Are other boss battles like that? I've honestly never noticed...
noticing the most important job is being left out of patch notes anywhere i can find
where can i get the rest of these "iron" set?
or will bluemage get added stuff in later patch? 
blue mage is always later patches
what is this function called? im new to the game
crafting
log
oh thank you
full set makes you look really silly
looks fine to me hehe
Metal Cat ears
METAL CAT EARS
nooooooooooooooo
Also in gameplay it looks odd, when you’re fighting
You can wear the default race gear
type /craftinglog
i havent found the glamour quest
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
it says unavailble this time
can i learn it all?
im afraid i might learn the wrong crafting job
you can learn all classes, combat, crafter and gathering all in this game
you cannot
if you feel like you chose the wrong one you just unlock the next one you want
and you have both now

yeah you just have access to every job, zero catches
okay thank you guys! gtg lunch

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.
!faq questicon
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
can use the command mentioned earlier or the default interface
The default keybind is N, so it’d be beside there
that too, tho i keep forgetting it so i just drag the craftlog out from that menu and place it on my bars, easier to keep track of
(as a fellow new player :3 )
@night sable note that the gear the vendors sell is the same as crafting gear, but more expensive than the mats it is made from, for example, you can just buy the whole heavy iron set from the vendors in towns if you want
If i exchange previous week wondrous tail after this week reset can i still pick up the current week book?
The books last for 2 weeks, and yes
you should be able to, yes, as that's the advice i hear for EW release
Ok nice

max bozja rank is still 15 right?
Any mch gamers here i need to ask a few question
25
o/
briefly there are periods where you do only your 123 combo but very short those are
Also use (reassemble) + drill and anchor when available right?
preferrably under raid buffs
mch is one of the higher apm jobs so prepared to be busy
reassemble + drill on cd
so i got a question about making gil on low level alt
do i need to wait for reassemble to off cooldown
better drill than air anchor cause it lines up better with buffs .. and queen timing
to use drill
no, use drill on cd
they’ll line up if you do the opener correctly
cause 20s + 55s cd
so whenever reassemble is up, drill will be too o/
If my lag is stupid terrible on a trial and I am the healer, what is the best way to bow out?
Do I just log out on the menu?
I see, also both of these
After explaining the situation?
what’s a really fast way to get 20k xp
you cant let it cap right
Palace of the dead I hear is fast levelling
you can cap it, but don't overcap it
you need to max out your battery gauge for maximum deeps
true but potd takes like 15 minutes
the blue one?
Roulettes can be fun if you are needed type
i only need a little xp to unlock the next dungeon
yes
Fate?
i see thanks
trueee good idea thanks
you can watch a wesk alber guide on machinist if you're still unsure
alright, ill check it out
I guess I just select log out after explaining the lag if it is murdering the trial?
then when you're ready to be more efficient, then you can check out guides in the balance discord
you can start doing that at lvl 80 :>
orange one you use whenever you have 50 AND drill/ air anchor’s CDs are longer than 8 seconds and you’ll have enough 50 for the incoming wildfire
yes
blue one you generally use 1 gcd around reassemble + drill
what do unaspected and aspected mean?
soo to augment ryunohige + 2, I'll need something else other than protean crystals? any idea what is it?
Just started custom delivery for Kurenai.
Where do I get the crafting components for her collectibles? I cant seem to find the vendor unlike that for Zhloe and Mnaago which are in their respective zones.
The wares vendor in Tamamizu
standing next to a pile of crates, probably next to the mender I forgot exactly
Ok thanks!
not sure what zone you’re but the drops from the final boss of that zone
5 of iirc
you're gonna need to get 3 feathers that drop from pazuzu fate
Folklore for Logging and Harvesting comes from the same items, right?
anemos
anemos then pazuzu’s feathers
oh... is there a another way to get them other than fate?
you can alternatively buy them with crystals at a vendor near one of the gates of the anemos starter area
300 each
so like 900 crystals iirc
it’s a rare NM .. gotta wait or buy with crystal ^
birdwatcher
yeah
!faq armourer
uh where can i find the armourer in ul'dah?
heya how you make easy gil in low level?
needed that class
thank you very much!
armorer guild is in limsa
do msq .. you’ll get plenty; then do roulette
I have Othardian Folklore for Harvesting but not for Logging, is that ok?
Do I need another book to get it for Logging, or does it stay empty?
wheres limsa
msq?

this is MSQ
I'm asking questions too lmao
my bad ;_;
np
alrighty
iirc the Sb books are split between orthard and gyr abania?
gathering one? yeah afaik
sell at marketboard all the rewards u get on quests (not dungeon drops)
ooohhh that okay cool
for complete list https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Tomes_of_Regional_Folklore
gotcha ty
so the way whispering dawn works is that its cast once and applies a hot, not continuously cast like embrace, correct?
I have the Botanical Folklore from othard, but it only have stuff in Harvesting, but not in Logging, in Logging the list in Gathering Log is empty, is that ok?
for buying a house, am I suppose to be constantly trying to buy, or like once every minute or something like that
constantly
get your wireless controller and just do something else while pressing the buttons
I think so yeah, from the website you could see the list of items
is there a certain bind that funnels through sleect, buy, fc house, and buy again
as long as you bought both books, that's all you can get from the folkfore
more like, I don't remember which folklore I bought already, but my othardian folklore for Logging is empty, but not for Harvesting, what can I do to get Othadian Folklore for Logging, or is it always empty?
you can't buy double books, you can check to the NPC
once you bought once, it will give you a warning that you already owned the book
yeah, but for that I'd need to buy the tokens XD so it's a waste too only for checking
oh really? I thought it still give you the option that you already have the item
even if you don't have the gathering scrips to buy it
but you can check the item that added from the website
if the listed items, you already have them all
then it means you already bought both books
you’re buying old books the expensive ways with tokens >.>
how can I check that? if the items (books) are spent when used
buy directly with scrips
which NPC does that? XD
with that I'm understanding there is a web that shows me which book/item I've already bought even if I used it, is that it or am I getting it wrong?
you can’t physically buy a book you already used
nice, I'm gonna check.
game stops you
btw, If I bought too many tokens for folklore books, is there anything to do with tokens instead of discarding them?
can't do anything about it
keep as a weird trophy ~
just discard, yeah xD
XD
yellow scrips are easy to get
yes; always empty; Orthard book gives 3 harvesting nodes: no logging node
There’s orthard books
thxs, that's what I wanted to know
ah I get it, you bought the token and you trade the token to the books
you can buy them directly with the scrips
can skip the token
same price, 250 scrips vs 5 token @50 scrips
just to know, is there an NPC for skipping token for ShB folklore too?
not for shb
oooh maths is good maths

what should i do with my tomestones of allegory?
Trade them for stuffs at Eulmore
what stuffs to start tho?
The most immediate benefit is body gear
drop 975 allegories or so, get an ilvl 490 gear
Allegories/revelations can be traded for coupons that can buy the corresponding weps
but I forgot how exactly
at that point just grab em for glam if you want

Either glam, or patch up where other gear is lacking
People on PS4/5; does your D-Pad quick link freaks out if you use the touchpad a little?
The selection hand thing
what do unaspected and aspected mean?
No element vs having one
unaspected means it has no element
is there a difference besides the change of adjective?
largely irrelevant outside of blu mage and other gimmick content.
Matters on some jobs
E.g. black mage has different buff interactions with fire and ice spells
Masked carnivale enemies have elemental weaknesses
is there a better use for tomestones of allegory than getting rain for augmented exarchic?
buy crafting materials and seell
relocation ignores timer
even if someone is attempting to purchase?
well yeah
so, that old spot would go up then i presume
nah the old spot vacated by relocating will also be put on a timer
hey how you sell stuff on market board?
is there anyway to tell how long a house has been up on the market
No
Order your retainer to sell the items
can't but its less than 24 hours
Give it to your retainers
oh? hire a retainer?
depreciation in 2021 :)
The timer until a vacated plot becomes available for purchase is a random amount of time
Ye, they do marketboard things
You get 2 for free
And can’t be seen
All you can do is spam click the purchase button for hours with no clue when it will come up
So looking at how much it’s depreciated isn’t helpful
if you acutally want a house wait until 6.1 and login the second the server goes live and just buy the plot you want
just takes patience and 5 minutes
you also have literally every spot on the map to pick from
more or less interested in the current systen
kind of like people leveling smn in bozja rn
so theoretically
if you luck is terrible, you could be running from plot to plot while FCs and Existing homeowners essentially play a game of leap frog with housing plots
doesnt ishgard housing bring a lottery
It do
anyone know if viera can wear the reaper hat from the job gear when EW comes out?
u buy tickets and then its up to chance
yes, the artifact gear hat
:D
well u get the money back for the ticket if u dont get it so its kinda neat
Alright, a question
If you use level 80 crafter to craft something in Ishgard Restoration
Can you use that hand in to level up your crafter that isn't 80?
Applies the same to gatherers as well?
Gatherers don’t get exp from their diadem turn ins, I’m pretty sure
Ok, kinda sucks. Thanks
what would you recommend as materia melds for a SAM for the kirin armor in eureka?
usual sam melds iirc are crit > dh > uuugh I think sam hates sks? so crit or dh
for lower level dh > crit

At end game, SAM can meld SKS to get to weird GCD tiers
Since SAM can be played with 2 filler, 3 filler, or 4 filler
should i just discard these? at best they what, will save me like a thousand gil, or even nothing since i get my dark materia from gc seals
Im levelling a new character on a new data server (only level 54, half way through HW)
Im guessing there is no way for me to get the lucian princes attire there?
The events over, so nope
Okay ty <33
I can live without it I guess xp
And I couldnt finish the regalia grind in time so oop
Im not missing kuch
Bitter Memories farming
The drops in Bozjan are abysmally low?
I mean sure, OK, Anti Tower spam but still
ANything else I need to do in BOZJAN?
I got it before; and just randomly dropped but now trying for WHM and WAR weapons; no drops.
6 Bitter Memory of the Dying Bitter Memories of the Dying obtained as a guaranteed drop from Level 60 Dungeons, once per day from Duty Roulette: Leveling or as a random drop from enemies found in The Bozjan Southern Front.
I will try BOZ again later
Is their a way on controller to make it prioritize enemies instead of who's closer during combat
Anyone know why the triple triad cards aren't on the moogle treasure trove vendor? For some reason I dont see them listed here unless they are sold elsewhere?
they need MSQ progression
scroll to the very bottom https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/mogmog-collection/202110/7pBwXOpUFp

ahhhh that makes sense I was looking all over for some sort of prereq or something thank you so much 🙏
Why do Forgotten Fragments of Tenacity only give one action? x.x
What's Lost Bubble even do?
Increases maximum HP of self or target player by 30%. Duration: 600s
@boreal tree you'll get more bitter memories than you need cluster farming
im actualy sad about this
i tot they'd push it forward
since halloween was like last month
Thank you, Niv.
It's just weird as to why, last night, I didn't get a drop at all; I was in 3 skirmishes
And even those events where you fight a monster
ANd you get partied with 7 other DPS
I'll try again later on
They do! I know it did because it dropped for me before while I was farming for my SMN
I'll just randomly kill mobs later on.
yeh, you usually farm them with clusters
you do it in group
with specific essences and lost action
you've never heard of january halloween?
Are the Tomes of Regional Folklore necessary to actually find these "hidden" items, or can they be found if you know where they are, and they just don't show up in the gathering log?
They're necessary, you can't see the node if you don't have them, so you can't commence gathering.
ok thanks, gotta grind yellow scrips then
“Hidden” items are a separate mechanic
well, i was rather thinking of ephemeral and such nodes
But yes folklore tomes are necessary to see legendary gathering nodes
the ones that only show up at certain times
but apparently these are separate again
Ephemeral are again something different
Legendary nodes also only show up at certain times, but only if you have the relevant folklore tome
thanks for the Info
Is there any gear/gil penalty when switching servers on a given data center?
no
Make sure to follow the steps in order to complete transfer service:
World Transfer Service
one of the checkpoint mention gil, but not sure if that's what your case
The amount of gil that can be transferred is limited to 999,999,999 gil per character and retainer (including any gil attached to a moogle letter)
hnm, there is then
No
That’s the gil cap lol
I.e. there is no cap for transfers
The cap is the same as the maximum amount of gil it’s possible to have.
It’s worded like that because there used to be a gil cap
i know but /whoosh
So they just replaced the previous cap with 999999999
Thanks for the information, tho it looks like to accomplish what I want to do I'll need to Data center transfer instead
Thanks, Vie!

Which emote makes you "prepares for battle"?
I legit never used shirk before as a tank,usually i just stopped attacking for a bit and turn off tank stance when it is time to swap. So do you use that on yourself on other tank?
/battlestance
Some MSQ reward
You get it in Heavensward
in savage theres time where theres 2 back to back tank swaps
shirk just makes it fast since you lose 0 uptime
Are there difficulty levels for dugneons or something that makes them harder?
Just completed the first one.
nope
Are all dungeons are as easy as first one?
nope
Thank god
lvl cap ones are pretty easy
but theres some in the leveling process that are a difficulty spike
no but no dungeon in this game is really difficult
they're designed to be extremely easy content as a whole
yeah none as hard as "high end" content
So, let's gauge it this way.
How often communication between party members is requied?
never
non existent
meh
Are raids any better? Or what is local equivalent?
might be easier if you gave a game you played so I can give a relative difficulty if I've also played it
Vanilla wow, ragnaros raid for a benchmark, why not.
once you start seeing extreme and savage things get spicy
uh... the harder endgame content is probably harder than molten core
ultimates makes the hardest wow raids look easy imo
but even the hardest stuff won't touch Naxx 40 if that's what you want to go off of
this is true only for modern WoW
PVP content unlocks on lvl 25, I take it?
PvP content is FFXIV is not really serious or competitive FWIW. it's often the 1 aspect of the game that's criticized
lvl 30
think it requires MSQ progress too
since you've played MMOs, I'll list FFXIV content in terms of how PUGable they are
Is there a site where I can select my race and try on different items so I know what they look like prior to purchasing anything? For glamour that is.
https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model?language=2 this one's an online model viewer but no character customization or shaders
FFXIV Web Model Viewer
I don't mind I'm just looking to see how the clothes look, is all. The tiny thumbnail on each item does fuckall to give you a hint tbh xD
Thank you!
Male falafel clothing rule of thumb: no matter what it is, if it goes on torso - it's a skirt now.
Lole, for better or worse x)
giga noob question: how do i know how many custom deliveries the NPC wants, before switching to something else? sometimes it's 3, sometimes it's 6 deliveries of that type
which should I do unlock Dwarven Beast Tribe or just do Ishgardian Restoration
that's not what i asked
He means before the bar is filled and the NPC switches item.
yeah. there's a bar?
Which I'm also curious about but I just do 3 at a time myself. Not a big deal :/
yeah i also do 3 then go back and check
Yeah talk to them, you can see a bar on top, by the hearts.
In the item menu
Where you see what they want
i'm at max, but i don't have the "sweater" level of satisfaction
i don't know if that's a thing
that sweater thing
o..
Only possible once they're done, which all but Charlemend are I see.
I mean when you open the window where you can see what item the NPC wants, there's a bar on top showing how far along you've gotten.
yeah so good so far
don't know if it's 3 items or 6 though
it's either super hidden or you just have to make 3 or 6
Yeah me neither, but looking at how much the bar fills when you hand in one item, can give it away. But by then you're handing stuff in anyway so 🤷♀️
yeah lol
you can see the numerical value of current satisfaction level when you hover over the bar in the turn-in window
and you can see how many satisfaction each turn-in will give in the table below
Well shit, I missed that too.
so you can see if 3 will level up or 6
can i do it from the timer thing?
Some info: Vis means "wise" Swedish. Fitting. Listen to the guy.
yeah it opens if you click on the names
but how many is 90.. Hmmge..
thanks sir
Hello ! Do you know if after endwalker, azurée (blue quests, Ehll Tou, Fete present) will disappear completely?
I highly doubt it cause they're linked to other things.

No
Fetes might go away but outside that I doubt it
I have two beast tribe ranks up today but want to do the Dwarven Beast tribe too
any suggestions?
I've already spent 3 quests for Pixies and there's the additional three
and Qitari is close to rank up so about 6
I only have 9 allowances left
the only difference is that it's slower?
if you can not reap the addition quest, should not rank up today
No
The difference is doing 12 beast tribe quests today vs 12 beast tribe quests tomorrow
If you ranked up today that's 12 allowances on ShB tribes today
guys
whats the best way to do this one? i tried doing fates but i haven gotten a single one after 3 fates
que for raids and do fates while you que
first ones of each since they have the biggest ilvl gap
New question: When using the data transfer service is the chocobo saddle bag counted as a retainer or personal items? or do i need to remove those in advance.
took about 150 fates for the whole farm back when i did it
personal items
man... i wanna do this one before doing savage runs
anyway im gonna queue for my lower lvl healer and just go
which one/
I want to pick up a healer, I've played WAR/DRK to like 70 and a couple of dps jobs to 60, so I'm still pretty new.
Which healer would you suggest for a beginner?
white mage
Is SCH more difficult than WHM?
Inherently yes
White mage is a pure healer
You react to damage and heal it
Scholar is a barrier healer
I can't log into my ffxiv launcher cus it says "password invalid". I can log in the browser just fine though and I can login yesterday. Pls help
You pre emptively shield to reduce damage
Ooh right, whm definitely sounds better for me! I'll watch some vids ^^
Weskalber
Best job guides on youtube
are FCs world independent?
no, dependent
just data center or also world? because on most recruitings only the data center is mentioend
World Specific
Free companies are locked to the world
Some FCs have like, branches in other worlds i think
oh okis
but they are world dependent. If ur on Moogle, u can only be in a Moogle FC
where do I find FCs? didn't find anything in #603040858782040095

nice ty
Anyone know what happens to excess exp in the trial? I'm almost at lvl 60 on my main and got a lot of story still left to do
gone
😦 was hoping it wouldn't but thx 🙂
If the MSQ is at level 60 it wouldn't give significant XP anyway
You could pick up an alt class if you don't want to "waste" the exp but you'd have to lvl it up to your msq lvl
can i change the wallpaper of the glade partition door like the blank partion walls
what level will sage, reaper start at ? and can we play them day 1 ?
70, and yes
70.. damn. wouldn't it be hard to learn the class with almost 90% of its skills ready ?
have you played dancer or gunbreaker
a bit, yeah
it's probably similar
PLD chad only
you just have even more but as long as you read and practice you should be fine
well that explains it
ouch ..
wanted to try other classes but every time i think about it i remember that sage and reaper are around the corner
it’s why you’ll see it recommended by a few people that you purposefully play a few lower level dungeons on a class like this that starts at a higher level
so you have less spells to worry about
who knows? you might enjoy those classes more than you will enjoy reaper or sage
i just hope there will be a guide day one
well, if there is it’ll be incredibly basic
no one will have a chance to try the classes beforehand
If a mining node only has items that have no chance for HQ, is there another way to get "Hidden" items faster since you cannot use "Luck of the Mountaineer"?
There are prelimary guides over on the balance discord
they have one for RPR at least
i mean.. am going to main like 5-6 classes only
there isn’t i’m afraid, you’ll just have to cycle nodes until you get one
not going for all classes
there wont be lmao
thats asking too much
try a week or two, maybe longer
oof... what efforts I go through to complete my gathering log
if there is itll likely be hastily put together and filled with wrong info
is it those nodes near wineport with only the crystals and nothing else? 
i know the feeling
didnt people get a chance to try the class 2 weeks ago ? zepla one of them
cedarwood,
stuff can change between the media tour and release
it has before
only has pigments and crystals
maybe they have the general combo
so no, i wouldnt expect one
theres theory crafting but we dont have the final changes that they may or may not make yet
so dont expect one unless its a trashheap
and also they had the briefest of time to play those classes
^
raids dont come out for a month if you mean savage
you will have more time to play that clsss on day 1 than they did in the media tour
more than enough times for guides to be up
You can prolly figure out as much as any other person by just reading tooltips when it releases
nah i mean old raids
just read hte tooltips then lol
just finished SHB and still have a lot of raids to do
for what it’s worth not many people will be doing old raids either
^
you got the shiny new story and content
no one will want to do old stuff when there’s new stuff for the first couple weeks
can get people via roulettes doing em butpeople will focus on new stuff
so queue times wont be as quick as the new stuff
Hey, looking for 1 more class to level before EW, thoughts on machinist, bard, red mage?
rdm
most people will unlock reaper and then just stay in bozja
My main is paladin/ninja 😛
and the rest will unlock sage and ruin holminster switch queue
my classes atm
Machinist has cool speed burst phase
Bard has decently high apm for 60s out of it's 80s "rotation"
Red mage you build up a gauge and then go melee mode before going back to building
I already forgot what it was, but when watching EW class change trailer, I remember thinking "that's cool" on bard
lol
mch and rdm are on the simpler end
machinist is AAAAAAHHH-breathe-AAAAAAAHHH-breathe
maybe that's what I need after playing my ninja 😅
you'll enjoy MCH
it's like Ninja's TA window
but more often
hahaha
yeah if you want a slower class, RDM, but if you want to break your fingers, MCH 
Ninja TA is so hectic, I haven't raided or anything (still finishing up ShB story), but cramming every big ability into this window
at least shadowfang is leaving lol
which they'd take mug away too
feels so outta place
is there a reward for getting all blue mage spells?
more blue mage spells is your reward
say no more?
oh yah 45 sec for songs, and the stickers accumulating in a team buff
ninja is still 'gaining' buttons going into EW btw
Dude I'm hyped for chidori and more gap closers
lol
unsure how I feel about new huton ez button
but I suppose hey I get to not have to precast huton
yeah, don’t think they like the idea of having to set up before the fight starts
huton button indeed solves that
honestly hidden feels so outta place too in this game
I'd rather they just make a proper rogue class for it
hidden's one purpose is refreshing my mudras lol
idk what tank I want to me 2nd though, Paladin has been my main since ARR, so that'll stay, but gnb vs warr for 2nd 🤔
throw a dice 😁
GNB
PLD is boring af
not so much ouch. just makes sense you'd feel overwhelmed by a job starting from 70 if you haven't tried another before
WAR is even more boring
all subjective 
you play WAR for its tools and aesthetic, not its rotation
you can play war for whatever reason you want
I personally like war because it feels satisfying to me personally
Just level up the boring classes with Main Scenario Roulette while you do things around the house. /s
i'm sure they direly want to remove that whole concept, but because it's so baked-in they'd struggle to do so
you say /s but that's how I levelled BLM
Hidden is nice in dungeons for mudra refreshes though but that's about it
Same with PLD/GNB/NIN
it also makes the prepull kind of interesting in a fashion
I hate GNB as is more for hotbar bloat
I'll admit my 2.0 pld was kinda dull
PLD rotation is far too set-in-stone for me and has natural jank in it
and this won't change much because huraijin is a potency loss related to literally anything, so prepull huton/armor crush is still how you play the game
at least, as it was on media tour
and NIN is just too fast for me
yeah, you can tell how pld rotation just. drifts a tad. in a strange fashion
well most non-proc are set in stone, no ?
PLD unnaturally so
My ninja doesn't feel like it's set in stone
but there is an optimal way to play it
yeah, set in stone
I hate the Trick Attack Windows
I don't even like the other melee
too many different buttons in a fast order
if you drift you're out
hopefully reaper will be fun 😄
MCH burst is much more bearable to me since it's just 3 buttons
and it's an easy pattern
god mch is mind numbing.
I got dancer to 80, it's quite simple but kinda fun at the same time
where can i look for blue mage groups for farm?
party finder and datacenter-specific discords for BLU
subjective again but it's a perfectly valid thing to feel about it.
datacenter-specific discords for BLU how can i find this
you found it, congrats
more for the savage/extreme duties, though
Blue Academy is the overall information/guide discord for BLU
EU sure loves organising high tier content in discords... didn't know that one existed
yah I suppose talking about what classes to play for EW will be highly subjective for now. You can have "objective" stats with how they perform in raids, but even then you don't really wanna play something you don't enjoy
We also don't know enough about what jobs will be like on release despite the balance going nuts over it. You can see what you feel when it comes out

by the way, won't nin's new gapclosers be even more things you'll need to stick into trick attack?
when people say ultimate trials are really hard, are they hard in the sense of needing requiring more skill or as in more mechanics to memorize ?
both
can you explain what skill needed ?
are the followup attacks to raiton on 1.5 or 2.5 sec gcd?
It's mostly mechanical competency but you're going to need to know to a good degree how to do competent damage around it.
this is highly watered down
You basically needs to play your job at your best, and have great knowledge of how to use your defensive raid utility
so skill as in doing ur rotations properly while dodging and doing mechanics
with no room for error on basically any mechanic
pld seem to be the best choice here
since any unintended damage/failure is generally a one-shot or group wipe
have you seen paladin optimisation?
I think he just meant they have more defensive options
kinda
tables
spreadsheets
don't think pld is hard rotation wise
wheres that cursed pre-pull pld sheet
PLD has a lot of 'cursed' optimization issues in fights with very little to no downtime
also ultimates have cutscenes and shit to work around
since your rotation naturally drifts by 3 seconds or so every minute without any alterations if no downtime occurs
when i play pally it sure as heck ain't optimized, but then again I ain't aiming for world first clear speeds 😂
you also need to be willing to spend a lot of time and background learning on it as well
the ultimate, I mean
@obsidian patio skill speed won't fix that either?

Paladin's natural rotation is approximately 63 seconds long, which means Fight or Flight and Requiescat (both with 60-second cooldowns) are delayed by 1 GCD per minute. In some situations this can cost FoF GCDs or even a Confiteor usage before the end of a phase, and in long encounters with minimal downtime, physical oGCDs must eventually be delayed as well to stay lined up with FoF.
By using 1 less Holy Spirit per minute (or Atonement, if necessary) the rotation may be shortened to 60 seconds. However, this comes at the additional cost of a Goring Blade tick, and may not be a potency gain if the phase ends on a weaker GCD than Atonement as a result, or if a 63-second rotation lines up better with certain mechanics.
There is no simple answer for which rotation is best without considering how it affects the entire encounter.
how will that be with new confetior combo
lol
since u now have to press it 4 times
nothing should change
oh ok
confiteor combo just replaces the immediate goring blade combo
the rotation in theory should be the same length as it is now
Sadge
Point: PLD is janky. Other Point: Ultimates are difficult, and will likely take a lot of time.
I think I'll level my jobs like this for EW;
Right Away: WHM/BLM/RPR/SGE/SMN/WAR
Extremely Tempting: RDM/AST/DRK/DNC/DRG
Looks Neat: SAM/SCH/MCH/MNK
Stuck to Main Scenario Roulette Hell: BRD/PLD/GNB/NIN
hm
good list
AST/BLM/RPR/DRG/WAR/RDM prolly what I'll be heading for, dnc/sam/brd/gnb/mch I'll prolly just forget about
though if role quests are gonna be per pranged role I might as well haul bard up
SGE hotbar buttons had me struggling on figuring out on where to put them on the hotbar simulator site, but then my brain smacked me and said "Just make it like SCH"
too bad 4 of the actions are stuck in WXHB hell
How do I know which items are worth crafting and selling?
check marketboards
check the market board and look at sale history
Stuff like that is also different on other servers and datacenters
so theres no general answer
For the alliance raid quests in ShB to show up in New Game+, I need to complete the weekly quests. Is that right?
i think s o yeah
i forgot how many weeks however
it's worthed, the conclusion was nice for that AR
6 or so, IIRC
Ah okay. Thank you. 
so since I only level by roulette, I guess MSQ roulette "hell" everyday for me😁
same, but only the worst get to suffer in Castrum/Praetorium
the others get to have fun in Leveling+Trials
And then the "fun" roulette of Alliance Raid
...Assuming it's not Crystal Tower
or void ark
Void Ark is acceptable purely because it's not the Crystal Tower
Orbonne > YorHa > Ridorana/Dun Scaith > Rabanastre/Mhach > Void Ark > WoD/Syrcus >>>>>>>>>> Labyrinth
is exp based on enmity?
no
? no
like do tanks gain more exp in dungeons than other classes
no
if you want to say that entails 'gaining more exp in dungeons' then yeah only cuz you're doing more of them 
cool ty
when i do a trial and in the loot is the whistle for that mount everyone gets it?
no
so just one person gets it?
yep
yes
you get pity currency (token) then if you got 99, you can trade them for the whistle
if you are extremely unlucky
@obsidian patio please gib site
for me
right away: PLD/NIN/SMN/RPR
Tempting: GNB/MCH/BRD/SGE/RDM
Looks neat: DNC/DRG/WAR/MNK
Stuck to roulettes: BLM/SAM/MNK/DRK/healers
https://ff14moomoo.com/hotbar_simulator3.html
It's in Japanese, so you'll need to cross reference with other sites/videos to know which actions are what.
im farming the extreme trials mounts and i think u cant trade tokens for them
Good enough! thabk you bro
you can, they're just in a different trade-in window sometimes.
i see
how am i meant to complete this?
when you take leves they each have a card with a different image on it on the quest page
you just need to get 5 unique ones
oh. is it random what you get? i did notice some astrologan--ish cards popping up
there's a set pool of leves at person who gives them to you, but they don't show all of them at once
for all the different types, though there are a few crafter/gatherer ones in there.
ty
trying to open my lvl 60 drk coffer but i kept getting this error message, any pointers?
(i think i have enough space in both inventory and armory chest so its probably not that)
main issue/solution is that it's your "Fabled Belt of Fending"
since that's the same item across all 3 level 60 tank coffers
discard it and you'll be able to open the coffer and get another
i have an issue with the dragoon msq, can some one help me?
name of the job quest and what you are having a difficulty wit
ive finished "into the dragons maw" and i think "sky is the limit" too, im 53 currently and the next quest wont pop on alberic, the issue is that i cant find the quest to progress
why these arrows are showing up?
you can eat the bread
means you can interact with it
can i work on several resistance weapons at once? is it a massive pain to do so?
it's a consumable
yes and yes
thats what i was looking for
yeah you can
they just can't be in the same step
so work on gnb, get it into the next step
and then take the first quest again as a SMN
^its also gonna be a pain in the butt cause relics are meant to be grinds
(relics steps are also added in progressively over the course of the expansion)
when you reach the appropriate lv it will show up
oh i was hoping i can work on them concurrently :|
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
You can stockpile the materials from the bozja relic steps to quickly complete them
this?
how big of a pain is it to get them to ilvl 525?
just continue MSQ
will i be able to finish before EW
525 as in the Blade's Armor sets? You'll need to do all of the Bozja story and spam Dalriada whenever it's up.
you don't need 525 to get into EW
alright that's fine, I wanted to know the StQ story anyway thx

no I don't just want it to be better than what I already have lol
okay okay thank
if i start a new class does that mean my dungeons are also locked until i hit that level to play them?
oh ok. then do i just hunting logs until i can do dungeons or how can i also get a load of xp?
pre-15 is basically hunting log/fates/POTD
and maybe Leves if you want to mix things up
what is POTD and leves?
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
Leves are basically repeatable mini-quests that you can grab from settlements spread around
though for combat classes they're not great for experience

Word of Warning: Make sure to pay attention to how often the item sells for your server so you don't buy a lot of something that doesn't sell often.
Also prices listed on the page can be outdated, so check for yourself in-game just in case before buying the items
can i change the font size of the speech text?
Man I forget do you still get the adventurer in need bonus if it changes while you're qued?
yeah
cool
On Crystal, do people still waymark dance or have they transitioned over to macros?
Which quest should I choose for the Qitari history?
as in, the options? pick whatever you like. Your choices are ultimately inconsequential
how do you move hud elements 1 pixel at a time?
should i be worried that whenever i tried to debit early for Endwalker pre-order it always gives me an error?
as in, the link in the email doesn’t work? same deal to my group in that case so … worrying but not too much
is there a way to force party finder to update the jobs of people in the party? sometimes it doesnt update even after people change jobs.
gotta sign into the website and hit pay now, otherwise it charges you ithink a few days before early access or full launch (idr which) @patent pendant
hit "edit" on party finder and it should
or just remove hte listing and relist it i think
i always encounter an error whenever i try to pay now
basically if you got enough funds on your card, dont worry about it
thats weird, but yea dw about it if you got the funds
itll be charged automatically
Why can't my level 54 RDM use the Platinum Earrings of Casting? I have the Platinum bangles equipped rn
@shrewd kiln is your inventory full?
what lvl is the earring you currently have equipped

uhhh
that earring is actually the best one you could have
it scales off with your level
Ik i just can't glam over it with anything with ilvl >1
and provide you with exp boost
you can't glam over item with lower level requirement
so that earring despite scaling with your level it's still considered to be a level 1 gear
Anyone have any healing advice? I stopped doing regen during pulls because I saw a bunch of people online say that's not a great idea because it takes aggro, but now I am not not sure if I should take that as 100% gospel. I had a rough time in a dungeon where the tank's health was melting during the big pulls and I ended up having to panic heal when he stopped, and now i wonder whether popping regen during the pull would have been better in that situation.
Use regen before you get to adds
once the tank has aggro, you wont be taking it unless they just stand there and don't dps at all
you need to follow your tank
if your tank cant hold aggro with a simple regen something is very very wrong
that being said if 1 or 2 mobs peel off just go to the tank
and they can pick em up by aoeing
that's what i kinda thought, attracting unwanted aggro has never been such a problem
even your healing might generate more aggro, stay near the tank so he can grab that mob's attention
oop misunderstood a message my response made no sense
but yeah, all that sounds good! pretty much how i've been handling stuff, so a regen here and there probably won't kill me
Hey just to clarify, you have to keep track of your own penalty count for abandoning duties right? There’s no in game count for it?
It is easy to track if it is zero
I got one bc I didn’t realize I had another duty selected and I didn’t wanna do that one
I don't think there is a way to see a count. You should be fine 🙂
Thanks!! And if it does reset on midnight JP time, that’s not too long from now anyway
Gotcha
I need to reset the boss im on in a dungeon but the door is locked
is there away to kill myself?
the boss does to little dmg to kill me
killl it
Feelsbad
try to unequip your gear?
cant while in combat
you can't change your gear in combat
why do you need to reset the boss out of curiousity
meanwhile GNB can always just pop Superbolide then cancel the buff whenever they need to die
Forgot to switch weapon while doing my arr relic
i feel ya there
just kill and redo
ah well, not much you can do outside of letting it kill you slowly or just killing it and redoing
yup
Pretty much keep regen on your tank at all times. If you pull aggro just run towards the tank.
the game is on sale right now, and i am thinking of purchasing it but which one do i buy?
!faq buy
match your account region to the store
okay ... so i need to get the complete pack?
Once I'm done with all the Custom Deliveries for all the people, is there anything else that unlocks similar to those "Allied Beast Tribe" quests that unlock once you've done all tribes in an expansion?
don't think so, just think you start having the chance for increased rewards from custom deliveries
Some of the final quests for them have rewards like a mount
there is a mount from one of them, pretty sure that's it though
And unlocking their glams
Ok cool, hope to get there soon. Then that's one less thing to worry about. (The mount is the Ehll Tou one I believe as I chased him first for the card).
yeah, nothing akin to the allied beast tribe quests
Thanks guise
Question on founding a fc, if I can’t get enough people can I use my alts to make a fc?
you can only start an FC with online characters
so unless you can have multiple clients open with those alts on separate accounts, no
just shove some money in some random FC-less people sitting in a town after they sign the charter
Oh I see, have to recruit people, 4 minimum right?
Ok ok thanks a lot!
👍 good luck!!
Are the timeworn maps in the moogle exchange level 80 only or random ?
80
Thanks
They're zonureskins
Which DPS have the best AOE?
Best how?
In terms of AOE
which job can do lots of fire magic?
Yes, but how are you defining "best"?
Imo, ahk morn, flare, warriors decimate
BLM has spells literally named "Fire"
Ik warrior isn't a dps but y'know
Best, visually? Best, damage-wise? What are you looking for here?
I'm looking for a giant explosion with good damage
Black Mage
I see
has the most fire?
Yes
!action fire
Deals fire damage with a potency of 180.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire or removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: 40% chance next Fire III will cost no MP and have no cast time
Duration: 18s
Black mage gets a lot of fire
!action flare
Deals fire damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 260 for the first enemy, and 40% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
And fire 4 is cool
Literally, Fire.
All of its damage is literally in its fire spells
awesome! litterally wanting to make a character based on megumin lol
NEVER, only fire
You have to ice
No, you literally cannot play the class just doing fire.
thats the point ...
!faq blmleveling
Ice is still cool
you'll get kicked for doing nothing
i dont think i would dungeon with that character
If you're looking for a class that just spams fire spells, there isn't one.
BLM is as close as it gets.
You have to dungeon for story
Can PLD solo Coils unsynced? How tough is it?
just pretend that your not-fire phase is you face-down on the floor doing no damage
Most classes can solo most of Coils unsynced. There's a few fights that you'll need at least one friend for though, because mechanics.
just close my eyes and pretend it never happened
thats all i need haha
What spells do you need on BLU to blow up Turn 2 for the tomestones?
