welcome :3

[cunning anchor]

So for the next patch I heard HQ items are being removed

Does that include weapons or just items you gather

So like I can’t craft high level weapons anymore?

[twilit arch]

just gathered items

Got ya thanks

[honest anvil]

depends on your build

crit mage, fast mage

[zinc orbit]

5.5 BLM BiS

Speed 3655 SpS Tier
Crit 2030 SPS Tier
SMN/RDM-Friendly BiS (can use the SMN/RDM BiS w/o swapping melds):
Use the "Speed 3655 SpS" Tier set for BLM, and use SMN/RDM BiS on the other casters. Shared pieces between the sets have no meld conflicts.

Pros/Cons of the BiS:
"Speed BiS": higher base output, but less variance. Has some volatility in terms of MP ticks in UI
"Crit BiS": slightly lower base output, but higher variance. Does not run into similar MP tick issues as with the SpS set

See here for alternatives both with and without relic, or save a copy to min-max your own custom set. Generally recommended to maximize ilvl when possible while gearing up.

[outer lodge]

I wanna do fast mage but dont really have the gear

[valid kite]

does server transferring within the same datacenter remove you from all linkshells or can you keep the crossworld ones?

[outer lodge]

so i just did the crit my spell speed is about 1783

[honest anvil]

if you’re working towards bis then can always go back to change stats

only a few poetics

[outer lodge]

this is basically what i chose for my stats

[meager pumice]

So should i sell my old gear or is there any place to store it?

[boreal storm]

Glam dresser if you like the appearance

[uneven lance]

I just upgraded my shire gear to augmented shire gear. Is it worth desynthesixing old gear or just selling?

[boreal storm]

Wait why do you still have normal shire gear, how long have you been playing

[uneven lance]

hmm I’m level 64 PLD. Not sure where else to get gear

I just came back from early 2019*

[gray crescent]

Whats your camera angle doing savage ?

asking for opinion

[honest anvil]

legacy

[boreal storm]

You can just buy the augmented gear in non current expansions, that’s why I asked.

[uneven lance]

Oh no I spent my poetics 😔

[boreal storm]

It still costs poetics

[livid dragon]

My account was locked for suspicious activity , changed password and got the one time token. Still can't log in , is there a time frame that my account is locked?

[honest anvil]

if it’s a recent thing .. might consider turning off your vpn

lots of people i know have that issue recently

[sly tendon]

is it possible to repeat POTD 51-60 like 1-10?

[honest anvil]

yes, delete the save file

you’ll get the option to start again from 51

[sly tendon]

oooo not forcing from 1-10 again? sweet

its like a check point then

[honest anvil]

ye

go farm that exp o/

[steep egret]

repeating potd 51-60 over and over again for alt jobs is a thing

especially DPS jobs that have longer dungeon queue times

[sly tendon]

yeee thanksss

Can I as a trial player, level Leatherworker and grind for crafting the Leather Jacket?

[honest anvil]

[edgy quartz]

Is there any best practices when joining or forming a map group? like have a certain amount or something.
are the event treasure maps good for moneymaking?

[boreal storm]

I mean there’s gonna be new maps for endwalker

And the moogle maps are gonna cause prices to drop

[neat patrol]

So, I'm assuming it's about a mil gil then? Idk what all the bottom stuff means.

[boreal storm]

170k x how many are being sold

[cobalt badge]

is there still the 30 min lock out for being the first to leave duty after the 10 minutes?

[faint flare]

Event maps are guaranteed portals so it's alot of money

Usually people try to have at least 1-3 maps cause that's usually how many you can have on your person normally

[warped nest]

Since it buffs healing action, it also include self heals right?

[faint flare]

It says healing actions so it's all healing skills

!faq healingup

[zinc orbit]

Healing Up Buffs

There's two notable types of healing up buffs in the game. The most common for healers to have is written as "increases healing magic potency." Skills with this phrasing buff the outgoing healing done from GCD heals only by the person(s) with this buff applied, and it does not affect oGCD heals.

Healer actions with this effect:
• Neutral Sect (AST)
• Fey / Seraphic Illumination (SCH | applies to the whole party)
• Dissipation (SCH)
• Temperance (WHM)

The other type is written as "HP recovery via healing actions." Skills with this phrasing increase the amount of incoming heals on the target with this buff and the increase is applied to ALL heals, including oGCDs. With the exception of Asylum, these skills come from non-healer roles, so it's helpful to know how they function.

Actions with this effect:
• Asylum (WHM | Players must be inside the bubble to receive buff)
• Mantra (MNK | AOE buff)
• Nature's Minne (BRD)
• Thrill of Battle (WAR)
• Improvisation (DNC | AOE buff)

[honest anvil]

wait, does that mean tanks’ 123 combo can recover more hp under asylum?

[warped nest]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes cause they have cure potency on them

[honest anvil]

mind blown

[warped nest]

From what I understand now, it is simply heal received up buff on party member

While the first one is heal spell up self buff

[woeful breach]

What can tombstones of poetic be spent on besides lvl 50 armor?

[solemn jewel]

Lvl 60 armor

They got an armor set every 10 lvls

[woeful breach]

70?

[solemn jewel]

Ye

Scaevan is the set called

[woeful breach]

so armor is main thing for poetics

[solemn jewel]

Well and weapon, yea

[dapper oyster]

the maintenance, is it ended already or havent started?

[solemn jewel]

[deft yarrow]

69dungeon gives more exp than 70 dungeons?

[quartz viper]

Hey, I'm playing on PC with an Xbox controller, but for some reason the game client detects 3 other controllers that I don't recognise.
And to make things more annoying, any time my xbox controllers connection has a slight issue, the game client will default back to one of those unknown controllers again

Any idea how to find an eradicate them? Or at least stop the game from changing what controller it's reading from?

[quartz viper]

Levelling dungeons give more XP than end of expansion dungeons, typically

[deft yarrow]

kk thanks ❤️

[grand pecan]

is it possible to do duties that you havent unlocked by entering a party of a oerson who had completed it?

[quartz viper]

No, everyone in a party has to have it unlocked to enter

[clear cove]

theres maintinence in about an hour right?

[minor fulcrum]

Yes, 12pm PST to 3am PST

[vivid bough]

Can someone explain retainers and how they work?

i read the blurb but i forgot what it said

[steel canopy]

Btw what gear tends to be BiS? Raid or HQ pentamelds?

[minor fulcrum]

DoH/L its hq pentamelded aesthetes

[jade quartz]

Create a retainer by speaking to the retainer vocate in any city, you can have up to two for free.

They function primarily as your item bank, each retainer having 175 inventory slots.
They are also the means by which you sell items on the player marketboard--each retainer has 20 marketboard sale slots.

You can also send them on ventures to gather items for you.

[jade quartz]

Mixture of raid and augmented tomestone

[minor fulcrum]

DoW/M it's going to be your shb relic and a mix of augmented crypt and edenmorn

[jade quartz]

Crafted gear is for early progression when a new raid tier releases.

And for quick catchup.

[vivid bough]

That is a really cool idea. I'm new to traditional MMOs (come from Destiny, so its not very similar imo), so idk if this a staple of the genre, but it is very cool.

How does levelling them and ventures work?

[boreal storm]

Did you unlock ventures

Because that quest explains it

[last mural]

I never did Diadem... don't know how to get there, but my DoL/DoH are almost all lv 80... do i still need to go there?

[jade quartz]

Ventures are unlocked with a separate sidequest, you level them by sending them on ventures

and thereby unlock higher level ventures

you also have to gear them up for this

that's it

[vivid bough]

no i havent

i havent made a retainer yet at all because i didnt understand it/running thru msq

[boreal storm]

Design character, give personality, give name, profit

[jade plover]

Is it possible to freely explore the nier raid areas somehow? Explorer Mode is blocked for those three.

[vivid bough]

ill do it

[jade plover]

I know we did it during the questline at some point

[last mural]

Yes. Just revisit those locations

walk to them

[jade plover]

Excellent, thank you.

[last mural]

i don't think it's possible to walk through the 3rd raid though?

I wouldn't know, my progress is still gated behind the weekly, so if we could after the weeklies, i wouldn't know

[jade plover]

ah, having the first and second is good enough

[river vortex]

Im confused by time zones, so how long until the maintenance?

[last mural]

56 mins

[river vortex]

ahhh so its like right now

is there an auto run button?

tip, type the time, then what timezone its from into google, itll convert to your local time automatically
e.g for this maintenance, type this into google:
12am pdt
and it will spit out what that is in your local time

e.g for me, it shows like

[unborn tiger]

Im having a... unique tech problem with FF

Trying to use it with Steam Link

and its like its not detecting a controller and going properly into controller mode in-game, so the buttons just do random stuff

Its treating controller inputs on the steam link like Mouse and keyboard inputs

[wheat plume]

lvl 50 blue quests says I need Dirty Rotten Azulmagia

what's that?

[formal condor]

google helps you

[last mural]

It's the 25th Masked Carnival stage

[cursive ridge]

masquerade stage

[last mural]

or was it 20th?

[steep egret]

its the storyline, you have to beat that guy in the carnival

[formal condor]

25th

[steep egret]

there are specific mechanics for him, since he uses reflective shields and lots of AoE's ,etc

may wanna read up on it if you're getting stuck, check the wiki

[last mural]

Basically u need at least 1 physical GCD spell, and a movement spell (e.g. Loom) to have a chance of defeating him

[wheat plume]

yeah, I just found it's one of the fights in the list

[cursive ridge]

loom is so finicky right now, i can't wait for the new endwalker placable target spell changes

[steep egret]

in the story, they expect you to basically be working your way up to his fight

[last mural]

i basically did 10 stages for Moon Flute, then skipped straight for him

but it doesn't hurt to clear all the stages one by one if you want the rewards

especially when BLU's only Raise spell (that doesn't kill themself) is gotten through completing all 30 masked carnival stages

[last mural]

Yeah, that was annoying. What i did was Swiftcast it, then manually cast it again immediately, since i couldn't be bothered to judge the proper distance

Doesn't help that meteor's range is barely within Loom's range, making it hard to have any significant degree of error

[patent citrus]

you'll need the res if you want to progress to savage blu

[wheat plume]

does he damages me when touching? or does he do any attack without telegraph and casting bar?

[last mural]

Most of his attacks are telegraphed

[wheat plume]

I was doing fine with water canon and J Kick, avoiding all his AOEs, but he hit me 2 times

[cursive ridge]

he does a big telegraph attack but gives you like -90% slow

so you have to have a teleport

[wheat plume]

he took half my HP without a telehgraph

[last mural]

The first stage he is vulnerable to magic spells, but reflects physical spells
The 2nd act he is vulnerable to physical spells, but reflects magical spells

So if u used Jkick during the first act, u take damage

And if u used Water Cannon during 2nd act, u take dmg

[rugged flicker]

Fucking hell, Garlean synthetic fiber took a nosedive in value.

[patent citrus]

has always been cheap

bozjan is very popular content back then and you only need 1 per person

[rugged flicker]

At one point it was in six figure range on my server.

[cursive ridge]

huh

[last mural]

7 mins

[wheat plume]

the acts are like phases during the fight?

[last mural]

Yes

i suggest u read up a guide on how to deal with him

To save u the trouble

[rugged flicker]

It wasn't cheap a few months ago, I can tell you that.

Got like 200,000 gil for one.

from 1-31

if you ever stuck in one of the puzzle

[wheat plume]

It's kinda fun, so I'll try to enjoy it doing blind, if all his attacks are telegraphed then I've got it

[cursive ridge]

did they say the reason for the maintenance?

[last mural]

His 3rd act has a telegraph, but u're given no way to deal with it without the spell Loom

Meaning if u don't have Loom (or Flying frenzy maybe), u can't win no matter what

[uneven lance]

Just want to say I’m having a blast being back to Eorzea after a few years. Thanks to you all for being patient with my questions. Thank you so much!

[wheat plume]

do i get checkpoint after each act?

[last mural]

Nope

[formal condor]

there is no checkpoint

die at any time, u start over

[honest anvil]

it’s a lot more simple that guides and people say; go in, die a few times and clear o/

[cold river]

now we wait for the servers to come back up so i can attempt to buy a house

[wheat plume]

what happens if I have some piece of gear ilvl 400 and others ilvl 50, overall I have like ilvl 250, but if I enter a lvl 50 content, is my total ilvl what is reduced to 130, or each piece of gear independently?

[rugged flicker]

So have they shown any zones from 6.0 outside of the cities?

[cursive ridge]

now what do i do for three hours

[rugged flicker]

Because the cities are all that I've seen.

[warped nest]

@wheat plume each gear

[honest anvil]

there’s a dungeon showcase

[opaque anvil]

They've shown one open area outside of Radz, iirc

[cursive ridge]

isn't the training dummy showcase outside radz-at-han?

[wheat plume]

do i need to beat the job quest lvl 50 to obtain moon flute?

[rugged flicker]

That's it? None of the other major outdoor zones?

[boreal storm]

That’s how you unlock masked carnival so yeah

[cursive ridge]

Obtain Whalaqee Moon Flute Totem from Wayward Gaheel Ja in Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X:12.5 Y:12.9) after you clear 10 stages in Masked Carnivale.

[wheat plume]

I already unlocked it without finishing the questline

[patent citrus]

clear all 31 masked carnivale

for moonflute, you only need 10

so 1-10 is sufficient

[wheat plume]

any 10?

[gritty falcon]

[honest anvil]

drop rate is low is all we know

for reals?

xD

I see it sells for 3 million, u think after EW drops less people will go to bozja and its price will go up?

[honest anvil]

some did 17 relics and haven seen one ..

[cursive ridge]

if by rare skills you mean stuff like primal skills, ignore them, they're just there to do more damage, you can finish everything with just water cannon, assuming enemy is not immune to it

[wheat plume]

wow, I got it during my first 20 delubrum

[honest anvil]

depends; if based on eureka, eldthurs mount cap at 5 mil so i dont think it would go up by much

bozja and delubrum are also easier to farm so that’s another reason i wont bank on it

but then you’re on aether with a completely different economy soooo … take my JP’s market observation with lots of salt

why it doesn't show that there's a maintenance

How many times one can be rised in DR savage?

Are there any limits?

You can't be raised normally at all

You must be rezzed with a lost action

*in most instances

[remote ermine]

But its said that you can be revived in certain time ?

[slate arrow]

Pardon?

[remote ermine]

I thought there is a certain timer and healers can revive with it 🤔 but I think u got it wrong

Thanks for the clarification

[slate arrow]

no, it's gotta be a lost Arise or Lost Sacrifice

Or healer lb3

[raven star]

There's no limit, its basically till everyone runs out of Arise/Sacrifice @remote ermine

Lb3 is the only other way to rez

[remote ermine]

Oh that's good to know too so healer preparation is really needed

[raven star]

Took us 76 arise attempts on 1 person one time, it's not a guaranteed rez

Its not that bad compared to release now, just have a lot of Arises and ur all set

[slate arrow]

I can see why you want the expanded lost holster

[neat patrol]

What's the maintenance for, like, anything new or changed, or just fixes and stability?

[slate arrow]

fixes and stability mostly

[neat patrol]

Because I have had some server DCs in the past week, and players/mobs freeze in their animations

[slate arrow]

since y'know it wasn't long ago since the servers we're congested 24/7

[remote ermine]

Thanks for the info guys

can anyone suggest me a quick way to get blue crafters scripts for HW relics? i have never touched crafting in my life :/

[hard aurora]

well

crafting is the fast way lol

youll have to buy your way unfortunatly

[boreal storm]

You get da yellow scrips

Buy da blue token

[sly tendon]

do i get these yellow scripts from crafting like anything?

i just feel like using poetics for crystal sands is a bit dumb :/

[patent citrus]

you'll need crafter level'd at least

lv 80 is better

[boreal storm]

You have to buy umbrite anyway

[sly tendon]

yeah i was buying umbrite and Superior Enchanted Ink and Thavnairian Mist

like poetics r going so fast lol

[patent citrus]

yeah can easily reach 20k if you don't use the blue scrips

[sly tendon]

i guess in a sense +- 2 weeks?

if pure poetics lol

[honest anvil]

orrr you can buy the primal stuff if you have spare gil o/

probably still a cheaper option if you havent touched crafting

alternatively unsync and farm their extremes

you aren't suppose to lose money from leveling crafters, you'll gain more gil

[sly tendon]

actually not a bad idea

honestly i just duno where to begin

for crafting and getting these yellow seals lol

yeah, you can't access lv 101 if you died on your trip from 1-100

[boreal storm]

Not if you want the achievement

[sly tendon]

11k = 1 sand, need minimum 60 sand so at least 600k lol

[native belfry]

But in general, there is good loot on higher floors?

Even if done with party?

[honest anvil]

good luck o/

but that is soo .. cheap

or relatively cheap

[sly tendon]

considering the time and sanity needed

i might actually consider it

LOl

i mean, after this step...the last 2 steps r not that difficult

[patent citrus]

yeh, if you like the look go for it

relics are like that, need time, resources and patience

[umbral dune]

the middle part is the biggest grind

[sly tendon]

its true

pure poetics take prob 2+ weeks at that stage

[umbral dune]

like I would rather spend 700k gil for 8 thavnairian onions on the market then to gather million of gil, buying a house, cross-breeding to get the right seed then finally get the product

your mind sanity is more important at some point

[sly tendon]

fair enough

if we visit other servers we can buy from their market board right?

[umbral dune]

yes

[sly tendon]

thats one way to save a few bucks lol thanks

[native belfry]

How does saving work in potd? can I leave and save even if on 160th floor per se? when the boss is killed? or the second you enter after 50 you gotta continue?

[cursive ridge]

it auto saves after you kill a boss on the zeroeth floor

if you die you return to that checkpoint, right after boss kill

if you create a new save, you can choose to start on 1 or 51, if you killed level 50 boss

i dont know if leaving in the middle of the 10set counts as a death for the title, but you will start again on the checkpoint right after boss kill when you return

[scarlet hinge]

I heard they are going to change the terms of service to stop people from boosting

But what kind of boosting are they talking about

[agile laurel]

they said they will be looking into revising the ToS to stop people using PF incorrectly

that is all they said

nobody knows more

[cursive ridge]

i haven't seen a single advertisement from PF or /say in main cities after i installed the "No soliciting" plugin for dalamud

[scarlet hinge]

U mean like paying gil for a boost in pf?

[tropic flame]

basically paying for clears

that sort of thing

[scarlet hinge]

no matter the currency ?

real and ingame?

[agile laurel]

i don't mean anything, that is what they said and all they said

there is no more info

anything more than that is speculation

[umbral dune]

there is no way to prevent people organize clear on place like discord while accepting payment as gil or cash so that just what they trying to do, does not mean they can put a stop to it

[elder pendant]

could anyone help me where and what to buy in to get started in the game? ive finally decided to play it but i see a new expansion and now im not sure what to get.

also is this the best deal right now or should i wait for a 50% off?

[cursive ridge]

don't need to buy anything, start a free trial, it's veeeery generous and has no time limit

[winged iris]

When does maintenance end?

[cursive ridge]

should be in 1 hr 15 min

[winged iris]

Thank you 🙏🏻

I'm playing the trial right now with a SE account on the xivlauncher. Can I buy the base game on steam and play with the same account?

[regal pawn]

Yes

Iirc

[pallid ferry]

So I could also just install the steam trial and use the same account?

[sly tendon]

how often can we hop worlds

is there a time limit

[agile laurel]

no

[jade quartz]

You would have to buy the game on Steam and register it to your existing trial account

this is the only time when it's possible to migrate from non-Steam to Steam accounts

[sly tendon]

ooic thanks

[kind burrow]

Why cant you put this gloves on a Blue Mage? For some reason i cannot apply them as glamour.

[gloomy mortar]

Is the maintenance over?

[frank fox]

Are they lvl 80?

[cursive ridge]

can you normally equip them as a BLU?

if not, you can't use them

[patent citrus]

wow, not a single preferred server

!!

[kind burrow]

I dont know but they are for all classes and lvl 13, they ARE strictly for female character but as you see i am one

[patent citrus]

post the tooltip of that glove here

[pallid ferry]

aah okay that's nice

[kind burrow]

I cant manage to get a screenshot- is it ok if I link their gamescape link?

[patent citrus]

ok

[cursive ridge]

that or its name

[jade quartz]

is it higher level than the gear equipped to that slot?

you cannot glam higher level items over lower level items.

[kind burrow]

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

[kind burrow]

Omg thank you XD I've been trying to understand what it is for 15m and I cant believe I forgot that XD

[patent citrus]

then your original gear is lower than 13

[kind burrow]

This is embarrassing X)

[warm snow]

For the record you can't apply that head piece to blu either

It's paladin af armor as far as I can see

[cursive ridge]

palading as fuck?

[kind burrow]

I know, Unfortunately I will have to do without it

[warm snow]

Just use the slime crown instead

Fits a blu way better and the event is still going I think

[warm snow]

Boooooo

[patent citrus]

You can look for a variety of that tiara

[warm snow]

No puff puff for you!

[elder pendant]

should i buy now or test out the trial first?

[cursive ridge]

no reason not to use free trial first

it is essentially the starter edition with some minor restrictions

[warm snow]

The free trial is everything in the base game with social restrictions

Go nuts it has unlimited playtime

[elder pendant]

so i can get every class?

[cursive ridge]

yes

[warm snow]

Just the ones available in hw and arr

[cursive ridge]

well, the ones from the starter edition

[warm snow]

No red mage, samurai, gunbreaker or dancer

Or reaper/sage in a few weeks

It's what, 24 days, til endwalker

[elder pendant]

is that the scythe class i saw on the site?

[warm snow]

If its a scythe that's reaper

Starts at level 70 anyways, trial level cap is 60

[fresh furnace]

Question about Bozja content gear rewards - In terms of getting "BiS" for Bozja content, where does the Platinum Coin gear fall in that heirarchy? They don't seem to have the Bozja Haste effect on them, so that means the Laws Order gear is better there, yeah? From upgrading the Delubrum gear?

[warm snow]

It doesn't

[stable knot]

Is the maintenance over yet...? Since the bot kept on being denial if there is any 🤣

[warm snow]

Bis for bozja is augmented laws order

And even that isn't necessarily good for all jobs as haste fucks with rotations

[elder pendant]

which class should i pick when starting?

[warm snow]

It really doesn't matter

You can play all the jobs on one character

[cursive ridge]

you can play all classes and jobs on the same character

[warm snow]

Pick whatever you like the look of

[cursive ridge]

swapping is as easy as equipping that job's weapon

[snow surge]

Do you know what roles you enjoy?

[warm snow]

And if you aren't enjoying it you can pick up a new job once you do your level 10 quest for the starting job

[drowsy hornet]

pick by starting city instead

[snow surge]

Technically I don't think it's a starting job

Jobs are the ones that come after the starting things

[jade quartz]

The terms are mostly used interchangably.

[warm snow]

Especially since classes cease existing after arr

[snow surge]

Oh? Good to know.

[jade quartz]

the distinction only really matters when talking about the level 30 upgrade process

or content that prevents base classes from joining (ie pvp)

[drowsy hornet]

you get the starting job experience each time you get a new job, but first part of the MSQ is split by city.
Can it be played for different cities on the same char?

[warm snow]

No

[stable knot]

Since we can always pick other jobs later, just choose the one you really want to try the most based on your curiosity and depends on do you like how simple it is or not

[drowsy hornet]

unless it's rogue, then pick any job that start at Limsa Lominsa so you can switch at the earliest opportunity.

[fierce stone]

Is there a trick to getting enough gil for equipment as you level up? I'm lvl 12 and can rarely afford upgrades in the shop with gil from quests.

[warm snow]

A) you really don't need to constantly upgrade

B) class job quests will give gear upgrades

C) dungeon gear once you unlock those at level 15 msq

[fierce stone]

Ah, so I'm close.

Is there dungeonfinder at 15?

[warm snow]

Yes

You also 100% do not ever need to go buying gear outside of that one point where they make you buy a hat

[cursive ridge]

and maybe you'll want to purchase a piece or two for crafting/gathering between ARR and HW jump, but you can do without if you persevere

[umbral dune]

hall of the novice role quest give free gear as well

[drowsy hornet]

yeah, there is hall of the novice representative in the city's inn that will give you training for party/dungeon mechanics and rewards gear that will last you for a while

[agile laurel]

you're also guided directly there before your first dungeon

[last mural]

Technically your first dungeon is unlocked at lv 16

You could run guildhest, but the xp is pretty bad

[agile laurel]

for anyone not new to MMOs/video games in general, hall of the novice tends to come across as sucking eggs

but the gear is good at least

[drowsy hornet]

guildhests give a bonus when you complete them for the first time as a job(or is it role), right? I remember it being decent chunk for the time investment.

[flat basalt]

When do you get more points on your wonderful trails?

[cursive ridge]

completing a duty in a group with somebody who's doing it for the first time

[flat basalt]

Ah

[cursive ridge]

that also applies to you

[flat basalt]

I had 9 points yesterday...

Do they not reset?

[cursive ridge]

they do not reset

[flat basalt]

Dang

I wish I knew

[cursive ridge]

you continue earning them even if you dont have a book on you

cap of 9

[flat basalt]

Yeah I guess that's how I got 9

[lethal birch]

I just use them on resets

Makes it easier to fill the 9 tales up

[cursive ridge]

if you're level 80 you can do like 3-5 right away with unsync

[spiral mango]

how is ivalice raid called ? like its name in duty finder

[cursive ridge]

mmm no one online for potf

[leaden granite]

i need 4000 yellow crafter scrips in order to deck out my crafters in handking gear. i already exhausted my weekly collectables, what would be the cheapest/easiest thing to craft for the remaining 4k yellow scrips?

is there a general rule of thumb whats usually best for this?

[cursive ridge]

easiest is to wait for the next week for custom deliveries

[leaden granite]

got all crafters at lvl 70

ok easiest that can be done today

[warm snow]

Custom deliveries just reset

Like an hour ago

[leaden granite]

yea, and i did em

still need 4k tho

[cursive ridge]

i heard for level 80 some sort of alchemical syrup is considered easiest for white scrip spam, but that's not applicable to 70 i guess

[leaden granite]

mhm okay, gonna dig through the marketboards

Not the color of the bride traditionally (or groom, whoever's wearing it really)

[worn flume]

I would avoid white personally

[regal pawn]

Cherry Pink

When in doubt

Cherry Pink

[sudden mango]

what about yellow ?

[hasty musk]

I think as long as you're not wearing white you're fine

[sudden mango]

thanks a lot <33

[cursive ridge]

or you can go naked

[lilac nacelle]

Is there a way to cancel a cutscene to restart it later if your duty finder calls for you to ready up? I don't want to skip, I want to actually view it

[hasty musk]

You can view cutscenes again in inn rooms

[lilac nacelle]

not most of them

[hasty musk]

Then probably not, I don't think

[restive yarrow]

What should I do with all these company seals?I already have 600 glamours and 250 ventures

[cursive ridge]

if you're the same job as your queue you can just click 'accept' and it will cancel that you can view it from the start later

but no other way that i've found

[lilac nacelle]

yeah, that's the issue, I'm generally not in the same class

[cursive ridge]

then nope

[cursive ridge]

There's also the option to ask a crafter to meld for u

Basically have the gear u want to meld equiped along with the materia in your inventory, right click a crafter that meets the requirements, and select request meld

[olive prawn]

Is changing the color of your chocobo hard to do

[last mural]

No

You first need a stable

Which u can either buy yourself, or join an FC with a home with a stable

[olive prawn]

I have no home

Homes are so expensive

[umbral dune]

an apartment work as well

[olive prawn]

The Inn one?

[faint flare]

No an apartment

Costs 500k at the apartment buildings in housing wards

[olive prawn]

So much to do

[last mural]

Or you can join an FC with a home with a stable

it's what i did

Once u do, u can park your chocobo there, then begin feeding it fruits

to find out what to feed it to get your desired color, best use this calculator:
https://ffxivchocobo.com/en

The fruits can be simply bought from the Market Board (if u can access it) for a pretty cheap price

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, doe the RDM quests after 60 give any new actions? I found it necessary before but I am not sure if there's anything woth it after lvl 60 quest

[subtle bear]

High treason

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you!

[midnight tinsel]

@leaden ginkgo level 70 does

[heavy wadi]

it gates your level 70 ability

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I need SB for them?

[heavy wadi]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Gates?

[midnight tinsel]

Sb is stormblood

So yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry I mean shadow bringers

[midnight tinsel]

Then no

[heavy wadi]

Unless you own bought SB when it was current, you'll need to own shb now as sb comes with shb.

[leaden ginkgo]

No I only have SB for the meantime

But what does the latter lvl 60 to 70 RDM gives? I am still not sure

[midnight tinsel]

Verholy i believe

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

[twilit arch]

70 rdm gives you a gear coffer, and veryholy yes

[heavy wadi]

again, you have to do the quests if you want your level 70 rdm ability.

[leaden ginkgo]

Now I get it thanks

[restive yarrow]

Please tell me I can exchange grand company seals for allied seals?

[heavy wadi]

nope

you have to do hunts to get allied seals.

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo all level 70 job quests gate a powerful ability

And require you to be in stormblood at minimum

[rich charm]

why do i sometimes see level 50 mobs in lower level areas?

[heavy wadi]

they're hunt marks

[rich charm]

sry i'm new, what does that mean

[leaden ginkgo]

If you have clan hunts unlocked, upon killing this mob you get a special currency

Which then you can exchange for items like glamour or orchestrion scrolls or what have you

[chilly zephyr]

guys how do i mention an item on the Party Finder comment? lets say like the Wondrous Tails item

This will more than likely apply at level 80 for the upcoming reaper and sage jobs

[rustic badge]

Q: what is Eureka for? is it like PotD for leveling or Diadem for crafting? Is it recommended or can I do without?

[twilit arch]

its for the stormblood relic weapon

its optional side content

and no you can't use it for leveling alt jobs

[modest igloo]

Eureka was an old endgame area designed to be kinda like FFXI in it's oldschool design

its got cool shit but its a grind and a half

[agile laurel]

Question - if I, who have bis on every job, wanted to take a sprout through coils unsynced right now, is there specifically anything I need to know for any of it to not get walled?

[rustic badge]

ah,..thank you for clearing that up.

[agile laurel]

like, what to bring tank, what not to, what mechs still exist

[vernal urchin]

Only fights to worry about is t9 and t13

you might need a tank for t9

[agile laurel]

right

i can obviously do my rotations correctly i was just worried whether anything still served as a damage/mechanical wall

[open coral]

T9 there's only like, three classes that can truly solo it.

[agile laurel]

raw guess, paladin rdm and

[open coral]

Because you have to burst it before the mechanics.

[agile laurel]

dnc?

[open coral]

DRG, I think is the third.

[agile laurel]

Okay. So what, burst the golems and hit boss?

[open coral]

I'm not 100% on the technical side of soloing it, since I've never done so successfully.

But yeah.

You have to kill it before it can do mechanics, basically.

[boreal aurora]

anyone else have problems connect to light

[mighty robin]

can also do BLU's carnival first time + weekly challenges for allied seals

[lucid elm]

How often does FFXIV release their patches? Wondering if I should buy an apartment now or wait for Ishgard apartments

[agile laurel]

okay, i see now. seems simple

[twilit arch]

major patches are roughly every 3 mos, give or take

6.1 is guessed to be around febish

[mighty robin]

if you manage to get a house now, you can relocate to an ishgard house that opens up instantly.
but getting a house now might be..a pain

[lucid elm]

Ooooh yeah. It’s gonna be brutal. I can’t afford one anyway 😅 I need to find better ways to make money.

[mighty robin]

note if you relocate, you still have to pay a few mil to relocate.

so if you really need to save on costs, you might wanna wait. heard theres house buy changes coming

[sinful holly]

is there some sort of setting i missed on garlandtools? where i can auto set mats to either be gathered if possible or dropped by mobs instead of having to click every single one and change it?

[lucid elm]

Yeah the lottery system. I just want a place to put all my stuff, one of my retainers is bogged down with all the housing stuff I have 😅

[mighty robin]

do note you can have:
a private house
an apartment
an fc room if your fc has a house
all at the same time :D

[thorny yoke]

i mean i can solo T13 just fine as a monk

[dry night]

so you know how you use shift to use the 2nd lines shortcuts, is there a way to change the shift key to some other key?

like when you press shift and 1 it does the first one on the second line, you know

[zinc bramble]

Are you referring to hotkeys for the second hotbar? If so, all hotbar keybinds can be customized.

[mighty robin]

i believe only shift, ctrl, and alt can be used as modifier keys

[dry night]

alrighty

[mighty robin]

either one of those, or a combination

[dry night]

so is there a way to have second lines 4th skill be like R+4 for example?

[frank fox]

No

Since r can't be used as a modifier

[mighty robin]

only if you rebound your R key to alt or something, but that..would be annoying when typing lmao

[dry night]

I see

well I'll see what I'll come up with

[mighty robin]

most people use something like 12345qerfvzxc, shift+12345qerfvzxc, and that covers most loadouts in terms of space

[dry night]

ohh I havent even thought of using letters

for skills

[mighty robin]

depends how flexible your fingers are

theres also macro mice, with like 12 keys on the side or such

[bright hatch]

I use 12345tygh and then use normal, shift, ctrl

Buffs and ocgd on right side of screen normal combo on left

[vivid bough]

if i buy a weapon im not at level to use yet, can i still glam it onto what I am using

[mighty robin]

nope

[vivid bough]

i get it

can only glam if the glam item is at or below the item

[vivid bough]

but unfortunate

i dont think you need to add motion at thw back

[zinc bramble]

What do you mean by stuck?

Here is an official FAQ on installation issues: https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=67498

[naive sky]

Download the client then proceed as usual. when i click the icon to the bring up ff14. it gets stuck at the ff14 logo then stuck till an error comes up asking me to make an acc but no button whatsoever to press

alright i'll try that

[solid cedar]

nvm fixed it

The break in between both lines made it not work lol

[heavy wadi]

"/think motion" isn't necessary. It's just /think.

[last mural]

Where do people usually grind FATEs for Harrowing/Vexatious memories?

[zinc bramble]

The option with the most high level fates (to abuse higher item level for faster kills).

[upper cove]

@last mural i personally used yanxia and the lochs

Azim steppe has lots of lvl 69 cap

Yanxia top half syncs you to 70 iirc

And the bottom half isn't tough as well

[naive sky]

figured it out. had to active windows on my new pc

[lethal birch]

If I have crypt chest and legs

what's next on priority?

[zinc bramble]

The biggest upgrade

[glossy flare]

assuming you already have the weapon, which would be the very first choice, feet and gloves are next in line

but yes, if you have a slot that needs an upgrade more just pick that one

[mighty robin]

i cant do eden savages yet, new to the game still. my weapons are just aug exarchic >_>

[zinc bramble]

All the 80 gear will be from poetics in just a couple weeks. Go have fun, do whatever.

[solid cedar]

Anyone know if there is a way to have a hotbar contain different actions on different hud layouts? There's probably some setting somewhere on sharing hotbars, but can't find it.

[open coral]

Yeah, there's a "shared hotbars" setting in... I want to say character settings? In the hotbars section?

[mighty robin]

thats between jobs

i think your only option there would be to use spare hotbars and have them just always there, but hidden over each other for hud layouts

[solid cedar]

That's what I'm trying right now, but it's annoying af xD

[mighty robin]

have 1/2/3 shown for layout 1, 4/5/6 hidden, then swap around in layout 2

[solid cedar]

Why can't I just turn off sharing of hotbars lmao

that's kinda dumb if you ask me

[mighty robin]

yea not sure

its stored locally i believe

so them changing that wouldnt be any extra server load

[lavish sierra]

is it me or bozjan clusters are hard to get?

[open coral]

It's you

Just find a group farming

[mighty robin]

theres certain mobs you kill for better odds

[open coral]

You can get them easy.

[last mural]

So higher level FATES means higher chance of the memories dropping?

[lavish sierra]

doing fates and CEs is not good for clusters?

[open coral]

No. It's terrible.

[lavish sierra]

I see

[open coral]

You have to kill loose enemies not Skirmish/CE enemies for clusters.

[lavish sierra]

but rare to see people grinding mobs

[open coral]

FATE level doesn't change the drop chance. It's just a question of which zones have the smallest amount of ground to cover.

[vernal urchin]

Which mobs are best for clusters again? I know people usually kill the rank 3 mobs

[mighty robin]

the rank 3 enemies are good for clusters

[upper cove]

No. But lvl sync to 69 and 70 is a huge ilvl difference.

[mighty robin]

but usually you need a group of some sort for those

[upper cove]

You probably be taking double or triple the time needed to clear a FATE where you're synced to 69 instead of 70

[mighty robin]

note though, memories of the dying, castrum drops 5 per run each time

[lavish sierra]

just want the fast mount speed 😛

[mighty robin]

if you have that motorcycle you go a bit faster right off the bat xD

[upper cove]

If you have the motorcycle you don't need the riding map

[last mural]

I meant this

[zinc bramble]

Why not just fly?

[upper cove]

Because bozja

[mighty robin]

cant in bozja/similiar zones

[zinc bramble]

Yeah, because they aren't fun.

[mighty robin]

i think i just did the fates for that

[open coral]

Do FATEs while queued for the raids. For the HW raids, queue Void Ark, for SB, queue Ridorana Lighthouse.

[mighty robin]

wasnt that bad

[open coral]

That's the fastest, especially if you have bad rng with the FATE drops.

[last mural]

So raids are the way to go for those? Not FATEs?

[upper cove]

@last mural I'd honestly recommend just doing the FATEs

[last mural]

I thought people would run BLU and spam FATES instead of raids

[mighty robin]

you figure how slow the raids are, you can do a lot of fates on your own that way

[upper cove]

I get more memories doing fates in the same time to finish one AR

[mighty robin]

i did them as RDM and it went quick

[open coral]

The raids make it efficient if you're like me, and have terrible rng.

[last mural]

I see

[upper cove]

@last mural if you have a blu, it just makes it even faster

Other wise just open a PF for people to come and go

[last mural]

well... my BLU is lv 65...

[upper cove]

At least it speeds up the process

[mighty robin]

if you do fates btw, be warned some fates are worth skipping xD

[last mural]

soloing is slow...

[upper cove]

Oh yeah then you could definitely consider queuing for AR in that case

At least its a guaranteed drop

I went by without doing a single AR

[mighty robin]

yea i didnt touch any instances, except for the 6 lvl 60 dungeons

[open coral]

Void Ark and Ridorana Lighthouse. I got all of mine that way because I didn't get a single drop from FATE farming.

[zinc bramble]

The FATE droprate has been greatly increased

[mighty robin]

also always remember, you dont need to do it as the class you're getting the relic for :D

[open coral]

I did it after they increased the drop rate.

[mighty robin]

rnjesus hates you

[open coral]

Yes

You have no idea

[mighty robin]

i think worst case i got one every other one, or every one

felt like a 50% chance

[zinc bramble]

My droprate was so good I assumed it was 100%

[open rock]

hi, is endwalker available for preorder yet? also, i want both the palom and porom minions-- if i ordered the digital collector's edition would i recieve both?

[open coral]

Yes, it is available, and yes you would.

[mighty robin]

make sure you buy the version matching your square enix

[twilit arch]

just want to note you'd only get the CE minion once endwalker releases

[solid garnet]

whats the diff between alliance raids and normal ones?

also, this "void ark" is good?

[pallid ferry]

How do I log in on steam without OTP? I don't have one

[open coral]

Alliance Raids are 24-man, 3 groups of 8

Normal Raids are 8-man

[twilit arch]

alliance raids are 24man (3 parties of 8) and have 4 bosses with trash

[solid garnet]

holy

[solid garnet]

oh so its not worth it?

[open coral]

It's worth it

[twilit arch]

gives you more options for the alliance raid roulette

[open coral]

They've got their own glamour and stuff.

[solid garnet]

imma do it then

[open rock]

i want to buy the endwalker preorder on the japanese square enix store (bc i live in japan and you need to put your addess) but my ffxiv account is registered under the EU (dont ask)....will it still work 😰

[spiral inlet]

is there a cap limit

for aquariums ?

in the house>

[twilit arch]

no you need an EU code @open rock

[open rock]

kms

[open coral]

The Crystal Tower, Shadow of Mhach, Return to Ivalice, and YorHa Dark Apocalypse are the four Alliance raid series right now - with Myths of Eorzea to join them in 6.0

[twilit arch]

Private chambers (apartments), cottages, houses, and mansions can host 4, 6, 8, and 10 aquariums, respectively.

[open coral]

Each Alliance raid has three wings with the 4 boss + trash format.

[open rock]

is there ANY way to contact squex to have my ffxiv acc switched to japanese or something because i moved

[spiral inlet]

Thank you

[warm snow]

Have you tried just directly contacting support?

[open coral]

As long as you aren't getting a physical shipment, just use a valid EU address, and you'll be fine.

[open rock]

i dont have an EU address 😭

[unkempt hull]

do you have to be lvl 80 to get treasure maps from ShB nodes?

I'm 73

BOT

[open rock]

and no i havent contacted support bc it hasnt been an issue until now

[open coral]

Nobody said it had to be your address.

[open rock]

🏃‍♂️

[lavish sierra]

can I get clusters by attacking enemies that another party tagged?

or is it only if my party tags or I tag?

[mighty robin]

pretty sure if you hit first you're good, but if you hit after, ehhhhhhh

[vernal urchin]

If you're not in their party it might not count, but if you do enough damage it should count for you

[mighty robin]

if your square enix is through steam, pretty sure it doesnt matter which version you buy

[atomic jewel]

Is flare a bad skill?

[errant nexus]

How can I go mining or fishing?

[frank fox]

Doesnt flare have a casttime?

Are we talking about blackmage?

[mighty robin]

do you have MIN/FSH unlocked?

[frank fox]

Or am i messing up skillnames

[errant nexus]

wha

[frank fox]

There is gathering jobs. Miner / Fisher @errant nexus

[mighty robin]

they're actual quests to unlock them, like you would gunbreaker or such

[errant nexus]

ohhh

where do I find those quests

[mighty robin]

BTN too

[errant nexus]

or are they in the main story?

[mighty robin]

botanists guild in new gridania, mining in ul dah
fishing in limsa

[errant nexus]

is there a level requirement or something?

[mighty robin]

they all have mini aetherytes labelled as "Botanists guild" or such with a blue quest there with a name that you see and go "yep that unlocks it"

[opaque anvil]

What does "Nourishes the Blood Lily" mean?

[zinc bramble]

Only requirement is the ability to get to the city (lvl ~15 MSQ).

[mighty robin]

using 3 lilies as WHM charges the blood lily. every 3 lilies used fills it

[errant nexus]

oh yeah I can do that

thanks alot

[mighty robin]

its just for afflatus misery, a damage nuke

[opal swan]

Best way to level blu from 50 to 70?

!trait transcendence of afflatus

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Trait not found, Kupo!

[warped nest]

Nvm

[opaque anvil]

I'm reading the desc for Afflatus Rapture and it says it "Nourishes the Blood Lily"

Does that mean I get the Blood Lily after using Rapture?

[warped nest]

Read the lvl 74 trait

[honest anvil]

flare/ and later despair is your big finisher in your fire phase before switching to ice phase; it's important for that big dmg

[warped nest]

You need to use afflatus rapture or afflatus solace thrice

[opaque anvil]

Three uses of that too?

[warped nest]

To get one afflatus misery

[mighty robin]

afflatus solace and rapture use a lily to do a burst insta heal
every 3 lillies used full charges ur blood lily, which lets you use afflatus misery

[warped nest]

Read the lvl 74 WHM trait

[spiral mango]

how is bozjan gear that has 5 melds in it for DRK called? is it sold on the MB ?

[opaque anvil]

Why did it take 76 levels to get the Lily AOE heal

[warped nest]

Don't ask us

We don't design the game

You get afflatus solace very early at lvl 52 iirc

[mighty robin]

its cuz its extremely useful, on top of WHM already having the most, and simplest heal options

[warped nest]

Afflatus solace is your "Heavensward" tool

Afflatus Misery, and Afflatus Rapture is your "Shadowbringers" tools

[mighty robin]

blood for the blood lily!

[odd marsh]

anyone an idea where I can get this hairstyle?

Don't use Flare to finish your Fire phase if you are doing single target rotation

[warped nest]

Despair doesn't replace Flare

[mighty robin]

!faq drgleveling

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named drgleveling exists, Kupo!

[warped nest]

Flare is never used in single target

No, just BLM

[mighty robin]

:O

[warped nest]

BLM traits impact how their existing skills work at various level range

Hence the necessity of a BLM leveling rotation

[honest anvil]

the person just asks about Flare so idt they are at the despair point but good faq ref regardless

[warped nest]

For example, notice how you stop using transpose once you learn fire III

This is the kind of things new players might have trouble figuring by themselves

in 5.55 msq, || alisaie uses a very pretty aoe spell with flowers || - is that available to player characters?

yes

!action impact

[zinc orbit]

**Impact** : lvl 66 RDM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(5.0 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 220 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Increases both Black Mana and White Mana by 3

Powered by XIVAPI

[cursive ridge]

is that the one where you swing your sword around yourself?

[warped nest]

That's moulinet

[mighty robin]

its part of your AoE rotation, so you get to see it a lot xD

[warped nest]

Impact is you conjure a big rose on your target

Then it blows up and deals AOE damage

[cursive ridge]

nah i was wondering about the one with 3 flowers

[green grail]

we don't get access to that one

boo

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey there! So me and my friend have out wedding scheduled for 7:00PM on the 31st of October but since we're in the UK the time zone changes back from BST to GMT on that day. I was curious as to whether or not this would effect the time of the ceremony or would it still be set to 7:00 PM for us or would it change to 6:00 PM?

This is really stressing us out due to limited time so some help would be greatly appreciated!

[warped nest]

You are moving your clock locally

[cursive ridge]

Crimson Savior is the name of the cool looking ability

[warped nest]

It is like asking if the solar eclipse will physically happen an hour earlier if your local time is changed

[cursive ridge]

so pretty

[mighty robin]

i wonder if the blank invitation updates for you instantly

[cursive ridge]

there is a setting for that in one of the plugins for dalamud

[leaden ginkgo]

Thing is leaving it until the day to find out is a bit dangerous

[mighty robin]

have a friend in the US or such?

To farm skybuilders scripts: What gatherer class would be best if ur max lvl is 60? Keeping in mind I have a culinarist to breake down fish.

[warped nest]

What if someone lives in a country without timezone changes, and play in EU worlds?

[mighty robin]

pass them an invite, their time on the invite wont be affected by your local time change

[warped nest]

Your ceremony is locked to that time

[mighty robin]

cuz the invite is running on server time

[warped nest]

It is not affected by a single country moving their clock forward or backward

[mighty robin]

it just changes itself to show your local time on it depending who sees it

[warped nest]

So it will be 6pm

Or 8pm

Locally

However the clock moves that day

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright thank you

[lean sphinx]

Is it safe to assume I will be able to level 2 jobs through the endwalker story?

If you add in some daily stuff or dungeons you can

Only story xp might be tough
