tropic frigate
#

I still have this quest in my journal, is the fate popping up then because it points still to here?

faint flare
#

No

#

Abandon it

tropic frigate
#

Same story with this?

faint flare
#

Yes

tropic frigate
#

Ok

faint flare
#

All event quests that have gone by are incompletable

warm snow
#

Youve been collecting events and ignoring them

#

Iirc somewhere near the bottom of the quest text it mentions that they expire

tropic frigate
#

Hey, I welcome it cleaning up my journal tho

gusty pier
#

Dumb question but, the pre order mount for endwalker, we get it when Endwalker releases right? Same for the Reaper weapon

faint flare
#

When you register the regular expansion code during early access

gusty pier
#

Wait so theres 2 codes?

faint flare
#

Yes

gusty pier
#

I just bought it on the SE store, got 1 code that gave me early access, the earrings and the minion

faint flare
#

Preorder and the expansions code itself

gusty pier
#

I see, and that code we get it on the 23rd right?

faint flare
#

The other code comes during early access

#

There's a lodestone post about it and everything when it's available

gusty pier
#

Alright, thanks for the info. Gotta check the order again when its early access

smoky totem
#

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?

hasty musk
#

same home world

lone totem
#

if I remember right, you need to have the same home world

#

despite protests

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

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

If it looks fun try it out

pulsar haven
#

What does the blue cross mean? ❌

hasty musk
#

you can't equip it

pulsar haven
#

Ok ty

spice kraken
#

can different races have babies?

#

like a lala and a roe

glad grail
twilit arch
#

yes

agile laurel
#

kinda weirdchamp but there are halfbreed characters in the game

twilit arch
#

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

glad grail
#

The only halfbreed is that redheaded catboi and he had some weird clone thing going on

twilit arch
#

and the devs also don't want to make half breed models

#

that's not true at all

raven bolt
#

Is ishgard housing slotted for 6.0?

twilit arch
#

and he's not a halfbreed either

spice kraken
#

i know hilda is half elezen

twilit arch
#

Hilda is half elezen, half hyur

glad grail
#

Yeah, her to I guess.

twilit arch
#

Arenvald is half garlean, half highlander

hasty musk
#

iirc

twilit arch
#

and we have the side quest chain in the ruby sea that talks about a half au ra, and half hyur child

glad grail
twilit arch
#

garleans are not hyur

agile laurel
#

no, garleans are biologically distinct

#

they just look similar

Sorry i have question
Is getting crafting material from HW monster is grindy?

#

for trial extreme one

agile laurel

not particularly y

faint flare
#

It's an rng drop

#

So

spice kraken
#

what about lala roe

agile laurel
#

you can unsync them for quick farms

limpid matrix
glad grail
#

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

faint flare
#

On Cooldown

twilit arch
#

as i said, player races (and garleans) are capable of interbreeding with each other

faint flare
#

You never hold them

#

Unless downtime is literally about to happen

#

Holding leads to lost uses which leads to 100% dps lost

lilac nacelle
#

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?

faint flare
#

That comes to fight specific optimisation padding

lilac nacelle
#

ok

faint flare
#

If adds are about to spawn very soon, you can hold for that P A D D I N G

lilac nacelle
#

so that means never wait for standard finish until the buff runs out

faint flare
#

But you never hold for extended periods

#

Correct

#

Holding it for 60s means you lose 1000 potency every minute

lilac nacelle
#

the casting does take a few seconds, so I wouldn't say exactly every minute, but I know what you mean

#

(or rather dancing)

faint flare
#

It's Cooldown starts when you press iy

#

Regardless how long it takes you

lilac nacelle
#

mmh true

faint flare
#

So yes, it's 1000 potency lost every minute

heavy wadi
#

are the koijin beast tribes even worth doing to help level alt jobs?

faint flare
#

Yes

raw granite
#

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

faint flare
#

Pixies only give alot cause there's only 1 combat

#

It's the equiliant of both combat tribe xp put together

raw granite
#

good point

pearl mesa
#

Anyone got advice on what to spend yellow crafter scrip on? I have all crafter classes leveled to 80 and all the recipe books.

twilit arch
#

stock up on materia

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

I haven’t heard of it happen

#

So you’ll need to ask yourself in support

leaden ginkgo
#

i already did just curious

fallen niche
#

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?

modest igloo
#

aurum vale these days

#

if you have ilvl 500+

sudden dock
#

does thunderstorms mean ixion is able to spawn?

fallen niche
#

Well currently with the weapon I'm only IL 463

#

actually 465

#

every other piece of my gear is 530

primal gull
#

You should check Tam Tara and Sastasha as well as Aurum Vale

#

because you might be in a bonus window for one of them

fallen niche
#

Sastasha and Tam Tara hard, right?

primal gull
#

No, normal

fallen niche
#

Huh, aight

primal gull
#

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

fallen niche
#

does it say you get a bonus when you clear it?

primal gull
#

you'll get more light than normal

rugged crypt
#

Anyone know what gatherer is needed to level ALC in Ishgard restoration

fallen niche
#

Botanist

twilit arch
#

You need both botanist and miner

rugged crypt
#

Alright cheers

#

ah aight

(blinding is double the light of brilliant)

Very nice looking bosses

patent citrus
#

I did it cause I planned to do all the blue quests

solid garnet
#

gonna try

patent citrus
#

but ended up just enjoying the story 😹

#

beside it's a trial nostalgia from previous FF boss

obsidian patio
#

And it wraps up the story of Regula van Hydrus from the HW leveling story

patent citrus
#

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

solid garnet
#

alexander raid ost is good too tho

solid garnet

but there's days where i look

and see 6893 quest icons

#

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?

poetics are always nice

#

just farm Omega

#

anything that's not o12s is pretty easy

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats the quickest way to get the mog tomes? Aside from the Praetorium and Castrum

patent citrus
#

rival wings

#

do roulettes to level your alt

#

wouldn't recommend doing prae/castrum just to farm tomes

leaden ginkgo
#

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

patent citrus
#

shouldn't be too hard during tome event

#

it's a popular way to farm it

leaden ginkgo
#

Says avg wait time is over 30min o.o

patent citrus
#

or just change to your alt and do the daily stuffs

#

once a day

leaden ginkgo
#

Daily stuff?

patent citrus
#

all roulettes

#

you'll get dropped into one of the tomes dungeon eventually, and you get to level your alt jobs

solid garnet
#

these rewards are always so bad, why would i do it?

patent citrus
#

oh you are right, weird noone queue for hidden gorge

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the fastest way to get them then? i imagine tank/healer queue, which dungeon?

patent citrus
hard aurora
#

@solid garnet if youre hilariously desperate

patent citrus
#

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

queen fern

Well, I do use Adamantoise Tears for leveling quickly from 15-20 for alt jobs.

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.

Why can't I enter this server?

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.

queen fern
#

The HW ones are good for amber-encased vilekin you can trade for Crystal Sand for the anima relic.

cursive spoke
#

"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?

patent citrus
#

yeah

queen fern
cursive spoke
#

Thank you. Was not sure if it was a "wait a few hours" or a "wait a few months" situation.

patent citrus
#

"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."

hasty musk
#

Server congestion is irrelevant as of now, since no servers are congested

patent citrus
#

none of the server are congested atm

cursive spoke
#

Waiting for the refresh timer on the thing.

hasty musk
#

A server not taking characters temporarily because of activity is different from being congested status

patent citrus
#

"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

cursive spoke
#

Oh, well, I must not have been using the correct term.

patent citrus
#

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?

cursive spoke
#

Yeah, still shows unavailable to jump onto Faerie. So, I guess I will wait a few hours.

patent citrus
#

not sure what's the off-peak time for NA tbh

#

someone else here might be able to help

wait until like

Yeah

Threefold attack on c&s refers only to the animation

here is one

#

Rarakiya (Shop)
Ul'dah - Steps of Thal - Sapphire Avenue Exchange (13.9-9.7)

leaden ginkgo
#

roger, thanks

#

1m30s cd?

lone totem
#

1m 21s

jade quartz
#

I wouldn’t bother using them

lone totem
#

for HQ

leaden ginkgo
lone totem
#

yeah, it's not a really popular item

jade quartz
#

Using one also puts potions on cooldown

lone totem
#

the most popular item is Echo Drops

tidal yarrow
#

can't i order for ps4/ps5?

lone totem
#

and that in of itself is more of a Palace of the Dead thing

leaden ginkgo
#

oh it renders my potion on cd?

jade quartz
#

None of the status cure items are popular

faint flare
twilit arch
lone totem
#

because it removes the silence from the silence/pacify trap

jade quartz
#

Because statuses that can be cured aren’t very debilitating in the first place.

twilit arch
#

There's no physical copies this time for endwalker, its all digital

#

And digital version of ps4/5 are thru playstation store, not SE

tidal yarrow
#

okay thanks!

#

and if i get it on p4 ill have it on PS5?

lone totem
#

you won't

#

at least, not right away

tidal yarrow
#

i need to buy it twice?

lone totem
#

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

tidal yarrow
#

because i am on ps4 but my ps5 is coming in 2-3 weeks

lone totem
#

you can buy it on PS4, and then immediately upgrade it to PS5

tidal yarrow
#

thing is, i need the game on both consoles.

atomic jewel
#

Could I get my level 50 paladin to like, 75 before EW?

twilit arch
#

afaik there aren't 2 versions for it

tidal yarrow
#

even after i get my ps5

lone totem
#

the upgrade just adds the license

twilit arch
#

ps4/5 version are bundled together

lone totem
#

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

twilit arch
lone totem
#

they pretty much just give you it for free

tidal yarrow
#

oh okay.. mm

#

okay thanks

lone totem
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a looking for group section in this server?

modest igloo
#

in-game tends to be better overall

obsidian patio
#

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

boreal storm
#

Most people just /shout if they need a group

obsidian patio
#

It’s k, I told GameStop it just stopped working so I got a free replacement

😎

jade quartz
ocean egret
#

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

warped nest
#

Because people fish for the best combination anyway

obsidian patio
#

90% of the time you only ever wanted Balance + AoE

#

Or Spear + AoE as a backup

dim rain
#

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?

warped nest
#

So SE just make it less RNG dependent to get your group buff

jade quartz
#

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.

warped nest
#

@dim rain literally play the full game early

ocean egret
#

what were initial card effects? I think I read dmg, atk speed, skill speed, mana regen?

jade quartz
obsidian patio
warped nest
#

Not some bullshit "play a pre beta"

obsidian patio
#

Official release date is for updating the store products

jade quartz
#

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

warped nest
jade quartz
#

Spear originally was actually CD reduction.

obsidian patio
eternal lance
#

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?

warped nest
#

Spear and arrow are changed quite a few time, what I wrote is their effect in Stormblood

jade quartz
#

This is was very difficult to use effectively and could screw up people's rotations.

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a fixed time for monster respawn? farming blu spells

jade quartz
#

Spear is the only one that changed, and only once

twilit arch
#

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

ocean egret
#

is GCD really not that effective in this game? I try to use Food that has skill / spell speed

obsidian patio
#

It’s weaker than crit for most jobs

warped nest
#

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

jade quartz
#

GCD speed is important but it's not something you stack for infinite linear power increase

warped nest
#

So the optimal is get Ewer or spire, royal road them

jade quartz
#

for job optimisation usually you want to reach a certain GCD threshold, and not go under or over it.

warped nest
#

Then play a balance, or a Spear

jade quartz
#

Most jobs have multiple different possible GCD thresholds that you can choose between which are equally viable.

warped nest
#

AOE attack buff

ocean egret
#

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

obsidian patio
#

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.

warped nest
#

@ocean egret it is, but it is very RNG heavy

obsidian patio
#

1/6 chance to get the card you want, and 1/3 chance for the desired royal road

warped nest
#

So SE idea is to just massively reduce the RNG reliance

obsidian patio
#

And Shuffle/Redraw didn’t have charges in stormblood

jade quartz
#

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.

warped nest
#

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

jade quartz
#

You can't rely on it due to RNG, so you plan your defensive and healing strategy around not having it

ocean egret
#

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

jade quartz
#

so when you draw the card it's pointless.

warped nest
#

Iirc, you can store a card

#

So you have two cards to play

obsidian patio
#

No way to select a specific card

warped nest
#

So if you get balance first, you store it

obsidian patio
#

Best you could do was store it for later

warped nest
#

Then you fish for Ewer or spire

jade quartz
#

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.

warped nest
#

Royal road then, then play your stored balance

jade quartz
#

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.

warped nest
#

Sleeve draw iirc, gives you a fresh card, a stored card, and a royal road (assuming you don't have them already)

ocean egret
#

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

warped nest
#

So it was a way to quickly go through more cards

jade quartz
#

Sleeve draw didn't exist when royal road did

warped nest
#

And try to get good combination

#

Sleeve draw is Stormblood

jade quartz
#

yeah

#

hold up damnit

#

timeline failure

#

sorry

warped nest
#

Royal road is there since Heavensward

jade quartz
#

you're right

twilit arch
#

RR did exist in stormblood, because getting the dreaded ewer sleeve draw

obsidian patio
#

I remember that meme-powered sleeve draw picture

twilit arch
#

its ewers all the way down

obsidian patio
#

Ewer, Stored Ewer, Expanded, and Lady of Crowns

#

(Lady was an oGCD heal)

leaden ginkgo
#

i cant seem to obtain an anole egg for a soilders breakfast

warped nest
#

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

ocean egret
#

and i read that Shield healing is useless, why is that if It does 250% more protection?

warped nest
#

The protection has a duration

faint flare
#

Shields are only good when it's absolutely necessary to survive

jade quartz
#

shield healing is not useless

twilit arch
jade quartz
#

but...

warped nest
#

Diurnal is better

ocean egret
#

i heard every AST will just go for Regen instead of Shield

faint flare
#

If you didn't need the shield to survive, you could just regen and raw heal up

warped nest
#

That

faint flare
#

Diurnal flat out heals more

obsidian patio
#

In terms of strict potency comparison, Diurnal is better

jade quartz
#

on AST the regen stance is just more potency

faint flare
#

Plus, you're spending 2 gcds to Shield then heal up after

#

Vs 1 just regening and resuming dps

ocean egret
#

and with the upcoming expansion, they are going to get rid of AST's shield healing right? Or am i remembering it wrong

faint flare
#

You largely don't need Shields in casual content

faint flare
#

Cause nothing hits hard at all

warped nest
#

If shield last super long or just don't expire, then shield can compete with regen

jade quartz
#

aside from a few ogcds that still apply shields

boreal storm
#

Sage is the new shielder

ocean egret
#

shield doesn't stack right?

jade quartz
#

their overall identity will be a regen healer.

queen fern
#

Nope.

warped nest
#

Some don't

faint flare
#

Not with scholar gcd shields

#

Off global Shields stack

#

Gcd Shields dont

warped nest
#

Remember, all shield has a duration, this is how they are balanced

faint flare
#

Sage will be the second shield hea

ocean egret
#

damn if you can stack shield, that would seems more interesting

warped nest
#

Otherwise, shield will probably kick the shit out of regen

ocean egret
#

Aspected Benefic info says regen is for 15s and shield is for 30s

faint flare
#

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

ocean egret
#

yeah obviously it is something that has to be balanced but having an option would be nice instead of 'just go regen mode'

faint flare
#

The balance is not having gcd Shields stack

#

And Shields costing too much of a resource

#

Aka a gcd

warped nest
#

And giving shield duration

#

Shield having duration is a form of balancing too

hasty musk
#

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

faint flare
#

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

ocean egret
#

does scholar or white mage have shield?

faint flare
#

Scholar has many

#

It's THE shield healer

warped nest
#

White Mage, yes, a single target ability shield

jade quartz
#

white mage just has divine benison

#

which is a small ogcd shield

faint flare
#

Nocturnal is basically baby version of scholar

ocean egret
#

so with Sage, we are gonna have 2 shield healers then?

faint flare
#

Yes

warped nest
#

Again, really want to emphasize on shield having duration

faint flare
#

And astro becomes a pure healer

#

Like whm

jade quartz
#

two "pure" healers and two barrier healers.

warped nest
#

It means that you need to strategize when to shield

faint flare
#

So 2 pure, 2 shiel

warped nest
#

Shield is, in effect, additional health point

#

But it doesn't last forever

jade quartz
#

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

faint flare
#

Temporary hp

jade quartz
#

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.

ocean egret
#

AST is the latest healer right? and it came out with HW? So it's been a looooong time then

warped nest
#

Yes

faint flare
#

They've been taking the expansions to balance and solidify healer balance

#

Before adding a new one and messing it all up

warped nest
#

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

ocean egret
#

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

faint flare
#

They're static

#

They're part of your songs

warped nest
#

Most of Bard buff are a passive

faint flare
#

Which is a set rotation

#

You don't think about them

warped nest
#

!action wanderer's minuet

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

You just do your rotation

warped nest
#

God damn it

ocean egret
#

whenever i watch some videos, i see musical notes flowing and thought you have to time it certain way to activate a buff

faint flare
#

That's just the dot procs

#

Triggering the song effect

warped nest
#

!action Mage's Ballad

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Mage's Ballad** : lvl 30 BRD (80.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Additional Effect: Grants Mage's Ballad to all party members within 30 yalms, increasing their damage dealt by 1%

This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.

warped nest
#

"increasing damage dealt by 1 percent"

#

Bard has 3 songs with this bonus effects

ocean egret
#

is Thaumaturge the most intricate class? playwise

warped nest
#

Ehhhh

faint flare
#

Rotationally no

#

How you do the rotation plays out differently per fight, due to required movement

warped nest
#

Thaumaturge, which becomes black mage, has a very straight forward concept

jade quartz
#

Thaumaturge is very straightforward.

ocean egret
#

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

warped nest
#

They have two stances, Astral Fire, and Umbral Ice

#

Astral Fire boost your fire spell do more damage and consume more mp

jade quartz
#

Adapting your rotation for movement mechanics figures heavily into BLM optimisation but that goes for virtually all jobs.

warped nest
#

Umbral Ice make your MP regen very quickly

ocean egret
#

trying to see which class will make me think and balance out what other party members are doing etc

warped nest
#

So you burn all your MP in Astral Fire, and swap to Umbral Ice, then repeat

faint flare
#

You don't think about what your party is doing

#

For any job really

jade quartz
#

you align raidbuffs

warped nest
#

The challenge here is, as said by vinyl, BLM want to stay still to cast spell

faint flare
#

You're expecting them to DO THEIR DAMN JOB

jade quartz
#

but that's preplanned coordination

warped nest
#

So you need to think about where to move more than other jobs do

faint flare
#

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

outer mural
#

most raid buff optimizations are dependent on team comp, fight downtime, and kill times

raven bolt
#

is there a way to bulk craft 3* materials? or am I stuck with a macro?

outer mural
#

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

jade quartz
faint flare
#

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

outer mural
#

ye

ripe hound
#

Most jobs do have deeper optimization you can work on

jade quartz
#

Well

outer mural
#

astrologian actually has optimization based on knowing and learning other class's burst phases with standard cards tbf

ripe hound
#

For example, AST can work on remembering when does different jobs have tier burst window

jade quartz
#

Effective tanking makes a healer’s job easier

faint flare
#

You're expecting people to press their buttons

ocean egret
#

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

jade quartz
#

But that’s very low ceiling stuff

ripe hound
#

Right, that make sense

faint flare
#

If they don't they're bad

ocean egret
outer mural
faint flare
#

You expect people do their damn jobs

glad robin
#

Do online store bardings work on any chocobo mount? Or does it have to be a specific type?

faint flare
#

And press their buttons

outer mural
#

but generally it is best to focus on oneself and play with the expectation people do not fuck up

ripe hound
outer mural
#

yeah what vinyl said

outer mural
ocean egret
faint flare
#

Cards are on 30s Cooldown so that generally hits something

ripe hound
outer mural
#

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

faint flare
#

Be it dot application or the usual 60s burst

#

Bursts all revolve around 1 minute cycles

odd bobcat
#

how do i get out of combat to change class?

ripe hound
#

Reset aggro something

ocean egret
#

so do you actually wait until say.. melee dps procs dmg inc buff and give out your card effect?

faint flare
#

No

faint flare
#

Cause it should happen as you draw the card

#

Cause again

#

Cards are on 30s Cooldown

ripe hound
#

You would always want the card draw button to be on CD

faint flare
#

And burst are on 60s

#

So

#

Every other card is someone's burst

ripe hound
#

In EW it will be more complicated

#

Since Draw have charges

neat patrol
#

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.

outer mural
#

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

faint flare
odd bobcat
ripe hound
#

But I general those are all complicated end game stuff

odd bobcat
#

maybe cause i have 10 beast gauge?

faint flare
#

No

ripe hound
outer mural
#

did you click 'reset target emnity'

faint flare
#

Right click > RESET emnity

#

On all dummies you hit

outer mural
#

same with MCH where it does occasional burst windows at 90s due to its resource generation

ripe hound
#

MCH burst is pretty consistent 60/120

ocean egret
#

damn you guys actually know how long each class's dmg inc buff last. impressive

odd bobcat
#

only attack command

ripe hound
#

Since MCH have robot

faint flare
outer mural
#

it is, but intermittent heat blasts between bursts are a good spot to give a card

raven bolt
ripe hound
faint flare
#

They're 60 or 90s bursts

jade quartz
#

unless they're cursed like bard with its 80s

outer mural
#

having knowledge of how other classes play makes you a better player

#

thank god BRD's lining up with people in EW

ripe hound
#

Summoner be like “haha my 120/240 rotation go brrr”

faint flare
#

They burst every minute

odd bobcat
ocean egret
#

is there any skill that does more dmg when target is stunned or sleeping etc etc?

ripe hound
#

Oh right

outer mural
#

no

odd bobcat
#

Maybe is a bug then?

faint flare
#

Then find the dummy you're in combat with

ripe hound
#

SMN is 2 min rotation

outer mural
#

crowd control effects is generally never used in boss fights

faint flare
#

Cause that would be fucking useless

outer mural
#

it is used at most in side content or dungeon adds

faint flare
#

Bosses can't be CC

ripe hound
#

Yeah, we barely have any CC in end game fights

#

There are a few... extremely few

faint flare
#

Outside of ARR dumbnes

ocean egret
#

boss's skill can't be interrupted unless you use Interject?

faint flare
#

That's only for specific skills

ripe hound
#

They usually can’t be interrupted period

outer mural
#

yes

#

and it's only for specific skills too

faint flare
#

!faq interrupt

zinc orbitBOT
#
Interrupting Actions

A flashing gauge indicates actions that can be interrupted, preventing enemies from using certain ability casts. Interject, Head Graze, Flying Sardine, and Bad Breath are player actions that have this effect.

ripe hound
#

Interject only work for like a few stuff

faint flare
#

Only those casts can be Interrupted

#

Nothing else

outer mural
#

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

jade quartz
#

Some dungeon bosses (generally in ARR) can also be stunned.

ocean egret
#

i thought Stun immune just meant it's not stunned but skill is still interrupted. Welp I learned something lol

ripe hound
#

ARR magic thumb2

#

Yeah game is weird

jade quartz
#

yeah in endgame content interrupt is mandatory for certain mechanics

faint flare
#

Crowd control in general is useless outside of trash mobs

outer mural
#

after like level 50, most bosses cannot ever really be interrupted

faint flare
#

And solo stuf

outer mural
#

so you will be forced to do mechanics that the designers want you to do

#

which is all of them

odd bobcat
#

wait know on the right there is bar saying striking dummy as enemy

ripe hound
#

Haha e10s uptime orbs go brrr

odd bobcat
#

But if i try to right click it does not go away

#

left*

faint flare
#

Cause you're out of range

#

Go find it

#

Target it

#

And reset enmity on the target bar

jade quartz
#

or if you get really far away it will also disappear

#

but it's simpler to just do the right click thing

ocean egret
#

damn thanks for all your help veterans. Definitely learned more abt this game lol

ripe hound
#

Ayy

#

Game is pretty fun

ocean egret
#

yeah i agree. i'm still just on free trial but it's fun

ripe hound
#

Yeah

but god damn DPS dungeon wait time is long as hell

odd bobcat

well i will close the game then

ripe hound

If you want to do high end stuff you might be able to find a static for synced Alexander?

odd bobcat
#

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

jade quartz
#

staying still has nothing to do with it

#

go find the dummy

is this fight supposed to take forever?

jade quartz
#

right click it and reset target enemy

Shire gear

no

#

there's an achievement for getting them to 80

#

but the characters are built to artificially take 30+ minutes per dungeon

wispy orbit
#

GNB relic weapon, skill speed and crit hit?

#

oh, skill speed not recommended, crit/det it is

honest anvil
#

gnb and tanks generally want some sks

#

but unless you’re doing savage and higher, just max crit/ det for simplicity

neat patrol
#

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?

faint flare
#

It's Lootmaster

neat patrol
#

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?"

fiery ginkgo
#

Yeah no everyone rolls need and you pray on rng

ripe hound
#

Yeah open queue just uses “Normal” loot rules

wispy orbit
#

Has to be a fully premade group to have lootmaster

fiery ginkgo
#

speaking of lootmaster. whats the general consensus of it?

ripe hound
#

If it’s PF just don’t join

wispy orbit
#

I think it would work for a static that has set goals

ripe hound
#

If it’s static it works

fiery ginkgo
#

I want to make a Lootmaster PF where mounts are free for everyone in PF (I roll pass). I just want the boss mat

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

Even with such a ruleset? Was kind of what I was worried of

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

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)

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

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

ripe hound
#

Yeah

neat patrol
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

I see. So if I try lootmaster with randoms "expect nobody to join"

ripe hound
#

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

neat patrol
#

There's always such a difference with NA and Asia communities in games

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

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"

ripe hound
#

Well it’s pretty much the same

#

Are you on free trail and have no access for MB?

fiery ginkgo
#

Im not. but said materials pretty expensive

#

...last I checked

#

1.2m

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

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."

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

I have a pretty sizable KC overall but ill try my hand at melting greed weapons.

#

then again its only 1.2m

ripe hound

Usually if an item is worth barely anything to me, but worth a lot for someone else, I’m fine passing

fiery ginkgo
#

might be better to just make the gil and buy it

ripe hound
#

Like for example, someone want a Diamond Weapon for an alt job, I can pass

#

I don’t get much from dysnth that

#

Yeah

fiery ginkgo
#

Cant desynth DW weapons anyway

neat patrol
#

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.

ripe hound
#

Yeah

fiery ginkgo
#

since 520 is the desynth cap

ripe hound
#

It’s just gonna be in the glamour dresser until 6.0

atomic gulch
#

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?

ripe hound
#

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

fiery ginkgo
#

Im just glad non tradables are a one off deal

#

I actually managed to get of the few AR minions after enough attempts

neat patrol
#

Kinda wish there was an option to "auto-pass" on already owned/obtained items, when it comes to like, minions, music scrolls, etc.

real prairie
#

hey can someone join me in an undersized party for Arum Vale, gotta get Cyclops dudes power "glower"

cursive ridge
#

#

#

and remember to heal

Can I make my hotbars smaller than 60%?

real prairie
atomic jewel
#

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

cursive ridge
#

SMN gets a melee attack and charge in ifrit phase in endwalker, also that is not a question

flat oracle
#

Anyone know how I can add a bed on top of my loft? I can’t add furniture on it for some reason.

vernal urchin
#

is the song that plays in the shifting oubliettes of lyhe ghiah an orchestrion roll?

atomic jewel
#

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

vernal urchin
#

you might like red mage

#

plus summoner is getting a rework for endwalker, has some stuff you might like

minor fulcrum
#

Speaking of rdm, why does reprise seem useless

faint flare
#

It's no

minor fulcrum
#

Why would you ever use it though

faint flare
#

Extreme movement

#

Or fixing your mana

minor fulcrum
#

movement?

faint flare
#

You can reprise twice per min without losing dps

#

Yes

#

You can't always trigger dualcas

minor fulcrum
#

like during holminster when you have to run in a circle?

cursive ridge
faint flare
#

Yes

cursive ridge
minor fulcrum
#

huh

vernal urchin
#

darn

minor fulcrum
#

so it's RDM's version of true north

#

in a sense

faint flare
#

It's their running n w

#

Ruin 2

#

Cause rdm is the least mobile caster

cursive ridge
#

for long movement sure, but they're very nice at slowly shuffling across the field xD

minor fulcrum
#

Would probably be one of the best if engagement was ogcd non-shared with displacement

delicate frigate
#

anyone able to help me out in getting 1000 needles and sardine throw for my blue mage...?

cursive ridge
#

that wouldnt make sense, engagement is so you can use that cooldown when you can't jump out

atomic jewel
#

I've tried red mage a lot but I just remeber it not being very fun with it'd melee combos

minor fulcrum
#

cause it's not a melee class

cursive ridge
#

it's a ranged class cosplaying as melee

atomic jewel
#

I am stupid lol

minor fulcrum
#

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

atomic jewel
#

I think ill try it again

#

I keep feeling bad because I keep using roulettes on classes I don't end up playing

minor fulcrum
#

nothign wrong with that

atomic jewel
#

Not that has to do with anything we're talking about lol

#

Just wanted to vent

minor fulcrum
#

If you're not needing lvl 80 roulette stuff it's mostly for xp

median dagger
#

´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 ?

atomic jewel
#

I just feel obligated to get to 80 on some more classes before EW

#

And I also like playing tank

patent citrus
#

then you just didn't continue

#

check out your journal

atomic jewel
#

I think ill keep leveling my paladin

#

But I dont think it's too fair to judge a class at level 50 n stuff

median dagger
#

i cant believe im that stupid. maybe just tired ... lmao. thank you ❤️

median dagger
patent citrus
#

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

median dagger
#

definitely

karmic granite
#

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 ?

uneven lance
#

Green diamonds are full for Dravanian Hinterlands, but the yellows are not. What does that mean?

warped nest
#

Remind me, 10 green diamonds, or 10 yellow diamonds?

uneven lance
#

10 green diamonds I have. But I have 2/5 yellows

warped nest
#

Yellow diamond comes from doing your msq or bluequest

karmic granite
#

Yellow diamonds are quest diamonds.

uneven lance
#

ohhh so I gotta do the quests in this area? Trying to reach the lightkix npc for Alexander

dawn hare
#

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

warped nest
#

I believe that you need to get the kill, which means scenario two

cursive ridge
#

interesting, apparently some quests ignore "not high enough level" rule? it's letting me turn in lvl2 quest as lvl1

honest egret
#

Is there a way to turn off chat bubble when someone finalizes

karmic granite
#

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

dawn hare
#

thank you

warped nest
#

Perhaps, but it is so low in the level that it hardly matters

#

Won't work on higher level quests

uneven lance
#

Awesome thank you @karmic granite & everyone!

patent citrus
#

That class req is LV 1

harsh vale
#

quick question, what's the best crafting/gathering for making gil?

cursive ridge
raven bolt
#

Why is my synthesis breaking at 5 durability with careful synth?

cursive ridge
#

because careful synth uses 10 durability?

raven bolt
#

does it not still count as complete even if the durability cost goes over?

cursive ridge
#

if you finish it with that cast you're good

#

if it's unfinished, it breaks

raven bolt
#

I did finish it though...

cursive ridge
#

must have miscalculated by small amount

raven bolt
#

crap I'm like 13 progress off

cursive ridge
#

eat a bagel that gives you craftsmanship or something

leaden ginkgo
#

how do you repeat 21-30 of heaven on high?

minor fulcrum
#

Reset your progress and queue for it

#

Same way you do 51-60 in potd

spark anchor
#

whats a weapon for dark knight to get at level 50?

modest igloo
#

ironworks

spark anchor
#

#

midnight tinsel
#

Augmented ironworks

spark anchor
#

midnight tinsel
#

spark anchor
#

spark anchor

spark anchor
#

when would be the next level
