Thank you, I can at least find the Malestrom HQ on the map
So what is the difference between summon Eos and summon Selene for SCH? 
None
visual
that's it
Is there an bot wich tracks fates, like Prey Online??
i wanna kill it twice atleast for the ultima horns set
there is a discord that tracks hunts https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv, but not sure if they have a seperate bot
are there MCH guns that look like some real life guns?
was thinking something more modern
!iglam lawman
WAIT
WAIT
okay, i think i can try and download it on the third party launcher rn
i full cleared my SD card
genuine question
can i pause the download or not
it's just that i noticed this image https://gamerescape.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/FFXIV_Media_Tour2021_13_machinist-1024x1024.png and thought it looks kinda like a mauser which is pretty cool
but
it said the patch is
"62.9 gigabytes"
so thats
all of realm reborn right?
probably?
it starts where it left off
though not if you fail to download one pathc
also, patches are split in many parts
thats just total
the patches are most 4gb large
I was looking at E12s party finders and noticed people put “SE laser” in the comment, I’m assuming this is a strat but can’t find anything on it when I look it up, anyone think they can elaborate?
south east laser?
Yeah I figured thats all it meant but just incase I’m missing something more to it is why I came in here to ask
Is there a dyable version of the Brand New set?
Someone up to a rank A hunt? I'm looking at one atm
That is the xiv launcher right
it is
Why is it 62gb 
no idea
the third party one
I'm trying to download it on there
Since the main one kept crashing
entire game fresh install
Oh it's the entire game
It's going to take a year to install this
Did he delete the game on his computer or something
I saw an estimate of 2000 hours
No no, I could never download it in the first place
Oh
My launcher kept crashing
I understand now
At one point it was 86 percent
I'm so tiree
*tired
This is the 11th attempt of a download
huh, did you select the correct install location?
But yee xiv launcher is great 
Yeah!
Second try on this launcher
It's actually moving
Wish me luck
Okay
Actual question
If I gotta pause this download
When would that be
Like
when the bar is filled up
How do I stop it
force close it i guess
There are like 4 bars
well, yeah, they are 4 diff downloads, so if you feel like it, shut it down where there are less bars filled
server crash?
yep
why is the fps limiter broken?
Yup
eu dead again
EU server or entire game shut down just now?
external program overriding the fps?
Aether is fine
Also deded here
Thanks for info, porolly EU then. IIRC some people mentioned this yday or day before.
Nope, when I enable MSI Afterburner it locks to 60 like it should
It got me this time, last time it didn't
just found out there's savage versions of the second coil of bahamut
the in game fps limiter is really bad
what's up with that
When the third party software does better than first party
use somethiing external
Servers: "We'll see about that"
Anyone know someone that was at the media tour that put up good concise videos about monk and other jobs
Normally I play with MSI Afterburner on, now this one time I don't enable it and I'm like: "This game has never played so smooth..."
ive had the ingame one just not work at all, do half the FPS i told it to, or sometimes do the reverse of the "limit frame rate when client inactive" , where when the client is active, it runs at 20FPS, but when its inactive, it runs at over 100
i gave up on it and used the nvidia control panel, works perfectly
specs?
3600x and a 1660 super
did the server shit itself?
yes
lmao
I use Nvidia and gshade
servers are being pepegad?
EU did yes
I don't have anything limiting FPS IIRC but it does stay at 144-ish when gaming (5900x, 3090). Maybe I have capped it with sync? Not sure monitor is vsync tho.
Are the servers down again or why cant i get in?
i think they're back but you have to wait to join back
Oh alright thx ^^
I'm mostly limiting so my GPU temps stay at 60 max
1116th in queue lmao
Is your GPU made of chocolate? Why 60 max?
Im on 644
tab targeted MMOs are not exactly fast paced,i have mine limited to 82 fps, half my refresh rate (165)
high framerates on ff14 are basically unnoticeable for me, so why bother
servers are dying atm
imagine not being on Chaos
i just picked the role
yeah, if you are on EU datacenter, then good luck,
Guys one question, where else should I spend/save the Allagan Tomestones for?
but i picked North American for my data region when making the game, didnt pick a server yet
when updating server irrelevant. probably update server issue
50/60/70 gear
they didn't create a character yet, i assume, and they chose light
you done all the anima weapons shit?
like i literally never picked anything like light, chaos, or had any option yet, cuz i literally never PLAYED the game yet
Yeah I have Shire gear already, but only 1 anima weapon so far
depends on the login server then
well, i guess you gotta just retry again
!faq poetics
as the message says, try the normal launcher, if that also fails, well, its a connection issue
and if i ever have to switch connections i know itll crash
if it doesn't, then ask the devs of the Quick launcher
cuz it crashed every other time on the main launcher
no no, internet connection
like if im downloading it on my home router and swap to data in the past
it auto corrupts everything that was downloading
Ty! 👍
yeah i would expect the launcher to crap itself if you changed connection while it was trying to download
FF14 isn't known for having a good patching system
if xivlauncher fails to download, it should delete the patch, and retry to download
it is not tolerant of bad internet connections, and the default launcher, has no way to detect and repair corrupted files
do i delete it manually?
restart pc
or is that just worse
JP Server / Tonberry
oceanic servers are planned for the future
Since every1 there will talk in jp?
there are an english community in tonberry
tonberry ive seen has a good amount of english speakers
Is there anyway to check my ping in there? before downloading the game?
!faq checkping
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
@ornate ivy oceania data center is due some point in probably 2022 as well, transfers there will be free
you can ping the servers themselves
nice nice
will see i'll just dip my hands into free trial
and if i like the game ill purchase monthly
How long does the free trial last btw?
Wait what
you're only capped level wise (at 60) and content wise (you only have ARR and HW)
yes
can play entirety of heavensward forever for free
unlimited free trial
oh but im missing out on content?
indefinite, you get the entire base game, A Realm Reborn, and the first expansion, Heavensward
Basically i'm paying for the paid content/expansions right?
yeah
how to wondrous tails
yep, there is a loooot of content in the free trial
also for social features, free trial is limited in that, afaik mostly because of goddamn bots
Get the book in idyllshire and do the duties that are jn the book
Not hugely
a little, but the game is built to be ping friendly
not until endgame
Okay okay thanks
Free Trial is a great way to start the game, but as it's to be expected, there are some capped mechanics
But some jobs do function better in bad ping situations
how many ofthese do i do to get a bronze certificate
Is it mostly a pve game or pvp game or social game?
but you will get oceanic servers before you get to endgame probably
AoE's are snapshotted, takes a bit to get ur head around though
For some jobs ur missing out on dps byt that's not gonna kill a run outside high end content
Hey guys im currently at the beginning of 5.1 questline and my Ilvl is too low to do a dungeon. Whats the easiest way at my current point in the game to get higher item level?
I doubt ill get better ping on oce though compared to jp
but we will see
currently have 54 on jp
ic ic
Get a line
Pve with social features
Nice i enjoy pve
Thank you
Aight will download the game now
Just check the pins here and in #beginner-lounge ?
Did u get ur gear at uh. Geroldt?
oh wait what country do i select my square enix reg on?
eu and others
This probably isn't the example for every MMO game out there, but the fact FFXIV doesn't have a open-world PvP makes it 100% better
@solemn jewel is that the blacksmith dude under the sea? if so I did and im still under leveled 😦
Selecting whatever region is fine?
if i buy a lvl80gear as a free trial can i use it as glamour
Oke so ur left side should be fine. Guess ur jewelry is pulling u down
You can just chill with your own stuff without getting interrupted
will male vieras' be able to wear the lv 90 dragoon job gear helmet?
it will determine which store you buy from
@split pagoda u could buy exarchic gear
This one?
Oh okay okay
@solemn jewel ooh where would I buy that?
No u can't glam higher lvl items on lower lvl items
So is eu the way to go? Just in case i would want to buy the game
yeah

Hey, I got invited to "The Balance" discord and want to get access the SMN channels. It tells me to select the icon but I get this message and nothing else happens.
im a discord noob, is there something i gotta do?
The reaction
Click the summoner reaction below the message
This may take a few minutes
I left a reaction on your message
how does sub payment work on steam?
Same as everyone else
Except you can pay with steam wallet if you wish
All done via mogstation
quick question about gathering: If a resource has, for example, 80% chance for success and 15% chance for HQ, how is it calculated? does that mean 15% of the 80% will be HQ, or is it a flat 15% chance to obtain the HQ material?
15% chance
flat? ok thats nice, ty
Hi, could i anyone help me get in contact with a moderator? i made a guide which got popular but has a few mistakes and need to pin a comment with the fixed version
thank you
Combo in single target always
does SMN not summon anymore in pvp
the aoe combo also only prolongs the buff, doesn't apply it
which means in aoe you may need to throw in one single target combo to get it (after you have aggro on everything)
Come Endwalker aoe combo will apply the buff
!faq apm
No
oh :T
is low level potd still a decent place to get xp over dungeons, assuming dps queues?
ah ty, found it
the hw raids have important lore or can i skip them and move to stormblood?
you can skip them if you want
Only ct alliance raids are mandatory
They're asking about lore
not if they have to do them :P
But yeah
There's some lore, but it's not outright mentioned in the MSQ
It is however mentioned in a dungeon in post-Shadowbringers
you should do Alexander
not super important, but you get a lot of interesting lore from it
i see, i think i will wait till the event then so i can get some of the event currency from doing them
meanwhile ill continue msq
isnt event currency only for stuff you have done at least once though
or am i misremembering
how to make perfect time emote with person
ye
lol
dance.
You could also just try to start right as the emote loops
thanks

best news is being able to spread Sheilds on SCH without waiting anymore.
Read this on the sub, can someone clarify for me what indicates this? As far as I can tell Galvanize is still on 90s cooldown
ironwork gears cant be spiritbonded?
It's more the shield applies instantly on the end of the cast
Like if you adlo then deploy IMMEDIATELY it won't spread
Cause the server hasn't registered the shield is actually applied
The update makes that shield application faster so you can deploy immediatelu
And not cry as you see "deployment tactics failed"
It's also a thing with Bane not spreading dots if used immediately after tri
Oh ok, that makes sense.
@faint flare that was meant to you.
thx
You aren’t doing i130-ish fights, that’s how spirit bond works from what I heard
I thought spirit bonding based on level?
People say 10 levels higher than the gear(not the one equip it) is best to spiritbonding
which bozja instance will be better to level the new jobs in, zadnor or southern front?
yeah, i mean in terms of like ease of access to skirmishes
Bojza probably edges out slightly
Plus people actually cluster farm there to spawn CEs
Unlike in Zadnor
Where people laze around
alright sick, thank you for the info
How tall is sir aymeric
tall enough for Nigghogg to make a skewer ;p
Q: I just hit 50 on Astro. should I just ignore Nocturnal Sect in prep to get used to the changes? 😋
If you never touch 8-man raid or 24-man, you play what you want
Your regen stack with WHM so it is not the end of the world if you use diurnal
Nocturnal set is useless aside raids where you have a whm or another ast
I like Diurnal
It's better
Am confused. doing "Leves of Camp Drybone"
need to beckon some goblin, goblin didnt spawn
Nocturnal is only when you NEED Shields
just see a green circle on map
For endwalker they are getting rid of Noctornal , right
ooh I see
Both sect gone but to be precise, nocturnal effects gone only, diurnal ones will be built-in
oh i see
so if im running lv50 dungeons
i need to use ilv 40 gears
is that right
I noticed that most glowing weapons are relic and I found some low level armor that glows but are there any glowing end-game armor?
end game is gonna be endwalker in like a month
Hmmmh too bad tho 😦
looks really good as glam though
The Eureka one? Of course anything looks good but bad stats goes to glam dresser XD
question, I want to get the resistance weapon 535, how hard is it to get it from scratch?
does it matter at all what grand company you join?
Not really hard, just grindy
Nope, later you can change grand company
Just cosmetics
No
thx!
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
What is the name of the drk gear the WoL wears towards the end of the shadowbringers trailer ?
It's the drk artifact gear
Their lv80 job gear
You get it from a vendor after finishing the tank role quests and doing enough msq
Trailers always use that expansions job gear
Oh ok thanks
ive seen people have a little gear icon in the corner of their hotbar icons. how can i do that?
Oh that's macro icon
is Ostensibly Special Timeworn Map more valuable than most maps?
They guarantee a portal
ah yeah i thought it was, but how do i make it appear?
You make the macro in the macro menu then drag and drop the icon to the hotbar
i have an ability, and then a macro version of this ability as its own hotbar slot. but the gear isnt appearing
i want a gear on it so i can tell them apart
these specifically. one is macro, the other is not
yet there is no gear icon on the macro one.
The moogle event page also gives 2 per 30 tomes. Is it stackable unlike regular maps?
I think so

Can these be done with the roulette system? (1-49 dungeons, 51 - 59 dungeons, 80 dungeons)
Then why are you here (Sorry, couldn't help myself)
Yes
If you get them in the roulette

Linkshell quesiton, do you have to always enter a command each time you wnt to talk or reply? Or can you hve a linksell open communication in a tab similar to FC?
If I switch from Maelstrom to Adders, does that mean I can no longer wear equipment from the Allied Seals shop, like the Storm Elite Coat?
when does Aetherpool gear change red?

I need advice. I play on NA, but I am from EU. Originally made an account there because of people that got me into the game, but we do not play together much anymore. I wanted to get into hard content at this point, but because I play when its like 1 pm in NA, its obviously very hard, almost impossible to find people to do savage with. I was wondering if there is a better way to find people to do savage with, or if I should give up and level an EU alt.
you could transfer to EU
why not transfer out ?
Because I am poor, pretty much 😄
oof yee can relate to that
But the thought of going through ARR again is hell XD
I do not even want to become some hardcore raider or anything. I just want to try and clear a few

not really a way to teach that, its more muscle memory i think
unless you take away his mouse lol
Controller maybe?
what are the drk legs which have a red skirt thing going down in the middle
Probably not game question but where to report if i got some scam message from FF discord?
message kupobot
if you pre order endwalker you get 30% exp buff?
Thank you
An earring with that effect yes
earrings
Hi friends!! I was wondering if any of us has finished ultimates?
I just started about a month ago and I’m hoping to finish all the ultimates (eventually) 
what does "deal unaspected dmg" mean?
Means it's magic damage
Magic damage without any specific damage type
Q: what is the popular l50 dungeon people run for poetics?
or is that not a thing anymore
do you mean Praetorium?
cuz its the only level 50 dungeon I can think off that gives a lot of poetics
MSQ roulette gives a huge chunk of poetics.
But I wouldn't spam it.
You're better off just doing other things like Beast Tribes.
praetorium is soo long,..lol.,
Just do any other 50 dungeon
yeah,.Beast tribes I guess,..I can burn through them so fast tho.
I am looking for a website that would tell you what things you need to make to get to the next level of your class/job (how many of this i need to craft to get from level 1 to level 2)
Ive looked but cant find anything specific
I don't think one exists
are there any permanent collectible gathering nodes?
Just craft what you can that’s near your level
do you want a level 1-80 crafters guide?
yes but something that shows each level not just something in increments of 5 levels
What gatherer and what color scrip?
also I guess what level range
irrelevant
there isnt a guide like that
ok ty
for early crafting levels all you do is craft 1 of everything
once you get to level 20 you do ishgardian restoration
Ishgardian Restoration and relic guideBy I’nanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv Updated to 5.5 OverviewCraftingExpert Crafting and rankingsGatheringKupo FortuneMacros for the Restoration Skysteel tools(Relic) Ishgard Restoration is a new...
for example, botanist's Shadowbringers nodes would be Rarefied Night Pepper for white scrip and Rarefied Bright Flax for yellow scrip
I know that much, but are there any nodes that are always up
those are always up.
They're in small groups rather than one single timed node^^
They're worth less than the ones that are around all the time, so just a heads up on that
ahh
i can just do custom deliveries if I ever need scrips
and all I want mentor for is to get NN back to recruit people for leveling my alt jobs 
no wonder most mentors are useless...
are there rotations for a level 80 miner?
not really
I wouldn't say there's a rotation, really, I kind of react based on what reward the node gives me
or maybe a macro O:
most of the time you dont even use GP unless its a boosted node

You have to click the thing you want so
If you want more items you just use pick clean
hell, most of the time your rotation is "pick clean", press auto gathering, and click what you want

Why does limited leveling roulette never really work?
?
It’s for Premade Party
It has to be full premade?
Yes
Ah I see
Leveling Roulette needs 4 people
Is there a way to make a boss status appear first on party list?
Like the one that gets applied to the party
What is she wearing? Garlandtools doesnt have the "Scrip Exchange" NPCs
oh I see
are you certain you typed it correctly?
Are there any magitek pieces aside from aug ironworks gear?
the thing is tho, that there's 1 npc that comes up for the initial search but if you click on alternate instances
it brings up all of them
OH I see
talk to one of the mentor npcs who's names I'm blanking on
the green ones with the sprout symbol
The Smith
yes
I mean to see how many of the 300 I have

The Scavean gear has similar, though not as pronounced effects.
aahh

- oof
Is it possible to give commendations in pre made parties? And if so, how about unsynced
You can't commend people you partied with outside the duty
Only the randos
No commend farming here
So is the only thing worth going for in the treasure trove the new coat?
rip mount. ty
It's the only unique item
If you don't want anything else, spend spare tomes on the maps
And watch the price of map items fucking die 
So what lvl are the maps usually
Is there a Gatherer mount? I know that the Pegasus is a crafter untradeable one, but is there a gatherer one?
No
aww
Y’all
Is there a way to reset or decrease potion or consumable cooldown timers?
Can I switch my SE acc off my psn
To like another account or remove it since imma get on pc anyway
Nope
no, but you can play using the same account on both platforms, assuming you own the game on both
or are there Max Cordials or higher?
whats the current cheapest subscription card?
Is there a level 50 boost?
No, unless you mean story
why do you want a level 50 boost anyway?
to boost
you skip the questline
30 days afaik
and level 50 doesnt take long
i already finished the game
why would you not boost to 70
Just lvl to 50 dude, it’s not hard
because a level 50 boost would be cheaper
it'd also be pointless
but, you skip the entire level 1-50 questline
And leveling yourself is free
....
!faq skips
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Hello friends! I f**cked up and set my ffxiv launcher to use the new style but I need to switch back, however, I can't do that in the new style launcher because the new launcher style doesn't display for me. Does anyone know where I might be able to locate that setting in a file somewhere in text format that I can edit to change it back to the old dark style launcher?
oh? I thought that the level 70 skips also skip story
nope
They dont
Story skips are a different thing
Anyhow, is there a level 50 boost?
No
no
As we said
no
No
So whats a good use for white gatherers scrips? I have Aesthetes gear already so dont need the scrip gear
actually nvm, the Landsaint set looks great as glam

What's the best way to farm Tomestones of revelations?
expert, trial, alliance raid, and normal raid roulettes
Do your roulettes then hunt trains
^
Thinking of buying XIV again on my mac since bootcamp doesn't work on the m1 chip and stuff, do I have to buy all the DLC's again or how does it work. Can I just buy the starter edition again or something?
Starter edition + shadowbringers/complete edition for everything again
even endwalker?
cant you just get the EW preorder
If you want to do endwalker on multiple different platforms yes
Licenses for each platform is separate
When do major patches come out? ( X.1, X.2 etc.)
Every 3 months, right?
Roughly
So like
ooh I see
Give or take
cool
I just assume I can't login to my character if I don't have like SHB
You can
If you're in a arr zone or heavensward zone
If you own starter edition only
hmm maybe when the game goes on sale again
idk if the mac edition goes on sale
it's just the SE one right
At minimum sounds like SE and EW or the complete edition by itself
i dont think your level gets capped to 60 if you were above it
You won't get anymore xp past it
Does melded stats show on the gears stat block?
You see stat caps while melding
cant actually see that as pentamelded gear... was wondering if the gear stat block actually shows the meld bonus
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
It's shown like this while melding
What do you guys do with your Allagan tomestone of poetics?
!faq poetics
im missing 40k exp what can i do really fast? Does frontline roulette give you any exp if you already done it ?
yes I know, but if a piece of gear is pentamelded, you no longer see it on that window
I feel like I need to graduate from 2 hotbars
3 hotbars (at least) is a pretty agreed upon metric, as a start for most combat jobs
and 4 for crafters, if you have a hotbar for macros
Not counting whatever vertical/other hotbars you have shoved elsewhere for non combat things. Limit Breats, Teleports, Macros, Mounts, etc
how do i buy endwalker early access
i dont see it in mogstation
i want the exp ring
is ironworks better than the level 50 job quest gear
Yes.
anyone know what you get for endwalker collector edition?
oh it's higher ilvl, didn't know
Mount, minion and reaper weapon glamour
Mount, minion, glam weapon
Digital is a download
It also has better stats all around, it's just that all the gear you get from artifact onward no longer has its item level concurrent with the player level, so that's about the point when you start paying attention to it.
anyone can shed some light on this locked roulette?
Is the Zhloe Aliapoh bonus item set for the whole week or does it change?
just finishhed all msq quests and yet i cant go there
Twinning and akademia
is there a bot command for them ?
You can just look up where to unlock them
!faq contentunlock
so i recently cleared up last week's wonderous trials, should i grab the timeworn map?
If you don't need the gil or the poetics, I don't see why not.
Heck, even if you didn't want to do the map, you can easily sell it for even more than that platinum gold piece would get you.
dont even know what the map's for
any way to increase this?
So... have you done the Treasure Map quest?
for the Nier raids, is it still once a week drops? I remember when they came out you'd have to wait a week after running it before being able to get drops again
You can use the treasure maps to dig up treasure chests.
Fight all the adds that spawn, and claim a random prize.
Sometimes you get junk like random materials.
raid lockout for this tier is gone
Other times you get rare materials that can only be found in treasure map chests.
Paradigm's Breach is the one to farm for gear right?
These materials can sell for several hundred thousand gil on the player market.
On even rarer occasions, a portal to a special treasure dungeon will open.
I figured the Nier one was better since it requires item level 495 and Eden Eternity is 485
Eeek, I think I am stuck in Boszja. I can't accept the next quest, it's red. And killing things does not give me mettle
never
or i might have and forgotten about it
critical engagements and fates
How do i decide which data center / server to play on?
you got friends that play?
I'd be happy if they did
I don't see any on the map
nope
Speaking of which, what's the chance of getting tomeworn artefacts from PotD ?
Did 2 runs and nothing
if not go by reccomended data center, then if any reccomended worlds
Do skirmishes and critical engagements, that's how you get mettle
what datacenter did it reccomend you
um primal is highlighted, so i guess primal?
ok so your on the north american servers
Crystal
Crystal has preferred worlds
so 100% more xp from every source
very pog buff
It would be stupid to pass on that
it might be better for ping no?
im in kentucky so my ping isnt awful for any part of the country in most games
ah ok
Go with Crystal
well then choose a prefer world, i do want to say this, crystal isnt exactly known for its raiding community
aether is, but its pretty saturated
primal is the middle ground
im not really worried about end end game, im just playing to have a game for when i dont wanna play competitive games
thank you for info
then go with prefered worlds on crystal
raid is eh. crystal has less raids but the quality of highest high end raids is reportedly better.
It's inconsequential
if I want to do second coils of Bahamut t4 unsynced for the story, are there still mechanics I should learn? or am I good to go blind and get carried
Latter
oke thanks :D
Are Khloe’s Silver certificates worth saving for Endwalker? Like will they presumably update the gear she exchanges?
I keep seeing that people level their alt in POTD but thought that exp in there is different and doesnt transfere to outside of POTD. Can someone clarify?
You beat a set of floors, and get real exp
Oh nice. Should I go ahead level my lvl 14 Conjurer there? Levequest and fates seem to take a long time.
Once you hit 15 you can spam dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
tyty
are hard variants of dungeons in the duty roulette pool
yes
50/60/70 yeah
non 50/60/70
and non 80
so 51-59 etc?
yehhh
oh
when we call spam highest leveling guide
interesting how that works lol
it means you avoid those 50/60/70/80
cause it exchange the exp you get with poetics
it's a post msq dungeon usually there when you already max level on that expansion
so they give tomes to gear you up instead of giving exp
yeh
they give both, but the exp isn't as much as leveling dungeon
so if you are lv 60, you would want to do lv 59 dungeon instead of lv 60
ohh
yeh, it's scales based on your level
never knew thanks for that
that's why doing roulette is only once a day, you would want that bonus
after the bonus gone, the scale reward is also gone
yeh
does it scale off of how much the dungeon would give normally
ill look up exact percentage next time
ty
uhm
You can still get bonus xp from playing the requested class
A long shot question
Does anyone know how big FFXIV endwalker will be, specifically, for PS4 and/or PS5?
no, lol
general difficulty, I think
you can only get the bonus once a day
So that (tank/healer needed) bit is only once a day as well?
if you mean role in need bonus, it's very small and they are usually just double your gil received
yeh
Ye, that’s what I was referring to
Adventurer in Need can be received every time but it's a pitiful bonus
I wish it gave bonus poetics
what's the chance for resistance weapons thingies dropping from PotD ?
definitely not worth queueing just for it if you already got the roulette bonus
It’s scary for me as a guy learning tank
I can screw up more in Satasha then Haukke Manor
yeh np, just take it slow
I’m still trying to learn how to pull properly
Though I also got 3 accoms last night despite vrooming without tank stance lmao
yeh, make sure it's on in dungeon and just spam aoe fam
And going the wrong way a few times….
just make sure you don't ever pull with provoke
low
and it only gets "worth it" after 100
Yeah that's what you want to do
Tomahawk has an enmity bonus that stacks with your tank stance bonus
Wesker’s tank guide really helps
So pulling with Tomahawk will give you a nice big lead on whatever you hit with it
It’s funny because I had less trouble learning Healer
Is it a higher chance the higher you get ?
yeah
but it gets to a point where it's just not worth it
cause 10 floors takes forever for just 1 memory
and a CHANCE at one at that
better to do DR for timeworn artifacts imo
A chance to get a resistance weapon versus that 8 hr grind for one though
it's not a chance for a wepaon
8 hr grind?
Oof
you can get a guaranteed in half the time
DR takes like 30 minutes and you have to do it 5 times
40 is a better estimate
At least for eu 
huhhh really
DR is longer than 30 min yeah
i remember it was being like 22 mins average lols
and good combos
Speedruns can be as low as like 25 yeah
You can clear in 20 if your party knows what theu’re doing
30 is probably an underestimate for DF though that's true
You're expecting 24 people to bring a damage essence
like 22 mins avg when I did my GNB (the last one)
Though DPSing adds a lot of queue times
or maybe the timer I had was wrong or something???
Are you sure you weren't looking at time left?
