devs have stated a long time ago that reshade is perfectly fine to use
oh really?
thats neat then
As long as you don't cheat or gain advantages they don't really care
thank you FFXIV devs 
not you square enix

guys im at the 180 item farming stage of the relic quest which method is faster these days zadnor or raid spamming
Zadnor for the ones that come from skirmishes, raids for the ones that come from CEs
But focus on Zadnor until you beat the bozja story so you can get whatever amount of CE tokens from leveling up
Raid spamming for zone 1 and 2 is faster right now depending on DC
Aether is basically dead for z1/2
im hoping i can finish this relic b4 endwalker so far my best idea is to spend the next how ever long it takes spamming raids...zadnor was quiet...
no grps wondering from skirmish to skirmish
Just do these then if you cant find an active instance
If you still don't have zone 3 unlocked then best to farm DR or Z1 to do so
FFXIV hates staff and bow users, these relic weapons are kinda lame sometimes
on the other hand
paladins have a huge lightsaber fire blue mega tank giga badass sword
and shield

my bard relic weapon is bigger than my house

brd’s relics nice
im gonna shoot trucks
there's one or two that are cool i think so too
so how long should 27 cuffs of the father take..?
like an hour
While I'm not 100% sure, I think I saw someone basically afk for most of an alliance raid (standing in aoes even if they knew it wouldn't kill them, for example, and seemingly using only one action most of the time). I believe this is reportable on the grounds of "griefing an instance" (especially with the tomestone event going on right now), but as I said at the start, I'm not 100% sure if they were doing so or not. What should I do?
you'll never see them again, who cares
^ ye, do nothing …
dangle em off the top of bailsars wall by their ankle till they confess?
If the entire party reported them then maybe something would be done
and thats why they'll keep doin' it
.
.
not that i care just saw a thread about this on reddit and the OP was mad about not reporting ppl that do this
But GMs are mostly interested in real problems
could have been a phone call, mom call, delivery, doorbell, some grandpa in the house needed help with his pacemaker …
but for all of syrcus tower?
god thats the easy one of the 3...
you could still clear syrcus in 20mins with a party of 8 synced lmao
move on and ignore it
fair enough, I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The only times I've gotten reports to go anywhere were for someone who was really blatantly trolling in LotA and for someone who made a Very Inappropriate Joke in Frontline.
I do think it was worth it in both cases.
I just wish the ingame report function was more than just RMT
I will also note that AFK is a valid reason to kick and someone who's kicked doesn't get rewards.
i’m not saying i condone it but it’s not sth to … do sth about .. said afk person can be vile or nasty but yknow, you can never know.. they may have a good reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Same. Having to go through the Support thing in the corner is very non-intuitive and makes it much harder to report.
It makes it not worth my time to go through the effort to do so
this isnt a vent channel
Question has been asked and answered, this conversation isn't appropriate here
in terms of lenght how Stormbringer is compared to ARR/HW/etc?
it's longer than heavensward
but not as ARR?
Stormblood is somewhat longer than Heavensward, definitely way longer than ARR in my experience.
But it feels extremely long cause you spend like 4 quests in gyr abania before abandoning it for the entire damn msq until the end
geez
It has very very bad pacing
Shadowbringers was much longer than either.
praetorium 
I blew through ARR in under a week both times I played it, but the complete Shadowbringers story took a couple weeks.
ARR (not including post arr) is 3hrs (strictly voice cutscenes, not all cutscenes)
But yes, stb has a large amount of cutscenes because it has to introduce two massive areas to the game
And I stalled out on Stormblood post-story partway through because I just didn't much care about the characters, but that's different.
Shadowbringers has solid pacing that makes it feel like it's moving faster.
spoiler spoiler everywhere 
HW is around 6hrs? iirc, SB is around 7hrs
And endwalker will be bigger right?
yes
nice
They said the script is like 30% bigger
money well spent
30% bigger compared to 5.0? Or 5.0 thorugh 5.55?
is there a list of the normal sidequests that give emotes and glamour stuff like the spectacles emote anywhere?
What is currently the highest level armor in the game?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Content_Unlock This has the emotes, I don't think it's got the glams.
ty
530
530, Augmented Cryptlurker or Edenmorn.
Weird that Cryptlurker would be slightly higher than Blades', I would imagine that both involve about just as much farming.
cryptlurker is tomestone gear
I know.
blades is effectively side content/catch up
Blade's is grindy side content, too. There's no way to get the stuff for it without grinding Dalriada.
elemental gear wasn't higher ilvl than scaevan
Are loathesome memories guarantee from CE now?
No
Fates and CEs can give the coins for it
Oh wait that's right, you need other items for augmented gear.
Always forget that.
No. They're guaranteed from Crystal Tower raids (1) and from Castrum Lacus Litore (5).
Oh, cool! I hadn't noticed that.
I thought they got buffed in some way at least?
They did
I only have one Blade's item, and it's honestly mostly for the glam - I don't think 5 ilvl is that much of a difference.
They increased the rate
Ces aren't terrible
Plus you want to do them anyway to help spawn castrum
I dunno if this is a question for here or #archived-lore-spoilers, but why didn't Tataru give us new clothes at the end of the MSQ before the next expansion like she did the last couple times? :/
because the devs decided not to
¯_(ツ)_/¯
She was busy with the others
Well she'd better deliver in the first quest of 6.0!
Do they drop from CE in zadnor?
No
I'm guessing she'll give us something new for the trip to New Main City.
And I'm guessing the current strongest weapons are from that new Alexander fight?
No
no
TEA is old content technically, it's just the most recent ultimate
Eden promise or relics
edenmorn/relic
TEA gives 475 cause that's when it's released in the gear tiers
TEA weapons aren’t even BiS for TEA anymore lol
Is there a way to get materia without spirit bound armor?
Buy off market
trade planiclusters
higher tier materia can also be traded for using clusters
or bought with certain beast tribe tokens depending on grade/type
free trial 💔
time to spiritbond yourself

If I equip another class, what happens to my gear?
Won't it be too-high-level for the new class?
If you can't wear the armor on a 2nd job it will remove it
If you can't wear the armor, it will just vanish back into the armory chest so you're standing there in your underwear. If you can wear the armor, it stays on.
Ok, thanks!
Would you guys say that Castrum is faster to complete and I would get more Irreguler Tomestone in less time, than doing Praetorium that gives 10 Irreguler Tomestone?
so i just hit 71 as miner. did all the quest, and got the level 70 blue items from scrips. what is the best way to level from here?
ty
So what to do with the revelation and allegory for those who have bis already?
Anyone know the name of the song at the end of the EW job action trailer showing PLD new stuff?
Ah ok
All new stuff
Prolly new to endwalker
I prefer the first bgm tho
Ooooh okay thats awesome cause that sounded hype

is there anything impoortant besides mounts and housing that;s locked behind GC ranks?
Squadrons
push ups
squadrons are alot like ventures so no reason to not unlock them also when you get far enough into leveling your gc it's piss easy cause all you have to turn in is loot you don't want(pink blue and green)
are voice acting cutscenes more common the further the story advances? i don't mind reading, it's just that in ARR right now there aren't that many so far (around level 20 ish)

yeah trust me it gets better as it goes on never stops being tedious tho
tedious how?
a lot of the quests are go and fetch but the game is very good just like any mmo many of quests are kinda boring imo
hello, are there any preferred worlds at the moment?
no
Yeah, the actual quest content is generally "go here, get thing" or "go here, punch thing" - there's just only so many options they have given what they're working with.
damn, guess ill create a new character some other month then
ah yeah that's fine, I'll be honest, I've played the game tones, raided, crafted, most of my jobs are 80... i've just never paid attention to the story and I skipped literally every cutscene (please don't kill me) - So I'm going through NG+
It's what's going on around that that's interesting to me. The story and characters.
There is also some variety in the exact details of the punching - I would class any of the ones that require you to finish a duty as a "punch thing" quest, but some of them get very complex!
It's a default Lala exclusive haircut I think
I think so? I don't play Lala so I don't know for sure
But you can check, and if it's not there then you can't get it afaik
what's the fastest wind magic to obtain with blu
probably alpine draft or sonic boom
both are learnable in dungeons. dusk vigil for alpine and pharos for sonic boom
can also get them from open world mobs
nice, thxs
I'm pretty sure Sonic Boom is from some enemy in either azys lia or sea of clouds
Griffins in the sea of clouds
sonic boom can also be learned from the anzu in the sea of clouds
the fights in carnival are ordered by difficulty?
not really
especially once you get past 15
they all feel pretty challenging assuming you new to blue mage
nice, thxs
i forget, but what % of the class quest cutscenes are voice acted?
0%
voice acted cutscenes are msq
when leveling crafters, should i be buying crafting gear from the market board?
wait...none of the class quest cs are voice acted?
correct
buy from npc vendors
generally no, as marketboard can often be overpriced
would suggest you look at vendor first, despite the fact that it'll be NQ. crafting/gathering can generally get by with NQ
that said, if HQ is cheaper/same price as vendor on the marketboard then i'd go ahead and grab it
for npc vendors, if i'm 50 does that mean ishgard?
also once you reach level 50, you can purchase specific gear with scrips, instead of gil
oh thats exactly what I was wondering
the lv50/60 scrip gear (except accessories) i wouldn't recommend tbh
simply because they're not universal sets
crafting tools are often cheaper on the marketboard, no shortage of people who have gotten them from job quests, but dont actually use em so they list em up for sale
how do i get crafter's scripts?
you need to craft and turn in collectables
at lv50 they do not have access to custom deliveries
rip
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
i forget, but can you buy gear using skybuilder scrips?
are fetes still going on in ishgard
yes
will they stop when ishgard housing becomes available?
no
can someone drop the blue mage guide thing for me
i swear i cant remember that command
probably not, im gonna assume that they wont retire this content for people
!faq bluguide
ty
its permeant content
and the housing district is going to have no effect on the firmament
did the recent media tour reveal anything about the new stardew valley-esque farming system they were gonna introduce with EW?
Zepla, in her interview with yoshi-p, asked about it
if i accidentally right clicked Brilliant conviction during a duty quest, ill still get it next quest right? i didnt just screw myself over incredibly hard?
clicking it off only affects that instance
we keep running alexander - burden of the son with 8 blu mages but have yet to get j-kick, it does perform it i believe (during the add phase and then all the ads run around rush around everywhere)
probably like 5 times now? just unlucky or doing something wrong? it's unsynced normal alexander burden of the son
i dont think you're guaranteed to learn the spell on unsync'ed
unsync is a chance to learn
sync is 100% learn rate
It really isnt
Is there a decent'ish video guide on RDM? They just kinda toss you into it and fill the hotbars with spells that I frankly have no idea what half of them do or how to use them right
!faq 50rdm
Also weskalber has levelling rotations for all jobs on YouTube
thanks
Earth
which is ice and which is water?
Ice is light blue, water is dark blue
u have a pic of the icons?
Does desynthesis improve odds at rare materials or only demi materia?
...Doesnt this technically mean if Im hunting for say boss materia, a lower desynth level is desirable?
You want your desynth level to be same or higher than what you're breaking for best chances are rare materials
so if an item is 100 desynth, you want 100 or higher
Figured out the steam link solution. You have to disable "Use desktop configuration" in the controller settings
anyone playing at Kujata experiencing error 9002?
im only getting the error when i click the msq
How long since Prae went to cutscenes-mandatory?
like almost 4 years at this point or something
Does feather rain deal 220 + 40x2 ticks or 40x3 including the on hit tick for the DoT?
The blu garuda spell
2 ticks
@faint flare oh so the potency is technically the same as eruption
does Paglth'an reward 50 tomes of revelation everytime u do it?
Why do people recommend feather rain over eruption
Yes but dots scale slightly by spell speed
👀
So it's slightly stronger
It's not a mega important thing so many don't know it does
Since you know, no dot job takes it
wow, why am i doing MSQ roulette then if i could just do 2x expert roulette in the same time
I think the dot scaling on speed is like equal or lower than what det does to it
I seeee
is there a little guide for T2 farming? I wanted to know what skills are useful
I think tingle+whistle+offguard+moonflute+final sting for the actual boss, and Jkick+missile+Death5 for mobs?
anything else?
Missile, whistle, moon flute and final Sting
J-kick + death is a missile replacement
what should i be spending white tomes on ?
Tingle and off guard helps with sting
ah ok

If u die at here n clear the dg can get loots@@?
You can be raised to get loot
Fates/ces work like normal fates, you get rewarded based on Contribution even when dead
If I pre-ordered Endwalker Digital Collector's Edition, can I not redeem the Collector's Edition key off steam until the launch date?
Oh i see
Okay, good. Wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong
And technically you shouldn't even have the proper .code yet but steam is steam
Mogstation errored out and I was worried. ty
so inside the recruitment even die after clear still can get loots right?
what was fates
The stuff you see on the map
if you buy a story skip
ok
does it give you the xp
no
if you do a final sting on a boss in masked carnival to 'end an act' does it still count as you dying? Such as final sting between act 1 and 2?
No
You'll proceed onwards
And not fail
Using Sting/destruct was a common strat to end stages early on before the debuff came in
story skip, and job skip are separate things
How do I unlock Alexander? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Alexander
I don't see a quest on Slowfix for 'Disarmed', nor is it in my completed quest log
and obv I've already completed HW years ago
Did you actually talk to slowfix or did you just look at the map
nvm I'm stupid, I must have picked up the quest years ago and have never done it 😐
so ofc it wouldnt show on the NPC or in completed... still sitting in log..
might wanna play with this under character config so you see more quests
Does it go higher than 5?
I'm sure I remember trying to change it at some point, and that was the highest it went.
Sadly no
Your best option is to click once on the quest to make the box yellow so it stays at the top
I do that, yeah, but sometimes I want to see more than five quests at once - like when I've picked up a bunch of sidequests in an area and want them all on the minimap.
Yep...unfortunately the game only shows you 5 at a time
(Usually I just group them by approximate destination and hide them once they're done.)
I went on a uhh...sidequest spree lmao
Had around 15-20 at a time and would have to constantly check if an objective was nearby cause it wouldn't show. There may be a plugin to increase that QoL but I'm not sure
I can only get wedding invitations from people in my server right
Yes
I have a question about leveling DoH - when I was leveling from 40-53 this morning, I would get ~40k (+350-400%) synthesis exp per craft but from 53-63 I'm only getting ~5k (still +350-400%). Is this by design or am I forgetting/doing something wrong?
If you are crafting items below your current DoH level you get less xp
This is to encourage you to gather/craft new items
It's the same as with leveling a DoW/M in open world content, you dont get xp from lower level mobs, and if any, it's miniscule
I see, thanks. The balance guide says 50-63 should take <40 crafts but I'm seeing it take more like ~45 crafts
At the beginning of an expansion, is there only max level dungeon roulette or expert roulette?
Or is there both?
I used some online leveling guide, not the balance for my DoH/L
Was pretty solid, though tbh if you just do ishgard restoration you'll level even faster as long as you can afford the time to get the mats/buy em
I'm wondering if in 6.0 it will be harder than usual to cap tomestones every week?
But it will be kinda weird to have two roulettes with only 1 dungeon in each..
Expert roulette
I see, thanks Vinyl!
Lv90 roulette won't exist until like 6.1 when a dungeon gets cycled out of expert
Got it
Also how does dungeons get cycled out of expert?
I think 5.0 Expert is Amarout, Twinning, and Akadaemia?
So 5.1 Expert is Grand Cosmos and...?
So 5.1 is Expert bring Cosmos, Twinning, Akadaemia, and Lv 80 roulette is only Amarout?
The last dungeon is pushed out
how hard is a4s unsync, that striking top is really nice
I think 5.1 was all 4 dungeon then went about to 2 in 5.2 as the launch dungeons get pushed out
I can't imagine any of the Alexanders are hard with a good-size party - I had no issues farming one for anima light.
Blue mage spells are learned 100 percent when the level is sync'd right?
Yes
so Undersized + Level Sync ?
I see, weird but make sense
5.1 have all 4 dungeon in expert, 5.2 having 2 new ones in expert, and 3 olds ones in lv 80
i just got the veteran reward for the strife outfit, am i able to use it as glamour?
Don't need undersized if you have a group
I don't really understand the value/usage of deployment tactics
do you usually use it in conjuction with recitation crit adol?
You don’t need Recitation since it doesn’t spread the crit-specific shield
Just Adlo+Deployment for a bigger aoe shield than Succor for very big aoe damage
kk, the range on deployment kind feels small
should I cast adol on myself?
when I cast it on tank most of the time there are people that aren't in range
Any target but the main tank generally works
I default to myself since as a healer you generally want to be in the middle of the party
so I wanna get my DRG to ilevel 530 but I can only have one augmented cryptlurker slayer ring because uniquee item, what can I use instead to get to ilevel 530?
yea that makes more sense, kind of feels very niche
You need the savage ring
Or use the fully upgraded SHB relic
I can get those from doing eden's promise savage right?

Is this normal? I pre ordered EW like... 2 weeks ago? And they havent charged me for it yet lol
theres cases where you dont get the charge until release date or you reveal the preorder code
hey question.. I'm trying to buy this item fromt he Doman Enclave, but there is no NPC at the listed coordinance for Junkmonker
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/7f7ad3e71e9
The Junkmonger will not appear until players have donated items worth a total of 110,000 gil to the Donation Box in the Doman Enclave.
not sure if that still is required

IIRC, you also need to complete the Doman Enclave for the haori to appear.
It takes about three months of donations assuming you do it every single week.
Completing it also give you your first haori free.
Hey guys , I'm at post ShB now with PLD, DRK, SAM and GNB all capped. I haven't done much else at all and I'm just thinking on what goals I should have and what are the things I should probably do before EW comes out. So would anyone be able to give me an entire list of things to do? I've literally only done story at this point, I'm fairly new and only have those classes capped.
One thing I have in mind is I wanna complete ALLLL the Blue quests (I'm sort of a completionist
) so is there a guide on where I can start on that from ARR , like an easy to understand guide. And how long do you guys think that will take?
well your pretty much ready for EW so I guess its down to finding a blue quest guide that I remember there being a command for the important ones
!faq contentunlock
there we go
am i able to change between blue mage load sets in dungeons, like right before i enter a boss room?
hoiw come I don't see the diabolos card for sale at the moogle shop?
If none of your skills are on cooldown, then yes
But you’ll need to disable your mimicry for swapping sets
ah ok
You need to have completed the HW 24-man alliance raid series
ohh
I should get on that I suppose
I've never done treasure maps before, I know these ostensibly special maps can't be found outside of event, but it seems there's no limit to them, so I'm trying to gauge the relative worth of it. How valuable is this item?
I am on controller how do I do double tap R2 and L2 to be set up for every class?
Cross hotbar
for the friend invite code, can you only use it when you're creating your account? or can you set one up if youre a recent player even if you alrd made your character ertc
so quick question i am on floor 41 in palace of the dead and i need higher gear score to go up so do i need to reset and start over from 1 or can i pick up from floor 30 after the reset
You can register a friend code when you’ve bought the game but not yet paid for any additional sub time past the free 30 days you get with purchase
ohh okie
how many memories do Crystal tower raids drop again?
so quick question i am on floor 41 in palace of the dead and i need higher gear score to go up so do i need to reset and start over from 1 or can i pick up from floor 30 after the reset
to get more of that blue stuff
Oh I see. Sorry for the late reply, thank you. So are these basically like everything that you can unlock in FFXIV ? As in these are all the blue quests or?
get another savepoint
you have 3
no need to delete the first one that you are stuck at
2 save files
wat do u mean like start over or make a save point on that run
on a different class
can be the same class
You don’t have to
@pure zenith would unlocking all these things from the link you sent me
unlocking mounts I want
getting all the Aether currents
Am I pretty much done for most of FFXIV that I can start focusing on fashion ? XD
Basically
so i can build aether on all runs
so i delete all my other ones except the one i wanna build and start a fresh run
You only have 2 save files for Potd
Thanks for help… I figured it myself
I forgot friendship circlet helps with doh/dol exp as well?
no class restriction like memphina/novice ring
Does different ilvl get to different stats on synced? say ilvl 520 DRG and ilv 485 DRG doing lvl 60 synced fate
are there any go to items to donate to domain enclave
Ventures and market board too
Other wise people say bamboo if you're overcapping on gc aeals
Do the expansions add new Grand Companies/Factions, cause I'd like to join House Fortemps or Ishguard?
nope
it would be really out of left field if they did and the pvp is essentially balanced around having 3 factions
so they would have re do alot with the pvp to even include another grand company
Oh, ok, I didn't pay too much attention to pvp, so I didn't know.
Generally, yeah you wanna use your oGCDs before you start spending GCDs
but you might need to fix a very big oopsie and have to do Solace and then weave Tetra
Is it a bigger heal when doing Solace first then Tetra?
I've always done Tetra then Solace for bigger heals
I have 38 days sub(entry), I wanted to add 30 more but couldn't do it. Is there a limit?
Currency in my country is not stabile, I want to stock a little gametime.
Ofcourse I can exchange my currency to euro or usd but I lose money when I exchange.
when you say bigger heal, do you mean potency? cause that's the same no matter what order you do it in but Solace and then Tetra just means you're weaving instead of clipping
of course, you wouldn't be clipping if you did some other GCD, weave Tetra and something else, and then Solace
Ah I forgot Solace is a GCD
I'll keep that in mind, thank you very much
Do u think sage and reaper will also count for the amaro mount after EW release?
Unlikely
no
Good i'd die otherwise
no precedent for it but mebbe there's gonna be a new amaro equivalent for level 90s in EW 🤩
@solemn jewel Amaro mount is based on dow and Dom leveling achievement
They don't retroactively add additional requirements
Honestly, just getting DoW classes to lv 70 alone is reward enough. Because it gives the God/dess of War title
Yes im aware.
Like how you don't need to level SB jobs to level 60 to get the Heavensward dow/m achievements
My question is if Reaper and Sage would need to get to 80 as well after EW drops to get the mount
Same deal here with Amaro
Unlikely
Oke thank u
What I said
The requirements will remain the same
I wasn't even aware there was an achievement
Cus i don't look at them
I just knew there's a mount
Are coins guaranteed drops from the Nier raids?
Hmm, might want to check it out sometimes
ye
Who knows, maybe u already unlocked a mount via title, but didn't claim it
I care very little for achievements in any game i just want the Amaro
daily reminder to show your amaro affection
Because rewards from achirvements other than titles ard not autoclaim
In Heavensward, If you level all ARR and HW DoW jobs to level 60, you get a fancy title. Even when SB jobs are added in Stormblood the achievement doesn't change to include SB jobs
It is the exact same thing here
Not about the achievements, but the rewards
Amaro is rewarded by completing an achievement
U might have unlocked maybe a mount but didn't know it because u didn't claim it
Level all combat jobs that exist in Shadowbringers to level 80
Yes I'm aware of that now, i mean other achievements i care very little for
Ahh, fair point
Regardless, it is not a maybe
It is a definitive no
Endwalker and future jobs will not be required to get Amaro
Dumb newbie question, if tanks get double str multiplier (correct me if im wrong) how can dps in the game actually outdmg the tank?

A random
Double str what?
!trait tank mastery
This is just a fancy way to say that tank benefits from strength stats
Never played dps yet so i need to know
!trait dps mastery
Not a thing
!trait melee mastery
Not a thing
Lol

Tank mastery is just how tank works
They become bulkier and scale their damage using strength stat
Casters dps get maim and mend
Oh the same thing a healer does
So it’s just a magic thing
If tanks do more damage than Dps by default, then why not just make a 2 healer 6 tanks party for endgame content
Currently i only play 3 healers and 4 tanks so i really dont know how dps work
This is what i thought :/
They press buttons and things die
If a tank outdamages a dps, the dps is dead or very very bad
By design, assuming it is played optimally, Dps beats tank and tank beats healer
So I'm replaying 5.2 on ng+ and during the end scene, where one of the role quests givers comes to your room, cylva isn't an option even though I did her quests when they came out. Does NG+ not check for quest completion history? I could have sworn she was an option on my initial playthrough
SAM and BLM do big damage
So caster dps gets that sweet 40% dmg increase and some atk buffs, make sense if they deal more dmg
So if they’re getting beat by a tank?
But how much bonus dmg is from str tank mastery?
I always assume that it means your tank uses strength as their base stat for damage calculations
Like how healer uses Mind
inner quiet is worthed to use if the action i use is less than 11 ?
feel like never used it 😹
Inner Quiet is almost always worth using even without Byregot’s
ok
You pay 18 CP for a stacking quality buff
It just passively raises your quality amount per touch action
!action inner quiet
ok so far, hasn't been facing difficulty yet, been using it cause it's cheap
Hmm, thought it had a concrete percentage on the tooltip
it doesn't hehe, maybe one of the traits
nvm it's not
trick of the trade is a proc? my materials is just normal quality
but sometimes it's available like a proc
Trick of the trade lets in you trade a Good condition for 20CP
hmm, since you don't really kill the Manor Sentry in Haukke, how do you get Level 5 Petrify on Blue?
You get it from the Sentry in the boss fight
Not the one before the fight
oh...
well rip, I left after that like a fool forgetting that sentries spawn in the boss
was doing it unsynced anyways which means I likely wouldn't have gotten it
Self repair
you need to do content suitable for your level
extreme/savage stuff will fill your spiritbond real quick
Dying can cause durability loss
yeah it's normal
if you are using a lv 80 gear and only been killing lv 50 stuffs
you won't get any spiritbond
minimum, you have to kill lv 70 mobs
what lvl do u start as as red mage
50
!faq sbjobs
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".
What item level is the gear and is it combat or crafting/gathering gear?
then you have to kill lv 60 stuffs minimum
If it’s the Scaevan gear then you need to do level 70 content like the last tier of Omega or Orbonne Monastery
does anyone have an endwalker prep checklist?
Baseline level 70 content and anything below that won’t really bond your gear
Just finish msq
And maybe get a good weapon and high ilvl 500 gears
There aren't much to prep
Unless you want to prep for doh and dol
Then just grab some crafting food and tea, and a lot of elemental crystal
oh i'm not worried about any of those things
I was thinking about more in-depth
ty anyways tho
so is savage basically "all the attacks from normal that gave you vulnerability now oneshot you instead" plus a bunch of new abilities?
Very rarely, and yes
normal is "hey lets slow down the savage fight mechanics and make them not hit as hard and take out the hard ones"
A better way to put it is, normal raid are savage raid with neutered boss attacks and patterns
iirc savage is designed first followed by normal
Some of the harder mechanics don't even show up in normal
they still give you vulnerability, and if worse a damage down
Can you replay all class quests up to 70 with NG+?
and you need to meet dps check to clear savage in earlier week
yes
Thank you!
Later savages often include entirely new phases
do savages ever have an ilvl sync?
Mechanics often have ground markers removed and many more complicated aspects added
No just level sync
Normal raids are super babified versions of savage.
i'm a baby
You can’t learn how to do the Savage version just by doing normal.
At most the normal version has some extremely basic versions of the concepts in the savage fight
you can only have one deciphered at the same time, and you can only have one map in your bag of each type since it's unique
you can store a few on retainers as that oversteps the unique problem
your best bet is to look in party finder for treasure map parties. i haven't done any myself yet, but you can do them+dungeon with like 4 people easily, really only need a tank and a healer
apparently they take turns using their maps or something of the sort
Quick question, I have FFXIV Complete Edition on PS5 (done with SHB, waiting for EW). Bought Starter Edition for PC (waiting for EW to release for the other expansions). Can I log in with my current character and be limited to ARR/HW areas? Or just no access in general?
afaik you'll be only limited to ARR/HW area
but not sure if you logged out in SHB/SB area however
cause I've never tried it myself

If you logged out in ShB/SB area on PS5 you won’t be able to log in on PC afaik
Yeah asking bc I logged out in Gridania and even set a random lv1 crafter job just in case but when I try logging in on PC it just gives me the game intro cutscene etc
nvm just had to let it play out
can somebody explain the cheese altitude strat on t5 coils? when do you need to move?
Right as the divebomb marker appears
Making twintania go right to 30% or so
Divebomb phase starts around 50-55% after dropping the 2nd neurolink
interesting
so for divebomb cheese, you stand on top, when the marker appears, you move down?
or the other way round
Down then up
gotcha
what the minimum amount of people needed to clear lvl70 ex trials unsynched?
can you do it with 2~3?
depends on which but ranging from 1 til 4
cool
though keep in mind clearing is not the same as farming with less than 8
yea, just wanna try them with a friend
and was wondering if it was even possible with 2 people
Both should be doable, but having like 4 people will make it much easier
hello, is it good time to sell my materia now because endwalker will come soon?
kk coolbeans, my friend only has whm at 80 anyways
moon and suzaku aren't doable with 2 because of mechanics?
Are extreme trials useful to gauge how I'd do in a savage raid
depends … around their release, yes. After a while, they get cheese with sheer dps so not a good indicator anymore imo
but a good stepping stone to savage nonetheless .. if you do the newest one at least
yes, current extremes are about as difficult as the first 2 floors of a savage tier
so cloud deck ex is a good indicator?
yes
weird question, but if i can solo leviathan ex no problem and execute its mechanics, am i ready for the faux hollows version of it? i gather there's much more nuance with the spellcaster add fella
Hello, I have a question. In light of the new PF restrictions, is it prohibited to advertise levekits in the others section?
no
also what are good uses of yellow gatherer scrips pre-max level
Is it really just the folklore book things

this is listed as an exception:
- Advertising for the purchase and sale of items
levekits are fine as long as you're not selling them for real money
Ah okay, thank you for the clarification.
How long it takes to Odin respawn?
36 to 72 hours since last killed I think
So it can be any time between that? Damn that will be difficult to track
are you actively trying to track, or just looking to kill it?
subscribe to a ping in the centurio hunts discord server for your datacenter
My advice would be to join any hunt linkshells as odin is usually called out
I've seen PF listings under "others" that are like "willing to help sprouts get/clear..“ , are those also prohibited?
I am under the impression, that offering clears for rewards is prohibited, but what if they didn't want/expect one?
Yes this is now prohibited
Even if the listing does not mention a reward
Otherwise this would probably become an avenue to conceal rmt ads
To make the ban effective it has been made a blanket and unambiguous ban on any type of of ad that is “I will help you to clear x”
that is unfortunate but oh well
uh question about PLD's sheltron. It said block incoming attacks for 4s, that means 100% immune to any attacks for 4s?
no
That’s not a common type of PF ad anyway
Blocks are around 20-25% mitigation depending on how good your shield is
Sheltron is basically a short-duration rampart you can use more often
PLD has a passive block chance at all times with shield equipped
sheltron gets extended to 6s at lvl 74
You will notice sometimes you receive damage that says “blocked (-25%)” or something on the number
I see, I get it now. The skill description doesn't say much lol
Sheltron just guarantees this for 4s
Thanks guys~
can you block magical damage? and untargeted abilities?
Yes
Block applies to all attacks
so if you pop sheltron and waltz over fire you get mitigation?
Parry is physical only
Does reprisal on a boss apply to damage taken by avoidable aoe?
If that’s what you mean by untargeted abilities, like persistent ground puddles
No you cannot block that
But you can block AoEs, raidwides and stuff
It would if it was snapshotted on the boss’s cast bar for that attack, reprisal will certainly affect it
Damage that comes directly from the boss, if I'm understanding it correctly
As long as it is on them before they cast it
Yep
how often do PLD use Passage of Arms in raid content? i don't think i've ever noticed one
Downtime such as ultimate attacks
Fairly often for raid-wides since they can flash it as a toggle, as the effect lingers for everyone behind them
oh i know why i've never noticed it, it's a level 70 ability
And yeah 100% of the time in fights that will have downtime / phase transitions
you know those fights where a boss goes untargetable and you have to a mech to prevent their charge bar from reaching 100?
do*
if the boss is untargetable you can't reprise them
You can also quickly tap the action to get a 4-5 second duration of it to give the party mitigation for an upcoming aoe
though it's harder to do if you're the main tank
Oh like the one when susano slam down his sword
Susanoo is pre-70, so
i have a question about PLD, how come their 1-2 combo doesn't change, but the -3 changes
in theory I guess
...oh yeah, we were doing unsynced back then lol
What do you mean why
I recall Passage being used for big raidwides in places like Fluminis and SoS
well for example for MCH, their whole 1-2-3 changes while leveling up, but for PLD only the last one does
Only MCH does that
Because of the heat mechanic and because the original version of MCH was deemed not flashy enough so it got an overhaul
That’s just an arbitrary design decision for PLD
We don’t know why. We do know that the final hit for PLD’s combo is weak relative to other tanks prior to the upgrade
So they boosted it up with a shiny new skin
it goes from 350 combo potency to 550 combo potency
Correct
We just simply do not know specifically why Rage of Halone gets upgraded behind the scenes
It's most likely to balance out Atonement 
You’d literally have to ask Yoshi P and the team
Atonement came later
Wasn’t Royal Authority in SB?
ah
Yeah I figured
is atonement basically PLD's delirium bloodspiller
ignore me then 
that gives jack missed rage of halone a bit more context
The other tanks just got their aggro combo enders removed in favour of only having the damage one when tank aggro got overhauled
It functions differently in how you actually use it in your rotation but yesAtonement is multiple repeated GCDs
PLD always got RA late however so RoH was still quite iconic
I wouldn’t really compare it to Delirium besides that vague similarity
it would be contextually different since Atonement usage and planning is a choice in PLD’s rotation throughout a fight
also, i only just started PLD, so i dunno, but the fancy sword summoning thingies in the EW trailer, where are they fitting in the kit?
Especially since it would be optimal to drop Atonement over a buffed Holy Spirit in PLD’s 60s rotation
PLD uses a Goring Blade combo right after magic phase to round out the rotation and refresh their DoT
The blades replace that
They combo off Confiteor
You always follow up a Magic Phase with said goring blade combo
Them comboing off Confiteor will just have them replace it, eapecially since they have the same effect of applying a Dot and regenning MP
It’s just more damage and ranged capability that comes with it
so they're basically three new spells huh
Pretty much
Sorry I just read up, was this to my question or ? 
yes but their implementation into the rotation doesn’t change PLD’s 100% uptime rotation at all
optimization is a different story but I don’t know enough to talk about it
Whats your camera angle when raiding?
it changes depending on the fight
I usually sit around 45 degrees or so
Same
oath gauge gain basically doesn't change from the moment you get it, right
correct
As of right now correct. We don’t know if they’re changing it in EW. Probably not but hey you never know with SE.
i guess skill speed affects it a little bit
do people roll Need on gear they want for glamour? like from eden normal raids for example
They do.
Do we know if the next expansion will change cross-class skills?
you mean role actions? some
they do and they will for needing
Cross-class actions yeah
addle and feint are being changed to have 5% reduction of the opposite damage type
all casters get Sleep, Addle and Feint become -10% magic damage and -10% physical damage, with the reduced effect for the opposite
phys ranged mititgation os being lowered to 90s
it’s 5%
else both would just be reprisal
with the reduced effect for the opposite
Alright, thanks
my bad
addle - 10% magic, 5% phys
feint - 10% phys, 5% magic
ye
interesting that addle will no longer affect healing done since it no longer affects mind
not that it matters in pve at least, bosses never heal themselves
can i get some help
I just got the Collectors Edition upgrade for ARR will it take about as long as store items to give me the stuff?

Hello guys, i am reading some classes combo but i dont understand what does GCD and oGCD means, can someone explain to me?
can anyone help me
!faq weaving
Seems like its a directx11 issue, can you try reinstalling that?
GCDs are your main actions and all share a cooldown timer for the most part. oGCDs are attacks and buffs you can use between GCDs.
directx 11 ?
sure i can
As a general rule of thumb; Spells and Weaponskills are mainly GCDs, and Abilities are mainly oGCDs
which quest increase the amount of your gearset?
unlocking more classes in general
Ah i see, so it stand for global cooldown
Another thing I could recommend is to check if your drivers maybe need an update
the thing is i updated the game yesterday

then this happened
ok it seems jobs also applied to the gearset increase? 🤔
pretty sure not, if you mean upgrading the class into the job
Hmmmm 😦 Well if directx11 reinstall doesn't fix I know its a sucky reply but maybe try reinstalling the game itself? 😦
i see hmm that's odd
In worst case its a Windows issue which I hope it isnt for you heh
yep i might
The quest "a pup no longer".. what is it for? It looks kinda like pvp as a newbie and i dont even want to step into pvp once
it's not because it was working fine the other day
its after 40 gigs of update
it started giving errors
Steam?

yep
yeah Steam does this sometimes, I had it not with FF14 but with Ark: Survival Evolved, had a massive update suddenly and the game kept crashing, full reinstall fixed it
yeah that's odd. When i started with steam free trial I also had that problem
but when I restarted with new quare client account it didn't
The issue with steam is for some reason their game files get corrupted/broken super easily for games with big updates
it might take a while but i have to dawnload the whole game ig
Hey everyone! Im playing blm right now and i want to start playing dk since i reached heavensward content...Will there be a problem with my blm progress?
Yeah i'm sorry 😦
to change class just change weapon + job stone
no problem at all
No, if your DRK goes beyond the level of your BLM you can still play BLM and continue where you left BLM off 🙂
you just had to start from lv 30 again (base drk level)
you'll have to level drk back up to the level you were in msq, which can be done easily with roulettes and dungeons etc
nah thanks for the help man
recommend to use /gearset
how am i supposed to use this feature if i can't log in to my account?
and drag that gearset to your hotbar
so you can switch job between BLM and DRK easily
Thank everyone!
I need help yall xD
I could log into the emergency removal thing without using the OTP
What up
I like the OTP but the desynch issues have locked me out of my account 3 times now so I don't care anymore 😦
ouch
is that a recent thing? cause some people i know have that problem and they fixed it by turning off their vpn
I don't have VPN
is this part from some other song? https://youtu.be/5D8wj9n9oAM?t=97

FINAL FANTASY XIV
Shadowbringers - THE TWINNING
- BGM only -
--------------------------------------------...
yes it's for unlocking the PVP duties
For some reason I can't equip my monk gear set because it has a blue x on it. even though my class is at pugluist,
Oh oki thanks
i switch to puglist and it didn't work xD
Screenshots, ur lvl, gear lvl pretty please
Can you get banned for forcing someone to play properly in game?
if it is artifact gear then that is only for MNK
How do I do that?
The entirety of Twinning is a mashup of other songs
yes, it's a quote from eScape https://youtu.be/M0Jwsypbz10?t=108
Wowee. I know recency bias is a thing but this is easily one of my favourite pieces from FFXIV. Other than that the fight is awesome, and there's something about Omega's model and animations that I absolutely adore. Overall loved it.
Ignore the 50 FPS, something bizarre happened during render
Find the rest of the FFXIV OST here!
http://www.y...
A Long Fall is basically 3 themes in one; Crystal Tower for the main music, Alexander for the bass line, and Omega for the Lyrics
Well tell us which gear set it is
Depending on how you do it, most likely yes.
yeah keep that type of drama for your static or people that you know
but it's more likely you'll get started off with a mute or short ban
@solemn jewel
Please
Yea equip ur job stone
Job stone reeeeee
ohhhh
You'll also get more skills.
ah the classic
use /gearset feature
you've been keeping up with your job quest
but you need to use /gearset feature so you don't forget to equip your job stone
Is fist of fire a PUG skill? I can't remember
monk
nope
F
Only Earth comes with PGL
but im using a gamepad how does that work?
Does anyone have list of role quests for MSQ- crystarium?
Someone gave it to me a while ago, but my friend needs it
oh, I stand corrected
ohhhh ok
then drag your gearset onto one of your hotbars so you can quickswitch to that job
what if you have a gamepad
you still have to use hotbars
?
square -> put into hotbar
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

I just switch in the character screen itself
i have a semi-transparent row of icons on the side of my screen
you don't notice them when you don't need them
ohhhh ok
I use this macro
well anyways thanks guys for the help
oh ok
what's the fire crystal macro for
how do you get that gem thing from?
does anyone else have random stuttering and hitching where the game freezes up for about half a second?
it brings up the menu for all gearsets
press x on the macro icon
I see, just the icon then
can choose any icon you like, but i've been using red gem from the beginning
and where is this macro icon at? is it at the setting?
at the macro itself
just use your dpad
you can click the icon at the top and change it
ok and then what do you put on the name and big box?
I have a threadripper 1950x and an rtx 3060 ti, and it runs at 165fps smoothly until it hitches like that and I can't figure out any setting change to resolve it
name doesn't matter, the big box is for macro commands
macro commands are basically the same as what you would type in chat
The small box is the name for the macro, but the big box needs /gearset specifically
if I'm reading it right
Is there any sale on full version game?
none currently for the big sellers (SE Store/Steam/PS Store)
Complete pack?
I'm not seeing it on the NA store.
I think this only covers up to Shadowbringers
and I'm having difficulty navigating the JP store to tell for sure on there
since it's layed out different
No wait I see it on EU now
Might still be rolling out on all the languages
Hey guys, I'm trying to farm yoshimitsu relic, but when I kill these zaharak pugilist it doesn't count in the mission.. what should i do?
Wrong NPCs
the book wants Zan'rak Pugilists
Zan'rak are further in the "stronghold"
Looks official, so the announcement is likely very new and still being rolled out on the stores
