet black dye or something and you make a mil lol

[hasty musk]

a couple sell housing items

[sharp forge]

true

Ive got some worth like 20-30k usually

I've still yet to get a minion though :(

[leaden granite]

Okay, thanks

[hasty musk]

yes

[faint flare]

It's literally free money

Passively

[leaden granite]

I only have a lvl 80 SMN right now, is there a "best class" for ventures?

retainers*

or can i just set em up as SMN and call it a day

[boreal storm]

Combat class, miner, fisher, botanist

Those are the only options

[hasty musk]

you'll usually want one as a combat class and one as a gatherer

[leaden granite]

i assume "combat class" is a summary of all classes outside of tank/heal?

[hasty musk]

including tank and healer

[leaden granite]

ah okay

[boreal storm]

Tanks and healers fight too

[leaden granite]

ah okay so in order to have, for example, a miner retainer i should first get a lvl 80 miner on my own?

[hasty musk]

yup

[leaden granite]

aight

[boreal storm]

Retainers can’t exceed your level so yeah

[strange knoll]

What ventures do you send your retainers on?

[hasty musk]

quick ventures

[sharp forge]

quick

[strange knoll]

All classes benefits more from quick?

I have botanist, miner and monk

[sharp forge]

quick is also the best for leveling them fast if you know you'll be on a while

[hasty musk]

you get the cool stuff from quick ventures

[strange knoll]

They're already all 80, but I've only done 18h ones

I'll do quick ones from now on when I'm not going to sleep/work, thanks

[fathom wasp]

What's up with the people in Quarry Mill?

[sharp forge]

Thats where palace of the dead is

[hasty musk]

PoTD is there

[sharp forge]

a deep dungeon

[strange knoll]

Mostly used for leveling sub 60 classes

[fathom wasp]

Ah nice, I just Googled it, a Quest, The House that Death Built

I think I saw a quest on a beach somewhere that this was a Prerequisite for

[hasty musk]

yup, that's heaven on high

which is similar

[fleet orbit]

Is there any other mirror to download the game?

[sleek needle]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[fleet orbit]

Thanks! I have the steam version tho. Will be okay?

[unborn pier]

so i finished heavensward (not patch quests yet)! whats the best way to gear up for stormblood

[atomic jewel]

I really liked summoner in pso2, whats the closest class to that in ff14

[boreal aurora]

how many seals do you need to turn in wondrous tails

[faint flare]

1 line or 9 seals

Just get the 9 seals everytime

[dawn mountain]

When farming Raw emotion, do I have to be the job i accepted the quest as?

[hasty musk]

no

[hasty musk]

at the risk of sounding sarcastic, have considered you summoner

[atomic jewel]

Yea, I don't like books tho

[hasty musk]

then you're out of luck

the only pet jobs in the game both use books

[unborn pier]

summoner books are cool af wym

[rough fossil]

Question about raid food: Why is Espresso con Panna no longer good? As opposed to Stuffed Highland Cabbage, Smoked Chicken, and Chicken Fettucini?

[unborn pier]

i will not stand for this book slander

[faint flare]

Less stats

[heavy wadi]

this is #questions-and-help

[unborn pier]

correct

[rough fossil]

Ohhhh I was just looking at the flat percentages and totally overlooked the max values. Thanks!

[sleek needle]

Yea I think there's an option on it's patch for steam iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

This bloody rock of rancor quest!!! I keep throwing the firesand stick at the rock, but I keep getting target missed!!

How the hell am i supposed to complete it?? I'm at the point of giving up

Nevermind, turns out I'm just an idiot.

Hello Guys, is it right that main quest is useless if you are 50? i just want to be 60 fast for dancer

[faint flare]

They're mandatory to do

[heavy wadi]

you have to do msq.

[regal pawn]

MSQ is never useless lol

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok then someone told me bullshit hahah

[regal pawn]

It won't help you level at caps (50/60/70) but you're stil required to do it if you want it to give big xp again

Personally
Would recommend to do MSQ until you finish Heavensward

[faint flare]

Your level is literally meaningless

[regal pawn]

so you can have a smooth transition to MSQ with dancer

[faint flare]

Without story progress

[leaden ginkgo]

allright thank you so much

[lost sinew]

if i’ve unlocked zadnor 3rd area am i already at the ideal point in bozja to level a job?

thinking about quitting bozja til endwalker is out and level sage there

[faint flare]

You were there when you got bojza zone 3

[regal pawn]

Leveling a job can be done bozja and zadnor

also

[faint flare]

Zadnor and bojza are indentical xp

[regal pawn]

Dungeons are also a solid alternative do bozja

Especially when Bozja gets you braindead...

[lost sinew]

well i haven’t finished the story quite yet

in zadnor

i’m only rank 22

[leaden granite]

is there a tradeside for items like poe.ninja for PoE? where i can see high value items on the market, stuff that sells etc

[lunar nexus]

Universalis is the closest thing but it relies on data sourced by users, so it’s not guaranteed to be up to date; especially on less popular items

https://universalis.app

[leaden granite]

aight ty

hmm is it possible to search for a list that shows most valuable items? or can i only search for specific items and look the prices up myself?

just as an example, something like https://poe.ninja/challenge/fragments (from path of exile)

[blazing sorrel]

if i wanna do dead raids\trials what should I do? I heard youre supposed to get good gear then do it unsynced but is it truly the only way?

[boreal storm]

You can make a party

[lunar nexus]

I don’t use the site often so I can’t really answer that question, maybe someone else can. As far as I know there aren’t really sorting options like that.

[lost sinew]

party finder

is underrated and the game doesn’t teach you about it

[blazing sorrel]

i was told you had to know the raid\trial to use it

[boreal storm]

No not really

[lost sinew]

yeah many folks will expect you to watch a video, at least

[blazing sorrel]

also certain missions specify duty finder iirc

[lost sinew]

but that’s a quick youtube search away

[regal pawn]

Sadly no
You'll have to scour the site or in-game market yourself

[faint flare]

You still que in with the duty finder

[regal pawn]

But general rule is
If it takes a party and farming
It's probably expensive

[faint flare]

Once full

[blazing sorrel]

so if i wanna do coils i make a party with the "duty completion" tag?

[lost sinew]

if you have a quest to do a particular duty i don’t think it matters how you do it, solo or party finder, or duty finder

[leaden granite]

aight, gotcha @regal pawn

[boreal storm]

Just say you’re a first timer, mention Unsync

[blazing sorrel]

and people will tolerate me watching the scenes

?

[faint flare]

Yes

[lost sinew]

maaaaaybe

[faint flare]

Only assholes don't

[lost sinew]

assholes exist tho

[boreal storm]

Just tell them beforehand

[blazing sorrel]

is watching it on yt a better solution?

[minor fulcrum]

Literally nobody waits for cutscenes in bozja/zadnor lol

[blazing sorrel]

well i think its an arr raid

[lost sinew]

if you are concerned about your ability to perform in a synced difficult (extreme, savage) duty, or even if it’s just your first time and it’s not a regular MSQ dungeon, i would watch a youtube video

[faint flare]

It only need 1 80 to face roll

[primal ermine]

Idk about na, but the 48 raid in zadnor people wait

[minor fulcrum]

I can't vouch for Dal, but it's hearsay from a friend

[faint flare]

Just advertise bonus, unsync and watching cutscenes

In the listing

[blazing sorrel]

i completed all the primals unsyced in extreme if that counts

[leaden granite]

i started playing a bit over a week ago and have watched almost all cutscenes so far, havent had a single complaint yet

[minor fulcrum]

If someone complains they can go back to WoW

[leaden granite]

i mean, even if they complain. what they gonna do

cant make u stop watching the cutscenes D:

[lost sinew]

50 extreme trials are mostly a cakewalk for 80s

[blazing sorrel]

i didnt even know the party finder existed until i finished heavensward ngl

[lost sinew]

try sephirot extreme lol took me like 20 tries on PLD

[blazing sorrel]

well i will do it in time lmao

[boreal storm]

You can’t reliably solo stuff past bismark even if you’re a war/pld

[lost sinew]

ugh bismark

PLD forever

[regal pawn]

you can, funnily enough

[blazing sorrel]

wait so i waited an hour in the duty finder and now i found a party in 10s huh

[regal pawn]

it's just tedious and kinda hard

[lost sinew]

party finder is like that

[blazing sorrel]

well this will make my experience much better thanks!

[lost sinew]

time of day and your server locale has a lot to do with it

[blazing sorrel]

its usually in the late hours right?

like in general

[lost sinew]

after typical work hours things tend to liven up

[minor fulcrum]

it's also a monday

Work week has started for most people

[blazing sorrel]

i dont have an holiday on sundays so i tend to forget that lol

[sharp forge]

Is it worth buying dyes with gold chocobo feathers if I think the mounts look kinda bad tbh

[regal pawn]

yes

[sharp forge]

lmao I want some jet black

[regal pawn]

but only really the black and white ones

as they're 300-400k

[sharp forge]

soot black isnt enough >:(

[regal pawn]

per pot

[sharp forge]

yea jeez

[regal pawn]

aka 1.5-2mil if you want 5

so yes

[manic heath]

how much mettle does castrum give vs delubrum? I'm mettle rank 12 so I'm not sure whether to stay in Southern Front or do CEs in Zadnor or what. My priority is just mettle rank for the Save the Queen story

[sharp forge]

if I dye an item then put it into my glamour dresser. Whenever I reuse that item in a glamour plate it'll come dyed right? Just wanna make sure im not being dumb

[regal pawn]

yes

[faint flare]

Zadnor gives significantly more mettle

[manic heath]

for skirmishes and CEs?

[sharp forge]

thank ya

[faint flare]

Yes

Across the board

[manic heath]

ok guess I'll stay there then

[final ember]

I've gotten to the point in shadowbringers msq where I can attune to the Eulmore aetheryte but the vendors are still locked. Do I need to finish the MSQ to unlock them or is there smth else?

[faint flare]

Tome vendors unlock after finishing shadowbringers as usual

[final ember]

ah ok, I was hoping it'd be like ARR and heavensward where you could use the vendors as soon as you unlocked the town

[faint flare]

Only heavensward is the exception

Everything else you need to finish msq

[final ember]

oh wasn't mor dhona also unlocked during msq?

[faint flare]

You physically can't GET tomes prior to finishing it

Castrum and praeotirum give you your first lot

[final ember]

ohh yeah you're right

[atomic gulch]

Is there a website that hosts all the job skill changes from patches where I can easily filter out a single job and look at what has changed in the same way the league of legends wiki page has specific champions with individual patch history?

[little swift]

This isn't true

You can earn poetics from a ranks and s ranks

As well as wanderers Palace, which isn't locked to msq

[regal pawn]

Channy with the "WELL AKSCHUALLY"

[little swift]

Mor Dhona is accessible basically when you can leave your main city if you walk carefully

[faint flare]

It was part of his challenge

[eager widget]

Has there been any confirmation on what will happen to Feast-exclusive rewards like Fenrir Pup or the achievements when Feast goes away for an undisclosed time in 6.0?

[little swift]

Could probably use the waymarked machine to look at stuff that way, but you would have to know which months major patches happened that caused job changes

[twilit arch]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10jLUEf_k5cVzYuCoaN3m1W4F2b085K_Iv9qeWeAduzY/edit#gid=2029058413 @atomic gulch

tho doesn't seem its up dated for the 5.5 adjustments for skills

[gritty oracle]

What's the most easily accessible dyeable weapon?

[twilit arch]

ironworks

[atomic gulch]

Thanks friends I will check out those sources

[gritty oracle]

oh ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys i have so many items that is low and i cant sell them and i cant transform to materia... what to do with it?

[boreal storm]

You don’t transform things into materia

You just extract it after getting 100% spirit bond

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah thats what i mean but can i spirit bond it to 100% without wearing it?

[leaden granite]

hm is it possible to craft dyes?

[faint flare]

Yes

[glossy flare]

some of them, yes

[faint flare]

Some

[boreal storm]

No

[leaden granite]

i guess the valuable one's cant be crafted?

[glossy flare]

yup

[leaden granite]

ok nvm D:

[pure zenith]

no, but you can vendor the item to your grand company if its a green or above

[glossy flare]

can't craft the true black one for example

which obviously sells like hot cakes

[leaden ginkgo]

and the rest just sell it to npc? 😄 bc i have so many low item and not 100% bond

[pure zenith]

desynth if you have the crafter to do so or sell if you want the gil p much yup

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thank you

[quiet condor]

Is there an All Classes necklace that looks kind of like a dog tag?

[sleek needle]

You can't walk to mor dhona before msq gets you there, tried when I was new

[raw granite]

what's the chance to drop haunting and vexatious memories from fates ?

[hard aurora]

@raw granite not terrible, not wonderful

like

its ok

[raw granite]

Do you have a % ?

[regal pawn]

I'm assuming this is the 36 memories step?

[raw granite]

ya

[regal pawn]

Cause it used to be around 25%
And now it's higher than that

[twilit arch]

you absolutely can walk to mor dhona

[little swift]

You can, you go through coerthas. My alt hasn't left sastasha msq and it's there

[twilit arch]

going from north shroud is the easiest way to get there

but its still a bit dangerous cos of the wolves

but there is no msq block

[regal pawn]

Channy is a Chad and knows what he's saying
He's too big brain

[twilit arch]

The ONLY ARR zone that is hard locked by msq progress is getting to/from limsa

as it requires airship access

[little swift]

Or fc house

[wispy shell]

In eureka do you not get challenge log credit if you're in a group but killing stuff solo?

[raw granite]

What's faster, farming haunting/vexatious memories from raids or fates ? Assuming you're alone on the fates

[regal pawn]

I noticed that
It's weird

[regal pawn]

Takes 12 alliance raids total

Cause 3 per raid

[raw granite]

yes

question is, is it faster to get them from FATEs

[faint flare]

You can do both

[twilit arch]

queue for the raids while doing fates

[raw granite]

Don't know why I didn't think about that

[faint flare]

Alot of people forget about it

[regal pawn]

You went apeshit

No brain

Only ape

[sleek needle]

Why couldn't I then? :( strange

Ah well doesn't matter anymore anyway 🤷

[restive yarrow]

I require your assistance. Let's say I went mad and decided that I want to do savage omega 9-12, where would I go to find a group of other mad people to do it with?

[honest egret]

Yo do I have to do the Extreme for Thok ast Thok and Limitless blue in order to progress through the warring triad

[heavy wadi]

Party finder

[restive yarrow]

No

[honest egret]

Sweet

[restive yarrow]

Are there any discord servers for that? I don't think I should use the party finder for my first time doing a savage...

[faint flare]

Party finder is how you're meant to do any high end content

[heavy wadi]

^^

[faint flare]

Old high end content is primarily done unsynced to face roll it

[restive yarrow]

ye but what if I do it wrong and end up ruining some poor party's day

[faint flare]

Then you get raised

And continue

[leaden granite]

hey, i wanna farm some company seals and ive heard that FATEs are good for it. are there any "go-to" areas where i can go that have people farming fates? i assume its faster in a agroup

[faint flare]

You barely do any mechanics when unsyncing stuff

[leaden granite]

also, do lvl 80 fates give more company seals from rewards as lower lvl ones? i assume yes?

[twilit arch]

no

[restive yarrow]

i wonna do it sync'd

[twilit arch]

80 fates don't give gc seals at all

[boreal storm]

If you need seals, just do expert delivery

[twilit arch]

they give bicoloured gems

[faint flare]

Only mechanics you do I'm o12s unsync is Fundamental sundry dashes and Hello world, which many people do the Goodbye world strat which means the dps yeet themselves off and raise after the mechanic

[leaden granite]

oh damn, okay. whats the lvl cap for company seals ?

[boreal storm]

90k if you’re a captain

So rank up whenever possible

[faint flare]

For synced, you'll want synced discords cause no one cares for doing old content synced cause there no reason to do it

[twilit arch]

honestly if you want to farm gc seals, assuming you're atleast sergeant second class, its easier to just unsync a dungeon like the vault

and turn in seals

[restive yarrow]

tbh this comes from just how fun they were to do on normal... until I got queued with a party of max level people who completely carried me

[faint flare]

90% of people you'll meet in ques are maxed

[restive yarrow]

Yeah but when you can tell they've been doing this over and over for hours so they're completely carrying the party it's just not fun anymore

[languid furnace]

Hey could someone help me with figuring out a controller layout for my warrior. I recently boosted from a level 20 to a level 70 and I'm taking my time to learn the new mechanics but I need help with the layout. The reason why is so I can begin muscle memory and understanding the order I need to do things. And if anyone's wondering why I boosted it's because I mained a paladin it was fun but it's going to be a while since I'm just entering the last few quests in a realm reborn and I didn't want to wait till sometime midheaven's HW or storm blood to get magic spells.

[gritty oracle]

On controller, it is possible to use the left stick to navigate the menus like the dpad, but without messing up anything else?

[hollow raptor]

where do I find my ffxiv screenshot folder of ingame screenshots?

[gritty oracle]

Documents - My Games - FFXIV - screenshots methinks

[hollow raptor]

thankyu it works

[unborn latch]

Is there a discord for crystal server to do high end duties?

[leaden ginkgo]

hey how come when im tanking

it hits other ppl sometimes

do i have to touch all the mobs

[patent citrus]

Yeh, spam them aoe baby

[leaden ginkgo]

if i hit them once with aoe

will i draw aggro

[patent citrus]

Not once, all the time

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh

[faint flare]

You have a 10x aggro multiplier

On all your skills

[glossy flare]

your aoe also deals more dmg at 2+ targets

[faint flare]

With tank stance

[glossy flare]

use it not just to keep aggro

but also to just... deal more dmg

[leaden ginkgo]

this too right

[faint flare]

everything

[glossy flare]

you only use that to pull bosses

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't use the lifesteal skill?

[faint flare]

Not in aoe

[glossy flare]

souleater? not with 2+ targets

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok...

[glossy flare]

abyssal drain you do use

in any situation

[tropic summit]

is there a way to get the character turning from standard while using legacy movement?

[ornate roost]

hey guys, i only have HS right now. (im on steam if this info is related), what will happen if i pre-purchase endwalker now? will i get previous expansions?

[faint flare]

On trial or not

[boreal storm]

Not until November

[ornate roost]

no not trial

[faint flare]

Then you'll get them in November

At launch

[ornate roost]

so i doesnt matter if i buy now or when it actually releases

i wont get anything now

[faint flare]

Other than preorder items

Which won't be obtainable afterwards

[ornate roost]

oh, i dont see any info about preorder items on steam shop. lemme google them. thanks for info

[coarse meadow]

thanks !

[fleet bone]

quick question. Can i get the ff15 collab stuff with a quest or do i need mgp for everything?

[faint flare]

Infographic for all the items and source

[pure zenith]

you get noctis outfit with the quest then you can do a fate for some extra stuff, but to get the car/noctis card/noctis haristyle you need mgp

[fleet bone]

@pure zenith ty

[craggy tinsel]

iirc you need like 235k MGP if you wanna get everything

[tacit crypt]

Sorry I kind of asked this before, I just want to be sure - I have road to 70 active, if I level botanist to 70, then botanist no longer gets any benefit, but any other job under 70 still does?

[craggy tinsel]

I thought Road to 70 only affected combat jobs

[tacit crypt]

Oh huh

[craggy tinsel]

I could be wrong

[frosty kelp]

what do you guys think the best thing to spend wolf marks on when you are capped?

[tacit crypt]

So lets say I level a combat job to 70, does the same thing still apply? I guess my question boils down to: does leveling a job to 70 remove the buff entirely for all jobs, or just jobs 70+?

[sharp forge]

Personally. Glamour

Some of it is quite nice

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/dd9956f3948/

love these gloves

sadly only for dps magic jobs

[frosty kelp]

seemed like the obvious option. thank you.

[sharp forge]

but yeah wolf marks are good for glamour if you’re into that

[faint flare]

It doesn't remove it

[tacit crypt]

Ok, so I don't need to worry about accidentally leveling past 69 then. Thank you.

[floral stump]

So I was playing the Arcanist guild quest and noticed some of the gladiator bandits had daggers for swords.
Is there a dagger for paladins? Like.. A really small sword?

[warm snow]

There used to be

Back in 2.0

Then knives were given to rogues and ninjas

Thancread was technically a gladiator that used a knife back in 2.0

[haughty sky]

Gonna lose my mind staring at the damn TT tournament board....

Top score: 2,298 with 17 wins.
That..... isn't possible! Is it??

[boreal storm]

People fight other players, and that gives more points iirc

[haughty sky]

17 wins against humans gets you..... 120 x 17 which is.....

Now the three draws or losses can be as much as.... 80 points each, if they draw three times against humans.

That's 240.

Where are the other 18 points coming from???

I'm gonna go crazy here. x.x

Did this guy cheat or what? What the hell happened here?

[supple pebble]

Can someone exlpain to me how level allowance works?
I am currently capped at 100 leves. Does that mean in the next 2 hours and 22 minutes I get an extra 100 leves (assuming I was at 0)

Or does that mean in the next 2:22, I would get 1 more leve?

I remember someone telling me that you get 3 leves every 12 hours.

[faint flare]

You get 3 per 12 hours

Capped at 100

[supple pebble]

I see. thank you.

so it would take 16 days pretty much to get another full 100 leve quests. Interesting, I thought leves were a better way to make money. Surprising.

[faint flare]

They're only good money with coffee biscuit leves cause they're stupidly cheap to make

[supple pebble]

Aye, but even then, I remember reading somewhere (dont recall if it was reddit, youtube video, discord) that you could make 1.8m a day from Biscuit leves.

But uh, the math doesn't quite check out.

[faint flare]

That's called clickbait

[haughty sky]

Is there like a TT Discord where I can talk about this in more detail?

I know most folks don't really care about Triple Triad, I don't wanna keep bugging the main FF14 discord about it. u~u

[supple pebble]

RIP. Tyanks Vinyl, youre always great.

[haughty sky]

Lancelin gettin hung up on math problems, same as me.
A kindred spirit~.

[supple pebble]

Not as much math problems, but just misinformation, I guess is the proper label.

[haughty sky]

.... I think 2nd place cheated too.
11 wins and 9 draws, all against human, 2,040 points. 2,037 is below that, so it's fine, right?
Except... if even one of those wins was against the Lordling, that drops the overall score by 31 points. 2,040 becomes a measly 2,009.

Did anyone play legit???

I guess this is just the kind of thing I'm not supposed to care about...

[loud fossil]

Does it take a long time to get 60 yellow scripts?

[patent citrus]

yeah, it's very easy

[wispy orbit]

what's the absolute cheapest way to farm yellow crafter scrips? 😄

[patent citrus]

craft

it's their currency

[loud fossil]

Is it expensive?

[wispy orbit]

I mean like an item in general that's generally considered easy for the return

[obsidian patio]

Players give much more points than the NPCs, even if you draw

[haughty sky]

You think I don't know that? x.x
I did the math over here, I know that players give "more" points. I can tell you how many more points too: exactly 31 points higher than the toughest NPC, 120 points vs 89 points.

Apparently I am the leading authority on this tournament, and my efforts to find someone who knows more than me are for naught. ._.

[warm snow]

I'm just spit balling but like most ranking systems you probably get more points for beating a higher ranked player

[haughty sky]

Then I have magically never fought anyone of any particular note. Every player I've played awards the same score: 40 if I lose, 80 if we draw, 120 if I win. No exceptions.
And if people are awarding extra points like that, shouldn't someone be scoring a lot higher than 2200?

Indeed, that was the old way. And, from what I heard, they stopped doing that because people were abusing the system.

If you look up old scoreboards...

[haughty sky]

the scores are much, much higher. Those scores aren't even possible, as best I can tell, with today's rules.
And indeed: nobody has scores like that in this week's tourney.

(they also played many more matches... hm.....)

.... but 120 x 45 = 5400 points. So the top two scorers are still definitely illegal, especially if they didn't even win all their matches.

[green grail]

i think winning with more cards taken over gives more points? maybe

like a difference of one card vs combo'ing the whole board would have different scores

[haughty sky]

Definitely not the case. I've had narrow victories and landslide victories, and the reward is the same regardless.

I'm probably overthinking it: it's almost certainly just cheaters.
Look how the top three scores are massively bigger than the fourth score. It's like they're not even trying to be subtle. : /

[raven bolt]

I believe you get a handful of extra points when playing against players on the leaderboard

that's how you get the singles digits on your score. Else if everything was nice and rounded to the 10s everything would end with a 0

[haughty sky]

I had taken that as a sign that people were getting their last couple wins off Lordling or Nell.
NPCs universally give non-0 scores if you beat them: 89, 87, 84, 81.

It's a sensible strategy, really. : ?

[raven bolt]

that is also a possibility

[warm snow]

If its bothering you that much contact support

[haughty sky]

Where's the Support to contact?
EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

[raven bolt]

now my actual question is how they're getting 17 wins on All open Plus

against 17 players

[haughty sky]

There's no way to prove they didn't. 👋
It's certainly incredible, but there just isn't any hard evidence against it.
But, as best I can tell, there's hard evidence against other things about this.

[wispy shell]

Can you do eureka without doing anything with the eureka weapons?

[faint flare]

Yes

Relics are always optional

[warm snow]

Well....

[raven bolt]

Isn't a relic mandatory for Eureka?

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

Getting a relic is mandatory to do bozja

[raven bolt]

to progress through eureka*

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

You don't need the relic for eureka

Just do Kriles quests

[warm snow]

You technically got the first step of the relic from your job quests

[wispy shell]

I heard there was some stuff locked behind the relic for eureka tho? What is that stuff

[faint flare]

Elemental armour

[warm snow]

The relic armor

Basically

[faint flare]

Aka the glowy armoury

[wispy shell]

Ahh

Just not sure which relic I want there yet so im glad I can keep hold of the mats till i figure it out then

[faint flare]

If you just want the arnour you only need to progress it to Pagos and finish upgrading it in there

[manic swallow]

Any idea of how long it will take for aether and primal to become preferred?

[warm snow]

November if at all

[faint flare]

Whenever SE decides it

[manic swallow]

ty

[warm snow]

Preferred etc. Only changes when we get a new patch

Or if some crazy shit happens

[faint flare]

I doubt any servers will be preferred when endwalker comes

[warm snow]

Yeah

[raven bolt]

Midgardsormr is poppin now adays

[faint flare]

Preferred is slapped on lower population servers as a incentive

[warm snow]

Aether is also still fucking stuffed

[fossil bloom]

Hello, I need help. Anyone, please? Is there an armory to craft my own glamours like the WoWhead's Dressing Room for transmogs of the rival game?

I want to craft a few glamours before buying it on a simulator or something

[warm snow]

No

Not really

[fossil bloom]

Thanks @warm snow

Guess I will have to buy them

[warm snow]

You can just right click and try them on

[faint flare]

Can just right click > try on

[fossil bloom]

oh, thanks. I am newb

[faint flare]

And save the outfit

[warm snow]

Save the current outfit to mix and match entire sets

[fossil bloom]

Thanks vinyl and kat

[warm snow]

You can also dye the pieces on that

they just always try to wait people out for loot in here or something?

this is the third day in a row I've had to wait until the timer runs out

[modern sorrel]

What should I be prioritizing on my MCH as far as Pentamelding goes

Direct Hit and Skill Speed?

[wide breach]

Do you get a reward for all 80 DoH and DoL?

or a title whatever?

[last kayak]

achiev

[wide breach]

Finally got them all 80 and I can't see any new title

[last kayak]

I think the achiev is called "My Hand is my Best Friendo"

[modern sorrel]

BRUH

naughty af

[wide breach]

Meme in the appropriate channels, don't be a dick and waste peoples time when they are trying to learn tfq?

[last kayak]

[boreal storm]

There’s two separate achievements for getting all 80s in each

Mastering the land 4 & mastering the hand 4

[signal hamlet]

anyone know if there is a way to track when an Ixion FATE will pop up in the Lochs or do i just have to get lucky with timing?

[sleek shuttle]

If someone on your friends list blacklists you, are you unable to see anything under Estate Teleportation?

[muted dawn]

does anyone know if i can upgrade endwalker preorder on steam from the base version to the digital collectors edition?

[leaden granite]

how can i sort by "price" on market boards? am i blind?

[hasty musk]

yes

you get exp for doing fates and CEs

the job you are

[tough ocean]

where russians player

[hasty musk]

presumably on chaos or light, I don't think there's any specific servers known for having a large amount of russian players

[honest turret]

i abandon a quest "the hunt for omega" and i need to do it now, but i cant find the quest giver. hes not on Rhalgr's reach. can someone help

[idle flicker]

Hello, whats the best way to make gil when ur lvl 80 without doh/dols? is it still bozja cluster farming?

[unborn latch]

Anyone trying to help clear eden 12 savage? I’m slowly learning but its kinda rough looking for people

[hasty musk]

use the recruitment channels if you're trying to find a static

[hasty musk]

That quest starts in Rhalgr's Reach so if you can't find it after abandoning it Idk what to tell you

[honest turret]

@hasty musk bruh so i cant do it anymore?

[hasty musk]

are you sure you abandoned the quest?

[honest turret]

ya

[hasty musk]

and are you sure it's not in rhalgr's reach

[honest turret]

yes

it should be just infront of the main aetheryate right

[hasty musk]

at this location

[honest turret]

yep its not there

[hasty musk]

and you opened your journal and looked at your active quests and it's not there

[honest turret]

yep

[hasty musk]

I find that incredibly hard to believe

[honest turret]

i got the deltascape v1.0 then abandon it

[hasty musk]

that's not the same quest

you already finished this one

that's why it's not there

[cosmic widget]

does field record 44 and 45 drop together in Dalriada or seperate?

[hasty musk]

go to the interdimensional rift to get the next quest

[honest turret]

how do i get there

[faint flare]

Npc by the giant ass hole in the fringes

South of peering stones

[honest turret]

ok thank you for the help

[violet fiber]

i cant jump while i hold shift

help

nvm, it just moves my camera

how do i disable that?

[astral bolt]

How does the weekly rate reward work?

Do I only get to greed/need for one item per week?

And one I get it I can't get anything more from the tower raid?

[hasty musk]

there are no weekly caps on items anymore

you can get as many items as you want from tower

[astral bolt]

But... What's the pop up notification for? D:

[hasty musk]

you get planiclusters awarded weekly for doing the raid

but the loot itself isn't weekly locked anymore

[astral bolt]

Ah

Will there be a higher tier materia in EW?

[hasty musk]

most likely, yes

[astral bolt]

Then I'll just hold off buying any

[hasty musk]

the current planiclusters won't get you any of the new materia

[astral bolt]

F

[hasty musk]

there'll be new stuff to farm

[astral bolt]

What happens to the planiclister equivalent on the next expansion?

Do they turn into poetics or something?

[hasty musk]

like what will happen to the ones we have now?

nothing, you're supposed to trade them for materia

[astral bolt]

I can't say I've researched much into what happened to SB farm materials

But I know every endgame item from previous expansions are bought with poetics

[twilit arch]

nothing happened to the clusters

they still exist

can still get them from wondrous tails, orbonne, etc

[fiery perch]

Is there npc alchemists? That i can use to help with my faded orchestration scrolls

[twilit arch]

no

[boreal storm]

Nope

[astral bolt]

If only xD

[fiery perch]

Damn lol 😆

How does one find someone who can help with that lol

[boreal storm]

Lvl alchemist or buy the usable rolls off MB

[twilit arch]

or you can shout in a major city if an alchemist is willing to craft the full item for you

[astral bolt]

Start being an omni crafter, say goodbye to inventory space

[nova karma]

question, just accepted Bahamet raid and am at this point

but there is no "quest" that tells me what I need to do in order to progress the questline

it just unlocked all turns

im used to seeing it unlock 1 at a time and having that 1 quest be the one to progress

[hasty musk]

do em all

and you'll get to the next bit

[nova karma]

oh welp

[twilit arch]

you only need to do turn 5

[nova karma]

ty

[twilit arch]

to continue

[nova karma]

oh

[fiery perch]

Howdoes one shout?

[twilit arch]

/sh

if you're a trial player tho, can't shout

nor can you trade so asking someone to craf tit for you is a moot point

[fiery perch]

I'm not a trail person so thats good lol

[nova karma]

ty guys

Thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

i just used a company issue survival manual like 30 mins ago but the buff fell off why?

oh maybe i hit the max points ?

i lvled up like 10 levels and then i noticed it was gone

[heavy wadi]

it only lasts for 6mil exp

[worldly bobcat]

fastest ways to level after 30?

[heavy wadi]

iirc

[pastel pecan]

any tips to level up faster for blu mage?

[hasty musk]

highest level leveling dungeon spam or floor 51-60 of potd, whichever you queue for faster

[little swift]

get a friend out of party to kill monsters you tag on the shore of kholusia or amh araeng

[hasty turtle]

any way to activate dragon sight on yourself and no others in pvp

[little swift]

lv70 monsters give the most exp

[pastel pecan]

um how about solo?

any tips

[little swift]

kill things about 5 ish levels above you

[pastel pecan]

aight thanks

[little swift]

grinding overworld mobs is relaly the only way to do it

[worldly bobcat]

i guess i should say im at level 32 so what is better for around there because i have no clue if i have access to that stuff

[hasty musk]

I believe the highest leveling dungeon you have access to at that level is cutter's cry?

[little swift]

at 32 its brayflox

[hasty musk]

ah ok

also

[little swift]

cutters is 38

qarn is 35

[hasty musk]

if you're new, don't worry about leveling too fast

even if you do, it's not gonna matter since all content will sync you down to the level of the dungeon

[worldly bobcat]

thank you

[dusty shard]

any1 have the free trail download link ?

[nova karma]

when applying for trial duty roulette, are high end trails in the duty roulete pool

[boreal storm]

No

[sour pumice]

Nope

[nova karma]

aw ok ty

[lone totem]

you must have a target

dragon sight cannot be applied to yourself without first applying Left Eye to another player

also Right Eye's effect will cease to apply if you are too far from your partner

[obsidian patio]

I was about to say no but then you said PvP

[lone totem]

indeed, specifically to PvP

[hasty turtle]

seems like it's the same for nascent flash

[lone totem]

it is, yes

you must have a target

[pure zenith]

!faq free trial

[lone totem]

this was not changed in pvp because they are extremely powerful

[zinc orbit]

FAQ Listing

freetrial

Page 1 of 1

this is omega scuffed

Free Trial Download and Limitations

Click Here to download the Free Trial

Click Here to see the Free Trial limitations

[pure zenith]

there ya go

[dusty shard]

link won't open

[hasty turtle]

that assessment seems backwards

[lone totem]

in PvP, things are done in potency + multipliers along with the overall multiplier you get from chains

[dusty shard]

i went to the free trial page and try to log in

[lone totem]

if you are on a high chain (Battle High 5) of x5, then an additional self buff from dragon sight along with a bard buff will literally make you a killing machine

you will two shot any tank

[dusty shard]

but for some reason, it say i can't register due to the account already registered

i'm just trying to log in tho

[pure zenith]

the link should just straight up start the download for the exe

[lone totem]

battle high in of itself is a super powerful mechanic that pretty much renders the team with the most of them the winners

assuming they are playing smart and also playing objectives

[hasty turtle]

it seems i could be able to do it either way, but i need to first target a nearby teammate and press the button first

[lone totem]

and that's true, assuming you are able to sync in positioning

[dusty shard]

nothing happen for me

also when i try to log in in the free trial page

Square Enix accounts that have already registered for a FINAL FANTASY XIV service account are not eligible for a free trial.

[hasty turtle]

this would only make it stronger in a solo environment which is either duels or you throwing in frontline

[lone totem]

in pvp, positioning for every player is important and there are a lot of ways to move players around or force them to be unable to chase

[pure zenith]

oh if you bought and activated the game at any point you no longer have access to free trial

[hasty turtle]

like, why does DRK get to use TBN on himself but warrior cant self sustain himself while alone

with nascent

[lone totem]

that's because TBN is actually pretty bad

in PvP, people see you using that

smart people will wait the 3 seconds

and then kill you

[dusty shard]

thats the problem, i'm still on free trial

[lone totem]

making it a waste of MP and you never got its effects

while for warrior, it's immediate as soon as the warrior attacks

meaning the warrior can make use of flash immediately, and get its valuable contribution

while tbn can be ignored

[hasty turtle]

not quite as immediate since you need to target a teammate that's in range, then retarget the intended enemy

feels so scuffed

[lone totem]

it's weird, I agree

[sour pumice]

So you have not bought the game ?

[lone totem]

those abilities should not even be in PvP

for warrior though, the higher your battle high, the stronger nascent flash becomes

[dusty shard]

nope

[lone totem]

meaning if you're on max battle high, you pop inner release and use steel cyclone in a pack of players (around 3-4) you are literally fully healing yourself and your target every single time

it's some of the best healing you can get

it's literally stronger than tetragrammaton x2 or even 3 med kits

if a warrior can do that whenever they want without team mates near them, they can just go and jungle all they want

killing anyone out of position

[hasty turtle]

i understand it's very powerful, but given the chaos and speed of fights in pvp you'd think it would be simple to activate such a key sustain tool

like rotation

[lone totem]

they are going to end up reworking pvp come endwalker

to incorporate the new job skills

as well as remove some

so hopefully the target-specific ones disappear

and we get better options

[sour pumice]

Hmm im assyming you have successfully creates a free trial SE acc then ?

[lone totem]

it's like how monk has a gap closer on a 3 charge but then literally has no follow up

monk cannot stun, silence, bind, or otherwise slow the enemy you're attacking

meaning you will need to improvise and deal large amounts of damage with a triple chase

[dusty shard]

already been playing for a long time, currently in a Cafe and they don't have ff14

[lone totem]

it's extremely unsatisfying

[dusty shard]

so i'm trying to download the free trial

[sour pumice]

Ah you need to create a new acc

[dusty shard]

the download link doesn't work for some reason

[sour pumice]

Oh wait nvm

[hasty turtle]

yeah, i experimented with a friend in duels to understand pvp mechanics a bit better but i can't say i'm impressed with what i found out lmao

[lone totem]

pvp today is a lot better than what it was previously

just keep in mind that pvp is not really pvp anymore, it's more of a moba

lol

at least, the large-scale pvp is

[hasty turtle]

the chaos is fun but i cant imagine playing it seriously the way it is right now

[lone totem]

the feast is still the best pvp but that specific mode seems to cater more towards team composition since you cannot experiment

you must have a tank, a healer, a melee dps, and then any type of ranged dps

and this format cannot be changed at any point and each have their own individual queue spot

and given ff14's queue system, you cannot queue into multiple roles at once

ff14 pvp is fun, but with some more polish it will be better

[leaden ginkgo]

can anyone help me? i just turned astrologist and i wonder what changes will there be in 6.0 expansion

[lone totem]

coming from someone in a pvp FC lol

[sour pumice]

What about this one https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/download/?platform=win&lng=en-us&rgn=na

[lone totem]

significant job changes will be coming to AST due to the internal change of it becoming a "pure healer"

[sour pumice]

I can open it just fine but idk about u

[lone totem]

and no longer a "barrier healer" option

the specific changes are not really available but they did talk about it in the PLL

[leaden ginkgo]

nocturnal right? i dont know if i want to be a pure healer like white mage

[lone totem]

as far as I am aware, astro's play style will inadvertently be similar to white mage

due to it being a pure healer

[dusty shard]

oh this work, thx

[lone totem]

of course there are still differences

[obsidian patio]

Astro will basically be on permanent Diurnal Sect with it as a trait instead of an action

Come 6.0

[lone totem]

just like how they are differences for SCH and sage

there will still be differences enough that you will enjoy AST and dislike WHM or vice-versa

or like both

[sour pumice]

Np welcome back to the game !

[scarlet hinge]

I mean we know the changes to astro

[lone totem]

we know the overall archetype changes but we haven't seen all the changes to job actions

or the new actions (and their descriptions)

[hasty turtle]

from what i've seen, they're changing how divination works, seems like it will become a self buff instead of a raidwide, and instead the current raidwide divination will be tied to a single card (should be easier to have it ready con cooldown reliably)

[lone totem]

their potencies, etc

[scarlet hinge]

I mean it is available its just leak material

[hasty turtle]

and of course, what other people said, nocturnal sect is deleted and it will be a pure healer

[weak isle]

Where would I go if I were looking to find an experienced DRK to Voice Chat with me a little, give me advice and tips and such?

[lone totem]

for what content?

[scarlet hinge]

all the potencies and descriptions

[lone totem]

savage?

[obsidian patio]

Divination as we know it will just always be at max power and not use any seals

[lone totem]

also huh, I wasn't aware that information was out

maybe ill go find it and read it

[obsidian patio]

And a new action will make use of the seal system for self-buffs

[scarlet hinge]

we can't talk about leaks on this server right

[obsidian patio]

#archived-lore-spoilers

For leaks

[hasty turtle]

that's what i surmised from the trailer

[scarlet hinge]

ok

[weak isle]

@lone totem Nothing specific. I just recently got access to DRK and I've never played a tank class before. Also the game itself is a little bit overwhelming with how many abilities and buttons each class has and having complex bars to pay attention to. I played FF11 a long time ago and those classes were sparse

[hasty turtle]

i didnt read it

[patent citrus]

usually I refer to weskalber guide for that type of difficulty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eByfSznEkCU&ab_channel=WeskAlber

[lone totem]

yeah weskalber is good

[weak isle]

Okay, I'll have to check that out

[patent citrus]

for tanking guide in general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnOnwZEahE

[hasty turtle]

as vielen dank said, wesk alber has a good guide for leveling / learning progressively a class, and his most recent video is a 1h+ guide on tanking

[weak isle]

Is there a guide for being overwhelmed by the number of buttons/bars? lol

[hasty turtle]

i learned some new things from it too even though i've played all roles for a few months now

[patent citrus]

nah, you'll get used to that

after playing it for a while

it's all practice

[hasty turtle]

you start with 123 and progressively add more

you shouldn't be overwhelmed straight away unless you boosted

[celest coral]

About triple triad. What does the "A" mean?

Is it the highest value?

[weak isle]

@hasty turtle I mean DRK starts at level 30...

[last sapphire]

Ace, and usually it is the highest yes

[celest coral]

Is there any way to "beat" it?

[hasty turtle]

drk only has 123 as its rotation starting out, and 1 aoe

doesnt get much simpler than that

[last sapphire]

Not that I know of, but the rules change so you can optimise your deck for a particular ruleset

[obsidian patio]

Only a plus/same or 1 with fallen ace beats an A

Since A’s are basically a 10

[hasty turtle]

you also get your mana spenders early on, dont remember if at 30

[paper raptor]

Seen some videos where boss charge attacks were displayed as large text on middle of the screen, where do you turn this on?

[hasty turtle]

but thats a total of like 5-6 buttons

[weak isle]

You talking about the line attack? I don't think I have other AOE's besides that yet @hasty turtle
And aside from the rotation, I also have all my tank stuff to be concerned with, when I use them, keep an eye on my gauge, etc.

[hasty turtle]

you definitely have unleash

as your GCD aoe

[weak isle]

Ah okay

Missed that one

[hasty turtle]

and what you're going to be pressing 90% of the time in dungeons

[celest coral]

Man this is complex haha

[hasty turtle]

you're gonna live with it until very much late into the game (early shadowbringers)

[pure zenith]

@worldly bobcat

[worldly bobcat]

yo

LMFAO

[obsidian patio]

[pure zenith]

yeah

[worldly bobcat]

thats the second time ive done that btw

[pure zenith]

it happens

[worldly bobcat]

the app always trolls me cause it look like im typing into the bar on the app

[hasty turtle]

also, your tank cooldowns are situational, you shouldn't have issues with them provided you bound them to easily accessible keys @weak isle

[weak isle]

@hasty turtle Guess I just need to learn when to use things and such

[hasty turtle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk3hZtTFvzk

if you're passionate about learning

it's a good watch

it's basically a FF14 masterclass on tanking

[weak isle]

I dabbled in a lot of different MMO's, but the only two I played with any time invested were WoW and FFXI, and even in XI, I was a Dragoon, not a tank class

[hasty turtle]

DPS have it rougher in this game most of the time

tanking is the easiest role

[sharp forge]

Leveling or just playing as?

[hasty turtle]

except for specific high end content that might require some outlandish tank mechanics

[weak isle]

@hasty turtle Yeah I got scared off from Ninja

[sharp forge]

dont be scared about playing a job honestly

as you level it you'll learn the basics and from my experience no job is really difficult at the basics

its trying to min max do your rotation perfectly that gets difficult

[hasty turtle]

^

rotations in this game are way harder than it seems

at meta parse levels at least

which isnt needed for most content

[sharp forge]

Weskalber on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxJk0ZfIcrM

[hasty turtle]

but for current tier savage raids you need to put in work

[sharp forge]

Honestly for combat jobs or doh/dol

weskalber just has it all

makes the best guides imo

[hasty turtle]

this guy is the goat of ff14 guides

[sharp forge]

^

[night oxide]

ive just reached shb and ive forgotten some crystal tower lore can someone tell me what its original purpose was in spoiler tags

[weak isle]

The Ninja job was just scary due to all the combos

[sharp forge]

hmm well tbh crafting is not very easy to understand just reading '

even for people who prefer to read its much more confusing

and gathering honestly just read your tooltips

not much to that

but theres defiantly some crafting written guides

but nothing will "stick" unless you craft stuff yourself and try

[hasty turtle]

||it was created by the allagan empire as a supermassive reservoir of aether||

[sharp forge]

https://ffxivteamcraft.com/search

defiantly use teamcraft

lets you simulate crafting

[night oxide]

thank you

[sharp forge]

I just mean most written guides for crafting are for more advanced crafting from what i've seen

[hasty turtle]

you can probably find some sort of guide on reddit maybe

but i think that weskalber is the reason why not many people even bother doing guides since his are already enough to explain everything most of the time

[sharp forge]

most written guides just focus on powerleveling 1-80 for crafters without explaining how it all works

[hasty turtle]

the balance has up to date rotations that arent featured in his videos for instance

[sharp forge]

but there are defiantly some floating out there on reddit like freeway said

[wispy shell]

Is there a way to check what job quest you're on? Nothing is in the top left and I lost track on this job

[little swift]

Check your completed quests tab

[wispy shell]

Perfect

[flint vigil]

Got a buddy who installed FFXIV on his computer today, and got an endless loading screen. And his computer is bricked into the windows repair cycle. Anyone able to give any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

[wispy finch]

is this a steam download or a square enix download

[last kayak]

do you have the steam version or the official squeenix version?

[last kayak]

reformat

[flint vigil]

waiting to find out, they stepped away for a moment

[last kayak]

when in doubt, blow it out.

Especially these days, a complete Win10 re-install takes like 15 minutes and you can keep all ur files.

[worldly bobcat]

any mounts that are easy to go after to farm? im only at 44k gil

[loud fossil]

I tried opening screenshots in the files of my pc I took in game, but whenever I try to open them it launches the uninstall program for the game is there any way to fix this?

[last kayak]

uhh, gonna have to walk me through what steps you're exactly taking here.

[hasty musk]

you're like level 30 something iirc, so no

[last kayak]

mount farming is an endgame goal

[worldly bobcat]

rip

[hasty musk]

also most easy to farm mounts are untradeable

[loud fossil]

I go to my camera roll in my files, and I click on any of the files I have for the screenshots. And each one tries to launch the uninstall program.

[last kayak]

you on windows?

[loud fossil]

Yes

[last kayak]

what are the file types you're trying to open?

[loud fossil]

Lemme check

[fluid sable]

Hey question

Are debit cards not accepted for subs?

[hasty musk]

they are

[fluid sable]

Mine keeps on giving me error 601

[last kayak]

enter it like a credit card.

[fluid sable]

I did

[loud fossil]

All the files for the screenshots I took day ffxivsetup_ft took at least 3 and they all say that. These are all files on my camera roll.

[last kayak]

show me a screenshot of where you're launching your picture files from

[worldly bobcat]

what specifies endgame?

[haughty sky]

Level 80, I imagine.

[hasty musk]

level 80, current content

[haughty sky]

Or possibly "fashion". : P

Probably level 80. ^^;

[hasty musk]

People unsync old duties at level cap to make farming for things easier

since the drops don't change

[haughty sky]

FF14 is a speedrunning game.

[hasty musk]

so you can go into old EXs and beat up Ifrit in 30 seconds to get his horse

you could probably solo ARR EXs by level 70 tbh but we say 80 for simplicity's sake

[loud fossil]

@last kayak

[worldly bobcat]

so level 80 is cap for base steam version with only realm reborn and heavensward?

[hasty musk]

no

free trial / base game cap is 60

[last kayak]

@loud fossil Only the last 2 of those files are actually image files. The rest are applications, and not screenshots.

What happens when you open "th" ?

[loud fossil]

The bottom most are just pics I used for backgrounds

[hasty musk]

you can farm for stuff earlier than that but the closer you are to the level it was designed for the more people you'll need

[loud fossil]

The ffxiv files only showed after I tried screenshots in game

[hasty musk]

at level 80 you can do most ARR content and some HW content on your own

[last kayak]

screenshots dont normally end up in the camera roll. Are you playing Steam version of ffxiv or the standalone?

[loud fossil]

The standalone

[last kayak]

go to My Documents -> Go into My Games > FFXIV > Screenshots.

[sharp forge]

Monk has the fastest gcd right?

[loud fossil]

Ah, there we are. Found them. Tyvm.

[hasty musk]

on average, yes

[rigid kite]

Is it possible for any magical dps to swiftcast raise/resurrection?

[sharp forge]

trying to decide between leveling monk or ninja rn hmm

[last kayak]

RDM specializes in this.

SMN can also do it.

[hasty musk]

BLM can't

[honest egret]

Did someone said blm

[rigid kite]

I see, interesting

[last kayak]

SMN has access to Swiftcast + Raise because it co-jobs with SCH.

RDM has Verraise and every time it casts a skill with a cast time it gets X-magic, which makes your next spell instacast.

[hasty musk]

generally speaking RDM is preferred for raising utility due to being able to chain cast it quicker than other jobs

[last kayak]

MNK is getting an overhaul with the new expansion. It looks like its going to be hella fun compared to its current version.

[sharp forge]

see thats kinda my issue rn

I wanted to level monk or summoner actually

then I saw all the changes

and idk if I want to level it and then it switch completely

on one hand I'll have it ready

on the other I wont have the experience from progressing the kinda new way it plays

[last kayak]

As someone who habitually bitches about most of the classes in this game, believe me when I say that both MNK and SMN feel like crap in current-version, and look 1000% better in their new versions.

[hasty musk]

you should do it anyway, and if you don't like it then you can level something else later

[nova karma]

are these going away or something

[dry copper]

for 6.0 yeah

[last kayak]

Progressing through levels is pointless. An ounce of preparation is worth 10 pounds of back-leveling.

[nova karma]

uh oh

so mounts are going to be gone forever

[last kayak]

especially considering how many classes dramatically change every 10 levels

[sharp forge]

so hmm

[last kayak]

BLM plays vastly different at 50, and then at 60, and then at 70, and then at 80.

as an example

[dry copper]

it says there that it'll come back by 6.1

[nova karma]

oh thats what it means

read that wrong mb

[sharp forge]

Ig I'll pass on it leveling monk for rn

[nova karma]

whats the reason for the removal for the short time

[hasty musk]

everyone will be busy with the story dontcha know

[dry copper]

haven't done unreal but from friends that have done it, it's just tighter extreme trials with no new mechanics. So it's not all that appealing

maybe they're revamping it to add mechanics into it

[nova karma]

oh

hmm

ill see how to unlock em

[hasty musk]

unreal is just old EXs scaled to 80

[nova karma]

unlocking raids and trials atm

urianger gives a lot

ill see for unreals

uhh also

these are not part of the normal raid for duty roulette right

[hasty musk]

nope

[nova karma]

ty

[hasty musk]

those are savage difficulty

[nova karma]

oh

is that hard or something
