I left immediately because I thought i had what i needed 
this map is wrong, right?
where are some good places to find fc's that arent here

I still have this quest in my journal, is the fate popping up then because it points still to here?
Yes
Ok
All event quests that have gone by are incompletable
Youve been collecting events and ignoring them
Iirc somewhere near the bottom of the quest text it mentions that they expire
Hey, I welcome it cleaning up my journal tho
Dumb question but, the pre order mount for endwalker, we get it when Endwalker releases right? Same for the Reaper weapon
When you register the regular expansion code during early access
Wait so theres 2 codes?
Yes
I just bought it on the SE store, got 1 code that gave me early access, the earrings and the minion
Preorder and the expansions code itself
I see, and that code we get it on the 23rd right?
The other code comes during early access
There's a lodestone post about it and everything when it's available
Alright, thanks for the info. Gotta check the order again when its early access
Currently making an alt in a different DC to attend a friends wedding. Does my home world need to be the same as theirs? Or can I just go into a random world and move to their world for the wedding?
same home world
Curse you Aether quarantine
I kinda just need help on what to buy. Should I get dragoon and machinest or something else. Ik I’m buying machinest but idk what other DPS class
You don't need to buy anything outside the game and expansions
I was talking about class jumping ;-;
Then do whatever
!faq meta
If it looks fun try it out
What does the blue cross mean? ❌
you can't equip it
Ok ty
no
yes
kinda weirdchamp but there are halfbreed characters in the game
interracial breeding between the races is possible but doesn't happen often
its considered, or atleast was for a long time, taboo to do so
plus carrying the child to term is hard
The only halfbreed is that redheaded catboi and he had some weird clone thing going on
Is ishgard housing slotted for 6.0?
and he's not a halfbreed either
i know hilda is half elezen
Hilda is half elezen, half hyur
not correct
Yeah, her to I guess.
Arenvald is half garlean, half highlander
and we have the side quest chain in the ruby sea that talks about a half au ra, and half hyur child
Those are just 2 humans though
garleans are not hyur

's like saying elezen are just hyur but taller
I'm going to have to look at the wiki =/
Sorry i have question
Is getting crafting material from HW monster is grindy?
for trial extreme one
not particularly y
what about lala roe
you can unsync them for quick farms
ah okay ty
It doesn't really mention it at all but if there can be bastards between garleans and hyur then they have a common ancestor
Dancer Question: Any recommendations on standard and technical finish uses, when to use them and when not to? Especially when to use which, just depending on when I need the biggest damage burst? I see that technical finish only boosts you for 20 seconds compared to standard finish's 60, and it takes quite a bit longer, so I'm not sure when to use it
On Cooldown
as i said, player races (and garleans) are capable of interbreeding with each other
both on cooldown
You never hold them
Unless downtime is literally about to happen
Holding leads to lost uses which leads to 100% dps lost
so it's not even worth to, let's say, keep it for a few seconds because you know a big group will spawn instead of the single target you have atm?
That comes to fight specific optimisation padding
ok
If adds are about to spawn very soon, you can hold for that P A D D I N G
so that means never wait for standard finish until the buff runs out
But you never hold for extended periods
Correct
Holding it for 60s means you lose 1000 potency every minute
the casting does take a few seconds, so I wouldn't say exactly every minute, but I know what you mean
(or rather dancing)
mmh true
So yes, it's 1000 potency lost every minute
are the koijin beast tribes even worth doing to help level alt jobs?
Yes
They're less good for their level range than pixie but if you have time to kill waiting for a queue they're pretty good
And the mount is very pretty
Pixies only give alot cause there's only 1 combat
It's the equiliant of both combat tribe xp put together
good point
Anyone got advice on what to spend yellow crafter scrip on? I have all crafter classes leveled to 80 and all the recipe books.
stock up on materia
Check the prices of the materials/materia
Grade 8’s will probably be adjusted to have 100% Retrieval rate when 6.0 hits, so you can stockpile those to meld leveling gear if needed
does anyone know if square enix will restore your account to a different email address if you can no longer access the address the account was reigstered to?
i already did just curious
So I'm onto the soulglazing of my zodiac weapon, I've heard spamming both Aurum Vale and Tam Tara hard are good but which is faster?
does thunderstorms mean ixion is able to spawn?
Well currently with the weapon I'm only IL 463
actually 465
every other piece of my gear is 530
You should check Tam Tara and Sastasha as well as Aurum Vale
because you might be in a bonus window for one of them
Sastasha and Tam Tara hard, right?
No, normal
Huh, aight
Bonus window shifts every 2 hours and if you hit a bonus for one of those dungeons you should stick exclusively to that dungeon during it
does it say you get a bonus when you clear it?
you'll get more light than normal
Anyone know what gatherer is needed to level ALC in Ishgard restoration
Botanist
You need both botanist and miner
Alright cheers
Basically if you get "blinding" light instead of "brilliant" that's the sign that you're in a bonus window
ah aight
(blinding is double the light of brilliant)
You need 2000 "points", blinding is 96, brilliant is 48
@obsidian patio they do let you change the email address if you cant access it anymore
i just got an email from support
Torsefers has a message for you from a mysterious stranger.

ook
also, why do ppl do it? does it have good loot?
i just wanna do bc of the music

I did it cause I planned to do all the blue quests
gonna try
but ended up just enjoying the story 😹
beside it's a trial nostalgia from previous FF boss
And it wraps up the story of Regula van Hydrus from the HW leveling story
I don't want to continue MSQ and "Oh I missed that" 🤦♂️ and have to look up google for which quest to unlock
so might as well pick the blue quest when I could see it
alexander raid ost is good too tho
i do that too
but there's days where i look
and see 6893 quest icons
and say
nah
yeah all the raids are nice, you'll meet another raid questline in SB and SHB
even in ARR, although you need help if you want to finish it before HW
yall think its worth buying lvl 70 drg gear with poetics to prepare if ya got nothing else to spend them on or just go the gil route?
Whats the quickest way to get the mog tomes? Aside from the Praetorium and Castrum
rival wings
do roulettes to level your alt
wouldn't recommend doing prae/castrum just to farm tomes
Oooo i didnt even realise Rival Wings gave mog tones. Hell yeah, i love Rival Wings
Just finding groups for it. Is the hard part. Lol
Says avg wait time is over 30min o.o
Daily stuff?
all roulettes
you'll get dropped into one of the tomes dungeon eventually, and you get to level your alt jobs
these rewards are always so bad, why would i do it?
oh you are right, weird noone queue for hidden gorge
Oh yeah lol i got those done already
hey guys i can get bitter memories of the dying as any job for my main relic that im working on?
Yes. Memories are universal.
what is the fastest way to get them then? i imagine tank/healer queue, which dungeon?
skip them, unless you are just doing that 1 time blue quest
@solid garnet if youre hilariously desperate
leve NPC are useful to level doh/dol
some of the mobs can help you copy one of the blue mage spells
and you need them to finish ARR Relic quest
Well, I do use Adamantoise Tears for leveling quickly from 15-20 for alt jobs.
oh
My wife said she wanted to try out FF14 again. (She is on Faerie.) So, I decided to give FFXIV a try with their 30 day free trial thing. But, I cannot join her server based on the world list because of congestion. Does the list change over time (minutes / hours) based on congestion or are these worlds locked completely to new players for long durations of time (days / weeks)?
There is a refresh button for every 3 minutes, but I am not sure if this changes and that perhaps I could jump into the server to start my character at night or if I simply cannot join those specific servers.

wait till off-peak time
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
The HW ones are good for amber-encased vilekin you can trade for Crystal Sand for the anima relic.
"Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status." So, if I wait until past midnight based on the region, then there is a strong likelihood that the server will open up. Is that correct?
yeah
Tank/Healer queue running Antitower is generally accepted to be fastest non-Bozja method.
Thank you. Was not sure if it was a "wait a few hours" or a "wait a few months" situation.
"To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day."
Server congestion is irrelevant as of now, since no servers are congested
none of the server are congested atm
Waiting for the refresh timer on the thing.
A server not taking characters temporarily because of activity is different from being congested status
"Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online"
if it says congested
Oh, well, I must not have been using the correct term.
means you won't be able to create any character until SE lift it up
It doesn't look like I'm getting any light for my zodiac relic and the glass isn't working
I have Thyrus novus equipped
so am I like doing something wrong?
what did you do to farm?
Yeah, still shows unavailable to jump onto Faerie. So, I guess I will wait a few hours.
not sure what's the off-peak time for NA tbh
someone else here might be able to help
wait until like
I did Sastasha accidentally synced, Tam tara normal unsynced, and aurum vale unsynced.
It's not letting me use the zodiac glass
Your zodiac glass only tacks your light farmed it won't give you an exact numver
Number
Well it just straight up not giving me anything
s
It says
"unable to use zodiac glass, you do not have a compatible weapon equipped"
Wear your relic
I am
nope
Thyrus is my only Novus
You didn't apply sealant
Oh
Grease the sucker up
Where would I get a new level 60 weapon from?
MSQ or poetics shop in iddlshyre
What do you guys think would be a fitting mount for a black clothed reaper?
Ok, They're either at Ildyshire or I need to go further in MSQ
They’ve beat the 60 DRK quest so they’ve at least been to churning mists
I've just arrived at Azys Lla
Then go to idyllshire
Oh, They were in the building, I was thinking they'd be by the Aetheryte

is there a way to set waypoints from coords? for example I'm looking for a merchant and someone gives me the coords.
without eyeballing it from looking at the map
nope, reading croods is easy
i was hoping ff had an easy way to input them
You can set flags on the map, if it’s really that bad
open your map, ctrl + right click your map
then send that message to your friend
they will follow the flag you put in the map
so how much light would t13 give?
anyways i can get a Vamper's Knives without being a Alchemist?🤔

Buy it from the marketboard.
If you’re a trial player, then crafting is your only option.
ok thx
!action dream within dream
Carve and spit tooltip is dumb
Carve and spit is 450, while dream within dream is 3 x 200?
Yeah
Yeah, it is dumb flavor text
Threefold attack on c&s refers only to the animation
And the three hits for dream within dream have independent crit and direct hit?
What a fluff. Most direct contact weaponskills hit multiple times in their animation, but we don't see them saying that in the tooltip
Yeah it’s stupid
oops didn't see this. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, am i supposed to have augmented gear at lvl 42 cuz i don't
Your retainers can nab it for you.
Can the chat window be moved or scaled in size?
okay so i have one i just have to figure out how they work properly
yes, grab the general tab to move it. in the upper right hand corner of the chat box, grab that to resize
if you're sending your retainers out on quick ventures, what they can bring back is basically random from a very huge pool of items
about the only things that aren't in there are like savage/ultimate raid gear
Wow, That was very obvious lol
if you use plugins, then yes, in the native game, no
it's a little less obvious to controller players, where you need to enable Virtual Mouse Mode
oh snap thx
is there an item that removes paralysis
here is one
Rarakiya (Shop)
Ul'dah - Steps of Thal - Sapphire Avenue Exchange (13.9-9.7)
1m 21s
I wouldn’t bother using them
for HQ
why
yeah, it's not a really popular item
Using one also puts potions on cooldown
the most popular item is Echo Drops
can't i order for ps4/ps5?
and that in of itself is more of a Palace of the Dead thing
oh it renders my potion on cd?
None of the status cure items are popular
You do it via the ps store
because its handle by the psn store
because it removes the silence from the silence/pacify trap
Because statuses that can be cured aren’t very debilitating in the first place.
There's no physical copies this time for endwalker, its all digital
And digital version of ps4/5 are thru playstation store, not SE
i need to buy it twice?
the PS4 client and PS5 client are two different platforms
however if you purchase it on PS4, there is currently a free upgrade campaign going
that lets you upgrade to the PS5 version free of charge
I am not sure if it goes backwards
because i am on ps4 but my ps5 is coming in 2-3 weeks
you can buy it on PS4, and then immediately upgrade it to PS5
thing is, i need the game on both consoles.
Could I get my level 50 paladin to like, 75 before EW?
afaik there aren't 2 versions for it
even after i get my ps5
the upgrade just adds the license
ps4/5 version are bundled together
the PS4 client can be played on PS5
in compatibility mode
however, the actual PS5 client itself needs to be registered
as it is a new platform
if you buy the game on PS4, and then upgrade to the PS5 version, you can still access the PS4 version of the game
what i mean is there aren't 2 versions to buy for endwalker. all i can find for ps version is this https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0082-PPSA02954_00-C0EX04SET0000000
The Upcoming Expansion
they pretty much just give you it for free
it's actually Sony just being safe
"Platform: PS5"
and it's listed as from the PS5 store
but they probably added the "PS4" part because it can still work on PS4
which is actually a smart decision
is there a looking for group section in this server?
not really
in-game tends to be better overall
Yeah the PS4>PS5 thing isn’t an actual license upgrade
Because when my first PS5 got fried due to a thunderstorm, I was able to play on my PS4 with no issue as a backup
Most people just /shout if they need a group


yeah you could get it to 80
what was the reasoning behind changing AST's cards' effects? It seems like every card was different at release but now it's basically all same
balance and consistency
Because people fish for the best combination anyway
how does early access work for ffxiv expansions? does it just give you access to the classes a few days before official release or something?
So SE just make it less RNG dependent to get your group buff
The different card effects were a cool idea on paper but in reality everyone just fished for the Balance. Some cards were useless or potentially detrimental.
@dim rain literally play the full game early
what were initial card effects? I think I read dmg, atk speed, skill speed, mana regen?
whole expansion effectively releases on early access.
Early Access is basically just the full release
Not some bullshit "play a pre beta"
Official release date is for updating the store products
for players, from a practical perspective it's the full release.
only reason it's called early access is for marketing/store retail purposes and so that if servers struggle it doesn't sound as bad
Balance: attack
Bole: defense
Spear: crit
Arrow: haste (faster GCD)
Ewer MP regen
Spire TP regen
Spear originally was actually CD reduction.
+damage
+crit
+haste
-damage taken
+mp generation
+tp generation
If I already completed a dungeon or trial on another class for the first time if I complete it again with a new class does my new class get exp?
Spear and arrow are changed quite a few time, what I wrote is their effect in Stormblood
This is was very difficult to use effectively and could screw up people's rotations.
is there a fixed time for monster respawn? farming blu spells
Spear is the only one that changed, and only once
first time bonus applies to your character as a whole, not to the job you're on. exception to this is guildhests @eternal lance
you'll still get exp from that instance, but you won't get the first timer bonus
Ok ty
is GCD really not that effective in this game? I try to use Food that has skill / spell speed
It’s weaker than crit for most jobs
AST has a skill royal road that consume a card, and use them to buff your next:
Balance and bole: stronger buff
Ewer and spire: make your next card buff an AOE buff
Arrow and spear: longer buff
GCD speed is important but it's not something you stack for infinite linear power increase
So the optimal is get Ewer or spire, royal road them
for job optimisation usually you want to reach a certain GCD threshold, and not go under or over it.
Then play a balance, or a Spear
Most jobs have multiple different possible GCD thresholds that you can choose between which are equally viable.
AOE attack buff
besides MP and TP regen, every card seems useful. Obviously I'm saying this because I don't really know the numbers but that variation seems more interesting
Black Mage is basically the only job that really wants a ton of it
Some jobs operate best when their GCD is a full 2.5s, so they try to avoid having any skillspeed stat at all.
@ocean egret it is, but it is very RNG heavy
1/6 chance to get the card you want, and 1/3 chance for the desired royal road
So SE idea is to just massively reduce the RNG reliance
And Shuffle/Redraw didn’t have charges in stormblood
Having a GCD that doesn't fit right within one of the viable windows (i.e. too fast or too slow) can result in stuff like not fitting enough GCDs under certain raidbuffs, or cooldowns drifting out of place and not becoming ready again at the right point in your rotation to be optimal.
There are ways to bend the RNG to your will, but in the end, it is decided that it is too much work so they simply it
defense card is 99% of the time not useful.
You can't rely on it due to RNG, so you plan your defensive and healing strategy around not having it
was there any discussion of letting players choose the card? Like when you use Draw, entire card deck will shuffle one by one and you pick Draw again to lock in a card. Like Twisted Fate in LOL
so when you draw the card it's pointless.
No way to select a specific card
So if you get balance first, you store it
Best you could do was store it for later
Then you fish for Ewer or spire
Arrow (haste) was also undesirable, for many jobs it could fuck up their rotation if used on them. Basically only black mage really wanted it.
Royal road then, then play your stored balance
Spear originally was pretty useless. When it was changed to be crit, it became similar to the balance. At first it was better than the balance, then it was adjusted to be a bit worse.
So there were two good cards out of six
Balance and Spear.
Sleeve draw iirc, gives you a fresh card, a stored card, and a royal road (assuming you don't have them already)
so when you guys were playing AST back then, it was just RNG thing and didn't really add any intricate distribution or skill play
So it was a way to quickly go through more cards
Sleeve draw didn't exist when royal road did
Royal road is there since Heavensward
you're right
RR did exist in stormblood, because getting the dreaded ewer sleeve draw
I remember that meme-powered sleeve draw picture
its ewers all the way down
i cant seem to obtain an anole egg for a soilders breakfast
Lady and lord, when introduced in Stormblood, are independent of your cards
Iirc, you just press minor arcana
And it has 50/50 on becoming lady or lord
That's it
and i read that Shield healing is useless, why is that if It does 250% more protection?
The protection has a duration
Shields are only good when it's absolutely necessary to survive
shield healing is not useless
its an item that you click on in the area
but...
Diurnal is better
i heard every AST will just go for Regen instead of Shield
If you didn't need the shield to survive, you could just regen and raw heal up
That
Diurnal flat out heals more
In terms of strict potency comparison, Diurnal is better
on AST the regen stance is just more potency
Plus, you're spending 2 gcds to Shield then heal up after
Vs 1 just regening and resuming dps
and with the upcoming expansion, they are going to get rid of AST's shield healing right? Or am i remembering it wrong
You largely don't need Shields in casual content
correct
Cause nothing hits hard at all
If shield last super long or just don't expire, then shield can compete with regen
aside from a few ogcds that still apply shields
Sage is the new shielder
shield doesn't stack right?
their overall identity will be a regen healer.
Nope.
Some don't
Remember, all shield has a duration, this is how they are balanced
Sage will be the second shield hea
damn if you can stack shield, that would seems more interesting
Otherwise, shield will probably kick the shit out of regen
It wouldn't
Aspected Benefic info says regen is for 15s and shield is for 30s
You would just zero out every single mechanic
And literally ignore everything
Cause you stacked too many shields
We can already zero out damage on a handful of mechanics
yeah obviously it is something that has to be balanced but having an option would be nice instead of 'just go regen mode'
The balance is not having gcd Shields stack
And Shields costing too much of a resource
Aka a gcd
being able to stack shields but having them be small enough that it wouldn't negate all damage would make shields not worth having unless they were practically required
Diurnal flat out has more potency and Neutral gives them plenty of shield access when necessary
You don't.need Shields for EVERYTHING
Only when absolutely necessary
There are top parsers who do Diurnal ast and whm in e12s
Cause neutral covers alot
does scholar or white mage have shield?
White Mage, yes, a single target ability shield
Nocturnal is basically baby version of scholar
so with Sage, we are gonna have 2 shield healers then?
Yes
Again, really want to emphasize on shield having duration
two "pure" healers and two barrier healers.
It means that you need to strategize when to shield
So 2 pure, 2 shiel
the only reason ast ever had the binary stance choice was basically that they wanted it to be able to compete for both healer slots
Temporary hp
without leaving just one shield healer vs. two pure healers or vice versa
basically they weren't sure what to do to expand healer design.
AST is the latest healer right? and it came out with HW? So it's been a looooong time then
Yes
They've been taking the expansions to balance and solidify healer balance
Before adding a new one and messing it all up
Slightly unrelated bit of information, with the addition of sage and reaper, it is now possible to make a party with expansion only jobs
DRK, GNB
Sage, AST
Samurai, reaper
RDM, dancer, Machinist
i'm not sure the class name but archer turns into bard right? the one that buffs party members? Bard's buffs are also streamlined or is it more RNG than AST's cards
Most of Bard buff are a passive
!action wanderer's minuet
You just do your rotation
God damn it
whenever i watch some videos, i see musical notes flowing and thought you have to time it certain way to activate a buff
!action Mage's Ballad
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: Grants Mage's Ballad to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their damage dealt by 1%
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: 40% chance to grant Repertoire when damage over time is dealt by Caustic Bite or Stormbite Repertoire Effect: Resets the recast timer of Bloodletter and Rain of Death
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
is Thaumaturge the most intricate class? playwise
Ehhhh
Rotationally no
How you do the rotation plays out differently per fight, due to required movement
Thaumaturge, which becomes black mage, has a very straight forward concept
Thaumaturge is very straightforward.
i'm only like 2 months in, so i have WHM 60, Draggon 59, WAR 57 and just started AST so I was excited when the whole card system was introduced and was fun trying to give out card buff to correct party member until I realized it's just melee or ranged
They have two stances, Astral Fire, and Umbral Ice
Astral Fire boost your fire spell do more damage and consume more mp
Adapting your rotation for movement mechanics figures heavily into BLM optimisation but that goes for virtually all jobs.
Umbral Ice make your MP regen very quickly
trying to see which class will make me think and balance out what other party members are doing etc
So you burn all your MP in Astral Fire, and swap to Umbral Ice, then repeat
you align raidbuffs
The challenge here is, as said by vinyl, BLM want to stay still to cast spell
You're expecting them to DO THEIR DAMN JOB
but that's preplanned coordination
So you need to think about where to move more than other jobs do
Most raid buff alignment in casual/random content is "use on Cooldown"
Cause holding raid buffs leads to lost uses in the fight which is a 100% dps lost
You can only really hold the last use of a raid buff where you KNOW you wont get another use
Otherwise use it on Cooldown
You're expected to
most raid buff optimizations are dependent on team comp, fight downtime, and kill times
is there a way to bulk craft 3* materials? or am I stuck with a macro?
all of which you don't need to really think about unless you want to hyper optimize for one reason or another. it's not important, especially in normal content, to hyperoptimize unless you know your team will play around raid buffs
yeah it's just opener stuff
Do your opener, stuff is lined up there, use it on Cooldown and it naturally lines up
Forced Downtime throws a wrench in it but you deal with that in a fight per fight bases
ye
In general I don’t think the game works like this.
As in, you playing a harder or easier job don’t make other people’s job easier or harder
Most jobs do have deeper optimization you can work on
Well
astrologian actually has optimization based on knowing and learning other class's burst phases with standard cards tbf
For example, AST can work on remembering when does different jobs have tier burst window
Effective tanking makes a healer’s job easier
You're expecting people to press their buttons
i'm still in HW so i don't really know but I was hoping there would be some sort of intricate skill where I have to watch what other people are doing etc etc
But that’s very low ceiling stuff
Right, that make sense
If they don't they're bad
There really isnt
what do you mean? so you can give your card buff?
kinda, adjustment if someone fucks up a mechanic is a thing but i'm not sure if that counts
You expect people do their damn jobs
Do online store bardings work on any chocobo mount? Or does it have to be a specific type?
And press their buttons
but generally it is best to focus on oneself and play with the expectation people do not fuck up
But yeah, in general it’s really only when you reach endgame and consistently play with the same group, you can learn all the deep stuff
yeah what vinyl said
yes, astrologian hands out buffs to people
haha my highest toon is WHM lvl 60 so I got some ways to go
Cards are on 30s Cooldown so that generally hits something
Basically, different jobs have different times where they do high damage.
For example, Ninja enters burst every 60s. During burst, Ninja does really high DPS, but outside of its burst window, ninja barely does any.
it gets cards every 30s that give a damage boost
you can play around your teammates by giving cards to people and expecting when they have their burst phase
Be it dot application or the usual 60s burst
Bursts all revolve around 1 minute cycles
how do i get out of combat to change class?

If it’s a dummy you right click the dummy
Reset aggro something
so do you actually wait until say.. melee dps procs dmg inc buff and give out your card effect?
No
No, not really
You would always want the card draw button to be on CD
The menu that appears for loot options, is there a way to change it's settings, like where it appears, it's size, etc? It can be a little annoying when it appears largely over where my party members are.
you actually do hold the card for up to 28-ish more secs if it would benefit someone to save the card for a bit later
because if you use the card it's already off cd
Draw the loot window when it's open
did not work
But I general those are all complicated end game stuff
maybe cause i have 10 beast gauge?
No
Right click and select reset something
did you click 'reset target emnity'
actually kinda, it depends
for example, DRG is a class that has damage windows that can end up at 90s so you would apply a card to them when you expect them to do damage at that point
same with MCH where it does occasional burst windows at 90s due to its resource generation
MCH burst is pretty consistent 60/120
damn you guys actually know how long each class's dmg inc buff last. impressive
Since MCH have robot
Then you aren't In combat with it
it is, but intermittent heat blasts between bursts are a good spot to give a card
well when you can play every class in the game with the click of a button it's only natural that you sort of learn the rotation
Yeah, since in this game you are allowed to play all jobs... experienced players kinda just know everything
Cause that's how the game works
They're 60 or 90s bursts
it's pretty key optimisation knowledge at endgame. Jobs are generally described as having 60s, 90s or 120s rotations
unless they're cursed like bard with its 80s
having knowledge of how other classes play makes you a better player
thank god BRD's lining up with people in EW
Summoner be like “haha my 120/240 rotation go brrr”
They burst every minute
But everytime i try tô teleport It says "unable tô execute while in combate"
is there any skill that does more dmg when target is stunned or sleeping etc etc?
Oh right
no
Maybe is a bug then?
Then find the dummy you're in combat with
SMN is 2 min rotation
No
crowd control effects is generally never used in boss fights
Cause that would be fucking useless
it is used at most in side content or dungeon adds
Bosses can't be CC
Outside of ARR dumbnes
boss's skill can't be interrupted unless you use Interject?
That's only for specific skills
They usually can’t be interrupted period
!faq interrupt
Interject only work for like a few stuff
usually interject is also used for mechanics that you need to skip too in harder content
like e7s bird casts
and sos ex add enrages
Some dungeon bosses (generally in ARR) can also be stunned.
i thought Stun immune just meant it's not stunned but skill is still interrupted. Welp I learned something lol
yeah in endgame content interrupt is mandatory for certain mechanics
Crowd control in general is useless outside of trash mobs
after like level 50, most bosses cannot ever really be interrupted
And solo stuf
so you will be forced to do mechanics that the designers want you to do
which is all of them
wait know on the right there is bar saying striking dummy as enemy
Haha e10s uptime orbs go brrr
Cause you're out of range
Go find it
Target it
And reset enmity on the target bar
or if you get really far away it will also disappear
but it's simpler to just do the right click thing
damn thanks for all your help veterans. Definitely learned more abt this game lol
yeah i agree. i'm still just on free trial but it's fun
Yeah
but god damn DPS dungeon wait time is long as hell
well i will close the game then
If you want to do high end stuff you might be able to find a static for synced Alexander?
yeah i was at the portal for 10 minuts
think it was a bug
ok
i really need some help now
i still cant get out of combat and i stayed still for 10 minutes
is this fight supposed to take forever?
Focus the big mech
1% health per fire IV
Are you in Shire
what?
no
i thought was the enemy hotbar
im using gear better than shire
nuice thanks
The mech is the boss of the instance
Is there something in particular to unlock Alphascape (Savage)? Done all the normal ones and the allagan node doesn't unloick it
What should i meld for gathering? Im currently over lvl70 with btn and min
I think the whole questline needs to be completed first
I think I figured it out. I was missing the last quest in the line
is it worth it to level the trust party ?
so im lv 40 , how do you enable rook autoturret?
Do your job quests
where i find then? I was off for 6 months so still trying to remember stuff
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Look at this
so much light does gentle light give for zodiac weapons?
And click the quest under it, the number 2 in the image
thanks
16 out of 2000 total
so I joined a blue party for t2 and we're clearing around 40-59 seconds every run, that's faster than running aurum vale and tam tara hard every time right
Hi any idea what to spend on for the event tomestones first? Im new recently reached HW
Where is allied seal huntsmaster
Sounds nice
by a gc place
In the lobby of your GC
Unless I'm confusing npcs
How do i know if he/she is a huntsmaster?
because they're called hunt billmaster
so i guess it's pointless

kinda
there's an achievement for getting them to 80
but the characters are built to artificially take 30+ minutes per dungeon
GNB relic weapon, skill speed and crit hit?
oh, skill speed not recommended, crit/det it is
gnb and tanks generally want some sks
but unless you’re doing savage and higher, just max crit/ det for simplicity
Oh, wait, so, when I saw vids, of people aka asmongold kek doing the endgame content, and the loot was like a, select and choose who gets it deal, that was a premade team loot setting, not built into the actual open system?
It's Lootmaster
Ok, Because I was thinking that's how the mount drops and all worked for those extreme trials and all, but I was like "How would that work in open queuing?"
Yeah no everyone rolls need and you pray on rng
Yeah open queue just uses “Normal” loot rules
Has to be a fully premade group to have lootmaster
speaking of lootmaster. whats the general consensus of it?
If it’s PF just don’t join
I think it would work for a static that has set goals
If it’s static it works
I want to make a Lootmaster PF where mounts are free for everyone in PF (I roll pass). I just want the boss mat
Don’t think static disbanding because raid leader does a ninja loot is really common
But no
I personally don’t join lootmaster PF at all
Even with such a ruleset? Was kind of what I was worried of
It just sounds like those “clear for alt” PFs
Well, the rule set is only “Leader decides who gets what”
Since it’s PF, leader is probably gonna play dirty anyway
It’s not like you can witch hunt them back
But if I put "i will pass mount" and I steal it Im at risk of being banned arent I? (I wont do it but you get the idea)
Nah
No one really cares
I mean
Maybe?
Then again even if you get banned for 3 days I still get nothing
I just assume when people make lootmaster PF, they are gonna ninja loot
Ive been to... 2 Lootmaster PFs?
One was a scumbag who left after getting his mount (I was only there for tails anyway) and the other stayed and made sure everyone got theirs
Yeah
Basically it's real purpose is for people to run it with friends, or FC, people who trust eachother, and just do repeated runs for the drops, and take turns on who claims it
I see. So if I try lootmaster with randoms "expect nobody to join"
Well, ymmv
Sometimes people join...?
In general we are in NA, we aren’t JP here
In JP people are more honest
But that is also because from what I heard, in JP, it’s much more socially acceptable to witch hunt someone until they stop using PF if they offend you
There's always such a difference with NA and Asia communities in games
Like I heard if you do loot wrong in JP, people will black list you for savage raiding
Like, not in game black list
Manual black list discord
Sharing what players are on black list
Yeah I just want boss materials and I get memed off need rolls. I really need meant "you actually need it" and not "I sold 4 of them already on MB"
Well yeah, then denying other people who helped their chance to roll seems pretty scummy
Since it’s like 1.2m for everyone
Not like it’s only useful for some people
Well the way I see it is.
"if you join this PF. i will roll for the boss mat. You can all have the mount."
Yeah, but in general just don’t trust people that much
Like, it rarely works
But yeah, who am I to say?
It’s worth a try lol!
Maybe it works?
But in general I just prefer to do stuff fair and square
Just normal loot, everyone roll what they need
It’s not efficient
But at least it’s fair
I have a pretty sizable KC overall but ill try my hand at melting greed weapons.
then again its only 1.2m
Usually if an item is worth barely anything to me, but worth a lot for someone else, I’m fine passing
might be better to just make the gil and buy it
Like for example, someone want a Diamond Weapon for an alt job, I can pass
I don’t get much from dysnth that
Yeah
Cant desynth DW weapons anyway
Whenever it comes to finding "trustworthy" people, I always just find a active guild in this case FC, that looks to have a good rep and investment to do those types of things, that's just the closest you'll ever get.
Yeah
since 520 is the desynth cap
It’s just gonna be in the glamour dresser until 6.0
if i made a character on a preferred server but then 1 days after it switched back to standard am i still eligible for the 15 days free?
Yeah, that’s how I do things
If something can be traded for money, it’s fair for everyone
Like, for you the boss mat is worth 1.2 mil, for a random other person it’s the same
Granted, there are a lot of items in game that don’t work like this
But for those things that can be traded for money? Yeah, they are just fair for all
Im just glad non tradables are a one off deal
I actually managed to get of the few AR minions after enough attempts
Kinda wish there was an option to "auto-pass" on already owned/obtained items, when it comes to like, minions, music scrolls, etc.
hey can someone join me in an undersized party for Arum Vale, gotta get Cyclops dudes power "glower"
you can solo it synced
just get mighty guard and basic instinct
and remember to heal

iirc glowers also a 100% drop anyway so go melt them in lv70 gear
Can I make my hotbars smaller than 60%?
tyty, all done 😄
Does anyone mind talking about jobs? (in game)
I love summoner
But I wish I was using a melee weapon
I love the strategy of summoner and how dreadwyrm trace resets my DOTS and how I can summon bahamut
Ik there be a 1 to one replica of SMN in a melee but I haven't played many melees so maybe there is
SMN gets a melee attack and charge in ifrit phase in endwalker, also that is not a question
Anyone know how I can add a bed on top of my loft? I can’t add furniture on it for some reason.
is the song that plays in the shifting oubliettes of lyhe ghiah an orchestrion roll?
I was thinking a job with a sword
Or spear
Or raiper
Or two swords
Cuz I haven't played much of them
I dont like how fast paced dragoon is though
you might like red mage
plus summoner is getting a rework for endwalker, has some stuff you might like
Speaking of rdm, why does reprise seem useless
It's no
Why would you ever use it though
movement?
You can reprise twice per min without losing dps
Yes
You can't always trigger dualcas
like during holminster when you have to run in a circle?
Dangertek doesn't have an orchestrion roll apparently
Yes
So damn good. If I'm being honest though, I kind of wish this music would play throughout the encounters as well, but alas. It's not exactly new because snippets of it could be heard during Culling Time in The Feast but it's the first time to be present in full (outside of the Stormblood OST). As for the shifting altar, it's a lot of fun, even i...
huh
darn
for long movement sure, but they're very nice at slowly shuffling across the field xD
Would probably be one of the best if engagement was ogcd non-shared with displacement
anyone able to help me out in getting 1000 needles and sardine throw for my blue mage...?
that wouldnt make sense, engagement is so you can use that cooldown when you can't jump out
I've tried red mage a lot but I just remeber it not being very fun with it'd melee combos
cause it's not a melee class
it's a ranged class cosplaying as melee
I am stupid lol
It's a ranged that wants to be melee so it uses that burst window like it's sneaking downstairs at midnight to get a snack
I think ill try it again
I keep feeling bad because I keep using roulettes on classes I don't end up playing
nothign wrong with that
If you're not needing lvl 80 roulette stuff it's mostly for xp
´hey, im tryin to unlock the alexander raid and it says that i just have to pick up the quest in idilshyre and that the only prerequisite is having HV complete. the npc does not have a quest for me tho. is there any hidden thing i have to do ?
I just feel obligated to get to 80 on some more classes before EW
And I also like playing tank
might've picked it before
then you just didn't continue
check out your journal
I think ill keep leveling my paladin
But I dont think it's too fair to judge a class at level 50 n stuff
i cant believe im that stupid. maybe just tired ... lmao. thank you ❤️
this worked btw lol
happens, you just pick the quest, It asks you to do duty, "Oh let's just wait till roulette drop me into that duty"
then continue MSQ
definitely
Does anyone know how I can switch to just digital on my ps4 for ffxiv?
So I own a real reborn , heavenward on digital, but for some dumb reason I bought stormblood on ps4 disc and I have shadowbringers (on digital). However when I try and take out my Stormblood disc it tells me I must place the shadowbringers disc in the ps4 (it's the storm blood disc but it tells me it's shadowbringers.)
Anyone know how I can fix this so I can just run the ps4 without the cd in it ? Online says stormblood is discontinued and that ordering Endwalker buys all the expansions so will it fix itself during the xpac launch ?

Green diamonds are full for Dravanian Hinterlands, but the yellows are not. What does that mean?
Remind me, 10 green diamonds, or 10 yellow diamonds?
10 green diamonds I have. But I have 2/5 yellows
Yellow diamond comes from doing your
or 
Yellow diamonds are quest diamonds.
ohhh so I gotta do the quests in this area? Trying to reach the lightkix npc for Alexander
if i die as a blu and res to dungeon start, will i still get the skill when the boss dies?
or do i have to be alive in arena
I believe that you need to get the kill, which means scenario two
interesting, apparently some quests ignore "not high enough level" rule? it's letting me turn in lvl2 quest as lvl1
Is there a way to turn off chat bubble when someone finalizes
Sometimes they are locked in a quest chain, so either Google the quests for the area that give the diamonds or do allt he ones in the area if your feeling jiggy. @uneven lance
thank you
Perhaps, but it is so low in the level that it hardly matters
Won't work on higher level quests
Awesome thank you @karmic granite & everyone!
That class req is LV 1
quick question, what's the best crafting/gathering for making gil?
doesn't say that anywhere on the quest interface
Why is my synthesis breaking at 5 durability with careful synth?
because careful synth uses 10 durability?
does it not still count as complete even if the durability cost goes over?
I did finish it though...
must have miscalculated by small amount
eat a bagel that gives you craftsmanship or something
how do you repeat 21-30 of heaven on high?
whats a weapon for dark knight to get at level 50?
ironworks
Augmented ironworks
Yes and yes
when would be the next level
